Bundestag group
A parliamentary group , according to § 10 para. 4 of the Rules of Procedure of the German Bundestag in the German Bundestag shall be recognized if its members do not reach the minimum fraction strength.
A Bundestag group can be formed by members of a party who move into the Bundestag without jumping the five percent hurdle . This was the case after the 1990 Bundestag election when there were separate electoral areas for East and West Germany. The Alliance 90 and the PDS moved into the Bundestag, but each made up less than five percent of the Bundestag members. After the Bundestag election in 1994, the PDS formed a group again, this time on the basis of the basic mandate clause .
Other groups in the Bundestag
Other examples of Bundestag groups are regional groups within the Bundestag parliamentary groups .
Cross-factional groupings, on the other hand, are parliamentary groups , such as the Parliamentary Group on Rail Transport (PGS), the Parliamentary Group Inland Shipping (PGBi) and the Parliamentary Group Free Flowing Rivers (PG FfF), and parliamentary groups such as the European Union Parliamentary Group of the German Bundestag (EUD PG DB) .
