The European Affairs Department defends the interests of the Port of Rotterdam in Brussels on dossiers that impact the competitiveness and the business climate of the port of Rotterdam in Europe. From our Brussels office, situated on the Schuman roundabout in Brussels, we actively promote the interests of the port authority with European stakeholders and policymakers (i.e. European Commission, European Parliament, Permanent Representation of NL to the EU). In Brussels, the Port of Rotterdam is also represented by the European Sea Ports Organisation ESPO.
