Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Tonino Picula 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
On the 581 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and Tonino Picula 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.

Unlinked but matchable
6 counterpart entries in Tonino Picula's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “European Centre for Press and Media Freedom” - likely European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (2 counterpart entries)
- “Belgrade Centre for Security Policy Centre for Contemporary Politics National Convention on the EU, Serbia” - likely Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (1 counterpart entry)
- “Center of Excellence in Finance” - likely Center of Excellence in Finance (1 counterpart entry)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 4 of the 6 entries; the other 2 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.
