The European Democratic Alliance was a heterogeneous political group in the European Parliament between 1984 and 1995. It consisted mainly of deputies from the French Gaullist Rally for the Republic (RPR) and the Irish Fianna Fáil.[9] The grouping had a generally centre-right outlook, and strongly defended the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy.[10]
Following the 1984 elections, the Group of European Progressive Democrats[4] renamed itself on 24 July 1984[3] to the Group of the European Democratic Alliance.[2][4] The European Democratic Alliance merged with the Forza Europa group (dominated by MEPs from Forza Italia) to became the "Group Union for Europe" on 6 July 1995.[5][11][12]
The name of the group in English is Group of the European Democratic Alliance[2][4][5] in long form, European Democratic Alliance[1] in short form, and the abbreviation is EDA.[1][2] The equivalents in French are Groupe du Rassemblement des Démocrates Européens, Rassemblement des Démocrates Européens, and RDE.[3] Those French equivalents are sometimes rendered in English as Union of European Democrats and UED.[13]
