GRÜNE LIGA addresses regional and national topics related to environmental protection but also beyond. To work on federal conservation policies, GRÜNE LIGA’ expert working groups are divided according to their expertise and field of work. These expert groups represent GRÜNE LIGA in public debates and coordinate and steward topics of their field within the association.

The status of Expert Working Group is assigned by the Annual Members Meeting.

The expert working groups have specific rules of procedure, which can be viewed here.

• Expert Working Group on Agro-Genetic Engineering
