During their meeting in December 2004, EU Environment Ministers invited the Commission to present in time for the Spring Council 2005: a comprehensive stock tacking of the progress in the implementation of the EU-Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) since Göteborg; an analysis of the key-findings of the Public Consultation; and policy options for a revised EU-SDS. The European Spring Council 2005 is expected to give political guidance for the revision of the EU SDS with the aim to adopt a revised strategy at a later European Council in 2005.
