The role of the Institutional Partnership Unit is to establish and to maintain structural cooperation with the agency’s institutional partners at EU and international levels: EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, as well as international organisations. The Unit provides support to the Cabinet of the Executive management with regards to developments on the EU’s legislative and policy processes. It forges effective partnerships with international actors across various areas of European integrated border management.
The activities of the Unit are implemented in close cooperation with the Cabinet via the Brussels Office that locally liaises and interlinks with the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies based in Brussels.
