Romania’s goal within Europe’s 2020 strategy

Abstract

This paper analyzes the targets of the Romanian state according to Europe’s 2020 Strategy. Being a new Member State, Romania’s targets for 2020 are lower than those of the older members. Even like this, using Eurostat indicators and the Report of the World Economic Forum, our purpose is to present a comprehensive view of these differences in target levels and to explain why Romania can’t catch up with its older counterparts until 2020.
