European Investment Stabilisation Function

The EESC considers the proposed European Investment Stabilisation Function (EISF) as a step towards closer euro area integration, and possibly an attempt to encourage non-euro Member States to join the single currency. However, the EESC is of the view that a well-crafted union-wide insurance scheme that acts as an automatic stabiliser amidst macroeconomic shocks would be more effective than the proposed EISF.

The majority of road accidents are down to human error alone, so a comprehensive approach to road safety is needed. It should cover driver behaviour, the working conditions and skills of professional drivers, and infrastructure.

SOC/580-EESC-2018-01490-00-01-AC-TRA
Referral:

Rapporteur: 
Carlos Manuel Trindade (Workers - GR II / Portugal)

The Committee considers that the Commission's proposal for setting up a European Labour Authority (ELA) is, if adequately implemented, an important step in the right direction towards improving cross-border mobility, enforcing European and national legislation, fostering cooperation between national labour market authorities and improving access to adequate and up-to-date information, tackling illegal activities and strengthening the internal market, provided that the ELA respects national and European competences and the Member States demonstrate their support and cooperation.

COM(2018) 173 final 2018/0082 COD
Rapporteur: 
Peter Schmidt (Workers - GR II / Germany)

The Commission's initiative follows one of the recommendations of the Agricultural Markets Task Force that the EU should legislate in the areas of UTPs for agricultural products, and responds to some of the conclusions of the 2016 EESC opinion on "A fairer food supply chain".

Initiative addressing online platform challenges as regards the spreading of disinformation (Communication)

Adottati on 19/09/2018
Riferimento: 
TEN/664-EESC-2018
Referral: 
COM(2018) 236 final
Rapporteur: 
Martin Siecker (Workers - GR II / Netherlands)

A variety of tools and methods are currently used to undermine European values and external actions of the EU, as well as to develop and provoke separatist and nationalistic attitudes, manipulate the public and conduct direct interference in the domestic policy of sovereign countries and the EU as a whole. Moreover, the growing influence of cyber offensive capabilities and increased weaponization of technologies to achieve political goals is observed. The impact of such actions is often underestimated.

The EESC agrees with the Commission's call for more responsibility on the part of social media platforms. However, despite the existence of several studies and policy papers produced by European specialists in the last few years, the Commission's communication lacks any practical mandatory steps to ensure this.

Riferimento: 
INT/852-EESC-2018
Referral: 
COM(2018) 233 final
Rapporteur: 
Diego Dutto (Diversity Europe - GR III / Italy)
Co-rapporteur: 
Thomas Kattnig (Workers - GR II/Austria)

The EESC agrees with the vision outlined in the communication. It believes that in the course of the changes generated by digital transformation, people must be at the center of care.  The digitalisation processes must help healthcare professionals to spend more time with patients. It must be ensured that healthcare professions are appropriately staffed with qualified personnel and equipped with appropriate digital skills. Digital tools must be a lever to develop new forms of organisation in health and care systems.

EESC opinion: Digital transformation / health and care (communication)
