The Brussels Commissioner for Europe and International Organisations has a unique mission in the capital of Europe. The Commissioner and his team (commissioner.brussels) act as a go-between linking regional authorities with the international organisations based here. We also support International Brusselers in settling down through our Expat Welcome Desk. Created, funded and governed by the Brussels-Capital Region, we sit at the heart of the host region policy.
