"Various aspects of the Lisbon Strategy in which there was little success can be identified. Few of the established objectives were achieved, owing to various factors: amongst others, the lack of political will and of instruments – not least financial ones. Local and regional authorities have also been pointing out that they were not involved enough, in either defining or implementing the strategy, and that European and national objectives did not match up well. All this tarred the Lisbon Strategy’s programme with a credibility deficit, which is also a result of the fact that, while it was defined in great detail, the way in which it was executed was not responsible enough. At a time of economic uncertainty, fragile public finances and high unemployment, the new 2020 strategy must be seen as an opportunity for reflection on the direction that the public wants for the European Union. Nevertheless, it will be difficult to all be headed in the same direction while the Member States and their regions – particularly the outermost regions – remain as unequal as they currently are. Perhaps it is also time for us to develop new types of economic, financial and even budgetary links, particularly in the euro area. I am convinced that such links can make a decisive contribution to achieving the goals that are currently being set, particularly those relating to territorial cohesion."@en1
