Nanne, if you read Spanish I suggest you take a look at "Libertad Digital". This is what the self-described "pro-European centre-right" looks like in Spain. I think you may be thinking of the CDU which seems not to be half as rabid as Spain's PP. Nothing is 'mere'. — Richard P. Feynman
The Dutch counterpart of the CDU is the CDA, from which Balkenende himself comes. They are as center-right as you can be while being on the right wing in the Netherlands (the balance having shifted somewhat).
The French UMP is also fairly center-right, I think. Here too it is the person (Sarkozy) who on the right wing of the party, from which you also have de Villepin.
