[edit] History

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

[edit] Nomenclature

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