The Common Agricultural Policy after 2013

Multiannual Financial Framework

Europe 2020

Europe 2020 is the EU's growth strategy for the coming decade. In a changing world, we want the EU to become a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy. These three mutually reinforcing priorities should help the EU and the Member States deliver high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion.

Concretely, the Union has set five ambitious objectives - on employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate/energy - to be reached by 2020. Each Member State will adopt its own national targets in each of these areas. Concrete actions at EU and national levels will underpin the strategy.

For more information, visit the Europe 2020 website

For more information on any of the policies above, or any other policy of interest, please contact the European Commission Office in Wales on 029 2089 5020.
