Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Thomas Geisel 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.
How they voted on final texts
Share of the 606 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
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
7 counterpart entries in Thomas Geisel's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Gas Distributors for Sustainability Position” - likely Gas Distributors for Sustainability (1 counterpart entry)
- “Philip Morris GmbH” - likely Philip Morris International Inc. (1 counterpart entry)
- “Power2X B.V.” - likely Power2X B.V. (1 counterpart entry)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 3 of the 7 entries; the other 4 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.
