Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
THE EUROPEANS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD serve the more than five million European nationals living in Europe in another country than their own and the tens of millions of Europeans living elsewhere in the world. One of the statutory aims of The Europeans Throughout the World is to act as a Spokesman for the European expatriates towards all authorities and to be their defender.
Its objectives in summary are to:
- Promote international collaboration between the associations of nationals residing abroad and foster development of such associations.
- Advance the study and knowledge in the widest sense of the rights and duties of the Europeans abroad and to act towards all authorities as their spokesman and defender.
- Perform studies and joint activities in the spirit of the European Union, and disseminate information.
- Contribute to international life and bring together the people.

Other (financial) information provided by the organisation:
|
The total budget comes from membership subscriptions and covers the basic running and office expenses, with no salaries as all staff are voluntary unpaid officers.
From time to time we organise projects or conferences, on condition that we are successful in obtaining grants from member organisations, national or EU authorities. In these cases the extra budget obtained is spent entirely on the projects concerned. In 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 there was no such project.
