Liberal Democrat MEPs are committed to the highest standards of public service and transparency with regard to the use of public funds.
Each MEP undertakes to ensure strict observance of the Members’ Statute, the Assistants’ Statute, and to the Implementing Measures for the Statute of Members of the European Parliament (IMS).
In addition, all MEPs adhere to the Liberal Democrat
Code of Conduct as a common measure of transparency in order to ensure their accountability to the electors, the European Parliament and the UK Liberal Democrats.
Once a year, Liberal Democrat MEPs publish an independently verified annual financial statement detailing the amount of allowances and expenditure received. These statements are published on each individual MEP website as well as here.
Only Liberal Democrat MEPs make receipts for items spent under the General Expenditure Allowance (GEA) in excess of £25 available either on their websites or on request in their constituency offices.
