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.

Comitetul de monitorizare UE-Rusia este organul intern al CESE responsabil de relațiile cu societatea civilă rusă.
De la începerea războiului împotriva Ucrainei de către autoritățile Federației Ruse, la 24 februarie 2022, societatea civilă liberă din Rusia a fost redusă la tăcere prin legi speciale și prin intensificarea represiunii, în timp ce mulți critici ai regimului au fost forțați să intre în exil.
În circumstanțele dificile actuale, CESE a decis să mențină ușa deschisă dialogului cu partea societății civile ruse care se declară împotriva războiului și se află pe teritoriul UE.
Acest lucru a condus la schimburi fructuoase de informații și opinii cu privire la modul în care ar trebui să se desfășoare relațiile bilaterale după încheierea războiului și revenirea la libertate și democrație în țară.

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.
