C(2016) 3647 final

Dear Presidents, dear Chairmen,

The Commission would like to thank the seventeen chambers that are signatories for

their Opinion containing an overview of the chambers' priorities with regards to the

initiatives in the Commission Work Programme for 2016 {COM(2015) 610 final}.

In this Work Programme, the second of the current mandate, the Commission reaffirms

its commitment to delivering on the big issues where Europeans expect the Union to act:

this is indeed no time for business as usual. The Commission remains committed to doing

different things, and to doing them differently.

The Work Programme is anchored in the ten political priorities of the Commission and

takes forward several key strategies from the 2015 Work Programme, including the

Digital Single Market Strategy, the Energy Union, the Labour Mobility Package, the

European Agenda on Migration, the Capitals Markets Union, the Action Plan for Fair

and Efficient Corporate Taxation, the new Trade Strategy and our proposals to deepen

and strengthen the Economic and Monetary Union.

As was the case last year, this Work Programme prioritises actions under the Regulatory

Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT) ensuring that EU legislation remains fit

for purpose and delivers the results intended. The Commission has taken note and

welcomes the priorities that several chambers have identified in this regard.

Deepening the Commission's constructive relations with national Parliaments remains a

priority for this Commission and we are looking forward to continuing our political

dialogue.

Yours faithfully,

Frans Timmermans

First Vice-President
