European Economic and Social Committee

The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is an advisory body of the European Union that represents various interest groups, including businesses, workers, and civil society organizations. Its role is to provide opinions and recommendations on EU policy and legislation, ensuring that the views of these groups are considered in decision-making. The EESC promotes social and economic cohesion across member states, helping to address issues like employment, the environment, and consumer rights. By facilitating dialogue between the EU institutions and citizens, the EESC aims to enhance democratic participation and ensure diverse perspectives are heard in the EU's processes.
