Nel quadro di un dibattito organizzato dal Comitato economico e sociale europeo (CESE) esperti e rappresentanti della società civile si sono riuniti per discutere i pro e i contro del pacchetto di proposte sull'azione per il clima, i trasporti e l'energia presentato di recente dalla Commissione europea.
As renewed calls to set out EU-wide common standards for NGOs and associations gain momentum, civil society organisations have high hopes of the new European statute for associations, which will give NGOs and associations recognition at EU level and allow them to operate across borders, a right they do not currently enjoy – unlike their for-profit counterparts

The new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change is a crucial step towards achieving climate neutrality and resilience by 2050.

La creazione di partenariati con i paesi di origine e di transito al fine di attirare i talenti è un elemento strategico cruciale per gestire la migrazione. L'Europa deve spostare l'asse su cui è imperniata la dimensione esterna della politica migratoria, facendo in modo che questa rientri in un'agenda geopolitica e geoeconomica di respiro più ampio, che trovi il posto che le compete tra le altre politiche. In caso contrario, il nuovo patto sulla migrazione e l'asilo sarà troppo debole per far fronte all'aumento dei flussi migratori.
The Commission's initiatives on a European child guarantee and an EU Strategy on the rights of the child call on European and national policy-makers to work toward the common good of all children growing up in the EU.
