Parliament decides its annual calendar of work on the basis of a proposal by the Conference of Presidents. The calendar is divided into plenary sittings (part-sessions) and meetings.
It comprises :
12 four-day part-sessions in Strasbourg and six additional two-day part-sessions in Brussels,
two weeks a month for meetings of parliamentary committees and interparliamentary delegations,
one week a month for political group meetings
and four weeks a year where MEPs concentrate exclusively on constituency work.
