Incredibly honoured to be re-elected as board member and treasurer of PACE - Public Affairs Community of Europe on behalf of Bepact - Belgian Public Affairs Community. PACE is a unique forum bringing together #publicaffairs professionals from across 17 member countries and the EU to exchange insights and best practices on #transparency and #integrity in public affairs. On that note, I am very pleased to be able to share that also EPACA - The European Public Affairs Consultancies' Association has joined PACE as a member, thereby formalising the excellent relationship between both associations with a similar mission. My warmest congratulations to our excellent host and new president, Laura Florea, as well as outgoing president Maria Rosa Rotondo who will continue to work in service of PACE as honorary president. Excited to together continue building the European public affairs community for many generations to come!

How can Belgian #publicaffairs professionals have an impact on policies being shaped at the EU level? To answer this - and many other - questions, Political Intelligence hosted the 4th session of the VBO FEB Public Affairs Academy 2024. Otto Von Bismarck once said that laws are like sausages: it’s better not to know how they are being made. Yet, understanding the EU policymaking process is crucial for knowing when, where and how to influence it. Therefore, we identified the 'access points' PA professionals can use at EU level, as well as explain how Belgium's position for the Council is determined. Finally, we zoomed in on important 'cultural' differences that are specific to Belgian vs. Belgian. European public affairs. Big thanks to Johan Van Praet and Linne De Neef for their trust and of course my colleagues Quentin, Jonas, Han and Melissa for their incredible effort. If you would like to learn more about the possible synergies between national and EU #lobbying, don't hesitate to get in touch!

What if they asked you to present the EU Ordinary Legislative Procedure in French to Belgian employers? 🇪🇺🇧🇪 That’s what happened to me last Friday during a session on “The importance of the EU for Belgian public affairs” organised by the Federation of Entreprises in Belgium VBO FEB for representatives of the Belgian industry, where I had the chance to explain the EU decision-making process in practice, from the inception of an EC proposal to trilogue negotiations and adoption. It was a fantastic opportunity to get the sense of what happens outside the EU bubble and, for me personally, was one of those moments where I really felt how my (language) skills and personal interests along with my experience are put to use for a good cause. I also found it very interesting to listen to the guest speaker Eva De Bleeker, who shared with the companies very useful and strategic insights on, among others, when and how to best interact with the EU institutions from a stakeholder perspective. Last but not least, the bilingualism of the event fascinated me greatly and I felt so lucky to have the opportunity to present along with my Belgian colleagues Matti Van Hecke, Quentin Philippart de Foy, Jonas Veys and Han Vandepoele. Thanks to VBO-FEB for relying on Political Intelligence for this and other sessions, but a special thanks goes to PI Managing Partner Matti Van Hecke for giving me this enriching opportunity. It’s outside of our comfort zones that we grow the most 🌸
