Biographical or historical data

The Socialist Group of the European Parliament was established on 23 June 1953 by the parliamentary socialists of the six member States of the European Coal and Steel Community. In 1957, a liaison office was created to maintain contact between the Group and the socialist parties of member countries. Following the first enlargement of the European Community in 1973, the Confédération des Partis socialistes de la CE (CPSCE) was established to strengthen cooperation between all members of the European socialist parties. In 1975, with the arrival of the Labour Party delegation at the European Parliament, the Group became the most numerically important, holding the chairmanship of 4 of the 12 parliamentary committees (including the Committee on Economic and Budget). In 1992, the Confederation disappears in favour of the Party of European Socialists (PES). This reform was made possible by the new provisions on political parties provided by the Maastricht Treaty (Art. 138A) at European level. The Group carries out the election of officers at the beginning of each constitutive session of Parliament. The first president was Guy Mollet. Thirteen other presidents, including two women, succeeded him.
