The FMA Vice-President Monica Baldi\, the Honorary Secretary Teresa Riera and the Treasurer Jean-Pierre Audy were also part of the delegation. \nThe main objective of this visit was to listen to the priorities of the Danish EU Council Presidency and to explore ways to address the most pressing issues on the EU agenda. The FMA delegation was pluralist in terms of political parties\, reflecting a broad range of perspectives and ensuring a constructive and balanced exchange of views. \nThe programme included a visit to the Danish Parliament\, where the FMA delegation met with Henrik Møller\, Vice-Chairman of The European Affairs Committee\, and Flemming Møller Mortensen\, Member of The Foreign Affairs Committee and of The Greenland Committee\, and Former Minister for Development Cooperation and Nordic Cooperation. The delegation also met with Mr Jonas Bering Liisberg\, Secretary for European Policy and the Arctic at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, and Ms Marie Bjerre\, Minister for European Affairs. \nAt the European Parliament Liaison Office in Denmark\, the FMA delegation had the honour of being welcomed by Mr Rasmus Nordqvist\, Danish Member of the European Parliament\, and Mr Poul Nyrup Rasmussen\, former Prime Minister of Denmark and founder of Headspace Denmark. \nRepresentatives from the European Environment Agency (EEA)\, Ms Catherine Ganzleben and Mr Tobias Long\, presented “Europe’s environment 2025” (Every five years\, EEA publishes its flagship report on the state of Europe’s environment. This the seventh state of the environment report published by the EEA since 1995). \nLast but not least\, the visit was an important opportunity to meet former Danish MEPs who are members of the Association. The delegation met Ms Kirsten Jensen\, Mayor of the Hillerød Municipality and FMA member and\, to discuss about the role and organisation of local authorities and municipalities in Denmark. A visit to the Workers’ Museum followed by a dinner debate also provided an opportunity for dialogue with trade union and employers’ representatives. With valuable contributions from Danish former MEPs and FMA members Mr John Iversen\, Ms Karin Riis-Jørgensen and Ms Britta Thomsen\, as well as Christoffer Thomas Skov\, Deputy Director at Danish Industry organisation and Johan Moesgaard Andersen\, EU Director at Dansk Metal. \n  \nA full report about the FMA visit to Denmark will be included in the FMA December 2025 Bulletin.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
