2027 European Semester – Autumn Package

The European Semester Autumn Package marks the beginning of a new cycle of the European Semester. It includes a set of documents that outline the socio-economic landscape, highlight key priorities and risks, and provide policy guidance to support Member States in achieving these objectives. Every year, the EESC adopts an opinion linked to the European Semester Autumn Package.

The EESC opinion on the 2027 European Semester – Autumn Package is planned for adoption at the March 2027 EESC plenary session, in order to provide timely input and recommendations on critical economic, social, and environmental concerns, particularly in light of the ongoing socio-economic and geopolitical challenges affecting growth, competitiveness, security, energy and climate. This opinion will also allow the EESC to reflect in a comprehensive manner on the current challenges for the European Semester, that has become a solid and well-established instrument for the EU’s economic governance and policy coordination with Member States, especially in light of the ongoing implementation of the new fiscal framework and its link with the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF).
