To be honest I didn't know about the group's existence until a year ago (ignorance is not always bliss), but it's a forum for local and regional politicians to meet and discuss EU politics. It's an interesting organization because many EU decisions impact greatly on the local level - and the PES Group is a chance for local and regional social democrats to meet and work together to influence EU policies.
