4. German EEA andthe national strategy for sustainable development • Sustainable development requires a holistic approach: Co-ordination of sector policies, simultaneous achievement of conflicting goals, interlinkages between indicators and subjects have to be observed. • Indicator set for sustainable development: Indicators are a communication tool (problem description, performance control). The integrated analysis (diagnosis, forecasting, policy formulation) requires an underlying detailed and integrated database. • Expanded accounting data set: The national accounts and its satellite systems (environmental economic and socio-economic accounts) are the ideal framework to meet the data requirements for an integrated analysis. • Data supply for Germany: A considerable proportion of the indicators for sustainable development is already embedded into the accounting data set (NAMEA-type breakdown is a central common classification)
