AKT a Afrika

This page is also available in

Od prvého dohovoru z Lomé (1975) po dohodu z Cotonou (2000 – 2021) vzťahy medzi EÚ a skupinou 79 afrických, karibských a tichomorských štátov (krajiny AKT), ktoré sa nedávno stali Organizáciou afrických, karibských a tichomorských štátov (OAKTŠ), upravovalo partnerstvo EÚ – AKT. 

Počas tohto obdobia sa EHSV spolu s občianskou spoločnosťou krajín AKT zasadzoval za uznanie kľúčovej úlohy, ktorú v rozvoji zohrávajú neštátne subjekty, až kým sa to nedosiahlo v dohode z Cotonou, ktorou bol EHSV poverený organizovaním rôznych aktivít a konzultácií s „hospodárskymi a sociálnymi záujmovými skupinami krajín AKT a EÚ“ s cieľom zhromažďovať názory organizovanej občianskej spoločnosti a umožniť jej vyjadriť sa. Cieľom bolo podporovať výmeny a poskytovať odporúčania k otázkam a politikám týkajúcim sa vzťahov krajín AKT a EÚ, ktoré boli neskôr oficiálne adresované vedúcim predstaviteľom EÚ a krajín AKT.

Z praktického hľadiska činnosti EHSV týkajúce sa vzťahov medzi EÚ a OAKTŠ prebiehajú najmä pod vedením inkluzívneho monitorovacieho výboru AKT – EÚ zloženého z členov EHSV a delegátov zastupujúcich hospodárske a sociálne záujmové skupiny z krajín AKT. 

Monitorovací výbor AKT – EÚ udržiava pravidelné kontakty so zástupcami občianskej spoločnosti v krajinách AKT na rôznych úrovniach prostredníctvom:

  • pravidelných zasadnutí monitorovacieho výboru EÚ – AKT,
  • regionálnych seminárov v krajinách AKT, čím poskytuje fórum na diskusiu o témach spoločného záujmu so zástupcami občianskej spoločnosti vždy v inom regióne,
  • trojročných valných zasadnutí hospodárskych a sociálnych záujmových skupín krajín AKT a EÚ v Bruseli.

EHSV udržiava aj pravidelné kontakty so zástupcami hospodárskych a sociálnych záujmových skupín Africkej únie v rámci spoločnej stratégie EÚ a Afriky. EHSV organizuje najmä výročné stretnutia so sieťou hospodárskych a sociálnych zainteresovaných strán Afriky a EÚ. 

EHSV už mnoho rokov udržiava pravidelné kontakty so Spoločným parlamentným zhromaždením AKT – EÚ tým, že predkladá správu o svojej činnosti na zasadnutiach plenárneho zhromaždenia.

EHSV je taktiež v úzkom kontakte s medzinárodnými organizáciami zamestnávateľov, zamestnancov, poľnohospodárov, družstiev a spotrebiteľov. Tieto organizácie vymenúvajú zástupcov AKT pozývaných na schôdze, ktoré usporadúva EHSV vrátane monitorovacieho výboru AKT – EÚ.

5th Meeting EU-Africa Economic and Social stakeholders' network

Event
JDE 70
Brussels
Belgium

The EU-Africa economic and social stakeholders' network will first deal with the up-coming EU-Africa Action Plan for the period 2018-2020. The annual meeting will specifically address migration and economic issues, focusing on the implications for young people. The youth focus is essential as young people clearly represent an increasingly important proportion of African populations. Moreover, youth unemployment in both Africa and Europe is a shared concern of economic and social actors. It is helping to feed migration flows, especially for young Africans who are facing a lack of prospects.

Public hearing on the opinion on "The external dimension of Social Economy"

Event
Public Hearing
Brussels
Belgium

The social economy is prominent in everyday life and in the productive activity of large regions of the world and makes a decisive contribution to improving the living and working conditions of millions of people. However, the social economy is not specifically recognised as a sector in the EU development cooperation programmes.One of the principal aims of the opinion is that the external dimension of the EU’s programmes and initiatives should establish support measures specifically targeted at boosting businesses and organisations in the social economy.
