In May 2012, students from 15 different countries (including China and Russia) gathered in Tallinn for the first MEU simulation organised in Estonia. This first MEU simulated 5 different councils. The Economic and Financial Affairs Council (financial aid to countries in crises; case: 3rd package, Greece and ESM), the Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Council (youth employment opportunities in the aging EU society; case: cross-EU minimum wage), the Justice and Home Affairs Council (Schengen expansion towards the Balkan region; case: Croatia’s accession to EU and border management with the neighbouring countries), the Foreign Affairs Council (EU-Russia relations and security in the common neigbhrourhood; partnership and cooperation agreement – to prolong or not, and how?) and the Transport, Telecommunication and Energy Council (safe transport corridors inter EU focusing on railway and maritime transport).
A Model UN and a Model NATO simulations were also organised simultaneously.
In July 2013, Euroopa Maja organised the second edition of MEU Tallinn, gathering participants from EU and non-EU countries. The simulation included four different councils as well as a plenary session of the European Parliament, enabling participants to play the roles of both Ministers and MEPs, successively.
