Rusland

Het follow-upcomité EU-Rusland is het interne orgaan van het EESC dat verantwoordelijk is voor de betrekkingen met het Russische maatschappelijk middenveld.

Sinds de autoriteiten van de Russische Federatie op 24 februari 2022 de oorlog tegen Oekraïne begonnen, is het vrije maatschappelijk middenveld in Rusland het zwijgen opgelegd door middel van speciale wetten en toenemende repressie, terwijl veel critici van het regime noodgedwongen voor ballingschap hebben moeten kiezen.

In deze moeilijke omstandigheden heeft het EESC besloten de deur open te houden voor een dialoog met het tegen de oorlog gekante segment van het Russische maatschappelijk middenveld dat zich in de EU bevindt.

Hierdoor is een vruchtbare uitwisseling van informatie en standpunten ontstaan over de vraag hoe de bilaterale betrekkingen na de oorlog zouden moeten verlopen en hoe het land weer de weg naar vrijheid en democratie kan inslaan.

    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.
