At an upcoming exhibition at the European Parliament, the EU agencies will be explaining to MEPs what they do, why they exist and how they impact on the lives of Europe
European agencies have been set up in successive waves since the mid-1970s and today form an important part of the EU’s institutional landscape. Responding to needs identified by the EU and its Member States, they perform a variety of legal, technical and scientific tasks across a broad range of policy areas.The purpose of this exhibition at the European Parliament is to raise awareness among MEPs on the role and activities of the EU agencies. Through thematic clusters, the agencies will demonstrate how they:• make Europe a safe, healthy and sustainable place to live and work;• work for a free, fair and safe Europe;• support the European vision for more jobs, improved lives and a better society; and• help keep Europe moving around the clock.
