19. 鉴于经济及社会理事会尚未决定其 2017 年年度主题，主席团成员请求就主席团建议委员会将关于第五十届会议特别主题的决定推迟至 2016 年春天，待理事会 2017 年年度专题决定后再做决定。关于委员会 2018 年的特别主题，主席团决定建议委员会推迟其决定，直至 2017 年，以把委员会的专题与理事会年度专题和在可持续发展高级别政治论坛审查可持续发展问题的周期挂钩。
19. Given that the Economic and Social had not yet decided its annual theme for 2017, Bureau members requested that a decision on the Bureau’s recommendation to the Commission regarding the special theme of the fiftieth session be postponed until the spring of 2016, once the annual theme of the Council for 2017 had been decided. For the special theme of the Commission in 2018, the Bureau decided to recommend that the Commission postpone its decision until 2017, in order to align the theme of the Commission with the annual theme of the Council and the cycle of review of the Sustainable Development Goals in the high-level political forum on sustainable development.
