  • Flemish Reform Programme 2020
    FLEMISH REFORM PROGRAMME 2020 3 APRIL 2020 1 PREFACE The present Flemish Reform Programme 2020 (Vlaams Hervormingsprogramma/VHP) is the tenth in a row to be drawn up by Flanders and the first to be presented by the current Government of Flanders. In the present Flemish Reform Programme (FRP) Flanders offers a bespoke response to the country-specific recommendations 2019-2020 and the Europe 2020 targets. The present FRP pays extra attention to (digital) skills, lifelong learning and the digital transition, a theme that takes a prominent place in the current European Semester (ES). Taking into account the growing impact of and new developments in the ES, the FRP should, more than ever, ensure that the European Commission (EC) is given an excellent picture of the measures Flanders is taking within the framework of the ES. It is the explicit ambition of the current Government of Flanders to make sure that Flanders becomes an undisputed reference in the Europe of the twenties. Both economically and societally, Flanders turns its focus to the north and measures itself against societies such as the Netherlands and Scandinavia. As stated in the Flemish Coalition Agreement 2019-2024, the current Government will be committed to excellent education, a strong innovative economy and labour market, a warm and caring Flanders, an inclusive society, a trim public administration with a sound budget, environment, climate, energy and, finally, mobility. The Government of Flanders sets the bar high in all areas of society, which is also reflected in several of the targets it pursues. For example, the present Government of Flanders will do everything in its power to get 120,000 extra people into work and subsequently help Flanders move towards an employment rate of 80%.
