Political groups: constitutive meetings continue

The EPP, S&D, Renew and the Greens/EFA groups already held their constitutive meetings. ECR, ID and The Left groups’ constitutive meeting are scheduled for 3 July.

Rule 33 of Parliament’s rules of procedure stipulates that a political group must be made up of at least 23 MEPs elected in at least seven member states. In order for a group to be set up, the EP President has to be notified of the name of the group, its members and bureau members and of its political declaration setting out its values, the main political objectives and describing the common political orientation of the group.
