I've updated the wiki page with the current status:
- indicating that, while 19:5 was applied for a 25 Member States UE (UE-25), now
that we are UE-27 and until June 2009, one fifth of Member States and
2'5 % of MEPs means 6 Member States and 20 MEPs
- indicating the rules for next term (2009-2014): 25 MEPs (3'33 %) from 7 different Member States (one fourth)
