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
sustainable use of resources that makes efficient,
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 6
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
:
R&D/innovation
:
at least 75% of 20-64 year-olds employed 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 8

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
