EGSO u Europi održava odnose sa socijalnim partnerima i organizacijama civilnog društva na zapadnom Balkanu, u istočnom susjedstvu, u državama EFTA-e koje su članice EGP-a, odnosno u Islandu, Lihtenštajnu i Norveškoj, te u Ujedinjenoj Kraljevini.

Odbor za praćenje zapadnog Balkana – trajno unutarnje tijelo EGSO-a – glavni je instrument za koordinaciju aktivnosti EGSO-a u toj regiji. Forum civilnog društva zapadnog Balkana, koji se održava svake dvije godine, spada u rad tog Odbora za praćenje.

EGSO također bilateralno surađuje sa zemljama zapadnog Balkana koje su započele pregovore o pristupanju i s Turskom putem specijaliziranih tijela osnovanih na temelju sporazuma o pridruživanju između tih zemalja i EU-a. Svrha je tih zajedničkih savjetodavnih odbora uključiti socijalne partnere i organizacije civilnog društva u praćenje pretpristupnog procesa i procesa reformi koji bi mogli dovesti do članstva u EU-u. Svako od tih tijela sastoji se od jednakog broja članova iz EGSO-a i partnerske zemlje i obično se sastaje jednom ili dvaput godišnje.

EGSO je također osnovao Odbor za praćenje istočnog susjedstva, unutarnje tijelo nadležno za jačanje odnosa s civilnim društvom u zemljama te regije, odnosno Armeniji, Azerbajdžanu, Bjelorusiji, Gruziji, Moldaviji i Ukrajini.

Glavni mehanizmi suradnje s Armenijom, Gruzijom, Moldavijom i Ukrajinom su platforme civilnog društva koje organizacijama civilnog društva iz EU-a i partnerskih zemalja omogućuju praćenje provedbe sporazuma EU-a s tim zemljama i izradu preporuka za nadležna tijela. Povrh toga, Ukrajina i Moldavija postale su zemlje kandidatkinje 2022.

Kad je riječ o Bjelorusiji i Rusiji, razvijaju se odnosi s onim organizacijama civilnog društva koje još slobodno djeluju, od kojih je većina smještena na teritoriju EU-a. EGSO smatra da je važno održavati otvoren dijalog dok se čeka da u budućnosti zavladaju bolji uvjeti.

Europski gospodarski prostor (EGP) okuplja države članice EU-a i tri države EFTA-e (Island, Lihtenštajn i Norvešku) na unutarnjem tržištu na kojem se roba, usluge, kapital i osobe slobodno kreću. EGSO je član Savjetodavnog odbora za Europski gospodarski prostor, u kojem se s predstavnicima socijalnih partnera iz država EFTA-e koje su članice EGP-a raspravlja o pitanjima od zajedničkog interesa.

Naposljetku, u okviru EGSO-a djeluje i Odbor za praćenje EU-a i Ujedinjene Kraljevine čija je zadaća pratiti odnose između EU-a i Ujedinjene Kraljevine Velike Britanije i Sjeverne Irske iz perspektive civilnog društva. Taj se odbor prvenstveno bavi provedbom Sporazuma o povlačenju Ujedinjene Kraljevine iz EU-a i Protokola o Irskoj i Sjevernoj Irskoj, o kojima raspravlja s organizacijama civilnog društva iz Ujedinjene Kraljevine, kao i provedbom Sporazuma o trgovini i suradnji između EU-a i Ujedinjene Kraljevine, u vezi s kojim surađuje s Unutarnjom savjetodavnom skupinom EU-a uspostavljenom u okviru tog ugovora.
