All-party parliamentary group

At the beginning of an election period of the German Bundestag are constituted on the basis of Council Decision Oldest bilateral and multilateral parliamentary friendship groups. Parliamentary groups have the goal to promote parliamentary level through conferences, fact-finding missions, trade events and through personal contacts with parliamentarians from other countries, the international relations of the Bundestag.

The concept of Parliamentarians is not clearly defined in the German parliamentary law. A group of parliamentarians is in common usage, an association of parliamentarians. The Parliamentary Group in the German Bundestag are, therefore, strictly speaking, also parliamentarian groups, and could use that title. To avoid confusion with the bilateral and multilateral parliamentary friendship groups, but for example, the Parliamentary Group IWT and the Parliamentary group have waived free -flowing rivers on the name of Parliamentarians. In older protocols of the German Bundestag is found, for example, occasionally the term Parliamentary Group IWT instead Parliamentary Group Inland Navigation ".
