This decision sets the number and size of the European Parliament's interparliamentary delegations, listing each delegation and its number of Members. It also sets rules on delegation composition, including that the OACPS-EU delegation draws from regional assemblies and that some delegations draw exclusively from specific bodies. Delegation bureaux may have up to two vice-chairs, except for multilateral assemblies where they match Parliament's representation in those bureaux. Only official delegations authorized by the Conference of Presidents may act on Parliament's behalf.
