Abstract

Die Grundzüge der Wirtschaftspolitik der Europäischen Union sind seit dem Jahr 1993 ein konstanter Parameter zur Koordinierung der Wirtschafts- und Haushaltspolitik der EU-Mitgliedstaaten. Aus ihnen werden wirtschaftspolitische Prioritäten für die einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten abgeleitet und in Form länderspezifischer Empfehlungen an jedes EU-Mitglied gerichtet. An Österreich werden vor allem Empfehlungen zur Senkung der Steuerlast auf Arbeit, zur Sicherstellung der langfristigen Tragfähigkeit des Pensionssystems, zur Verbesserung des Bildungssystems und der Anreizsysteme am Arbeitsmarkt sowie zur Erhöhung des Wettbewerbs (z. B. im Dienstleistungsbereich) gerichtet. Da die Umsetzung der länderspezifischen Empfehlungen durch die EU-Mitgliedstaaten rechtlich nicht bindend ist, erfolgt deren Umsetzung oftmals nur in geringem Maße. Seit Beginn des Europäischen Semesters 2011 wurden in Österreich nur 5 % (EU 9 %) der Empfehlungen vollständig umgesetzt, während bei 9 % noch keine Umsetzungsfortschritte gemacht wurden (EU: 5 %). Generell hoch ist die Umsetzung im Finanzsektor, wo der Marktdruck stark auf das politische Handeln Einfluss nimmt. Ähnliches gilt auch bei hohen Leistungsbilanz- und Budgetdefiziten, wo der resultierende Druck am Finanzmarkt ein Treiber für Reformen ist.
