Projekt „Europa efektywnie korzystająca z zasobów” – ocena stopnia realizacji celów krajowych w zakresie inicjatywy przewodniej Wspólnoty

The aim of the study was to assess the level of achievement of the individual tasks of Member States in the flagship initiative of the EU and the spatial diversity of countries in this regard. The national targets concerning climate protection and efficient use of energy constituted the subject of the study. In the analysis the Europe 2020 Strategy indicators were used. At the outset the indicators were examined separately, then they were analysed altogether with use of the Hellwig’s synthetic variable method. At each stage the analyses confirmed a significant diversity of EU countries. At the halfway point of the implementation of the Strategy, countries that have achieved all the objectives: Croatia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Romania and Italy are the classification leaders. The weakest results were achieved by Germany and the United Kingdom. Poland ranks in the second ten places in all analysed aspects. It seems that the individual targets have been set accordingly to the possibilities of Member States and the EU as a whole is on track to fulfil the assigned tasks.
