Zjednoczone Królestwo

Po długich i złożonych negocjacjach UE i Zjednoczone Królestwo zawarły 24 grudnia 2020 r. umowę o handlu i współpracy. Od 1 stycznia 2021 r. obowiązywała ona tymczasowo, do zakończenia procesu ratyfikacji przez Radę i Parlament Europejski. Umowa ta, podobnie jak inne niedawne umowy o wolnym handlu, zawiera szczegółowe postanowienia dotyczące dialogu ze społeczeństwem obywatelskim. EKES, który jest kluczowym podmiotem tego dialogu, podjął zatem decyzję w sprawie struktury instytucjonalnej mającej wspierać kontakty ze Zjednoczonym Królestwem i jego społeczeństwem obywatelskim (przedsiębiorstwami, związkami zawodowymi i innymi organizacjami), a także w sprawie organu monitorującego umowę o handlu i współpracy.

Nowa struktura, dostosowana w świetle nie tylko zawartej umowy i nowych stosunków między UE a Zjednoczonym Królestwem, ale również ostatnich zmian instytucjonalnych w KE, obejmuje:

  • Komitet Monitorujący UE–Zjednoczone Królestwo jako politycznego następcę grupy monitorującej ds. brexitu – organ EKES-u, w którym możemy określać nasz własny program i nasze priorytety, aby sprostać potrzebom nowej rzeczywistości,
  • wewnętrzną grupę doradczą UE w ramach umowy o handlu i współpracy między UE a Zjednoczonym Królestwem, będącą instytucjonalnym filarem stosunków handlowych między UE a Zjednoczonym Królestwem.

Teraz gdy przyszłe stosunki zostały uregulowane w tak ważnej i kompleksowej umowie o partnerstwie, EKES zobowiązuje się do odgrywania swojej roli w optymalizacji potencjału tej umowy, zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do społeczeństwa obywatelskiego Zjednoczonego Królestwa. Jest zdecydowany utrzymywać bliskie kontakty ze społeczeństwem obywatelskim Zjednoczonego Królestwa po brexicie, zachęcać do dialogu i wymiany oraz włączać organizacje społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w społeczny proces podejmowania decyzji, aby zapewnić ochronę silnych więzi gospodarczych, społecznych i politycznych, które powstały przez ponad pół wieku członkostwa Zjednoczonego Królestwa w UE.

At its January plenary session, the EESC adopted an information report on the Implementation of the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement, including the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland. The report shows that UK organised civil society is strongly in favour of a deeper and more constructive relationship with their EU counterparts and the EU as a whole. This could contribute to the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement and help maximise the potential of the EU-UK Trade Cooperation Agreement.
