En el segundo semestre de 2021, Eslovenia ocupará por segunda vez la Presidencia del Consejo de la UE. Y, por segunda vez, lo hará en un momento crítico para Europa.
La UE se enfrentó a la crisis financiera en 2008, y hoy en día sigue luchando contra las consecuencias sociales y económicas de la pandemia de COVID-19. Por lo tanto, no es sorprendente que la preparación y la resiliencia de la UE frente a las crisis, en particular las crisis sanitarias, se encuentren entre las principales prioridades de la Presidencia eslovena, junto con otros retos políticos como la ciberseguridad. La Presidencia eslovena también se encargará de poner en práctica muchas de las tareas asociadas a la Conferencia sobre el Futuro de Europa.
El CESE espera colaborar estrechamente con la Presidencia eslovena, sobre todo porque nuestras prioridades convergen: la recuperación, las transiciones ecológica y digital justas, así como la defensa del Estado de Derecho, están también en el centro del trabajo del CESE.
