Show the answer
Correct answer: die Abgeordneten des Europäischen Parlaments the members of the European Parliament
Why?
In the European elections, EU citizens elect the members of the European Parliament. Germany has 96 seats, more than any other country. The European Commission is not elected by the people: the governments of the EU countries nominate its members, and the European Parliament approves them.
Key term: Europawahl = European election
