Seating in the Chamber 

The decision as to how seats in the chamber are allocated among political groups, non- attached MEPs and representatives of EU institutions is taken by the Conference of Presidents (the leaders of the political groups and the President of Parliament) at the start of each legislative term.

Over the past few terms, political groups have been put together like wedges in a pie chart, with the group leaders all in the first row, except when a new political group is formed half-way through the mandate.

Parliament members debate the European Green Deal -the EU’s upcoming climate strategy- with the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal, Frans Timmermans, to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent.
