\item high statistics data collection at the Z peak, towards the measurement of the Z partial widths, the determination of the number of light neutrinos, and the detection of rare decays;
\item high-statistics data taking with longitudinally-polarized beams, enable a precise determination of the weak mixing angle.
\end{itemize}
An extensive description of Electroweak measurements performed at LEP and SLC in 1988-1998 can be found in Ref.~\cite{ements_on_the_Z_resonance_2006}. It is beyond the scope of this article to revisit all the measurements in view of establishing the improvements potentially brought about by TLEP. Only a brief account of a few key measurements is given here. Typically, TLEP will bring a factor $10^5$ to the statistics accumulated at LEP, which corresponds to statistical uncertainties reduced by a factor
300! 300. With such a huge reduction, it is clear that a detailed consideration of experimental systematic uncertainties will be essential before a precise conclusion be drawn on the ultimately achievable precisions. Above all, uncertainties in the theoretical interpretation will need to be revisited, which implies a significant new programme of calculations of higher-order Electroweak corrections.
