The full record is in the official EP declarations.
Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Christel Schaldemose 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.
How they voted on final texts
Share of the 606 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
On the 561 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and Christel Schaldemose also voted. Groups are not bound to vote together: a Member's mandate is personal and exercised freely, so neither figure is a measure of performance.

Unlinked but matchable
23 counterpart entries in Christel Schaldemose's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “BEUC” - likely Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs (6 counterpart entries)
- “TEK Norge” - likely TEK Norge (2 counterpart entries)
- “Zscaler” - likely Zscaler (2 counterpart entries)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 10 of the 23 entries; the other 13 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.
