The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) in the European Parliament, chaired by Graham Watson MEP (UK Liberal Democrat) this evening approved the admission of Austrian MEP Karin Resetarits who has so far been sitting with non-aligned members of the Parliament.

"I am pleased to announce the decision of the ALDE group this evening, following a positive recommendation from the Bureau earlier today, to welcome Karin Resetarits into the family of Liberals and Democrats in the European Parliament. We are increasing our membership numerically, geographically and in influence in this House. The addition of an Austrian deputy will further extend the reach of our activities to another Member State and bring a further national dimension to our work" declared Graham Watson.

The decision will take effect as of today, 8th June.

ALDE will hold a press conference in Brussels with Karin Resetarits next Wednesday 15th June in Brussels.
