Hungary delivered a statement on Indicators at the informal meetings of the plenary in the process of intergovernmental negotiations on the post-2015 development agenda, held on 23 March 2015.
During the third session of the intergovernmental negotiations on the post-2015 development agenda the international community continued the work on designing a politically binding document containing the Post-2015 development agenda with a debate on sustainable development goals, targets and indicators.
Once again, Member States have confirmed that the proposal of the Open Working Group contains an ambitious package of goals and targets that is transformative, universal, with a sensitive balance among the three pillars of development. Hence, States have strongly preferred not to reopen the package.
With regard to the issue of global indicators the Membership is of the view that the exercise is of a technical nature and it is to be done by the United Nations Statistical Commission.
