Yet the same EU members have failed to endow the European Commission with overall responsibility for holding member governments to their commitments and, where necessary, imposing penalties for breaches. This intergovernmental approach lay behind the Lisbon Agenda’s failure to deliver the results needed to make Europe more competitive and dynamic by 2010, and the same shortcomings will bedevil its successor, the new “Europe 2020” strategy.
但这些欧盟成员国也未能赋予欧洲委员会全面职权，使之能督促各成员国政府遵守承诺，并在出现违反协议情况时进行处罚。也正是这种跨政府的做法导致里斯本议程无法在2010年之前实现为欧洲注入更大竞争力和更多活力的效果，而这一缺陷还将遗传给其后续项目：新的“欧洲2020”战略。
