The Czech authorities had given notice of the election of Jaromír Kohlíček to replace Miloslav Ransdorf as Member of Parliament with effect from 4 February 2016.

Under Rule 3(2), until such time as his credentials had been verified or a ruling had been given on any dispute, and provided that he had previously made a written declaration stating that he did not hold any office incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament, Jaromír Kohlíček would take his seat in Parliament and on its bodies and would enjoy all the rights attaching thereto.
