Relațiile dintre UE și vecinii săi din sud constituie una dintre prioritățile noastre. Activitatea noastră acoperă o gamă largă de domenii, cum ar fi participarea societății civile la dialogul politic și civic, tranziția democratică, ocuparea forței de muncă în rândul tinerilor, dezvoltarea durabilă, mobilitatea și imigrația, comerțul, energia din surse regenerabile și dezvoltarea economică.

CESE desfășoară activități cu privire la aceste aspecte încă din 1995. Ca urmare a schimbărilor care au avut loc în regiune în 2010, ne-am adaptat obiectivele în consecință, pentru a urmări:

  • sprijinirea organizațiilor societății civile în țările care trec printr-un proces de tranziție. Acest sprijin vizează, în special, sindicatele și organizațiile patronale, precum și asociațiile de femei, de tineret și ale agricultorilor;
  • menținerea de relații bilaterale cu consiliile economice și sociale naționale din regiune și depunerea de eforturi în vederea creării de condiții pentru includerea societății civile în dialogul politic în țările partenere din sud;
  • elaborarea de avize și de rapoarte comune privind provocările politice esențiale cu care se confruntă regiunea;
  • desfășurarea de reuniuni periodice cu instituții europene și organizații internaționale, pentru a discuta politicile care afectează societatea civilă din regiune;
  • organizarea unei reuniuni anuale la nivel înalt pentru consiliile economice și sociale și pentru instituțiile similare, în cadrul căreia factorilor de decizie din guvernele naționale și din UE le vor fi prezentate recomandări esențiale în materie de politică cu privire la provocările principale cu care se confruntă regiunea.

The afternoon session will be dedicated to the idea of a new macro-regional strategy for the whole Mediterranean region encompassing the countries of the Southern Neighbourhood.

    This feasibility study to generate statistics on climate-induced migration and ways forward sought to gather and review existing data on climate-induced migration, focussing on five Member States (France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Spain) and one candidate country (Türkiye), to inform an effective EU response. There is no universally agreed definition of climate-induced migration. The majority of population movements as a result of rapid onset events takes place within a country as opposed to across borders.

    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.
