'The National Strategy for Sustainable Development sets concrete goals for the switch to a new development pattern, based on knowledge and innovation, key-elements at the basis of all European countries' strategies,' PM Tariceanu has stated at the beginning of the Government meeting
The debate of the national strategy for Sustainable Development is the first point on today's Government agenda.
“This strategy has to be correlated with the goals set by the National Plan of Reforms, based on the EU's Lisbon Treaty. In fact, on May 21, we adopted a plan of action whose targets have to be reached in coordination with the sustainable development targets”, the Head of the Executive has stated.
He has added that the debate should also include other actors of the public, political, institutional or civil society life, as a vision of Romania's sustainable development is proposed, in the perspective of the next two decades, with goals that exceed the length of the electoral cycles and the current political preferences.
'I am convinced that the new development pattern will be able to reduce the time Romania needs to bridge the gap separating it from the other European countries,' PM Tariceanu said.
One of the goals promoted under this strategy will be the use of the best technologies available from an economic and environmental viewpoint, in the investment projects conducted on public money.
The PM said the strategy also includes measures aimed at cutting the effects of the weather changes. 'This is a constant concern at an European level, and the conclusions of the recent European Council, completed last week, made numerous references to this aspect, PM has said. He underscored that the adoption of this strategy has to be followed by the drawing up of a program of concrete measures.
PM Calin Popescu-Tariceanu said that multi-annual budgets should be made in various fields, likely to create the premises for long-term plans. 'A possibility in this respect would be, by 2013, to correlate these budgets with the community budget, PM Tariceanu has stated.
