Putting Europe's citizens in the driving seat – Presidency of the EESC 2013 – 2015

While the European Union is seeking a new breath without actually achieving to reach it, Europe continues to move forward. The organised Civil Society, rooted in ground realities, builds it day by day, relying on the creativity and the common sense of convinced women and men. In the recent years, the European Economic and Social Committee has carried out numerous actions to improve the lives of Europeans and brought to the highest authorities concrete tracks of advancement, without hesitating to conduct internal reforms in order to achieve. It is all these successes - which were made possible only because they have been conducted by involved actors, mainly the EESC members - that President Malosse, in this time of stock of office, wanted to highlight through this short work. These success stories reflect a greater will of involvement from citizens, an awareness that change is at hand. This work is also a call for the European civil society to find at last its role within the Brussels chessboard - that of the new European engine.
