INTRODUCTION

This document consists of four parts.

  • Part I is a table showing the distribution of the Observers among EP political groups as at 4.2.2004. Government parties are shown in bold.
  • Part II is a table showing the number of national parties represented in the EP: it includes the parties of the fifteen current Member States (with MEPs) and those of the ten acession countries (with Observers).
  • Part III ("Overview") shows the parties in the national parliament of each country - either "G" (in government) or "O" (opposition) - as at 4 February 2004.
  • Part IV ("Breakdown by country") contains three tables per country :

- one showing the distribution of the Observers among the EP political groups ;

- one showing the results of the latest national elections together with the distribution of the Observers among EP political groups (to allow comparisons).

- one listing all the Observers by name, with their country, national party and EP political group.

There are currently seven political groups plus the independent ("non-attached") MEPs :

- EPP-ED : leader - Hans-Gert POETTERING (D)
- PES : leader - Enrique BARON-CRESPO (E)
- ELDR : leader - Graham R. WATSON (RU)
- GREENS/EFA : joint leaders - Monica FRASSONI (B) and Daniel COHN-BENDIT (F)
- EUL/NGL : leader - Francis WURTZ (F)
- UEN : leader - Charles PASQUA (F)
- EDD : leader - Jens-Peter BONDE (DK)

This document was compiled by the Central Coordination Division of the EP's Directorate for Communication.
