"The presentation of the Annual Growth Survey 2012 by the Commission lays some excellent foundations for the European Semester. We need to give priority to fighting unemployment, fiscal consolidation, promoting sustainable growth by increasing competitiveness and investment, and modernising the EU’s public administrations. Immediate action is needed to support businesses and employment over the medium term: at least 17.6 million people will need to find a job if we are to achieve the EU 2020 objectives. The Member States must do their best to correct their deficits within the deadlines set by the Council, bringing them to sustainable levels. Many sectors need deep structural reforms, including labour, pensions, welfare and combating tax evasion. These reforms will have to be implemented through a coordinated approach that also adapts to the specific needs of the Member States. Lastly, I really must point out that Parliament has to be given a leading role in defining the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines and the Annual Growth Survey, which must be achieved through a codecision procedure and not merely a consultative role."@en1
