The analysis presents valuable information on legislative activity, cosponsorship patterns, and legislative impact of MEPs, EP Groups and EP Committees. In this report we apply novel and rigorous methodological techniques including social network analysis, statistical modelling, and data visualisation.
This report serves multiple purposes. First, it gives all EU citizens an overview on the legislative activities of MEPs they voted for in May 2019. Second, our report helps lobbyist and public affairs companies improve their lobbying and communication strategies by identifying key MEPs in a certain EP Group or policy area. Third, it gives MEPs, national delegations, and EP Groups new avenues to enhance their legislative influence by analysing their legislative performance as well as the performance of their political opponents. In this report, we present the legislative activities of individual MEPs, EP Groups, EP Committees, and Member States. Also, we highlight the activities of party coordinators and national delegations. We present three types of rankings: the activity ranking consists of the most active MEPs, the connectivity ranking highlights the most embedded MEPs, and the heterogeneity ranking reveals the ideological spectrum one MEP can cover while working with fellow MEPs. We present the TOP 50 MEPs in each category, as well as the TOP 5 MEPs in all Member States, EP Groups, and EP Committees.
