Country-specific recommendations 2015: Further efforts needed to support a robust recovery
May 13, 2015--Further policy is needed to return to self-sustaining growth. The European Commission today adopted country-specific economic policy recommendations for 2015 and 2016 asking for national actions to create jobs and stimulate growth.
These recommendations reflect the Commission's economic and social agenda. Since President Juncker's Commission took office in November 2014 and published its Annual Growth Survey 2015, this agenda has focused on three mutually reinforcing pillars:
boosting investment, implementing structural reforms and pursuing
fiscal responsibility.
The successful implementation of the 2015 country-specific recommendations will be key to making Europe's return to jobs and growth sustainable and less dependent on the external, cyclical factors that currently support the recovery.
