Anna Rosbach Andersen (born February 2, 1947 in Gladsaxe ) is a Danish politician and was a member of the European Parliament from 2009 to 2014 . She was a non-party member of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group.

Life

Rosbach Andersen worked as a choir director and singing teacher and joined the right-wing populist Danish People's Party (DF). In 2000 she became office manager for the European parliamentary group Union for a Europe of Nations (UEN), to which the DF belonged. She was also an employee of the German MEP Mogens Camre .

After she ran for the first time unsuccessfully for the European Parliament in the European elections in 2004 , she was elected to the regional council of the Hovedstaden region in 2005 . In the European elections in Denmark in 2009 , she was able to secure second place in the DF list behind the top- polling candidate Morten Messerschmidt and entered the European Parliament. Since the UEN dissolved after the election, the DF joined the new Eurosceptic Group on Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD). Rosbach became a member of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety .

On March 8, 2011, Rosbach surprisingly resigned from the DF and also left the EFD. She stated that she had been dissatisfied with the party's policy and rhetoric for some time. In future she wants to pursue a moderately anti-federalist, reform-oriented agenda together with her new group, European Conservatives and Reformers . She later joined the Miljøpartiet focus , which, however, did not run for the following European elections.
