Not shown. This needs a political group whose members took a clear majority position on a text, which is not available for every member - members sitting with no group are excluded, because there is no group line to compare against.

Unlinked but matchable

4 counterpart entries in Ondřej Dostál'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 4 entries; the other 1 is 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.
