The full record is in the official EP declarations.
Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Ingeborg ter Laak 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.
How they voted on final texts
Share of the 537 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
On the 530 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Ingeborg ter Laak 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 Ingeborg ter Laak differed from the EPP majority
2 further instances are not listed. All roll-call votes.
Unlinked but matchable
25 counterpart entrys in Ingeborg ter Laak's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “EurEau” - likely European Federation of National Associations of Water Services (2 counterpart entrys)
- “International Federation for Rights and Developments” - likely International Federation for Rights and Developments (2 counterpart entrys)
- “CBL” - likely Centraal Bureau Levensmiddelenhandel (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.
