INVITES the Commission, in preparing its synthesis report for 2003 to consider how to integrate the Johannesburg commitments on sustainable consumption and production into the existing EU processes, including the EU Sustainable Development Strategy and the Cardiff process, including into policies related to environmental technologies, standardisation and the integrated product policy, and how the EU can contribute to the global process of developing an international 10-year framework of programmes for sustainable consumption and production; a process in which developed countries should take the lead as agreed in Johannesburg;

The Lisbon European Council in March 2000 had in fact stipulated in its conclusions that the other configurations of the Council would be further associated with the establishment of the BEPGs by the ECOFIN Council, as they increasingly form the framework within which the general guidelines and objectives of economic and monetary policy are defined and in order to ensure coherence between the Luxembourg process (employment), the Cardiff process (economic reform) and the Cologne process (macro-economic dialogue).

(8) In Cologne on 3 and 4 June 1999 the European Council took the initiative for a European employment pact which provides a basis for a sustained and comprehensive strategy for more growth and employment and has added macroeconomic dialogue (Cologne process) as a third pillar to the coordinated employment strategy (Luxembourg process) and economic reform (Cardiff process).

Internal market matters are currently linked to the European Employment Pact of June 1999, comprising three pillars: macro-economic dialogue (the Cologne process), increasing employment (the Luxembourg process) and economic reform (the Cardiff process).

To combat unemployment and increase the level of employment in the EU, the Committee called for a growth- and stability- oriented macroeconomic policy-mix, at national and European level, which would need to bring about a high level of investment, an expansion of production capacity and, more particularly, additional investment in human resources; it also called for continuing efforts in carrying forward the Luxembourg process for Labour market and employment reform and the Cardiff process for capital and product market reform.

4. The European Council reaffirms its commitment to the coordinated employment strategy (the Luxembourg process) and to economic reform (the Cardiff process).
