Bert-Jan Ruissen

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 November 2026. This is the same current-term window as the figures above, beginning 16 July 2024.

Current month, partial through 6 Nov 2026: 0 declared meetings in Nov 2026. Peak: 16 in Sep 2024.

Busiest month: 16 declared in September 2024. Months with no declared meetings have no Register-share value; a dashed stretch of the line joins the months either side.

Who Bert-Jan Ruissen meets most

Counterparts are merged by resolved Transparency Register identity where possible. An entry counts as register-linked above only when the MEP declaration itself carries a Register link.

Where the meetings cluster

Both lists count this term. Sector pages count the full 2016–2026 record, and committee pages show each member's current-term total across all subjects, so their figures for this member can be higher.

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Bert-Jan Ruissen held the seat, 606 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

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

Unlinked but matchable

45 counterpart entries 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 entries)
• “EJA” - likely European Jewish Association (3 counterpart entries)
• “FAFCE” - likely Federation of Catholic Family Associations in Europe (3 counterpart entries)

These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 9 of the 45 entries; the other 36 are not listed.

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.
