Founding of the "Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists (AECR)" asbl/vzw

30th October

On October 1st, a first meeting was convened to approve the Statutes of a new organisation, the "Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists, (AECR)".

 AECR has been set up as an asbl/vzw under Belgian law, and has in the meantime been registered as such by the relevant legal authorities.

 The statutes of the meeting were approved by the Founders Mr. Derk Jan Eppink, MEP (President), by Mr. Kristof Van der Cruysse (Vice-President and Treasurer) and by Mr. Vincent De Roeck (Secretary-General).

 On October 13th at a special AECR meeting, the Founders transferred their directorships to the following MEP's: Mr. Jan Zahradil (President), Mr. Adam Bielan (Vice-President), and Mr. Dan Hannan (Secretary-General).

 It was an exciting occasion that marked the beginning of an era in which we hope AECRE will fulfil the important role of voicing a vision on European events based on the Eurorealist "Prague Declaration".  AECR will serve as a platform for discussion, dissemination of views and coordination of its member's views on various European topics.

 

 

Welcome to the website of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group in the European Parliament.

In July 2009, the ECR was formed by eight political parties who share the common goals of opposition to Euro-federalism and of fundamental reform of the European Union to make it more accountable, transparent and responsive to the needs of the people.

This website is intended to provide you with information about our work and our political priorities, and to provide you with an opportunity to let us know your views.
