The European Parliament is the only multinational parliamentary assembly in the world elected by universal surage and, since June 1979, the European Union’s only directly elected institution.
Is í Parlaimint na hEorpa an t-aon tionól parlaiminteach ilnáisiúnta ar domhan a thoghtar trí vótáil chomhchoiteann agus is í an t-aon institiúid de chuid an Aontais Eorpaigh í, ó Mheitheamh 1979 i leith, a thoghtar go díreach.
