British Conservative MP Robert Walter was today unanimously elected as the new Chairman of the European Democrat Group (EDG), currently the third largest of the five political groups in the Parliamentary Assembly. The Vice-Chairpersons are Konstantin Kosachev (Russian Federation) and Karin Woldseth (Norway).
“It is a great honour for me to be entrusted with this difficult but challenging task,” Mr Walter said. “I am looking forward working closely together with my colleagues from the four other political groups and of course with the President of the Assembly, who is also a member of our group.”
