Nowadays, 99% of citizens at Valencia Region lives in municipalities associated to FVMP.  

FVMP has the following aims:

  • Promotion and defence of Local Administration autonomy.
  • Representation, defence and promotion of the interests of Local Administration.
  • Development and consolidation of the European spirit in the local scope.
  •  Promotion and accomplishment of studies for the best knowledge of the problems and circumstances in local life.
  • Cooperation and technical assistance to the development of local interests.
  • Promotion and execution of training programmes on local subjects directed to politicians and civil employees.
  • Promotion of public or private business activities that contribute to local economic development and to employment growth.

As we see above, one of the FVMP aims is the development and consolidation of the European spirit in the local scope, and in this framework FVMP sponsors the Foundation Valencia Region-European Region and cooperates closely with Valencia Region Delegation in Brussels. Also FVMP has a Municipal Office in Brussels, to facilitate the relations between Valencia Municipalities and EU and to bring Europe closer to the citizens.
