The four northernmost counties in Sweden are working together to influence EU-policy through the political network Europaforum Northern Sweden (EFNS).\u00a0The work in EFNS is based on common interest and commitment from regional and local politicians and officials. What makes the EFNS network unique is the cross-party cooperation and that the region is represented by one united voice in EU policy.<\/p>\n
The work is led by twelve rapporteurs (politicians), three from each county. \u00a0The rapporteurs work closely with groups with representatives from each county, local authorities, regional representations as well as from the North Sweden European Office in Brussels. The groups are focusing on different thematic EU policy and produces political positions papers according to what\u2019s on EU\u2019s agenda. The position papers are revised and adopted in coherence by all 12 rapporteurs.<\/p>\n
Once a year, EFNS organises a big forum with the aim to gather stakeholders from Sweden and the EU-arena engaged in regional development to discuss and develop common positions.<\/p>\n
