This decision sets the number and numerical strength of the European Parliament's interparliamentary delegations, listing each delegation and its number of Members. It also determines the composition of certain delegations, allows up to two vice-chairs for most delegation bureaux, and replaces the 2019 decision.

Key points

  1. Sets the number of Members for each interparliamentary delegation, including bilateral, regional, and multilateral assemblies.
  2. Membership of delegations to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean, Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly, and Euronest Parliamentary Assembly must come exclusively from bilateral or sub-regional delegations covered by each assembly.
  3. Membership of the delegation for relations with the NATO Parliamentary Assembly must come exclusively from the Subcommittee on Security and Defence.
  4. Delegation bureaux may have up to two vice-chairs, except for multilateral assemblies where the number corresponds to Parliament's representatives in the assembly's bureau.
  5. This decision replaces the decision of 17 April 2019 and enters into force on the day of its adoption.
