On 9 July 2013, the Council adopted a recommendation on Belgium’s national reform programme for 2013 and delivered its opinion on Belgium’s updated stability programme for 2012-2016. On 15 November 2013, in line with Regulation (EU) No 473/2013, the Commission presented its opinion on Belgium's draft budgetary plan for 2014. On 13 November 2013, the Commission adopted the Annual Growth Survey, marking the start of the 2014 European Semester of economic policy coordination. On the same day, on the basis of Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011, the Commission adopted the Alert Mechanism Report, in which it identified Belgium as one of the Member States for which an in-depth review would be carried out. On 5 March 2014, the Commission published the results of its in-depth review for Belgium, under Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011 on the prevention and correction of macroeconomic imbalances. The Commission’s analysis leads it to conclude that Belgium continues to experience macroeconomic imbalances, which require monitoring and policy action. In particular, developments with regard to the external competitiveness of goods continue to deserve attention as a persistent deterioration would threaten macroeconomic stability. On 30 April 2014, Belgium submitted its 2014 national reform programme and its 2014 stability programme. In order to take account of their interlinkages, the two programmes have been assessed at the same time. |
