“…Most of them are focused on the effects at the EU level (before all macroeconomic effects) of the Strategy implementation [9][10][11]. Some authors [12] have analyzed the level of fulfillment and its aims with special concentration on the diversity between the New Member States that joined the European Union in 2004 and 2007 (EU-10) and the Old European Union Members (EU-15).…”

Abstract:The Europe 2020 strategy is the EU strategy for sustainable and inclusive growth, for fighting the structural weaknesses of the European economies, and for improving their competitiveness. In this paper, we determined the most important ratios of the Europe 2020 Strategy impacting on economic performance expressed as the growth of the GDP per capita, and on economic competitiveness expressed as the share of the countries' exports in total world exports for some selected Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries (Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Romania) using co-integration tests and OLS panel estimations with a dataset between 2004 (after four of these selected countries acceded to EU) and 2015 (the latest available data for all the ratios we used in our analysis). Our findings show that the tertiary level of education is the most important factor, positively correlated with both endogenous variables mentioned above. Other important factors for achieving the economic performance and competitiveness goals are the school dropout ratio, the share of renewable energy in final energy consumption, and the employment rate.

“…Also, EU statistics [21] show large differences between countries in meeting the targets of the Europe 2020 Strategy [2] in terms of employment, research and development, climate change and energy, education, poverty, and social exclusion; while some EU member states moved toward the targets, others moved away from them. Taking into account that the new member states of the European Union, especially central and eastern European (CEE) countries, was lagging behind the old member states (EU-15) in their inclusive and sustainable development and competitiveness [21,[23][24][25], we consider that more attention needs to be paid to improve productive employment as a key precondition for achieving economic, social, and territorial cohesion at the EU level in order to reduce disparities between individual member states and to ensure a high level of inclusive and sustainable development in all countries of the EU.…”

It is widely recognized that achieving highly productive employment is a serious challenge facing inclusive and sustainable development. In this context, the aim of this article was to highlight the main characteristics and mechanisms of productive employment, focusing on the interrelationships between productive employment, and inclusive and sustainable development in European Union countries, during the recent economic crisis and recovery period (2007–2016). The results of the correlation and regression analysis suggest that the high level of inclusive and sustainable development in some European Union countries can be mainly explained by high labor productivity, an efficient sectoral structure of employment, a low level of vulnerable and precarious employment, and low working poverty. Moreover, the results of the principal component analysis and cluster analysis show that there are common features and differences between the European Union member states in terms of their interrelationship between productive employment, and inclusive and sustainable development, which emphasizes the need to take specific actions to transform unproductive employment into productive employment, especially in southern countries and some central and eastern European countries, so that productive employment will be the driving force for development.

“…All sources of the EU law should be in line with the set strategy and implement it, i.e. they need to reflect Europe 2020 as a product of the European Commission influenced by both formal and informal institutions (Pasimeni & Pasimeni 2016) and shaped as a policy for the economic dominance of the EU on the global market (Stec & Grzebyk 2017). This overambitious attitude partially misses appropriate competencies (Erixon 2010) and might even lead to the increase of differences between EU member states (Çolak & Ege 2013), both on a macro-economic level (Lajtkepova 2016 & Balcerzak 2016b) and micro-economic level.…”

The EU ten years long strategy, Europe 2020, is coming up to its final assessment, including the interplay of both the competition and consumer protection in the internal single market. The pivotal legislative instrument in this respect, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive ("UCPD"), was enacted even before Europe 2020 and was supposed to lead to a full harmonization of the protection against unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices, regardless whether misleading or aggressive, by the year 2007. The judiciary answer whether this has been achieved and supports the EU is to be learned from the competent court-Court of Justice of EU. A deep research is performed to provide data for a holistic Meta-Analysis which comparatively and critically assesses this strong, but not yet fully settled, case law consisting of almost 100 UCPD cases, and to expose it to the legislative wording, official EU statements and academic press. The key hypothesis suggests that the study of this case law in the light of the legislative wording, along with the official opinions of the EU and academic literature, provides valuable insights and suggestions about the status quo of achievements of the UCPD and Europe 2020 as well as the commitment of the EU and the attitude of the ultimate stakeholders, Europeans.
