Study suggests Czech MEPs were third-most diligent

A newly-released study by the Czech think-tank European Values suggests that among members of the European Parliament, Czech MEPS were the third-most active in the European Parliament from July 2014 until July of this year. Swedish members of Parliament ranked second and Croatians first. According to the study, Czech MEPs had 76 percent attendance compared to the 68 percent average; engagement in parliamentary committees was not as strong. The study also reportedly showed that attendance was lowest among Eurosceptic parties or far-right parties such Le Front National headed by Marine Le Pen.
