The flag of the European Union flies over the Reichstag the day after a majority of people voted "no" in the Greek referendum on July 6, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. Greeks voted in a strong majority against the reform plan proposed by the troika of the European Central Bank.
On the other hand, the office also aims to liaise with tech companies based in the United States. The European Union explained that the new center would reinforce the EU-U.S. digital diplomacy cooperation.
Once it starts, the capacity of the EU to communicate with the private and public stakeholders will be strengthened.
This means that the organization will have better relationships with U.S.-based business leaders, policymakers, as well as civil society in the tech industry.
New EU Office's Other Goals
Aside from the plans mentioned above, the new San Francisco-based EU office wants to promote EU standards, as well as technologies, regulations, and digital policies.
The European Union said that this new office would be led by Gerard de Graaf, a key EU official who greatly contributed to the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA).
