Študija, ki jo je naročil Evropski ekonomsko-socialni odbor, kaže, da čezmejne storitve ustvarjajo nova delovna mesta in gospodarsko rast. Čezmejne storitve so pozitivne za vse države EU in različna delovna mesta, tako delovno kot znanjsko intenzivna. Študija dokazuje, da izogibanje strogemu urejanju notranjega trga čezmejnih storitev ugodno vpliva na gospodarstvo EU. Enoodstotno zmanjšanje deleža čezmejnih storitev bi gospodarstvo EU stalo približno 8 milijard EUR.
Organised civil society tables proposals for regaining citizens' support for European integration and achieving sustainable economic growth and social progress in the EU
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is starting to take stock of progress made so far in implementing the European Pillar of Social Rights ("the Social Pillar"), a tool for social policy proclaimed by the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission at the Gothenburg Summit in November 2017.

The EESC draws mixed conclusions from the European Commission's growth survey
Statement of the President of the Employers' Group
On 20 February 2019 the EESC adopted an opinion calling for an EU framework directive on minimum income. The Employers' Group fully shares the view of the EESC that fighting against poverty is a necessity. However, for us the instrument proposed in the opinion is not the correct one. For this reason, the Group tabled a counter-opinion, presenting its views on measures needed to reduce poverty. The counter opinion was supported by almost 40% of the EESC Members.
An EESC hearing has revealed that almost a million EU citizens may be deprived of their right to vote in the upcoming European elections as a result of their disability, and many more may face obstacles when casting their ballots.
The new EESC European Semester Group reflects the growing importance of the European Semester and the lack of involvement and policy contributions on the part of social partners and civil society organisations in the process
Appropriate skills, social protection and diversity in the workplace will all be crucial for the future, as will social dialogue about the introduction of new technologies
