Les prochaines élections du Parlement européen se sont tenues du 10 au 13 juin 2004. Conséquence de l'élargissement de l'Union européenne à 25 pays, 732 membres du Parlement européen ont été élus. Le principal enjeu sera la participation des électeurs. Pour avoir une vue d'ensemble sur les résultats des élections européennes 2004 (taux de participation, place de l'Europe dans les débats nationaux) et sur les défis qui attendent le nouveau Parlement (répartition des pouvoirs au sein de la nouvelle assemblée, etc.), voyez notre LinksDossiers sur le résultat des élections européennes.

Résumé

Since 1979, the European Parliament is directly elected every five years. This year, ten new countries will be sending members to the European Parliament. These countries already have had observers in the Parliament since 2003. The European Parliament now counts 624 members and 162 observers. After the elections, it will have 732 members.

Here is a table indicating the new distribution of seats per country after the elections (as defined by the Treaty of Accession), as well as links to current members and observers:

Enjeux

Power division in the next EP One of the main issues of these elections is the new power division in the European Parliament. Currently, the Christian Democrats-Conservative PPE-DE Group is the largest party, followed by the Socialist PSE and the Liberal ELDR. See the

Parliament's overview of seats per group . With the uncertainties of unprecendented European elections in the new Member States and possible shifting alliances in the traditional parliamentary groups (eg. UK Conservatives to stay in the EPP Group?), it is impossible to predict which party family will dominate the next parliament.

Voter turnout for the elections Since direct elections for the European Parliament started in 1979, the overall voter turnout has fallen steadily. The following table shows, by country, the turnout figures for each of the five elections since 1979:

Belgium (voting compulsory) 91.4 92.2 90.7 90.7 91.0
