Malbork on the map of the Polish Presidency

Malbork had a double occasion to host the Eu representatives during the Polish Presidency in the Council of the European union. On 8 September 2011, it was visited by the Budgetary Counsellors of the Member States (from the Permanent Representations in Brussels) and experts from the general Secretariat of the Eu Council and the European Commission, who took part in an informal meeting of the Budget Committee of the Eu Council in Pomerania. On 15 September 2011, Malbork hosted the ambassadors of the Eu Member States accredited to Brussels as part of the away sitting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives in Brussels, the so-called Coreper ii Trip.

The group was led by Jan Tombiński, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and the Permanent Representative of Poland to the Eu. an indispensable point on the agenda of the two delegations' stay in Malbork was a visit at the Castle Museum. in addition, the ambassadors had the opportunity to participate in a cross-bow tournament. Malbork was not incidentally appointed host of the events during the Polish Presidency. apart of its historic and architectonic qualities, the town is a good example of how to be open to Europe, which was confirmed by awarding Malbork with the Flag of honour of the Council of Europe.
