OBS

The European Parliament, which since 1979 has been directly elected, is a consultative and constraining body (partly by virtue of its power to reject a proposed budget), not a legislature. Although it votes on proposed legislation, a proposal it rejects or amends may still be passed by the Council [of Ministers], if unanimity can be obtained (abstentions permitted).

OBS

Le Parlement européen, élu directement depuis 1979, est une assemblée consultative et limitative (en partie en raison de son pouvoir de rejeter les projets de budget) plutôt qu'une assemblée législative. Bien que les projets de loi soient passés au vote, le Conseil [des ministres] peut néanmoins adopter une proposition qui a été rejetée ou amendée par le Parlement, à condition qu'il y ait unanimité (les abstentions sont autorisées).
