The Union for Europe (UFE) was a conservative political group in the European Parliament that existed from 1995 to 1999. The group was formed during the 4th European Parliament term in July 1995 from a merger of the European Democratic Alliance and Forza Europa parliamentary groups,[3][4] becoming the third largest group by number of MEPs.[5] The group was succeeded in the 5th European Parliament by the Union for Europe of the Nations (UEN),[6] while key UFE member parties Forza Italia and Rally for the Republic instead joined the European People's Party.[3]
