Brussels Office

The UHCC Brussels office is the most effective lever to put forward the plans for the development of a permanent and fixed communication and cooperation network abroad. The Office has a great contribution to the active and systematic presence and activity, not only of the UHCC, but of Greek Chambers as well, in Eurochambres and the EU institutional bodies, and helps Hellenic Chambers achieve their objectives, thus benefiting all the classes they represent. Moreover, the existence and operation of the Office in one of the world’s primary political poles, has made it possible to offer better services to UHCC member-Chambers, and, by extension to Hellenic businesses, enabling them to improve the business environment they operate in and to have better access to various financing means.

The purpose of the Office is to inform the UHCC and all Hellenic Chambers on EU developments, whether programs and community initiatives, or legislative initiatives, to promote the Hellenic Chambers’ positions in formulating Chamber-related community policy, and to provide scientific and technical support to Chambers participating therein. At the same time, the Brussels Office supports many Chambers in the preparation and submission of various proposals, as well as the promotion of monitoring activities of the evaluation and final acceptance procedures, by the European Commission and various community bodies.

The office contributes decisively in the successful fulfilment of the duties of the Eurochambres Deputy President, Mr. Conslantine Michalos.

Finally, it is essential to point out that the ”European Women Net­ work” is an initiative of the Brussels Office, adapted by the Eurochambres. This network aims in promoting the role that the women of the European Chambers and the women entrepreneurs in general, play today and their contribution in the success of the Chambers’ Network. Another goal of the Network is the creation of a European data base in order to promote the interests of the women entrepreneurs. The priorities of the network include the rapid development of the women entrepreneur ship, increasing the participation of women entrepreneurs in the economic development and recognizing the right of having “equal” opportunities.
