Eluned Morgan, Welsh MEP since 1994, announced today her intention not to stand again in 2009.
BBC reports the following quote from her:
I have had the tremendous honour of representing Wales in the European Parliament at a time of rapid change and development. However, after fifteen years with a constantly punishing schedule in Brussels and Strasbourg, and the huge task of representing the whole of Wales in addition to the need to better balance work and family life, I believe that it is time to hand on this privileged post.

She was already selected to top Wales' Labour list at next year's Euro elections.
What will happen now? Will the other candidates be moved up one place in the ranking?
