Saxony in Brussels

Saxon Liaison Office
The Free State of Saxony maintains an office in Brussels since 1991. The office is part of the Saxon State Ministry for Justice and Europe.
The Liaison Office currently employs 14 assistants, the majority of which are temporarily assigned by the various state ministries.
Saxony contributes on European Level
Saxon intersts must also be represented on European level. That means that Brussels should not impede the Free State's scope of decision making in the process of European integration.
Even after the expansion of the European Union to now 27 member states, Saxony plays a special role due to her location and history. For example will the upcoming elimination of passport controls on border points with our neighbours Poland and the Czech Republic have to be prepared in such a way that the safety of the public will be maintained. Furthermore, criminal cross-border activities and illegal migration must also in future be addressed successfully.
