Who are the winners and losers of the European Parliament’s reshuffle?

The mid-term reshuffle of the key positions in the European Parliament in January 2017 was more than just switching individual MEPs from one position to another: it also resulted in significant gains and losses of influence among some national delegations.

The reshuffle entailed the elections of the new members of the EP bureau, the chairs and vice-chairs of the committees and the political coordinators of the groups (in each of the parliamentary committees).

This report provides a full mapping of the outcome of EP mid-term reshuffle and measures the influence gained and lost by the political players in the EP.
