The EMPA, established in Naples on 3 December 2003 by decision of the Ministerial Conference of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, consists of a maximum of 260 members, of which 130 are Europeans (81 from the EU national parliaments and 49 from the European Parliament) and 130 are from the national parliaments of the EU's Mediterranean Partner Countries, so as to guarantee parity between the two components.

The working languages are English, French and Arabic. Texts adopted by the EMPA are also available in Hebrew, Turkish and all official languages of the European Union.
