European Conservatives and Reformist Group




Introduction

The European Conservatives and Reformists group was created in 2009 to campaign for urgent reform of the European Union. We believe it is time to make Europe work again: both economically and for its people. Bringing together 70 MEPs from 15 EU countries, we are currently the third largest group in the European Parliament.

Eurorealism

The ECR’s founding ideals are based on the Prague Declaration, which calls for an EU of openness, transparency, and particularly eurorealism.

The eurorealism concept distinguishes the ECR’s agenda from the other political groups. We believe in a new direction for the EU, which does not destroy the organisation or undermine cooperation.

However, we want to steer the EU away from the ideological march towards a European federal super state and towards a more flexible organisation that listens to and respects people in all of its member countries. Instead of clinging to outdated ideals of European integration we believe in equipping the EU with the practical solutions required to rise to today’s challenges.

We want to make the EU open for trade, closer to its people, living within its means and delivering value, and respectful of the diversity across Europe. Above all, we want an EU of cooperation and common sense.


Successes

Despite being a new group we have already managed to make a major difference to the European political landscape. Just a few of our successes include:

- Securing a more rational EU budget

- Bringing an end to years of fisheries mismanagement

- Driving the opening of trade across the world

- Leading the campaign to save money by ending the monthly ‘Travelling Circus’ to Strasbourg

- Helping entrepreneurs, cutting red tape and completing the single market.
