Campaign for the renewal of the EESC

The current EESC mandate will come to its end in September 2010 and, with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the new members will be nominated for a period of 4 years instead of 5. Each Member State designates a certain number of representatives for each group (I, II and III). Designations will start in January 2010; it is therefore crucial that we all take action from now in order to assist and inform our national members to propose the associative representatives they wish to find in Group III.
