Standard period would have been Thursday 6 and Sunday 9 June 2019, but the Council may - after consulting the European Parliament - determine another time period. Council proposes to hold the elections in the period from 23 to 26 May 2019. The decision on these new dates needs to be taken as soon as possible in order to give the Member States sufficient time to organise the elections and allow for the EP to prepare its calendar for 2019.

The MEPs heard from Mr Gianni Buquicchio, President of the Venice Commission, and Mr Thomas Markert and Ms Simona Granata-Menghini, Secretary General and Deputy Secretary General of the Venice Commission, respectively. The Venice Commission is an independent consultative body of the Council of Europe that provides legal advice to its member states on issues of constitutional law, including the functioning of democratic institutions, fundamental rights and constitutional justice. Many of these topics touch upon the work of the AFCO Committee, the recommendations and opinions of the Venice Commission are always welcomed and considered by AFCO in its work.
