The members of the delegation spend between 35 and 40 days per year working for the delegation. They meet four times a year for five days during the partial sessions of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. As far as the Swiss delegation is concerned, each of these sessions requires a 1-day preparatory meeting, which is held in Bern a week or two before the start of the session.
Each member of the delegation is also a member of at least one committee of the Parliamentary Assembly, which meets between 12 and 16 times a year, during the sessions in Strasbourg or between sessions, generally in Paris.
