The Greens/European Free Alliance (Greens/EFA) is the political group in the European Parliament containing green, regionalist and nationalist political parties.[4][5][6] The group was formed following the 1999 European elections for the 5th European Parliament.

The Greens/EFA group consists of two distinct European political parties – the European Green Party (EGP) and the European Free Alliance (EFA). [7] The EFA consists of parties representing stateless nations, regionalist and minority political interests. The Alliance has generally limited its membership to progressive parties.[8] These European parties are joined by MEPs from non-aligned national parties, which have included the Dutch Europe Transparent (2004–2009) and the Swedish Pirate Party (2009–2014).[9]
