The EESC has six sections, specialising in concrete topics of relevance to the citizens of the European Union, ranging from social to economic affairs, energy, environment, external relations or the internal market.
In its own-initiative opinion on the new European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) Action Plan, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) welcomes the European Commission’s initiative and urges a renewed and ambitious approach. The EESC highlights the need to reinforce the social dimension of the EU, particularly in light of ongoing green and digital transitions and persistent inequalities. It calls for a stronger focus on social investment, quality employment, inclusive labour markets, fair mobility and accessible social protection systems. The Committee underlines the importance of involving civil society and social partners at all levels and recommends establishing clear targets, effective monitoring and adequate funding to ensure the full implementation of the EPSR principles.
Ces dernières années, différentes crises dont les contours s’enchevêtrent, allant des effets persistants de la pandémie à l’escalade des enjeux liés au changement climatique, en passant par l’augmentation du coût de la vie et l’aggravation des inégalités de revenus, ont créé un terrain propice à l’apparition de clivages. L’instabilité sociale, les ralentissements économiques et le mécontentement généralisé, en particulier parmi les personnes qui estiment ne pas être entendues et se sentent laissées pour compte, ont encore aggravé les fractures au sein de la société.
