Rusija
Spremljevalni odbor EU-Rusija je notranji organ EESO, pristojen za odnose z rusko civilno družbo.
Odkar so oblasti Ruske federacije 24. februarja 2022 začele vojno proti Ukrajini, so svobodno civilno družbo v Rusiji utišali posebni zakoni in vse večja represija, številni kritiki režima pa so bili prisiljeni oditi v izgnanstvo.
V sedanjih težkih razmerah se je EESO odločil, da bo pustil odprta vrata za dialog s protivojnim delom ruske civilne družbe, ki je prisoten na ozemlju EU.
Poteka plodna izmenjava informacij in stališč o tem, kako nadaljevati dvostranske odnose po koncu vojne in vrnitvi svobode in demokracije v to državo.

The five ideas are a distillation of the dreams and aspirations encountered across Europe. Concrete proposals on democracy, employment, rights, education, and the European public sphere.
The EESC believes that Northern Dimension cooperation should not only comprise actors from governmental and regional levels but it should also involve business organisations, trade unions and non-governmental organisations. Civil society is an important Northern Dimension actor: the role of civil society organisations in the implementation of the different projects is essential.

The EESC has called for a European stimulus package for the labour market policy, amounting to 2% of GDP. We recognise that the "Compact for Growth and Jobs" adopted at the European Council summit in June 2012 is a first important step in that direction. This must be further fleshed out to create the needed room for manoeuvre for sustainable growth and employment across the Europe.
