Europos ekonomikos ir socialinių reikalų komitetas
EESRK bendradarbiavimas su pilietinės visuomenės organizacijomis Rusijoje grindžiamas penkiais pagrindiniais principais, taikomais ES ir Rusijos santykiams, dėl kurių susitarė ES užsienio reikalų ministrai ir Vyriausioji įgaliotinė užsienio reikalams ir saugumo politikai. Vienas iš šių principų yra „parama žmonių tarpusavio ryšiams“.
ES ir Rusijos pilietinės visuomenės atstovų dialogas ir keitimasis patirtimi reikšmingai prisideda prie nuolatinio ES ir Rusijos strateginės partnerystės įgyvendinimo. Santykiuose su Rusijos pilietine visuomene EESRK dirba dviem kryptimis, norėdamas užmegzti ryšius su kuo daugiau pilietinės visuomenės atstovų. Viena vertus, jis palaiko santykius su Rusijos Federacijos piliečių rūmais, savo oficialiu Rusijos partneriu, ir organizuoja, be kita ko, metinius bendrus seminarus abiejų šalių pilietinei visuomenei aktualiomis temomis. Kitas EESRK partneris yra Rusijos pilietinės visuomenės forumas, kuris vienija kitokias pilietinės visuomenės organizacijas.
ES ir Rusijos tęstinio darbo komitetas yra EESRK vidaus struktūra, kuri veikia kaip valdymo grupė ir yra atsakinga už santykių plėtojimą ir palaikymą ir bendrų seminarų su Rusijos pilietine visuomene rengimą.
The EESC organised debates with organised civil society in all Member States between 2 September and 2 November 2016. The debates were coordinated by three EESC members ('trios') from the country concerned, often in co-operation with the European Commission (15 debates) or the national Economic and Social Council (7 debates).
On 17-18 March 2016, students from schools in all 28 EU Member States and, for the first time, from the 5 EU candidate countries (Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Turkey) met at the EESC in Brussels for Your Europe, Your Say!. They came to debate an issue that has been one of the most important topics on the European political agenda for some time: migration and integration. The key question for this year’s event was “How can we better integrate migrants and refugees in our societies?”.
The European Union: how does it work? Can you influence decisions? Do you know how the policies that affect your life are made?
What if some of the EU’s complicated procedures were turned into a game – fun to play but challenging as well – that you could download onto your smartphone, tablet or laptop?
The study was conducted with the aim of analysing feasibility of a supply chain, to capitalise on unsold seafood products for distribution to deprived people
The European Economic and Social Committee has been an ardent supporter of the Eastern Partnership from the very outset and the EESC's Employers' Group has continually emphasised the need to strengthen the partnership's economic dimension. An appropriate tool was needed to enable the representatives of employers, entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises from the EU and its partner countries to meet and openly assess the process of convergence with the European acquis and its impact on the economic situation.
