Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference – Standing Committee meeting on 19 October in Berlin

The BSPC as associated partner in BSLN invited project manager Katariina Röbbelen-Voigt and research network coordinator Silke Lorenz to their Standing Committee meeting to update on the status of the project work and especially to present the concept for the German-Polish cross border competence centre. The question about comparable data and statistics was raised by one Estonian Member of Parliament. This is indeed one of the most important questions regarding the collection of labour market data and especially data about labour mobility. BSLN will use available EURES data, create indicators and cooperate with other information centres to approach this challenge.

There was also opportunity to discuss BSLN future questions with BSPC members and to take part in a very informative tour through the Reichstag building. It is always interesting to listen to experienced politicians’ discussions, and to follow their substantial interests in our common region.
