Jeg tænker her især på de nationale regeringer, der, eftersom de skal stå til regnskab over for deres nationale parlamenter og den europæiske offentlighed, bærer ansvaret for at optimere virkningen af Lissabon-strategiens forskellige elementer.
I refer especially here to the national governments; since they are accountable to their national parliaments and to European public opinion, it is they that bear the responsibility for maximising the impact of the various components of the Lisbon Strategy.
