Латинска Америка и Карибски басейн

ЕИСК работи с организации партньори от Латинска Америка и Карибите от 90-те години на миналия век насам. Няколко становища на ЕИСК бяха съсредоточени върху отношенията с този регион на регионално, подрегионално и национално равнище. Приоритетите на ЕИСК включват развитие на организациите на гражданското общество, икономическо и социално развитие, регионална интеграция и сътрудничество на многостранна основа.

На регионално равнище, като едно от подготвителните събития преди срещата на високо равнище ЕС – CELAC, ЕИСК организира срещи на всеки две години между представители на организациите на гражданското общество в Европа, Латинска Америка и Карибите. 

На подрегионално и национално равнище са създадени няколко постоянни структури: през 2009 г. ЕИСК създаде Кръгла маса на гражданското общество с бразилския Икономически и социален съвет с цел да осигури форум за диалог и постоянно сътрудничество между представителите на бразилското и европейското гражданско общество. Споразумението за асоцииране между ЕС и Чили предостави на Комитета мандат за създаване на Съвместен консултативен комитет с неговия партньор от гражданското общество на Чили с цел наблюдение на споразумението, който беше сформиран едва през 2016 г. Що се отнася до държавите от Андската общност, ЕИСК участва във Вътрешната консултативна група, която наблюдава Споразумението за свободна търговия между ЕС и Колумбия, Перу и Еквадор. Той също така участва в Консултативния комитет „Карифорум—ЕС“, който наблюдава Споразумението за икономическо партньорство между Карифорум и ЕС. Бяха установени постоянни връзки с институционалните партньори на ЕИСК в Меркосур (Икономическия и социален консултативен форум) и Централна Америка (Консултативния комитет на Системата за интеграция на Централна Америка)
