At your service
The European Parliament works for the benefit of all Europeans. Whichever way you want to get involved - whether by following developments, working with us or providing feedback - the Parliament is there for you.
Stay informed
Does the European Parliament seem very far from where you live? Stay informed about what is happening in the Parliament through our information pages and document services. You can also contact our liaison office in your country, where everything is available in your own language.
Be heard
Do you have something to say? Then make your voice heard. Petition the Parliament if you think that EU laws are being breached where you are or contact the European Ombudsman if you need a mediator. You can also call for new laws directly by launching a citizens’ initiative together with others.
Work with us
Are you interested in experiencing the Parliament up close, for example by working there? Check out the possibilities for becoming our colleague, joining us as a trainee, or taking part in a study visit.
Transparency and ethics
As the European Parliament grows in importance and influence, it is more vital than ever that it represents the interests of Europeans in a fully open and transparent manner. Find out more about how we work.
Our premises
We invite you not only to visit us, but also to organise your own events on our premises. Find out more about what we can offer you, as well as the accreditation you need and our rules on data protection and security when you enter one of our buildings.
Visit the Parliament
Come and see for yourself how proposals become law and where your MEP has a say on the future of Europe. We offer a range of activities in Brussels and Strasbourg, so that whether you come alone, with your family, or in a group, there's something for you.
