In addition, exploitation of competitive advantages must be a permanent objective, taking into account both European trends, and the challenges of globalization. Therefore, increasing competitiveness should not be viewed as a process of exploitation of short-term advantages (eg low cost of labor), but as a process of building an economic structure based on capital investment and research processes, development and innovation. In other words, articulating a vision of convergence on medium and long term need to consider developing a knowledge-based economy.
