About Parliament Radar

Parliament Radar follows the European Parliament week by week. It looks ahead at the files coming to a vote and at who is working on them, picks out the dossiers that are moving, gathers the news coverage, and then reports the results group by group and country by country. It is free, and the weekly edition takes about five minutes to read.

What you get

Each plenary week we publish The Week in 5 minutes as a web page, a PDF and a shorter e-mail. It opens with the coming votes: the legislative files and the EU budget due in plenary, the rapporteur for each one and the groups that have a shadow rapporteur on the file. Rising comes next, our weekly index of the dossiers moving fastest towards plenary. In the news follows, with the files that had the most press coverage in the EU. Then the results: every vote, where groups split, and a short note on the national delegations that broke with their group. In plenary weeks, a video of 35 to 50 seconds follows each voting day, with captions and narration by an AI-generated voice, labelled as such.

The site keeps all of it in one place. Every dossier and every vote has a page, and so do each of the 27 countries and each MEP, with the year's votes and a few numbers defined in the methodology. Each MEP page also says how the MEP was elected in 2024, with a map of where their list won votes. You can follow a country or an MEP without an account; the choice stays in your browser and is never sent to us. For every vote you can see which groups formed the majority, and a Majorities page shows how often each group was on the winning side and how often pairs of groups voted alike. You can compare two MEPs vote by vote and embed any vote on your own site, with credit. Monthly specials come with the data to download.

How we work

Code computes the numbers from open data, automatic tests check them, and each one links back to its source and its collection date. We draft the texts with AI tools, and an editor checks the numbers, names and facts before anything goes out. Mistakes are corrected in public. The details are in the editorial line, the independence policy, the methodology and the licences and credits.

Who publishes it

Parliament Radar is published by Parleon, an AI and data consultancy based in Portugal. Parleon works for parliamentary offices, political groups and parties, and builds data and AI workflows inside their own accounts. The Radar is free and Parleon pays for all of it; the consultancy is contracted separately.

Declaration of interests

Editorial wall. No client pays for coverage, reviews texts before publication or is spared in the data. No political actor pays for, reviews or commissions content. We do not take story requests from clients. We do not publish sponsored content and we do not boost posts.

Clients in the data. Parleon's clients may appear in the Radar and in the specials, under the same rules as everyone else. We do not disclose who our clients are.

Neutrality. The Radar does not take sides. All groups and all MEPs are measured the same way and described in the same terms. Because Parleon also advises parliamentary offices, we have written the editorial wall down here.

Commercial invitations. An invitation to talk about your office appears only at the end of dossier pages and of the newsletter. Subscribing to the newsletter does not authorise commercial contact.

Artificial intelligence. We draft Radar texts with AI tools. Before publication a person checks the numbers, names and facts, and nothing goes out without that check. Our videos are narrated with an AI-generated voice, and the weekly Monday video on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok is presented by an AI character who is not a real person; each video says so.

Corrections. We correct errors within 48 hours and date the correction at the top of the text. Requests: radar@parleon.eu.

Personal data. The Radar uses only public data on parliamentary activity. Our server counts visits from its logs, with a shortened IP address and no cookies, and what you follow stays in your browser; the privacy notice has the details. Names of MEPs' assistants never appear, only counts. The newsletter uses double opt-in. Requests about personal data: privacy@parleon.eu.
