The European Commission recommends evaluations of the economic plans of member states. The Council then provides final text. Previous research suggests that the Council selectively edits the Commission's recommendations. Both large member states and those with eurosceptic populations are likely to have the Council weaken what the Commission writes about them. We examine the determinants of the Council's editing of these texts after the introduction of the European Semester in the period 2011–18. We also account for different varieties of euroscepticism as the literature has become more differentiated. Using metrics of textual changes based on automated and hand-coding, we find little evidence of a systematic relationship between euroscepticism and textual editing. We do, however, find evidence that member state's voting power and euro status matters. Our findings suggest that eurosceptic no longer affects textual editing of such documents under the European Semester.

欧洲学期委员会的理事会检查：成员国权力和欧洲怀疑论仍然重要吗？*

欧盟委员会建议对成员国的经济计划进行评估。然后理事会提供最终文本。先前的研究表明，理事会选择性地编辑委员会的建议。大成员国和那些有欧洲怀疑论者的国家都可能让理事会削弱委员会对他们的描述。我们研究了在 2011-18 年期间引入欧洲学期后理事会编辑这些文本的决定因素。随着文献变得更加分化，我们还考虑了不同种类的欧洲怀疑主义。使用基于自动和手动编码的文本更改指标，我们几乎没有发现欧洲怀疑主义和文本编辑之间存在系统关系的证据。然而，我们确实找到了证据表明成员国“ 投票权和欧元地位很重要。我们的研究结果表明，疑欧派不再影响欧洲学期此类文件的文本编辑。
