Summary:

The European Commission launched the 2024 European Semester cycle of economic policy coordination with the publication of its Autumn Package on 21 November 2023.

Further information:

The European Semester provides a framework for coordinating economic and employment policies of the Member States in the European Union (EU). The cycle of economic policy coordination is launched with an Autumn Package. This year's package draws on the Autumn 2023 Economic Forecast which showed that, despite its resilience in the face of multiple shocks in recent years, the EU's economy had lost growth momentum in a context of high inflation and tighter financing conditions.

This Package includes:

  • Annual Sustainable Growth Survey;
  • Commission proposal for the euro area recommendation for 2024;
  • Communication on the 2024 Draft Budgetary Plans of euro area Member States;
  • Commission's opinions on the Draft Budgetary Plans (DBPs) of euro area Member States;
  • The 2023 Alert Mechanism Report;
  • Proposal for a Joint Employment Report for 2024;
  • ETUC priorities for the 2024 Autumn Package.
