Commission Work Programme

The work programme shows how the Commission plans to give practical effect to the political priorities set out by the President. It provides a multiannual overview to help stakeholders and the other EU institutions plan their work with the Commission.

The Commission's overarching priorities for 2009-14 are set out in the President's political guidelines

Priorities and objectives for the year ahead are spelled out in the President's State of the European Union address each autumn (2012, 2011, 2010).

The Commission work programme is updated every year. Main priorities for the Commission work programme (CWP) 2013

  • Getting the foundations right: towards genuine Economic and Monetary Union
  • Boosting competitiveness through the Single Market and industrial policy
  • Connect to compete: building tomorrow's networks today
  • Growth for jobs: inclusion and excellence
  • Using Europe's resources to compete better
  • Building a safe and secure Europe
  • Pulling our weight: Europe as a global actor

Major initiatives must be accompanied by impact assessments. Commission departments prepare "roadmaps" of planned impact assessment work.

Monthly progress reports are sent to the other institutions together with an overview of Commission initiatives planned until the end of each.
