SOLVIT

SOLVIT is an informal problem-solving network of the European Commission and the member states of the European Union and the EEA. It assists citizens and businesses to ascertain their EU rights where a dispute has arisen between a citizen or a company and a public authority of a member state of the European Union and the EEA other than their country of origin. There is a SOLVIT centre in every member state (as well as in the EEA member states Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein).


Whenever a problem occurs, the SOLVIT centres of the two countries concerned (the complainant’s country of origin and the country where the problem occurred) will try to reach a solution within ten weeks.

On 2 May 2017 the European Commission announced a package of measures intended to enhance the functioning of the Single Market within the EU,[1] which included a proposed action plan on reinforcing SOLVIT.[2]
