To celebrate Europe Day, the EU institutions opened their doors to the public on 6 May in Brussels and across Europe and the world. ECFIN welcomed visitors to the Berlaymont Building in Brussels where its stand marked 15 years of euro coins and banknotes, and presented how the EU is supporting investment in Europe through the EUR 315 billion European Investment Plan. The stand also provided visitors with the latest information on how the EU and the euro area have strengthened their economic coordination over the past several years. ECFIN staff members were on hand to answer questions on the economic governance framework and discuss the roadmap laid out by the European institutions to further deepen the EMU. The stand was very interactive; it featured audio-visual displays, touch screens and a variety of activities and games for adults and children. Visitors learned about the history of the EMU by playing a magnetic game, discovered the coin designs of the 19 euro area countries and even could press their own souvenir medals.
