    GRC has two staff for the cooperation with EU: one in the International Cooperation department and one in the Welfare department.

    In other departments, the social welfare department and the disaster preparedness and response department, there are at least 4 other persons dealing with EU relevant topics. But not all of them work exclusively for EU issues. Therefore we included 4 people with each 25% of their working time.
