Recommendation for a Council Recommendation on Poland’s 2013 national reform programme and delivering a Council opinion on Poland’s convergence programme for 2012-2016

On 28 November 2012, the Commission adopted the Annual Growth Survey, marking the start of the 2013 European Semester of economic policy coordination. Also on 28 November 2012, the Commission, on the basis of Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011, adopted the Alert Mechanism Report, in which did not identify Poland as one of the Member States for which an in-depth review would be carried out.

On 30 April 2013, Poland submitted its 2013 convergence programme covering the period 2012-2016 and its 2013 national reform programme. In order to take account of their interlinkages, the two programmes have been assessed at the same time.
