We provided regular intelligence and information notes for our members. We attended seminars and conferences on rising issues and issues of interest to them. We fed in information and views to Commission staff, the MEPS, Brussels-based networks, and key players. We supported the members of our partnership in achieving their main objectives by keeping them informed through our analyses and by involving them in Brussels activities and debates. We provided comprehensive support to visiting colleagues and maintained contact with the Scottish MEPs and relevant Commission staff. We prepared responses to consultations. We worked with other regions and regional networks with similar interests.
