Establishing a new Partnership Framework with third countries under the European Agenda on Migration

Goedgekeurd on 22/02/2017

Cristian PÎRVULESCU (Diversity Europe - GR III / Romania)

The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) believes that the European Agenda on Migration should be designed so as to take into full consideration the humanitarian dimension of its scope, and the EU should not forget its fundamental commitments and legally binding rules to protect lives and human rights, especially of people in danger. The EESC supports the vision to provide a long-term response to migration, addressing the root causes of migration and creating a dialogue with third countries based on cooperation and shared responsibility. Tailored and specific agreements with each country, with full respect of human rights are also supporter. Flexibility provides the right perspective and combination of actions and incentives.

European Pillar of Social Rights (SOC/542)

Goedgekeurd on 25/01/2017
Referentie: 
SOC/542-EESC-2016-01902-00-04-ac
Referral: 
COM(2016) 127 final COM(2016) 127 final
Rapporteur: 
Gabriele BISCHOFF (/Germany), Luca JAHIER (Diversity Europe - GR III/Italy), Jacek KRAWCZYK (Employers - GR I/Poland) (Germany)

The EESC adopted this opinion after in-depth work carried out during the four meetings of the study group. The opinion also reflects the national debates with civil society organisations carried out in all Member States between 2 September and 2 November 2016. These discussions were coordinated by three members of the EESC ('trios') from the country concerned, often in cooperation with the European Commission (15 debates) or the national economic and social council (7 debates). Participants came from a wide range of employers' and trade union organisations and other civil society organisations, as well as, to a lesser extent, from the academic world. A total of 116 EESC members and nearly 1,800 representatives of civil society organisations participated in the 28 debates. The conclusions/recommendations of the national debates have been grouped in the opinion, while the reports on the national debates will be published separately.
