EU information and assistance services

Summary:

Booklet providing information on EU information and assistance services available to EU citizens and businesses.

Further information:

European Union (EU) citizens and businesses must be informed effectively about their rights and the opportunities arising from the EU. In order to do this in the most direct and efficient way possible, the European Commission has set up a series of services in partnership with various actors in the Member States. The services interact with the public at national, regional and local levels, responding to requests for information or assistance. They play an important role in communicating with citizens and businesses, but also in listening to their feedback and learning from their needs.

This booklet brings together information on 22 EU services currently operating in the Member States. Each service offers tailor-made support in a particular area, ranging from general information about the EU to more specific topics such as how to find a job, a business partner or funding for a project in Europe. With this booklet, the Commission tries to guide citizens and businesses to the most appropriate service for their enquiry.
