In the 2015 annual growth survey, the Commission refers to how member states and national parliaments can increase their ownership of the process. This is important because the growth survey and other information on developments in the European semester refer to the European institutions and national governments. However, the joint committee could also be more involved in the process. Is that not the case? I am concerned that the committee could become a little detached from the process. Should it seek more resources and do more on this issue?
