As part of the EU’s annual cycle of economic policy guidance and monitoring, the European Commission each autumn takes a close look at economic developments in the Member States to watch out for potential problems and to ensure the coordination of economic policies among countries sharing the euro currency.
The European Commission’s Alert Mechanism Report
(378 kB) 
(AMR) kick starts the EU’s annual Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure (MIP), an early warning system to detect and address economic trends that could upset the smooth functioning of national economies, the euro area, or the EU. The AMR uses a scoreboard of indicators to screen for potential economic imbalances that policymakers should address. Based on a careful analysis of the results, the European Commission will now carry out and In-Depth Review (IDR) to examine further the persistence of imbalances or their unwinding in 16 Member States.

Each year, the EU countries that share the euro as their currency submit draft budgetary plans to the European Commission. The Commission assess the plans to ensure that economic policy among the countries sharing the euro is coordinated and that they all respect the EU’s economic governance rules. The draft budgetary plans are graded as either compliant, partially compliant, or at risk of non-compliance.
