14 April 2015 10:51
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester Valdis #Dombrovskis: For the 1st time since 2007 all the 28 EU member states will have a positive growth. There are some risks for #Greece, however 14 April 2015 11:16
Adelina Marini #Dombrovskis: We expect a marked decrease of unemployment in 2016. This year this decrease will be more modest 14 April 2015 11:17
Adelina Marini #Dombrovskis: The 2013 country-specific recommendations implementation is only partial so far. That is to some extent due to the normal lag of implementation but it is also true that there is a lack of ambition 14 April 2015 11:19
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester #Dombrovskis: In May, the Commission will decide whether to undertake punitive measures against Croatia and France depending on the national reforms programme the two countries will present 14 April 2015 11:24
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester Pierre #Moscovici: As regards #France we have not found any evidence of non-implementation of political commitments for 2013/2014 14 April 2015 11:28
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester #Moscovici: As regards #Italy and #Belgium we are awaiting the effect of their structural reforms 14 April 2015 11:30
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester #Moscovici: The Commission will for now continue with surveillance only for Portugal, Italy and Bulgaria 14 April 2015 11:35
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester #Moscovici: #Slovenia is the only country for which the macroeconomic imbalances procedure has been deescalated proving this country's success 14 April 2015 11:36
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester #Moscovici: The Commission decisions have been taken on a completely objective basis and with unanimity by the College 14 April 2015 11:40
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester Elisa #Ferreira (Portugal, S&D): It's time to change the concept of structural reforms. We should stop calling them structural reforms because the term is overused which creates political problems. Structural reforms should come from the member states in a dialogue with the Commission, not vice versa 14 April 2015 11:46
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester #Dombrovskis: That is why we have changed the procedure of the European Semester to allow for more discussions. The implementation rate of the country-specific recommendations is still too low 14 April 2015 11:48
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester #Moscovici: The decision on #France is not generosity. France is expected to do more 14 April 2015 11:52
Adelina Marini #EuropeanSemester #Moscovici: What we want to see in all member states, including #Greece, is concrete actions 14 April 2015 12:09
Adelina Marini #EMU #Dombrovskis: The second four presidents' report will consist of two stages. The first is what can be done now in the framework of the current treaties and the second is what can be done in the longer term with a view of treaty change 14 April 2015 12:14
Adelina Marini #Moscovici: Our main objective is to ensure #Greece will remain in the euro area in an acceptable for the Greeks way. We have to find a professional approach not an ideological one 14 April 2015 12:19
Adelina Marini #Dombrovskis: #US never had a confidence crisis whereas many euro area countries had precisely this problem 14 April 2015 12:24
Adelina Marini @evapaunova (Bulgaria,EPP): What will the Commission do to enhance the dialogue on #EuropeanSemester with national parliaments? 14 April 2015 12:34
