Rusland
EØSU's samarbejde med civilsamfundsorganisationerne i Rusland reguleres af de fem vejledende principper for forholdet mellem EU og Rusland, der er aftalt mellem EU's udenrigsministre og EU's højtstående repræsentant for udenrigsanliggender og sikkerhedspolitik. Et af disse vejledende principper omhandler "støtte til mellemfolkelige forbindelser".
Dialog og udveksling mellem civilsamfundsrepræsentanter fra EU og Rusland bidrager i betydelig grad til den fortsatte gennemførelse af det strategiske partnerskab mellem EU og Rusland. EØSU har anlagt en tostrenget strategi for sine forbindelser med det russiske civilsamfund for at involvere en så bred vifte af civilsamfundsrepræsentanter som muligt. Udvalget opretholder forbindelserne til sin officielle russiske pendant Den Russiske Føderations civilkammer og arrangerer bl.a. årlige fælles seminarer om emner af interesse for civilsamfundet på begge sider. EØSU's anden partner er Civilsamfundsforummet EU-Rusland, hvor en anden type civilsamfundsorganisationer mødes.
Opfølgningsudvalget EU/Rusland er et internt EØSU-organ, der fungerer som en styringsgruppe og er ansvarligt for at udvikle og bibeholde forbindelserne og arrangere møder og fælles seminarer med civilsamfundet i Rusland.

Speech by President Luca JAHIER
The EU is highly dependent on energy resources. More than a half of EU energy consumption is linked to imports. Increasing instability in the Middle East together with the deterioration of EU-Russia relations mean that energy security will remain at the top of the EU's agenda in the coming years. How can we achieve a true energy union? How can interconnectivity be increased between Member States? What should the ideal energy mix look like and how can energy efficiency be increased within the EU? The publication summarises the debate that seeks answers to these questions.
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.
