The names of the 720 members of the new European Parliament will not be finalized until two or three days after the last polling stations in the EU close on the evening of June 9. The exciting phase of group formation will then begin. Will new political groups be formed – possibly through mergers? What changes will there be between the political groups? Many individual parties from the Member States will only decide which group they join in the weeks leading up to the constitution of the tenth parliamentary term on July 16.
