On 5-6 May 2026, the Fundamental Rights and Rule of Law (FRRL) Group of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) concluded a two-day visit to Prague.
At its April 2026 plenary session, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) adopted an exploratory opinion on EU competitiveness and youth entrepreneurship. Requested by the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU, the opinion sets out how supporting young entrepreneurs can strengthen innovation, foster sustainable growth and help secure the future of Europe’s SMEs.
It is with immense pleasure that I welcome the European Commission's (EC) ambitious social package and in particular, the first EU Anti-Poverty Strategy. I very muchlook forward to the European Economic and Social Committee's (EESC) concrete role in its implementation, through the cooperation agreement to be signed with the European Commission (EC).
