"The Annual Growth Survey 2012 presented by the Commission appears to be a good basis for this year’s European Semester. The solutions specifically targeting the current sovereign debt and financial crisis, on which all the institutions are working on a daily basis, should go hand in hand with a major focus on medium- and long-term growth-enhancing measures, as well as an overhaul of the general economic framework, in order to improve the sustainability and competitiveness of the European economy and ensure its long-lasting success. The Annual Growth Survey, however, falls short of what is necessary to restore confidence among European households and enterprises as well as financial markets, since it overlooks the need to take urgent action to support short-term activity and employment in investing in the objectives of the EU 2020 strategy. The lack of, or unevenness in, the implementation in the Member States of guidelines agreed at EU level, which prevents them from unleashing their full potential to achieve EU 2020 goals, is a cause for concern. It is therefore heartening that this year’s Annual Growth Survey emphasises the need for the implementation of the guidelines as well as growth-enhancing actions. There needs to be a substantial increase in democratic legitimacy and an assumption of responsibility for the changes by the Member States. Last but not least, the fight against social exclusion and poverty should remain a high priority of every policy."@en1
