Dirk Gotink

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: 7 declared meetings in Nov 2026, 87.5% 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; a dashed stretch of the line joins the months either side.

Who Dirk Gotink 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

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Dirk Gotink 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.

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

Unlinked but matchable

46 counterpart entries 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 entries)
• “DUFAS” - likely Dutch Fund and Asset Management Association (3 counterpart entries)
• “Maritime & Offshore NL” - likely Maritime & Offshore NL (2 counterpart entries)

These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 9 of the 46 entries; the other 37 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.
