The Economic Forum’s debate: EU 2020 for CEE: a Catalyst to Empower the CEE Region? Between Reality and Wishful Thinking
"Despite the EU's goal of driving cohesion across the Union, the CEE region still lags behind the older member states in terms of its growth and infrastructural development.
How can the region harmonize the national reform programs to allow it to leapfrog in pressing areas like healthcare and energy and contribute, and thus to contribute to the common EU 2020 goals?
How can innovation and investment in sustainable sectors drive employment and competitiveness? How can cross-country collaboration, dialogue among the public, business and NGO sectors and best practice sharing speed up the change?" [forum-ekonomiczne.pl]
