Le Soir: "Travel paid for by foreign states for 140 MEPs"

The only warning: do not lump everything together because the MEPs who have had a trip paid for many times were engaged in activities functional to their position. India and Israel are the two destinations that stand out for the number of trips made by MEPs at the expense of non-EU countries. From an investigation by the Belgian newspaper Le Soir, one of the newspapers that revealed more details on the Qatargate investigation, it emerges that around 328 travel declarations have been filed with the offices of the European Parliament since the beginning of the legislature.
