  • Estimating the vote distribution in the Council of the European Union
    Hosli, Madeleine O. ; Wolffenbuttel, R. F.
    Vote allocations in the Council of the European Union (EU) are a crucial issue, especially in view of the increased use of qualified majority votes (QMV) and forthcoming significant rounds of EU ... enlargement. This article studies the distribution of votes in the Council from the first enlargement of the European Community (EC) in 1973 through to the present. The article theoretically deduces a formula that explains vote allocation on the basis of population size. The relationship between population and weighted votes is expressed by an exponential function. The article also illustrates to what extent the new formula agreed on at the Nice EU Summit deviates from the earlier one, by estimating changes in the relevant parameters.
