Watcher role
Invitations for meetings organised in the European institutions are sent to various members of different committees or expert groups.
There are various types of invitations. One of them is the invitation to act as a Watcher in AGM.
A Watcher is a recipient of an invitation that must be informed of the meeting but is not expected to attend the meeting (e.g. permanent representations of Member States).
In AGM, the person taking on this Watcher role can access information about the meeting and its delegation but cannot perform any actions.
Log in to AGM
To access AGM, you need a personal EU LOGIN account that is related to your personal mailbox. If you don't have an EU LOGIN account, go to EU-Login and follow the instructions there.
Logging in to AGM requires 2-factor authentication and you need to set up your EU-Login account accordingly.
We recommend to use the EU-Login app as 2nd authentication factor- the video below explains how to:
The next video explains how to reconcile (link) an e-id with your EU-Login account. To do so has the advantage that you always find your meeting data, no matter whether you use your e-ID or normal EU-Login ID.
Check this description for all options.
If your email address changes, update it in your EU-Login account (Don't create a new EU-Login account for the new email address. It would have a different account ID and you would not find your meeting data).
Activate access as a Watcher
You’ll receive an email containing the invitation (see screenshot below), the meeting agenda and other information about the meeting from the meeting organiser.
The email also contains a link to AGM granting you access as a Watcher for the delegation.
Click Confirm to activate your role.
Be careful who you share this invitation with – it grants anybody access as Watcher.
