The most important issues to deal with in the EU Growth Survey are tax and financial policy, balancing budgets and resolving the main problems of the financial crisis. Competitiveness, employment, and research and development need to be stimulated by the European economy, which, without targeted investments in these sectors, will fail to achieve growth in 2012. The text in question is a good attempt at funding management, since it keeps spending on education and research and development as priorities, partly as a result of greater revenues from better tax systems. I therefore think that a more efficient public administration is essential to the existence of a competitive economy that is able to provide incentives for growth by exploiting the benefits of belonging to the single European market.
