Lisbon Strategy for Jobs and Growth: UK national reform programme 2009

The UK's National Reform Programme (NRP) 2009, published in October 2009, responds to the recommendations the European Council agreed in March 2009 for the UK on fiscal sustainability and skills and employment, and the Council's points to watch for the UK on housing supply and R&D. The NRP 2009 also reports on UK progress in the areas of the business environment and climate change, energy policy, and sustainable development, which were re-emphasised by the European Council in March 2008 as priority areas over the 2008-10 cycle of the Lisbon Strategy. Reporting is in the context of the current downturn and medium-term reform measures, in line with the European Economic Recovery Plan (EERP). The NRP reports on policies developed and implemented by central government and the Devolved Administrations of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
