government. Hence they also are not elected at the same time and the body as a whole cannot be dissolved like most parliaments. As government representatives, members do not vote as individual members but in state blocks, rather than political alignment, to their state governments' agreed line. Each state has unequal voting powers based on population, with an absolute majority required for decisions. Likewise, the presidency rotates equally between members, though each year rather than every six months like in the EU Council. However, unlike the EU's Council, the Bundesrat does not vary its composition depending on the topic being discussed. They both bear similar

They represent their governments and are accountable to their national political systems. Votes are taken either by majority or unanimity with votes allocated according to population. In these various forms they share the legislative and budgetary power of the Parliament, and also lead the 1957: 4942: 2681: 1831: 327: 4827:). The three institutions shared the Court of Justice and the Parliament, however, they had a separate Council and High Authority, which was called the Commission in these Communities. The reason for this is the different relationship between the Commission and Council. At the time the French government was suspicious of the supranational and wanted to limit the powers of the High Authority in the new Communities, giving the council a greater role in checking the executive. 3277: 2806: 4834:, into the European Communities. The institutions were carried over from the European Economic Community (making the Commission of that community the direct ancestor of the current Commission). Under the Treaties of Rome, the Common Assembly (which renamed itself the Parliamentary Assembly, and then the European Parliament) was supposed to become elected. However, this was delayed by the council until 1979. Since then it gained more powers via successive treaties.

There, powers are predominantly shared (states can exercise federal powers where the federation has not already exercised them) between the levels of government, and the states participate strongly with decision-making at the federal level. This is in contrast with other federations, for example the United States, where powers are more clearly divided between the levels of government, and the states have little say in federal decision-making. 4194: 4086: 3603: 3495: 3076: 2967: 2329: 2032: 950: 526: 478: 4314: 4134: 4122: 4050: 3723: 3543: 3531: 3459: 3196: 3016: 3004: 2931: 2746: 2486: 2353: 2317: 2056: 2008: 1896: 1610: 442: 392: 106: 2733: 2707: 1883: 1857: 379: 353: 2551: 1688: 184: 4230: 4098: 3639: 3507: 3264: 3112: 2980: 2889: 2793: 2603: 2499: 2140: 2044: 1753: 1740: 1623: 548: 514: 249: 236: 119: 4182: 3591: 3064: 2720: 2538: 2525: 2460: 2104: 1870: 1675: 1662: 1584: 570: 366: 171: 158: 80: 9216: 6275: 4587: 2876: 2629: 1779: 1636: 275: 132: 3290: 2819: 2590: 1727: 223: 4266: 4170: 3675: 3579: 3148: 3052: 2176: 2092: 55: 2668: 1818: 314: 4362: 3771: 3244: 2365: 1977: 5400: 4290: 3699: 3172: 2577: 2341: 1714: 210: 4158: 3567: 3040: 2080: 6106: 2436: 2772: 1922: 418: 5838:. The European Parliament then interviews and casts its vote upon the Commissioners. The interviews of individual nominees are conducted separately, in contrast to Parliament's vote of approval which must be cast on the commission as a whole without the ability to accept or reject individual Commissioners.
