16 May 2025 - The Employers' Group held an extraordinary meeting in Warsaw titled Time to unlock a security-driven competitiveness, with the intent to underscore that security – broadly understood as economic, technological, energy, social, and geostrategic stability – is becoming a key component of competitiveness.
For the past three years, the European Economic and Social Committee and the European Parliament’s MEP Water Group have walked side by side in calling for a comprehensive EU Blue Deal – a strategic response to Europe’s growing water challenges. This collaboration continued on 12 May with a joint panel discussion at the European Parliament on Water Challenge and Opportunities in the current European policy context. The event also featured the screening of the documentary on water Facing the Unknown by Dieter-Michael Grohmann, inspired by the book Emergency Preparedness written by EESC Member Paul Rübig and Achim Kaspar.
