The only directly elected EU institution, the EP represents the bloc's nearly 450 million citizens and has a role in approving most EU legislation. As the EP has accumulated more power overtime, Congress has engaged it on certain aspects of U.S.-EU relations, including through forums such as the Transatlantic Legislators' Dialogue. Electoral gains for parties considered euroskeptic-that is, critical of the EU or anti-EU to varying degrees-may influence the functioning of the EP and the EU and the conduct of U.S.-EU relations. (See also CRS In Focus IF11211, The European Parliament and US. Interests, and CRS Report RS21372, The European Union: Questions and Answers.) Election Results Members of the EP (MEPs) serve five-year terms and typically represent around 200 national political parties. MEPs organize into groups that caucus according to political orientation rather than nationality. A political group must consist of at least 23 MEPs from a minimum of seven EU countries. In the 2019- 2024 EP, there were seven political groups; in the new EP, there are eight. Some MEPs are nonattached or independent.
