45 years of experience and 20 years on the Staff Committee
45+ years at the European Parliament
Joining the EP in 1981, I have developed a unique and in-depth knowledge of the institution, its evolution, its mechanisms and the realities experienced by staff at every level.
20 years elected to the Staff Committee
Two decades as an elected member of the Staff Committee — a long, consistent and concrete commitment to defending the rights and interests of every colleague.
Defending rights with rigour
Defending your rights with rigour and determination — a priority I have carried throughout my career on the Staff Committee and will continue to uphold.
Personalised support
Every situation is unique. I offer personalised guidance through administrative procedures and appeals, with complete availability and without judgement.
Transparency and information
Keeping you informed clearly and regularly — particularly on developments in salaries and working conditions — is a responsibility I take seriously.
Pragmatism and dialogue
Representation is not enough — what matters is action, with pragmatism and a spirit of dialogue. I carry your voice faithfully and defend your interests consistently.
