There is not legislative power in the EU

Detailed explanation-1: -The European Parliament (EP) shares the legislative and budgetary authority of the Union with the Council of the European Union (of relevant national government ministers). Its 705 members are elected every five years by universal suffrage and sit according to political allegiance.
Detailed explanation-2: -These institutions collectively provide the EU with policy direction and play different roles in the law-making process: the European Parliament (Brussels/Strasbourg/Luxembourg) the European Council (Brussels)
Detailed explanation-3: -Together with the European Parliament, the Council is the main decision-making body of the EU. Not to be confused with: European Council-quarterly summits, where EU leaders meet to set the broad direction of EU policy making. Council of Europe-not an EU body at all.
Detailed explanation-4: -The European Parliament is the EU’s law-making body. It is directly elected by EU voters every 5 years. The last elections were in May 2019.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Parliament acts as a co-legislator, sharing with the Council the power to adopt and amend legislative proposals and to decide on the EU budget. It also supervises the work of the Commission and other EU bodies and cooperates with national parliaments of EU countries to get their input. See how it all works here.
