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.
