The European Parliament consists of 626 directly elected members. Elections for Parliament take place every five years, according to the national procedures of the Member States.
In contrast with the members of the Council, the members of Parliament do not represent their country of origin. Therefore, they have not been grouped according to nationality, but according to political affiliation. The great number of national political parties has generated some eight political groups:
PPE (European People´s Party)
PSE (Party of European Socialists)
ELDR (European Liberal, Democratic and Reformist Party)
Verts/ALE (The Greens/European Free Alliance)
GUE/NGL (European United Left/Nordic Green Left)
UEN (Union for a Europe of Nations Group)
TDI (Technical Group of Independent Members)
EDD (Group for a Europe of Democracies and Diversities).
In addition, there are the "Non-Attached Members"; this small group does not belong to any of the political groups.
Parliament is led by a president and a ´Bureau´. This regulatory body consists of the President of the European Parliament, fourteen vice-presidents, and five quaestors with an advisory voice.
In addition, there is a Conference of Presidents. This is the political administrative body of Parliament. It consists of the President of Parliament and the chairmen of the various political groups. They fix the timetable for the work of the parliamentary bodies and draw up the agenda for the plenary sessions.
Just watch the videos and see how it has worked out for the People of Europe.
