politics

Bösch was initially politically active from 1978 to 1988 as the state chairman of the young generation of the SPÖ Vorarlberg and was a substitute member of the Höchst municipal council from 1980 to 1985 . In addition, from 1980 to 1985 he held the position of local party chairman of the SPÖ Höchst and from 1989 was district party chairman of the SPÖ Bregenz. Between October 24, 1989 and October 18, 1994, he represented the SPÖ Vorarlberg in the Federal Council, after which he moved to the National Council, to which he was a member from November 7, 1994 to June 22, 1995 and for a short time on January 15, 1996. Bösch subsequently represented Austria in the European Parliament from January 1, 1995 to July 14, 2009 and from January 31, 2007 to July 13, 2009 he was the chairman of the Budgetary Control Committee. Bösch left parliament in the course of the 2009 European elections after the party leadership had placed him on a hopeless list. The bad ranking was widely seen as a punishment for Bösch's criticism of the EU-skeptical course of party chairman and Chancellor Werner Faymann.

Bösch was the European Parliament's permanent rapporteur on the fight against fraud and, in 1999, achieved the resignation of the entire Commission through his work as parliamentary budget controller. He was also a deputy member of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development , a member of the EU-Chile Joint Parliamentary Committee and a deputy member of the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Cooperation Committee.
