This paper aims to capture the role of the analysis and assessment indicators of sustainable development of EU Member States during the last years. Based on the EU sustainable development indicators and not only it is shown how they can be used in the assessment of the three major dimensions of sustainable development: social, economic and environmental. Nowadays the concern to not limit options for future generation’ has become a priority for most governments around the world and not just Europe. The aim of this paper is the enhancement of the sustainability assessment framework by selecting the sustainable development indicators according to each country characteristics. The paper discusses several models of sustainable development analysis and identifies different indicators that were chosen to explain sustainability. With the aid of a thorough literature review and data analysis we provide arguments regarding the existence of a general model of social, economic and environmental indicators which may be applied in every country and if such model could be appropriate.
