The second subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 (4) lays down that the amounts that are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State, in accordance with the accounts clearance decision referred to in the first subparagraph, shall be determined by deducting advances paid during the financial year in question, i.e. 2006, from expenditure recognised for that year in accordance with the first subparagraph. Such amounts are to be deducted from, or added to, advances against expenditure from the second month following that in which the accounts clearance decision is taken.

| (4) | Pursuant to Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 50 % of the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities shall be borne by the Member State concerned and 50 % by the Community budget if the recovery of those irregularities has not taken place within four years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within eight years if the recovery is taken to the national courts. Article 32(3) of the said Regulation obliges Member States to submit to the Commission, together with the annual accounts, a summary report on the recovery procedures undertaken in response to irregularities. Detailed rules on the application of the Member States’ reporting obligation of the amounts to be recovered are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (5). Annex III to the said Regulation provides the model tables 1 and 2 that have to be provided in 2007 by the Member States. On the basis of the tables completed by the Member States, the Commission should decide on the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities older than four or eight years respectively.

Pursuant to Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 50 % of the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities shall be borne by the Member State concerned and 50 % by the Community budget if the recovery of those irregularities has not taken place within four years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within eight years if the recovery is taken to the national courts. Article 32(3) of the said Regulation obliges Member States to submit to the Commission, together with the annual accounts, a summary report on the recovery procedures undertaken in response to irregularities. Detailed rules on the application of the Member States’ reporting obligation of the amounts to be recovered are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (5).

This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.

| (5) | Pursuant to Article 32(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, Member States may decide not to pursue recovery. Such a decision may only be taken if the costs already and likely to be incurred total more than the amount to be recovered or if the recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under national law, of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity. If that decision has been taken within four years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within eight years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the Community budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 32(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently to be borne by the Community budget. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of the said Regulation. |

In the light of the verifications made, the information submitted by certain paying agencies requires additional inquiries and their accounts cannot be therefore cleared in this Decision.

| (8) | Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 lays down that monthly payments are to be reduced for expenditure effected by the Member States after the deadlines laid down therein, in accordance with Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2040/2000 of 26 September 2000 on budgetary discipline (5) and Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005. However, under Article 9(4) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006, any overrun of deadlines during August, September and October is to be taken into account in the accounts clearance decision except where noted before the last decision of the financial year relating to monthly payments. Some of the expenditure declared by certain Member States during the abovementioned period was effected after the deadlines and for some measures the Commission did not accept any extenuating circumstances. This Decision should therefore fix the relevant reductions. In accordance with Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, a decision will be taken at a later date, fixing definitively the expenditure for which Community financing will not be granted regarding those reductions and any other expenditure which may be found to have been effected after the fixed deadlines. |

| (12) | Pursuant to Article 32(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, Member States may decide not to pursue recovery. Such a decision may only be taken if the costs already and likely to be incurred total more than the amount to be recovered or if the recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under national law, of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity. If that decision has been taken within four years of the primary administrative or judicial finding or within eight years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the Community budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 32(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently to be borne by the Community budget.

(1)  In respect of SI, reductions made regarding late payments (–11 173,87 EUR) and other reductions (–14 688,91 EUR) have already been booked by the Member State in the accounts. The reductions and suspensions are those taken into account in the payment system, to which are added in particular the corrections for the non-respect of payment deadlines established in August, September and October 2007.

(2)  Payments made in EUR are broken down according to the currency of declarations. In the case of CZ, DK, EE, HU, LV, PL and SK, the total expenditure has been divided in EUR and national currency parts (Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006).

(3)  For the calculation of the amount to be recovered from or paid to the Member State the amount taken into account is the total of the annual declaration for the expenditure cleared (column a), or the total of the monthly declarations for the expenditure disjoined (column b). Applicable exchange rate: Article 7(2) of the Regulation (EC) No 883/2006.

(4)  If the assigned revenue part would be to the advantage of the Member State, it has to be declared under 05070106.

