Background
• Global
competitiveness,
• growth and jobs

Smart Growth
Smart growth means improving the EU's performance in:
•education (encouraging people to learn, study and update their skills)
•research/innovation (creating new products/services that generate growth
•and jobs and help address social challenges)
•digital society (using information and communication technologies)
Flagship initiatives:
• Digital Agenda for Europe
•
•
•
•
Creating a single digital market based on fast/ultrafast internet and
interoperable applications:
by 2013: broadband access for all
by 2020: access for all to much higher internet speeds (30 Mbps or above)
by 2020: 50% or more of European households with internet connections
above 100 Mbps.
2. Innovation Union
•
•
refocusing R&D and innovation policy on major challenges for our society like climate
change, energy and resource efficiency, health and demographic change
strengthening every link in the innovation chain, from 'blue sky' research to
commercialisation
3. Youth on the move
•
•
•
•
helping students and trainees study abroad
equipping young people better for the job market
enhancing the performance/international attractiveness of Europe's universities
improving all levels of education and training (academic excellence, equal opportunities)

Sustainable Growth
Sustainable growth means:
 building a more competitive low-carbon economy that makes efficient,
sustainable use of resources
 protecting the environment, reducing emissions and preventing biodiversity loss
 capitalising on Europe's leadership in developing new green technologies and
production methods
 introducing efficient smart electricity grids
 harnessing EU-scale networks to give our businesses (especially small
manufacturing firms) an additional competitive advantage
 improving the business environment, in particular for SMEs
 helping consumers make well-informed choices.
Flagship initiatives:
 Resource-efficient Europe
 Industrial policy for the globalisation era
5
Inclusive Growth
Inclusive growth means:
 raising Europe’s employment rate – more and better jobs, especially for
women, young people and older workers
 helping people of all ages anticipate and manage change through
investment in skills & training
 modernising labour markets and welfare systems
 ensuring the benefits of growth reach all parts of the EU
Flagship initiatives:
 Agenda for new skills and jobs
 European platform against poverty

Economic Governance
The crisis exposed fundamental problems and unsustainable trends in
many European countries. It also made clear just how interdependent the
EU's economies are. Greater economic policy coordination across the EU
will help us to address these problems and boost growth and job creation
in future.
The new EU economic governance is based on three main blocks:
 A reinforced economic agenda with closer EU surveillance. This includes
agreed policy priorities and targets as part of the Europe 2020 strategy; additional
commitments taken by Member States participating in the Euro Plus Pact; tighter
EU surveillance of economic and fiscal policies as part of the Stability and Growth
Pact and through new tools to tackle macro-economic imbalances; and a new
working method – the European semester – to discuss economic and budgetary
priorities at the same time every year.
 Action to safeguard the stability of the euro area. In 2010, the EU responded
to the sovereign debt crisis by setting up temporary support mechanisms for its
Member States, which will be replaced by the permanent European Stability
Mechanism (ESM) in 2013. These support measures are conditional on rigorous
fiscal consolidation and reform programmes, and are developed in close cooperation
with the IMF.

 Action to repair the financial sector.
Europe 2020 - Targets
 Five EU targets for 2020
 Employment:
at least 75% of 20-64 year-olds employed
 R&D/innovation:
3% of the EU’s GDP invested in R&D/innovation
 Climate change/energy: greenhouse gas emissions 20% lower than in 1990
(or 30% if conditions are right); 20% of energy from
renewable sources; 20% increase in energy
efficiency
 Education:
reduce school drop-out rates to below 10%; at least
40% of 30-34-year-olds completing third level
education
 Poverty/social exclusion: at least 20 million fewer people in or at risk of
poverty and social exclusion

Seven Flagship Initiatives to Boost a Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth
1 Digital agenda for Europe: creating sustainable economic and social benefits from a
digital single market based on fast, secure internet and interoperable applications.
2 Innovation Union: turning ideas into jobs, green growth and social progress with
action to support innovation and innovative businesses
3 Youth on the move: mobility programmes offering young Europeans the opportunity
to study, train, work or start a business in another EU country
4 Resource efficient Europe: supporting the shift towards a resource-efficient,
low-carbon economy that offers opportunities for sustainable growth
5 An industrial policy for the globalisation era: maintaining and supporting a strong,
diversified and competitive industrial base in Europe, offering well-paid jobs in a less
carbon intensive economy
6 An agenda for new skills and jobs: concrete actions to improve flexibility and
security in the job market, ensure people have the right skills for today’s jobs,
improve the quality of jobs and the conditions for job creation
7 European platform against poverty: coordinating national actions by identifying best
practices and promoting learning, establishing EU-wide rules and making funding
available

Progress
 EU27 employment rate at 68.5% in 2012 (68.4% for EU28)
 Share of GDP spent on R&D in the EU27 at 2.06% in 2012
 Three headline indicators on climate change and energy
Greenhouse gas emissions have decreased steadily since 1990, with a sharp drop in the
period 2008 to 2010, a period corresponding to the economic crisis.
The share of renewable energy use in gross final energy consumption has grown steadily
from 8.1% in 2004 to 13% in 2011.
The primary energy consumption fluctuated from 1 560 mTOE in 1990 to 1 650 mTOE in
2010 and 1 583 mTOE in 2011

Proportion of early school leavers in the EU27 at 12.8% in 2012
 The number of persons at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the
EU27 at 24.8% in 2012
