Permanent Representation of Finland to the EU<\/strong><\/p>\n

The HAMK University of Applied Sciences decided to go to Brussels for a week with the Doing Business in Europe Module. On Monday, our first day, we started the trip at 10AM with a visit to the Permanent Representation of Finland to the EU.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had a presentation about the structure and tasks about the Permanent Representation of Finland to the EU by Rami Nissil\u00e4.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe got to know the three representations about Finland in Brussels: The embassy of Finland to Belgium, Finland\u2019s mission to NATO and Finland\u2019s permanent representation to the EU. He explained more in detail those three representations and talked about the four main institutions of the European Union: European Commission, Council of the European Union, European Parliament and European Council. As for us exchange students it was really informative and interesting to learn more about our host country Finland. Since we are coming from Germany we don\u2019t know a lot about Finland and its businesses and official representations, so we\u2019ve got a more in-depth overview about the country and upcoming events in this week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He continued with describing the decision-making process of those institutions and finished the presentation with explaining the Coreper 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAfter the presentation we had some time for questions which resulted in a really interesting and interactive discussion. He made time for our questions and the answers were really helpful and clear. Rami Nissil\u00e4 gave also some personal experience about the terrorist attacks in Brussels and how it influenced the life of him and close relatives, which was which gave us a personal point of view of those events.<\/p>\n

What added another interesting factor to the presentation was that our teacher Annaleena<\/span> Kolehmainen<\/span> and Rami Nissil\u00e4 knew each other from primary school and that even the father of Rami Nissil\u00e4 has worked for HAMK. This showed us that it\u2019s even possible to meet after many years in a foreign country again, especially under circumstances like our study programme International Business.\"\"<\/p>\n

The visit to the Permanent Representation of Finland was a new experience and gave us a lot of information about the topic. Besides, we got a personal insight in the way of living in Brussels and how the work looks like.<\/p>\n

We were really grateful to be able to be a part of this awesome excursion and experience together with HAMK.<\/p>\n
