The Greens/European Free Alliance (Greens/EFA) is the political group of the European Parliament composed primarily of green and regionalist political parties.[6][7][8]
Formed following the 1999 European elections for the 5th European Parliament, the Greens/EFA group now consists of three distinct European political parties, namely the larger European Green Party (EGP) and the European Free Alliance (EFA)[9] and the smaller European Pirate Party. The EFA consists of parties representing stateless nations, regionalist and minority political interests. The group has generally limited its membership to progressive parties.[10] These European parties are joined by MEPs from non-aligned national parties, which have included the Dutch Europe Transparent (2004–2009) and the Swedish (2009–2014), German (2014–) and Czech (2019–) Pirate Parties.[11]
