EPP-ED Group Priorities


The European Union has to face a number of challenges in today's globalised world, including major issues concerning security, employment, competitiveness and solidarity, energy and food supplies, the environment and climate change. How we tackle these challenges will influence Europe’s place in the world. The Presidency of the EPP-ED Group has decided to maximise its influence by engaging in these strategic European debates, in order to provide their solutions.
