The European Commission this week provided economic policy guidance to EU Member States under the 2023 European Semester Spring Package. The Package includes country reports taking stock of the specific socio-economic challenges in every Member State (see link to Ireland country report below). It also includes country-specific recommendations to provide guidance to Member States on how to tackle key economic and social challenges that are only partially or not addressed in their recovery and resilience plans (see link to Ireland recommendations below). Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said: "Today’s Semester recommendations set specific fiscal targets, while phasing out unfocused support and maintaining the momentum for key reforms and investments. This will be vital to secure the EU’s long-term prosperity and resilience."
