European Commission – Press release, (2015), “Annual Growth Survey 2016: Strengthening the recovery and fostering convergence”, European Commission, Brussels, 26 November.
Today’s package launches the annual cycle of economic governance. It sets out general economic and social priorities for the EU and gives Member States policy guidance for the following year. Policy challenges vary across countries, so responses will also vary. However, there are overarching themes that affect the EU as a whole. To strengthen the recovery and foster convergence, the Commission recommends building on the three main pillars identified last year for the EU’s economic and social policy: re-launching investment, pursuing structural reforms and responsible fiscal policies.
