The European Union is based on a unique economic and political partnership between 28 European countries that together cover much of the continent.
The EU is based on the rule of law: everything that it does is founded on treaties, voluntarily and democratically agreed by all countries. These binding agreements set out the EU's goals in its many areas of activity. There are 3 main institutions involved in EU legislation:
• the European Parliament, which represents the EU’s citizens and is directly elected by them;
• the Council of the European Union, which represents the governments of the individual member countries. The Presidency of the Council is shared by the member states on a rotating basis;
• the European Commission, which represents the interests of the Union as a whole.

Together, these three institutions produce the policies and laws that apply throughout the EU. In principle, the Commission proposes new laws, and the Parliament and Council adopt them. The Commission and the countries then implement them, and the Commission ensures that the laws are properly applied and implemented.