If that decision has been taken within four years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within eight years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the Community budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 33(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently to be borne by the Community budget.

on the 2008 update of the broad guidelines for the economic policies of the Member States and the Community and on the implementation of Member States’ employment policies

(2008/399/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 99(2) and Article 128(4) thereof,

Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,

Having regard to the conclusions of the European Council on 13 and 14 March 2008,

Having regard to the opinion of the Employment Committee,

Whereas:

| (1) | The Council adopted in July 2005 a Recommendation on the broad guidelines for the economic policies of the Member States and the Community (2005 to 2008) (1) and a Decision on Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (2), which together form the ‘Integrated guidelines for growth and jobs’. Member States were invited to take the Integrated guidelines for growth and jobs into account in their national reform programmes (hereinafter ‘NRPs’). |

(1)

The Council adopted in July 2005 a Recommendation on the broad guidelines for the economic policies of the Member States and the Community (2005 to 2008) (1) and a Decision on Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (2), which together form the ‘Integrated guidelines for growth and jobs’. Member States were invited to take the Integrated guidelines for growth and jobs into account in their national reform programmes (hereinafter ‘NRPs’).

| (2) | Member States submitted their NRPs by October 2005, which the Commission assessed and reported on in its contribution to the 2006 Spring European Council. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Member States submitted their NRPs by October 2005, which the Commission assessed and reported on in its contribution to the 2006 Spring European Council.

| (3) | The 2006 Spring European Council took note of these documents and identified four priority areas (R & D and innovation, business environment, employment opportunities and an integrated energy policy) within which it agreed a limited number of specific actions which it urged Member States to complete before the end of 2007. |

| (4) | In accordance with the conclusions of the 2006 Spring European Council, the Member States presented annual reports on the implementation of the national reform programmes (implementation reports). These implementation reports were analysed by the Commission, which presented its findings in the 2007 Annual Progress Report. |

In accordance with the conclusions of the 2006 Spring European Council, the Member States presented annual reports on the implementation of the national reform programmes (implementation reports). These implementation reports were analysed by the Commission, which presented its findings in the 2007 Annual Progress Report.

| (5) | On the basis of this analysis, a number of country-specific recommendations were issued to the Member States in 2007. In order to pursue the Lisbon strategy for growth and jobs in a coherent, integrated manner, these recommendations were adopted in a single instrument, in the Council Recommendation 2007/209/EC of 27 March 2007 on the 2007 update of the broad guidelines for the economic policies of the Member States and the Community and on the implementation of Member States’ employment policies (3). This approach reflected the integrated structure of the NRPs and implementation reports, as well as the necessary consistency between the employment guidelines and the Article 99(2) broad economic policy guidelines, as underlined in Article 128(2) of the Treaty. |

ANNEX

BELGIUM

| 1. | In the light of Belgium’s 2007 Implementation Report and the Commission’s assessment of progress made to implement key structural reforms and based on the Integrated guidelines for growth and jobs, the following conclusions are appropriate: |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | Belgium has made good progress in implementing its National Reform Programme (NRP) over the 2005-2007 period. Belgium has shown some progress in fulfilling the commitments agreed by the 2006 Spring European Council in the four priority action areas. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 3. | The Implementation Report shows some policy response to the Council recommendations, but further reform is still necessary. There has been some response on the additional areas identified in the Council conclusions as requiring attention. The Implementation Report also specifically addresses the recommendations issued to the euro area countries. |
| --- | --- |

3.

| 4. | Among the strengths shown by Belgium’s 2007 Implementation Report are the emission reduction policies and the promising results of the guidance and monitoring system of unemployed people. |
| --- | --- |

4.

| 5. | The policy areas in the Belgian NRP where challenges need to be tackled with the highest priority are reducing the tax burden on labour whilst strengthening fiscal consolidation and improving labour market performance. Against this background it is recommended that Belgium:






  — | continue its efforts to further reduce the tax burden on labour towards the average of its neighbouring countries, especially by reducing the tax wedge on low-skilled workers, while strengthening fiscal consolidation, |
| --- | --- | --- |

5.

