Rusland

Opfølgningsudvalget EU/Rusland er EØSU's interne organ med ansvar for forbindelserne med det russiske civilsamfund.

Siden myndighederne i Den Russiske Føderation indledte krigen mod Ukraine den 24. februar 2022, er det frie civilsamfund i Rusland blevet gjort tavst af særlove og stigende undertrykkelse, og mange kritikere af regimet er blevet tvunget i eksil.

Under de aktuelle vanskelige omstændigheder har EØSU besluttet at holde døren åben for dialog med den del af det russiske civilsamfund, der er imod krigen, og som befinder sig på EU's territorium.

Det har ført til udbytterige udvekslinger af information om og holdninger til, hvordan de bilaterale forbindelser bør fortsætte, når krigen er slut, og landet igen vender tilbage til frihed og demokrati.

    Europe needs to defeat poverty, children most at risk

    Reference number
    12/2016

    More than 122 million people in the EU are at risk of poverty or social exclusion[1]

    The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has adopted an opinion urging the EU Council to stick to its commitment to get at least 20 million people out of poverty by 2020. The EESC adopted its opinion on fighting poverty (Rapporteur: Seamus Boland, Co-Rapporteur: Marjolijn Bulk), requested by the Dutch Presidency of the Council, during its plenary session on 18 February 2016. To achieve the EU's target, Member States need to launch their own national strategies to fight poverty, social exclusion and discrimination, supported by a common European framework. These strategies should focus on adequate income support, inclusive labour markets, quality jobs, equal access to affordable high quality services for all, including migrants and people granted asylum.

    Honouring real anti-poverty champions, European Civil Society says time to make stand against poverty in the European Union

    Reference number
    71/2015

    More than 120 million people in the EU face the risk of poverty or social exclusion[1]

    Grassroots organisations working to alleviate poverty in Germany, Ireland, France, Poland and Finland show the way in providing direct assistance to those in need.  The European Economic and Social Committee has dedicated the 2015 European Civil Society Prize to organisations distinguishing themselves through their creativity and success in combatting poverty.

    Poverty and social exclusion includes many multi-faceted challenges such as housing, health, education, access to employment, indebtedness and addiction, to name but a few. Civil society organisations across the European Union are actively addressing these issues.  Activities often focus on local needs and – crucially – directly involve people experiencing poverty themselves in their implementation.
