She was elected MEP.[10][11][12] She joined the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET), as well as the Delegation for relations with the People's Republic of China (D-CN), the Delegation for Relations with India (D-IN) and the Delegation to the ACP–EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly (DACP), serving as Vice-Chair in the latter body.[13]
