Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Coalición por Europa (SP): 2 seats (*by approximation from CiU and PNV)

CiU is itself a coalition. The main party, Convergencia, caucuses with ALDE. They replaced a well-respected MEP, Ignasi Guardans (see my diary Airports and Secret Legislation) because he wasn't nationalist enough, with Ramon Tremosa, an economist.

PNV is Christian Democrat and Basque Nationalist. The PP blocked their bid to join the EPP so they joined Bayrou's the European Democratic Party and they caucus with ALDE as well.

The brainless should not be in banking. — Willem Buiter
