13. Whereas  at  this  stage  the  presence  in  foods  and  food
ingredients of DNA resulting from genetic modification con-
stitutes the criterion best complying with the above-mentioned
requirements;  whereas  such  an  approach  should  be  reconsi-
dered in the light of future developments in scientific know-
ledge;

13. Whereas  at  this  stage  the  presence  in  foods  and  food
ingredients of protein or DNA resulting from genetic modifi-
cation constitutes the criterion best complying with the above-
mentioned requirements; whereas such an approach should be
reconsidered in the light of future developments in scientific
knowledge;

(Amendment 2)

Recital 14

14. Whereas  foods  and  food  ingredients  produced  from
genetically  modified  soya  beans  (Glycine  max  L.)  or  from
genetically  modified  maize  (Zea  mays  L.),  in  which  DNA
resulting from genetic modification is present, are not equival-
ent and therefore are subject to labelling requirements;

14. Whereas  foods  and  food  ingredients  produced  from
genetically  modified  soya  beans  (Glycine  max  L.)  or  from
genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.), in which protein or
DNA  resulting  from  genetic  modification  is  present,  are  not

18. Whereas,  with  regard  to  foods  and  food  ingredients
which are intended to be placed on the market to be supplied to
the  final  consumer,  and  which  may  contain  both  genetically
modified and conventional produce, and without prejudice to
the other labelling requirements of this Regulation, informa-
tion  for  the  consumer  on  the  possibility  that  genetically
modified  produce  may  be  present  in  the  foods  and  food
ingredients  concerned  is  deemed  ›  by  way  of  exception,  in
particular  as  regards  bulk  consignments  ›  to  fulfill  the
requirements of this Regulation;

(Amendment 4)

Recital 20a (new)

20a. Whereas  chance  contamination  of  foodstuffs  with
protein or DNA resulting from genetic modification cannot
be excluded; whereas the labelling problem resulting from
this contamination could be avoided by setting a de minimis
threshold  for  the  detection  of  protein  and  DNA  below
which a product would be considered to be unmodified;

20b. Whereas  urgent  consideration  will  be  given,  in
consultation with the Scientific Committee for Food, to the
question of whether a de minimis threshold for the presence
of DNA or protein resulting from genetic modification can
be set and, if so, at what level;

2.
However,  foods  and  food  ingredients  referred  to  in  the
first paragraph in which DNA resulting from genetic modifi-
cation  is  not  present  shall  not  be  subject  to  the  specific
labelling  requirements,  unless  there  are  proteins  resulting
from genetic modification present.

2.
However,  foods  and  food  ingredients  referred  to  in  the
first  paragraph  in  which  neither  protein  nor  DNA  resulting
from genetic modification are present shall not be subject to
the  specific  labelling  requirements.  Accordingly,  soya  oils
and maize oils, produced other than by cold pressing, and
ingredients  derived  from  these  products  and  products
produced  from  hydrolyzed  maize  starch  shall  not  be
subject to the specific labelling requirements. In view of the
rapid progress being made in testing and analysis techni-
ques,  this  list  shall  be  subject  to  technical  adaptation
according  to  the  procedure  laid  down  in  Article  17  of
Council Directive 79/112/EEC.

(cid:145)produced  from  genetically  modified  maize(cid:146),  as  appro-
priate, shall appear in the list of ingredients, provided for
by  Article  6  of  Directive  79/112/EEC  in  parentheses
immediately  after  the  name  of  the  ingredient  concerned.
Alternatively,  these  words  may  appear  in  a  prominently
displayed  footnote  to  the  list  of  ingredients  which  has  a
typeface of at least the same size as the list of ingredients
itself.

(a)  Where the food consists of more than one ingredient, the
words  (cid:145)produced  from  genetically  modified  soya(cid:146)  or
(cid:145)produced  from  genetically  modified  maize(cid:146),  as  appro-
priate, shall appear in the list of ingredients, provided for
by  Article  6  of  Directive  79/112/EEC  in  parentheses
immediately  after  the  name  of  the  ingredient  concerned.
Alternatively,  these  words  may  appear  in  a  prominently
displayed  footnote  to  the  list  of  ingredients  which  has  a
typeface of at least the same size as the list of ingredients
itself.  Where  an  ingredient  is  already  listed  as  being
produced  from  soya  or  maize  the  words  (cid:145)produced
from  genetically  modified(cid:146)  may  be  abbreviated  to
(cid:145)genetically  modified(cid:146);  if  the  abbreviated  form  of
words is used as a footnote it must be related by means
of  an  asterisk  (*)  to  the  ingredient  concerned,  the
asterisk  being  directly  attached  to  the  word  (cid:145)soya(cid:146)  or
(cid:145)maize(cid:146).

Directive  79/112/EEC  an  ingredient  is  designated  by  the
name of a category, that designation shall be completed by
the  words  (cid:145)contains(cid:146)  or  (cid:145)may  contain  [ingredients]  pro-
duced from genetically modified soya/genetically modif-
ied maize(cid:146), as appropriate.

(c)  Where in accordance with the provisions of the first indent
of  sub  paragraph  (b)  of  paragraph  5  of  Article  6  of

›  having regard to the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defence Policy and the

opinion of the Committee on Budgets (A4-0171/98),

A.  whereas the Amsterdam Treaty makes a common defence policy a more credible prospect, given that
it strengthens the organic bond between the European Union and the WEU created by the Maastricht
Treaty  and  provides  for  the  possible  integration  of  the  WEU  into  the  European  Union,  should  the
European Council so decide,

B.  whereas the gradual establishment of a common defence policy makes sense only if that defence is an
adjunct to a common foreign policy of the European Union, a common foreign policy which has yet to
be properly implemented,

C.  whereas  the  gradual  establishment  of  a  common  defence  policy  should  not  stand  in  the  way  of  a
common foreign policy which would enable the Union to conduct a more effective policy of global
conflict prevention and management,

D.  whereas  according  to  the  Protocol  on  Article  J.7  in  the  Amsterdam  Treaty  the  European  Union
together with the WEU will jointly consider future requirements in strengthening mutual cooperation
within one year following the entry into force of that treaty in order to give to the WEU, as an integral
part of the development of the European Union, an organizational framework.

