The 10th Meeting of the EU-Brazil Civil Society Round Table took place in Brussels on 25-26 February 2026. Hosted by the European Economic and Social Committee, the dialogue was co-chaired by the EESC President, Mr Séamus Boland and Ms Raimunda Monteiro, Deputy Executive Secretary of the CDESS.
The meeting will bring together civil society representatives from both regions to advance dialogue, strengthen cooperation, and identify practical avenues for joint action.
The European Commission's communication Towards a stronger international role of the euro [ COM(2018) 796 final] from December 2018 outlined a series of possible measures to enhance the role of the euro in the international monetary system, so that it becomes more commensurate to the euro area's political, economic and financial weight. These measures include encouraging the use of the euro as a reserve currency, in debt instruments issued by foreign governments and businesses, and in international payments, especially on the commodities markets.
