To that end we maintain external contacts, for example with the European Commission. In addition it is EFLA\u2019s duty to ensure a good exchange of knowledge among its members, among other things by organizing workshops and conferences, something to which I am fully committed.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2><strong>About Irene Verheijen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Irene Verheijen is specialized in administrative law and the regulated markets.
