European Parliament Plenary Session
The Plenary Sessions represent the culmination of the legislative
work done in committees and in the political groups.
These sessions are where the Parliament formally sits to vote on EU
legislation and adopt its position on political issues. The MEPs (the
Members of the European Parliament) meet around once a month in
Strasbourg for a four-day part session from Monday to Thursday. In
addition to these twelve annual Strasbourg sessions, the Parliament may
also meet in additional two-day plenary sessions in Brussels up to six
times a year.
The European parliament has 736 elected members from 27 Member States
of the European Union and conducts its plenary debates in 23 languages.
The agenda for the plenary sitting is published online. This agenda
is deemed to be definitive only after the adoption by the Conference of
Presidents (of political groups) - in principle each Thursday before the
Strasbourg part-session.
