What is MEPedia?
|
|
MEPedia is a resource for members of the public across Europe to find out basic information about selected MEPs, their financial and political interests, and their voting history and comments on issues related to transparency, accountability and conflicts of interest. We hope that these webpages will become a useful tool for European citizens to track the performance of their elected representatives in Brussels. At present this site is only available in English, but we hope, over time, to expand to include more languages, more profiles, and more issues.
