可持续发展是一个贯穿各领域的问题，需要高度的政策协调。考虑到欧洲联盟2001年可持续发展战略要求欧洲联盟（欧盟）的所有政策积极支持其他国家，特别是发展中国家的可持续发展，这一点尤其正确。为了履行这一雄心勃勃的义务，欧盟承诺将考虑所有新政策在欧盟内外产生的影响，作为新的影响评估制度的一部分。本文旨在评估如何以及新的IA制度，帮助解决“外部”层面的可持续性，通过分析欧盟政策对非欧盟国家的潜在影响。它认为，国际评估程序目前并不是履行欧盟促进发展中国家可持续性承诺的有效工具。鉴于这一挑战的横向和纵向复杂性，需要考虑其他协调机制。Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons，Ltd and ERP Environment.
Sustainable development is a cross-cutting issue par excellence that necessitates a very high degree of policy coordination. This is especially true considering that the European Union's 2001 Sustainable Development Strategy demands that all European Union (EU) policies actively support the sustainable development of other countries, particularly those in the developing world. In order to fulfil this ambitious obligation, the EU has pledged to consider the impacts that all new policies have within and outside the EU as part of a new impact assessment (IA) regime. This paper aims to evaluate how well the new IA regime has helped address the ‘external’ dimensions of sustainability through the analysis of potential effects of EU policies on non-EU countries. It finds that the IA procedure does not currently function as an effective instrument for the implementation of the Union's commitment to promoting sustainability in the developing world. Other coordination mechanisms need to be considered, given the horizontal and vertical complexity of this challenge. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
