EGSO-ova Skupina radnika
Španjolska u središte svojeg šestomjesečnog predsjedanja Unijom namjerava staviti socijalnu dimenziju EU-a, što će za Europski gospodarski i socijalni odbor podrazumijevati rekordan broj savjetovanja o nekima od glavnih socijalnih pitanja današnjice.
Španjolska će u srpnju preuzeti predsjedanje Vijećem EU-a, u trenutku kada se približavamo isteku mandata predsjednice von der Leyen, odnosno europskim izborima 2024. Imajući na umu ne samo završetak ovog već i prioritete sljedećeg mandatnog razdoblja, Španjolska je jasno istaknula kojim bi se socijalnim aspektima Europa trebala baviti te najavila da je spremna otvoriti neke od najkontroverznijih dosjea o socijalnim pitanjima i poticati rad na njima.
Stoga ne iznenađuje da je ta zemlja od EGSO-a zatražila iznimno velik broj razmatračkih mišljenja: njih čak 20. Ta se mišljenja kreću od protokola o socijalnom napretku, za koji se EGSO zalagao na Konferenciji o budućnosti Europe (i koji je naposljetku uključen u preporuke) do pitanja demokracije na radnom mjestu, zelenog kolektivnog pregovaranja, mentalnog zdravlja i nesigurnih radnih mjesta, ali i prijedloga za postupak u slučaju socijalnih neravnoteža. EGSO već dovršava rad na nekima od njih te će stoga biti spreman davati svoj doprinos političkom procesu od samog početka. (ppr)
