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.
Ir-Russja
Il-Kumitat ta' Segwitu UE-Russja huwa l-korp intern tal-KESE li huwa responsabbli għar-relazzjonijiet mas-soċjetà ċivili Russa.
Sa mill-bidu tal-gwerra kontra l-Ukrajna mill-awtoritajiet tal-Federazzjoni Russa fl-24 ta' Frar 2022 'il hawn, is-soċjetà ċivili ħielsa fir-Russja ġiet imsikkta permezz ta' liġijiet speċjali u repressjoni dejjem akbar, u ħafna kritiċi kienu mġiegħla jeżiljaw ruħhom.
Fiċ-ċirkostanzi diffiċli attwali, il-KESE ddeċieda jżomm ħajja l-possibbiltà għal djalogu mas-sezzjoni tas-soċjetà ċivili Russa li hija kontra l-gwerra u li tinsab fit-territorju tal-UE.
Dan wassal għal skambji produttivi ta' informazzjoni u fehmiet dwar kif għandhom jissoktaw ir-relazzjonijiet bilaterali ladarba tintemm il-gwerra u jerġa' jkun hemm il-libertà u d-demokrazija fil-pajjiż.

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.
