Marc Joulaud

Marc Joulaud (born 3 September 1967 in Mayenne) is a French politician who served as Member of the European Parliament for the West France constituency from 2014 until 2019.

In 1992, Jouland started working with François Fillon, at that time mayor of Sablé-sur-Sarthe, as special advisor, which marked the beginning of a long cooperation between the two men.

In 1995 and 1998, when Fillon was elected president of the Conseil general de la Sarthe [fr] and Conseil régional des Pays de la Loire [fr], Joulaud followed him as his closest advisor.

He finally became MP on 19 July 2002, after the nomination of François Fillon as a member of the government.

As a candidate for the European elections of 2014, Joulaud was at the 3rd place on the UMP list, after Alain Cadec and Elisabeth Morin-Chartier.

Reflecting this, he was appointed as the EPP shadow rapporteur on CULT opinions on IPR enforcement and the copyright reform.
