Europe 2020 is a new strategy for the EU to develop as a smarter, knowledge based, greener economy, delivering high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion. It is being designed as the successor to the Lisbon Strategy.
Statistics is integral part of the Europe 2020 strategy. The headline indicators measure the progress made by the EU and the Member States towards achieving the 5 headline targets of the strategy. The additional indicators show in more detail the developments with regard to the main objectives and flagship initiatives of the strategy.
Europe 2020 indicators are an input into the annual European Economic Policies Report by the Commission.
