The Chamber of Deputies conducts its business on the basis of a programme and a calendar. The programme of business is set for a period of at least two months and agreed upon by the Conference of Group Chairpersons. It contains a list of the items that the Chamber intends to examine, with an indication of the order of priority and of the period in which they are expected to be entered in the agenda of the House. Parliament’s calendar is therefore determined on the basis of the approved programme.
