The Employers' Group of the European Economic and Social Committee

AFAEMME's President is member of the Employers' Group of the EESC.

If you don't really know what this Group is about, please read the attached presentation.

The EESC is a consultative body comprising 350 members from the 28 EU Member States, representing civil society organisations. Members are appointed for a renewable five-year term by the Council on a proposal by Member States, but they work independently for the EESC in the interest of all EU citizens. It has three main tasks, which are to: ensure that EU policies reflect the true economic, social and civic picture; build a more participatory EU, closer to its citizens; and promote EU values and civil society organisations globally.

The Employers' Group of the EESC (Group I) is chaired by President Jacek Krawczyk and composed by representatives of business associations working in industry, commerce, services and agriculture in the 28 Member States of the European Union.
 
It's mission is to promote European integration by supporting the development of our businesses, which play a key role in fostering the prosperity of our societies and in creating jobs, especially in an economically difficult climate.
