The exhibition "The EU speaks your language" moves to the Council of the EU (LEX building).
"The EU speaks your language" was produced by the EESC in house, in cooperation with the Directorate for Translation of the EESC/CoR and was launched in September 2018 to mark the 60th anniversary of Regulation 1/1958 entering into force.
The exhibition travels back in time to 1958, to the first legal act of the EEC/EU, to highlight the historical significance of Regulation 1/58 whilst featuring a modern approach to that which it symbolises at its core.

The EESC will host the photography exhibition "Romanian landscapes of my heart" featuring the work of the well-known Romanian photographer, Sorin Onişor.

The opening of the exhibition is planned to take place on 15 May 2019 to coincide with May's Plenary Session.
This exhibition travels back in time to 1958, to the first legal act of the EEC/EU, to highlight its historical significance.
Regulation 1/1958 has played a key role in building the EU in that it allows work to be carried out in each of the Member States' languages. In doing so it strengthens the participation of civil society and boosts the EU's democratic legitimacy.
