What is the European Commission?
The European Commission is the EU's executive arm. It takes decisions on the Union's political and strategic direction. The Commission helps to shape the EU's overall strategy, proposes new EU laws and policies, monitors their implementation and manages the EU budget. It also plays a significant role in supporting international development and delivering aid. To know more about it.
Description
On 16 June, a Zoom webinar
took place between 09.30–12.00 CET. It provided an overview of the situation, the EU evaluation and international efforts to protect European eel, as well as practical solutions for better management.
That has been followed by an NGO Zoom meeting on 18 June between 09.30–12.00 CET. It provided us the opportunity to discuss about strategic issues and future opportunities for collaboration.
