European Semester

Achieving Europe's 2020 targets of sustainable growth is a team effort that will require the coordination of Member States' budgetary and economic plans. To lead this fiscal and economic choreography, the EU has set up the European Semester, a key element in the EU's economic governance. The European Semester aims to detect, prevent, and correct dangerous economic trends such as excessive government deficits or public debt levels that could put a country, or the whole Euro area, into trouble again.