E.  whereas the new financial perspective must take account of the provisions of the Amsterdam Treaty
(Article J.18), which stipulate that operating expenditure arising under the second pillar must be met
from the Community budget, with the exception of expenditure arising from operations with military
implications or operations in the defence sphere,

F.  whereas the 50th anniversary of the Brussels Treaty, when any member state wishing to do so may
withdraw  from  the  WEU  subject  to  one  year(cid:146)s  notice,  provides  an  opportunity  to  consider  that
organization(cid:146)s future and, thereby, the development of closer relations between the European Union
and  the  WEU  with  a  view  to  the  latter(cid:146)s  future  integration  into  the  Union  and  the  advisability  of
amending the Treaty with a view to bringing its requirements into line with the current political and
strategic situation and the ability of the WEU to meet those requirements,

G.  whereas the WEU, being an integral part of the development of the European Union, should serve as
an important element of the European security and defence identity within the Atlantic Alliance,

H.  whereas  the  CFSP  is  based  on  different  components:  traditional  diplomatic  foreign  policy,
development  aid,  trade,  peace  and  conflict  resolution,  disarmament  policy  and  military  defence
policy; therefore, noting that a common defence policy is one of the means to help ensure the security
of the EU Member States and their citizens and to conduct a more effective foreign policy,

I.  whereas  all  the  EU  Member  States  are  not  yet  ready  to  work  towards  a  common  defence  policy
comprising a mutual assistance clause such as that contained in the WEU and NATO Treaties, and that
the European Union, by agreeing to include in the Amsterdam Treaty the Petersberg tasks, in which all
Member  States  are  entitled  to  take  part,  has  created  the  condition  for  peace  keeping  and  for
intervention in crisis situations,

J.  whereas  the  European  Union  should  therefore  establish  a  European  civilian  corps  to  carry  out

peacekeeping and peacemaking tasks,

K.  whereas the revised Article J.7 of the Treaty on European Union and its protocol stipulate that the
defence policy of the Union (cid:145)shall not prejudice the specific character of the security and defence
policy  of  certain  Member  States(cid:146)  and  that  (cid:145)the  European  Union  shall  draw  up,  together  with  the
Western European Union, arrangements for enhanced cooperation between them(cid:146),

L.  whereas,  if  the  WEU  Treaty  is  eventually  incorporated  into  the  European  Union,  the  security
guarantees between the EU countries which are members of the WEU which are enshrined in that
Treaty should not be weakened,

M.  whereas  the  European  Union  in  a  most  important  way  contributes  to  security  and  peaceful
developments in Europe as applicant states must take into account that respect for human rights within
their  borders  and  the  pursuit  of  harmonious  relationships  with  neighbouring  countries  are
pre-conditions for membership in the European Union,

N.  whereas the development of the security and defence policy of the European Union should be based
on the principle that the EU must be able, in special circumstances, to act independently in defence of
its  interests  and  values,  taking  into  consideration  the  conditions  and  obligations  stemming  from
membership of the North Atlantic Treaty by certain Member States, as laid down in Article J.7(1) of
the Amsterdam Treaty,

1. Affirms that the purpose of a common security and defence policy is:

› 

to safeguard the common values, fundamental interests, independence and integrity of the Union in
conformity with the principles of the United Nations Charter;

› 

to strengthen the security of the Union in all ways;

› 

to preserve peace and strengthen international security, in accordance with the principles of the United
Nations Charter, as well as the principles of the Helsinki Final Act and the objectives of the Paris
Charter, including those on external borders;

Confirms that crisis prevention is an integral part of the development and setting up of a common

2.
security and defence policy;

3.
Affirms,  furthermore,  that  the  purpose  of  a  common  defence  policy  is  to  protect  the  European
Union(cid:146)s interests in all areas, including security of essential supplies, when diplomatic instruments are no
longer sufficient;

4.
Considers, lastly, that under a common defence policy the European Union will be able to contribute
to  peace  and  stability  in  the  world,  primarily  in  the  areas  located  on  its  land  and  sea  borders,  under  a
mandate issued by the UN or the OSCE;

5.
Points out that, under the terms of Articles 51 and 52 of the United Nations Charter, an organization
such  as  the  European  Union  has  a  right  of  individual  and  collective  self-defence  and  on  that  basis  is
entitled gradually to establish a common defence policy;

Confirms that the creation and the safeguarding of peaceful and cooperative relations not only with

6.
neighbouring states but also within a global context is also a basis of defence policy;

7.
Considers that a clear distinction should be made between security and defence, with the concept of
security covering Petersberg operations and the concept of defence including territorial defence and the
protection  of  the  vital  interests  of  the  Member  States;  advocates  close  cooperation  within  the  CJTF
(Combined Joint Task Forces) framework based on Atlantic Alliance infrastructures and resources;

