Dear readers,
May is traditionally the month when we take stock of the progress made in European integration and at the same time look to the future.
On Sunday 9 May, as every year, we celebrated Europe with a special day full of activities. For the second year in a row, we held a completely virtual version of our institution's Open Day, showcasing the EESC's invaluable contribution to the EU decision-making process and explaining why, especially in these difficult and challenging times, civil society organisations play a key and unique role in the EU.
