The European Council of 17 June 2010 called for all common policies, including cohesion policy, to support the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth (the 'Europe 2020 strategy').
D'iarr an Chomhairle Eorpach an 17 Meitheamh 2010 go dtacódh na comhbheartais uile, lena n-áirítear an beartas comhtháthaithe, le "Straitéis Eoraip 2020 maidir le fás cliste, inbhuanaithe agus cuimsitheach" ("Straitéis Eoraip 2020").
