The common objective of the Churches for the Finnish EU Presidency is to generally present their perspectives and to tell more widely about their work on both a national, ecumenical and international level in issues that are of importance for the Churches. 

The Churches wish to support the public administration in issues related to the Presidency. The aim is a regular dialogue especially with the Government Secretariat of EU Affairs in issues which are of importance for the Churches and in which they can give added value to the general debate.
