Draft joint employment report. Annual growth survey 2013 annex.

Abstract

The draft Joint Employment Report, mandated by Article 148 TFEU, is part of the Annual growth Survey (AGS) package to launch the 2013 European Semester. As key input to strengthened economic guidance, the JER underpins the key employment messages contained in the AGS. The analysis it contains is based on the employment and social situation in Europe, on the implementation of the Employment Guidelines1, on the examination of the National Reform Programmes that led to the country-specific recommendations adopted by the Council in July 2012 and on the assessment of their implementation so far.
