Politico: Croatia's Sokol most active MEP in EPP group

ZAGREB, 20 Jan (Hina) - A Croatian member of the European Parliament, Tomislav Sokol of the EPP group, was declared "the chattiest" MEP in that political group, according te the Politico portal which published the top 10 ranking of the MEPs who spent the longest time talking during plenary sessions.

The ranking is topped by Polish Law and Justice member Joachim Stanisław Brudziński of the Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group. The performance of the ten chattiest MEPs was measured by the total number of words included in plenary minutes per MEP.

Croatia's MEP Sokol ranks eighth, having said more than 6,700 words in plenary sessions. By comparison, the chattiest Polish MEP has 10,003 words measured for this category, and the second-ranking Irish MEP Mick Wallace has 8,266, while Pedro Marques, a Portuguese politician of the Socialist Party (PS), follows with 8,243 words said during plenary sessions.

The Politico website carried the findings of analyses made by the EP about the activities of 705 MEPs over the past two and a half years, grouping them in several categories such as "biggest losers", "most absent", "noisiest", "chattiest", or "most ignored".

Sokol tweeted that he is "proud to be in @POLITICOEurope top ten MEPs list for speaking time in plenary. I will continue to be loudest voice of Croatian citizens in the @Europarl_EN."

He said he considered talks, constructive discussions and the presentation of arguments to be key to success in finding answers to joint questions.

All of us have the same goals and those are the protection of the rights of our citizens, their welfare and prosperity, and equal opportunities and equal living conditions for all. This can be achieved only by agreement preceded by dialogue, he said.

The focus of Sokol's activities is healthcare and the rights of patients throughout the European Union, and the use of EU funds to lessen social and economic gaps.
