The Members elected by the Social Democratic Party (SDP), although they consider that this is not a perfect solution and that it fails to impose a requirement for further negotiations in the context of future enlargements, support Mr Lamassoure’s report on the composition of the European Parliament for three reasons:
1. Some Member States do not agree with simply defining the general principles and require, as a condition of approval, the strict definition of the EP’s composition before they will accept the Reform Treaty. This could compromise the main priority of the Portuguese Presidency of the Council.
2. Mr Lamassoure has proposed a balanced compromise solution, which provides for a minimum limit guaranteeing the plurality of the representation of the smaller states and which takes account of the demographic size of the other states through a principle of degressive proportionality, ensuring a fair relationship between the states.
3. It therefore blocks the unacceptable attempts of the German, Polish, Spanish and Italian Members to reinforce the weight of the more populous states by reducing the representation of the medium-sized states such as Portugal."@en1
