Voyage to the earth of Europe : 1953-2009 : a history of the Christian Democratic Group and the Group of the European... - Democratic Group And The Grou

This book invites you to discover the role played by one of the major
political forces to have grown up in the European Parliament, from its
creation in 1953 to its comprehensive victory in the European elections
in June 2009.
The Christian Democrat Group, which subsequently became the Group
of the European People's Party, brings together most of the centre,
moderate and Conservative parties in the Europe of 27. Its views have a
decisive and growing influence on EU decision-making. The EPP Group,
which has played a part in major European events from the birth of the
Community in the midst of the Cold War to the introduction of the Single
Market and the euro, from the reunification of the continent after the fall
of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the impact of globalisation and the economic
crisis, is above all a collection of men and women who share the same
values and the same commitment to European integration.

Drawn from unpublished archives and interviews, the book is a
valuable source of information for anyone wanting a better knowledge
and understanding of the history of European integration.
