Improving the Pro-Business Environment
Promoting economic growth, job creation, innovation and productivity - the "Lisbon Agenda" - is the key to overcoming unemployment and income disparity. Countries close to EU accession can use the "Lisbon Agenda" to create conditions for strong economic growth and competitiveness. This includes effective and compatible structures for regulatory impact assessment that can lead to improved application of commercial and financial laws, promotion of the Lisbon Agenda competitiveness goals and mechanisms, policies and skills to facilitate economic development.
