    The Federation of Catholic Family Association in Europe is an umbrella organisation of 32 family associations from all over Europe. The General Secretariat is based in Brussels, Belgium. The federation holds a participatory status with the Council of Europe since 2001 and is a member of the Fundamental Rights Platform of the European Union. FAFCE work consists in bringing the voices of its member associations to the EU level and in informing them about European current affairs on family issues. The activities of FAFCE can be summed up as a work of representation and promotion of the family within the European institutions.

  • Meetings

    Meetings

    7 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
