The European Commission has offices, called Representations, in all the Member States of the European Union. The UK Representation is in London; there are also Offices in Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh.
Their chief duties are:
-
Speaking for the Commission as its voice in the UK. This includes providing background briefings for the media as well as on-the-record comment on issues relevant to the Commission.
-
Reporting back to the Commission in Brussels on political, economic and social developments in the UK.
-
Providing information about the European Union across the UK through recognised outlets such as public libraries, business advice centres and education services.
