The sealing members are integrally molded with the circumference portions of the respective front and back surfaces of the membrane electrode assembly. In each sealing member of the gasket, two rows of sealing lips are continuously provided in parallel to each other in an in-plane manner, and at least an outer one of the two rows of sealing lips is integrally formed, having a top side bell-shaped portion overlaid on a bottom side bell-shaped portion.
