Europos ekonomikos ir socialinių reikalų komitetas
ES santykiai su pietų kaimynais yra vienas iš mūsų prioritetų. Mūsų darbas apima įvairias sritis, tokias kaip pilietinės visuomenės dalyvavimas politiniame ir pilietiniame dialoge, perėjimas prie demokratijos, jaunimo užimtumas, darnus vystymasis, judumas ir imigracija, prekyba, atsinaujinančiųjų išteklių energija ir verslo plėtra.
EESRK dirba šiais klausimais nuo 1995 m. Atsižvelgdami į pokyčius regione 2010 m., atitinkamai pakoregavome savo tikslus siekdami:
The central message of this exploratory opinion is the need for a coordinated approach on renewable energies in the region, one that is based on co-development.
The opinion examines what has become a key sector in the Euromed region. The uprisings in the Euromed region, besides putting the spotlight on the abuses of autocratic dictators, have also drawn attention to the urgent need for economic and social development, especially in rural areas. Food insecurity and high food prices are set to remain a problem in the region.
"The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) expresses its solidarity with the people of the southern Mediterranean countries who are peacefully struggling for their fundamental rights and freedoms, and supports their legitimate aim of establishing stable democracies in their countries. ..."
