The cost of non-Europe - the benefits of the single market

Vedtaget on 13/07/2022

The EESC believes that the single market is essentially about achieving social and economic convergence aimed at reducing inequalities and ensuring that worsening social imbalances do not end up becoming serious obstacles to European integration. The EESC recommends a coordinated approach between Member States on the marketing of products affected by the crisis in Ukraine. The crisis caused by Russia’s aggression has created formidable supply restrictions. An "open strategic autonomy" should be adopted, especially in key sectors, to help build resilience, diversification and an ambitious trade agenda.

Digital identity, data sovereignty and the path towards a just digital transition for citizens living in the information society

Vedtaget on 13/07/2022

TEN/773-EESC-2022
Rapporteur: 
Dumitru FORNEA (Workers - GR II / Romania)

European citizens are interested in developments in the implementation of digital technology solutions, with a view to simplifying the necessary administrative procedures in relation to the authorities or in everyday life in society. A digitally literate population can benefit, through digital identity, from simplified access to the services provided by public authorities or the business environment.

Secure 5G deployment – EU toolbox

Vedtaget on 18/09/2020
Reference: 
TEN/704-EESC-2020
Referral: 
COM(2020) 50 final
Rapporteur: 
Alberto MAZZOLA (Italy)
Co-rapporteur: 
Dumitru FORNEA (Workers - GR II/Romania)

The EESC asks the Commission to strictly monitor progress in the deployment and real use of 5G and calls on the Member States to further accelerate the process and ensure a responsible implementation.

In particular, the EESC believes it is vital to assess the risk profile of suppliers and apply relevant restrictions for suppliers considered to be high risk. In addition, the EESC reiterates its suggestion of having at least two suppliers for each country, at least one of which is European, in order to ensure political security of data and respect for heath requirements.

The EESC recommends that European technological diplomacy be strengthened to enable the EU to ensure more balanced, reciprocal conditions for trade and investment, in particular as regards market access, subsidies, public procurement, technology transfers, industrial property and social and environmental standards.

Single Market Enforcement Action Plan

Vedtaget on 15/07/2020
Reference: 
INT/899-EESC-2020
Referral: 
COM(2020) 94 final
Rapporteur: 
Gerardo LARGHI (Italy)
Co-rapporteur: 
Gonçalo LOBO XAVIER (Employers - GR I/Portugal)

The EESC supports the Commission's 'Long-term action plan for better implementation and enforcement of single market rules' and endorses the Communication on Identifying and tackling barriers to the single market.
The EESC believes that the insufficient or inadequate application of EU rules has been the Achilles heel of EU law and that therefore many instances of fraud and illegal behaviour have not been dealt with. It urges the Commission to include in the action plan a clearly defined role for civil society actors, entrepreneurs, workers and consumers.

The own-initiative opinion presents the EESC’s views on the gaps in the current system and indicates potential measures for a European wide push for digital up-skilling of health and care workers, and also for policies that prevent further digital divides by addressing skill gaps in the population at large. This own-initiative opinion is in part a follow-up to the own-initiative opinion entitled "Towards digital health".

COM(2018) 630 final 2018/0328 COD
Rapporteur: 
Antonio LONGO (Italy)
Co-rapporteur: 
Alberto MAZZOLA (Italy)

The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) welcomes the Commission's initiative, considering it an important step in developing an industrial strategy for cybersecurity and a strategic move to achieve robust and comprehensive digital autonomy. These aspects are essential for strengthening Europe's defence mechanisms against the ongoing cyberwarfare that threatens to undermine its political, economic and social systems.

Preventing the dissemination of terrorist content online

Rapporteur: 
José Antonio MORENO DÍAZ (Workers - GR II / Spain)

The EESC welcomes the Commission proposal on preventing the dissemination of terrorist content online, while calling for the indeterminate legal concepts such as "terrorist information, terrorist acts, terrorist groups or advocacy of terrorism" to be defined as precisely as possible. The EESC highlights the need to assess the effects of the application of this proposal on SMEs, as well as to consider transition arrangements facilitating their adaptation and a level playing field.
