The Consultative Commission on Industrial Change (known by its French acronym of CCMI, Commission consultative des mutations industrielles) examines changes in industry across a wide range of sectors, keeping pace and tackling them according to the values of the European economic and social model.

It is established as a distinct body within the EESC and has a remit extended to all sectors of industry in both manufacturing and services.
