Carola Rackete (The Left, Germany) was a Member of the European Parliament from 16 July 2024 to 15 September 2025. This site holds 83 declared lobby meetings from that time, up to 29 April 2025, where its record stops. (As of 27 October 2026.)

Carola Rackete left the Parliament on 15 September 2025. This page keeps the record of the time in the seat this term. It is not ranked or set against averages: those compare the 720 members seated now, over the whole term.

24% of Carola Rackete's declared counterpart entries from that time, including diplomatic and government entries, carry a declared EU Transparency Register link.

Meetings held after 29 April 2025 are not in this record: the older bulk feed this site's history comes from ends on that day, and the site's own reading of members' declarations began in mid-July 2026, after Carola Rackete had left.
