http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STAT-13-157_en.htm?locale=en

 

 

Smarter, greener, more inclusive? — Indicators to support the Europe 2020 strategy is the first of a new type of Eurostat flagship publication providing statistical analyses related to important European Commission policy frameworks or economic, social or environmental phenomena. It provides statistical support for the Europe 2020 strategy and backs up the monitoring of its five headline targets. The analysis in this publication is based on the Europe 2020 headline indicators chosen to monitor the strategy’s targets. Other indicators focusing on subgroups of society or on related issues showing underlying trends help deepen the analysis and present a broader picture. The publication presents official statistics produced by the European Statistical System and disseminated by Eurostat. They cover the period from 2000 or 2005 up to the most recent year for which data are available (2011 or 2012).
