Memo: European Commission: building blocks towards economic growth

On 28-29 June 2012, EU leaders came together at the European Council to agree on a comprehensive package of measures to boost growth and jobs in the European Union, a "Compact for Growth And Jobs".

This package builds on significant measures taken by the European Commission in recent years. Since the launch of the Europe 2020 Strategy the Commission has introduced a number of initiatives to help overcome the crisis, kick-start growth and create more and better jobs in the EU. At this defining moment for European integration, it is time to step up a gear in creating a smart, sustainable and inclusive EU economy.
