Wirtschaftspolitische Steuerung

The European Union should grasp the opportunity of the new political mandate and financial period to improve its economic policy coordination and governance. The European Semester should become the most important element of economic policy coordination and a multi-level and multi-actor governance approach should be implemented, says the European Economic and Social Committee. It suggests that an EESC competence centre for exchange of information could be established to address implementation concerns in relation to a future EU strategy.

Am Vorabend des EU-Gipfels am Freitag, den 21. Juni, in Brüssel fordert der Europäische Wirtschafts- und Sozialausschuss die EU-Spitzen in seiner soeben verabschiedeten Stellungnahme auf, größere Anstrengungen zur Stärkung der internationalen Rolle des Euro zu unternehmen. Dies sei wünschenswert, aber auch notwendig, da ein starker Euro den Wohlstand der Bürger und Unternehmen der EU mehrt, die gemeinsamen Werte wahrt und den gemeinsamen Interessen dient, betont der Ausschuss.

Building up a more sustainable and resilient European economy and completing Economic and Monetary Union should be priorities for the next European Commission and European Parliament: these points emerged from a public hearing held by the European Economic and Social Committee on 12 April 2019.
