An MEP's Job

As MEP for the North East Region I am called upon by constituents (including businesses, trade unions, charities & voluntary organisations) to take up cases with a European dimension.  I have sucessfully helped individuals with pension claims in other EU countries, benefits and allowances with an EU angle, education questions, child contact etc.

Please have a look at the issues below for a general guide on what I can help with this will be added to over time.  Please contact me if you believe I may be able to help.

Can I take my case to the European Court?

There are some misunderstandings regarding the "European Court".