1. 6. 98

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 167/193

Thursday 14 May 1998

8.
Confirms that, until the WEU is integrated into the European Union, the territorial integrity of the
Member States will continue to be protected under alliances to which some Member States are parties, but
points out that the Amsterdam Treaty established the principles of the (cid:145)integrity of the Union(cid:146) and (cid:145)mutual
political solidarity(cid:146) and made reference to the (cid:145)external borders(cid:146) of the Union, and that these concepts must
be further developed with the deepening of European integration and the enlargement of the European
Union, with a view to convergence between the two organizations;

Notes that the security of most EU Member States is currently dependent on their membership of
9.
NATO; points out, however, that the future enlargement of the European Union to take in Central and
Eastern European countries and Cyprus will not necessarily coincide with a corresponding enlargement of
NATO, in view of the decisions taken at the Madrid summit, and that, as the European Union grows larger,
there could be increasing pressure for it to develop a common defence policy;

10.
Confirms that the enlargement of the European Union will also fundamentally contribute to the
overall security of our continent and underlines the importance of the Pact for Stability in Europe and the
European Conference in that respect;

11.
Notes  the  decisions  adopted  by  the  North  Atlantic  Council  in  Berlin  on  3  June  1996  regarding
recognition of the European security and defence identity within the Atlantic Alliance and the agreement
reached on the CJTF concept, which will enable the European States to take action under the CFSP or on a
bilateral  or  multilateral  basis  while  being  able  to  make  use  of  Atlantic  Alliance  infrastructures  and
resources when the United States do not wish to take part in a given operation;

Invites the EU Member States which also belong to NATO to ensure the principles governing the

12.
CJTF are clarified, so that practical arrangements to prepare for CJTF actions can be made;

13.
Emphasizes the need for the Member States, following consultation with NATO when appropriate,
to acquire a larger European capacity in the fields of strategic air mobility, space intelligence and satellite
communications  for  cases  in  which  Europe(cid:146)s  vital  interests  make  it  necessary  to  conduct  independent
operations;

14.
Emphasizes the importance of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council and its enhanced Partnership
for Peace programme, which enable all present and future EU Member States to take part in operations
launched by NATO on an equal footing with NATO members, such as in Bosnia and Herzegovina;

15.
Considers  that  cooperation  in  the  field  of  armaments  needs  to  be  strengthened  and  that  the
restructuring of Europe(cid:146)s defence-related industries, the establishment of an open internal market in the
armaments sector, the production of common military equipment which is as cost-effective as possible
and the formulation of a unified policy on arms exports are essential to the establishment of a common
defence policy; welcomes the decisions taken in this area by the WEU Council at Erfurt, which prepared
the way for the establishment of a European Armaments Agency as provided for in the Maastricht Treaty,
and hopes that the existing bodies (WEAO and OCCAR) will ultimately be brought together within such
an agency;

Notes that the creation of a common defence policy supported by a common armaments policy is

16.
not at odds with the objective of global disarmament;

17. Welcomes  the  progress  made  by  the  Fifteen  with  the  drafting  of  a  Code  of  Conduct  on  arms
exports, particularly as regards the refusal notification procedure and the establishment of joint principles
to govern exports, and calls for that agreement to be concluded speedily; draws attention to the fact that
this  coordination  of  policies  on  exports  will  increase  transparency  among  the  Member  States  as  they
establish strict joint standards to govern their arms exports and will help to maintain and develop a strong
European defence industry by facilitating closer cooperation among the Member State industries;

Notes  that  the  forces  currently  answerable  to  WEU  (FAWEU)  constitute  the  instruments  of  a

18.
common defence policy;

Deplores  the  fact  that  neither  the  European  Union,  pursuant  to  Article  J.4(2)  of  the  Maastricht
19.
Treaty, nor the WEU itself reached agreement on intervention by Eurofor and Euromarfor in Albania, but
welcomes the fact that the four categories of WEU members were involved in the (cid:145)Alba(cid:146) operation under
Italian auspices, thus demonstrating that the Europeans are capable of taking independent limited military
actions;

C 167/194

20.
Proposes, with the view to the gradual development of a common defence policy for the European
Union, a set of practical measures which will, at the appropriate time, facilitate the integration of the WEU
into the European Union and enable each State to take part;

21.
Urges the Union to implement without equivocation the provisions of the Amsterdam Treaty under
which the Union shall have political responsibility in terms of its defining guidelines for decisions and
action taken under the CFSP, which the WEU shall be specifically instructed to implement at the military
level;

Calls  for  the  observer  States  to  be  able  to  take  part  in  military  operations  (including  defence

22.
operations) other than Petersberg missions, under the same conditions as for those missions;

Recommends that closer relations be forged between the European Union and the WEU by means

23.
of:

› 

the exchange of information and documents between the two organizations,

› 

the establishment of an interparliamentary delegation within the European Parliament responsible for
relations with the WEU Assembly, which would:

(i)  enable  the  two  assemblies  to  establish  ongoing  working  relations  to  consider  jointly  the
conditions essential to the implementation of the common defence policy provided for in Article
J.7(1) of the Amsterdam Treaty,

(ii)  help to improve the flow of information between the two assemblies,

(iii) and facilitate the exercise by the two assemblies of the powers of democratic scrutiny conferred
upon  them  by  their  respective  treaties,  for  as  long  as  the  WEU  continues  to  operate  as  an
independent body;

24.
Recommends  that  the  (cid:145)Security  Aspects(cid:146)  Unit  of  DG1A  of  the  Commission  which  deals  with
security and defence matters be greatly strengthened to reflect the increased importance of such matters in
the Amsterdam Treaty, and kept under the authority of the Commissioner responsible for the CFSP and
calls for the latter and Commission officials to take part, alongside representatives of the Council of the
EU and the WEU, in the Policy Planning and Early Warning Unit so that it represents Community added
value;

