Campaign for Democratic Presidents

The European Union is entering a new era of more openness and greater power for the European Parliament, the only truly transnational elected body of the European Union.

Currently, the Parliament grills the Commission President each month at 'President's Question Time'. But what about the 'other' President? The President of the European Council's job is to set the 'political direction and priorities' of the EU, as head of the European Council. He, too, should face the Parliament and take into account its views and priorities.

European Alternatives demands the establishment of a dedicated Question Time strengthening the relation between the elected European Parliament and the new President of the European Council.

How would it work?
