Sommario

Organisation and political representation

Polish delegates actively contribute to the EU legislative process by preparing opinions and resolutions taken up by the CoR upon its own initiative. They also organise CoR events and political meetings in their home cities and towns. During thePolish Presidency of the EU Council in the 2nd half year of 2011, the delegation members initiated a number of significant events, e.g.the inaugural meeting of the Permanent Conference of the Regional and Local Authorities for the Eastern Partnership (CORLEAP) organised on the invitation of President Marek Woźniak, which took place in Poznań (Wielkopolska region). Since then this EU-level institutional engagement of local and regional authorities in the Eastern Parnership is called the Poznan Process.

The delegation meets before every plenary session in order to discuss the most essential topics and agree common positions and actions. During these meetings, guests speakers from the European institutions, the Polish government, as well as various experts are invited to present subjects that are most relevant for the delegation activities related to the EU agenda. It also allows the members to advocate their interests and influence the national and European decision making process. The delegates also participate in different conferences, seminars and meetings organised in co-operation with the CoR, both in Brussels and in many EU member states.

The works of Polish delegation are co-ordinated by the Information Office of the Wielkopolska Region in Brussels.
