Europeiska ekonomiska och sociala kommittén
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.
The 2014 edition of the Your Europe, Your Say event by the European Economic and Social Committee brought groups of 16 and 17 year-olds from all 28 Member States to Brussels.
Their main objective was to set five priorities for what Europe should do to become a better place and be more relevant to its citizens.
Not surprisingly, their ‘action plan’ focused on education, languages, jobs and the environment.
