Parlement européen

The European Parliament (Parlement européen) is a key institution of the European Union, directly elected by EU citizens. It shares legislative power with the Council of the European Union. Recent news highlights its involvement in several significant areas. Firstly, the Parliament has approved the creation of "return hubs" for migrants, indicating its role in shaping EU migration policy. Secondly, the selection of Lille, France, as the location for the future European Customs Authority headquarters, an announcement made by European institutions, indirectly reflects the Parliament's influence, as it likely played a role in the decision-making process. These events underscore the Parliament's ongoing relevance in addressing critical issues facing the EU, from border management and migration to economic and regulatory matters.
