In the context of the ongoing exploratory opinion, requested by the Polish Presidency, to examine how civil society actors can make use of a results-orientation approach in cohesion policy in the next programming period, the EESC is organizing a hearing in Warsaw on 17 January 2025. The hearing will be important as the EESC will explore how civil society and local actors understand the concept of a results-orientation approach to cohesion policy, to which degree they are prepared and if they have the administrative capacity to implement it.
The hearing is co-organized with the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU and it has the patronage of the Polish Presidency. The venue is the premises of the Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy of Poland.

La section ECO organise un débat de haut niveau sur le financement de la défense dans l’UE. Ce sujet est de la plus haute importance dans le débat politique actuel, notamment compte tenu du nouveau contexte géopolitique, du nouveau cycle institutionnel et législatif de l’UE qui vient de débuter et des préparatifs du cadre financier pluriannuel post-2027.
Le CESE organise ce débat public afin de discuter de la manière dont les partenaires de la société civile peuvent utiliser une approche axée sur les résultats dans la politique de cohésion pour la prochaine période de programmation. Les principes de la gouvernance à plusieurs niveaux et de la gestion partagée sont-ils contradictoires ou complémentaires à la politique de cohésion axée sur les résultats ?
