The Enlargement Day is the forum where local and regional issues and messages influence the EU's strategy on enlargement.

On 31 May (afternoon), local and regional political representatives from both the EU and from enlargement countries meet in country-specific Joint Consultative Committees and Working Groups for high-level debates on where things stand as regards each country and the Union.

The plenary on 1 June (morning) will debate the wider state and concept of EU enlargement, as well as the connectivity of transport and energy networks in the enlargement countries.
