Slovenia Hero of R&D; But also Climate Change Villain
Slovenia has been ranked among the best rated EU member states in research and development and the information society, according to a report on the implementation of the Lisbon Strategy.
The "Lisbon scorecard", compiled by London-based think-tank Centre for Economic Reform (CER), ranks the 25 member states, plus Romania and Bulgaria in terms of progress made towards the Lisbon goals.
While Slovenia placed among the "heroes" in terms of R&D along with Sweden and Finland, and got best rates in information society together with Denmark and Estonia, the country also found itself together with Portugal among the "villains" when it comes to climate change.
According to the survey, Sweden is the best EU member state in terms of implementation of the the EU's economic reform agenda, while Italy is the villain.
