The report on "Europe in a globalised world", prepared by Laurent Cohen-Tanugi, was commissioned by Christine Lagarde, Minister for the Economy, Industry and Employment, and Xavier Bertrand, Minister for Labour, Social Relations, the Family and Solidarity in November 2007 to take stock of the implementation of the Lisbon Strategy and to initiate a debate on the major issues linked to European construction in the context of globalisation at a time when France is preparing to preside over the European Union. This report is the result of wide-ranging consultations conducted in France and the European Union, with social partners, independent research bodies, academics, numerous personalities from the economic and social world, as well as the European institutions and certain Member States.
