Brussels Office

​The Brussels Office of the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities is a centre for lobbying towards the European Union for the Association and the Finnish local and regional authorities. It acts as a channel of communication towards the EU institutions and others partners and stakeholders in Brussels.

The office maintains contacts with EU institutions, Finnish opinion leaders and representatives of other countries. It builds co-operational relationships and participates to the work of different networks relevant to the local and regional level. It keeps the association, Finnish Municipalities and other stakeholders posted on initiatives of EU institutions and the drafting of regulatory acts and makes Finnish regional and local government known to the EU.

The Office also serves as a base for the members and experts of the Finnish delegation of the Committee of the Regions.
