About EUROPA

- links to EU information on the websites of EU institutions and agencies.
Who runs this site?
The site is run by the Communication department of the European Commission on behalf of the EU institutions.

Signposts to EU information and services
The EU is one of the largest publishers of online information in the world and the hunt for information can seem complex. Every day a huge range of information goes online, including legislation, statistics, press releases, policy reports and more.
All EU institutions and agencies have their own websites. EU offices in each of the member countries and in countries around the world also have their own sites. Other online services address a range of topics, from finding a company’s VAT number to ordering EU publications and helping people looking for jobs abroad.
On this site we try to provide signposts to this information. We have tried to categorise this information in a clear way and we have provided descriptions of what you can expect to find behind each link.

Europa.eu is designed for you. We work with website users to make the site structure and language of this site as clear as possible, but we are constantly looking at ways of improving.
