To illustrate how big a role the European Parliament plays in shaping EU legislation, and how the political and ideological composition of the European Parliament ultimately decides the direction of the Parliament’s footprint, this report focuses on the European Parliament as an institution and on 15 key votes that shaped Europe in 2009-2014. Moreover, the report presents an in-depth case study of Denmark in the European Parliament, examining how Danish MEPs work in the European Parliament. The report is a part of a larger research project, “European Parliament votes that shaped EU and national political 2009-2014” initiated by VoteWatch Europe and Notre Europe.
