European Parliamentary Labour Party

In the Politics of the European Union the European Parliamentary Labour Party (EPLP) is the parliamentary party of the Labour Party in the European Parliament. The EPLP is an integral part of the Socialist and Democrats (S&D) Group in the European Parliament and of the Labour Party.

Labour has 20 Members of the European Parliament. The EPLP sits as part of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) in the European Parliament, but it has its own leadership and spokespeople representing Britain in Brussels and Strasbourg.

British Labour MEPs hold key positions in the Socialist and Democrats Group in the European Parliament, a pan national group of which the Labour Party is a member. Committee co-ordinators operate as spokespeople for the S&D Group in the European Parliament in their respective committee; they co-ordinate decisions on policy with each of the different national groups that make up the S&D Group in the European Parliament.

Two Labour Party MEPs are Committee co-ordinators:

International Trade Committee: David Martin MEP

Committee of Inquiry into Emission Measurements in the Automotive Sector: Seb Dance MEP

Civil Liberties, Justice: Claude Moraes MEP

Overseas Development: Linda McAvan MEP
