Goals / Remit
The Committee of Representatives of the Orthodox Churches to the European Union (CROCEU) was established in March 2010. Its aim is to facilitate cooperation among the Orthodox Representatives to the European Institutions and to create the framework for them to articulate with a coordinated voice their concerns and outlook on the ongoing process of European integration.
Main EU files targeted
To monitor issues concerning European Union activities, investigations and developments of interest to CROCEU, with the aim of drawing up and submitting proposals and suggestions to the relevant European and other authorities.
To participate in the dialogue for peace, reconciliation and cooperation among the people of Europe. In this context, cultural and other humanitarian activities are reinforced and supported with respect for the uniqueness of the various national and cultural identities of Europe.
To promote and support the spiritual, cultural and social work of CROCEU through the institutions of the European Union and any other European agencies.
To develop relations among the representations of Churches, religious organizations, non-governmental organizations and other representatives of civil society active in the European Union.
To participate in Europe-wide activities concerning religious, spiritual and economic solidarity between the people of Europe and the rest of the world. The ultimate aim is to reinforce the principles of solidarity and mutual respect in a spirit of rejecting xenophobia and racial discrimination.
To contribute to the organization of various activities (lectures seminars, conferences, etc.) inspired by our Orthodox Christian tradition, history and art.Address

Name Start date End Date Mr Triantafyllos BOGIANNOU 05 Feb 2020 05 Feb 2021 Complementary Information
Our Committee is made up by 6 local Orthodox Churches, namely the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Patriarchate of Moscow, the Patriarchate of Romania, the Patriarchate of Bulgaria, the Church of Cyprus and the Church of Greece.
These Churches have already established their offices in Brussels and Strasbourg and their staff is the same as the one of CROCEU (moderator, secretary etc) and they are working as seconded staff in our Committee. Therefore they are paid by their Churches and not from the financial sources of the Committee and their work is done on a voluntary basis.Person in charge of EU relations

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
