(3) The integrated guidelines are in line with the conclusions of the European Council. They give precise guidance to the Member States on defining their National Reform Programmes and implementing reforms, reflecting interdependence and in line with the Stability and Growth Pact. The employment guidelines should form the basis for any country-specific recommendations that the Council may address to the Member States under Article 148(4) of the TFEU, ion parallel withthe same footing as the country-specific recommendations addressed to the Member States under Article 121(2) of that Treaty. The employment guidelines should also form the basis for the establishment of the Joint Employment Report sent annually by the Council and the European Commission to the European Council. As a result, the European Semester should combine the different instruments in an overarching framework for integrated multilateral surveillance of economic, budgetary, employment and social policies in a framework of real and effective balance between economic policy and social and employment policies which should be given equal consideration so as to prevent economic and social imbalances, thus ensuring a fully coherent public policy.

Recital 4
(4) The examination of the Member States' National Reform Programmes contained in the Joint Employment Report shows that Member States should continue to make every effort to address the priority areas of increasing labour market participation and reducing structural unemployment, developing a skilled workforce responding to labour market needs and promoting job quality and lifelong learning, improve the performance of education and training systems at all levels and increasing participation in tertiary education, promoting social inclusion and combating poverty. The scoreboard of key employment and social indicators within the Joint Employment Report is a particularly useful tool, helping to detect key employment and social problems and divergences in a timely way and identify areas where policy response is most needed. However, further editions of the scoreboard should include also gender disaggregated data and more detailed indicators related to structural employment and social imbalances as the long-term unemployment rate among young people, the very long-term unemployment rate among adults (unemployed persons since 24 months or more) or the children at risk-of-poverty or social exclusion.

(5a) The Council, with its Decision (EU) 2015/1848 of 5 October 2015 on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States for 2015, chose to yet again obviate Parliament resolution shamefully, in a regrettable political position contrary to the letter and spirit of the Treaties, in disrespect to the direct representatives of the European citizens, undermining the interinstitutional cooperation and weakening confidence between them.
