Press Release: Commission adopts 2013 Work Programme

In his State of the Union address on 12 September, President Barroso set out an ambitious vision for the EU. The overarching task remains to return the EU to sustainable growth. This is the number one task, and it requires new thinking and targeted action in a limited number of key policy areas. The Commission Work Programme 2013 (CWP), which was adopted on 23 October 2012, sets out how the Commission will work to this end for the next year and beyond.
