The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is organising a public hearing on ‘The new multiannual financial framework (MFF) and cohesion policy: How to better use EU funds for persons with disabilities in the new financial framework’.
The aim of the event is to look into the changes for funds available for inclusions of persons with disabilities in the new MFF and cohesion policy.
Based also on presentations of good practices, participants will try to identify what worked and what did not in the past MFF and make recommendations for the future.
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is an EU advisory body comprising representatives of workers' and employers' organisations and other interest groups. It issues opinions on EU issues to the European Commission, the Council of the EU and the European Parliament, thus acting as a bridge between the EU's decision-making institutions and EU citizens.
What does the EESC do?
It gives the interest groups a formal say on EU legislative proposals. Its 3 key tasks are to:
-
-ensure that EU policy and law are geared to economic and social conditions, by seeking a consensus that serves the common good
