A few years later, in 1997, after Sweden had joined the Union, I was involved in putting together the PPE Group's youth organisation, Youth of EPP, and I myself became its first chairman.
Mõned aastat hiljem, 1997, kui Rootsi oli Euroopa Liiduga ühinenud, tegelesin ma fraktsiooni PPE noorteorganisatsiooni YEPP kokkupanemisega ja sain ise selle esimeseks esimeheks.
