Europe and the Public Sector
This website is new and still under construction. If you have any ideas or suggestions for it then please don't hesitate to get in contact with us. Thank you!
Public sector organisations in Devon have been involved in activities at EU level for many years. The way in which local councils do business is often influenced by EU legislation - for example waste collection and disposal, transport and procurement - and there are also opportunities to access EU funding for local authorities.
A number of websites listed below provide further details on public sector engagement with the EU in Devon:
Devon County Council (DCC)
DCC participates in a number of European networks, which allows it to exchange best practice with other local authorities in Europe, and to develop transnational projects for European funding streams. For more information please visit the Council's European page...
