What is Parliament’s role in Europe?

The UK is one of 25 member states of European Union and is subject to European Union (EU) Legislation. UK government ministers are involved in deciding this legislation and should not agree to proposals before Parliament has examined them.
The role in Europe is:
- Scrutinising UK draft legislation and other EU documents;
- Changing UK law to reflect agreed EU legislation and treaties;
- Holding the government to account on its EU policies and negotiating positions in the EU institutions.
