Forwarding the economic and social progress has been and still is a key target of the European policies. In March 2010 the European Commission launched the 2020 Strategy for a smart, sustainable growth and favorable to inclusion that would continue the Lisbon strategy from 2000. The objective is to overcome the effects of financial and economic crisis from 2008 and prepare the EU economy for the next decade.
