BrusselsReport.eu Ranking of Members of European Parliament

BrusselsReport.eu is happy to present the first edition of its Ranking of Members of European Parliament, which is set to be updated regularly.

The data analysis has been provided by VoteWatch Europe.

METHODOLOGY:

MEPs are being ranked according to the perspective of BrusselsReport.eu, which, as mentioned on our website, intends to be a platform offering an alternative to the dominant EU policy consensus, thereby criticizing:

  • Fiscal transfers
  • A top-down policy approach
  • Loose monetary policies
  • Protectionism
  • Excessive or ill-guided regulation

Instead supporting:

  • Decentralisation
  • Hard money
  • Fiscal and regulatory competition
  • Low taxes
  • Free trade
  • Respect for the rule of law

In particular, the ranking covers how MEPs have voted when it comes to:

  • financial transparency (2 votes)
  • financial accountability (9 votes)
  • subsidiarity (4 votes)
  • civil liberties (1 vote)
  • free market economics (2 votes)

It is important to note that to vote against a certain proposal on the mere basis of the ideological background of the MEP that submitted the proposal, is not being considered as a valid excuse. Proposals need to be judged on their merits.

This ranking also only ranks MEPs on how they have voted on the selected votes and not on their ideology otherwise, let alone other factors (like personal behaviour).

For each vote, MEPs received:

+1 point for voting in line with the Brussels Report perspective

-1 point for voting in the opposite direction

0 points for abstention or not taking part in the vote

When the score of MEPs is a draw, MEPs are ranked on the basis of how high their participation to vote has been since the 2019 European Parliament elections.

The following 18 votes have been singled out, all of them from the April 2021 Plenary session of the European Parliament:

I. Financial transparency (2 votes)

VOTE NR 1 on an obligation for MEPs to disclose how they use their monthly “expenditure allowance” of more than 4400 euro which they receive on top of their salaries

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – European Parliament Amendment 45/2

A majority of 355 MEPs voted to support a proposal to require MEPs to prove they are using their monthly expenditure allowance for actual office expenditure and that they are not merely pocketing the money, which amounts to more than 4400 euro per month, on top of their monthly salaries of over 8,000 euro. The issue has become the symbol of how the European Parliament, which is supposed to serve as a watchdog for the EU machinery, struggles to get its own house in order.

Transparency International has noted that along with the secretarial allowance, used by MEPs to pay their staff, amounting to €24,164 monthly per MEP, “this EU budget line has repeatedly been the subject of fraud and misuse by MEPs.”

 

This is the text MEPs adopted:

  1. Highlights the fact that the 2018 Bureau decision on the general expenditure allowance stipulates that the Bureau will maintain this decision until the end of 2022 and will evaluate it on the basis of the experience gained during the 9th parliamentary term; regrets that the bureau continues to ignore the plenary’s will expressed on numerous occasions1a to further reform the general expenditure allowance, thereby actively preventing Members’ expenses of Union taxpayers’ money from becoming more transparent and accountable; urges the bureau to immediately implement the Plenary’s decisions from the 2017 and 2018 Parliament’s discharge reports introducing changes to the rules governing the general expenditure allowance; stresses that any new voluntary and/or optional measures for greater transparency and financial accountability should not create unnecessary bureaucracy for Members and their offices; _________________ 1a Discharge 2017: General budget of the EU – European Parliament, March 26th, 2019; Discharge 2018: General budget of the EU – European Parliament, May 14th, 2020.

A majority of MEPs thereby voted to change this original text:

  1. Highlights the fact that the 2018 Bureau decision on the general expenditure allowance stipulates that the Bureau will maintain this decision until the end of 2022 and will evaluate it on the basis of the experience gained during the 9th parliamentary term; stresses that any new voluntary and/or optional measures for greater transparency and financial accountability should not create unnecessary bureaucracy for Members and their offices.

Still, a minority of 250 MEPs however voted against requiring them to prove they are using the expenditure allowance for expenditures, while 93 abstained.

VOTE NR 2 on supporting transparency on the financing of the “Conference on the future of the Union”

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – European Parliament Amendment 5

A majority of MEPs voted to reject transparency on the financing of the “Conference on the future of the Union”

This is the text a majority of 360 MEPs rejected. Only 329 supported the proposals, with 10 abstaining:

51 a. Notes the setting up of the Conference on the future of the Union; calls for clarification as soon as possible of the conditions for financing this conference and the consequences for the institution’s budget; calls for a commitment to full transparency on the expenditure of this conference, including the keeping of separate accounts and an audit report by the European Court of Auditors for each year of functioning.

