The European Conservatives Group and Democratic Alliance (EC/DA) is a conservative group in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
It was founded as the Group of Independent Representatives in 1970 by British and Scandinavian members of PACE.
It has 76 members from countries including the United Kingdom, Austria, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Sweden and Italy.
On 6 July 1978, a proposal to rename the group was submitted, leading to the new name in September 1980.
For many years the Russian political party United Russia was a member of the European Democrat Group.
