Independence policy

Parliament Radar is published by Parleon, which also sells AI and data consultancy to parliamentary offices, political groups and parties. A publisher with clients among the people it covers has to say so, and has to show how it keeps the two apart. This page does both.

Who pays for the Radar

• Parleon pays for the Radar in full. The Radar earns nothing; Parleon's income comes from its consultancy.
• The Radar carries no advertising and has no sponsors or paid partners.
• We never pay to promote a post, on any platform.
• We do not accept money, gifts or services for the Radar from MEPs, political groups, parties, governments or candidates.

The 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.
• Clients are covered like everyone else. We do not change, delay or drop a piece because it concerns a client.
• We do not disclose who our clients are.
• The responsible editor also leads Parleon's consultancy, so the wall rests on written rules and logged reviews; there are no separate teams.
• Data from our clients' accounts never enters the Radar, which uses only public data.

Neutrality

The Radar does not take sides. It measures every group and every MEP the same way and describes them in the same terms. The rules are in the editorial line and the calculations in the methodology.

The invitation to talk

• The only commercial message in the Radar is an invitation to talk about how an office works, at the end of dossier pages and of the newsletter. It is kept apart from the content, and there is never more than one per e-mail.
• Subscribing to the newsletter does not authorise commercial contact. Subscribers are never added to a sales list without their own, separate consent.

Political advertising

The Radar is editorial content. No political actor pays for it, commissions it or approves it, and we do not publish anything on behalf of a political actor.

Artificial intelligence

How we use AI tools, and the human check every text goes through, is set out in the editorial line.

If you think we broke these rules

Write to radar@parleon.eu. We reply within 48 hours, and if a rule was broken, we say so on the corrections page.
