Hrvoje Butković 2005. They were written annually by the member states to the Commission and they were developed as part of the European Employment Strategy(EES)- the employment pillar of the Lisbon Strategy. The NAPs for employment ware detailed plans covering over 20 employment guidelines(EGs) grouped under four pillars: employability, entrepreneurship, adaptability and equal opportunities. Alongside the NAPs for employment in 2001, member states started publishing the NAPs for inclusion. Unlike the NAPs for employment, the NAPs for inclusion ware based on very broad general objectives. They were published biannually(2001-2003; 2003-2005) with the intention to develop common indicators. The NAPs for inclusion appeared in wide diversity both in form and in degree of compliance with European priorities; they were not formally part of the European Employment Strategy(EES). The relaunch of the Lisbon Strategy in 2005 revoked both the NAPs for employment and the NAPs for inclusion. The NAPs for employment ware replaced with National Reform Programmes(NRPs) covering both employment and economic measures(see the National Reform Programmes). National Reform Programmes(NRPs) The National Reform Programmes(NRPs) are major reporting tools on economic and employment measures for achievement of the Lisbon Strategy goals by the member states. Together with the Community Lisbon Programme (CLP) they are among the key instruments of the revised Lisbon Strategy. They are expected to be national reform strategies to be implemented by governments. The NRPs are based on a partnership between the Commission and the individual member state and between member state authorities and domestic stakeholders. The NRPs are expected to be relatively short political documents having up to 30-40 pages, plus annexes. Member states prepared NRPs by October 2005 for the three-year governance cycle(2005-2008) on the basis of the 23 integrated policy guidelines(IGs). The main body of the NRPs consists of the policy actions related to the identified domestic challenges, as well as addressing the IGs. The NRPs should principally consist of three major parts related to three kinds of guidelines: macroeconomic policy, microeconomic policy(replacing the earlier Cardiff reports) and employment policy(replacing the National Action Plans(NAPs for employment)). Member states in their NRPs identified different challenges and policy responses reflecting their different starting positions and political preferences. Starting positions and the pace of reform are monitored by a number of benchmarks, which should, at a later stage, help identify best practices, and name and shame 180
