ERP had succesful advocacy meetings in Brussels from 22nd to the 24th of January 2020.

We were very welcomed and new opportunities, hopefully leading to new long-term partnerships were created. Messages were passed on to the European Commission, the Presidency, several MEP´s, regio and Agri parliamentary committees, Committee of the Regions and the European Economic and Social committee. ERP-guiding documents and a book on national rural parliaments were handed to the hosts. We need to build on this and create stronger ties with pan-European rural development actors. Recognition brings visibility and more influence on our cause – our voice. Your voice, capacities and knowledge become even so important.
