The country-specific recommendations (CSRs) in the social field

As part of the European Semester, the main pillar of Europe's new economic governance, the Commission puts forward every year the 'country-specific recommendations' (CSRs).

This background analysis provides an overview of specific recommendations to the EU Member States in the field of employment and social policies. It also includes a brief 'statistical' comparison between the CSRs for 2013-14 and those presented by the Commission and adopted by the European Council in 2011 and 2012.
