Welcomes the obligation that Member States now have to present annual National Reform Programmes (NRPs) structured around the 24 Integrated Guidelines for Growth and Jobs 2005-2008; considers that economic performance in this regard could be further improved if the Commission identified and promoted best practices derived from NRPs and by establishing a yearly ranking of best/worst performing countries, as proposed by the High Level Group of Independent Experts chaired by Wim Kok; calls for a deeper analysis of the structural reform policies of the last decade in order to clarify the reasons for ongoing slow growth and insufficient ...[+++]productivity; calls for a ‘smart growth strategy’, bringing together the EU’s fragmented economic policy approaches into a coherent strategy, in order to strengthen the EU’s potential with respect to a new generation of products and production methods, integrating information and communication technologies and resource-efficient technologies for sustainable development;