II. Financial accountability (9 votes)

VOTE NR 3 on pledging to refuse to approve (“grant discharge to”) EU spending in case EU state aid rules are violated in the context of spending funds from the EU recovery fund

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – Commission and executive agencies Amendment 2

This is the original text:

  1. Recalls the increasing gap between commitments and payments and the increase in the size of the Union budget (the Court’s rapid case review, ‘Outstanding commitments – a closer look’) which poses a serious challenge for the discharge authority too; notes that the long-term EU budget increased from 1.083 to 1.800 billion Euro for 2021-2027, including the EU Recovery plan Next GenerationEU; calls on the Commission to monitor the implementation of the national recovery and resilience plans at regular intervals to ensure that the state aid rules are fulfilled and report to the discharge authority; stresses that a failure of this request could lead to a refusal of the Discharge procedure in 2020;

This is how a majority of MEPs changed it, thereby scrapping “stresses that a failure of this request could lead to a refusal of the Discharge procedure in 2020”:

“Recalls the increasing gap between commitments and payments and the increase in the size of the Union budget (the Court’s rapid case review, ‘Outstanding commitments – a closer look’) which poses a serious challenge for the discharge authority too; notes that the long-term EU budget increased from 1.083 to 1.800 billion Euro for 2021-2027, including the EU Recovery plan Next GenerationEU; calls on the Commission to monitor the implementation of the national recovery and resilience plans at regular intervals to ensure that the state aid rules are fulfilled and report to the discharge authority;”

VOTE NR 4 on whether to reduce EU agricultural subsidies in a rather modest way

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – Commission and executive agencies Paragraph 341

The EU’s biggest spending area is still agriculture. A part of that spending, around 300 billion euro in the previous EU budget period, goes to “market related expenditure and direct payments”, whereby the link between subsidies and production of specific crops has largely been removed, in effect causing people and corporates to receive EU taxpayers money mainly  for owning agricultural land. A very first step to tackling the EU’s misguided agricultural policies is of course to reduce these payments.

This is the proposal that a large majority of MEPs supported. Still, a number of MEPs rejected this:

  1. Insists that larger farm incomes do not necessarily need the same degree of support for stabilising farm incomes as smaller farms in times of crisis in income volatility since they may benefit from potential economies of scale, which are likely to be resilient; believes that the Commission should take steps to ensure that CAP funds are distributed in a weighted manner, such that the payments per hectare are on a reducing scale relative to the size of the holding/farm[85];

VOTE NR 5 on scrapping a pledge to prevent EU funds supporting incitement to terrorism and anti-semitic hatred

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – Commission and executive agencies Amendment 43D= 73D=

An amendment proposed to scrap this text. A majority of MEPs rejected the amendment, but many still supported it.

  1. Is concerned about the hate speech and violence taught in Palestinian school textbooks and used in schools by UNRWA in in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem; is concerned about the effectiveness of UNRWA’s mechanisms of adherence to UN values in educational materials used and taught by UNRWA staff in its schools, which contain hate speech and incitement to violence; insists that UNRWA acts in full transparency and publishes in an open-source platform all its educational materials for teachers and students, as well as its reviews of host country textbooks used to ensure that content adheres to UN values and does not encourage hatred; requests that all school material, which is not in compliance with these standards be removed immediately; insists that the earmarking of EU funding such as PEGASE for salaries paid to teachers and public servants in the education sector must be made conditional on educational material and course content complying with UNESCO standards of peace, tolerance, coexistence, and non-violence, as was decided upon by Union education ministers in Paris on 17 March 2015;

VOTE NR 6 on allowing the European Court of Auditors to audit all operations by the European Investment Bank

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – Commission and executive agencies Paragraph 482/1

A majority of MEPs voted to support the following proposal:

  1. Considering that the EIB, a major player in the implementation of Union external policies, with 10 % of its loans outside the Union, plans to strengthen its development role by creating a dedicated agency for this purpose and may become the main entity in charge of development policies in the new financial architecture framework of the Union, reiterates the longstanding demands of the Parliament that the Court be empowered to audit all EIB operations, and that these audits be carried out;

VOTE NR 7 on approving EU 2019 spending

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – Commission and executive agencies vote: resolution

A majority of MEPs voted to approve (or “grant discharge to”) EU 2019 spending. This despite the fact that the EU’s own auditing body, the European Court of Auditors, did “conclude that payments were affected by too many errors, mainly in the category classified as ‘high risk expenditure’”. It did say EU accounts were giving “a true and fair view” of the EU’s financial position.

