How does the EU pass LAWS?

The EU passes laws by working together like a big group of friends who all want to play a game, but they have to agree on the rules.

Imagine you and your friends are playing a game, and you need to decide what happens if someone breaks the rules. You each say what you think is fair, and then you all vote to choose the best idea. That’s kind of like how the EU works.

When lawmakers in different countries want to make a new rule for everyone in the EU, they start talking. It's like when your teacher asks you and your friends to figure out what happens if someone forgets their homework, you all have suggestions.

But here’s the fun part: almost everyone needs to say “yes” before the rule becomes official. It’s like needing most of your friends to agree on a game rule before it's set, then, poof, that new rule is part of the game everyone plays!
