This decision sets the number of interparliamentary delegations, their regional groupings, and their numerical strength, listing each delegation and the number of Members assigned to it. It also specifies the composition of certain delegations, limits delegation bureaux to two vice-chairs except for multilateral assemblies, and recalls that only official delegations may act on behalf of Parliament.

  3. Membership of delegations to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean, Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly, and Euronest Parliamentary Assembly is drawn exclusively from bilateral or sub-regional delegations covered by each assembly.
  4. Membership of the delegation for relations with the NATO Parliamentary Assembly is drawn exclusively from the Subcommittee on Security and Defence.
  5. Delegation bureaux may have up to two vice-chairs, except for multilateral assemblies where bureaux correspond to the number of Parliament's representatives in the respective bureau.
