MEPs from the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection of the European Parliament are now, on this fourth day, 28, the Ministers of Foreign Trade and Finance, who are not part of the Portuguese candidacy, which will be held at the headquarters of the European Autoridade Aduaneira.
At the event held at the seat of the European Assembly, in Brussels, Foreign Trade Ministers Paulo Rangel and Finance Ministers Joaquim Miranda Sarmento will participate in a discussion and answers with members of this parliamentary committee.
The meeting – which in the case of Portugal will have to arrive at 10:45 (less than an hour in Lisbon) – will be followed by an official presentation in Brussels in December through an audience of members of the European Union (EU) institutions and then a third-party candidacy approved by the European Commission for Europe a few weeks ago.
Before the community’s executive approves and issues an opinion, decisions are taken by co-legislators (countries and MEPs), sometimes feverishly.
The EU Administrative Authority is a new Community agency proposed by the European Commission in 2023, which will have the task of coordinating the administration of federal taxes between the different administrations of the EU Member States.
Other countries competing in Portugal are: Bélgica (Liège), Espanha (Málaga), França (Lille), Croácia (Zagreb), Itália (Rome), Países Baixos (The Hague), Polónia (Warsaw) and Roménia (Bucharest).
Representatives of these countries participate in this parliamentary meeting.
The EU office must be established from 2026, with the European Commission responsible for the start of operations.
Community leaders will now evaluate the nine applications over the next few weeks and will work to ensure the site allows the authority to carry out its tasks and assets, recruit highly skilled and specialist staff and offer training opportunities.
In Brussels, you should also check accessibility from the location, the existence of social facilities or adequate access to social security and medical care and geographical balance.
Currently, there are two EU-based agencies based in Portugal, mainly in Lisbon, which report to the European Maritime Safety Agency and the European Union Drugs Agency.
Portugal is unsuccessfully trying to compete in the European Medicines Agency.
The EU has more than 30 decentralized agencies located in different Member States.
