The sloppy: 7 of the 17 entries in which Udo Bullmann names an organisation listed in the EU Transparency Register leave out its Register ID - 41%, against 15% across the Parliament. The “Unlinked but matchable” list further down has 20 unlinked entries: these 7, and 13 more whose match is looser or that the label does not count. How the label is counted.

Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Udo Bullmann 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 542 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and Udo Bullmann 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
20 counterpart entries in Udo Bullmann's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “FEPS” - likely Foundation for European Progressive Studies (3 counterpart entries)
- “Association for Progressive Communications and Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung” - likely Association for Progressive Communications (1 counterpart entry)
- “Civil Society Organisations Concord, Voice, EPLO” - likely Civil Society Europe (1 counterpart entry)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 5 of the 20 entries; the other 15 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.
