". – TEAM Europe was created by the European Commission in 1989 with the aim of providing a network of independent conference speakers whose expertise covers all fields of activity of the Union in all working languages. Currently TEAM has about 550 members who can participate in conferences, seminars, debates and training sessions on issues relating to the European Union. They speak in their own name and not on behalf of the Commission.
The members of TEAM Europe are selected by the representations of the Commission in each Member State on the basis of criteria that include experience, in-depth knowledge of European issues, languages, media training and availability. They are organised in national groups. The members of TEAM Europe are not paid by the Commission. However, they can accept expenses from the organisers of the event in which they are participating and even some appropriate payment.
The Commission does, however, provide them with regular training sessions. In 2002 the Commission organised three training seminars in Brussels specifically for members of TEAM Europe. There was a two-day seminar on the external relations of the European Union in which 80 TEAM members participated; a three-and-a-half-day seminar on enlargement in which 60 TEAM members participated; and a two-day seminar on the future of Europe, the post-Nice process and the European Convention, in which 103 TEAM members participated. This training is provided in the Commission, using speakers and interpreters from either the Commission or the other institutions and occasionally outside speakers who do not receive payment."@en1
