„Hey, I’m here!“ – This was the motto of Stefan Lock’s first few weeks as the new head of the EU Commission’s regional representation in Bonn. At the beginning of April, he took over from Jochen Pöttgen, who had been transferred to Brussels. After a number of temporary appointments, the oldest regional EU office is now staffed again. In his first few weeks, Lock visited the State Chancellery of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Mayor of Bonn, Katja Dörner.
