Her political roles included serving as the Transportation and Tourism Spokesman for the Conservative Party, where she focused on the aviation sector. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, she also served as the rapporteur for the law that established the minimum security requirements for airports throughout Europe.
She was a member of the Committee on Trade and Industry as well. She belonged to both the Animal Welfare Parliamentary Intergroup and the Sky & Space Parliamentary Intergroup.
She was elected as an MEP in 2009 after finishing third on the Conservative ticket for the North West in the European Parliament election.

The ‘Report on the Safe Use of RPAS’ (drones) in the civil sector was drafted by her. Foster stayed on the Committee on Environment. She was re-elected to serve as Vice-President of the Parliamentary Intergroups on Animal Welfare and Sky & Space.
With an eye toward negotiating future trade agreements, she was elected Vice-President of the Australia/New Zealand Delegation while continuing to serve as a member of the EU/US Parliamentary Delegation.
