In this Commentary, CEPS Director Daniel Gros and Stefano Micossi, Director General of Assonime, hold up policy coordination at the EU level as an effective remedy for handling the negative spillover effects resulting from uncoordinated policies in the critical areas of labour market reform and immigration.
