The full record is in the official EP declarations.
Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Elio di Rupo 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 535 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and Elio di Rupo 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.
Final texts where Elio di Rupo differed from the S&D majority
16 further instances are not listed. All roll-call votes.
Unlinked but matchable
5 counterpart entries in Elio di Rupo's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “AESA” - likely Agriconsulting Europe SA (1 counterpart entry)
- “European Coordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine” - likely European Coordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine (1 counterpart entry)
- “FEB” - likely VERBOND VAN BELGISCHE ONDERNEMINGEN / FEDERATION DES ENTREPRISES DE BELGIQUE (1 counterpart entry)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 3 of the 5 entries; the other 2 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.
