Eurolat (Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly)
Chaired by José Ignacio
Salafranca MEP, the Eurolat Assembly was set up in order to enhance ties with the Andean, Central American and Latin American Parliaments. The assembly has three standing committees: Political, Trade, and Social Affairs.
EuroLat's main objectives are to support, promote and consolidate in practical terms the bi-regional Strategic Partnership by covering its three main concerns, namely:
- questions relating to democracy, external policy, governance, integration, peace and human rights;
- economic, financial and commercial affairs;
- social affairs, human exchange, the environment, education and culture.
In December 2007, the first plenary session of the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly took place in Brussels.
