Recommendation for a Council Recommendation on Lithuania’s 2013 national reform programme and delivering a Council opinion on Lithuania’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 it did not identify Lithuania as one of the Member States for which an in-depth review would be carried out.

On 9 April 2013, Lithuania submitted its updated 2013 national reform programme and, on 26 April 2013, its convergence programme covering the period 2012-2016. In order to take account of their interlinkages, the two programmes have been assessed at the same time.
