The recommendations require Member States' action on the implementation of reforms in order to boost investment, pursue structural reforms and ensure responsible fiscal policies; recommendations to the Council to abrogate the Excessive Deficit Procedures (EDP) (under Article 126(12) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)) for Croatia and Portugal as these countries have brought their deficits below the 3% of GDP Treaty reference value; reports on Belgium and Finland under Article 126(3) TFEU, reviewing their compliance with the debt criterion of the Treaty in 2016; a confirmation concerning Italy that the requested additional fiscal ...[+++] measures for 2017 have been delivered and that therefore no further steps are deemed to be necessary for compliance with the debt criterion at this stage; a recommendation to the Council with a view to giving a warning to Romania on the existence of a significant observed deviation from the adjustment path toward the medium-term objective in 2016, as well as a recommendation to the Council with a view to correcting the significant observed deviation from the adjustment path toward the medium-term objective (under Article 121(4) TFEU and Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1466/97); the conclusion that, based on the assessment of reform policy commitments of Cyprus, Italy and Portugal, there is no need at this stage to step up the macroeconomic imbalance procedure, provided that the countries swiftly and fully implement the reforms set out in their country-specific recommendations.

The Commission will consider in May, taking into account the level of ambition of National Reform Programmes (NRPs) and other commitments presented by that date whether to recommend to the Council to adopt recommendations, pursuant to Article 7 (2) of Regulation 1176/2011, establishing the existence of an excessive imbalance and recommending that these Member States take corrective action to be set out in a Corrective Action Plan (CAP). o For Italy, imbalances remain excessive, requiring decisive policy and specific monitoring of the ...[+++]ongoing and planned reforms. o For Bulgaria and Portugal, in light of the situation, the Commission will carry out specific monitoring of the policies recommended by the Council.

As regards the question whether the procedure has been effective in identifying the relevant policy issues, contributed to deliver appropriate policy recommendations, and to their monitoring and had an impact on the policy debates in each Member State and in the EU as a whole, it needs to be pointed out that the Macroeconomic Imbalances Procedure, together with other elements of economic governance, has contributed to a shared understanding among Member States of their specific and common policy challenges and the policy response.

There has been a continuous debate between the Agency and its stakeholders regarding a role for the EEA in assessing policy options, evaluating the effectiveness of Community policy, and in drawing policy recommendations on the basis of these assessments.

(iii) Commission proposals for new guidelines and recommendations: On the basis of the Spring European Council political orientations, the Commission would present its proposals for further action in the various policy areas together in a Guidelines Package (which would include the Commission drafts for general and country-specific policy recommendations as contained in the BEPGs; the EGs; and the annual employment recommendations to Member States).

The BEPGs would, while covering the full range of relevant economic policies and providing both general and country-specific policy recommendations, become more strategic in character by focussing to a greater extent on key policy issues.
