EU Delegation Rome focusses in large part on the UN agencies based in Rome (FAO, WFP, IFAD) and the UN Committee on World Food Security, all focussing on food and nutrition, agriculture and rural development within their respective mandates. The UN section is responsible for the regular contacts with these organisations, participation in intergovernmental meetings and informal meetings, EU coordination with the EU Member States and relationship-building and collaboration with the wider membership of these organisations. The Delegation is also the link between the EU HQ in Brussels and the UN agencies in Rome. The small Holy See team is responsible for promoting EU interests in relation to the Holy See, maintains regular contacts with counterparts in the Holy See, and other Embassies accredited to the Holy See and is also the link between HQ and the Holy See.
