You can now browse and discover the EU pavilions using the map or links below.

Belgium - EU pavilion

Located in Zone C of the Expo site, the EU pavilion will be fully integrated into the Belgium pavilion, emphasizing the importance of Belgium and Bruxelles within the European Union. Small in size but symbolically essential, the EU pavilion will represent the best of Europe and its member countries. In fact, Belgium will hold the revolving presidency of the EU during the second half of 2010, a period which accounts for four of the Expo’s six-month duration ; this is why the EU and Belgium have chosen to share the same pavilion and “to live under the same roof ”. Belgium has also been established as a political hub of Europe, accommodating such institutions as the European Parliament, the European commission and N.A.T.O. This "node" is actually clearly recognizable in the sky-images of highways that cross Belgium in all directions, and the cultural diversity of the Belgian inhabitants. All these elements have been the key issues for Belgium’s success and transformed Belgium into a fertile, creative and resourceful country driven by a spirit of openness and tolerance.

Also located in Zone C, the Joint European Pavilion(s) should host European countries which did not build their own pavilions but still wish to be represented in Shanghai. We will soon provide the list of these smaller but important EU countries, like Moldova or Bosnia & Herzegovina.
