EurActiv reported in May 2014 on a study published by VoteWatch Europe which showed that German Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) were the most diligent during the last term – at least in submitting co-decision reports – and that on average MEPs from the 15 "old" EU member states were considerably more engaged than their colleagues from the 13 “new” members.
