Welcome

SOLVIT is an informal problem-solving network created to solve problems that EU citizens or businesses are experiencing with the public administrations of EU Member States. These problems must be associated with a denial of their Internal Market rights due to Internal Market law not being applied correctly. There are SOLVIT Centres in all EU and EEA States. SOLVIT aims to solve people's problems within a 10 week deadline.

As SOLVIT represents an informal approach to problem solving, the SOLVIT system would not be used in situations where:

• Legal proceedings are under way
• The problem relates to a legal obstacle e.g. where the problem concerns an obstacle which results from a legal provision of national law. In this situation, it is unlikely that an informal system such as SOLVIT will be able to provide redress
• Where deadlines under national law need to be respected

The Irish SOLVIT Centre is not an information service. If you require further information please click on the external links to relevant organisations and bodies on the left of our home page. Please also note that the Centre is not a public office.
