Europa steht an einem entscheidenden Punkt: schwaches Wachstum und demografischer Druck senken das Potenzial. Das #EuropeanSemester muss stärker auf #Wettbewerbsfähigkeit ausgerichtet werden. Europas Investitionslücke liegt bei rund 800 Mrd. € pro Jahr.

#EuropeanSemester should better link labor market reforms w/ education & lifelong learning reforms.
We need to:
- focus on ability to switch jobs
- invest to digital skills
- support retraining
- ⬆️ employment services
- keep protecting quality of jobs & workers' rights
🔷 The 2026 #EuropeanSemester came at a decisive moment. Without stronger #productivity growth the EU will struggle to sustain public finances, defense capacity, invest in #innovation & preserve its social model.

🚨 The @ec.europa.eu released the 'Competitiveness Compact' and the Autumn Package of the #EuropeanSemester 2025. It marks a dismaying shift in EU policy priorities, away from social inclusion & #equality. But what does this mean for Europe's #Roma?

The #EuropeanSemester is not a holiday, as some Nordic citizens may think, but the process of coordination between EU member State's economic, social and fiscal policies. In essence: how to keep public spending under control if montary policy is made by the European Central Bank?
