REPORT
from :Presidencyto :European Council (Thessaloniki, 19/20 June 2003)Subject :Progress
towards fulfilling the remits adopted by the 2003 Spring European Council (Brussels,
19/20 March 2003)
At its meeting in Lisbon in March 2000, the European Council adopted a strategy intended
to enable the Union to become, by 2010, the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-
based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better
jobs and greater social cohesion.
Heads of State or Government again took stock of progress towards implementing this
strategy, as developed at subsequent European Councils, at their meeting in Brussels in
March 2003 and, in this connection, agreed a number of specific measures intended to
achieve the objectives of the strategy.
This report seeks to provide a brief, factual overview of the extent to which the remits issued
by the 2003 Spring European Council have been fulfilled. It focuses in the main on the
remits for the Council for which the deadline was either the end of the year or earlier, or, in
a number of selected cases, Spring 2004. The remits are arranged in the order in which they
appear in the Presidency conclusions of the 2003 Spring European Council. The survey leads
the Presidency to the view that the period since Brussels has seen several important
successes but has also revealed the need for the rate of progress to be maintained or even
accelerated on some issues.
