In 2017 the City of Maastricht, the Province of Limburg and Maastricht University commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Maastricht Treaty by means of a series of events under the heading Europe Calling. The debate on the role of EU agencies in the future Europe takes place within the framework of the Europe Calling programme. The debate aims to discuss questions such as: do EU agencies need to be controlled more or better, are EU agencies sufficiently transparent, do EU agencies need to be spread geographically all over the EU and many other questions.

Please find more information about the debate and registration on our EU agencies webpage.
