EESO je sprejel novo resolucijo o vključevanju organizirane civilne družbe v izvajanje in spremljanje nacionalnih načrtov za okrevanje in odpornost. Iz nedavnega posvetovanja je razvidno, da je organizirana civilna družba kljub predpisom premalo vključena v te načrte.
Odbor poziva k jasnim pravilom, s katerimi bi to učinkovito odpravili in ponovno oživili gospodarstvo. Predsednica EESO Christa Schweng je med razpravo pred sprejetjem resolucije poudarila, da je vključevanje organizirane civilne družbe v reforme, opredeljene v nacionalnih načrtih za okrevanje in odpornost, nujno za izboljšanje kakovosti, preglednosti in izvajanja novih politik. Gonçalo Lobo Xavier, podpredsednik skupine za evropski semester, je predstavil nekatere ključne ugotovitve posvetovanja.
„Organizirana civilna družba na splošno pozitivno oceni končno vsebino nacionalnih načrtov za okrevanje in odpornost. Vendar je socialna razsežnost pogosto slabo razvita,“ je poudaril. Predsednik skupine za evropski semester, Javier Doz Orrit, je predstavil glavna priporočila in pozval države članice, naj „nujno spoštujejo pravila iz uredbe o mehanizmu za okrevanje in odpornost“, ter Evropsko komisijo in Parlament, naj to izvršita. Podpredsednik skupine za evropski semester, Luca Jahier, je predstavil nekaj primerov dobre prakse in dejal, da „pomanjkanje učinkovite in kakovostne udeležbe organizirane civilne družbe pri gospodarskem upravljanju EU ne bo rešeno, dokler ne bo izvedena reforma evropskega semestra.“
V razpravi je sodeloval tudi izvršni podpredsednik Evropske komisije, Valdis Dombrovskis, ki je poudaril vpliv ruske invazije v Ukrajini na okrevanje gospodarstva EU in svetovnega gospodarstva ter kaj je potrebno za ublažitev tega vpliva in nadaljnje korake. (tk)
