Отношенията между ЕС и неговите южни съседи са един от нашите приоритети. Работата ни обхваща голямо разнообразие от области, като например участието на гражданското общество в политическия и гражданския диалог, демократичния преход, младежката заетост, устойчивото развитие, мобилността и имиграцията, търговията, енергията от възобновяеми източници и развитието на стопанската дейност.

ЕИСК работи по тези въпроси от 1995 г. насам. След промените в региона през 2010 г. ние коригирахме съответно и своите цели, като се стремим:

  • да подкрепяме организациите на гражданското общество в държавите в преход. Тази подкрепа е насочена по-специално към синдикалните организации и организациите на работодателите, както и към жените, младите хора и сдруженията на земеделските стопани;
  • да поддържаме двустранни отношения с националните икономически и социални съвети в региона и да работим за създаването на условия за включване на гражданското общество в политическия диалог в южните държави партньори;
  • да публикуваме становища и съвместни доклади относно ключовите предизвикателства за политиките, пред които е изправен регионът;
  • да провеждаме редовни срещи с европейските институции и международните организации с цел обсъждане на политиките, засягащи гражданското общество в целия регион;
  • да организираме годишна среща на високо равнище за икономическите и социални съвети и сродни институции, на която на лицата, определящи политиката, от националните правителства и ЕС се представят ключови препоръки по политиката във връзка с основните предизвикателства пред региона.