Calls for the Policy Planning and Early Warning Unit to draw up a White Paper on defence and EU

25.
peacekeeping operations for approval by the European Council;

26.
Considers that such a White Paper, which would identify, inter alia, common security interests,
would  enable  the  Member  States(cid:146)  defence  policies  to  be  gradually  harmonized,  thus  facilitating  the
development  of  common  armaments  programmes  and  thereby  strengthening  the  European  Union(cid:146)s
internal cohesion and its position on the international scene;

27.
Calls for meetings of defence ministers to be held within the Council of the European Union to
consider  specific  matters  coming  under  the  second  pillar  and,  where  appropriate,  the  first,  such  as
restructuring of the European armaments industry and the issue of arms exports;

28.
Calls, furthermore, for joint meetings of Foreign Affairs Ministers and Defence Ministers to be held
within the Council of the European Union at least twice a year and wherever EU action is likely to require
the support of armed forces, such as in the case of Petersberg missions, so as to ensure greater consistency
between  the  decisions  taken  at  EU  level  on  the  political  guidelines  for  such  action  and  their
implementation by the WEU;

Proposes  that,  as  part  of  the  work  of  Parliament(cid:146)s  Committee  on  Foreign  Affairs,  Security  and
29.
Defence  Policy,  regular  meetings  be  organized  with  the  Secretaries-General  of  NATO  and  the  WEU,
together with the WEU Presidency and, as appropriate, the OSCE, with a view to improving the flow of
information to Parliament on the activities of the organizations responsible for European security;

30.
Recommends,  furthermore,  that,  starting  from  1  January  1999,  when  the  presidencies  of  the
European  Union  and  the  WEU  will  be  harmonized,  the  Council  Presidency  report  to  plenary  on  the
activities of both the European Union and the WEU, so as to emphasize the convergence between the two
organizations;

1. 6. 98

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 167/195

Thursday 14 May 1998

31.
Notes that the establishment of a Policy Planning and Early Warning Unit, in which the WEU will
take part, should facilitate full cooperation of the WEU with the EU; urges that the WEU will make all its
resources (Planning Cell, Situation Centre and Satellite Centre) available to that unit;

32.
Notes that the crises having developed until now in Europe (Bosnia, Albania) have required the
intervention  of  police  forces;  proposes  consequently  that  the  Member  States  should  have  suitably
qualified  personnel  in  readiness  and  for  rapid  deployment;  proposes  that  such  operations  could  be
coordinated and organized with the help of the WEU;

33.

Proposes furthermore a small police planning unit based on the following principles:

(a)  given its links with the judicial and police authorities of the Member States, the unit shall be engaged

by decision of the European Union;

(b)  the  Union  shall,  if  necessary,  instruct  the  WEU  to  lay  down  the  operational  procedures  for  its

deployment;

(c)  where  necessary,  the  unit  shall  be  strengthened  by  additional  personnel  provided  by  the  Member

States;

(d)  the  unit  shall  maintain  ongoing  contacts  with  the  police  forces  (and,  where  such  bodies  exist,  the
gendarmeries) of the Member States, with a view to formulating harmonized engagement procedures;
it shall train and supervise local police forces when it is deployed on an operational basis;

Affirms that such a common defence policy shall not be directed against anyone in particular and

34.
may therefore be used as a cooperation instrument for CFSP purposes;

35.
Calls for security matters to be discussed between the European Union and Russia as part of the
high-level  political  dialogue  provided  for  in  the  partnership  and  cooperation  agreement  concluded
between the two parties, and recommends that the same approach be adopted vis-a‘-vis the other CIS States
with which the European Union has concluded a partnership and cooperation agreement;

36.
Proposes,  in  this  connection,  that,  where  appropriate  by  giving  a  mandate  to  the  WEU,  the
European  Union  negotiate  agreements  with  interested  third  countries,  with  a  view  to  facilitating  the
implementation of Petersberg missions and, perhaps, even involving them in such missions;

Points  out  that,  should  there  be  financial  implications  for  the  European  Union  budget,  the

37.
Commission must inform the budgetary authority before concluding cooperation agreements;

Deplores the fact that the idea of holding a WEU summit at the time of that organization(cid:146)s 50th

38.
anniversary did not meet with the approval of WEU members;

39.
Takes the view that the WEU should be updated with a view to forging closer institutional links
between it and the European Union prior to its possible integration into the Union; considers it essential,
therefore, to consider various issues relating to the adjustments which must be made to the WEU Treaty if
the above goal is to be met, such as:

› 

the  implications  of  the  WEU  Declaration  of  22  July  1997  for  implementation  of  the  Amsterdam
Treaty, the development of the European security and defence identity and the strengthening of the
WEU(cid:146)s operational role within the CFSP, without, however, calling into question Article V of the
WEU Treaty,

›  clarification of the status of associate partners and redefinition of that of associate members, with a
view to enlargement of the European Union to take in Central and Eastern European countries and
Cyprus,

› 

the  implications  of  the  structural  changes  which  have  taken  place  within  the  WEU  ›  the  military
committee and the multinational forces answerable to WEU (FAWEU) › for the WEU Treaty and,
where appropriate, for relations with the European Union;

40.
Decides lastly, with a view to the gradual establishment of a common defence policy, to change the
name of its specialized subcommittee to (cid:145)Subcommittee on Security, Defence and Disarmament Policy(cid:146);

41.
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, to the Council, to WEU, NATO
and OSCE bodies, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and to the parliaments of the Member
States, the applicant countries and all other European states.

