1 Lecture 3 The Lisbon Strategy Outline The Lisbon European Council held in March 2000 recognized the need of reforming labour,, product, and financial markets in order the performance of the EU economy to be improved. To this end, the EU set for itself the objective to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion by the year Overall, the Lisbon strategy was expressed in the following five dimensions: employment, innovation and research, structural economic reforms, social cohesion, and environment. 1

2 Outline (cont.) On the basis of the suggestions contained in the so-called Kok Report,, the spring European Council meeting in 2005 decided to simplify and relaunch the Lisbon strategy, refocusing on growth and employment. Indeed, the European Commission issued a Community Lisbon Programme of joint action at EU level. The new Lisbon Strategy was characterised by clearer objectives and better assignment of competences and responsibilities in accordance with the partnership principle. The T meeting of the European Council in spring 2006 confirmed its commitment to the new Lisbon Strategy, and adopted measures in four priority areas: research and development and innovation, development of a competitive economy, modernisation of the social model, energy and climate change. 2
