The European Union does not set public holidays for its member states. However the European Commission does set public holidays for the employees of the institutions of the European Union.
The holidays will typically cover the following dates (example below from 2017 [1]):
| Date | Day |

| 1 January | New Year's Day (not published in 2017 since it falls on Sunday) |
| 2 January | Day following New Year's Day |
| 13 April (Thursday before Easter) | Maundy Thursday |
| 14 April (Friday before Easter) | Good Friday |
| 17 April (Monday after Easter) | Easter Monday |
