EESC plenary session

On behalf of the Workers’ Group of the European Economic and Social Committee, I wish to express our
deepest condolences after the tragic train accident that occurred yesterday late afternoon in the Andalusian
province of Córdoba, which has claimed so many lives and left many people seriously injured.

On behalf of the Workers’ Group at the European Economic and Social Committee, I want to express our full

solidarity with the French trade unions and workers in their fight to defend May 1st as a mandatory paid and

non-working public holiday.

Debate

On 25 February 2026, the University of Sussex and the EESC will host an event and workshop on European leadership on fossil fuel phase out: Lessons learned and future directions. 

It is taking place at a critical moment - following the outcomes of COP30, amid growing calls for concrete roadmaps to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, and ahead of the world’s first summit on a just transition away from fossil fuels in 2026 - the event will examine how EU leadership, experience, and policy tools can help accelerate action within Europe and beyond.
