On Thursday, 21 January, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) held a seminar on “the role of an organised civil society in the democratic transition process: the example of Tunisia,” which was attended by members of the ‘Tunisian Quartet of National Dialogue’, the winner of the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize. The seminar was held on the sidelines of the EESC’s annual session.
The Nobel Prize “emphasizes the importance of civil society organisations”, George Dassis, president of the Committee, said in his opening address at the seminar.
