European Semester
AGE’s work on the European Semester over the years
The European Semester is the EU framework that coordinates social and economic policies in EU member states on a yearly basis. You can read more on this process on the European Commission’s website.
Together with our members, we monitor the European Semester to make sure it takes into account the key issues of interest to older people.
