Belgium took the helm of the EU on 1 January and will hold the presidency of the Council of the EU during the crucial first half of 2024. The highlight will undoubtedly be the European elections in June, when European citizens can decide on the future course of the Union. We will play an active role in communicating information about the elections and encouraging voters to go to the polls. "The EESC, as the home of organised civil society, will work closely with the Belgian Presidency to build a stronger, more resilient and more democratic Europe", says EESC President Oliver Röpke.

This new brochure presents our activities during the first half of the year and the key files our sections are working on, as well as the exploratory opinions requested by the Belgian presidency.
Curious to find out who our Belgian members are?

You can discover here who they are and what parts of civil society they represent. Information is in Dutch, French, German and English (cw).
