NGL's component parties are not aligned with the pan-European Green Party or their Greens-EFA parliamentary group; they instead have roots in communism.

 European Anti-Capitalist Left meets again   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The conference had on its agenda: the situation of the left in Europe; the policies of the EU; a common political declaration; the counter-summit in Copenhagen during the upcoming Danish presidency; and a point of information on the general strike in Spain and the mobilisations in Seville.
The anti-capitalist left commits itself to developing the best possible contacts and collaboration with the east European left, which is active in social, political, trade unionist, feminist, environmentalist, anti-racist, pro-peace and anti-war and citizens' movements.
Facing the EU, its structures and policies, facing the advanced Europeanisation of the instruments at the disposal of the ruling classes, and the pitiful incapacity of the social-liberal leaderships of the labour and trade union movements, this anti-capitalist left must urgently adopt and propose a European-wide perspective.

 PRESS CONFERENCE BY EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
Addressing the threat of anthrax, she speculated that it was probably hidden along Iraq’s long border with Iran, where Al-Qaeda was known to operate.  Citing a scenario put forth by the Central Intelligence Agency, she said that an invasion of Iraq might only provoke Mr.
Hussein into giving his anthrax supplies to that terrorist organization.  She also found it problematic that the United States would invade Iraq, but not North Korea.  That would give the message that, if a country developed nuclear weapons, it would be safe from invasion.
de Rossa added that, whereas Europe supported multilateral approaches, the United States seemed inclined to act unilaterally.  In that context, he called for a partnership of equals between the United States and Europe, as opposed to the United States desire to be “the boss”.
