Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present an overview of the programs and results in the European Parliament elections of parties originating from the environmental movement and to analyse the structure of the Greens/Greens-EFA faction's milieuin the years 1989-2019. The study applied methodological assumptions of social network analysis, which made it possible to conduct a statistical, quantitative analysis of the structure consisting of all the representatives of the Greens/Greens-EFA faction. Two hypotheses were formulated in the paper: H1 -the most prominent positions in the structure are held by German MEPs, which stems from the fact that they are the most numerous group comprising the successive factions created/co-created by the Greens; H2 -the position of British MEPs in the network is not significant due to the fact that their number was low throughout the period examined.The results of the conducted analysis allow us to conclude that both hypotheses were not confirmed.
