Fundamental rights and the rule of law – Report on the country visit to France and authorities’ observations on the report

On 27 and 28 November 2024, six EESC members took part in the country visit to France. The delegation met with several representatives of civil society, specifically civil society organisations (CSOs), the social partners, the media and the legal professions, as well as the French authorities. The aim of this report is to faithfully reflect and reproduce the views of French civil society on freedom of association, freedom of assembly, the rule of law.

The above-mentioned meetings were framed under the five following themes:

  • Fundamental rights of social partners
  • Freedom of association and freedom of assembly
  • Freedom of expression and freedom of the media
  • Non-discrimination
  • The rule of law

The input received during the meetings has been included in a report drafted by the delegation members. This report has been communicated to the French authorities, which in turn submitted their reply.