For years, the European Court of Auditors, has been issuing very critical assessments of EU spending, even if the situation has improved in recent years.

There’s also the issue of the EU’s “debt” or “reste à liquider”: Even if the EU is not legally allowed to go into debt, it has built up a mountain of “unpaid bills”, amounting to almost twice the EU’s annual budget. Since 2011, this has increased with 36 percent and the European Commission expects it to rise further, to 313 billion euro in 2023, something the European Court of Auditors has also warned about.

Furthermore, severe weaknesses persist in the way the EU budget is spent, when it comes to EU agricultural, regional or administrative spending, with concerns of these funds propping up organized crime, oligarchs and vested interests, something which for example in Bulgaria led to mass protests and a big election defeat of the incumbent government. The European Commission resists making its “spending reviews” public whereby it looks at the efficiency of every spending programme, despite this being requested by the likes of the Dutch government.

Despite all of this, a majority of MEPs happily sign off EU spending without asking many questions.

VOTE NR 8 on examining EU spending the year after EU funds are spent and not two years after, to strengthen scrutiny

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – European Parliament Amendment 1

A majority of MEPs rejected the following proposal to examine EU spending the year after EU funds are spent and not two years after, to strengthen scrutiny:

“1 a. Notes with concern that the European institutions are once again failing to have a budgetary discharge in the year following the year under review; stresses that the current procedure of examining the accounts two years later is contrary to transparency and sound management of public money; is concerned that, as a result, the recommendations made to correct the errors and malfunctions detected for the year N will only be implemented during year N+2”

VOTE NR 9 on whether taxpayers should pay for the European Parliament’s secretive second pension fund in case it suffers investment losses

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – European Parliament Amendment 17D https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-9-2021-0044-AM-009-018_EN.docx

The European Parliament’s second pension fund is no longer open to MEPs that were not already an MEP before 2009, but the controversial scheme, which has been established in Luxembourg, so to guarantee secrecy, continues to pay out to mostly former MEPs and their family members. In case the investment fund suffers losses, it is currently foreseen that taxpayers need to pay for these losses, as a guaranteed return has been promised.

More about the scheme can be read here.

MEPs were asked to vote on whether to scrap the following proposal. Therefore, MEPs that voted to support this think that taxpayers should pay for the European Parliament’s secretive second pension fund in case it suffers investment losses:

  1. Recalls that for all beneficiaries of the voluntary pension fund the benefits represent an additional rather than sole source of income; underlines that due to a low-interest-rate environment, the amount of defined benefit schemes has radically declined across the Union; objects to sheltering former Members from this dynamic; rejects any situation in which the actuarial deficit of the fund leads to any form of bail-out with taxpayer money;

Finnish EPP MEP Petri Sarvamaa is the one whoproposed to scrap this rather sensible proposal. A majority of MEPs agreed with his stance that taxpayers should remain liable for a secretive second pension scheme that probably few taxpayers would be happy about.

VOTE NR 10 on the environmental impact of the European Parliament’s recurrent relocation to Strasbourg

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – European Parliament Paragraph 164

This vote on whether to support the European Parliament’s “traveling circus” between Brussels and Strasbourg, should perhaps be classified as “environmental” rather than “financial” accountability, but it also comes at a big cost to taxpayers. The troubling practice will resume in June and even if MEPs are not legally able to change it, they can at least express their disapproval at times.

Nevertheless, still 133 MEPs voted against and 58 abstained on an amendment which “notes the environmental impact of Parliament’s recurrent relocation to Strasbourg”.

