EP INTERGROUPS
Intergroups can be formed by Members from any political group and any committee, with a view to holding informal exchanges of views on particular subjects and promoting contact between Members and civil society. Intergroups are not Parliament bodies and therefore may not express Parliament's opinion.
Intergroups are subject to internal rules, which set out the conditions under which intergroups may be established at the beginning of each parliamentary term and their operating rules. Chairs of intergroups are required to declare any support they receive in cash or kind, according to the same criteria applicable to Members as individuals. The declarations must be updated every year and are filed in a public register held by the Quaestors.
