EESC \u2013 European Economic and Social Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Monday, the first day of our Brussels field trip with our European Markets class, we visited
\nthe European Economic and Social Committee. After a security check, which lasted a few
\nminutes due to the number of participants, we were very warm-welcomed and guided to our
\nconference room. Jean-Pierre Faure, head of the secretariat of the single market observatory
\nat the European Economic and Social Committee, first introduced himself and the purpose of
\nthe conference room, in which we sat. The room was well-equipped with cameras,
\nmicrophones, screens, recording tools and headphones. Furthermore, the conference room
\nprovides enough space for interpreters and translators. After the introduction, he told us about
\nhis profession, explained the operations of the single market observatory operates, the
\ninfluence of regulations on the single market and about the BREXIT. Additionally, he explicitly
\noutlined the history of the European Union and the European Economic and Social Committee.
\nSubsequently, he explained us the budget, primary functions, consistency, ethics and the
\npurpose of the European Economic and Social Committee from his point of view.<\/p>\n

It was a fascinating speech, in which he included the audience. Unfortunately, the meeting
\nended very quickly, and we have not had time for questions since he subsequently had an
\nurgent meeting. Previously, he suggested us to do a traineeship at European institutions. It
\nwas a fascinating day, and we strongly recommend everybody to visit the European
\ninstitutions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Impressions<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are very pleased with the opportunity to attend the Brussels field trip. Due to the
\nparticipation, we could attend all the open, interesting and friendly discussions in the EESC
\nand other institutions located in Brussels. The visit in the European Economic and Social
\nCommittee was very impressive. Jean-Pierre Faure conveyed us a very positive impression
\nabout the European Union which are very helpful and necessary for our further business
\ndevelopment. Further on, all institution visits supported us in our learning progress
\nsuccessfully.<\/p>\n

The trip also improved the relationship to our fellow students, and we gained significant
\nknowledge about many cultures. Since we were responsible for organizing the leisure time on
\nour own, as well as accommodations and journey, we had cool activities after the visits of the
\nEU institutions.<\/p>\n

All in all, we heartily enjoyed the official visits and the interconnection with our fellow students.
\nIf you have the opportunity to participate in a field trip, we highly recommend in doing so.<\/p>\n

Best regards<\/p>\n

Tiina, Justin, Carl<\/p>\n
