Luca Jahier, President of the EESC emphasised on the importance of the European Commission reflection paper in a statement "The EC reflection paper on sustainable Europe is a window of opportunity that the EESC is determined to seize". The meeting will be an opportunity to discuss about next steps to achieve the SDGs in the European Union within the eleven years that are left.
