Episode 10: European Union and Parliamentary Processes Parliamentary Procedure with Chris and Viktor

This week we take a break from our regularly scheduled exploration of American Parliamentary Procedure and dive into the complicated spider web of bureaucracy  and government by committee that is the European Union.  First, we identify some of the key institutions that compose the Union, such as the European Parliament, Commission, and Council, as well as several other important institutions.  Then, we discuss the Union’s “Ordinary Legislative Procedure” and try to search out some of its unique features and some of the features which parallel the American process.
