Press Release: Partnership for Growth and Jobs well on track: 23 Member States have delivered national reform programmes

The Commission had already started to assess the programmes and was planning to present a report in January 2006, which would subsequently go to the March European Council. All 23 programs offered an overview over the planned measures in the areas of macro- and microeconomic policies as well as on employment.