B4-0455, 0456, 0457, 0458 and 0460/98

Resolution on Euro-Mediterranean Agreements

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to its previous resolutions on the follow-up of the Barcelona Conference,

›  having regard to the joint meeting of the Delegation for relations with the Maghreb countries and the
Arab Maghreb Union and the Delegation for relations with the Mashreq countries and the Gulf States
of 26 February 1998 on the MEDA and MED programmes,

A.  concerned at the slowness with which the planned Euro-Mediterranean partnership is being put into

effect, and also at the difficulties encountered,

B.  whereas the promotion of, and respect for, human rights are essential features of Euro-Mediterranean

cooperation,

C.  having  regard  to  the  meeting  of  Foreign  Affairs  Ministers  (15  and  12)  which  will  take  place  in
Palermo on 3 and 4 June 1998, the agenda for which includes the relaunch of the Euro-Mediterranean
process initiated at Barcelona,

D.  stressing the importance of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership and the need for progress to be made
in this area with all the countries which subscribe to the principles of peace and cooperation which are
set out in the Barcelona Declaration, and the fact that the Barcelona process must be an integral part of
the new foreign policy,

E.  whereas the Mediterranean Parliamentary Forum, which is about to be set up, will provide a major
instrument for deepening political dialogue and the strategy for Euro-Mediterranean relations,

F. 

recalling that the MEDA funds and the MED Programmes are the indispensable instruments for the
concrete development of the process, and noting the fresh impetus given by the Commission to the
MED URBS, MED MEDIA and MED CAMPUS Programmes.

G.  convinced that Israel must honour the commitments relating to the Middle-East peace process which it

made under the Barcelona Declaration of November 1995 and the Oslo accords,

H.  aware that the difficulties encountered in the Middle-East peace process are increasingly undermining

the Barcelona process,

1.
Believes  that  stability  and  prosperity  in  the  Mediterranean  region  are  of  common  strategic
importance and that it is necessary to improve political stability and security on the basis of democratic
institutions, respect for human rights and the rule of law;

2. Wishes to see a relaunch of the Euro-Mediterranean dynamic with due respect for the commitments
laid down in the Barcelona Declaration, in the hope that all the countries bordering the Mediterranean can
be persuaded to observe the principles which it sets out;

3.
Calls on the Member States to ratify without delay the Euro-Mediterranean Agreements which have
already been concluded and hopes for greater openness in the conduct of the current negotiations and in
the implementation of the agreements which have already been ratified;

4.
Calls on the Council to take into account the concerns of Mediterranean non-member countries on
the  grounds  that  the  economies  of  the  partner  countries  and  the  growth  of  their  external  trade  in
agricultural and agri-industrial products depend to a large extent on the attitude of their major partner,
namely the European Union;

Calls on the Commission to monitor closely the implementation of the agreements in order to reduce

5.
the social impact of economic transition;

6.

Calls for specific cooperation to combat drugs, terrorism and money laundering;

1. 6. 98

Thursday 14 May 1998

Urges  the  Commission  to  propose  a  specific  programme  for  cooperation  in  the  field  of  the

7.
environment, in particular for measures in favour of sustainable development in the Mediterranean;

Calls  for  migration  policy  and  social  affairs  to  be  incorporated  into  the  Euro-Mediterranean

8.
partnerships;

9.
Calls on the Council to bear in mind the need for the partner states to achieve progress in terms of
respect  for  human  rights  and  basic  freedoms  and  the  need  to  promote  dialogue  between  human  rights
organizations, governments and the European Union;

10.
Calls on the Commission to brief Parliament on the specific measures it has taken to improve the
currently inadequate checks at every stage of the management of projects in the context of cooperation
with Mediterranean countries;

11.
Notes that the three MED programmes (MED URBS, MED CAMPUS and MED MEDIA) have
been restarted and hopes for confirmation of the European Union(cid:146)s commitment to providing financial
support  for  the  economic  transition  processes  called  for  under  the  association  agreements  beyond  the
expiry dates of the MEDA programme; notes the decision to set up a MED secretariat, to be run by DG IB,
which  will  have the task of examining  the projects selected for 1996, and hopes that assessments will
indeed be based on new management standards applying to decentralized cooperation;

Urges  the  Union  Presidency  to  pursue  its  diplomatic  efforts  with  a  view  to  relaunching  the

12.
Middle-East peace process;

Considers that the decision by the Israeli Government not to accept the invitation to attend a further
13.
meeting with the Palestinian National Authority as proposed by the USA makes it more difficult to restart
the peace process;

Emphasizes the crucial role to be played by civil society in the partner countries, notably in Algeria,

14.
and the need to promote cooperation with counterparts within the European Union;

15.
Hopes  that,  in  Algeria,  the  fight  against  terrorism  and  the  action  needed  to  protect  the  civilian
population will be conducted in accordance with the rule of law and respect for human rights; calls for
greater cooperation in the fight against terrorism, in particular by cutting off funding from the Algerian
terrorist bases established in Europe;

Calls  on  the  Council  to  find  ways  of  resuming  negotiations  with  the  Algerian  Government,

16.
reaffirming once more the importance of political dialogue;

Instructs  its  President  to  forward  this  resolution  to  the  Council,  the  Commission  and  the

17.
governments of the countries which signed the Barcelona Declaration.

