Dear Madam,
Dear Sir,
 
At its 521st plenary session, held on 14 and 15 December 2016, the European Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion, available in all language versions: 
 
SOC/547 - CEAS Reform II
 
In this opinion the EESC supports further harmonisation of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) and welcomes the proposed improvements. However, it is concerned about some limitations of fundamental rights of asylum seekers. It sets out specific recommendations on the three proposals for: the Qualification Regulation, the Common Procedure Regulation and the Standards of Reception Directive, taking into account the human rights perspective, in line with the opinion on CEAS Reform I (SOC/543)
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Pavel Trantina

President of the Section for
Employment, Social Affairs and Citizenship

Chère Madame,
Cher Monsieur,
 
Lors de sa 521e session plénière des 14 et 15 décembre 2016, le Comité économique et social européen a adopté l'avis suivant, disponible dans toutes les versions linguistiques:
 
 
Dans cet avis, le CESE soutient une plus grande harmonisation du régime d'asile européen commun (RAEC) et accueille favorablement les améliorations apportées. Toutefois, il s'inquiète de certaines limitations des droits fondamentaux des demandeurs d'asile. Il formule des recommandations spécifiques sur les trois propositions concernant: le règlement sur les conditions d'octroi de protection, le règlement sur la procédure commune et la directive sur les normes d'accueil, en tenant compte de la perspective des droits de l'homme, conformément à l'avis sur la réforme du REAC I (SOC/543).
 
Bien à vous,
 
Pavel Trantina

The 'Enescu Concerts' Series resumes with a spectacular recital offered by violinist Remus Azoiţei and pianist Eduard Stan, the supreme experts in George Enescu's chamber work. With a programme that highlights the manifold connections between Romanian and French classical music, the duo's hypnotic presence will prove once more why they are considered to have established the golden standard of Enescu's interpretation.   

Ciprian PorumbescuBallade
George Enescu: 'Impressions d'enfance' Suite, Op. 28
Gabriel FauréSonata in A Major
Maurice Ravel: 'Tzigane' Rhapsody

Described in The Strad as "an uninhibited virtuoso, with soul and fabulous technique", renowned violinist Remus Azoiţei has been a featured soloist of prestigious European ensembles, including the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Orchestre National de Belgique and Deutsche Kammer Orchester. He is a violin professor at the Royal Academy of Music in London and the Artistic Director of the Enescu Society in Great Britain.

Hailed by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for his "eminent sense of tonal timbres and colours", pianist Eduard Stan has received international acclaim throughout the world. He has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York, Konzerthaus and Philharmonie in Berlin, Concertgebouw Amsterdam and many other prestigious venues.

Together, Azoiței and Stan recorded the complete works for violin and piano by Enescu, an authoritative world premiere project. Released by Hänssler Classic in 2007/08, this collection is part of a series of critically acclaimed solo CDs recorded by the pianist for the same label, with a repertoire ranging from Bach to Debussy.
