<p>Each MP has a travel budget of about 4,250 EUR that can be spent per year on so-called &#8220;non-official trips&#8221;. Non-official trips are those that are not organized by the Parliament and do not go to my constituency. In order to be reimbursed for these non-official trips, Members have to prove that they were related to their work as a Member of the European Parliament. Only then will the costs be reimbursed by the European Parliament.</p>


Travel expenses

<p>Upon request, each member of parliament has approximately EUR 40,000 per year at his or her disposal to finance political public relations activities. This money is used, for example, to pay for publications, conferences or seminars. This budget is managed by the parliamentary group, so that each deputy must submit an application for his or her respective event or publication. If this budget is not used up, the money goes back to the European Parliament.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>


Political funds

<div>
<p>Members of parliament also receive EUR 4,610 per month to cover their office expenses. I use this money to pay for telephone costs and the equipment and rent for the regional offices, for example. But all office materials from file folders to staplers to USB sticks are also paid for by the expense allowance. To ensure and make transparent that this money is really only used for these kinds of office expenses, I keep this lump sum in a separate account. Thus, it is strictly separated from my salary. In addition, I have been publishing an overview of the items of my office expenses since January 2017:</p>

Office expenses

<p>Each month, each MEP is provided with a budget of EUR 24,943 to cover any staff costs. From this budget, I pay three staff members in Brussels, one position in Düsseldorf and half a position in Gelsenkirchen, as well as a proportion of the delegation positions of the German European Group in the European Parliament. Interns are also paid from this budget. These funds do not go directly to the MEPs. Instead, this budget is controlled and managed by the European Parliament or a paying agency in Germany. Assistants in the European Parliament are therefore directly employed by the institution and receive their salaries from the Parliament. In the event that this budget is not used to pay staff, the money goes back to the European Parliament.</p>


Personnel Expenses

<p>Members of the European Parliament receive EUR 8,611.31 per month. After EU community tax and accident insurance, 6,710.67 EUR remain. 19% of my salary goes monthly to Bündnis/90 die Grünen as mandate holder levy. In addition to the monthly salary, there is a meeting allowance of 323 EUR per day (as of 2020). This allowance is used to finance the expenses of MEPs on the days designated in the calendar of the European Parliament for official activities at the place of work or meeting. These so-called per diems are thus intended to cover the additional costs of accommodation and meals. We, as Greens, advocate for a reduction of these meeting allowances.</p>
