Today's event and its main focus – the EESC opinion on the gender dimension in the Europe 2020 Strategy – are essential to put gender equality and gender mainstreaming on the European agenda.
The EESC has always been very active when it comes to promoting gender equality. Over the last 8 years, we have adopted some 20 opinions on crucial challenges to it.

Le CESE se félicite, malgré le retard pris, de la naissance prochaine d'une union bancaire européenne. Il est crucial que les gouvernements des États membres aient la largesse de vues nécessaire pour créer plus d'Europe, transférer certaines de leurs compétences et faire en sorte qu'elles s'appliquent en vue de réaliser une véritable gouvernance européenne, qui soit utile sur le plan social et efficace sur le plan économique. De nouvelles règles plus strictes offriront une sécurité accrue aux citoyens et aux marchés.

Many things have happen since our last Steering Committee meeting at the end of March. Since then, while the economic situation remains fragile, we have witnessed a lot of developments as concerns growth. There is now a growing consensus, not only in Europe, on the need for both stability and growth.
President`s speech at the 9th meeting of the Europe 2020 Steering Committee
Our message to the European Institutions is clear: that both EU and national policies should create a level playing field allowing social entrepreneurship and cooperatives to compete with other forms of enterprises without giving up their aims and working methods.

Staffan Nilsson's Intervention before EC President Barroso takes the floor Welcome! I would say it is a good moment, at the beginning of the year, for us to share our views with you, and for you to share with us the Commission's priorities and the Commission's needs in terms of the advice we can give.
The critical situation we are in is more than about economic aspects, it is about social, political and confidence. I feel to say it again and again that we need structural reforms with long-term effect. We look at this from a non-political perspective, from the civil society perspective. We think that austerity measures are necessary, but it is more than about budget and discipline. The management of economic policy in the euro area and in the EU also needs to be more comprehensive and ambitious.
