European Parliamentary Labour Party: Labour MEPs: Claude Moraes MEP

Claude says

“Half of all new legislation now enacted in the UK begins in Brussels. Since the late 1990s the European Parliament has extensive power to amend or strike down laws in key areas of our lives. It has never been more important as an MEP to focus on how I can influence this legislation, keep a check against the European Commission and Council (member states) and scrutinise the EU budget. Many of the key issues I concentrate on in the European Parliament will directly affect the people I represent as a London MEP, from ageing and pensioners’ issues, anti-discrimination, action on disability, EU funding for London and urban regeneration, to a wealth of employment matters such as working time or health and safety legislation.”

Transparency

The expenditure of Labour MEPs' general expenditure and secretarial allowances is reviewed through an audit process carried out by an independent qualified accountant who provides the EPLP with a signed letter testifying that the allowances have been spent in accordance with the Parliament rules and the EPLP's own guidelines. Please find a copy of this letter here.
