Reform of the "Environment for Europe" Process |
|
At the 6th Ministerial Conference “Environment for Europe” ( Belgrade , 10-12 October 2007), the Ministers decided that the EfE process should continue; however, it should be reformed. The ministers agreed that the UNECE region-wide dimension of the EfE process should be maintained, while delivery should be seen as a major criterion of the effectiveness. The UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy will have to develop, by the end of 2008, a plan for EfE reform. The European ECO Forum expects to take active part in the reform process and has established an Issue Group on the Future of the EfE Process. In December 2007, this Issue Group developed and distributed a Questionnaire for ECO-Forum members as a first step in the consultations concerning the future of the EfE. The analysis of responses to the Questionnaire are reflected in the Executive Summary. |
