The European Parliament operates an Information Office in the national capitals of all 27 EU Member States.  Since 1999, it has also operated a smaller 'branch' office in the larger Member Stares, opening offices in Barcelona , Edinburgh , Marseilles , Milan and Munich .  A new office in Wrocław, Poland, will open soon.

The European Parliament Office in Scotland aims to help increase awareness of the Parliament and the impact of its activities in Scotland , as well as highlighting the work of the six Scottish Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).

The Office is located in the Old Town of Edinburgh, adjacent to the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood.

The EP Office has three members of staff and is open 09h00-17h30, Monday to Friday.
