"The Council has achieved a very important political objective: all EU environment ministers are now demanding a strong focus on sustainability and efficient use of resources by integrating them into the 2020 Strategy and therefore adding a new environmental dimension to it. The transition to a green and circular economy is a real possibility for development for Europe, an effective tool to combat the crisis and a new field of activity on which to focus in order to create millions of new jobs", said Minister Galletti.
