"United in diversity" is the motto of the European Union. We recognize and respect every nation, its language and cultural differences. In the European Union House, we create a united European open space by giving opportunity to get information, acquire knowledge, express oneself and participate in events.

The doors of the EU House were opened for everyone in 2010. Here you can participate in different events free of charge: discussions about issues that are important for Latvia and the EU, informative seminars and lessons, creative workshops, cinema evenings, and performances.

Eiropas Parlamenta ēka

European Parliament

The European Parliament is an important forum for political debate and decision-making at the EU level.

All 720 Members of the European Parliament are directly elected by voters in all Member States. This represents the EU’s 448 million inhabitants’ interests with regard to EU law-making and helps to ensure that the other EU institutions work in a democratic way. 

The official seat of the European Parliament is in Strasbourg, France; its committees meet in the capital of Belgium - Brussels. 


Eiropas Komisijas ēka

European Commission

The European Commission is a politically independent EU executive arm. Its task is to promote the EU's general interest, propose and apply legislation, and implement policies and use the EU budget. It implements the decisions of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.

The political leadership is provided by a team of 27 Commissioners (one from each EU Member State), under the direction of the President of the Commission, who decides which policy area the Commissioner is responsible for.

The headquarters of the European Commission is in Brussels, Belgium. It has representation offices in all the EU capitals.
