Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs
The Chair
To the Chairpersons of the National Parliaments
Dear Chairperson,
Dear colleague,
The Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee (ECON) of the European Parliament will
discuss at its meeting of 9 October 2018 (14:30 - 16:30) the draft report on the European
Semester for economic policy coordination: implementation of 2018 priorities.
At this occasion, the committee will have a debate on the assessment of the 2018 European
Semester as well as on the priorities for the 2019 Annual Growth Survey, which will be the
basis for next year's Semester. Furthermore, the Council of the Union has adopted Country-
Specific Recommendations, which directly concern your country. With this in mind, and
building on the success of similar events in previous years, the ECON Committee would like
to invite National Parliaments to attend the discussion on this topic at their meeting of 9
October.
Given the high importance of the subject matter, we would welcome your personal attendance
to express your committee's views on the Country-Specific Recommendations that are
addressed to your country by the Council of the Union and to comment on the draft European
Parliament's report on the European Semester prepared in the ECON committee.
The draft agenda, some questions that could frame the discussion on Country-Specific
Recommendations, other supporting documents and the online registration form will be
forwarded to the Brussels representative of your Parliament Chamber in due course by the
Directorate for relations with national Parliaments. For further information on the meeting
itself, please contact Ms. Bettina de Souza Guilherme ([email protected])
of the ECON Committee Secretariat.
I hope that you will accept this invitation and look forward to welcoming you in the European
Parliament.
With best regards,
Roberto Gualtieri
