Effectively finding solutions to problems in Europe

Living, working or studying in any EU country is a basic right. Enterprises are also free to establish, provide services and do business anywhere in the EU. Yet sometimes this can be challenging due to lack of information, different interpretations of national law and mistakes or misunderstandings. In addition language can be a barrier. To overcome these difficulties, the EU created the SOLVIT network. What is SOLVIT?
