The EU–UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly has 70 members, 35 from the UK Parliament and 35 from the European Parliament. The devolved legislatures within the UK are each able to send two members to meetings of the UK-EU PPA to participate as observers.[2]
The chair of the UK and EP delegations assume the role of Chair-in-office of the EU-UK PPA on a rotational basis.
The chairs and vice-chairs of each delegation constitute the six member Bureau of the assembly.[3]
Two ordinary meetings of the EU-UK PPA are held annually with extraordinary meetings being able to be called if requested by one-third of each delegation. Meetings are hosted in turn by the European Parliament and the UK Parliament.[3]
