EGSO i GU ECFIN su u okviru javne rasprave o okviru gospodarskog upravljanja EU-a održali internetsku konferenciju o toj temi. Cilj događanja bio je uključiti civilno društvo kako bi se postigao konsenzus o budućnosti tog okvira.
Predsjednica EGSO-a Christa Schweng otvorila je konferenciju riječima: „Umjesto povratka u normalu zagovaramo revidirani i rebalanisirani okvir gospodarskog upravljanja usmjerenog na blagostanje“ i naglasila da treba uključiti sve dionike, uključujući organizacije civilnog društva. Povjerenik za ekonomiju Paolo Gentiloni nastavio je ustvrdivši da „izgraditi konsenzus do 2023. godine neće biti lako, ali moramo iskoristiti ovu jedinstvenu priliku da svoja fiskalna pravila uskladimo sa svojim ambicijama za ostvarenje snažnog, održivog i uključivog rasta u Europi“. Zastupnica u Europskom parlamentu Margarida Marques zatim je predstavila izvješće Europskog parlamenta o reviziji makroekonomskog zakonodavnog okvira, nakon čega je uslijedila panel-rasprava, čiji je posljednji dio bio posvećen tome kako obnovljenim okvirom gospodarskog upravljanja riješiti problem nedostatka ulaganja radi postizanja dvostruke tranzicije. Izvjestiteljica EGSO-a Dominika Biegon predstavila je svoje samoinicijativno mišljenje „Preoblikovanje fiskalnog okvira EU-a za održiv oporavak i pravednu tranziciju”. (tk)
