Model European Union Chisinau is a simulation of how the three main bodies of the European Union (European Commission, European Parliament and the Council of the European Union) function. It mainly aims to provide young people with more insight and knowledge on how decisions are made within the European Union and the ordinary legislative procedure. With the simulation, we aim to connect young peop
le from all over Europe and to show the interaction and work of the European Parliament and Council. Together with the European Commission, those 3 institutions are in charge of EU legislation in the form of directives, regulations and decisions. The Commission drafts and initiates new EU legislation, the Parliament and the Council then, in turn, adopt, reject or amend it. The Commission will be played by the Organizing Team, which drafts the directives (or the regulations) for the simulation in advance. All participants are having assigned roles as MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) or as Ministers of the Council. The discussion on the proposals is made by amending the initial text through altering existing paragraphs or adding new ones.
