The European Parliament (EP) is the legislative branch of the European Union (EU) and is made up of several political groups. Among these groups, the European People's Party (EPP) is the largest group in the European Parliament, with each member nation of the EU having at least one national party in the EPP (e.g., Germany's Christian Democratic Union, France's Les Republicains).
