In case you're wondering, the EPP is the EU parliamentary group co-founded and adhered to by Fine Gael, Heather Humphrey's party.

Be in no doubt: a vote for her on Friday is a vote against nature.
EPP in coalition with far-right groups once again joined forces to attack environmental ambition in the EU, voting down the EU’s proposed law on forest monitoring, calling on the Commission to withdraw the proposal entirely. www.euractiv.com/news/europea...
