    I don't think you are allowed to believe anything you read in Catholic papers about the EU Catalpa

    Be good to have someone like her there, as it is an important committee. Unfortunately, she will be less capable of having an impact coming from UKIP.
    Yes you are right. As this link shows, she has made it onto the Budgetary Control Committee and is a substitute member of the Committee on Budgets.

    This may actually get to be interesting.

    Your MEPs : Marta ANDREASEN
    I just got a press release from the Euro-Greens in which it states she failed to get elected as vice-chair of the Budgetary Control Committee and, as a result, suggested the committee appoint a Belgian Green MEP to take her place. I guess that is the first implication of her being a member of a party that is meaningless in terms of the influence it has in the EP. Pity for her.

    She is not a great fan of Pat Cox either going by her reference to him in the book.

    This lady has highlighted the flaws at the herat of the EU. Pro-EU partoes need to take this fraud head on to restire confidence in the project, instead of which they are just keeping their heads down

    In keeping their heads down, parties and their supporters here are doing themselves no favours.

    Her description of what the Parliament does to keep investigation results in fraud cases out of the public domain is devastating for anyone who believes the European system is transparent or accountable.

    This woman has not retreated from the battlefield. Connolly is not so visible now?
