On 9 July 2013, the Council adopted a recommendation on France’s national reform programme for 2013 and delivered its opinion on France’s updated stability programme for 2012-2017. On 15 November 2013 in line with Regulation (EU) No 473/2013, the Commission presented its opinion on France’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 France 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 France, under Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011. The Commission’s analysis leads it to conclude that France continues to experience macroeconomic imbalances, which require specific monitoring and decisive policy action. In particular, the deterioration in the trade balance and in competitiveness and the implications of the high level of public sector indebtedness deserve continuous policy attention. On 7 May 2014, France 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. |
