Recommendation for a Council Recommendation on Latvia’s 2014 national reform programme and delivering a Council opinion on Latvia’s 2014 stability programme

On 9 July 2013, the Council adopted a recommendation on Latvia's national reform programme for 2013 and delivered its opinion on Latvia's updated convergence programme for 2012-2016.

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 did not identify Latvia as one of the Member States for which an in-depth review would be carried out.

On 29 April 2014, Latvia submitted its 2014 national reform programme and on 30 April 2014 its 2014 stability programme. In order to take account of their interlinkages, the two programmes have been assessed at the same time.
