Latinska Amerika i karipske zemlje

EGSO surađuje s ekvivalentnim latinoameričkim i karipskim organizacijama od 1990-ih godina. Nekoliko mišljenja EGSO-a bilo je usmjereno na odnose s tom regijom na regionalnoj, podregionalnoj i nacionalnoj razini. Neki od prioriteta EGSO-a su razvoj organizacija civilnog društva, gospodarski i socijalni razvoj, regionalna integracija i suradnja na multilateralnoj razini.

Na razini regije EGSO organizira sastanke između predstavnika organizacija civilnog društva u Europi, Latinskoj Americi i Karibima koji se održavaju svake dvije godine i jedno su od pripremnih događanja za sastanak na vrhu između EU-a i CELAC-a.

Na podregionalnoj i nacionalnoj razini osnovano je nekoliko trajnih tijela: godine 2009. EGSO je zajedno s brazilskim Vijećem za gospodarski i socijalni razvoj osnovao Okrugli stol civilnog društva kako bi se predstavnicima brazilskog i europskog civilnog društva omogućio forum za dijalog i trajnu suradnju. EGSO je Sporazumom o pridruživanju između EU-a i Čilea dobio mandat da sa svojim kolegama iz čileanskog civilnog društva osnuje Zajednički savjetodavni odbor koji će pratiti Sporazum, a koji je u konačnici uspostavljen 2016. godine. Kad je riječ o andskim zemljama, EGSO sudjeluje u radu Unutarnje savjetodavne skupine koja prati Sporazum o slobodnoj trgovini između EU-a i Kolumbije/Perua/Ekvadora. Sudjeluje i u radu Savjetodavnog odbora CARIFORUM-a i EU-a koji nadzire Sporazum o gospodarskom partnerstvu između država CARIFORUM-a i EU-a. Uspostavljeni su stalni odnosi EGSO-a s institucijskim ekvivalentima zemalja Mercosura (Gospodarski i socijalni savjetodavni forum) i Srednje Amerike (Savjetodavni odbor integracijskog sustava Srednje Amerike).

    "I am also here as a spokesperson for Latin American civil society organisations, who have given me the honourable task of bringing our joint recommendations - civil society recommendations - to our heads of state or government. We produced these recommendations at the 7th EU-Latin America meeting of organised civil society that we held here, in Santiago, in December last year. We are convinced of the importance for civil society to be at the centre of EULatin America relations. Participation is crucial in order to secure more transparent relations and increased ownership of political and trade exchanges, and also to ensure the more efficient implementation of policies."

    Civil society must be at the centre of the EU-Latin America relations. Participation of civil society is crucial in order to have more transparent relations and an increased ownership of political and trade exchanges, and also to have a more efficient implementation of policies. This can be better achieved through the existence of consultative bodies, which is why the EESC has always worked on the creation and strengthening of Latin American consultative institutions.

    The purpose of today's meeting is two-fold. We thought it would be good if we, representatives from European organised civil society, would meet to exchange information about planned activities in Rio and to see how we could further foster our common values and positions throughout these diverse activities. The second reason for today's meeting turns out to be very timely. Originally we had invited Timo Makela, Director of DG Environment, to give us a de-briefing on ongoing Rio negotiations in New York.
