TheBrussels’ Delegation of The Association of the Veneto Chambers of Commerce was established in 1996 to represent the European interests of the seven Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Crafts and Agriculture of the Veneto Region.

The Delegation provides operational support to regional stakeholders and contributes to the internationalization of the regional economy thanks to its influence on the activities of political decision-making, both at local and European level.

The close cooperation between our Delegation and the Veneto Region is enhanced for the fact that both the headquarters share the same premises inBrussels: this has fostered a solid and advantageous relationship which has allowed a harmonious collaboration on activities of common interest.

Furthermore, the European role of Unioncamere Venetoisstrengthened thanks to Eurosportello Veneto, that coordinates Friend Europe, a consortium that operates since January 2008 as part of the EEN – Enterprise Europe Network – co-financed by DG Enterprise and the European Commission. The consortium represents the interests of many enterprises ofVeneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Trentino Alto Adige -South Tyrol.

 

The role of the Brussels Delegation:

Our main activity is the monitoring of European policies in order to inform our stakeholders about all relevant news. Thanks to this information, the economic operators can identify the most important opportunities and, consequently, choose and develop the best solutions.

TheBrussels delegation interacts directly with the European institutions and other relevant actors established inBrussels. This dialogue at the European level is important to take part in European transnational networks, trying to influence EU policies and gain a voice in the European Union, making sure that Veneto’s voice is heard.

European integration has an increasing impact on local and regional issues. As a consequence, theBrusselsdelegation plays a strategic role gathering and disseminating information.
