The Treaty of Lisbon had not entered into force before the 2009 European elections, so the latter were held in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty of Nice, meaning that the European Parliament currently has 736 Members rather than 751.
Enne Euroopa Parlamendi 2009. aasta valimisi polnud Lissaboni leping veel jõustunud, nii et valimised toimusid vastavalt Nice'i lepingu sätetele, mis tähendab, et praegu on Euroopa Parlamendil 736, mitte 751 liiget.
