MEPs began the November plenary session of the European Parliament on 24 November 2014, following an opening address from Parliament President Martin Schulz.

After amendments were made to the week's agenda, the afternoon session continued with a debate on whether to force the newly-installed European Commission to resign, ahead of a vote on Thursday morning.

The so-called motion of censure on Jean-Claude Juncker's team was debated because 76 MEPs, mostly from UKIP and Italy's Five Star movement, have signed up to support it.

Mr Juncker has the support of the Parliament's largest groups, meaning that it is highly unlikely the motion will gain the required two-thirds support needed to make it effective.
