European Commission Representation in LuxembourgThe European Commission Representation in Luxembourg is established in the Maison de l’Union européenne, in Luxembourg City. The representation is the European Commission’s local presence in Luxembourg. The Commission has representations in all of the 27 EU Member States’ capital cities, together with several regional offices in the larger Member States. The representation’s role is to act as a link between the Commission and Luxembourg, in particular by informing interested parties and the general public about the Commission’s proposals and EU policies. It does so by organising a great variety of events each year, mostly online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
