Сonclusion
Now in a form and the organization of the activity the representative body of the European Union almost completely corresponds to national parliament, and his members use classical parliamentary privileges and immunities.
In the course of the activity the European parliament closely cooperates with legislature of the states of the EU, what allows to coordinate approaches to management of integration processes as at the national, and supranational level, to form the regulatory base for regulation of the relations connected with various aspects of activity of the European Union more successfully and also to establish rather effective control behind activity of institutes of the EU.
Within interaction of institutes of the European Union the supranational representative body becomes the active participant of decision-making on various aspects of the European integration, at the same time widely using the powers on control of their execution.
Powers of the European parliament in the foreign policy sphere still remain quite modest, coming down on - to a being to consultations and approval of already undertaken actions that obviously does not correspond to that role which the representative body of the EU plays in other areas.
Now representative body of the EU there is a problem of adaptation to increase in number of members of the European Union after acceptance in its structure of Austria, to Finland and Sweden, along with distribution of integration processes on new areas. In this regard consideration of a question of expansion of its competence and, in particular, about investment of representative body of the EU with originally legislative powers is quite justified. Providing to European Parliament the right to offer directly Council for the subsequent acceptance regulations and directives on this or that question of the European integration could become the solution of a question.
One more essential factor which in the long term can influence evolutionary development of supranational representative body is expansion of its activity in the humanitarian sphere what the institutionalization of a post of the Ombudsman (paragraph 2 of article 138e of the Contract on the European Union), and also granting to citizens of the EU, to the natural and legal entities which are in the territory of the Union, the right of the address with petitions to the European parliament (the article 138d of the Contract on the European Union) speaks well for. Institutes of the Commissioner for Human Rights and submission of petitions in representative body of the EU in the long term will become additional resources of control of functioning of the central institutes of the European Union.
