DRAFT:
v.2.0
The results regarding rapporteurships are unclear to say the least (Tables 7 and 7a). There
does not appear to be any correlation between events at the national level, or changes in party
group membership at the EP level and the yearly distribution of rapporteurships. Italians received
their highest number of rapporteurships in 1995, 1996 and 2000, but these years are not
particularly significant otherwise.
There is no noticeable impact of the formal accession of the
PDS to the PES group in 1993, nor does the formal adhesion of the Forza Italia group in 1999
appear to have much impact, although this may account for the rise in 2000 when the Italian EPP
members receive four rapporteurships (Table 8). As is to be expected members of the two largest
groups receive the lion share of Italy’s rapporteurships (21 out of 35 or 60%). The greater
number allocated to members of the EPP, especially after 1994 (and the break-up of the DC) is
surprising, but on its own, not a substantial enough finding to allow us to draw any general
conclusions.
