Table of political parties in Europe by pancontinental organisation

The majority of major local or national political parties in Europe have aligned themselves into one of the pan-European political organizations.

13 of these pan-European organizations have been legally recognized by the European Union as political parties at the European level:^{[citation needed]}

As of February 2020, there are 10 registered Europarties^[1]

History[]

In October 2014, the regulation (EU, EURATOM) No 1141/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the statute and funding of European political parties and European political foundations lays down the conditions governing the statute and funding of political parties at European level ('European political parties') and political foundations at European level ('European political foundations'). Chapters of this regulations focus on status, funding, control and sanctions.^[4]

Political parties in Europe[]

The Nordic Green Left Alliance is a transnational federation of parties, not a pan-European political party per se, but it articulates a broadly uniform ideology and its membership is exclusive to it. As such, it is treated akin to one here.

Parties represented in national parliaments or the European Parliament are generally included in the below chart, while independents have been omitted. Great ideological diversity can be found in most pan-European organizations, and individual country rows may not correspond with the heuristic left-right spectrum commonly used within its own political discourse.
