Join the Former Members Association (FMA) - "A LEGACY OF EXPERIENCES - to continue building the EU"

The Association is a dedicated forum and network for former MEPs to keep in touch with each other and with current MEPs through seminars, visits and social events, to facilitate individual contributions to educational activities such as the EP to Campus Programme, and to keep former MEPs up to date on current EU affairs.

The Association is to preserve the experience of former MEPs and to reinvest it in programmes and activities aimed at strengthening parliamentarianism and helping to raise awareness of the enhanced role of the European Parliament.

We also provide practical information about MEPs’ entitlements after leaving the Parliament.

We invite Ex-Members of the European Parliament to join the FMA and become part of our growing Association by filling in the registration form that you can find below in English, French and German. All EU official languages will shortly be available:
