[edit]

The Conference of Presidents is the political body in Parliament responsible for the organisation of Parliament’s business and legislative planning deciding the responsibilities and membership of committees and delegations relations with other EU institutions, the national parliaments and non-EU countries. The Conference of Presidents prepares Parliament’s timetable and plenary sitting agendas and allocates seats in the Chamber. The Conference of Presidents consists of the President of Parliament and the political group chairmen. One representative of the non-attached Members also has a seat in the Conference of Presidents but no voting rights. The Conference of Presidents takes its decisions by consensus or by weighted vote based on the number of Members in each political group. The duties of the Conference of Presidents are laid down in the Rules of Procedure. It organises the work of the European Parliament and its bodies. It is consulted on all matters relating to legislative planning and relations with other EU bodies and institutions. The Conference of Presidents generally meets twice a month. Its meetings are not held in public. The minutes of Conference of Presidents meetings are translated into the official languages, printed and distributed to all Members. Any Member may ask questions about the Conference of Presidents’ activities. This gives Members the opportunity, outside plenary sittings, to exchange views with an invited guest or obtain prior information about Commission proposals.
