In July 2020, the Council of the European Union (EU) adopted its European Semester 2020: country-specific recommendations (CRS) on economic, employment, and fiscal policies in the short and medium-term.

For instance, in the short term, and heavily focused on mitigating the pandemic's consequences, the country-specific recommendations, include, among others:

• investing in access, effectiveness, and the resilience of health care;
• preserving employment, and address the social impact of the crisis;
• focus on research and development.
