The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (French: Alliance des Démocrates et des Libéraux pour l'Europe) is a Group in the European Parliament. It is composed of members from the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party, European Democratic Party and assorted independents.
Foundation
The meeting of the Parliamentary Group of the liberal democrat European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party which took place in Brussels on July 13, 2004 approved a recommendation to unite in a new group with MEPs of the European Democratic Party founded by François Bayrou's UDF, the Lithuanian Labour Party and the Italian Margherita. The two European political parties remain separate parties outside the European Parliament. The group, as originally constituted, comprised 88 members.
The founding Group meeting of ALDE-ADLE, which immediately followed the ELDR meeting, elected Graham Watson MEP of the British Liberal Democrats as Group Leader. It also adopted a 10-point 'Program for Europe'.
Program

- Opening up & democratising the European Union
- Guaranteeing the fundamental rights of all European citizens
- Promoting education at all levels.
- Strengthening economic governance after the introduction of the Euro.
- Rooting out fraud and unnecessary bureaucracy
- Making Europe the world leader in environmental protection.
- Making globalisation work for everyone.
- Ensuring a full recognition and enhancement of the role of Europe’s regions
