Lissabonstrategin

Lissabonstrategin, ibland Lissabonagendan eller Lissabonprocessen, var en tioårsstrategi som antogs av Europeiska rådet i Lissabon i mars 2000 med syfte att göra den europeiska ekonomin mer konkurrenskraftig och dynamisk från 2000 till 2010. Flera av målen i strategin lyckades unionen inte uppnå.

I juni 2010 antogs en ny tioårsstrategi för unionen, kallad Europa 2020.

Flag of Europe.svg
The Flag of Europe is the flag and emblem of the European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE). It consists of a circle of 12 golden (yellow) stars on a blue background. It was created in 1955 by the CoE and adopted by the EU, then the European Communities, in the 1980s.

The CoE and EU are distinct in membership and nature. The CoE is a 47-member international organisation dealing with human rights and rule of law, while the EU is a quasi-federal union of 27 states focused on economic integration and political cooperation. Today, the flag is mostly associated with the latter.

It was the intention of the CoE that the flag should come to represent Europe as a whole, and since its adoption the membership of the CoE covers nearly the entire continent. This is why the EU adopted the same flag. The flag has been used to represent Europe in sporting events and as a pro-democracy banner outside the Union.
