European Parliament

In the European elections in 1999 , Niebler was elected to the European Parliament for her home region Upper Bavaria for the first time via the Bavarian CSU state list and in the same year as Parliamentary Managing Director of the CDU / CSU group in the EPP Group in the European Parliament. She held this office until May 2014. Since June 2014 Niebler has been chairwoman of the CSU European group and co-chairman of the CDU / CSU group and also remains a member of the board of the EPP parliamentary group .

Focus of work

In the European Parliament, Niebler was chairman of the influential committee on industry, research and energy from 2007 to 2009 . Since the European elections in 2009 she has been a member of this committee and a deputy in the Legal Affairs Committee. In addition, from 2009 to 2014 Niebler was chair of the European Parliament's delegation for relations with the Arabian Peninsula and is a member of the delegation for relations with the United States .

Reduction of mobile phone charges in other European countries

As chairman of the Committee for Industry, Research and Energy, Niebler led the negotiations between the European Parliament and the Council and Commission on the EU roaming regulation in 2007 and advocated strengthening consumer rights. This ordinance significantly reduced mobile phone charges in other European countries between 2007 and 2010 in the EU.

Seventh research framework program

As parliamentary rapporteur for the specific “Ideas” program, Niebler was instrumental in drawing up the EU's Seventh Research Framework Program.

Between 2007 and 2013, the “Ideas” program is providing 7.5 billion euros to individual scientists doing basic research. The granting of funds is organized by the European Research Council .

Income and outside employment

Angelika Niebler published her income as a member of parliament on her website. During her time as a member of parliament, she worked as a lawyer for the law firms Bird & Bird (2004 to 2015) and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher (from September 2015). In this regard, Der Spiegel stated that Niebler's parliamentary and part-time jobs were similar in terms of content. She herself does not provide any information and relies on the lawyers' obligation to maintain confidentiality . With additional income totaling at least 123,516 euros in four years (from July 2014 to July 2018) from fourteen secondary activities (nine of which are voluntary), she has been the highest-earning German member of the European Parliament in the legislative period since 2014.

Women's Union

From 1999 to 2009 Niebler was district chairwoman of the Frauen-Union Oberbayern and from 2009 to 2019 state chairwoman of the Free University of Bavaria and thus also a member of the CSU executive committee.

Quota for women in the CSU

In June 2009, the FU-Bavaria applied to its state assembly in Amberg to introduce a women's quota of 40 percent for all CSU party committees. As the state chairman, Angelika Niebler campaigned heavily for the quota in the months that followed. Due to the resistance to a quota at all association levels, the CSU board looked for a compromise shortly before the vote at the party congress. A quorum based on the CDU model was under discussion, but this variant was found to be impractical. The motion, which was ultimately to be voted on at the party congress, only provided for a quota for the state and district boards. Only in 2013 does the CSU want to consider a quota for local and district associations. At the party congress on October 29, 2010 in Munich , the majority of the delegates voted for the introduction of the women's quota.

Mentoring program

In 2005 Angelika Niebler initiated the mentoring program in the Upper Bavaria district. It is designed as a women's advancement program that introduces women to political work and qualifies them for this. Each participant is assigned a professional politician as a mentor who supports them in this. Together, the mentees go through a program that includes and illuminates the various aspects of political work. Mentoring programs based on this model have also been established in other district associations.

Other offices and voluntary activities

In 1995 Niebler became a member of the district executive committee of the CSU Upper Bavaria. Since 1996 she has been a member of the district council in the district of Ebersberg .

As patron of the European Foundation for Premature Babies and Newborns with Diseases (EFCNI), she is committed to supporting families with premature babies. Among other things, Niebler is a member of the non-partisan European Union parliamentary group in the European Parliament , the Hanns Seidel Foundation , the Board of Trustees of the Technical University of Munich and the Administrative Council of the Deutsches Museum . In 2000 she was elected as a representative of the liberal professions as a member of the television council of the Second German Television . She is one of the founding members of the German European Security Association founded in 2006 .

On May 14, 2011 Niebler was elected district chairman of the CSU Ebersberg. She succeeded the former Bavarian Minister of Social Affairs Christa Stewens . In 2015 she passed the office on to Thomas Huber after she did not stand for re-election.
