Economic Policy Committee

The Economic Policy Committee (EPC) was set up by a Council decision in 1974 to provide advice and to contribute to the work of the ECOFIN Council and the European Commission.

The core business of the Committee is structured around (1) an economic policy pillar, which essentially refers to the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs, and (2) a public finance pillar, where the EPC has particular responsibilities regarding quality and sustainability.
