Since its foundation in 1976, the European People’s Party (EPP) has advocated in favour of a strong, transparent and efficient Europe at the service of its citizens. The 2014 European Elections marked the fourth victory for the EPP and reaffirmed the party as the leading political force in Europe. Every day the renewed trust of the European citizens is the driving inspiration for the EPP’s activities. Being the largest political party entails the great responsibility to deliver on all those issues which matter the most to our citizens: jobs and economic stability, competitiveness, security, and prosperity.
We are committed to working with our member parties and associations, our heads of state and government, our ministers in the EPP Ministerial Meetings, President Tusk, President Juncker and the EPP Commissioners, and our Group in the European Parliament to achieve these objectives and to promote our values, which we derive from our Christian Democrat tradition: the dignity of the human being, freedom, responsibility, equality, truth, justice, solidarity and subsidiarity.
We are aware of the importance of being united as well as the privilege of our differences, and of the importance of reaching our citizens and being more accessible in an increasingly interconnected reality. This platform, the new EPP website, has evolved to be more open to the user and aims to make the “European language” our common language.
We wish to offer the openness, dialogue and opportunity for debate which has always distinguished our political family.
President
Secretary General
What we believe and what we will do for Europe.
An EPP delegation chaired by EPP Vice President Paulo Rangel is on a 2-day Fact Finding mission to #Montenegro🇲🇪. #WesternBalkans
Big focus of our visit lies on freedom of media. Discussing with journalists their experiences, role of justice and politics.
The Fact Finding mission started this morning in #Podgorica with a briefing on Montenegro's political landscape from the local Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung office.
Press freedom is the same as personal freedom of anyone, therefore truth means exactly that and reflect a respect they seek
Freedom of speech including the press or television are basic democratic standards.
🔵 EPP Agriculture Ministers met in Luxembourg this morning ahead of the #AGRIFISH Council. The main topic on the agenda was the Commission's proposal on Common Agricultural Policy post-2020 where EPP ministers agreed on the need to maintain sufficient #CAP budget as well as to deliver real simplification to the farmers. Ministers thanked the Bulgarian Presidency and Minister #Porodzanov for excellent work and wished success to the incoming Austrian Presidency.
For this week's #DearCitizen poll, we want to know how important to the European Union🇪🇺 is maintaining strong ties to the United States🇺🇸? Let us know🗳️▶️ epp.org/2HKbu9B
It's very important to stand with USA against totalitarian regimes like China and Iran. #StopChina
The American Alliance with Europe is important, but not at any price. Trump is trampling all over the democratic values that Europe cherishes, and America once did. He is treating his European allies with extraordinary contempt, whilst embracing tyrants and dictators. A line needs t be drawn in the sand and some very concrete signals sent that Europe, and it’s loyalty and support won’t be taken for granted
EU IS MEAN DISASTER FOR OTHER COUNTRYS INCLUDING OTHER CONTINENTS. This is my opinion
The European Union should not only maintain its ties with USA but with all the other states around the world. It is not only the world of the european or american folks, NO! The world belongs to all the people no matter what is written in the passport! Humanity needs air and water to live, how do you share it if you cut the ties? ?? A bit like this :" ohhh, this is water for only european folks, well that is fresh air and it belongs to americans.." How do you think we are going to share space? Isn"t it the dream of any nation to go forward with discovery, to find solutions to live easier and longer and better??? When people reunite with their know how, their technology, their intelligence, most of all their will to cooperate, humanity could go so far.. I mean, hey, get serious, we need one another if we want to survive!!!
The Alliance of EU with the USA 🇺🇸 is very important. The Europeans have a lot to learn.
All planet should stay toghether!
Ties with the US? You mean being the US lap dog?
There is something Europe must bear in mind, there is a deep discrepancy between the American people and the Trump administration. Administrations are variable meaning they are changing. Crucial here is that Europe should just be patient for the alliance between Europe and the US ensure peace and stability in the entirety world no matter their differences!
Quite an obnoxious question. The EU is imploding, the transatlantic relationship with the USA is crucial.
It depends. Not at any cost. Europe ought to become a superpower and join America in leading the world and possibly even become the leader if the US continues to fail.
I dont like the USA meddling in the 2008 europian parliament initiative to put carbon tax on flights, but there are a lot of honest value creating american companies
germany wanted to name skopje macedonia..slavs that came to the area before 1500 years..they have no connection with macedonians which were greeks..still this lie grew and became a fact..it s shame..steeling a nations history..we also have turkey that keeps being aggresive against us and waits for the opportunity to steal our islands and our oil..and guess what..germany sells weapons to turkey..6 submarines are on the way..yes thats the european solidarity..well done germany and europe..your interests above eu..you have put a nation to struggle everyday with economical war.. with that kind of allies what do you want enemies...
Sure, if the EU stops bootlicking the US and actually makes independent decisions. Oh yes, and maintain trade with Russia, for profit, trade deals and if you want gas in the winter 😉
Wake up. US government is a dictatorship.
The US alliance.is very important and must be maintained in good times as well as in bad times... We will soon reach equivality in any case.

U.S.A ALWAYS HELP THE PEOPLE IN EYROPE..REMEBER PRESINT TROUMAN...THE FOOD THA SEND EYRY COUNNTRY; YES I REMEBER THE HELP WE HAVE...GOD BLESS AMERICA,,,
No matter how harsh the rhetoric becomes, Europe knows she can always turn to the U.S. to bail her out of danger--just like numerous times throughout history.
