The parliament proposal for a directive of the EUROPEAN commission, drawing up resolutions, driver opinion and negotiates with the member states in the EU council of ministers.”
“the Candidates for the Conservatives, the Christian democrats, the Centre party and The sweden democrats have said to the father, to Brussels to try to give the EU more weight in the affairs of the labour market, gender equality and social policy.
