At the request of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU, the EESC is drawing up this opinion to suggest recommendations on how to tackle inequalities, foster upwards social convergence and strengthen social security systems and ensure its long-term affordability, in an EU economic governance framework/European Semester defined around debt sustainability, productive investments and reforms. This opinion is also focusing on the implications of such a framework for the European Semester, and the further strengthening of the social pillar herein. Finally, the opinion also looks at ways of continuing to further develop fiscal instruments that have a stabilising role at the European level, based e.g. on the experience of SURE.
This year’s Annual Sustainable Growth Survey (ASGS) outlines the policy priorities in the coming year and provides guiding principles for implementing them in the 2023 European Semester cycle. This survey takes into account the systemic shocks facing the EU, which are undermining the first signs of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, and sets out strategic guidance. These pursue the EU policy objectives of the green and digital transition and are structured around the four dimensions of competitive sustainability, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. The ASGS 2023 also continues to guide Member States in the implementation of the national Recovery and Resilience Plans (RRPs).

Cet avis supplémentaire sur la stratégie annuelle de croissance durable 2022 tient compte du processus Semestre en cours et fournit des éléments pour le prochain cycle. Cet exercice est particulièrement important cette année. Depuis l'attaque de la Russie contre l'Ukraine, le paysage géopolitique a radicalement changé, et les politiques ont été rapidement adaptées, comme en témoignent les communications sur "RepowerEU" et "Notre modèle de croissance européen". Le CESE attire également l'attention sur les résultats de la conférence sur l'avenir de l'Europe, qui envisage de nouvelles mesures politiques, notamment une convention visant à évaluer la nécessité de modifier le traité. Le semestre, qui subit lui-même un changement systémique, s'est révélé être un cadre crédible pour la coordination des politiques de l'UE pendant la pandémie. Dans le Paquet de printemps, les implications de la guerre en Ukraine sont à nouveau reflétées de manière exhaustive.
