Call to EU Candidate Countries' Civil Society: Apply to join the EESC's work

The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is launching a call for expressions of interest, inviting representatives of employers' organisations, trade unions and civil society organisations from EU candidate countries[1] to participate in the EESC's pilot project and become "enlargement candidate members" (ECMs).

This initiative makes the EESC the first EU institution to offer the candidate countries a specific opportunity for involvement and participation.

The initiative is designed as a one-year pilot project for 2024 and will be evaluated in December 2024.
