Today 9 January the Irish government published its programme for its six month in the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union which started on 1 January, declaring its intention of focusing on stability, jobs and growth.
Priorities were chosen on the basis of the current agenda of EU legislation and initiatives. They include, among other things:
- lasting stability, beginning with the renewal of economic governance in Europe
- putting a spotlight on youth unemployment
- legislation to promote the digital economy and measures aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises
- a focus on the potential of natural resources, on land as well as at sea
- the promotion of trade agreements and the pursuit of the enlargement agenda.
At this stage, there are no announcements about the future of smart regulation as a tool to contribute to these goals, but do watch this space for developments.
