JOINT ASSEMBLY OF THE CONVENTION CONCLUED BETWEEN THE AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC STATES AND THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (ACP-EC)

RESOLUTION () on trade based on fairness and solidarity

The ACP-EU Joint Assembly,

- meeting in Luxembourg from 23 to 26 September 1996,

- having regard to its previous resolutions on this subject and those adopted by the European Parliament, in particular that of 19 January 1994 (report by Mr Langer),

A. whereas unfair trade relations are a vital factor in the structural imbalance between North and South,

B. whereas in a large number of developing countries, including ACP countries, the production and marketing of national resources are directly or indirectly controlled by large American or European multinationals, which are only interested in profit and certainly not in seeking to combat situations of unemployment and poverty, social and environmental damage or indebtedness,

C. whereas an increasing number of Community citizens are no longer prepared to tolerate this injustice and are even willing to make personal sacrifices to seek to remedy the situation,

D. whereas, in many EU Member States, various initiatives have already been taken to promote fair and responsible trading, in other words the production and marketing of products in socially and environmentally more sustainable conditions,

E. convinced that the fair and responsible trading sector should be supported at Community level through practical measures aimed at achieving greater transparency and improving relations between producers and consumers,

1. Expresses its full support for the important measures already being taken in many Community countries to promote fair and responsible trading;

2. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to adopt concrete measures to promote fair and responsible trading, in particular through vocational and further training, improvement of distribution networks, appropriate information campaigns and preferential tax legislation;

3. Calls, in this regard, for the Community and the Member States to support the work of ATOs (Alternative Trade Associations) in providing information for consumers, training local producers and specialists in sales methods in the countries concerned, informing trading partners, etc.;

4. Calls on the major European distribution networks to help promote fair and responsible trading by reserving sufficient space for these products and allowing them to be easily identified by consumers;

5. Calls for the use of a quality mark for fair-trade products to be recognized and promoted so that such products can be given preferential treatment in respect of customs clearance, import quotas, etc.;

6. Calls on the Community to take special action at international level to promote the interests and demands of small producers in developing countries by abolishing unfair trade barriers and introducing appropriate forms of training, credit and other support measures;

7. Instructs its Co-Presidents to forward this resolution to the ACP-EU Council and the Commission.
Joint Assembly of the Convention concluded between the African, Caribbean and Pacific States and the European Union (ACP-EU) - Resolutions adopted on the implementation by the Commission of the ACP-EU Joint Assembly's resolution on infrastructure and ACP-EU cooperation (ACP-EU/2089/97/fin.)

The ACP-EU Joint Assembly,

- meeting in Brussels from 17 to 20 March 1997,

- whereas the ACP Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution and report (ACP-EU 1494) on the aspect of infrastructure and ACP-EU cooperation,

- whereas the Commission agreed to report two years later on the way in which the recommendation and resolution would be implemented in the various programmes under the auspices of ACP-EU cooperation,

1. Calls on the Commission duly to submit the report to the next ACP-EU Assembly, so that the Assembly can assess and consider the implementation of its resolution;

2. Instructs its Co-President to forward this resolution to the ACP-EU Council and the Commission.
Joint Assembly of the Convention concluded between the African, Caribbean and Pacific States and the European Union (ACP-EU) - Resolutions adopted on the employment of children (ACP-EU/2097/97/fin.)

The ACP-EU Joint Assembly,

- meeting in Brussels from 17 to 20 March 1997,

- having regard to the ILO conventions on the employment of children, including Convention 138 of 1973 on the minimum age,

A. welcoming the work carried out jointly by the ILO and UNICEF to coordinate their policies and practices,

B. whereas about 250 million children aged 5 to 14 are at present working in the developing countries, 120 million of them full-time and 130 million part-time, and whereas about 73 million children aged 10 to 14 are working full-time in about a hundred countries,

C. whereas in the developing countries about 61 % of such children (almost 153 million) live in Asia, 32 % (80 million) in Africa and 7 % (17,5 million) in Latin America,

D. whereas there is a need to denounce and eradicate certain forms of employment, living conditions, forced labour and slavery which cannot be tolerated and yet to which such children are subjected,

E. whereas physical and mental trauma is caused by such arduous and unfair living conditions,

F. condemning every form of exploitation and the dangers facing these children in their millions: slavery and forced labour in agriculture, mining, factories and craft trades, fisheries, domestic work, the building industry, prostitution and trafficking in young boys and girls,

G. concerned at the spread and expansion of the sex trade in Asia, Latin America and Africa,

1. Supports the action of the ILO and UNICEF;

2. Urges all the signatory countries of the Lomé Convention to eradicate all forms of bonded labour, slavery, paedophilia and trafficking in and forced employment of children;