Germany is occupied country with around 50000 American soldiers. The TIES are very strong, indeed.
I voted irrelevant we want an independent and dominant Europe without negative foreign influence
Америка е най - големият тоталитар на Земята.Който президент или министър на която и държана да е , не им е изгоден за интересите го свалят с подривни средства или война.На това ли казвате американска мечта и демокрация? ? Защо Америка щом е толкова загрижена за народите не обърне внимание на истински бедстващи народи , където децата са се превърнали в ходещи скелети от жажда и глад? ? ? Америка не е БОГ, може да е сила , но без душа , без морал.Кръвожадна нация.
Като видя тия двете знамена на краварите и на ЕС...ми става лошо и ми се повръща!
No Amerika is changing verry bad, see twin towers = inside job, Isis = created by the us, Saddam Hussein killed for oil etc etc
As a Greek American I say Greece has never defaulted in any alliance....therefore my answer is Yes.
Well we have common enemies, we have common culture and we stand for the same rights. We are essentially one. But, at the same time, we are not inferior in this relationship
🔵 EPP energy ministers met in Luxembourg today under the chairmanship of Jerzy Buzek prior to the #EnergyCouncil and discussed together with Commissioner Arias Cañete the need to advance the #CleanEnergy Package negotiations. Ministers praised the work of the Bulgarian Presidency on the dossier and called for flexibility and willingness to compromise. EPP’s priority is also to progress with the Gas Directive as well as the #MFF for post-2020.
Europe, and not only Europe, needs more nuclear. Only nuclear can supply the necessary quantities of clean energy. There is no solution to the intermittency of wind and solar, and biofuels are more harmful than fossil fuels.

For this week's #DearCitizen poll we want to know why the EU🇪🇺 should extend membership to the #WesternBalkan countries? Share your opinion with us by replying to our poll 🗳️👉https://epp.org/2HKbu9B
We shouldn't because we are not ready yet. What we should do is allow them to trade on favorable terms, send supervisors to see that the countries will perform the changes that are needed and then admit them to the Union
I wants Bulgaria, the my motherland to leave from EU. I am not europeist
Western Balkans yes. Turkey no.
The western Balkansns were the host to the most recent war in Europe. As we look back at the begging of the EU - the European Community for Coal and Steel, we see that the first goal of the EU and its Founding Fathers, was to extend peace on the continent. For the spread of liberty and democracy all across this ancient battleground, we should not look away from its heart, but instead embrace it! Not sooner than the moment those countries are ready, but no later than the first opportunity, should our brothers and neghbours be welcomed in the forging of the future and this great alliance that is the European Union!
Extending membership is a good thing. Naming fyrom Macedonia is a bad thing.
The EU should not (not!) extend membership to the Western Balkan states!
Yes the Balkans need for negotiations with Europe. The people need for more legality to move. And people want that Europe will be one for all countries. And of course Albania need to go in European Union.
EU stay away from our Balkans!!!!
What happened to the Option “No, they aren’t ready yet or the EU isn’t ready yet”???? Seriously with the stability of the EU at risk and the next round of the budget talks looking set to be a bloodbath, where is the money coming from to pay out the billions needed for the Cohesion Fund?
Definately with Serbia/Macedonia/Bosnia and Montenegro excluding Albania.. and invented state Kosovo
I think the EU should start thinking of getting rid of the "Commission" which is a scandal-ridden make up. Parliament should have the last sayin things, because its members are elected: the big fat cats of the commission have no democratic call.
WOULD BE NICE, AT LEAST TO CONNECT GRECCE. IT LOOKS LIKE AN EU MEMBER IN EXILE.
Като млад студент, ЕС ми дава изключително добри възможности за развитие, пътуване, образование и предимства. Получих възможности да обиколя Европа с проекти "Еразъм +" безплатно, университетски стипендии, да не говоря за кариерни възможности и "млад предприемач" Замислете се - усетихте ли ЕС да помага в живота ви или не - не говорете за прогнози и статистики. Животът хубав!
Of course !! They have fulfilled their requirements, the European Commission says so !!
EU nowadays is an union of thief politics not an economic union. If it doesn't change, the states members should left it for their own surviving.
I mean all Balkanics countries could be entry in our EU As Bosnia Mazedonia (we’ll see Greece to say) Serbia Montenegro and Albania too And more long time Turkey Moldova Ukraine Belarus and Kaucasian countries too Norway Iceland and Switzerland they’ve Special treat with EU Greetings
I think that elargement should be ready Member States but also Union itself
It wud be great that every country will be friendly to each other. But first catch robers and send em to jail. To make good life in ur lands.
This survey is poorly constructed. you give us 4 answers to choose from when there are opinions that were not mentioned about the EU's expansion into the western Balkans.
The European states have to build them. USA is a European affair and works.
България на три морета ли е изобразена на картата или нещо грешно я разбирам?
Please don't. Your help brings only misery and dispare to everyone that joins this criminal organization. It is good only for Germany and it's 4th Reich which EU is really based on.
ЕВРОПА ТРЯБВА ДА ПРИСЪЕДИНИ, ЗАПАДНИТЕ БАЛКАНИ, ЗАЩТОТО ТУРЦИЯ ХЛОПА НА ВРАТАТА НА ЕВРОПА,И ТО СЪС ДОСТА ГОЛЕМИ ГОЛЕМИ ПРЕТЕНЦИИ....
Lol the question you actually have is why you should 😂 Harold Pilnik misinformation....
Becouse they are also Europeans and we should share with them the advantages to be into the union