Resolution on Kosovo

The European Parliament,

›  having  regard  to  its  previous  resolutions  on  the  situation  in  Kosovo,  especially  that  of  12  March

1998 (1),

›  having regard to the outcome of the meetings of the Contact Group for the former Yugoslavia on

25 March 1998 in Bonn and on 29 April 1998 in Rome,

C 167/198

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

1. 6. 98

Thursday 14 May 1998

A.  expressing  its  deepest  concern  about  the  conflict  in  Kosovo,  which  has  already  escalated  into  a
low-level  war,  and  the  continuing  increase  in  violence  in  that  region,  the  systematic  violations  of
human rights, ethnic discrimination, arbitrary police action and torture by the Serb authorities,

B.  extremely worried by the excessive use of force by the Yugoslav security forces, the proliferation of
arms in the territory and the use of terrorist actions by some extremist groups in Kosovo; emphasizing
that the use of violence to suppress political dissent as well as the use of terrorist actions to achieve
political change should be absolutely rejected as a way of bringing about a solution to the crisis in
Kosovo,

C.  emphasizing that a lasting solution to the deepening crisis in Kosovo can only be achieved by peaceful
means  through  the  opening  of  a  meaningful  and  unconditional  dialogue,  with  international
involvement, between the government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the leadership of the
Kosovo Albanian population and must be based on full respect for basic human rights, the protection
of all individuals and ethnic groups and the rule of law,

D.  whereas the conflict in Kosovo risks spreading to surrounding areas, and whereas the Albanian Prime
Minister has called for the presence of a NATO force within his country to reduce the possibility of the
crisis in Kosovo escalating,

E.  pointing out that international response to the crisis to date has been both slow and weak, but noting
that the Contact Group for the former Yugoslavia has decided to take certain measures against the
Federal  Republic  of  Yugoslavia,  because  a  number  of  basic  requirements  for  solving  the  crisis  in
Kosovo  have  not  been  met  by  the  Federal  Republic  of  Yugoslavia,  and  deploring  the  Russian
Federation(cid:146)s failure to associate itself with these measures,

F.  whereas clear recognition should be given to the openness shown by the government of Montenegro,

G.  noting with great concern that the further escalation of the crisis in Kosovo and the concentration of
troops at the Albanian border pose a serious and immediate threat to stability in the whole region and a
clear threat to international peace and stability,

H.  whereas evidence suggests that war crimes have been committed by Serbian police and paramilitaries
in Kosovo during the fighting over the last months, and whereas the International Tribunal for War
Crimes  in  the  former  Yugoslavia  has  the  power  to  prosecute  individuals  who  have  committed
violations of international humanitarian law on (cid:145)the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991(cid:146),

Strongly and unreservedly condemns the use of force against the unarmed civilian population by the

1.
Yugoslav forces and the proliferation of arms in the territory;

2.

Strongly condemns the use of terrorist actions by some extremist groups in Kosovo;

Calls on the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and on the representatives of the
3.
Kosovo Albanian population to start as a matter of urgency and without any preconditions a meaningful
and constructive dialogue, with international involvement, on the future status of Kosovo;

4.
Calls on the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to start cooperating as a matter of
urgency  with  the  Contact  Group  for  the  former  Yugoslavia  and  to  allow  immediately  the  special
representative of the European Union, Mr Gonza·lez, to start his work, which is essential for improving the
general prospects of, and progress in, the dialogue;

Calls  on  the  Council  to  make  every  effort  to  launch  a  strong  political  initiative  with  the  aim  of

5.
opening up negotiations between the parties, and to:

› 

issue an invitation to both parties to meet at a place outside the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and

›  suggest further confidence-building measures;

6.
Calls on the Member States, the UN Security Council, the OSCE, NATO and the WEU to take all the
necessary measures to prevent the conflict in Kosovo spilling over into other parts of the region, to support
the security interests of the neighbouring states and to secure their borders;

1. 6. 98

Requests  the  Council  and  the  Commission,  but  also  the  OSCE  and  the  UN,  immediately  to  send

7.
observers also to the border between Albania and Kosovo;

Supports  the  decisions  taken  by  the  Contact  Group  for  the  former  Yugoslavia  as  a  first  step  in
8.
increasing pressure on President Milosevic and the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to
find a peaceful and constructive solution to the deepening crisis in Kosovo;

9.
Calls on the Council to make clear to the Yugoslav authorities that new sanctions will be introduced
if they do not make rapid and constructive efforts to find a solution to the future status of Kosovo and to
restore civil and human rights for its population;

10.
Demands the immediate release of the political prisoners and innocent detainees from Kosovo who
are held in Yugoslav prisons, such as Professor Ukshin Hoti, who has been repeatedly imprisoned simply
because he pleaded for a peaceful negotiated solution to the Kosovo problem;

11.
Gives its full support to all groups and individuals within and outside Kosovo who are seriously
involved  in  seeking  a  constructive  solution  to  the  future  of  Kosovo  and  its  people  and  who  strive  to
achieve these goals by peaceful means;

Calls on the International Tribunal for War Crimes in the former Yugoslavia to investigate possible

7.  Competitiveness of European industry

A4-0138/98

Resolution on the competitiveness of European industry (SEC(96)2121 › C4-0025/97)

The European Parliament,

›  having  regard  to  the  Commission(cid:146)s  staff  working  paper  on  (cid:145)The  competitiveness  of  European

Industry(cid:146) (SEC(96)2121 › C4-0025/97),

›  having regard to the Council Resolution of 21 November 1994 on strengthening the competitiveness

of European industry (1),

›  having regard to the observations of the parties concerned, particularly at the hearing of 25 September

1997,

›  having regard to its previous resolutions on industrial policy in the European Union,

›  having  regard  to  the  report  by  the  Committee  on  Economic  and  Monetary  Affairs  and  Industrial

Policy (A4-0138/98),

A.  whereas industry is still the basis for the growth and prosperity of Europe; whereas the overwhelming
majority of Europe(cid:146)s exports consists of industrial goods; whereas industry is of crucial importance
for much of the knowledge-intensive services sector as buyer of its products,

