On 20 September 2000 the Commission adopted a Communication on the above subject. The Communication responds to the European Council's request to integrate environmental protection into Community policies in order to achieve sustainable development, in line with the requirements of the Amsterdam Treaty. It is also an important input to the long term Community strategy dovetailing policies for economically, socially and ecologically sustainable development. The document follows the presentation of strategies for integrating the environmental dimension into various Community policies, as part of the 'Cardiff process'. In line with the conclusions of the Lisbon European Council, the Communication proposes no new process, but rather the use of existing instruments, such as Member States' annual reports on structural reforms, and the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines, to achieve gradual but credible progress in integration. |
