Henri Malosse, former EESC President with Ruslana Lyzhychko and José Manuel Barroso, European Commission President, at the 01/2014 EESC Plenary in Brussels.

Henri Malosse was born on 6 October 1954 to Corsican parents.[1] At 16, he began exploring the cultures of Eastern Europe and speaks Polish, Russian and German. Malosse graduated from the Paris Institute of Political Science(Sciences Po) in 1976.[2]

He was involved in European policies for SMEs, inspiring the creation of the Euro Info Centres.[1] He worked to create the delegation of the Assembly of French Chambers of Commerce and Industry to the European Union, and assumed its presidency six years later.[1] He also created the European Association of Small and Medium Enterprises in the European Parliament.[1]

From 1995 he worked in the European Economic and Social Committee - EESC, a consultative body of the European Union, of which he was elected president in April 2013,[3] Rudy Aernoudt becoming his director of cabinet.[4]

He is the author of more than 50 reports, including one that criticises the Bolkestein Directive[1] and several books.

On 31 March 2014, during the visit of Xi Jinping in Brussels, he participated in a march for human rights in China.[5] He visited 14th Dalai Lama in Dharamsala[6] on 10 March 2014, following which the MEPs Marine Le Pen and Philip Claeys requested the deletion of the EESC in a draft resolution.[7]
