The black box: in the seat since this term began, on 16 July 2024 - and no lobby meeting on record at all: none this term, and none in the record back to 2016. It records an absence of declarations, not a finding of a rule breach. How the label is counted.
As of 6 November 2026, Michael Gahler (EPP, Germany) has no lobby meetings on record for the current term under Article 7 of the MEP Code of Conduct.
For comparison, 88 of Germany's 96 MEPs have declared at least one meeting this term, and the Parliament-wide average is 100 per member.
Michael Gahler sits on the Foreign Affairs committee, where declaration duties apply to rapporteurs and shadow rapporteurs in particular.

Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Michael Gahler 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

With and against the group
On the 567 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Michael Gahler 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.
