    The EESC and the Mediterranean
    The events of the «Arab Spring» and the political, social and economic changes that have resulted from them are today the main theme of relations between the European Union and the Mediterranean partner countries, and are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
    The EESC’s mission both in the past and the present has been to involve socio-economic players and other civil society representatives in policymaking in the region. The EESC firmly believes that this is vital for the overall success of policies and is fully committed to developing the civil society dimension of Euro-Mediterranean cooperation.

    The EESC and Latin America
    Relations between the EESC and Latin America have represented an important aspect of the work of the Section for External Relations for more than 10 years.
    The EESC’s work with Latin America is pursued within the framework of the EU’s policies regarding the region. In practical terms, the EU-Latin America-Caribbean Bi-regional Strategic Partnership, unveiled by the European Commission in 2006, and the negotiations for Association Agreements with Central America, Colombia, Peru, Mercosur and the EU-Brazil Strategic Partnership, have prompted a parallel increase in work by organised civil society on both sides.

    "From April 2012, European citizens will enjoy a new right, which will give them a stronger voice in EU affairs when the European Citizens’ Initiative enters into force. From that moment on, they will be able to express their demands in a new, unprecedented way. By collecting one million signatures across Europe, they can call upon the European Commission to propose or change European legislation. The European Economic and Social Committee has been an advocate of citizens’ rights to participate since the beginning of the European project. This guide is to provide you with an idea of how to get involved."
