The full record is in the official EP declarations.
Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while François Kalfon 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 545 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and François Kalfon 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 François Kalfon differed from the S&D majority
16 further instances are not listed. All roll-call votes.
Unlinked but matchable
54 counterpart entries in François Kalfon's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Alliance NewSpace France” - likely Alliance NewSpace France (2 counterpart entries)
- “Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs” - likely Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs (2 counterpart entries)
- “FEDERATION DES ENTREPRISES DE LA BEAUTE” - likely FEDERATION DES ENTREPRISES DE LA BEAUTE (2 counterpart entries)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 6 of the 54 entries; the other 48 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.
