Kun ajattelemme Euroopan parlamenttia, kuvittelemme useimmiten parlamentin jäsenet äänestämässä istuntosalissa. Todellisuudessa äänestyksiä järjestetään vain kerran kuukaudessa, täysistuntojen aikana. Millaisia täysistunnot ovat ja mitä niissä tapahtuu?

MEPs debate new trade rules seek to deter foreign powers from bullying the EU or member states into policy changes using economic coercion and enable the EU to take countermeasures.
