O Comité de Acompanhamento UE-Rússia é o órgão interno do CESE responsável pelas relações com a sociedade civil russa.

Desde o início da guerra encetada contra a Ucrânia pelas autoridades da Federação da Rússia, em 24 de fevereiro de 2022, a sociedade civil livre na Rússia foi silenciada por legislação especial e pela crescente repressão, tendo muitos críticos do regime sido forçados ao exílio.

Nas atuais circunstâncias difíceis, o CESE decidiu manter a porta aberta ao diálogo com a secção antiguerra da sociedade civil russa presente no território da UE.

Tal conduziu a intercâmbios frutuosos de informações e pontos de vista sobre a forma como as relações bilaterais devem prosseguir após o fim da guerra e o regresso à liberdade e à democracia no país.

    On 12 June, the EESC launched its first event on fighting disinformation, kick-starting an awareness-raising campaign ahead of the European Parliament elections in 2024. The event, which gathered prominent figures from the civil society, media and youth organisations, highlighted the need for a more bottom-up approach with a strong civil society network countering disinformation on the ground. However, political awareness and solid legislative framework together with independent media are also crucial in the fight against fake news penetration.

    The External Relations Section (REX) of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is responsible for dialogue between European civil society organisations and their homologues from the countries with which the European Union has formal relations (e.g. under the form of a Free Trade Agreement). Through this dialogue, made possible by a series of bilateral bodies, and through specialized opinions and information reports, the Committee is able to concretely contribute to EU foreign policy.

    Conference

    The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is working on a project on disinformation to be implemented with the help of civil society. Disinformation typically spreads among the population, often horizontally, so that the best way to tackle the problem is not in a top-down approach, but in citizens’ reflection and direct engagement. This is where organized civil society can play a crucial role.

  • Cohesion policy is key to overcoming the COVID-19 crisis, to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and to reducing disparities in Europe. Its most serious challenge for the foreseeable future, however, is the war in Ukraine, the EESC cautions in a recent opinion. Rapid action is needed to help refugees and ensure the country's European integration.
