The EU–UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly (EU-UK PPA) is an inter-parliamentary institution established by the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) to bring together members from the Parliament of the United Kingdom and the European Parliament.[1] The assembly aims to be a forum for parliamentarians to exchange views on the implementation and operation of the TCA.

Membership

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]

Chair-in-office

The chair of the UK and EP delegations assume the role of Chair-in-office of the EU-UK PPA on a rotational basis.

Bureau

The chairs and vice-chairs of each delegation constitute the six member Bureau of the assembly.[3]

Meetings

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]
