The Council of the European Union ( sometimes just called the Council and sometimes still referred to as the Council of Ministers ) is the institution in the essentially bicameral legislature of the European Union ( EU ) representing the executives of member states, the other legislative body being the European Parliament.

The primary purpose of the Council is to act as one of the two chambers of the EU's legislative branch, the other chamber being the European Parliament.

It monitors and co-ordinates work and deals with the Parliament on co-decision legislation ( along with leading the non – EU defence organisation, the Western European Union ).

It elects one Member of Parliament ( MP ) by the first past the post system of election, and is part of the South West England constituency of the European Parliament which elects six MEPs using the d ' Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.

Its capabilities and political implications were investigated by a committee of the European Parliament during 2000 and 2001 with a report published in 2001, and by author James Bamford in his books on the National Security Agency of the United States.

The European Parliament stated in its report that the term ECHELON is used in a number of contexts, but that the evidence presented indicates that it was the name for a signals intelligence collection system.

The UKUSA intelligence community was assessed by the European Parliament ( EP ) in 2000 to include the signals intelligence agencies of each of the member states:

The report to the European Parliament of 2001 states: " If UKUSA states operate listening stations in the relevant regions of the earth, in principle they can intercept all telephone, fax and data traffic transmitted via such satellites.

The report to the European Parliament points out that interception of private communications by foreign intelligence services is not necessarily limited to the U. S. or British foreign intelligence services.

Most reports on ECHELON focus on satellite interception ; testimony before the European Parliament indicated that separate but similar UK-US systems are in place to monitor communication through undersea cables, microwave transmissions and other lines.

In 2001 the Temporary Committee on the ECHELON Interception System recommended to the European Parliament that citizens of member states routinely use cryptography in their communications to protect their privacy, because economic espionage with ECHELON has been conducted by the US intelligence agences.

The European Parliament ( abbreviated as Europarl or the EP ) is the directly elected parliamentary institution of the European Union ( EU ).

A report from the British House of Lords said, “ There is no definitive list of comitology committees, their functions, activities and membership ”; however, since the European Commission started to maintain a list, it states that “ A list of ‘ comitology ’ committees [...] is published as an Annex to the Annual reports on the work of these Committees [...] as well as in the Register of Comitology .” Moreover, the strongest criticism pertained to the fact that the elected European Parliament ( EP ) had no right to block implementing measures: only the comitology committees could do so, and if they did, the proposal was referred to Council alone, even when the initial delegation of powers was through an act adopted jointly by both Parliament and Council under the co-decision procedure.
