Carl Schlyter (born January 7, 1968 in Danderyd , Sweden ) is a Swedish politician of the Greens and from 2004 to 2018 a member of the European Parliament in the Greens / EFA group .

After studying chemistry at the Royal Technical University in Stockholm from 1987 to 1994, Schlyter became political secretary of the Swedish Greens. From 1996 he worked as a member of parliament in the European Parliament , where from 1997 to 2004 he was an advisor to the Group of the Greens / EFA in the Committee on Budgetary Control.

In the 2004 European elections , Schlyter himself was elected as a parliamentarian. He was a member of the committee for environmental issues, public health and food safety , where he worked, among other things, for the Greens on the drafting of the chemicals regulation REACH . He also held various party offices: since 2000 he was a member of the board of the Swedish Greens, since 2001 a representative of his party in the European Green Party and since 2002 in the Global Greens .

Schlyter left the Green Party on January 17, 2019 in disagreement about the formation of a government . He justified his step with the fact that the opposition would come from even further to the right in the future if the red-green minority government pursued a policy of social division, as is evident in the government agreements.
