Kumitat Ekonomiku u Socjali Ewropew
L-impenn tal-KESE b’rabta mal-organizzazzjonijiet tas-soċjetà ċivili fir-Russja huwa rregolat mill-ħames prinċipji gwida għar-relazzjonijiet bejn l-UE u r-Russja miftiehma mill-Ministri għall-Affarijiet Barranin tal-UE u r-Rappreżentant Għoli tal-UE għall-Affarijiet Barranin u l-Politika ta’ Sigurtà. Wieħed minn dawn il-prinċipji gwida huwa l-“appoġġ għall-kuntatti bejn in-nies”.
Id-djalogu u l-iskambju ta’ esperjenzi bejn ir-rappreżentanti tas-soċjetà ċivili mill-UE u r-Russja jikkontribwixxu b’mod sinifikanti għat-tkomplija tal-implimentazzjoni tas-Sħubija Strateġika bejn l-UE u r-Russja. Il-KESE adotta approċċ f’żewġ livelli għar-relazzjonijiet tiegħu mas-soċjetà ċivili Russa, bil-għan li jinvolvi ruħu mal-iżjed firxa wiesgħa possibbli ta’ rappreżentanti tas-soċjetà ċivili. Minn naħa, iżomm relazzjonijiet mal-Kamra Ċivika tal-Federazzjoni Russa, il-kontraparti uffiċjali tiegħu fir-Russja, u jorganizza, fost affarijiet oħrajn, seminars konġunti annwali dwar suġġetti ta’ interess għas-soċjetà ċivili fiż-żewġ naħat. L-imsieħeb l-ieħor tal-KESE huwa l-Forum tas-Soċjetà Ċivili UE-Russja, li jlaqqa’ flimkien sett differenti ta’ organizzazzjonijiet tas-soċjetà ċivili.
Il-Kumitat ta’ Segwitu UE-Russja huwa korp intern tal-KESE li jaġixxi bħala grupp ta’ tmexxija u huwa responsabbli għall-iżvilupp u ż-żamma ta’ relazzjonijiet u l-organizzazzjoni ta’ laqgħat u seminars konġunti mas-soċjetà ċivili fir-Russja.

The European Economic and Social Committee is very keen to engage with youth on sustainable development as we are preparing to give input and participate in the UN Conference on Sustainable Development that will take place in 20-22 June in Rio de Janeiro. This Conference is a crucial opportunity to send a clear message for a global change towards a green and sustainable economy and poverty eradication.
Youth unemployment rates are much higher than unemployment rates for all ages. More than 5 million young people in the EU are unemployed today. This means that one in five young people on the labour market cannot find a job.
As President of the European Economic and Social Committee, but also as citizen, I believe that we all must act for that our children can be better off than us. My generation did not get any problem to get a job. Our children meet problems now. It is a great concern for me as a person, as a father and as a grandfather, as well as President of the EESC. And Georgios Dassis, President of the Employees' Group in the EESC, shares this concern. This is the reason why we decided to gather here today. Georgios would agree with me that leaving the young people aside would mean compromising the future of the EU and of our children.
