Directorate-General for Structural Reform Support
The Structural Reform Support Service (SRSS) is a European Union institution that assists EU member states in the implementation of technical and structural reforms.[1]
History
The SRSS was created as a replacement for multiple different temporary Task Forces established where there was a need to do so; instead, the expertise would be centralised in a single organisational unit.[1] It was initially headed by Maarten Verwey.[2]
Operations
In 2018, the Irish government sought out assistance from the SRSS with regard to university funding. Ministers from the government described the SRSS as offering a "comprehensive examination".[3] During the same year, the SRSS, jointly with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, released a report on economic development in Estonia. Focusing particularly on the financial technology industry, the report found "good conditions" for development of capital markets in the country.[4]
