ABOUT
Get to know the European Economic and Social Committee
The EESC is not like other EU bodies. It is a unique forum for consultation, dialogue and consensus between representatives from all the di erent sectors of "organised civil soci- ety", including employers, trade unions and groups such as professional and community associations, youth organisations, women's groups, consumers, environmental cam- paigners and many more.
The EESC has always been an integral part of the EU: it was set up in 1957 by the Treaty of Rome, to advise EU decision-makers and ensure that ordinary people across the conti- nent have a say in Europe’s development. The European Parliament, Council and Com- mission are legally obliged to consult the EESC when passing new laws on a wide range of topics. The EESC examines the proposals and draws up opinions based on agreement reached between its members.
In addition, the EESC adopts own-initiativeopinions on topics members believe to be im- portant in the interests of EU citizens. It also produces exploratory opinions, requested by EU law-makers when they want an over- view of civil society’s views, and publishes in- formation reports on topical issues. The EESC also develops ideas re ecting the demands of civil society on a project basis and carries out impact assessments to monitor the e ect of EU legislation. The EESC is made up of three groups: Em- ployers – Group I, Workers – Group II and Various Interests – Group III. The aim is to build consensus between these groups so that EESC opinions truly re ect the economic and social interests of EU citizens.
