12.3 Environmental policy should be explicitly taken into account in the Treaty in the articles on industrial policy (130), agricultural and fisheries policy (39), transport policy (74) and policy on TENs (129b-d), in the field of energy policy, and in the field of economic policy in general. Trade policy should be compatible with the objective of sustainable development.

Recalling the OSCE's role in encouraging sustainable environmental policies that promote peace and stability, specifically the 1975 Helsinki Final Act, the 1990 Concluding Document of the CSCE Conference on Economic Co- operation in Europe (Bonn Document), the 1999 Charter for European Security adopted at the Istanbul Summit, the 2003 OSCE Strategy Document for the Economic and Environmental Dimension (Maastricht Strategy), other OSCE relevant documents and decisions regarding environmental issues, and the outcome of all previous Economic and Environmental Fora, which have established a basis for the OSCE's work i ...[+++]n the area of environment and security,
