On 10 November, I will be at the European Parliament to take part in this debate on funded literacy – an excellent opportunity to present the EESC’s views on this important issue, on which civil society organisations can play a decisive role.

Yesterday & today we are representing #coops in Dublin🇮🇪, at the Network of SME Envoys & the #SMECAssembly2026!

We discussed simplification, Ireland’s SME policy and #EUInc, the 28th regime.

EU Inc must be open to every type of enterprise, and using it must remain a choice. 💪

A More Co-operative Economy:
Europe’s Pragmatic Answer to an Age of Turmoil. This is the title of my presentation this afternoon in Dublin. Cooperatives can play a significant role in shaping economic and social change. Lead a cooperative is lead also a policy ecosystem.

Tous derrière @ianlipinski !

L'avenir de l'#IntelligenceArtificielle n'est pas prédéterminé. En tant que technologie développée par les êtres humains, son avenir dépend des choix que nous faisons. Nous avons donc la responsabilité d'orienter, de modifier et, lorsque cela s'avère nécessaire, de rejeter ses applications. Un système fiable au service de l'être humain a plus de valeur qu'un système extrêmement puissant dont les conséquences ne peuvent être ni prévues ni contrôlées de manière adéquate.

Today, the @EU_EESC Social Economy Category discussed the negotiations on the #EUBudget for 2028-2034 and their impact on the #SocialEconomy, as well as the sector's important role in Europe's health and care systems.
Many thanks to all the guest speakers for their participation!

Last week, the EESC Plenary Assembly adopted the exploratory opinion, requested by the European Commission, to highlight the role of civil society organisations in implementing financial education initiatives. You can read the opinion here eesc.europa.eu/en/our-work/op…

Il progresso tecnologico non è mai semplicemente una questione tecnica. Ogni tecnologia rispecchia, esplicitamente o implicitamente, una particolare comprensione della persona umana, della società e del futuro che desideriamo costruire. Il progresso scientifico e tecnologico, pertanto, deve essere accompagnato da una corrispondente crescita della responsabilità. Più è grande il nostro potere di trasformare il mondo, più deve essere grande la nostra capacità di discernere ciò che davvero serve la dignità umana donata da Dio, di governare saggiamente e di prenderci cura di coloro che potrebbero subire le conseguenze più grandi delle nostre scelte.

Our President @GiuseppeGuerin1 invites you to #coopseurope20 birthday 🎂.
