A three day study visit was organised in Brussels on 12-14 October 2009 with the participation of 42 EU Training Programme scholars. The study visit complemented the seminars of the “EU Training Programme for Turkish Chamber Executives” and was a unique opportunity for all the participants (Ankara and Istanbul track) to gather and meet the EU policy makers dealing with the day to day management of EU affairs. During these three days, the participants visited the European Institutions (European Commission, European Parliament, and Council) where information conferences were organised within the EU institutions’ buildings to get further information about the role of the institutions and about particular EU policies and activities. The scholars also had the chance to participate to the reception organised by EUROCHAMBRES on 14 October at the European Parliament in the context of the event “Chambers meet MEPs”, where they met the new MEPs. |