B.  whereas  industry  supplies  the  service  sector  with  the  instruments  and  methods  on  which  its
productivity is based; whereas the competitiveness of enterprises, based on their ability to perform
these strategic tasks, is therefore crucial in stimulating growth,

C 167/200

Official Journal of the European Communities

1. 6. 98

Thursday 14 May 1998

C.  whereas this process highlights the mutual dependence between the industrial fabric and the other

economic activities and their institutional environment,

D.  whereas, therefore, Europe must have a dense industrial fabric, distributed evenly amongst all sectors
of industry without neglecting the complementarity between small and medium-sized undertakings,
the agents of growth and employment, and large-scale undertakings, the engines of Europe(cid:146)s active
participation in the globalization of trade,

E.  whereas  competitiveness  requires,  in  addition  to  an  inherently  well-performing  industrial  base,
overall economic conditions of price and currency stability, together with a tax burden and a system of
taxation which do not essentially differ from those in competitor countries, a functioning pay structure
and a framework conducive to genuine dialogue between management and labour,

F.  whereas European industry represents the mastery of production processes, the vocational skills and
experience and the accumulation of scientific and technological knowhow which are essential to an
economic bloc of its importance,

G.  whereas,  however,  education  systems  in  Europe  need  to  be  modernized,  entrepreneurship  and
management know-how strengthened and advanced research intensified in order to improve on the
utilization and development of new technologies,

H.  whereas an approach towards strengthening Europe(cid:146)s industrial competitiveness and improving its
productivity which is based chiefly on the flexibility of the labour market and cutting the total wage
bill is economically and socially inappropriate,

I.  whereas  the  markets  in  Europe  must  operate  better,  which  requires  more  intensive  measures  to
combat the distortion of government aid and monopolies, more exposure to competition with better
compliance  with  public  procurement  rules  and  more  privatization,  and  further  liberalization  and
deregulation of markets,

J.  whereas  the  task  of  adapting  industry  and,  more  generally,  the  European  economy  to  the  new
technological and economic conditions is a formidable challenge for Europe which concerns society
as a whole and makes the responsibility of the political, economic and social leaders all the greater
since this phase of social transformation must take place under social conditions which are acceptable
and consistent with the European social model,

K.  whereas the pace of change is growing ever faster as a result of the development of new technology,
new competitor countries and more open markets; whereas, therefore, rules and regulations must be
based  on  principles  which  are  simple  and  sustainable  in  the  long  term  in  order  to  produce  the
necessary flexibility required to succeed in adjusting to new times,

1. Welcomes the publication of a report on the competitiveness of European industry which provides a
valuable basis for analysis and a useful tool for assessing the conduct of European industrial policy and
hopes that the Commission will regularly publish an evaluation report of this nature on the same analytical
basis  which  will  help  to  monitor  trends  in  the  performance  of  European  industry  and  assess  the
effectiveness of the measures implemented;

2.
Notes that Europe(cid:146)s problems are well charted and that the need now, therefore, is to switch from
analysis to action and for the Member States, in particular, to live up to their commitment to enhance
competitiveness;

Notes the contradictions in the Commission(cid:146)s conclusions which do nonetheless show that despite
3.
the criticism with which it so often meets European industry is continuing to perform honourably in its
traditionally strong sectors (engineering and metal working, chemistry and pharmaceuticals) even if its
performance generally lags behind that of its Japanese and American competitors and even if this trend
does not appear to have altered in recent years;

4.
Stresses the impact of exchange-rate fluctuations on the competitiveness of European enterprises,
whether in Europe in 1992 and 1993 or vis-a‘-vis the dollar over the past decade, and believes that the
adoption of a single currency will therefore have a stabilizing and positive effect;

1. 6. 98

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 167/201

Thursday 14 May 1998

5.
Notes  the  lack  of  any  real  chronic  sectoral  weaknesses,  with  the  exception  of  the  persistent
backwardness in the field of information technology and, to a lesser extent, biotechnology; is nonetheless
concerned  by  the  structural  failings  affecting  enterprises  as  much  as  the  institutional  environment,  by
rigidities of all types and by the difficulties and delays experienced by enterprises and European society in
adapting to the technological changes and their repercussions;

6.
Points to the very clear correlation between the productivity of the European economy and levels of
investment, both public and private, whose weakness over the past decade is plainly one of the major
handicaps;

7.
Questions, where the level of productivity in Europe is concerned, on the one hand the tax burden
borne by enterprises and labour and, on the other hand, the effectiveness of the methods employed by
European firms to boost their productivity, whilst noting that, with equal growth rates, the United States
are creating more jobs at both high and low value added;

Notes  that,  despite  its  considerable  diversified  and  complementary  research  potential,  Europe
8.
achieves only mediocre results in the area of innovation, although it is essential to its competitiveness, and
this is reflected in its decline in the patents sector;

Acknowledges the impact of environmental requirements on competitiveness as a factor stimulating
9.
research,  innovation  and  improvements  in  the  quality  of  products  but  also  takes  the  view  that
environmental constraints constitute a net financial burden which is only acceptable in production costs if
it is imposed on other competitors in the same way and is part of a more comprehensive approach towards
sustainable development;

10.
Remarks that, apart from the overlapping of economies as a result of the expansion of trade in the
internal  market,  Europe(cid:146)s  industrial  structures  continue  to  display  their  own  particular  national
characteristics  which  only  appear  to  be  changing  slowly,  reflecting  Europe(cid:146)s  difficulty  in  evolving
towards an organizational model geared to the globalization of markets;

