Other activities
TEAS agenda focuses primarily on maintaining existing, and building new relationships with the EU institutions by sharing background information on Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus, developments in the region and activities of TEAS. In 2013-2016, TEAS has organised several debates in the European Parliament, which gathered members of the EU institutions as well as representatives from Azerbaijan, and aimed at discussing the future opportunities for the EU-Azerbaijan rapprochement. TEAS has also organised one photo exhibition in the European Parliament in February 2014. TEAS also monitors varied EU debates and reports of concern for Azerbaijan - EP AFET debates and reports, EC EEAS reports and press releases, EU Council´s reports on the ENP (South Caucasus and Azerbaijan), EP Plenary Sessions, EP ITRE debates and reports.

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.
