Hildegard Bentele

That is one of the most extensive declaration records in the entire Parliament - 3.8× the average member, and 10 of 185 within European People's Party.

78% 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: 5 declared meetings in Sep 2026, 57.1% of all counterpart entries carry a declared Register link. Peak: 39 in Nov 2025.

Busiest month: 39 declared in November 2025. Months with no declared meetings have no Register-share value.

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Hildegard Bentele 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.

Unlinked but matchable

31 counterpart entrys in Hildegard Bentele's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

• “European Copper Institute (International Copper Association Europe)” - likely International Copper Association Europe (3 counterpart entrys)
• “ASML Netherlands B.V. Procter & Gamble Siemens Energy AG Noble Elements” - likely ASML Netherlands B.V. (1 counterpart entry)
• “ActionAid” - likely ActionAid (1 counterpart entry)

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.
