ECOSY - Young European Socialists is an association of socialist and social democratic youth organisations in the European Union. The most widely accepted pronunciation of ECOSY is as a single word with short "e" and short "o".
Ecosy is the youth organisation of the Party of European Socialists (PES) and is a member of the International Union of Socialist Youth (Iusy). The seat of the organisation is Brussels.
Full members status is held to the European Youth Forum (YFJ) which operates within the Council of Europe and European Union areas and works closely with both these bodies.
Petroula Nteledimou (Neolaia PASOK) is Ecosy president, Janna Besamusca (Jonge Socialisten in de PvdA) is Secretary General.

[edit] History
Ecosy was founded as the European Community Organisation of Socialist Youth in November 1992 in Oegstgeest/The Hague.
Before 1992 the European activities had been coordinated inside Iusy, especially in the European Leaders Meeting. The foundation of Ecosy had been controversial. In particular, the Austrians and the Swedish promoted an all-European organisation, including the non-EU members.
The European Socialist Youth (Esy), founded in parallel, was only a weak organisation, a short time later renamed as European Committee, one of the Iusy continental committees.
