YourEurope
YourEurope is the EU web portal designed to help individuals and businesses who want to live, work or do business in any of the EU countries. YourEurope offers:
- information on your basic rights under EU law;
- how these rights are implemented in each individual country (where information has been provided by the national authorities);
- free email or telephone contact with EU assistance services, to get more personalised or detailed help and advice.
Point of Single Contact websites
Via the Single Digital Gateway, all member states plus Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and the United Kingdom provide a Point of Single Contact website (PSC). This is a government website for entrepreneurs. Through the Points of Single Contact, you can arrange some things directly like applying for a licence. And you can find information by country on, for example:
- starting a business
- laws and regulations
- procedures and permits
- taxes
- social security
You will also often read this information on the Your Europe website as well as the PSC websites.

It provides information about living, working, and doing business in the Netherlands to the YourEurope portal, as well as publishing it on its own website.
