  1994 European Parliament Elections
In party political terms, the general picture emerging in the elections of June 1994 is one of consolidation of the Party of European Socialists (PES) as the largest group in the Parliament leading the left, and of fragmentation of the right and center-right.
The same left parties, notably communists, former communists or other left parties, held their own, and in the new European Parliament formed a single political group called the "Confederal United European Left" with 28 members of the former "Left Coalition" (largely orthodox communists) and of other reformist left parties.
However, the seats won by outright opponents of European integration is the same as before and has therefore fallen as a proportion of the larger Parliament.

  European Parliament Summary
The debating chamber, the 'hemicycle' of the European Parliament in Brussels.
Although Brussels is generally treated as the 'capital' of the European Union, and the two institutions of the EU's executive, the European Commission and the Council of Ministers, both have their seats there, a protocol attached to the Treaty of Amsterdam requires that the European Parliament have monthly sessions in Strasbourg.
Thus the European Parliament is sometimes informally referred to as the 'Strasbourg Parliament' and Strasbourg as the democratic (opposed to bureaucratic) capital of Europe.

The federations may also be concerned with European co-operation that goes wider than the EU itself; for instance, they may be important sites for co-operation between the political parties of Western Europe and those in the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe.
While they have disappointed as electoral links, the Party Federations have, however slowly adapted to the distribution of political power in the EU by organizing themselves around one of the main sources of agenda setting and political legitimacy - the six monthly meetings of the European Council.
