Sirpa Pietikäinen took the seat on 1 December 2024, so the term-wide average of 85 meetings per MEP and the ranks below cover a longer period than this record does; they are not a like-for-like comparison.

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,143 roll-call votes while Sirpa Pietikäinen held the seat, 489 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

89 counterpart entrys in Sirpa Pietikäinen'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.
