Åland has a special adviser at the Finnish Permanent Representation to the EU.

 

AFLRA is a member of several European territorial associations: the United Cities and Local Government (UCLG) and the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR).

 

Regional Councils representatives are also members of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe (CLRAE), the Assembly of European Regions (AER), the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPMR), the Baltic Sea States Subregional Cooperation (BSSSC) and the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR).
