HUNGARY:
Andr s Lakatos said that the UN must develop more
efficient cooperation and coordination among various organs and
programmes and realize the goals accepted by UNCED. Progress since
Rio has been limited and more has to be done to translate the
Conference's commitments toward the developing countries and
countries with economies in transition into action, particularly
regarding the provision of new and additional financial resources
to implement Agenda 21. The implementation of Agenda 21 in Hungary
is dependent on the socioeconomic problems of the country, the
transition to a market economy, and accumulated environmental
problems. The actual implementation of objectives set by UNCED
depends to a large extent on national initiatives and readiness to
incorporate the principles of sustainable development in national
programmes.
