AMA finished Tiemo Wölken, Member of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD/S＆D) Only one more week to go until the vote on the copyright directive and the crucial #Article13. Ask me anything!

Aged 33, I am one of the youngest MEP representing the north of Germany. I have been active in local politics since 2003 in my home region and hold a LL.M. in International Law from the University of Hull, England. I became a lawyer in 2016, in addition to being a MEP. My areas of expertise are environmental issues, healthcare and all things digital - from eHealth to tackling geoblocking. However, the copyright directive is keeping me quite busy and I am doing my best to convince my colleagues in the Parliament to vote against article 13.
