EUROMED

Förbindelserna mellan EU och dess södra grannländer är en av våra prioriteringar. Vårt arbete omfattar ett stort antal olika områden, t.ex. det civila samhällets deltagande i den politiska och civila dialogen, övergång till demokrati, ungdomssysselsättning, hållbar utveckling, rörlighet och migration, handel, förnybar energi och affärsutveckling.

EESK har arbetat med dessa frågor sedan 1995. Efter förändringarna i regionen under 2010 har vi justerat våra mål och strävar nu efter följande:

  • Att stödja civilsamhällesorganisationer i länder som befinner sig i en övergångsprocess. Detta stöd riktas framför allt in på fackföreningar och arbetsgivarorganisationer samt på kvinno-, ungdoms- och jordbrukarorganisationer.
  • Att upprätthålla bilaterala förbindelser med de nationella ekonomiska och sociala råden i regionen och verka för att skapa förutsättningar för att det civila samhället ska involveras i den politiska dialogen i de sydliga partnerländerna.
  • Att utarbeta yttranden och gemensamma rapporter om de främsta politiska utmaningarna som regionen står inför.
  • Att anordna regelbundna möten med EU-institutioner och internationella organisationer för att diskutera den politik som rör det civila samhället i hela regionen.
  • Att anordna ett årligt toppmöte för ekonomiska och sociala råd och liknande institutioner där centrala politiska rekommendationer om regionens främsta utmaningar läggs fram för politiska beslutsfattare från de nationella regeringarna och EU.

    The aim of the opinion is to call on the representatives of the European Community institutions and national government to take account of the key role of the social partners and organised civil society in providing European immigration policies with a social dimension and added value.

    The exploratory opinion is being drawn up at the request of the Greek Presidency of the European Union. Immigration-related issues remain a key challenge for the European Union and its Member States with a comprehensive and common strategy at EU level remaining elusive, in spite of the continued pressures that are being felt on the EU's borders.

    The opinion will set out civil society's perspective on the dual challenge which EU Member States face in dealing with recent waves of immigrants and at the same time fulfilling - or in some cases failing to fulfil - their duty in guaranteeing immigrants' human rights, be it in detention or whilst on high seas. This issue is particularly topical since the European Commission and European Court of Justice are coming increasingly under pressure to act against Member States that fail to meet EU rules.

    This opinion is the EESC's key response to the events in the Euromed region. It provides a thorough analysis of the EU's past failings and the lessons which need to be drawn from them, the most urgent needs facing civil society in the current transition phase, and the longer term perspectives for civil society in the region. The opinion also responds to the two joint communications issued by the European Commission and EEAS on the EU's new Euromed policy, calling for close cooperation between the EU institutions in the region

    The central message of this exploratory opinion is the need for a coordinated approach on renewable energies in the region, one that is based on co-development.
