The mission of the Permanent Representation of Portugal to the European Union is to defend Portugal's interests, ensure that Portugal is at the centre of European decisions, contribute to the common European policies and, in this context, to find answers to the needs and aspirations of the citizens of Portugal.

The Commission's Representations perform various functions, including connecting with national, regional and local authorities: organising visits of the President and the Commissioners; providing the Commission with political information and analysis; maintaining media relations; communicating to various audiences.

Portugal joined the European Union in 1986 and was one of the first countries to adopt the euro on 1 January 1999.
