Rule 29 − paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Where a group falls below the required threshold of thirty members, the President, with the agreement of the Conference of Presidents, may allow it to continue to exist until Parliament's next constitutive sitting, provided the following conditions are met: - the number of members of the group is greater than 25; - the members continue to represent at least one-fifth of the Member States; - the group has been in existence for a period longer than one year. The President shall not apply this derogation where there is sufficient evidence to suspect that it is being abused.
