To further develop our relationship with the Accredited Parliamentary Assistants (APAs) and group policy advisers in Brussels, AmCham EU hosted a summer reception on Thursday, 3 July. The event gave our members a chance to connect with the APAs, exchange ideas and strengthen relationships. As key contributors to the legislative process, European Parliament legislative staff shape many of the discussions that take place in Brussels. Roger Coelho, Senior Policy Director, AmCham EU, kicked off the evening by welcoming attendees and emphasising the importance of public-private partnerships in developing effective policy. Thank you to Qualcomm for sponsoring the event.
