Your Europe Advice

Your Europe Advice is an online legal advice service provided by the European Citizens Action Service (ECAS). The team consists of about 60 lawyers who cover all 24 official EU languages and are familiar both with EU law and national laws in EU countries.

Your Europe Advice Team will provide you with personal advice on your EU rights, clarify the EU law that applies in your particular situation, explain how you can exercise your rights and direct you to a body that can offer further assistance, if needed. The team will reply within one week.

Remember that advice and information in response to individual enquiries addressed to Your Europe Advice are provided by independent legal experts under contract with ECAS, meaning that the European Commission acts as a facilitator of the service and accepts no responsibility or liability with regard to the information or advice provided (the advice do not bind the European Commission).

How to Act

  • You can contact this service by filling out an online form in Your Europe Advice Website. Apart from providing relevant personal and contact information, you’ll be asked to describe the situation you experienced, the country in which occurred, the points on which you need advice, the steps you have taken so far and the authorities and bodies you have already contacted (with the relevant outcome).
  • When reaching out to Your Europe Advice, you should bear in mind they will not enforce compliance if your rights have been breached but will be able to provide you with expert legal assistance on your specific situation.

Disability Examples

Although Your Europe Advice expertise covers a wide range of topics, the most common inquires submitted by persons with disabilities refer to the challenge that arise when they travel or move to another European country for a long period of time. These inquiries commonly refer to the recognition of the national disability parking card, the recognition of the national disability assessment, the transfer of invalidity pension and access to services (accessibility of public services or special rates for cinemas, public transport or museums).
