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.

Freedom of speech including the press or television are basic democratic standards.
Press freedom is the same as personal freedom of anyone, therefore truth means exactly that and reflect a respect they seek
Welcome to Europe! :-)

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!!!
Wake up. US government is a dictatorship.
All planet should stay toghether!
The Alliance of EU with the USA 🇺🇸 is very important. The Europeans have a lot to learn.
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!
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.
Quite an obnoxious question. The EU is imploding, the transatlantic relationship with the USA is crucial.
I love the Iberian Peninsula Força Portugal
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 😉

No Amerika is changing verry bad, see twin towers = inside job, Isis = created by the us, Saddam Hussein killed for oil etc etc
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.
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!
I voted irrelevant we want an independent and dominant Europe without negative foreign influence
Anything with the EU flag make me sick
🔵 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.
