The European Commission is expected to find that the macro-economic deficits observed in France are no longer excessive. This decision will be announced to coincide with the publication, on Wednesday 7 March, of the country-by-country reports in the context of the European Semester budgetary process for 2018.
More specifically, this procedure will mean a slightly lower level of supervision for the French economy by the institution, along the lines of that currently in place for Germany.
