Unlinked but matchable

13 counterpart entries in Nela Riehl's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 3 of the 13 entries; the other 10 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.
