The supply of food is a valuable asset. Times of crisis show us how important self-sufficiency in the basic necessities of food and energy is for us. Relieve the middle class: Excessive bureaucracy stifles and destroys the middle class. It hinders regional businesses, which are needed for a vibrant rural area. Adapted standards for imports into the EU: Trade agreements with third countries must meet the EU’s quality and process standards for ecological, social, and economic reasons. Strengthen security: The common defense and security policy must be strong. Our cybersecurity must ensure significantly more resilience against cyber threats. We must ensure that “Made in Germany” remains a promise of quality

European Movement in Serbia, in collaboration with the European Democratic Party, is organising a public debate entitled “Serbia’s European Hour – Lost Time or New Opportunity?”
EDP MEPs in Paris with Gozi, Bayrou and Barrot: priorities for Strasbourg, governance reform, the cost of living, ecological transition and Europe’s global role
The Secretary General of the EDP and MEP for Renew Europe responds to the Serbian President’s letter: “It is not the citizens who are compromising Serbia’s European path, but its government, with violence, lies, and attacks on freedom.”
As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen international cooperation between democratic forces, the EDP recently hosted a transatlantic dinner discussion in Paris, bringing together key figures from European and American centrist politics.
Thirty years ago, in Srebrenica, more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were murdered by the Bosnian Serb army. In 2007, the International Court of Justice ruled that the atrocities constituted genocide. The wider Bosnian War saw over 100,000 killed, thousands of women raped, and more than two million people forced from their homes between 1992 and 1995. On this solemn occasion remembering one of the darkest chapters in Europe’s recent history, the ALDE Party, LIBSEEN members in the region, ALDE in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, European Democratic Party, Liberal International, LYMEC, Renew Europe in the Committee of the Regions, Renew Europe in the European Parliament, and the Young Democrats for Europe are united in honouring their memory and issue the following statement:
The outbreak of war between Iran, Israel and the United States has temporarily subsided, but the balance remains fragile.
The European Democratic Party co-organised and played a central role in the summit that brought together heads of state and party leaders from our democratic, liberal and centrist family at the Maison de la Poste in Brussels on 26 June. Sandro Gozi, Secretary General of the EDP, led the delegation of democrats and contributed to the adoption of the joint declaration “Freedom on the offensive”, a clear and courageous response to the populist wave and the threats to democracy in Europe.
