Lisbon Agenda Implementation: the Example of Slovenia The Reform Programme for Achieving the Lisbon Strategy Goals is the government's response to these challenges, setting out measures aimed at stimulating the economy's restructuring and liberalising the economy even further, and measures aimed at boosting economic growth and employment. By the end of 2005, the NRP was publicly debated in the National Assembly and in the Economic and Social Council. In 2006 Slovenia will present its first progress report of the reform programme which will show if the reforms and measures are on the right track. Approach to the Lisbon Strategy in Slovenia Slovenia's Development Strategy The answers to questions concerning Slovenian development and the Lisbon Strategy have been provided by Slovenia's Development Strategy, a document adopted by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia in June 2005, setting out the vision and priorities of Slovenia's development. At the forefront of the new strategy is the overall welfare of each individual. Slovenia's Development Strategy therefore focuses not only on economic issues but also on social, environmental, political, legal and cultural matters. Due to such a prioritisation of objectives, Slovenia's Development Strategy also serves as Slovenia's strategy for sustainable development. At the same time, it integrates the Lisbon goals within the national setting, bearing in mind Slovenia's specific development opportunities and setbacks. Slovenia's Development Strategy was adopted on the basis of a broad consensus and comprehensive public debate that involved public stakeholders. In 2005, several public discussions on the draft of Slovenia's Development Strategy were organised within individual organisations(consultations held by the President of the Republic, the Sustainable Development Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Chamber of Crafts, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, non-governmental and regional organisations). The main objectives of Slovenia's Development Strategy are the following: to exceed the average level of the EU's economic development(measured as GDP per capita in PPP) and increase employment in line with the Lisbon Strategy goals in the next ten years; to improve the quality of living and the welfare of each individual, measured by the indicators of human development, health, social risks and social cohesion; 101
