Aasias hoiab Euroopa Majandus- ja Sotsiaalkomitee alal suhteid kodanikuühiskonna organisatsioonidega Hiinas, Jaapanis, Singapuris, Lõuna-Koreas ja Vietnamis.

Tegutseb ELi ja Hiina kodanikuühiskonna ümarlaud: see loodi 2007. aastal üheksanda ELi ja Hiina tippkohtumise järel ning see koguneb kord aastas.

Veebruaris 2009 loodi ELi ja Jaapani järelevalvekomitee, et jälgida ELi ja Jaapani suhete kodanikuühiskonna mõõdet ning edendada koostööd Euroopa Majandus- ja Sotsiaalkomitee ning Jaapani äri-, töötajate, keskkonna- ja tarbijaorganisatsioonide ning muude suuremate kodanikuühiskonna organisatsioonide vahel. ELi-Jaapani majanduspartnerluslepingu raames loodi ELi sisenõuanderühm „Jaapan“, kuna partnerluslepingu kaubanduse ja kestliku arengu peatüki raames antakse kodanikuühiskonnale järelevalve- ja nõuandev roll.

EL on sõlminud vabakaubanduslepingud järgmiste Aasia riikidega: Lõuna-Korea (2011), Jaapan (2019), Singapur (2019) ja Vietnam (2020). Neid lepinguid iseloomustab kaubanduse ja kestliku arengu peatükkide lisamine. Lepingud annavad Euroopa Majandus- ja Sotsiaalkomiteele ning teistele kodanikuühiskonna organisatsioonidele – koos kodanikuühiskonna organisatsioonidega partnerriikides – ametliku rolli lepingute täitmise järelevalves ja asjaomaste poliitiliste ametiasutuste nõustamisel. See tegevus toimub sisenõuanderühmade abil keskkonnaalaste, sotsiaalsete ning töönormide valdkonnas ja muudes küsimustes, mis on kodanikuühiskonna jaoks otseselt olulised. Igal aastal toimub kaks kuni kolm ELi sisenõuanderühmade koosolekut ja ühiskoosolek toimub kord aastas.

Lisaks suhtleb Euroopa Majandus- ja Sotsiaalkomitee kodanikuühiskonnaga muudes Aasia riikides ja asjaomastel rahvusvahelistel üritustel ad hoc-põhimõttel.

  • The EESC Employers' Group is organising a seminar on "Strengthening European Growth and Competitiveness: Proactive Trade Agenda – NOW!" taking place on 26 October in Helsinki and jointly organized with the Confederation of Finnish Industries and the International Chamber of Commerce, ICC Finland.

    Trade and Investment are hugely important for the EU: 1 in 7 EU jobs depend on exports. The EU cannot risk falling behind in the global race to build a wide and ambitious network of free trade agreements. The signing of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement (involving 12 countries and 40% of world GDP) is a timely reminder of this. This seminar, which will be attended by many of our Members together with Finnish employers and entrepreneurs, politicians and academics aims to examine how to best contribute positively to the debate as trade agreements (TTIP - TISA - CETA - EU-JAPAN) increasingly become a top political issue.

  • During the meeting, the EU DAG will discuss with a representative of the European Parliament the progress in work on its report on implementation of the EU-Korea FTA. The Group may also inquire about the outcomes of the EP's mission to the Republic of Korea, which took place in May 2016. The European Commission will update participants on the state of play and the next steps in the ex-post evaluation of the agreement as well as implementation of the EU-Korea joint project related to the ILO Convention No. 111. The Commission will also inform the Group about the preparations for the meetings with Korea under the trade and sustainable development chapter, which will be held in Brussels by the end of 2016. The EU DAG will discuss moreover preparations for the next EU-Korea Civil Society Forum.

    The External Relations Section (REX) of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is responsible for dialogue between European civil society organisations and their homologues from the countries with which the European Union has formal relations (e.g. under the form of a Free Trade Agreement). Through this dialogue, made possible by a series of bilateral bodies, and through specialized opinions and information reports, the Committee is able to concretely contribute to EU foreign policy.
