The sector seminars are organized twice a year by the Permanent Representations and Trade Promotion Organizations of twenty-three Member States of the European Union. United Kingdom has been accepted by the group during the transition period provided for by the UK–EU Withdrawal Agreement”. These one day events are structured in two sessions: a morning session where European institutions’ officials involved in External aid programmes give an overview of the financing available for the sector chosen and an afternoon session where one to one meetings between participating companies take place.

In recent years, the implementation of the budget that the European Union allocates to third countries has experienced what could be regarded as a revolution.
