Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I too am grateful to the Austrian Presidency for having made this strategy one of its key priorities. I hope that, although our document comes slightly late in the day, the Summit will decide on something practical in this regard over the next few days and not confine itself to making token or rhetorical statements.
I should like to extract and highlight three key words that I consider essential from the contribution made by Parliament in the shape of the unanimous resolution on which we shall vote tomorrow.
The first word is integration. The Lisbon and Gothenburg European Councils were held one year apart. Five years later, the time has perhaps come to integrate them more, maybe even with a buzz word, with a new word such as
in such a way as to overcome this contradiction and this distinction between competitiveness and environment.
The second word is governance. We genuinely need to give a strong boost to the Member States and, I stress, to what is actually taking place at a local and regional level, so that everyone, across the board, might play a leading role in implementing this strategy in practice. Actions cannot only come from above, but this leading role also needs to be promoted.
Finally, the third word is monitoring. I very much agree with the need to define a concise set of, let us say, multicriterial indicators, which measure the progress made towards sustainability on a regular and ongoing basis. This is vital if we are to win over the citizens, who must have the opportunity to ascertain in practice the progress made or the difficulties encountered in pursuing our objectives. I believe that this bottom-up form of monitoring is very important."@en1
