The Czech Republic has a population of 10.3 million and an area of 78,866 km2. EU Member State from 1st May 2004. Has had a Europe agreement since 1995.

The Nice Summit in 2000 had offered the Czechs two fewer seats in the EU Parliament than Belgium and Portugal, although the Czech Republic has more inhabitants than either. The figures were heavily criticised by the EU Parliament. Subsequently, at the Copenhagen Summit in 2002, the number of Czech seats in the EU Parliament was increased by two.

The Czech Republic has 24 of 732 seats in the EU Parliament (22 after 2009) and 12 of 321 votes in the [W council_of_ministers] Council[/w].
