America Latină și zona Caraibilor

This page is also available in

Încă din anii 1990, CESE colaborează cu organizații omoloage din America Latină și zona Caraibilor. Mai multe avize ale CESE s-au axat pe relațiile cu această regiune, la nivel regional, subregional și național. Printre prioritățile CESE se numără dezvoltarea organizațiilor societății civile, dezvoltarea economică și socială, integrarea regională și cooperarea în sfera multilaterală.

La nivel regional, CESE organizează reuniuni bienale între reprezentanții organizațiilor societății civile din Europa, America Latină și zona Caraibilor, care fac parte dintre evenimentele pregătitoare ce precedă Summitul UE-CELAC. 

La nivel subregional și național, au fost înființate mai multe structuri permanente. În 2009, CESE a instituit o masă rotundă a societății civile cu Consiliul economic și social din Brazilia, punând astfel la dispoziție un forum pentru dialog și cooperare continuă între reprezentanții societății civile braziliene și ai celei europene. Acordul de asociere UE-Chile a acordat Comitetului mandatul de a înființa un comitet consultativ mixt cu omologul său chilian de la nivelul societății civile, în vederea monitorizării acordului, comitet care a fost înființat, în cele din urmă, în 2016. În ceea ce privește țările din Comunitatea Andină, CESE participă la grupul consultativ intern care monitorizează acordul de liber schimb UE-Columbia/Peru/Ecuador. De asemenea, el participă la Comitetul consultativ CARIFORUM UE, care monitorizează Acordul de parteneriat economic CARIFORUM-UE. S-au stabilit relații permanente cu instituțiile omoloage ale CESE din cadrul Mercosur (Forumul consultativ economic și social) și din America Centrală (Comitetul Consultativ al Sistemului de Integrare Central-Americană).
