Η σχέση της ΕΟΚΕ με τις οργανώσεις της κοινωνίας των πολιτών στη Ρωσία διέπεται από τις πέντε κατευθυντήριες αρχές για τις σχέσεις ΕΕ-Ρωσίας που συμφωνήθηκαν από τους υπουργούς Εξωτερικών της ΕΕ και την Ύπατη Εκπρόσωπο για Θέματα Εξωτερικής Πολιτικής και Πολιτικής Ασφαλείας. Μία από αυτές τις βασικές αρχές είναι η «στήριξη επαφών μεταξύ των λαών».

Ο διάλογος και η ανταλλαγή εμπειριών μεταξύ εκπροσώπων της κοινωνίας των πολιτών από την ΕΕ και τη Ρωσία συμβάλλουν σε σημαντικό βαθμό στη συνεχιζόμενη εφαρμογή της στρατηγικής εταιρικής σχέσης ΕΕ-Ρωσίας. Η ΕΟΚΕ έχει υιοθετήσει προσέγγιση δύο αξόνων στις σχέσεις της με τη ρωσική κοινωνία των πολιτών προκειμένου να συνεργαστεί με το ευρύτερο δυνατό φάσμα εκπροσώπων της κοινωνίας των πολιτών. Από τη μία πλευρά, διατηρεί σχέσεις με το Δημόσιο Επιμελητήριο της Ρωσικής Ομοσπονδίας, επίσημο ομόλογό της στη Ρωσία, και διοργανώνει ―μεταξύ άλλων― ετήσια κοινά σεμινάρια για θέματα που ενδιαφέρουν την κοινωνία των πολιτών και στις δύο πλευρές. Ο άλλος εταίρος της ΕΟΚΕ είναι το Φόρουμ της Κοινωνίας των Πολιτών «ΕΕ-Ρωσία», στο οποίο συμμετέχει ένα διαφορετικό σύνολο οργανώσεων της κοινωνίας των πολιτών.

Η επιτροπή παρακολούθησης «ΕΕ-Ρωσία» συνιστά εσωτερικό όργανο της ΕΟΚΕ, το οποίο λειτουργεί ως συντονιστική ομάδα και είναι υπεύθυνο για την ανάπτυξη και διατήρηση σχέσεων και τη διοργάνωση συναντήσεων και κοινών σεμιναρίων με την κοινωνία των πολιτών στη Ρωσία.

Strengthening European Growth and Competitiveness: Proactive Trade Agenda – NOW!

Event
Helsinki
Finland

The EESC Employers' Group is organising a seminar on "Strengthening European Growth and Competitiveness: Proactive Trade Agenda – NOW!" taking place on 26 October in Helsinki and jointly organized with the Confederation of Finnish Industries and the International Chamber of Commerce, ICC Finland.

Trade and Investment are hugely important for the EU: 1 in 7 EU jobs depend on exports. The EU cannot risk falling behind in the global race to build a wide and ambitious network of free trade agreements. The signing of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement (involving 12 countries and 40% of world GDP) is a timely reminder of this. This seminar, which will be attended by many of our Members together with Finnish employers and entrepreneurs, politicians and academics aims to examine how to best contribute positively to the debate as trade agreements (TTIP - TISA - CETA - EU-JAPAN) increasingly become a top political issue.

Roma women's participation in public life

Event
Public Hearing
European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), Van Maerlant building, room VMA 1, Rue Van Maerlant 2, 1040 Brussels
Belgium

When it comes to Roma issues, the gender dimension has long been neglected. However, women have an essential role in Roma society and ensuring their participation is a key element in improving their situation. Romani women across Europe often face discrimination on multiple fronts: racism for being Roma, as well as gender discrimination.

It is not possible to speak about the inclusion of Roma if half of their community has little or no opportunity to express their needs and make their voice heard. Roma inclusion policy needs Roma women activists and advocates. The gender dimension can also play an important role in the success of National Roma Integration Strategies (NRISs).

Anti-gypsyism: possible responses

Event
Public Hearing
European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), JDE building, room JDE51, Rue Belliard 99, 1040 Brussels
Belgium

Ahead of the international Roma Day on 8 April, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) will hold a hearing on "Anti-gypsyism, possible responses", which will feed into the work of the EESC permanent study group on Roma inclusion monitoring the implementation the EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies.

Anti-gypsyism is an important barrier to the effective implementation of the framework and national integration strategies, and the hearing wants to shed light on possible responses to this cross-cutting problem. The European refugee crisis acerbates problems with general racism, xenophobia which also affects Roma. A hearing on anti-gypsyism and other forms of racism and xenophobia will allow exchanging best practices on how to combat these phenomena.
