European Union
Helping to shape the face of Europe
We need a stronger Europe to overcome the current issue of national debt and the Euro crisis. This is why we are fully behind a strong European Union based on solidarity. EU structural policies are exerting a positive outcome on the state level. We are putting our weight behind ensuring that things stay that way.

State Representation in Brussels
The “Ländervertretung”, Baden-Württemberg’s representative office in the capital of the European Union, ensures that the voice of the State is heard in Brussels, and also focuses the attention of the State on developments taking place in Europe from the earliest possible juncture.
Baden-Württemberg cultivates ties throughout the world. Foreign trade, in particular, plays an outstandingly important role. The State has worked in close partnership with regions from all around the globe over many years. It is the intention of the State Government to pursue and extend its development cooperation with these partners.
