Well, if the French National Assembly were to name their two extra MEPs before their summer recess (July 15 or so) and if the Belgian French-Speaking parliaments (there's two of them) could get their thumbs out of their arses we could be full MEPs by September 2011. Since French-speakers are inherently against European democracy (apparently) and the President of the EP does not speak up on our behalf I fear the President of the EP is correct - we shall not be able to take our seats until November or December 2011 at the soonest.
It's a shame really. The President of the EP Mr Buzek could easily make it happen sooner :)
