It addresses the priorities of the strategic project set out in the European Commission 2020, based on three mutually reinforcing pillars: Smart Growth, developing an economy based on knowledge and innovation; Sustainable Growth, promoting an economy that makes more efficient use of resources, is greener and more competitive; and Inclusive Growth, fostering an economy with a high level of employment that has social and territorial cohesion. It also focuses on the main objectives to be achieved: 75% of the population aged 20-64 should be employed, 3% of the EU's GDP should be invested in R&D, the "20/20/20" climate and energy target should be reached (including an increase to 30% reduction in emissions if conditions allow), the early school leaving rate should be below 10%, at least 40% of the younger generation should have completed higher education, and the risk of poverty should threaten 20 million fewer people.
