The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is the biggest and most ambitious free trade agreement currently being negotiated by the European Union. Economists believe that an agreement with the USA will be advantageous for both the European Union and the USA, and the negative effects of trade liberalisation will be insignificant. This publication is a summary of the debate on "What development opportunities does the TTIP bring to Europe?" that was held in Sopot on 2 October 2014 as part of the European Forum for New Ideas.

Комитетът за наблюдение „ЕС-Русия“ е вътрешният орган на ЕИСК, отговарящ за отношенията с руското гражданско общество.
След започването на войната срещу Украйна от властите на Руската федерация на 24 февруари 2022 г. свободното гражданско общество в Русия беше накарано да замълчи със специални закони и нарастващи репресии, а много критици на режима бяха принудени да отидат в изгнание.
При настоящите трудни обстоятелства ЕИСК реши да остави отворена вратата за диалог с антивоенния сегмент на руското гражданско общество, който е представен на територията на ЕС.
Това доведе до ползотворен обмен на информация и мнения за това как следва да се развиват двустранните отношения след края на войната и възстатовяването на свободата и демокрацията в страната.
