Ryssland

Uppföljningskommittén EU–Ryssland är EESK:s interna organ med ansvar för förbindelserna med det ryska civila samhället.

Sedan de ryska myndigheterna inledde kriget mot Ukraina den 24 februari 2022 har det fria civila samhället i Ryssland tystats genom särskilda lagar och ökande förtryck, samtidigt som många regimkritiker har tvingats till exil.

Under de rådande svåra omständigheterna har EESK beslutat att hålla dörren öppen för dialog med de delar av det ryska civila samhället som motsätter sig kriget och som är närvarande på EU:s territorium.

Detta har lett till givande utbyten av information och åsikter om hur de bilaterala förbindelserna bör fortskrida efter krigets slut och en återgång till frihet och demokrati i landet.

  • Strengthening European Growth and Competitiveness: Proactive Trade Agenda – NOW!

    Helsinki
    Finland

    The EESC Employers' Group is organising a seminar on "Strengthening European Growth and Competitiveness: Proactive Trade Agenda – NOW!" taking place on 26 October in Helsinki and jointly organized with the Confederation of Finnish Industries and the International Chamber of Commerce, ICC Finland.

    Trade and Investment are hugely important for the EU: 1 in 7 EU jobs depend on exports. The EU cannot risk falling behind in the global race to build a wide and ambitious network of free trade agreements. The signing of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement (involving 12 countries and 40% of world GDP) is a timely reminder of this. This seminar, which will be attended by many of our Members together with Finnish employers and entrepreneurs, politicians and academics aims to examine how to best contribute positively to the debate as trade agreements (TTIP - TISA - CETA - EU-JAPAN) increasingly become a top political issue.
