Europe Direct East Midlands

The purpose of Europe Direct East Midlands (North) is to engage with the public on European Union (EU) topics of relevance at a local and regional level, promote dialogue on EU issues and cooperate with local information networks.

Keeping the public informed about the EU is particularly important whilst the UK remains in a period in which Article 50 (the mechanism for leaving the EU) is extended and any transitional period that would result in the Withdrawal Agreement being approved. We will try to keep people informed about any topics relating to EU institutions, legislation, programmes and general information about the EU, ‘EU Basics.’

During the next 12 months we have prioritised:

• Keeping the public informed about Brexit.
• Providing up to date information to EU Citizens residing in the UK.
• Ensuring young people are informed about the EU.
