Caritas Germany’s work on the EU-level
Caritas Germany shares a vision for a peaceful, democratic and just European Union with a social and sustainable internal market. Caritas Germany’s EU office advocates on behalf of disadvantaged and vulnerable people and for the interests of Caritas Germany’s service providers at the European level. We present our policy positions to decision-makers in the EU institutions in Brussels and channel our demands into the political decision-making processes. Vice-versa, we inform our Caritas colleagues in Germany about relevant EU policy developments. We work in close cooperation with various partner organisations, such as our European Caritas network Caritas Europa, or the other top five Social Welfare Organisations in Germany (BAGFW).
