The European Union (EU), striving to create economic dominance on the global market, has prepared a comprehensive development programme, which initially was the Lisbon Strategy and then the Strategy Europe 2020. The attainment of the strategic goals included in the prospective development programmes shall transform the EU into the most competitive economy in the world based on knowledge. This paper presents a statistical evaluation of progress being made by EU member states in meeting Europe 2020. For the basis of the assessment, the authors proposed a general synthetic measure in dynamic terms, which allows to objectively compare EU member states by 10 major statistical indicators. The results indicate that most of EU countries show average progress in realisation of Europe's development programme which may suggest that the goals may not be achieved in the prescribed time. It is particularly important to monitor the implementation of Europe 2020 to arrive at the right decisions which will guarantee the accomplishment of the EU's development strategy.
欧盟致力于在全球市场建立经济主导地位，制定了一项全面的发展计划，该计划最初是《里斯本战略》，后来是《欧洲2020战略》。实现预期发展计划中包含的战略目标应能将欧盟转变为世界上最具竞争力的知识型经济体。本文对欧盟成员国在实现《欧洲2020战略》方面取得的进展进行了统计评估。作为评估的基础，作者提出了一个动态的综合通用指标，该指标可以根据10项主要统计指标对欧盟成员国进行客观比较。结果表明，大多数欧盟国家在实现欧洲发展计划方面取得了平均进展，这可能意味着这些目标无法在规定时间内实现。特别重要的是要监测《欧洲2020战略》的实施情况，以便做出正确决策，确保欧盟发展战略的实现。
