European Union

The purpose of the Delegation is to help improve the mutual understanding and information between the EU and Australia. In this spirit we hope to provide you with a fast and efficient way to access quality information about the European Union's goals and its activities in the region.

On our site you will find various avenues for:

• news@eu, a weekly email newsletter covering current issues and events related to the European Union with a particular focus on the EU's bilateral relations with Australia;
• Our latest media releases on specific EU issues and decisions;
• EU Insight, a single-topic publication produced several times a year;
• Topical documents relating to the Delegation's relations with Australia including speeches, details of new agreements and background notes relating to issues of the day;

While the Delegation’s site is certainly the first place to look for information about specific EU-Australia or EU-New Zealand matters, the internet is about connecting resources. A wealth of broader information can be found on the Europa server based in Brussels http://europa.eu. Europa maintains the EU's chief internet presence in a variety of EU languages and is updated daily. Europa also contains links to EU related sites. You are encouraged to utilise this valuable resource to expand your knowledge of the European Union and to keep abreast of the latest developments.

There are also links to related websites such as the EU member states and Europe Centres at various universities.

Please enjoy exploring our website, and let us know if you think there is anything that can be improved.
