Combined lists
Several parties combined in one list to take part in this European Election and increase their chance on a seat in the European Parliament. These combined lists are:
- Christian Union and SGP
Electoral alliances
Several parties formed an electoral alliance:[1]
- PvdA/European Social-Democrats and GreenLeft
- CDA/European People's Party and Christian Union-SGP
- VVD/European Liberal-Democrats and Democrats 66
The alliance between Christian Democratic Appeal and Christian Union-SGP cost the Christian Democratic Appeal a seat, which goes to Christian Union-SGP. Other alliances had no effect on the result.
Treaty of Nice
The exact number of seats allocated to each country is determined by the treaties, currently the Treaty of Nice, and is adjusted by the accession treaty of each new member. Hence no change to the seats occurs without ratification by all states. According to the treaties, the maximum number of members in the Parliament is 732. This why the seats for the Netherlands was reduced from 31 to 27

According to the European Commission, the publication of national results prior to Sunday evening is considered illegal. However, all the municipalities in the Netherlands published the results on Thursday, giving the media the opportunity to give an almost complete national result, only missing votes cast abroad. The complete and official result were publicised according to the rules.[2]
