Poljska je 1. januarja zamenjala Madžarsko na čelu EU in bo Svetu EU predsedovala prvih šest mesecev tega leta. Poljsko predsedovanje poteka v času preobrazbe za Evropo in sovpada z začetkom mandata nove Evropske komisije.
Ker ruska agresija na Ukrajino ne popušča, geopolitične napetosti pa v nedavni zgodovini Evrope še niso bile tako velike, Poljska svoje prednostne naloge usmerja v splošno temo varnosti, ki vključuje zunanjo, notranjo, gospodarsko, energetsko, prehransko in zdravstveno varnost ter zagotavljanje spoštovanja pravne države.
Te prednostne naloge so v skladu z zavezanostjo Evropskega ekonomsko-socialnega odbora k spodbujanju kohezije, varovanju demokratičnih vrednot in zagotavljanju stabilne blaginje. „V EESO smo ponosni na to, da smo zanesljiv in angažiran partner poljskega predsedstva, ter nameravamo imeti dejavno vlogo pri oblikovanju političnih prednostnih nalog, ki bodo zaznamovale ta novi evropski cikel,“ je dejal predsednik EESO Oliver Röpke.
EESO bo na zaprosilo poljskega predsedstva pripravil 14 raziskovalnih mnenj. Oglejte si našo novo brošuro, v kateri je več informacij o teh mnenjih in drugem delu EESO v prvi polovici leta 2025. V njej se predstavljajo tudi poljski člani EESO in organizacije, ki jih zastopajo. Brošura je na voljo samo na spletu, in sicer v angleščini, poljščini, francoščini in nemščini. (ll)
