Verena Mertens

Compared with the averages

Transparency this term

Monthly declared meetings (bars) and the share of all counterpart entries carrying a declared Register link, including diplomatic and government entries (line), July 2024 to November 2026. This is the same current-term window as the figures above, beginning 16 July 2024.

Current month, partial through 6 Nov 2026: 0 declared meetings in Nov 2026. Peak: 6 in Nov 2024.

Busiest month: 6 declared in November 2024. Months with no declared meetings have no Register-share value; a dashed stretch of the line joins the months either side.

Who Verena Mertens meets most

Counterparts are merged by resolved Transparency Register identity where possible. An entry counts as register-linked above only when the MEP declaration itself carries a Register link.

Where the meetings cluster

Both lists count this term. Sector pages count the full 2016–2026 record, and committee pages show each member's current-term total across all subjects, so their figures for this member can be higher.

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Verena Mertens 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.

Final texts where Verena Mertens differed from the EPP majority

Unlinked but matchable

13 counterpart entries in Verena Mertens's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

• “AECAC (Association Européenne du Commerce des Armes Civiles)” - likely Association Européenne de Commerce d'Armes Civiles (1 counterpart entry)
• “Athena Forum” - likely Athena Forum (1 counterpart entry)
• “BSA | The Software Alliance” - likely Business Software Alliance (1 counterpart entry)

These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 3 of the 13 entries; the other 10 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.
