Introduction All the delegations have the1 same structure: they have one chair and two vice-chairs, who are elected by the delegation's members. All delegation members are nominated by Parliament's political groups, with the composition of each delegation reflecting Parliament's overall political balance. Every single MEP is a member of a standing delegation. Some belong to more than one. The largest delegations are usually those that participate in parliamentary assemblies, where several parliaments convene. For example, there are 78 MEPs in the European Parliament's delegation to the semi-annual forum that brings together all the parliaments of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States. Such a large delegation is unusual, however. Most of Parliament's delegations comprise 20 members or fewer. The smallest have just 8 members. The topicality of the investigation: the delegations must follow strict rules that are laid out in a number of documents and decisions. Two rules in Parliament's official Rules of Procedure focus on delegations. In addition, many of the rules for committees also apply to delegations. The European Parliament's most recent decision on the number of delegations also spelled out some procedures. The ways in which committees and delegations should coordinate their work, including when travelling, are set out in detail. The most extensive rules for delegations are contained in an official document called the 'Implementing provisions governing the work of delegations and missions outside the European Union'. This text lays out the general aim of Parliament's delegations: 'maintaining and enhancing contacts with parliaments of States that are traditionally partners of the European Union and [...] promoting [...] the values on which the European Union is founded.' The provisions also describe how Parliament's delegations should uphold Parliament's positions and standards. The aim of the investigation: Development of scientific and methodological recommendations on foreign delegations and their reception, follow-up stages. The tasks of the investigation: the process of acquainting foreign delegations with the stages of their reception and observation Course Objectives: Introduction to foreign delegations and the stages of their reception and observation The theoretical and practical importance of the investigation: the ideas, approaches and effectiveness of the course work will be used in the preparation of reports on pedagogical disciplines, the creation of manuals, as well as the creation of methodological recommendations, the dissemination of work experience. The structure of the investigation: introduction to the work, chapter 2, section 4, general conclusions and recommendations, a list of references.
