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.

Komitet Monitorujący UE–Rosja to wewnętrzny organ EKES-u odpowiedzialny za stosunki z rosyjskim społeczeństwem obywatelskim.
Odkąd władze Federacji Rosyjskiej wszczęły 24 lutego 2022 r. wojnę przeciwko Ukrainie, wolne społeczeństwo obywatelskie w Rosji jest uciszane za pomocą specjalnych ustaw i nasilających się represji, a wielu krytyków reżimu zostało zmuszonych do emigracji.
W obecnych trudnych okolicznościach EKES postanowił zostawić otwartą furtkę do dialogu z przeciwną wojnie częścią rosyjskiego społeczeństwa obywatelskiego, która znajduje się na terytorium UE.
Doprowadziło to do owocnej wymiany informacji i poglądów na temat tego, jak powinny wyglądać stosunki dwustronne po zakończeniu wojny oraz po przywróceniu wolności i demokracji w Rosji.

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.
