Effective from 2010, reporting within the Stability and Growth Pact has been adapted to the European Semester; the aim is to strengthen the surveillance of economic policies. Consequently, the Convergence Programme and the national action programme are delivered each spring. This allows budgetary and structural policy to be assessed consistently and recommendations to be made to the Member States while their budget proposals are still in the preparatory phase.
Sweden's Convergence Programme for 2017 is based on the Spring Fiscal Policy Bill for 2017 , which the Government delivered to the Riksdag on 18 April 2017. The Parliamentary Committee on Finance was informed about the Convergence Programme on 25 April 2017. The Government approved the Convergence Programme on 27 April 2017.
The Parliamentary Committee on European Union Affairs were informed of the European Commission's proposals for country-specific recommendations in June 2016.
