Summary/Abstract: The article discusses factors, determining loyalty of the European Parliament mem¬bers, which is marginalized in most of researches on the European Parliament. The initial assumption holds that as given the rates of loyalty to the national states are high it is groundless to assess it as a neutral variable. Loyalty of the European Parliament members to national states can significantly contribute to the studies of European Parliament’s internal relations and power contribution.
