Europa-Union parliamentary group German Bundestag
The European Union Parliamentary Group of the German Bundestag ( EUD PG DB ) is a parliamentary group of the non-partisan Europa-Union Germany , which was founded on July 4, 2007.
Goals and work
The aim of the group is the Europeanization of the German Bundestag : European policy will increasingly determine domestic German specialist policy.

The work of the Europa-Union parliamentary group takes the form of events and political initiatives. In 2010, the group organized a joint, non-partisan evaluation of the new possibilities for the German Bundestag to participate in the framework of the Lisbon Treaty, together with the Europa-Union parliamentary group European Parliament .
