Is the European Union democratic?

This question often comes up on EU law exams.
You should evaluate arguments for and against to discuss if the EU is democratic.

Some powerful EU institutions like the European Commission are not democratically elected by EU citizens. For instance the European Commission can initiate legislation in the EU. The Commission’s members are representatives from each Member state but they are not directly elected by the EU citizens. Similarly, the Council of the EU has final decision making power on EU legislations. It also decides on legislative and budgetary functions. However, it is not directly elected by EU citizens.
