The Lisbon Agenda: Capitalize on the achievements and how to shape European standardization for tomorrow

Hosted by the Malta Standards Authority (MSA)

The year 2010 will mark the end of a 10-year implementation period of the Lisbon Strategy. Its aim was to make the EU 'the most dynamic and competitive knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion, and respect for the environment by 2010'.

Standards are a proven business facilitator and standardization continues to increase consumer confidence, lower production costs, and otherwise supports the economy. The programme of the open session during the 6th CEN–CENELEC Annual Meeting  will look at various aspects of how the European Standardization System responded during the last decade to the Lisbon Agenda and how it expects to respond to EU2020, the next 10-year strategy for social and economic development.
