Reports prepared by DG ECFIN on the economic situation and economic developments to underpin economic policymaking by the European Commission, the Council of the EU, and the European Parliament. The “European Economic Forecasts” and the “Quarterly Report on the Euro Area” are part of this series.

These papers are written by the staff of DG ECFIN, or by experts working in association with them, to inform the discussion on economic policy and to stimulate debate. They provide for more extensive discussion of a new or open policy issue and may often aim a more technical readership.

These papers are short and concise presentations or analyses of a topical policy item, sometimes in connection to a specific country or a group of countries. They inform discussion and aim to stimulate debate.

In this series, DG ECFIN staff reports on recent developments and indicators. The series comprises the “EU Candidate Countries’ and Potential Candidates’ Economic Quarterly” and “European Business Cycle Indicators”.

In this series, a euro area map, a booklet, and a poster leaflet give a broad overview and illustrate key milestones of the Economic and Monetary Union, the euro area and the euro.

These off-series publications are reports on specific topics, and compendia bringing together core legal texts on the Economic and Monetary Union and the euro.
