The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) held a conference on the prospects for the European economy in times of crisis. The event gathered high-level policy-makers, civil society representatives and economic researchers to see how the EU can tackle new dilemmas posed by low-growth prospects and record-high levels of inflation. All agreed that the war in Ukraine has only aggravated trends that have been going on for years.

The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has announced its winners in the first ever EU Organic Awards, co-organised with the European Commission and other partners to reward excellence along the European organic value chain.

The recent crises, together with the colossal economic and social challenges of our time, threaten the principle of decent work. At its September plenary, the European Economic and Social Committee adopted an opinion on Decent Work Worldwide calling for stakeholders involvement, consumer social responsibility, and effective global regulatory frameworks.

Le CESE a tenu un débat en session plénière sur l’importance croissante de la société civile organisée et des villes pour mettre l’Europe en capacité de faire face aux chocs asymétriques et aux crises imprévues. Cet échange de vues est intervenu dans le contexte de l’adoption de deux avis, sur l’assistance flexible aux territoires (FAST-CARE) et sur l’accord de Ljubljana relatif au programme urbain pour l’UE.
