Re: Lisbon agenda good news (none / 0)

Was the Lisbon agenda not more about improving the competitiveness of the EU relative to the rest of the world? Should the scorecard not therefor compare the EU with other external competitors - US/China?India/Russia etc.? I appreciate this does not attempt to be a full measure of development - unlike the Human Development Index - but how measurable where the s called Lisbon agenda items in any case?

There's a bit of info in the pamphlet but not a lot; I too had expected a more comprehensive and comparative scorecard but the CER devoted their report on comparing the member states' overall progress and "failings" over a two year period, i.e., 2006-2007.

That said, I found the report rather comprehensive and easy to read; includes a number of recommendations too in areas/sectors where the CER felt member-states were lagging. Overall, it gives a pretty good eyeview for those who are interested in keeping pace with what's going on in the EU
