Economic growth and competitiveness are still the foundation of negotiations because the crisis in the euro zone remains fresh for the eyes of Europeans. However, the data from the European Commission shows a positive advance in the EU's economic growth in 2016

In some countries, such as Malta, Luxembourg, Poland, growth rates of 3-4% are anticipated.
The overall situation is promising and most countries in the EU are expected to experience positive growth. Although only the Greek economy is expected to shrink, the outlook for Finland is only 0.5% of growth.
