The so-called Lisbon Strategy for growth and competitiveness was adopted by the European Council in 2000 and 2005. Many reforms and measures needed for its implementation are within the responsibility of Member States, whose national governments have defined various action plans to implement the Lisbon Strategy. In 2010, as Lisbon Strategy is reaching its end, an important aspect is to evaluate to what extent the measures adopted for the public administrations area contribute to the realization of Lisbon Strategy goals.
