"Europe 2020" emerged as a result of government attempts to mitigate possible effects of the economic crisis that arose in 2008 and to ensure economic, social and environmental growth in all EU Member States. The objective of this study is to analyze how evolved until now the degree of achievement of the main indicators that highlights the performance targets of "Europe 2020" Strategy. The authors conducted a European comparison between the EU countries with a maximum and minimum value of indicators and Romania, but also, where statistical data have allowed, they conducted a comparison for some global indicators between EU and non-EU developed countries from an economic point of view. This study concluded that EU countries must intensify the measures taken in order to fulfill the assumed targets and also that will be very hard for them to be achieved. A problem in this regard is that the countries have very different starting points.
