În 2014, a devenit președinte al acestui parlament pentru prima dată, post pe care l-a deținut până în 2016, când a fost numit să reprezinte Comunitatea germanofonă din Senatul Belgiei. În iunie 2019, și-a reluat funcția de președinte al Parlamentului, poziție pe care o deține în prezent.

Karl-Heinz Lambertz este membru al CoR din 2001 și a fost președintele Grupului PSE din cadrul Comitetului în perioada 2011-2015. În 2000, a devenit membru al Congresului Autorităților Locale și Regionale al Consiliului Europei, al cărui vicepreședinte este în prezent.
