4. Composition of Parliament

The competent French authorities had advised that Thierry Cornillet and Patricia Lalonde had been elected to replace, respectively, Sylvie Goulard and Marielle De Sarnez as Members of the European Parliament, with effect from 18 May 2017.

Parliament took note of their election.

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