Dirk Gotink

That is one of the fuller declaration sheets in the Parliament - 3.1× the average member, and 18 of 185 within European People's Party.

67% of this MEP's declared counterpart entries, including diplomatic and government entries, carry a declared EU Transparency Register link - above 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: 2 declared meetings in Sep 2026, 100% of all counterpart entries carry a declared Register link. Peak: 27 in Jun 2026.

Busiest month: 27 declared in June 2026. Months with no declared meetings have no Register-share value.

Who Dirk Gotink meets most

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Dirk Gotink 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 Dirk Gotink differed from the EPP majority

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

Unlinked but matchable

43 counterpart entrys in Dirk Gotink's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

• “BEUC” - likely Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs (4 counterpart entrys)
• “DUFAS” - likely Dutch Fund and Asset Management Association (2 counterpart entrys)
• “The European Digital Payments Industry Alliance” - likely The European Digital Payments Industry Alliance (2 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.
