Bert-Jan Ruissen

That is one of the fuller declaration sheets in the Parliament - 2.4× the average member, and 4 of 81 within European Conservatives & Reformists.

20% of this MEP's declared counterpart entries, including diplomatic and government entries, carry a declared EU Transparency Register link - below the like-for-like raw Parliament-wide share of 51%.

Compared with the averages

Transparency this term

Monthly declared meetings (bars) and the share of all counterpart entries carrying a declared Register link, including diplomatic and government entries (line), July 2024 to September 2026. This is the same current-term window as the figures above, beginning 16 July 2024.

Current month, partial through 11 Sep 2026: 0 declared meetings in Sep 2026. Peak: 16 in Sep 2024.

Busiest month: 16 declared in September 2024. Months with no declared meetings have no Register-share value.

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Bert-Jan Ruissen held the seat, 537 of them the final vote on a text. A member with no vote recorded may have been on parliamentary business, ill, on leave, or present without voting - the published record does not distinguish these and gives no reason. Votes taken by show of hands or by secret ballot are not recorded by name and are absent here.

Final texts where Bert-Jan Ruissen differed from the ECR majority

86 further instances are not listed. All roll-call votes.

Unlinked but matchable

42 counterpart entrys in Bert-Jan Ruissen's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

• “ECLJ” - likely European Centre for Law and Justice (3 counterpart entrys)
• “EJA” - likely European Jewish Association (3 counterpart entrys)
• “FAFCE” - likely Federation of Catholic Family Associations in Europe (3 counterpart entrys)

Matching is automated and can be wrong - see how matching works. Linking the register entry is the fix, and it is the MEP office's to make.
