It serves as a reference point for the EU's policies and actions, ensuring that these values are protected and promoted throughout the member states.

    Members of the EU Parliament are directly elected by voters in the EU.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Members of the EU Parliament are directly elected by voters in the EU. This means that citizens of EU member countries have the opportunity to vote for their representatives in the EU Parliament. The EU Parliament is composed of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) who are elected through a proportional representation system. This system ensures that the number of MEPs from each country is in proportion to its population. Therefore, the statement is true as the EU Parliament is directly elected by voters.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    How often are members of the EU Parliament elected by EU voters?

    • Every 3 years

    • Every 5 years

    • Every year

    • Every 10 years

    Correct Answer
    A. Every 5 years
    Explanation
    Members of the EU Parliament are elected by EU voters every 5 years. This ensures that there is a regular turnover of representatives and allows for democratic accountability. It also provides stability and continuity in the functioning of the EU Parliament, as members have a fixed term in office before facing re-election. This periodicity allows voters to assess the performance of their representatives and make informed choices during elections.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The European Parliament
    A. The Council of the European Union (The Council)
    Explanation
    The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union (The Council) are the main law-making institutions in the EU. The European Parliament is directly elected by EU citizens and represents their interests, while The Council represents the governments of EU member states. These two institutions work together to propose, amend, and adopt EU laws, ensuring democratic decision-making and representation of both citizens and member states. The European Judiciary, although an important institution in the EU, is responsible for interpreting and applying EU law rather than making it. The Government is not specifically mentioned as a main law-making institution in the EU.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    The European Parliament works with the Council to decide on the content of EU laws and officially adopt them.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The European Parliament collaborates with the Council to determine the substance of European Union (EU) laws and formally approve them. This means that both institutions work together to shape and finalize EU legislation. The European Parliament, as the directly elected legislative body of the EU, plays a crucial role in this process by representing the interests of EU citizens and providing democratic legitimacy to the decision-making process. The Council, on the other hand, represents the governments of EU member states. Together, they ensure the adoption of EU laws that reflect the interests and concerns of both the citizens and the member states.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which Treaty gives the European Parliament more influence over EU law-making?

    • Treaty of Lisbon

    • Treaty of Rome

    • Treaty of Nice

    • Treaty of Amsterdam

    Correct Answer
    A. Treaty of Lisbon
    Explanation
    The Treaty of Lisbon gives the European Parliament more influence over EU law-making. This treaty, which was signed in 2007 and entered into force in 2009, strengthened the powers of the European Parliament by expanding its role in the legislative process. It increased the Parliament's co-decision powers, allowing it to have equal decision-making authority with the Council of the European Union in many policy areas. This means that the Parliament has more influence in shaping EU legislation and policies, making the Treaty of Lisbon the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    If a new country wants to join the EU it does not need the permission of the European Parliament.

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In order for a new country to join the EU, it does require the permission of the European Parliament. The European Parliament plays a crucial role in the decision-making process for admitting new member states. It has the power to approve or reject the accession of a new country into the EU. Therefore, the statement that a new country does not need the permission of the European Parliament is false.

    Correct Answer(s)

    A. Democratic Supervision
    A. Supervising the budget
    Explanation
    The European Parliament has several roles, including the Ordinary Legislative Procedure, which involves the parliament's participation in the decision-making process for new laws. Democratic Supervision refers to the parliament's oversight of the European Commission and other EU institutions to ensure accountability and transparency. Additionally, the parliament is responsible for Supervising the budget, ensuring that EU funds are allocated and spent properly. Arranging the signings of current Treaties by member states, however, is not a role of the European Parliament.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Under the Lisbon Treaty the number of Members of European Parliament (MEPs) from each member state is in proportion to its population. What is the minimum and maximum number of MEPs for each country?

    • Min - 9. Max - 99

    • Min - 6. Max - 96

    • Min - 3. Max - 83

    • Min 10. Max - 110

    Correct Answer
    A. Min - 6. Max - 96
    Explanation
    Under the Lisbon Treaty, the number of Members of European Parliament (MEPs) from each member state is determined based on the country's population. The minimum number of MEPs for each country is 6, while the maximum number is 96. This means that smaller countries with lower populations will have a minimum representation of 6 MEPs, while larger countries with higher populations can have up to 96 MEPs. This proportional representation ensures that each country has a fair and balanced voice in the European Parliament.

    The statement "The ECJ is bound to follow the opinion(s) of the Advocate General(s)" is false. While the Advocate General's opinion is influential, the ECJ is not legally bound to follow it.
