The Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce was delighted to host an open evening to highlight the services Europe Direct can offer. The Information Centre is located at Capital House, 2 Festival Square, Edinburgh. We were delighted to welcome Jacqueline Minor, the European Commission’s Head of Representation in the United Kingdom as our guest speaker and she spoke about why the information centre is a fantastic resource for the people and businesses of Edinburgh and beyond.
Europe Direct Edinburgh is open Monday – Friday 9am until 5pm. We have leaflets, brochures and materials to take away about the European Union’s activities and policies. There is also free phone access to the Europe Direct call centre and free internet access gives you easy access to EU websites.
She said “At Europe Direct Edinburgh people can obtain information, advice, assistance and answers to questions about the EU’s institutions, legislation, policies, programmes and funding opportunities for their business or organisation. Details of schemes and programmes in other areas such as jobs, research, education, health, the environment and equal opportunities are also available”.

The centre can help with general questions on every aspect of Europe and can put people in touch with relevant specialist services if required. It also organises events and activities to make the public aware of activity and changes within the European Union.
