Legal status of groups between  June and  July    hi Thank you for your edits to this article regarding INDDEM between  June provisional election results and  July constitutive session of the Seventh You need to understand the following   The  term the Seventh European Parliament starts at the constitutive session in Strasbourg on  July  thats why its called the constitutive session  The MEPs elected in the June elections do not become MEPs until that date  The MEPs immediately before the election are still the MEPs their terms do not expire until  July   That is why the Europarl website still gives UEN as having  MEPs I provide the link here so that you can check  Why do you need to know this  Because UEN did not collapse on  June  It did not collapse at that date because it still officially had  MEPs at that date  Ceteris paribus UEN would have collapsed on  July because at that point but not before it would officially have  MEPs   I hope this makes the status clear That is why Ive been at pains to insert the phrase de facto regarding group statuses during this transitional period they will not become de jure until  July  Regards
