About Liesbet SOMMEN

Liesbet Sommen represents Belgium in the European Parliament as a member of the European People's Party (EPP), the Parliament's largest political group that promotes centre-right policies including market economy principles, Christian democratic values, and European integration. She belongs to Belgium's Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats), which forms part of the country's traditional centrist political landscape. Sommen demonstrates exceptional parliamentary engagement with a 99.5% attendance record, significantly above the European Parliament's average of approximately 82%, and maintains a 99% voting participation rate, having cast ballots in 1,863 of 1,873 votes during her full term. The EPP focuses on strengthening European competitiveness, supporting small and medium enterprises, promoting digital transformation, and maintaining strong transatlantic relationships while emphasizing subsidiarity in EU governance. Her consistent parliamentary presence reflects active participation in the legislative process, though her specific committee work and policy specializations would require additional verification to detail accurately.
