Response
This proposal is in line with existing
measures or upcoming legislation.
AND
We do not support this proposal
and we will not implement it.
Explanation
To some extent, there is already a coordination and point of contact with commissioner.brussels that is both a single point of contact for international organisations, but also operates as an Expat Welcome Desk.
It does not seem appropriate to organise this from the government ‘top down’ around existing socio-cultural associations.
To enable participation, a consultation committee as in policy proposal 3 seems a better, more transparent and more representative way to organise this.
