Competenţele Parlamentului European
European Parliament’s Competences

Summary/Abstract: Over the time, Parliament passed from a consultative assembly status to the authentic co-legislator in a European Union, which itself has evolved considerably beyond the original European Communities, both in the sphere of action and competences [1]. The European Parliament is a novelty in the theory of international relations and in the relations between states, this novelty consisting of: composition (its members are not delegated by national parliaments or governments, but are directly elected by the people of the member states); competence (as it has power to co-decision, cooperation, political control, all of which are difficult to find within traditional international organizations) and the place occupied in the institutional structure (because it does not represent the center of decision-making power of the European Union).
