Non-attached members, also known by the French termNon-Inscrits ([nɔn‿ɛ̃skʁi],NI), aremembers of the European Parliament (MEPs) who do not belong to one of the recognisedpolitical groups, which as May 2025 consisted of 8 groups ranging fromleft-wing tofar-right in their political positions.
These MEPs may be members of a national party, or of aEuropean political party; however, for a political grouping to be formed in the European Parliament there need to be 23 MEPs from seven countries. Being part of a group grants access to state funds and committee seats, but the group members must be ideologically tied. Groups of convenience, such as theTechnical Group of Independents, previously existed, but are no longer allowed, and the minimum requirements for group formation have been raised, forcing parties and MEPs without ideological similarity to already existing groupings to sit as non-inscrits. Whilst some groups of MEPs who sit as non-inscrits may share similar views and express an intention to form new groupings between themselves in the future, non-inscrits as a whole have no specific ties to each other, other than their mutual lack of a political grouping.

Prior to theUnited Kingdom'swithdrawal from the EU on 31 January 2020, there were 30 British MEPs who were Non-Inscrits: 29 members of theBrexit Party and 1 member of theDemocratic Unionist Party.
The number of Non-Inscrits rose temporarily from 48 at the beginning of the term to 100 between 16 and 20 October 2014 when theEFDD group dissolved following the departure of Latvian MEPIveta Grigule. The EFDD group was restored whenRobert Iwaszkiewicz (KNP, Poland) decided to join it.
On 15 June 2015, 35 Non-Inscrits MEPs and a former EFDD member (Janice Atkinson, excluded fromUKIP) formed a new group, named "Europe of Nations and Freedom" (ENF), aroundMarine Le Pen (FN) andMarcel de Graaff (PVV), later joined on 24 June 2015 byAymeric Chauprade. The number of Non-Inscrits then fell to 14 on 22 July 2015, whenJuan Fernando López Aguilar reintegratedS&D.Aymeric Chauprade left ENF on 9 November 2015.Marcus Pretzell was expelled fromECR before joining theENF in May 2016, bringing the number of Non-Inscrits to 15.
