commitments under EU/IMF financial assistance programmes. More information at: http://ec.europa.eu/europe<strong>2020</strong>/index_en.htm<br />

• Regional and local levels<br />
Depending on division of competencies, regional &<br />
local levels play important role in Europe <strong>2020</strong> areas<br />
(e.g. fiscal sustainability, employment policies, education, entrepreneurship, social<br />
inclusion, climate/energy)<br />
National reform programmes (NRPs) should therefore<br />
be developed in close partnership with all national,<br />
regional and local authorities, closely associating<br />
parliaments (Commission guidance)<br />

Good practices:<br />
• Regional and local levels<br />
• translation of targets at regional/local level<br />
• build on Europe <strong>2020</strong> flagship work at<br />
regional/local level<br />
• make use of EU funds<br />
• cooperate with central government to<br />
implement country recommendations<br />
• exchange practices on EU <strong>2020</strong> going local!<br />
