In my representative role as an MEP I meet with and attend events organised by a broad range of interest groups. Should I be personally unable to attend, one of my assistants may do so on my
behalf. This is a review of these appointments that my team and I have attended from January to March 2015. Committee, group and plenary meetings are excluded from this review of
appointments as are political party and staff meetings etc.
