The full record is in the official EP declarations.
Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Sérgio Gonçalves 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 520 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and Sérgio Gonçalves 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 Sérgio Gonçalves differed from the S&D majority

Unlinked but matchable
9 counterpart entrys in Sérgio Gonçalves's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “ART Fusion” - likely ART Fusion (1 counterpart entry)
- “Conselho Consultivo para as Regiões Ultraperiféricas” - likely Conselho Consultivo para as Regiões Ultrapérifericas (1 counterpart entry)
- “Fair Trade Advocacy Office (FTAO)” - likely Stichting Fair Trade Advocacy Office (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.
