History
In 1989 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, when the two Groups reunited under the European Greens–European Free Alliance banner.
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.
