What is Europe Direct?
If you have a question about Europe, then we can help you find an answer. Europe Direct is a general information service, providing information on matters related to Europe and the European Union. For more complex questions, we can direct you to relevant specialist information services.
The main objectives of the Europe Direct network are to -
- Enable local citizens to obtain information, advice, assistance and answers to questions about the European Union’s institutions, legislation, policies, programmes and funding opportunities
- Actively promote local and regional debate about the European Union and its policies
- Allow the European institutions to improve the dissemination of information tailored to local and regional needs
- Give the public the opportunity to send feedback to the European Union institutions in the form of questions, opinions and suggestions.
