Russland
Der Begleitausschuss EU-Russland ist das interne Gremium des EWSA, das für die Aufrechterhaltung der Beziehungen zur russischen Zivilgesellschaft zuständig ist.
Seit die Regierung der Russischen Föderation am 24. Februar 2022 den Krieg gegen die Ukraine begonnen hat, wurde die freie Zivilgesellschaft in Russland durch Sondergesetze und wachsende Repressionen zum Schweigen gebracht. Viele Kritiker des Regimes waren gezwungen, ins Exil zu gehen.
Trotz der aktuell schwierigen Lage hat der EWSA beschlossen, sich dem Dialog nicht zu verschließen, sondern ihn mit dem Teil der russischen Zivilgesellschaft, der sich in der EU aufhält und den Krieg ablehnt, aufrechtzuerhalten.
Das Ergebnis ist ein fruchtbarer Informations- und Meinungsaustausch darüber, wie die bilateralen Beziehungen nach dem Ende des Krieges und einer Rückkehr zu Freiheit und Demokratie aussehen sollten.

On 30 and 31 March, 100 students and 39 teachers from all 28 EU Member States and the five EU candidate countries (Albania, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey) met at the EESC in Brussels for “Your Europe, Your Say!” 2017. This year's theme was “Europe @ 60: Where to next?”.
The EESC organised debates with organised civil society in all Member States between 2 September and 2 November 2016. The debates were coordinated by three EESC members ('trios') from the country concerned, often in co-operation with the European Commission (15 debates) or the national Economic and Social Council (7 debates).
On 17-18 March 2016, students from schools in all 28 EU Member States and, for the first time, from the 5 EU candidate countries (Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Turkey) met at the EESC in Brussels for Your Europe, Your Say!. They came to debate an issue that has been one of the most important topics on the European political agenda for some time: migration and integration. The key question for this year’s event was “How can we better integrate migrants and refugees in our societies?”.
The European Union: how does it work? Can you influence decisions? Do you know how the policies that affect your life are made?
What if some of the EU’s complicated procedures were turned into a game – fun to play but challenging as well – that you could download onto your smartphone, tablet or laptop?

The European Economic and Social Committee has been an ardent supporter of the Eastern Partnership from the very outset and the EESC's Employers' Group has continually emphasised the need to strengthen the partnership's economic dimension. An appropriate tool was needed to enable the representatives of employers, entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises from the EU and its partner countries to meet and openly assess the process of convergence with the European acquis and its impact on the economic situation.
