YOU accuse the European Parliament of not having an impact on EU policies. The facts prove you wrong, but even if they didn't it would be strange to write off the EP just as it is about to gain powers that will transform that situation. The EP will soon enjoy equal powers with the Council to adopt EU legislation under a "co-decision" procedure. Why not see how that works first?
