South-East Europe 2020 strategy Marius Andersen, Eurostat
Outline • South-East Europe (SEE) 2020 strategy– strategy and indicators • IPA 2014-2020 • Discussion questions
Introduction • Eurostat receives requests for data on the enlargement countries to be used as targets and performance indicators in planned assistance programmes • The current work on indicators rose from a wish to measure the impact of the assistance as well as the performance of the beneficiaries. • South-East Europe (SEE) 2020 strategy– strategy and indicators • IPA 2014-2020
SEE2020 strategy - growth pillars • Integrated growth • Smart growth • Sustainable growth • Inclusive growth • Governance for growth
SEE2020 strategy – Headline targets [1]Target set forth by the Regional Energy Strategy to be achieved by 2018
Next Generation Competitiveness Initiative (NGCI) • The (NGCI), a joint European Commission/OECD project, is planned to support the SEE2020 strategy with two main objectives • Identify possible regional sectors for support through analysis of sectors that may be subject to constraints limiting the competitiveness. In a later stage, this component aims to enhance the competitiveness of such identified sectors. • Monitor the implementation of the SEE2020 strategy using a number of indicators, to a large degree based on European statistics
IPA 2014-2020 • The European Commission is preparing the next round of IPA for the period 2014-2020 • DG Enlargement lead the work with identifying indicators to monitor the results of the assistance in all areas of assistance, not just statistics • Macro level indicators • A Specific set of indicators specific to each sector of assistance
Summary • A more result oriented focus of the assistance • Positive signal representing an increased interest in statistics for the enlargement countries • Involvement of statistical offices in indicator design essential • Quality assurance • Large number of indicators, over diverse statistical areas • Increased data collection for monitoring purposes • There is a risk that the monitoring of the strategies could be to extensive.
Discussion questions • What are the reactions to the increased focus on measuring effect of assistance programmes? • What are fitting indicators for measuring the impact of the assistance programmes and general progress? • How do the NSIs assess the added burden of developing and reporting on the indicators? • SEE2020 strategy: Could the SEE2020 headline targets be harmonized with the EU2020 indicators, and if so for which pillars? Or is it more suitable to have a different set of headline targets for this strategy?
