Verena Mertens represents Germany in the European Parliament as a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Germany's main centre-right party that has historically dominated the country's political landscape. She sits with the European People's Party (EPP), the Parliament's largest political group, which advocates for Christian democratic values, free market economics, and European integration while emphasizing subsidiarity and traditional social policies. Her political alignment places her within the mainstream conservative tradition that has shaped post-war German politics through figures like Konrad Adenauer and Angela Merkel. As part of the EPP's substantial parliamentary presence, she contributes to the group's influence on European Union legislation and policy-making across various policy areas.

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.
