Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union: Ambassador of Belgium to Ireland

H.E. Ms Karen Van Vlierberge:

Yes. Every week my permanent representative gives us an overview of the state of the files, and the Deputy referred to that directive on the platform on the website. For Belgium as well it is of utmost importance. The Deputy was right to refer to a socially strong Europe. It is very important. My deputy is checking if it is in my file here.
