Political groups will prepare for the constitutive session of Parliament’s tenth legislative term, which will take place on 16-19 July in Strasbourg. The session will start with the election of the President of the Parliament. MEPs will then elect their Bureau (14 Vice-Presidents and five Quaestors) and decide on the number of MEPs and composition of each parliamentary committee and delegation. On Thursday morning, they are expected to hold a debate with Ursula von der Leyen, the candidate for the Commission Presidency, followed by a vote on her election. On Wednesday morning, Parliament is set to assess the outcome of the 27 June EU summit in a debate with European Council President Charles Michel.

The final draft agenda for the plenary session will be decided by Parliament’s Conference of Presidents on Thursday 11 July.

European elections: provisional results

The European elections took place from 6 to 9 June. Provisional results are published on the European elections website and are being regularly updated until Parliament’s constitutive session.

On the elections website, you will also find national results, seats by political group and country, a breakdown of national parties and political groups, and data on voter turnout. You can also compare results, check majorities, and create your own widget.

Political groups: constitutive meetings

The EPP, S&D, Renew, the Greens/EFA, ECR and The Left groups have already held their constitutive meetings.

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.
