Resolution on economic governance

The Council examined draft conclusions for the European Council meeting to be held on 17 June, prepared by the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, in cooperation with the Spanish presidency and the Commission.

Issues to be addressed by the European Council include:

• jobs and growth: adoption of the Europe 2020 strategy;
• G-20: preparation of the Toronto summit;
• development policy: UN millennium development goals;
• climate change.

President Van Rompuy is also expected to present an interim report on the work of the task force on economic governance that he chairs, at the request of the European Council, and which has held its first two meetings.

The draft conclusions will be reviewed in the light of the Council's discussion.
