Presentation on the occasion of the EESC conference on Eradicating domestic violence, 21 Sep 2012, Brussels
Rusia
La colaboración del CESE con las organizaciones de la sociedad civil en Rusia se rige por los cinco principios rectores de las relaciones entre la UE y Rusia acordadas entre los ministros de Asuntos Exteriores de la UE y la alta representante de la Unión para Asuntos Exteriores y Política de Seguridad. Uno de estos principios rectores es el «apoyo a los contactos interpersonales».
El diálogo y el intercambio de experiencias entre los representantes de la sociedad civil de la UE y de Rusia contribuyen de forma significativa a la ejecución continua de la Asociación Estratégica UE-Rusia. El CESE ha adoptado un enfoque dual en sus relaciones con la sociedad civil rusa con el fin de colaborar con la mayor variedad posible de representantes de la sociedad civil. Por un lado, mantiene relaciones con la Cámara Cívica de la Federación de Rusia, su equivalente oficial en Rusia, y organiza, entre otras cosas, seminarios conjuntos anuales sobre cuestiones de interés para la sociedad civil de ambas partes. El otro socio del CESE es el Foro de la Sociedad Civil UE-Rusia, que reúne a otro conjunto de organizaciones de la sociedad civil.
El Comité de Seguimiento UE-Rusia es un órgano interno del CESE, que actúa como grupo director y se encarga de desarrollar y mantener relaciones y organizar reuniones y seminarios conjuntos con la sociedad civil en Rusia.

Speech on the occasion of the EESC conference on Eradicating domestic violence, 21 Sep 2012, Brussels
The European Economic and Social Committee is very keen to engage with youth on sustainable development as we are preparing to give input and participate in the UN Conference on Sustainable Development that will take place in 20-22 June in Rio de Janeiro. This Conference is a crucial opportunity to send a clear message for a global change towards a green and sustainable economy and poverty eradication.
Staffan Nilsson`s welcome speech at "Your Europe Your Say"
Youth unemployment rates are much higher than unemployment rates for all ages. More than 5 million young people in the EU are unemployed today. This means that one in five young people on the labour market cannot find a job.
As President of the European Economic and Social Committee, but also as citizen, I believe that we all must act for that our children can be better off than us. My generation did not get any problem to get a job. Our children meet problems now. It is a great concern for me as a person, as a father and as a grandfather, as well as President of the EESC. And Georgios Dassis, President of the Employees' Group in the EESC, shares this concern. This is the reason why we decided to gather here today. Georgios would agree with me that leaving the young people aside would mean compromising the future of the EU and of our children.
