In November 2009 Parliament adopted a report on the status of the new Members, which confirmed that the new, additional Members would take office after the Lisbon Treaty had entered into force and after a special additional protocol increasing the number of Members had been ratified by all the Member States.
2009. gada novembrī Eiropas Parlaments sagatavoja ziņojumu par jauno deputātu statusu, nosakot, ka jaunie papildu deputāti saņems mandātus pēc Lisabonas līguma stāšanās spēkā un pēc tam, kad visas dalībvalstis būs ratificējušas papildu protokolu par deputātu skaita palielinājumu.
