“The EPP Statutory Congress in Bucharest was a milestone for our political family. Twenty years after the ‘Basic Programme’ of Athens, our delegates adopted with large majority the new ‘Party Platform’. The platform has taken into account the fundamental changes that Europe has undergone in recent years and, at the same time, has re-confirmed the values that guide our political family which are an indispensable element of EPP’s success. The platform also tackles the challenges which Europe and our societies currently face and puts forward solutions that will secure a stable and prosperous future for EU’s citizens,” EPP President Wilfried Martens stated.

“The new ‘Manifesto’ is a comprehensive document of our main political positions. The document underlines our clear commitment to establish a real political Union. We believe that the EU and the Member States must take the necessary steps to exercise more power jointly. Regarding the current economic crisis, we believe that a balanced approach between fiscal discipline and sustainable economic growth is the only credible solution. We also underline that the Euro is one of the most profound expressions of European integration, and it needs to be safeguarded and strengthened,” EPP President Martens added.

Finally, on the sidelines of the EPP Congress, the Political Assembly accepted the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), as an observer member of the EPP.
