The Regional Lisbon Index

In both 2007 and 2000, only one EU region reached the eight Lisbon targets included in the Lisbon Index. In 2007, it was the Finnish region Länsi-Suomi, while in 2000 it was the Swedish region Östra Mellansverige. Although both years saw only one region reaching all eight targets, EU regions did move closer to these.The Lisbon Index measures how far regions are from eight Lisbon targets for 2010. A region scores 100 if it has reached all eight targets, while the region farthest away from all eight targets scores 0.
