Events organised by MEPs 

Both in Parliament’s Brussels and Strasbourg seats, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), political groups and the Parliament secretariat can organise events or exhibitions. Different rules apply depending on the location and organiser.

Press conferences and media: Members can hold press conferences in the press conference room or use Parliament’s facilities for broadcasting or recording messages.

Meetings and conferences: MEPs may also organise events on their own or via their political groups in the meeting rooms belonging to the political groups.

Cultural events and exhibitions: Members are entitled to organise up to two per year in Parliament’s public area, subject to strict rules and authorisation by the relevant Quaestor (an MEP responsible for administrative and financial matters directly concerning Members).

The President of the European Parliament represents the institution as a whole and can organise official events on behalf of the Parliament.
