U mišljenju usvojenom 23. veljače EGSO analizirao je komunikaciju Europske komisije o Godišnjem pregledu održivog rasta za 2023. i pozvao Komisiju da ulaže u informiranje o izazovima s kojima se EU suočava i o tome što treba učiniti kako bi ih se prevladalo.
Cilj je godišnjeg pregleda održivog rasta za 2023., u kojem se navode prioriteti ekonomske politike i politike zapošljavanja EU-a za sljedećih 12 do 18 mjeseci, kratkoročno ublažiti negativni učinak energetskih šokova, a srednjoročno poticati održiv i uključiv rast i povećati gospodarsku i socijalnu otpornost EU-a.
Odbor je u svojem mišljenju pozdravio prioritete u pogledu konkurentne održivosti i pozornost posvećenu jačanju socijalnog dijaloga u EU-u. EGSO je također naglasio važnost dobre komunikacije i pozvao Komisiju da u nju ulaže. Kako bi se poboljšalo funkcioniranje jedinstvenog tržišta, EGSO je pozvao na pravedne radne uvjete, djelotvorno tržišno natjecanje i bolje uzimanje u obzir pitanja koja zabrinjavaju civilno društvo. Odbor je također potaknuo države članice da usvoje realan, umjeren i uravnotežen pristup rješavanju problema inflacije.
„Jasno, pouzdano i zajedničko izvješćivanje o našim izazovima i načinu na koji se EU mobilizirao kako bi ih prevladao ključno je za građane. Njime će se izbjeći nesporazumi u pogledu europskog projekta i ojačati ideja ‚Europa za sve’”, rekao je izvjestitelj EGSO-a Gonçalo Lobo Xavier. (tk)
