    The joint ECON and EMPL economic dialogue on the European Semester Autumn Package will take place on the 15th of December in Strasbourg with the participation of Roxana Mînzatu, Executive Vice President for Social Rights and Skills, Quality Jobs and Preparedness and Valdis Dombrovskis, Commissioner for Economy and Productivity.

    The adoption of the Autumn Package marks the opening of the 2026 European Semester cycle and is setting out economic and employment policy priorities for the year to come.

    This year's package is particularly relevant for the EMPL Committee as beside the regular proposal for a Joint Employment Report (including the first stage analysis based on the Social Convergence Framework), it also contains a new EU27 recommendation on human capital as well as the first European Macroeconomic Report that also discusses issues around human capital and skills development. In parallel the two Committees are preparing their European Semester own-initiative reports (Nela Riehl, Greens/EFA, DE, EMPL rapporteur, Kira Marie Peter-Hansen Greens/EFA, DK, ECON rapporteur) on the employment, social and economic priorities within the European Semester for 2026. Some of the outcomes of this economic dialogue should feed into these reports.
