Takes note of the report of the Committee for Development Policy on its fifteenth session;

Notes with appreciation the work done by the Committee on science, technology and innovation for sustainable development, in accordance with the theme of the annual ministerial review of the Economic and Social Council in 2013, on addressing the vulnerabilities and development needs of small island developing States, on emerging issues in international development in the post-2015 era and on the guidelines on reporting requirements for a smooth transition from the least developed country category;

Requests the Committee, at its sixteenth session, to examine and make recommendations on the theme chosen by the Council for the annual ministerial review to be held during the high-level segment of its substantive session of 2014;

Also requests the Committee to monitor the development progress of countries graduated from the category of least developed countries, in accordance with paragraph 21 of General Assembly resolution 67/221;

Further requests the Committee to monitor the development progress of countries graduating from the category of least developed countries and to include its findings in its annual report to the Council;

Endorses the recommendations contained in chapter V of the report of the Committee as a further clarification of the guidelines on the additional reporting procedures by which, as invited by the General Assembly in its resolution 67/221, graduating and graduated countries report on the preparation and implementation of their smooth transition strategy, in order to enhance the transparency of those reporting procedures;

Welcomes the decision by the General Assembly to take note of the decisions of the Council regarding the graduation of countries from the category of least developed countries, as well as the inclusion of countries in that category, at the first session of the Assembly following the adoption of such decisions by the Council;

Recalls the recommendation of the Committee that Tuvalu be graduated from the category of least developed countries, and decides to defer the consideration of this issue, on an exceptional basis, to its substantive session of 2015, allowing the Council an opportunity for further consideration of the particular challenges that Tuvalu faces;

Reiterates its satisfaction at the increased frequency of interaction between the Council and the Committee, and encourages the Chair of the Committee and, as necessary, other Committee members to continue this practice, as specified in Council resolution 2011/20, within existing resources and as appropriate.
