Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of civil monitoring of basic documents (Annual Growth Survey, Country Specific Recommendations, and National Reform Programmes) of the EU annual political cycle (European Semester). The period of monitoring includes the last two years of the European Commission chaired by Jose Manuel Baroso. The monitoring identifies signs of intentional cognitive distortions in the elaboration of the documents and, as a consequence, the appearance of a new informal layer of policies whose aims do not coincide with the publicly announced aims of the Semester.
