The list was initially excluded because it had not picked up the 30,000 signatures necessary for the candidacy in each of the five Italian districts.[2] The list has subsequently been readmitted to the electoral competition following a provision of the Court of Cassation that recognized the exemption from the obligation of a harvest of the signatures because the list is already an expression of the present European Green Party in the European Parliament.[3]
The list finally got 0.9% of the vote and no seats in the European Parliament. However, it came fifth with 6.0% among Italians abroad, with particularly good results in Austria (12.2%), Spain (8.8%), and France (7.5%).[4]
