On 2 July 2026, representatives of all 15 European Union Domestic Advisory Groups (DAGs) met at the European Economic and Social Committee to discuss how civil society can play a stronger role in implementing EU trade agreements. The gathering, the fifth annual All‑DAGs meeting, brought together DAG members and officials from the European Commission and Parliament. Attendees examined the expanding network of trade agreements, the importance of sustainability provisions, and the use of the Single Entry Point complaints mechanism. Speakers highlighted the need for transparency, accountability and closer cooperation with Parliament and the Commission. The session aimed to identify practical measures to improve DAG operations and ensure that civil society remains influential as trade policy becomes more strategic and geopolitical.
