Communication Activities: [EN] A permanent and direct representation of the Agricultural Federation of the Azores in Brussels has a superlative significance, particularly taking into account the complexity and the impact of the European Union's legislative and non-legislative acts in the Autonomous Region of the Azores.

In Brussels, the AFA should reaffirm the following:  The position of the Azorean Agriculture during the EU decision-making procedures;  To raise awareness and to mobilize all European legislative and executive actors for the specific agricultural reality of the Azores;  Promote and strengthen cooperation and dialogue between all the agents and institutions that directly or indirectly are involved in matters concerning the Outermost Regions;  New forms of funding, in addition to promoting existing ones;  Promote formal and informal networks. [PT] A representação permanente e direta da Federação Agrícola dos Açores junto das Instâncias comunitárias assume-se preponderante e decisiva, se atendermos à complexidade e importância dos procedimentos legislativos da União Europeia, com especial destaque para o processo legislativo ordinário. Assim, com esta nevrálgica aposta na política de proximidade, a Federação Agrícola dos Açores reforça a sua função primária e nuclear de defesa da Agricultura e dos Agricultores Açorianos. Em Bruxelas, procurar-se-á:  Afirmar a posição da Agricultura e dos Agricultores Açorianos junto dos centros de decisão da União Europeia;  Consciencializar, sensibilizar e, por fim, mobilizar todos os atores e intervenientes legislativos europeus para a realidade agrícola específica dos Açores;  Promover e estreitar a cooperação entre todos os agentes e instituições que direta ou indiretamente se dedicam às questões Açorianas, em particular, e à temática da ultraperiferia, de modo transversal;  Novas formas de financiamento, para além de promover as já existentes;  Assegurar que as propostas legislativas da União Europeia estejam em harmonia com as necessidades, interesses e potencialidades da Agricultura Açoriana;  Promover redes formais e informais de trabalho e de partilha/recolha de informação estratégica e sensível a fim de se potencializar resultados desejados.
