The core role of trade and investment in meeting and implementing the sustainable development goals (own-initiative opinion)

Przyjęte on 07/12/2017
Sygnatura: 
REX/486-EESC-2017
Rapporteur: 
Jonathan PEEL (United Kingdom)

Christophe QUAREZ (Workers - GR II/France)

The 2030 UN Agenda, or the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, will be one of the top global priorities over the next 15 years, yet it received very little mention in the Commission Communication "Trade for all". Trade is specifically mentioned with regard to nine SDGs (but only once in the MDGs). UNCTAD estimate that, to meet the 17 goals and the 169 targets, at least an extra US$2.5 trillion a year will need to be found - effectively from the private sector. This opinion would seek to look into this further and aim to evaluate how much of that will need to come through trade and investment.

This Committee opinion, prepared in response to the commission's request, has taken stock of the views of European stakeholders on how EU policies and regulatory action can use sustainable economic models to transition successfully towards economic modernisation by reconciling economic prosperity and efficiency, social inclusion and environmental responsibility.

EU development partnerships and the challenge posed by international tax agreements (own-initiative opinion)

Przyjęte on 18/10/2017
Sygnatura: 
REX/487-EESC-2017
Rapporteur: 
Alfred GAJDOSIK (Diversity Europe - GR III / Austria)
Co-rapporteur: 
Thomas WAGNSONNER (Workers - GR II/Austria)

The EESC is a strong advocate of a fair, well-administered and sustainable development policy at EU level. It is also very committed to the cause of greater tax justice. In recent years, questions have been raised as to whether the international tax policies of the Member States, in particular the concluding of certain types of double taxation agreements, are consistent with EU development policy objectives.

Proposal for a new European Consensus on Development: "Our World, our Dignity, our Future” (Communication)

Przyjęte on 26/04/2017
Sygnatura: 
REX/484-EESC-2017
Referral: 
COM(2016) 740 final
Rapporteur: 
Ionuţ SIBIAN (Diversity Europe - GR III / Romania)
Co-rapporteur: 
Mihai MANOLIU (Employers - GR I/Romania)

The 2030 Agenda, the new global framework for sustainable development agreed by the UN in 2015, needs to be reflected in EU's development policy, the major orientations of which are set out in the 2005 European Consensus on Development ("the Consensus").

To this end, the Commission issued Communication COM(2016) 740, "Proposal for a New European Consensus on Development: Our World, Our Dignity, Our Future" in November 2016.  Interinstitutional negotiations are expected to result in its endorsement in the form of a Joint Statement by the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission, in May 2017.

International ocean governance: an agenda for the future of our oceans (Communication)

Przyjęte on 29/03/2017
Sygnatura: 
REX/482-EESC-2017
Referral: 
JOIN(2016) 49 final
Rapporteur: 
Jan SIMONS (Netherlands)

The EESC believes that the current framework for international ocean governance is unable to ensure the sustainable management of oceans and their resources, and urgent action is imperative. However, the Commission and the High Representative still need to prioritise the threats currently faced by our oceans in order to adequately reflect the urgent need for action. One of the causes of ineffective international ocean governance is the existence of gaps in the current international ocean governance framework. The EESC recommends that the Commission and High Representative address these gaps and inconsistencies, but also that they increase compliance with existing rules, for example by improving the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. The EU should refrain from proposing any new legislation when better or more coordinated implementation of existing rules and regulations would be more efficient.

Decarbonisation of transport

Przyjęte on 23/02/2017
Sygnatura: 
TEN/609-EESC-2016

Rapporteur: 
Stefan BACK (Employers - GR I / Sweden)

The EESC endorses the European Strategy for Low-Emission Mobility (the strategy), including its aims and methods, and its holistic approach, which provides coherence between transport and other policy areas. It would have liked this approach to be further developed in terms of the links between the strategy and the communication on the upgrading of the internal market. This also applies with regard to the prospects of the digital economy and the development of a sharing economy and a circular economy. It underscores the potential effects of these developments on transport patterns, and draws attention to their social implications.
