Brussels to Strasbourg
Jean spends on average three weeks of every month in Brussels and one week in Strasbourg. The Committee and political group meetings in Brussels and the Parliamentary meetings in Strasbourg normally last from Monday to Thursday. These are the core days that Jean spends in Brussels but she tends to split her time between doing Parliamentary and constituency activities.

Constituency weeks
Jean often spends time meeting constituents and attending public events in London on Fridays and at the weekends. There are also four constituency weeks each year where Jean stays in London. Because Jean works on similar issues such as sustainability, immigration, asylum and social inclusion, in Parliament and in the constituency, there is a lot of continuity between her Brussels and London work.
Jean is a member of the Greens/European Free Alliance political Group in the European Parliament. This Group is made up of Green and Regionalist MEPs from around Europe and has 42 Members. Being Vice-President means that she is involved in helping steer the political direction and priorities of the Group. For more information on Political Groups and their importance, see the European Parliament section on Political Groups.
