Лисабонската стратегия: приоритети за 2006

EurActive припомня последните развития след междинния доклад от Съвета през март 2005:

  • On 12 April 2005, the Commission presented “integrated guidelines” for growth and jobs for the period 2005-2008. These guidelines serve as the basis for the national action plans that the member states will have to present in the autumn of 2005.
  • On 29 April 2005, the Commission presented a working paper with guidance for the member states in terms of structure and content of their action plans;
  • On 20 July 2005, the Commission presented a Community Lisbon Programme with actions needed at EU level;
  • On 29 November 2005, six weeks after the 15 October 2005 deadline, the Commission announced that it has received all but two national action plans;
  • In January 2006, the Commission published an Annual Progress Report assessing the national action plans . It may result in amendments to the draft Integrated Guidelines published in April 2005.
  • At the March 23-24 2006 Spring Council, the Commission expects clear commitments, e.g. from those member states which are not meeting the Lisbon target of 3% of GNP, of sums to be spent on research and development.
  • Governments are expected to report on the implementation of their NRPs by October 2006.
