Markus Pieper (born 15 May 1963) is a German politician and member of the

Pieper serves on the Committee on Transport and Tourism and on the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy.
In 2014, Pieper drafted a resolution of the European Parliament calling for more stringent impact assessments before EU legislation is proposed. The resolution, passed with a large majority, backed an idea set out in the Stoiber ‘red tape report’ – drawn up by a high-level group chaired by