VOTE NR 11 on whether to approve 2019 spending by the European Economic and Social Committee

Reference: 2019 Discharge: EU general budget – European Economic and Social Committee resolution

The European Economic and Social Committee is a taxpayer funded gathering of interest groups that also dispose of their own lobby entities to influence the EU institutions and whose reports are exerting only minimal influence on the EU decision making process. A recent scandal revealed how the so-called “140 million euro costing zombie committee” had been proposing to hand its delegates 200 euro for attending their virtual meetings, as normally they would be handed almost 300 euro for physically attending summits in Brussels, to pay for hotels and restaurant bills.

This demand was rejected by EU member states, but it should warrant more scrutiny of how this EU body deals with the scarce resources contributed to EU taxpayers. Instead, a majority of MEPs simply rubber stamped its 2019 spending.

III. Subsidiarity (4 votes):

VOTE NR 12 on whether Brexit should inspire subsidiarity reform of the EU

Reference: The outcome of EU-UK negotiations Amendment 5

MEPs were asked to vote on this:

“Considers that the UK’s withdrawal could inspire a reform of the EU, towards greater respect for the sovereign interests of the Member States;”

A majority voted against this.

VOTE NR 13 on immediate EU action to agree an EU digital services tax regardless of the progress at the global level

Reference: Digital taxation: OECD negotiations, tax residency of digital companies and a possible European Digital Tax vote: resolution (as a whole) https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-9-2021-0103_EN.html

A majority of MEPs voted to support “immediate EU action” to agree an “EU digital services tax”, backing a resolution outlining that “regardless of the progress of the negotiations in the G20/OECD IF, the EU should have a fall-back position and stand ready to roll out its own proposal for taxing the digital economy by the end of 2021”.

Apart from the fact that taxing digital services is not exactly the right incentive to support digital innovation, something where the EU is lagging its competitors, also since the introduction of burdensome GDPR regulations, dictating the kind of taxes that should be in force in EU member states is a clear violation of the principle of subsidiarity and flies against the perspective of BrusselsReport.eu that the EU should be focusing on its core business, which is to scrap barriers to trade.

VOTE NR 14 on EU spending on “reducing the digital divide”

Reference: European Child Guarantee Paragraph 16/2

With this vote, a majority of MEPs are supporting “calls for a public-private partnership at pan-European level for investing in reducing the digital divide and empowering children through digital and entrepreneurial skills”

While “reducing the digital divide” is obviously a laudable aim, using the EU budget for this is a violation of the subsidiarity principle, given that there is no relationship with the EU’s core business to open up trade.

VOTE NR 15 on EU spending on “technological upgrading and comprehensive digital training”

Reference: European Child Guarantee Paragraph 16/3

With this vote, a majority of the the European Parliament “stresses the importance of equal access to digital infrastructure and skills for children, teachers and parents alike, in both urban and rural settings, in order to avoid a digital divide, as well for children in remote and outlying regions; calls on the Commission and the Member States to provide financial support to areas in need of technological upgrading and comprehensive digital training for both teachers and students, in order to enable them to adapt to new technologies;”

While everyone should be in favour of “technological upgrading and comprehensive digital training”, using the EU budget for this is a violation of the subsidiarity principle, certainly when it comes to education, given that there is no relationship with the EU’s core business to open up trade.

IV. Civil liberties (1 vote):

VOTE NR 16 on whether to oppose an EU “Vaccine Passport”

Reference: Digital Green Certificate – Union citizens Amendment 11

https://www.votewatch.eu/en/term9-digital-green-certificate-union-citizens-draft-legislative-resolution-rejection-amendment-11.html

With this vote, MEPs were asked to vote on an amendment rejecting the so-called “Digital Green Certificate”, also known as the “Vaccine Passport” for EU travel. Opponents, like the “Civil Liberties Union for Europe”, an EU-focused human rights watchdog, have pointed out that the scheme may “create a divide between citizens of different EU countries”, adding:

 “[There are] inevitably risks to travellers’ privacy if the vaccine certificate is in digital form. Governments won’t only have to ensure that they keep individuals’ data safe, but also that this is not shared or misused for other purposes. If the vaccination certificate is required for travel between countries, it means all 27 governments have to have interoperable systems with equally strong data protection systems. And the EU data protection chief already expressed scepticism about the feasibility of this.”

Furthermore, EU legal expert Ciarán McCollum has warned that the scheme may lead to “checks within the Schengen zone. It is article 3 of the DGC that creates certificates of vaccination, testing and immunity. Border guards will have to inspect these.”

