Book excerpt: "The European Economic and Social Committee does not pass laws. It strives to bring real-life expertise to EU policy-making by providing good, sound advice to the legislators. The EESC was set up over 50 years ago to speak directly on behalf of European citizens. Its advice takes the shape of expert opinions, which synthesise the experience and viewpoints of a wide spectrum of society including employers, workers, professions, groups and associations with a huge range of interests. But the Committee is much more than a cog in the wheel of legislative procedures. It is a unique channel for the active involvement of civil society in the evolution of Europe, up to the highest level. It gives practical expression to the principle of participatory democracy in the EU, and fosters 'active citizenship' and social solidarity. In this booklet we briefly showcase how EESC members' expertise makes a difference in each of the main policy EU areas it covers: economic, social, environmental and international."--Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2007-03-16 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 2,0, University of Twente (Bedrijf Bestuur en Technologie), course: European Institutions, language: English, abstract: Although the European Economic and Social Committee exists since 1957, there is only scarce literature on this institution. While in the 80s and 90s a few articles and books were published, there has been hardly any literature since 2000. This mere fact may already provide an indication of the Committee’s role in today’s institutional structure of the European Union: Civil society has found other ways of representation. On the one hand, formal ways of participating in the decision making process increased, for instance through the various consultative bodies around the European Commission. On the other hand, informal participation through lobbying has grown and is often regarded as being more profitable and more efficient than the involvement of an assembly with 344 members which has to agree with a majority on its opinions. Not only on this account is the work of the EESC facing critics. Under the heading “Four good reasons to abolish the Economic and Social Committee”, Helle Thorning-Schmidt (2003), member of the European Convention and European Parliament, challenges the Committee’s right to exist. Her accusations are profound: Unfocused, too expensive, inefficient and not sufficiently European was the EESC’s work. Other authors are not so pessimistic. Vierlich-Jürcke (1998) refers to the Committee’s ability to “democratize” the decision making system in the European Union by fostering the dialogue between government and the public. Smismans (2000) agrees on these positive effects, but is in favour of some changes to the composition of the Committee. He wants to strengthen links between civil society, broaden the deliberative basis and bring more expertise. He states that an increased input-legitimacy contributes to output-legitimacy. On a more abstract basis, the critics are not only about efficiency and legitimacy. The question whether the Committee has (still) a right to exist touches the concept of democracy we want to establish in the European Union. The EU has been a “participatory democracy” from the beginning, and the Constitution’s article 46 again strengthens possibilities to participate.

A report on the impact of the EESC's work over the 2002-2006 period makes clear that the committee adds substantial and wideranging value both to the decision-making process within the European institutions and to organised civil society for which it provides an institutional framework"--P.
