  2. The European Union on your doorstep: new generation of information relays launched From 1 May 2005anyone looking for information about the EU can turn to a new set of local outlets called the “EUROPE DIRECT Information Network”. The network, spread throughout the Union, takes over from the Info-Points Europe and Carrefours, which traditionally provided the public with facts and figures on EU-related matters on the urban and rural areas respectively. Franco Stibiel

  6. Europe Direct information relays EUROPE DIRECT information relays act as an interface between citizens and the Union at local level. The mission of the network is to: • enable local citizens to obtain information, advice, assistance and answers to questions about the European Union’s institutions, legislation, policies, programmes and funding opportunities; • actively promote local and regional debate about the European Union and its policies; • allow the European institutions to improve the dissemination of information tailored to local and regional needs; • give the public the opportunity to send feedback to the European Union institutions in the form of questions, opinions and suggestions. Franco Stibiel

  7. The new information centres – 393, and for the first time also in the new member states - offer a range of services, including guides to EU law, programmes and policies, treaty texts (including the European Constitution), a public feedback mechanism (a question, comment or opinion that a citizen would like to pass to the Commission in writing) and a freephone to the EUROPE DIRECT centre on 00800 6 7 8 9 10 11. Many will also provide a TV showing “Europe by Satellite”, enabling the public to keep abreast of the latest EU news as it happens. The relays are typically chamber of commerce or local authorities. Franco Stibiel

  8. Europe Direct Trieste The former Info Point Europa Trieste (IPE) is run by the Municipality of Trieste on agreement with the European Commission. It is part of the municipality bureau of information and is coordinated by U.R.P. (Ufficio Relazioni con il Pubblico – Public Relation Bureau). It was inaugurated on June 23rd 1999. This network is turning “old”  as the first 17 were set up in 1994. Nowadays they number 393 in the Eu. 39 in Italy, practically two in every region. Check on the web site to find their addresses: http://europa.eu.int/comm/relays/ed_en.htm Franco Stibiel

  9. We in Trieste… ...know the E.U. main themes quite well and will always do our best to answer your questions immediately.  But… sometimes even our expertise could be at loss. Why? There is just too much information available, that is why.  Do not despair, though. In case we would not be able to answer at once we will strive and help you to find the information you need. Franco Stibiel

  10. …have many free publications : official documents, magazines, leaflets, maps, CDs, videocassettes, posters and other material published by the Publications Bureau of the European Commission. And we can consult together even the few databases that are not free. Franco Stibiel

  11. …we are experts on the YOUTH PROGRAMME, run promotional campaigns in the region regularly, publish one booklet a year and our staff can manage several foreign languages. Franco Stibiel
