European parliament has a democracy-decorative role. All the important institutional decisions are taken by the commission and the european central bank. The parliament at best approves, or works on the less important stuff. EU is a very undemocratic institution, despite all the pro-democracy talking.

Are those in the commission all Belgians? Where do they come from? What happens if the parliament doesn’t approve? Do “they” do it anyway?
