Korte uitleg over de controlebevoegdheden van Europees Parlement (en)

The European Parliament uses its supervisory powers to keep an eye on the other EU i institutions

The EP i plays an important role in ensuring other EU institutions behave in a democratic way, but how does it do that? Check out our website's updated supervisory powers section to find out more, for example how it exercises democratic control over the European Commission, including the power to approve and even dismiss the EU executive.

In addition, the head of the European Council must report to Parliament after each summit of EU heads of government, while ministers of the country holding the Council's rotating six-month presidency are in Parliament on a regular basis.
