Le comité de suivi «UE-Russie» est un organe interne du CESE chargé des relations avec la société civile russe.

Depuis que les autorités russes ont déclenché la guerre contre l’Ukraine le 24 février 2022, la société civile libre de Russie a été réduite au silence par des lois spéciales et une répression croissante, tandis que de nombreux opposants au régime ont été contraints à l’exil.

Dans les circonstances difficiles actuelles, le CESE a décidé de laisser la porte ouverte au dialogue avec les membres de la société civile russe opposés à la guerre et présents sur le territoire de l’Union.

Des échanges d’informations et de points de vue constructifs ont ainsi pu avoir lieu sur la manière dont les relations bilatérales devront se poursuivre après la fin de la guerre et le retour de la liberté et la démocratie dans le pays.

    The EESC believes that Northern Dimension cooperation should not only comprise actors from governmental and regional levels but it should also involve business organisations, trade unions and non-governmental organisations. Civil society is an important Northern Dimension actor: the role of civil society organisations in the implementation of the different projects is essential.

    The EESC has called for a European stimulus package for the labour market policy, amounting to 2% of GDP. We recognise that the "Compact for Growth and Jobs" adopted at the European Council summit in June 2012 is a first important step in that direction. This must be further fleshed out to create the needed room for manoeuvre for sustainable growth and employment across the Europe.

    A lot has happened both in the EU and in the countries of its close neighbourhood since the EU-led Black Sea Synergy initiative providing scope for regional cooperation was launched (in 2008). A lot has evolved since the last Black Sea NGO Forum took place. What did not change however is a vital need for civil society active engagement and mobilization of all parts of our societies to act together.
