On 16-17 October 2024, the Fundamental Rights and Rule of Law (FRRL) Group of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) concluded a two-day visit to Rome.
This visit gave the opportunity to the group of six EESC Members to hear civil society representatives about key trends in Italy, concerning fundamental rights of social partners, freedoms of association and assembly, freedom of expression (including media freedom), the right to non-discrimination, and the rule of law.
In a recent set of recommendations adopted in October, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) called for immediate measures to combat climate change, while highlighting the economic opportunities it also presents. By investing in sustainable practices and promoting a collaborative global approach, the EU can mitigate the risks associated with climate change.
20 years on, having overcome early growing pains, navigated teenage challenges, and experienced both successes and setbacks, the Liaison Group stands strong as a reliable and trusted partner, offering consistent value and expertise to the EESC.
