Partnership for Growth and Jobs well on track

The European Commission has informed ministers of the Competitiveness Council on 29 November 2005 that it has received the growth and jobs national reform programmes (NRPs) from all EU Member States except Poland and Germany, where new governments have just taken office.

The Commission has already started to assess the programmes and will table a report in January 2006, which will subsequently go to the March European Council. Most national reform programmes are available online.
