EESO je v mnenju, sprejetem 23. februarja, komentiral sporočilo Evropske komisije o letnem pregledu trajnostne rasti za leto 2023 ter Komisijo pozval, naj vlaga v komuniciranje o izzivih, s katerimi se sooča EU, in o tem, kaj je treba storiti, da bi jih premagali.
Cilj letne strategije za trajnostno rast za leto 2023, v kateri so opisane prednostne naloge gospodarske politike in politike zaposlovanja za EU v prihodnjih 12 do 18 mesecih, je kratkoročno ublažiti negativne učinke energetskih šokov, spodbuditi trajnostno in vključujočo rast ter srednjeročno povečati gospodarsko in socialno odpornost EU.
EESO je v mnenju pozdravil prednostne naloge v zvezi s konkurenčno trajnostjo ter pozornost, namenjeno krepitvi socialnega dialoga v EU. Poleg tega je EESO poudaril pomen dobrega komuniciranja in Komisijo pozval, naj vlaga vanj. EESO je, da bi izboljšali delovanja enotnega trga, pozval k poštenim delovnim pogojem, učinkoviti konkurenci in večjemu upoštevanju pomislekov civilne družbe. Države članice je tudi spodbudil k realističnemu, zmernemu in uravnoteženemu pristopu k obravnavi inflacije.
Poročevalec EESO Gonçalo Lobo Xavier je dejal: „Odločno, zanesljivo in skupno govorjenje o naših izzivih in o tem, kako se je EU mobilizirala, da bi jih premagala, je bistvenega pomena za državljane in bo preprečilo nesporazume o evropskem projektu ter okrepilo idejo o Evropi za vse. (tk)
