European Environmental Bureau

During the meeting, the creation of a federation of non-governmental organizations within the European Community was proposed,[4] which later become an information clearinghouse for the EC countries.[5] In order to give its members a central location to follow and respond to the developing environmental policy of the EU, the EEB headquarters was established in Brussels in 1974.[6] In 1998, the EEB led the issue group on public participation of the pan-European coalition on environmental citizens' organizations, later named as European ECO Forum, which was closely involved in the negotiating phase of the UNECE Aarhus Convention.Environmental organisations in candidate countries (those applying to join the EU) and, increasingly, in the Western Balkans, regard the EEB as their main partner with a European focus.[citation needed] The EEB's experience, relationships and position are of great value to these states in determining their own role in processes related to EU enlargement and the environment.
