To set the context for the more technical argumentative analysis, the Common Statute for the Members of the European Parliament will be introduced with its historical background. In the following methodology section, the Toulmin model of argumentation will be explained briefly. The main part consists of an argumentative analysis of “The Recommendation of the Group of Eminent Persons”, the most important document in the context of the Common Statute. The arguments will be reconstructed and evaluated separately. The paper concludes with a resume and critical evaluation of the findings.
