It also contains chapters on the performance of the EU health sector, the European automotive sector and challenges stemming from China's rising economy. The report states that 'the public sector matters in productivity growth and, therefore, it is important to consider the influence of its structure, size, strategy, quality and the efficiency of its activities that impinge upon decision to produce, work, modernize and innovate in the EU.'
