Conference: National Reforms for the Implementation of the Lisbon Strategy: Their Monitoring, Assessment and Impacts
Slovenia, Kranjska Gora, 14–16 June 2007
The Institute of Macroeconomic Analysis and Development (IMAD) and the Conference on Medium-Term Economic Assessment (C.M.T.E.A) decided to jointly host a conference on the implementation of the EU Growth and Jobs Strategy , known as the Lisbon Strategy.
Implementation of this strategy has proved to be challenging, as it involves wider political and economic dimensions. Our intention was to animate a debate about improvements in national economic reforms among the institutions in charge of their implementation and monitoring. The main topics included the monitoring and assessment of reforms, forecasting in circumstances of incomplete delivery of reforms, and European co-operation in this field.

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 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.
