Abstract

The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is an advisory body of the European Union based in Brussels. Since it was set up in 1957, the EESC has provided a unique forum for consultation, dialogue and consensus among representatives of the various economic, social and civil components of organised civil society. The EESC has a distinctive place in the EU's decision-making process as a consultative body that acts as an intermediary between the legislative (European Parliament and Council) and executive (European Commission) institutions of the EU.
