The
Portuguese CoR delegation is composed of 12 full
and 12 alternate members. They collectively represent their local and regional
authorities. The delegation includes two members from the Autonomous Regions of the
Azores and Madeira and ten from the Municipalities.
None of the regions have a liaison
office in Brussels; the Azores rent a building for meetings when they are in
Brussels, with no employees allocated to the office.
The
National Association of Portuguese Municipalities is a member of the Congress
of Local and Regional Authorities of Europe (CLRAE) and the Council of European
Municipalities and Regions (CEMR). The Azores and Madeira are also members of
the Assembly of European Regions (AER) and of the Conference of European
Regional Legislative Assemblies (CALRE).β
