Notes

  1. [N 1]
    Following the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon by France on 14 February 2008, and entering into application on 1 December 2009 (after the last instruments were deposited by Italy, too late for the 2009 European elections), 2 additional seats were assigned to France and were finally appointed by the French Parliament in 2011.
  2. [N 2]
    The 2 additional seats for the elections in 2014, previously appointed by the French Parliament, were finally assigned to the Île-de-France constituency as it was enlarged in 2014 to include also the votes for French citizens living abroad (and not registered for the European elections in another member state of the European Union).
