Euro-socialists urge \"sustainability action\"
Swedish prime minister Göran Persson and other senior figures from Europe\'s
political centre-left yesterday outlined a position on sustainable development
issues ahead of this autumn\'s world sustainability summit. Backers of the
statement - which has still to be released in final form - include EU
environment minister Margot Wallström, who is a Swedish social democrat. Others
are French housing minister Marie-Noëlle Lienemann and Dutch environment
minister Jan Pronk, who is also acting as a special UN envoy in preparations for
the Johannesburg summit (ED 05/11/01). At a press conference in Brussels, Mr
Persson and others urged all EU leaders to promote action not words on
sustainability at next week\'s Barcelona summit. Europe should play a \"leading
role\" in making the environmental dimension \"a driving force for economic
development\", he added. Zdroj: ENDS