5. Underlines the need to monitor compliance with the ratification of such texts;

RESOLUTION(1)

on the prevention of natural disasters

The ACP-EU Joint Assembly,

- meeting in Nassau (Bahamas) from 11 to 14 October 1999,

- having regard to European Parliament resolution A4-0021/97,

- having regard to the European Parliament's opinion of 2 October 1997,

- having regard to Commission Communication COM(96)0153 - C4-0265/96,

- having regard to Regulation 1257/96 of 20 June 1996 on humanitarian aid,

A. having regard to the growing number of natural hazards and disasters and the increase in the devastating violence thereof, the origin of which may be found in climate change, demographic pressure and the impact which human beings have on nature throughout the world,

B. whereas disasters not only result in a significant number of victims and high socio-economic costs but also hinder the development processes in which the European Union plays a role,

C. whereas the European Union's contribution to development represents 44 % of the world total and whereas ECHO contributes 40 % of total European aid,

D. firmly believing that devoting greater attention to the prevention of natural risks in the drawing up and implementation of development strategies would make a major contribution to achieving the priority objective of sustainable development,

1. Draws the attention of the Commission, the Council and the Member States to the topic of disaster prevention and preparedness with a view to securing greater protection of human lives, preventing suffering and limiting the economic consequences of disasters;

2. Firmly supports the work done by ECHO in south-east Asia, Bangladesh, Central America and the Caribbean by means of an approach involving the Dipecho programmes;

3. Calls for such an approach to be extended to other parts of the world, without excluding the implementation of selected initiatives in areas which are not covered by the Dipecho programmes;

4. States once again its firm belief that disaster prevention should be systematically taken into account in its development cooperation policy, particularly in the preparation of a new agreement between the ACP States and the European Union and in any new or renewed cooperation agreement;

5. Insists that the various aspects of disaster prevention (prevention itself, mitigating the consequences of disasters and preparing for disasters) should be regarded as a fully-fledged component of development and development cooperation policies as regards both general programmes and specific projects within those programmes, and calls in particular for any humanitarian operation financed by ECHO to include a prevention aspect;

6. Calls for greater account to be taken of the high socio-economic costs of disasters and the benefits of disaster prevention in the environmental assessment of the development policies, strategies, programmes and projects conducted by the European Union;

7. Instructs its Co-Presidents to forward this resolution to the ACP-EU Council and the Commission.

(1) Adopted by the ACP-EU Joint Assembly on 14 October 1999 in Nassau (Bahamas).
36.

Calls on the EU and the Eastern European partner countries to reflect on, and take new joint actions to deter and counter, new threats to their security, inter alia, by increasing their cooperation and exchanging relevant information; supports the development of cooperation activities between the EU and its partner countries on security and defence issues, in particular within the framework of the Eastern Partnership Panel on Cooperation in this area; calls on the EU to reinforce the security and conflict sensitivity component within the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership by concentrating more initiative and resources on the areas of security sector reform (SSR), counter-terrorism, cooperation on CSDP matters, organised crime and border management; stresses the important need of judiciary and police cooperation, for instance through Europol and Eurojust;
17.

Is encouraged by the fact that the Association Agreements with Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia all contain articles addressing gender equality and list the EU directives to which the countries should align their legislation within the next few years; underlines the value of seeing specific rights being thus entrenched in the collective acquis across the European continent, on issues such as equal treatment in employment and occupation, on parental leave, on encouraging improvements in the health and safety at work of pregnant workers and on matters of social security;
12.

Condemns Russia's foreign policy that aims to maintain an influence in the policy-making of its neighbours, through encouraging and supporting de facto authorities of separatist regions in Ukraine and Moldova and of occupied territories of Georgia, thereby undermining the restoration of their sovereignty over these regions and their territorial integrity, and preventing the safe and dignified return of internally displaced persons (IDPs); considers the ongoing Russian military aggression in eastern Ukraine to be the most important challenge to security in Europe; reiterates its support to the full implementation of the Minsk arrangements, but is disappointed by the lack of progress; takes note of the ongoing talks between US and Russian Special Representatives on a possible deployment of a UN-mandated peacekeeping operation in eastern Ukraine; invites the leaders of the Normandy Format to engage in discussing this option and to take new initiatives; continues to support all efforts to secure a lasting peaceful solution which respects the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, in particular by the deployment – with the consent of the Ukrainian authorities – of a peace-building and peacekeeping mission to the whole territory of Ukraine; calls for safe and unrestricted access for international monitoring along the Ukrainian Russian border;
