"The Spring European Council summit has been so dominated by Greece’s economic problems that, if conclusions had not been documented in writing after the meeting, many of us would not have even known that the Europe 2020 strategy and many other topics were discussed as well. However, this information has certainly not reached the European man in the street yet, who is under the impression that Greece completely dominated the whole spring summit. Without being cynical, we can say that this whole global crisis during the last two years has produced one cloud with a silver lining at European Community level: a strategy and future vision which will avert any huge economic slump in the future, set out a new direction for the EU27’s development and, by implication, make Europe more competitive. However, it is vital that the Spring Council’s noble conclusions on the Europe 2020 strategy go beyond good intentions. The European Union is a complex body, made up of distinct, individual countries which have been united institutionally. However, they respond in different measures to the guidelines set out by the European Union’s Council. Consequently, setting clear targets for each Member State would probably yield more results than leaving it to their discretion to take the necessary action to implement the strategy."@en1
