The French authorities had given notice of the election of Jacques Colombier to replace Edouard Ferrand as Member of Parliament with effect from 2 February 2018.
Parliament took note of his election.
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, Jacques Colombier would take his seat in Parliament and on its bodies and would enjoy all the rights attaching thereto.
