Four weeks before the European Elections (22nd-25th May), the Robert Schuman Foundation has published an assessment of the 7th legislature of the European Parliament (2009-2014).
This study highlights data published in the mid-mandate assessment undertaken at the beginning of 2012. The balance of power between political groups, an analysis of the quantitative action taken by parliament and the national delegations’ work are assessed. This is followed by an evaluation of the major issues that have marked this term.