On BrusselsReport.eu, Bill Wirtz has pointed out:

“It could become mandatory to present it when entering a grocery store, a concert venue, or a park…it is concerning that the EU vaccine passport exposes sensitive health information – concerning vaccination, test results and even medical information on being recovered from Covid – to hackers, domestic and from foreign governments…It very much looks like this may become a long-term measure, whereby an increasing amount of personal information is being gathered under the pretext of public health and security.”

This is what amendment 11, submitted by MEPs opposing the scheme, argued:

“The proposed regulation infringes on fundamental human rights, including freedom of movement, respect of private life, protection of personal data and equality before the law. It also results in discrimination against those who have not had the opportunity or do not wish to be vaccinated or to be tested. Moreover, it does not guarantee data privacy protection. Sharing of personal and medical data should never be compulsory and storing of this confidential information is not necessary. Furthermore, it will most likely be used for other purposes besides restricting the freedom of movement and it poses a risk to become permanent since it will be applicable to any variant of SARS-CoV-2 and similar infectious diseases with epidemic potential. The Commission has also not conducted an impact assessment. The regulation has such far-reaching implications for fundamental rights, that an impact assessment cannot be omitted in light of an urgency. Finally, this regulation is not necessary to ensure the freedom of movement. Presenting the results of a negative PCR-test before cross border travel is sufficient. The proposed regulation should therefore be rejected in its entirety.”

Nevertheless, the European Parliament vote to simply go along with the EU’s “vaccine passport”, as 591 MEPs rejected this amendment critical of this “Digital Green Certificate”, with only 86 MEPs supporting it and 16 abstaining.

V. Free market economics (2 votes)

VOTES NR 17 and NR 18 on whether to scrap Covid vaccine patents retroactively

With vote nr. 17, MEPs were asked to vote on the following amendment, proposing to scrap Covid vaccine patents:

“The Union should support the India and South Africa WTO initiative for a temporary waiver of intellectual property rights with regard to COVID-19 vaccines and treatments and the pharmaceutical companies should share their knowledge and data through the WHO’s COVID-19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP).” (Reference: Digital Green Certificate – Union citizens Amendment 20rev)

With vote nr 18, they were asked whether they “deplore the repeated refusal of EU Member States to accept the proposals being put forward by India, South Africa and others at the WTO calling for the waiving of monopolies for COVID-19 medical tools considering the current state of emergency, which is one of the criteria for the waiving of patents under existing WTO rules” (Reference: EU-India relations Amendment 11)

Because of the importance of this issue, 2 votes relating to this matter have been selected to rank MEPs. Thankfully, when it comes to vote nr. 17, a majority of 454 MEPs voted to reject this attack on the market system, but still 162 supported it. Despite the fact that pharma companies managed to come up with life-saving Covid vaccines at a speed that few had assumed possible, they are now threatened with retroactive expropriation of their innovation, which is also of gigantic economic importance. The argument that taxpayers resources have been used to develop these vaccines does not hold water, as the research necessary to develop has been conducted over decades and not since governments have been financially supporting pharma innovators to come up Covid vaccines.

Not only may undermining vaccines threaten both innovation and the EU’s economy, as 82% of all EU exports is generated by sectors dependent on intellectual property, it is not likely to have much of an effect on actually boosting vaccine production, given how complex it is to produce these new vaccines. Apart from the importance to preserve future innovation, this is yet more evidence how vital the importance of cooperation with private industry really is.

Analysis:

By Pieter Cleppe, editor of BrusselsReport.eu

The relatively low weight to free market economics, with only 2 out of 18 votes, cannot serve as an excuse for the fact that many S&D MEPs have ended up quite low on this ranking.

The equally relative low weight to subsidiarity, with only 4 out of 18 votes, can also not serve as an excuse for the fact that many Renew MEPs (which tend to ideologically support more power for the EU level) perform rather poorly as well.

11 out of 18 votes relate to either financial transparency (2) or financial accountability (9), which are matters that every MEP should support. The top spots of this ranking are all composed of eurosceptics from various backgrounds. Those with a more “federalist” vision of the EU should make an effort to be as critical as their eurosceptic colleagues when it comes to voting on financial transparency and financial accountability topics.

In an ideal world, the European Parliament should serve as a check on the EU machine. This ranking reveals that we are a long way off from that.
