EFA/The Greens - Definition

The European Greens - European Free Alliance (The Greens/European Free Alliance; Greens/EFA; French: Le Groupe Verts/Alliance libre européenne; Les Verts/ALE, German Fraktion der Grünen/Freie Europäische Allianz) is one of the parliamentary groups in the European Parliament.

This group consists of two distinct European political parties - the European Greens and the European Free Alliance. The EFA consists of what it describes as stateless nations. These parties are separatists of the centre and centre-left.

Before February 2004, the European Greens existed as an coalition known as the European Federation of Green Parties rather than a formal political party. Thus, the group was knows as the EFGP-EFA.
