Diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My regular income as a member of parliament has been \u20ac10,075.18 gross per month since 1.07.2023. I pay tax on this income as normal in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dazu kommen Sitzungsgelder in H\u00f6he von 350 \u20ac pro Tag, an dem ich im Parlament in Br\u00fcssel arbeite. Ich bekomme dieses Geld, um die zus\u00e4tzlichen Kosten f\u00fcr Unterkunft und Verpflegung w\u00e4hrend des Aufenthalts in Br\u00fcssel und Stra\u00dfburg zu bezahlen. Auch in Zeiten von Covid-19 hatten die Abgeordneten Zugriff auf die Sitzungsgelder, allerdings wurden diese Gelder in deutlich geringerem Umfang abgerufen, weil die meisten MdEPs in der Pandemie selten in Br\u00fcssel waren. Manchmal werden mir Honorare f\u00fcr Vortr\u00e4ge angeboten, die ich in der Regel ablehne. Falls ich sie annehme, spende ich diese Nebeneink\u00fcnfte. Ich spende im Jahr ca. 20 000 \u20ac an gemeinn\u00fctzige Zwecke und meine Partei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personnel costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MEPs have a monthly staff budget of \u20ac28,696 at their disposal in 2024. This is used to pay the salaries and social security contributions of my current six staff members, four of whom work in Brussels, one in Berlin and one in Magdeburg. Interns are also paid from this budget, as are my employees' business trips and further training. It is important to me that all my employees, including the interns, receive a fair wage so that the personnel budget is used in full. The staff budget is not managed by the MEPs themselves, but by the European Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funds for public relations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Allen Abgeordneten steht zus\u00e4tzlich ein Etat f\u00fcr politische \u00d6ffentlichkeitsarbeit zu, welches pro Jahr bei insgesamt 48 550\u20ac liegt. Um diese Gelder abzurufen, muss jeder einzelne Antrag auf Konformit\u00e4t mit den Richtlinien \u00fcberpr\u00fcft und einzeln von der Fraktion bewilligt werden. Die bewilligten Gelder kann ich beispielsweise f\u00fcr Veranstaltungen oder Printprodukte wie Infobrosch\u00fcren einsetzen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General expenditure allowance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Um B\u00fcrokosten und andere allgemeine Ausgaben bezahlen zu k\u00f6nnen, erhalte ich, wie alle Abgeordneten, monatlich 4 950 \u20ac auf ein extra zu diesem Zweck eingerichtetes Konto. Diese Mittel verwende ich beispielsweise f\u00fcr meine B\u00fcromieten in Berlin und Magdeburg, Telefonkosten meines Teams, Hardware und Software f\u00fcr mein Team, Portokosten, B\u00fcromaterialien und \u00e4hnliche Kosten dieser Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, our Green Group has repeatedly pointed out that the use of the general cost allowance is not transparent enough. However, since so far all motions to revise the rules have been rejected or have not yet been implemented, the Greens\/EFA have made a voluntary commitment on 1 July 2017 to create more transparency: we want to ensure that MEPs' handling of the money from the general expenses allowance becomes more comprehensible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lobby meeting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to know what is needed for a humane and just policy, I meet with many different interest groups. But this has to happen in a way that is comprehensible to everyone. that is why our group has voluntarily committed itself to document all meetings with lobby groups in a publicly accessible way. the only exception is meetings whose publication could endanger the persons concerned. this can be the case, for example, with human rights activists.
