Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the ‘presence’ of urban policy on the forum of the European Parliament (EP) in 1994–2019. The research based on the use of the analysis of EPs and EuPPs documents proves that the political affiliation of the MEPs does not determine their activity focused on urban policy. It is therefore difficult to grasp the relationship between the MEPs activity and the fact of belonging to a particular EPPG, the ‘size’ (representation) of EPPGs, as well as the actions conducted by EuPPs. The research results lead to the search for other determinants of the activity of MEPs.
