Who Nikos Pappas meets most

Counterparts are merged by resolved Transparency Register identity where possible. An entry counts as register-linked above only when the MEP declaration itself carries a Register link.

Where the meetings cluster

Both lists count this term. Sector pages count the full 2016–2026 record, and committee pages show each member's current-term total across all subjects, so their figures for this member can be higher.

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Nikos Pappas 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.

Unlinked but matchable

3 counterpart entries in Nikos Pappas's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

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.
