The European Union is claimed to have a democratic deficit. Do you think the solution should include that countries transfer more powers to its Parliament
Should the EP be strengthened?
The Euro crisis has made the public opinion to be more concerned with the way European institutions work. The European Parliament (EP) is claimed to be the most democratic institution within the European Union because its members are directly elected in the European elections. However the European Parliament still plays a secondary role in European politics. The European Commision and the Council of Europe are two bodies which hold extensive powers but which are not directly elected by European citizens. Many important decisions in Europe are negotiated directly by member states with little input from the European Parliament. Other bodies, like the European Central Bank, also have a big influence but their members are appointed, not elected by citizens.
Do you think that the EU would be a more effective supranational organization if countries would agree to transfer more powers to the EU Parliament? Or do you think that this transfer of power would undermine sovereignty in member states?

Hi, I’m Ashlee here in Addison. After having multiple bad experiences with credit repair companies and figuring out the credit scores they told me they boosted were false and the negatives on my report weren't cleaned I tried PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I want to publicly appreciate the effort that helped me to increase my credit scores when I was suffering from low scores of 556 and suddenly shot up to 796 within 6 days. I happened to meet this dude on Quora and contacted him by email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / +1 (409) 231-0041. Sincerely, I’m pleased after everything he did for me. He didn’t charge so much but delivered on his part. Contact him for all sorts of credit repair, he will be willing to help you.
