Abstract	The EU economy is enjoying a strong cyclical rebound. Employment has risen, and the decline in the EU's sustainable growth rate seems to have halted. Reforms are paying off, especially in the countries that started early. But there is a sizeable gap in GDP [gross domestic product] per capita compared with the OECD's best performers, and the gap has widened over the past decade. Moreover, growth and employment performance differs considerably within the EU itself. Europe's laggards need to learn from its best performers. The relaunched Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs provides an overarching framework that strives to keep up the pace of reforms, taking advantage of the current favourable economic circumstances and providing the conditions for stronger growth. Europe faces challenges from technological change, globalisation and population ageing. Globalisation brings opportunities for adaptable economies but punishes rigid ones, while ageing populations will put welfare systems under pressure. There are several ways the Union can help meet these challenges: a) Pushing ahead with the internal market; b) Opening up network industries to competition; c) Removing barriers to labour mobility; d) Making regional cohesion policy more effective; e) Europe's global role.
