We are deeply saddened by the devastating earthquake in Venezuela. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected. The @EU_EESC stands in solidarity with the people of Venezuela, and with the civil society actors providing a lifeline on the ground.

Europe is strongest when civil society has a real seat at the table. Glad to chair today’s @EU_EESC Liaison Group meeting with Piotr Sadowski of @Volonteurope. Rich exchanges on EU candidate countries, the new EU Civil Society Platform and the incoming Irish EU Presidency.

As a farmer myself, a particular pleasure to welcome @IFAmedia Council to the @EU_EESC today, ahead of the Irish EU Presidency. A frank exchange on the issues that matter to farmers, including CAP, attracting young farmers and rural development.

Enlargement is not only a political or institutional process. It has a strong human dimension. Civil society fosters the engagement, dialogue and ownership that EU enlargement needs. That was my message at @ComeceEu's Commission on EU External Relations.

Civil dialogue is not a box to tick. It is a democratic necessity. At the Civil Dialogue Forum, I stressed that meaningful engagement must combine structured representation with real outreach on the ground. Europe needs permanent, trusted dialogue that shapes policy.

A stronger voice for civil society in the European Semester! @EU_EESC calls for a European Code of Consultations + mandatory assessments of stakeholder involvement to ensure reforms are shaped WITH citizens, workers and businesses. NOT just for them. 👉link.europa.eu/rNMvGf
