Lisbon Agenda

In early February 2005, Jose Manuel Barroso relaunched the Lisbon Agenda, the EU s 10-year programme to enhance European competitiveness and economic growth, with an emphasis on REACH. 

Moving towards activation was also part of the third way policies implemented mainly by reform-oriented Social Democratic governments in Europe, in particular in the UK, Germany and the Scandinavian countries in the second half of the 1990s, which, in turn, also inspired the formulation of the EES and the Lisbon agenda (Green-Pedersen et al. 2001 Giddens 1998).
