Resolution on the outcome of the world Summit on sustainable development in Johannesburg, September 2002

The Council adopted the conclusions on the World Summit on Sustainable development. Overall, the Council invites the Commission, with a view to its Spring report, preparing the 2003 Spring meeting of the European Council, to follow the proposals for indicators from the relevant Council formations, in order to reflect the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development in a balanced way. In this context, the Council recalls that it will adopt the complete set of indicators at its December meeting. The Council has decided to review this issue at its meeting in February 2003.�
