 European Green Party -
The first goal of the newly founded European Greens was the election campaign for the European Parliament in June, 2004 (see European Parliament Election 2004), which was the first election campaign in Europe that featured similar motifs and slogans in all EU countries.
Critics have suggested that the European Greens do not yet amount to a single party: in particular the different national components have a widely different approach to the European Union ranging from strong eurofederalist forces to eurosceptics.

The Green Group in the European Parliament became the Green Group in the European Parliament/European Free Alliance (Greens/EFA) in recognition of the alliance formed between the Greens and various home rule parties.
This shift to the Right was partly explained by the fact that there were Centre Left governments in most EU member states, and EP elections are often used by voters as opportunities to indicate dissatisfaction with governmental performance.
In addition to bringing about changes in the composition of Parliament's political groups, the elections also stimulated - as EP elections customarily do - some changes in the nature of the groups.
