History

In 1989 [1] [2] the Rainbow Group split, with the Greens forming a group called "The Green Group in the European Parliament", and the Regionalists remaining within a continuing but diminished Rainbow Group. The Greens and Regionalists stayed within separate parliamentary groups until 1999, [1] [3] when the two Groups reunited under the European Greens–European Free Alliance banner. [3]

Nomenclature

The group's formal name was "The Green Group in the European Parliament", [4] [5] [6] not the "Green Group in the European Parliament". Unlike other groups, "The" was part of the formal name of the group.

The European Free Alliance (EFA) is a European political party that consists of various regionalist, separatist and ethnic minority political parties in Europe. Member parties advocate either for full political independence and sovereignty, or some form of devolution or self-governance for their country or region. The party has generally limited its membership to centre-left and left-wing parties; therefore, only a fraction of European regionalist parties are members of the EFA.
