Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Vivien Costanzo 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 582 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and Vivien Costanzo 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.
Final texts where Vivien Costanzo differed from the S&D majority
4 further instances are not listed. All roll-call votes.
Unlinked but matchable
39 counterpart entries in Vivien Costanzo's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA)” - likely European Association Automotive Suppliers (2 counterpart entries)
- “APRA” - likely Association of Passenger Rights Advocates (1 counterpart entry)
- “Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club e.V. (ADAC)” - likely Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club e.V. (1 counterpart entry)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 4 of the 39 entries; the other 35 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.
