Jaume Duch – from the EU Parliament to C • Table.Briefings

Jaume Duch has been Foreign Minister of the Catalan regional government in Barcelona since the summer of this year.

As a speaker in the European Parliament, political neutrality was one of Jaume Duch’s most important qualities. As Catalan Foreign Minister, he now has to position himself politically at a time of important change without losing his usual focus: Europe.

Jaume Duch was born in Barcelona in 1962 but worked for 37 years as a high-ranking EU official several hundred kilometers from the Costa del Maresme. For the last two decades, he has worked in Brussels as spokesman and Director-General for Communications at the EU Parliament. He is now returning to his home country as Minister for the European Union and Foreign Affairs.