—

continue its efforts to further reduce the tax burden on labour towards the average of its neighbouring countries, especially by reducing the tax wedge on low-skilled workers, while strengthening fiscal consolidation,

| — | reinforce the policy measures to improve the performance of its labour market through a comprehensive strategy, in accordance with an integrated flexicurity approach, to enhance labour market participation, lower regional disparities, and increase participation in lifelong learning. |
| --- | --- |

—

reinforce the policy measures to improve the performance of its labour market through a comprehensive strategy, in accordance with an integrated flexicurity approach, to enhance labour market participation, lower regional disparities, and increase participation in lifelong learning.

| 6. | In addition, it will be important for Belgium to focus on the following challenges: to fully implement the strategy aiming to ensure the long-term sustainability of public finances, including expenditure restraints, fiscal surpluses, and a persistent reduction of government debt; urgently take further measures to improve competition in gas and electricity markets, including through independent and effective regulators and additional measures concerning transmission and distribution operators; to increase substantially its commitment to stimulating R & D and innovation notably by increasing both the level and impact of public funding and developing a coordinated policy mix at all levels; continuing the implementation of the measures to increase the employment rate for older workers and vulnerable groups, monitor their impact and, if need be, take further activation measures. |
| --- | --- |

6.

BULGARIA

| 1. | In the light of Bulgaria’s 2007 Implementation Report and the Commission’s assessment of its National Reform Programme (NRP) and based on the Integrated guidelines for growth and jobs, the following conclusions are appropriate: |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | Overall, the NRP focuses on the right challenges, but in some areas more concrete measures need to be developed, in particular as regards further strengthening administrative capacity as well as urgently and significantly reducing red tape to make the business environment more dynamic and competitive. Given the growing economic imbalances it is particularly important for Bulgaria to accelerate the implementation of its NRP in order to create the necessary conditions for sustainable growth and jobs in the medium to longer term. |
| --- | --- |

| 3. | The NRP’s strengths include a clear problem analysis and right prioritisation and sequencing of reforms as well as strong political ownership.

EURO AREA MEMBER STATES

| 1. | In the light of the 2007 Implementation Reports of the euro area Member States, and the Commission’s assessment of progress made in implementing key structural reforms and based on the Integrated guidelines for growth and jobs, the following conclusions are appropriate: |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | Based on their Implementation Reports, the euro area Member States have been making some progress in implementing policy measures that improve the functioning of the euro area. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 3. | Significant further reforms are necessary to fulfil the microeconomic and employment recommendations. The progress recorded in 2007 concerning the macroeconomic area needs to be sustained. |
| --- | --- |

3.

| 4. | Among the strengths shown by the 2007 Implementation Reports of the euro area Member States are: budgetary adjustment in 2007, the implementation of legislation to foster financial market integration, and wage bargaining systems more conducive to wage flexibility in some Member States. |
| --- | --- |

4.

| 5. | The policy areas in the euro area where challenges now need to be tackled with the highest priority are: the sustainability of public finances and their contribution to growth; competition in product markets, especially in services, financial integration and competition in financial retail services, in order to facilitate adjustment and more flexible prices; adequate wage developments at the aggregate, sector, regional and occupational level in line with productivity developments in order to ensure competitiveness; flexicurity in labour markets in accordance with the agreed common principles; and more labour mobility in order to foster labour market adjustment. |
| --- | --- |

5.

| 6. | Against this background it is recommended that the euro area Member States together with their country specific recommendations:






  — | continue pursuing budgetary consolidation towards their medium-term objectives in line with the Stability and Growth Pact, hence striving to achieve an annual structural adjustment of at least 0,5 % of GDP as a benchmark. The Eurogroup in April 2007 agreed on ‘taking advantage of the favourable cyclical conditions, most euro area members would achieve their medium-term objectives in 2008 or 2009 and all of them should aim for 2010 at the latest’. Budgetary positions where medium-term objectives have been attained should be maintained, |

| 7. | To maximise policy synergies, which are stronger in a monetary union, and enhance political ownership of reforms, euro area Member States should continue to strengthen policy coordination in the context of the Eurogroup and in international forums, and existing agreements for the external representation of the euro area should be fully implemented. This would significantly contribute to successfully addressing policy challenges within the euro area and in the global economy. The Eurogroup’s April 2007 Berlin orientations on public finances are a welcome step in this regard. Euro area Member States are invited to take into account these recommendations in their national policies. The Eurogroup will regularly review their implementation. |
