About Markus FERBER

Markus Ferber represents Germany in the European Parliament as a member of the Christian Social Union of Bavaria (CSU), the conservative sister party to Germany's Christian Democratic Union that operates exclusively in Bavaria. He sits with the European People's Party (EPP), the Parliament's largest political group that promotes centre-right policies including free market economics, European integration, and Christian democratic values. A long-serving MEP first elected in 1994, he has established himself as a significant voice on economic and financial affairs within the Parliament. His Bavarian political background reflects the CSU's focus on federalism, traditional values, and regional interests within the broader German and European context. Ferber's extensive parliamentary experience spans multiple legislative periods, making him one of the more senior German representatives in the institution and a veteran figure within the EPP group.

Methodology

Attendance is calculated based on roll-call votes in plenary sessions of the European Parliament. Committee votes are excluded. Abstaining counts as present; not voting counts as absent. Sittings for which the Parliament officially excused a Member (Rule 162, illness, family, official mission, or maternity) are credited, not counted as absences. Notable votes are selected based on significance, close outcomes, and high participation.
