It is made up of MEPs from two European political parties, the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (formerly the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party) and the European Democratic Party, which collectively form the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe. ALDE is one of the three oldest Groups, dating its unofficial origin back to September 1952 and the first meeting of the Parliament's predecessor, the Common Assembly. Founded as an explicitly Liberal Group, it has expanded its remit to cover the different centrist traditions of each new Member State as they acceded to the Union, progressively changing its name in the process. It is the fourth-largest Group in the Parliament and did participate in the ''Grand Coalition'' (the coalition designed to provide a majority) for the Sixth Parliament (2004–2009). The pro-European platform of ALDE espouses neoliberal economics and support for European integration and the European single market. ==History== The ALDE Group can trace its unofficial ancestry back to the Liberal members present at the first meeting of the Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community (the Parliament's predecessor) on 10 September 1952,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Composition of the Common Assembly (10–13 September 1952) )〕 but the Group was officially founded as the ''Group of Liberals and Allies'' on 23 June 1953.〔 As the Assembly grew into the Parliament, the French Gaullists split from the Group on 21 January 1965 and the Group started the process of changing its name to match the liberal/centrist traditions of the new member states, firstly to the ''Liberal and Democratic Group''〔 in 1976,〔 then to the ''Liberal and Democratic Reformist Group'' on 13 December 1985,〔 then to the Group of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party〔〔 on 19 July 1994〔 to match the European political party of the same name. In 1999, the Group partnered with European People's Party–European Democrats (EPP-ED) group to form the ''Grand Coalition'' for the Fifth Parliament. The customary split of the Presidency of the European Parliament between Groups in the Coalition meant that the Group achieved its first President of the European Parliament on 15 January 2002, when Pat Cox was elected to the post to serve the latter half of the five-year term. The Group lost its Grand Coalition status after the 2004 elections. On 13 July 2004 the Group approved a recommendation to unite with MEPs from the centrist and social-liberal political party at the European level called the European Democratic Party (EDP) founded by François Bayrou's Union for French Democracy, the Labour Party of Lithuania and Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy of Italy. The Group accordingly became the ''Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe''〔 (ALDE) on 20 July 2004,〔 to match the eponymous transnational political alliance, although the two European-level parties remained separate outside the European Parliament. The MEP Graham Watson of the British Liberal Democrats became the first chair of ALDE. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
