2021/2917(RSO)

The European Parliament adopted by 686 votes to 2, with 4 abstentions, a decision on setting up a delegation to the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly and defining its numerical strength.

The decision seeks to establish a new standing delegation to the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly with 35 members.

The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement provides for the establishment of an EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly composed of Members of the European Parliament and of Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which:

- may request relevant information regarding the implementation of that agreement and any supplementing agreement from the EU-UK Partnership Council, which shall then supply the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly with the requested information;

- shall be informed of the decisions and recommendations of the EU-UK Partnership Council; and

- may make recommendations to the EU-UK Partnership Council.

The bureau of the delegation should consist of two vice-chairs.
