European Parliament after the BREXIT
Many of the MEPs leaving have been representatives in Brussels and Strasbourg for many years and have contributed significantly to advancing the agenda of the parliament. At the same time, the decision on what will happen to their seats after the UK left the European Union was made several months before they took up their new mandate after the European election in May last year.
Overall, the size of the European Parliament will decrease from 751 to 705, as 46 of the 73 now former UK seats will be kept vacant and may be filled by representatives from future new member states of the European Union. 27 seats however will be taken up by representatives from existing member states that have, until now been on a reserve list and who will become members of the European Parliament in the next few days. We have compiled a list of those new MEPS
