European Semester 2019 Spring Package
The European Commission presents on June 5, 2019 the 2019 country-specific recommendations, giving economic policy guidance to all EU Member States for the next 12 to 18 months. The country-specific recommendations build on the wider priorities outlined in the President's State of the Union address and the Annual Growth Survey. They are revised every year to reflect the progress made and the changing environment.
The European economy is growing for the seventh consecutive year and is set to continue expanding in 2020, with all Member States' economies growing despite less favourable conditions and global uncertainties. The number of people in employment is at a record high and unemployment at a record low. At the same time, there are still significant differences between countries, regions and population groups. Against this backdrop, the Commission calls on Member States to build on the progress made in recent years. Read country specific recommendations.
