The National Strategy for Romania's Durable Development will be completed by 1 October, state advisor Laszlo Borbely, coordinator of the Department for Durable Development within the Romanian Government's General Secretariat (SGG) told the conference "Romania's Development Strategy", organised by the Bursa newspaper in partnership with Romania's Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
According to him, Sweden is the first in a list of 157 countries and has 83 indicators. Romania mustn't have 200, 60-70 indicators are needed and we can follow them, the important thing, however, is how we do that.
Laszlo Borbely specified that the indicators are highly important because in their absence durable development cannot be quantified. At the UN level there is a set of 241 indicators and a set proposed by Eurostat of around 100 indicators. Romania's National Institute of Statistics has 103 indicators of which 23-45 can be daily monitored.
