Goals / Remit
The European Jewish Association is the largest federation of Jewish organizations and communities actively working all over Europe.
Our two main goals are:
- To strengthen Jewish Identity and expand Jewish activities in Europe;
- To defend Jewish interests in Europe.
The modern European Jewish communities are facing challenges that go beyond the scope of regional initiatives, and possess only limited resources. Most Jews in Europe are not part of any community, while most children and students have a very limited knowledge of our culture and traditions. As the level of Antisemitism in Europe is growing with each passing year, the European Jewry must therefore act and defend its interests and future.Main EU files targeted
Presently, the EJA is engaged in policy areas that concern Antisemitism, freedom of religion, public health & safety (e.g., circumcision), environment and agriculture (e.g., ritual slaughter) as well as cross-community dialogue, EU foreign affairs in relation to the State of Israel and security (e.g., public security).

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.
