1. Europe 2020, axes of the revised strategy and strategic priorities
The Communication from the European Commission of 20 June 2012 stated
that the framework of the three axes of the partnership with the Outermost
Regions must be ‘updated and adapted in the light of Europe 2020’ and that
‘this means greater emphasis on creating jobs and growth, and a
comprehensive approach to climate action’.
Therefore, this Action Plan combines the five axes of the 2012 Communication,
duly framed by the Europe 2020 Strategy and developed in conjunction with the
strategic priorities of the Autonomous Region of the Azores.
