Parliamentary calendar 

Parliament’s annual calendar is adopted each year in plenary based on a proposal by the Conference of Presidents.

The calendar is divided into plenary sittings (part-sessions) and other meetings. It comprises of:

• 12 four-day part-sessions in Strasbourg and additional shorter part-sessions in Brussels,
• two weeks a month for meetings of parliamentary committees and interparliamentary delegations,
• one week a month for political group meetings,
• and four weeks a year where MEPs concentrate on constituency work and other external activities, i.e. committee and delegation visits in the EU Member States and globally.
