European People's Party
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Infobox European Political Party The European People's Party (EPP) is a European political party founded in 1976. The EPP includes member Christian Democratic national parties and other likeminded national parties from throughout the European Union.
In the European Parliament the EPP cooperates with the more conservative and eurosceptic European Democrats faction to form the EPP-ED Group.
According to its website the EPP is "a family of the political centre whose roots are deep in the history of European civilization. It unites like-minded national parties, in EU Member States and in EU applicant countries and we maintain close contact with decided probable candidate countries."
The EPP has a youth political party called the Youth of the European People's Party (YEPP). The European Democratic Students (EDS) is a group of student political parties associated with the EPP.
