Reform Programme for Achieving the Lisbon Strategy Goals
EU membership placed Slovenia within a new institutional and development framework, which has fundamentally changed the conditions and modes of national development. Slovenia as an EU member has had to reconsider its strategic position within a broader global framework. It has had to look for ways to achieve its national objectives in a sustainable way and in line with the common European rules, policies and strategies, and above all with the reformed Lisbon Strategy.
Slovenia and other EU countries have been faced with the challenges of speeding up economic development, ensuring higher employment and social security, improving the environment, preserving nature and using the natural resources in a sustainable way. The Reform Programme for Achieving the Lisbon Strategy Goals is the Slovenian Government's response to these challenges, providing measures to stimulate the restructuring of the economy and to liberalise it still further, along with measures to boost economic growth and employment.

Slovenia's Development Strategy
Slovenia's Development Strategy (SDS) sets out the vision and objectives of Slovenia's development, including five development priorities with corresponding action plans: (i) a competitive economy and faster economic growth; (ii) efficient creation, two-way flow and use of knowledge for economic development and high-quality jobs; (iii) efficient and cheaper government; (iv) modern welfare state and higher employment; and (v) integration of measures to achieve sustainable development.
At the forefront of the new Strategy is the overall welfare of each individual. Therefore, the strategy does not focus solely on economic questions but also extends to social, environmental, political, legal and cultural issues.

Strategy for the Economic Development of Slovenia 2001–2006
The Strategy's main goal was to increase the welfare of people living in Slovenia in a sustainable manner. Welfare was defined as a balance between its economic, social and environmental components. Thus, welfare as an objective also incorporated non-material components such as personal development and self-realisation, social integration and security, co-operation, and development of individual and cultural identity.
In the field of economic development, the Strategy's expected overall result was to raise GDP growth rates and thus accelerate the reduction of the development lag behind the EU. However, this had to be achieved without widening the gaps in the areas of social and environmental development, which were somewhat narrower.
The Strategy included a system of indicators used to monitor and evaluate its implementation. The set of indicators was prepared parallel to the Strategy and served as a basis for annual implementation reports.
