The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) acknowledges the European Court of Auditors’ (ECA) performance audit report on the EU advisory bodies – the EESC and the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) – and values its recommendations.
On 25th of March, the EESC Workers’ Group gathered together with a number of guest speakers from academia, trade unions and MEPs from the European Parliament, to discuss the current geopolitical situation, its impact on social and defence expenditure, its spillovers on supply chains and industry, and the consequences for the welfare states and workers’ rights.
In an opinion adopted at its March plenary on the review of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) calls for the EU’s sustainable finance framework to remain robust and aligned with the Green Deal. While supporting simplification, the Committee warns that the revision must preserve transparency, prevent greenwashing and keep capital flowing towards the green and social transition.
