By means of EUROPE DIRECT Rijeka and the Rijeka Development Agency Porin, Rijeka will host two unique events this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, March 16th and 17th, promote individual programmes and initiatives of the European Union.
“Shipping the EU Single Market”, Saturday and Sunday, 16 and 17 March from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Square of the 128th Brigade of the Croatian Army
With over 447 million citizens and 23 million businesses, the EU single market is proud to stand out as the largest single market in the world. Today, as we mark its 30th anniversary, we have the opportunity to reflect on the results achieved and face new challenges. Over the past three decades, the EU single market has allowed people, goods, services and capital to move freely within the borders of the European Union. It is not only an achievement for itself, but one of the greatest achievements of the European Union that has strengthened its position in the global economy. It's amazing to know that there are 15% world trade in goods comes from the EU.
Citizens of the European Union can now study, live, shop, work and retire in any Member State, while enjoying products from all over Europe. However, it is important to continuously improve and improve the functioning of the Single Market, given its key role in addressing current and future challenges in Europe.
Both days will be enriched with interactive installations that will allow you to discover how the EU Single Market affects your lives. There are also various activities, games, photo shoot opportunities and prizes you can win!
Europe.Coffee Tour!, Sunday, 17 March from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Square of the 128th Brigade of the Croatian Army
Imagine enjoying a cup of coffee while talking to experts, asking questions about the European Union and actively participating in discussions about its future, but also better understanding the importance of the European Union in your daily life.
Rijeka is the first city to host both events on the same day, so it is worth using this opportunity. We look forward to you!
