Member States are invited to invest in education and training and to conduct an active policy of employment in order to facilitate the transition to a knowledge economy; • added an environmental pillar of the European Council at Gothenburg in June 2001 and draws attention to the fact that economic growth must be decoupled from the use of natural resources.
