Държави, обхванати от процеса на разширяване

This page is also available in:

ЕИСК е активно ангажиран в процеса на разширяване на ЕС и разработи двоен подход – регионален и двустранен, за своите отношения с организациите на гражданското общество в държавите, обхванати от процеса на разширяване.

Що се отнася до регионалния подход, Комитетът за наблюдение „Западни Балкани“ – постоянен вътрешен орган на ЕИСК, е основният инструмент за координиране на дейностите на ЕИСК в този регион. Форумът на гражданското общество в Западните Балкани, който се организира на всеки две години, е част от дейността на Комитета за наблюдение.

С държавите от Западните Балкани и Турция ЕИСК работи и на двустранна основа. Въз основа на споразуменията за асоцииране между тези държави и ЕС, с цел включване на организациите на гражданското общество в процесите на предприсъединяване и присъединяване, ЕИСК създаде три съвместни органа с представителите на гражданското общество – с Турция, Черна гора и Сърбия. Всеки орган се състои от равен брой членове от ЕИСК и от държавата партньор и провежда заседания два пъти годишно.

ЕИСК поддържа редовни контакти и организира съвместни дейности с организациите на гражданското общество на държавите, обхванати от процеса на разширяване, с които все още няма създаден съвместен орган на представителите на гражданското общество.

Работата на съвместните органи е допълнена с изготвянето на становища на ЕИСК относно процесите на предприсъединяване и присъединяване на отделните държави, както и относно теми от регионален интерес.

    The EESC denounces the deterioration of human rights, the rule of law, and democracy, and calls for further improvements of the Commission's Annual Rule of Law Reports.  Among others, it recommends that the Commission ensures meaningful involvement of civil society in both the preparation and follow-up stages of the report at the national level, and expands the Report’s section on CSOs. The Commission's assessment should be based on objective benchmarks and transparent dialogue with CSOs and the Commission needs to develop more precise and measurable country-specific recommendations with clear benchmarks, indicators and deadlines.

    Climate change is an existential threat for the European economy. Therefore, a comprehensive approach is needed. In this context, based on the empirical and data analyses related to the impact of climate change on the real economy, macroeconomic and financial stability is essential. As things currently stand, intensified natural disasters will lead to unprecedented costs that will have an unpredictable impact on public finance.

    The European economy is currently on a downward trend. This will lead to lower revenue and, at the same time, higher demand for spending – mainly related to the costs of climate change, higher borrowing costs and negative trends in demographic development.

    This own-initiative opinion stems from the European Commission call for an "Industry 5.0" based on: human centricity, sustainability and resilience. Industry 5.0 aims thus at broadening the previous concept of Industry 4.0, providing a transformative vision for a sustainable, human-centric and resilient European industry. This opinion will reflect on how to concretely implement the concept of Industry 5.0.

    This opinion is part of the EESC pilot "Enlargement Candidate Members (ECM)" where representatives from Turkey will take part in the study groups an in the Section meeting. The Turkish representatives are: Özgür Burak Akkol (Turkish Confederation of Employer Associations (TİSK), for Group I), Cavit Demiral (Confederation of Turkish Real Trade for Group II) and Ayşe Yürekli (Women Entrepreneurs Association of Türkiye, for Group III).

    The EESC underlines that youth participation mechanisms need to be transparent and that the interests and concerns of young people need to be considered at each stage of the policy-making cycle. It proposes that guidelines are set up to support the monitoring and dissemination of the EUYD (EU Youth Dialogue) outcomes and impact and that an online repository be set up where collected documents would be made available. It calls on the Commission and the Member States to support long-term, sustainable and well-functioning management of the EUYD, including the establishment of institutional memory and capacity building processes.
