Today, I signed a cooperation agreement w/ Roberta Metsola, strengthening our relations & the role of EESC as policy advisor.

The EESC and EP share the same objective of a more democratic & participatory Europe, where civil society has a greater involvement in 🇪🇺decision-making.

We are now welcoming Séamus Boland to our group meeting to discuss the priorities of Civil Society Organisations' Group of the EESC ahead of the EU elections!

Thanks for being a part of this discussion!
