    Let \(\Gamma\) (G,H) be the groupoid of germs of left translations of a Lie group G over a homogeneous space G/H. For a compact manifold V and any universal characteristic class x in the continuous cohomology of the groupoid, one considers all the Haefliger \(\Gamma\) (G,H)-structures on V and the associated set of the cohomology classes which are images of x. It is shown that in some cases the cardinality of the set does not exceed the number of connected components of \(Hom(\pi_ 1(V),G)\).