11.
Considers  that  the  Commission(cid:146)s  analysis  fully  justifies  improving  the  general  underlying
conditions in order to strengthen the competitiveness of industry and speed up the necessary structural
transformation;

12.
Calls on the Commission, accordingly, to draw up proposals laying the foundations for a genuine
European  industrial  policy  based,  in  particular,  on  incentives  for  public  and  private  investment,  the
introduction of aid mechanisms › of the ECSC type › for innovative, job creating and/or restructuring
industries, and the development of venture capital;

Stresses  that  a  Union  industrial  policy  must  lay  the  emphasis  on  long-term  objectives  and

13.
contribute towards economic and social cohesion;

14.
Considers therefore that it is essential to ensure that a financial environment more favourable to
business  is  created,  which  will  be  assisted  by  the  introduction  of  the  euro,  in  particular  by  facilitating
equity  market  capitalization,  creating  a  tax  structure  which  is  conducive  to  internal  financing  and
employment,  aiding  the  diversification  of  sources  of  finance,  particularly  for  small  and  medium-sized
enterprises, and, finally, by promoting lower ex-post real interest rates;

15.
Firmly supports the principle of coordinating and harmonizing fiscal policies, particularly those
aspects relating to the various forms of company taxation, in order to prevent any unfair national and/or
regional tax competition which would lead, in addition to the relocation of firms, to the depletion of the
authorities(cid:146)  tax  receipts,  to  the  medium  and  long-term  detriment  of  economic  and  social  conditions  in
Europe;

16.
Emphasizes the role and responsibility of government at national and European level in financing
and part-financing the transport and teleworking papers infrastructures made available to enterprises and
repeats, on this occasion, its calls for funds for the trans-European networks, as finance for the teleworking
papers infrastructures must be provided to support the necessary adjustment to the new technologies;

C 167/202

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

1. 6. 98

Thursday 14 May 1998

17.
Considers that the simplification of administration and, more generally, the improvement of every
aspect of the administrative environment of enterprises (from business start-ups to taxation, through the
application of social legislation and the gathering of statistics) has not been the subject of a sufficiently
comprehensive study by the national and European public authorities and suggests that they seek to tailor
the role of the administrations more closely to the needs of companies, on the basis of a (cid:145)public service
mission(cid:146);

Believes that, in the area of R&D, public spending on industrial research must be geared more to
18.
commercial  applications  and  its  level  must  be  maintained,  especially  for  Community  research  and  for
national research policies which must now be properly coordinated between the Member States to enable
synergies to take effect in view of the constant increase in the critical mass of research projects;

19.
Strongly encourages the creation of European structures, whether private, public or joint in origin
(structures  of  which  Eureka  is  just  one  of  the  possible  configurations)  capable  of  bringing  industrial
partners together in major research cooperation projects;

20.
Believes the European Union can significantly advance the integration of industry by creating the
appropriate legal framework for European groups, with the adoption of the European company statute as a
first and psychologically crucial step towards recognizing the European dimension of business;

21.
Takes the view that competition policy is an intrinsic component of industrial policy inasmuch as it
guarantees all companies the same conditions of development; believes, therefore, that competition policy
must be coordinated with research and innovation policy to the extent that it corresponds to an industrial
strategy and must be asserted in the European Union(cid:146)s trade policy (as was possible recently in the case of
the MacDonnell-Douglas/Boeing merger);

Considers that competition policy must encourage the regrouping of European companies in so far

22.
as that influences their competitiveness on world markets;

23.
Considers  that  minimum  social  and  environmental  conditions  should  be  laid  down  to  govern
bilateral  and  multilateral  world  trade  in  order  to  combat  social  and  environmental  dumping;  believes,
further, that wider and more effective coordination is required when certifying products to be offered for
sale on the EU market;

24.
Believes that the opening of markets and the globalization of trade makes it necessary to strengthen
intellectual property rights for European firms by passing legislation at international level, in the form of
economic instruments to promote the competitiveness of enterprises;

25.
Considers,  furthermore,  that  the  activity  of  European  firms  on  the  large  international  markets
continues, despite the WTO rules, to be bound by numerous direct and indirect restrictions which require
more  concrete  and  more  energetic  action  on  the  part  of  the  Commission,  whether  by  systematically
bringing infringement proceedings, extending existing agreements to nations currently excluded (such as
China) or limiting the number of bilateral agreements and preferential regimes;

Believes that labour markets must be able to adjust in line with the changes in society, and that the
26.
initiatives taken on reducing working time in the different Member States must be analysed in terms of
their long-term economic and social impact;

States its conviction that it is in the skills and continual upgrading of its labour force that Europe
27.
can find a lasting remedy for unemployment; education and vocational training must undergo fundamental
changes to meet the constant need for new skills which are increasingly drawing the role of education into
the business world, a fact which could lead in-service training to be regarded as an integral part of working
time and bring it closer to the work place;

28.
Hopes that European companies will show more dynamism in adjusting to structural changes with
new working methods and a greater ability to take up competitive positions at European and international
level;

1. 6. 98

C 167/203

Thursday 14 May 1998

29.
Observes  that  the  changes  to  the  process  of  industrial  organization,  arising  as  much  from  the
pressure of international competition as from the impact of the new technologies, must be taken more fully
into  account  by  European  firms  which  must  be  encouraged  to  use  management  tools  such  as
benchmarking  or  industrial  marketing,  which  is  based  on  a  partnership  of  enterprises  upstream  and
downstream;

Stresses the positive contribution that public sector companies make to the industrial competitive-

30.
ness of the Union and to the attainment of its general objectives;

Instructs  its  President  to  forward  this  resolution  to  the  Commission,  the  Council,  UNICE,  the

A.  whereas electronic commerce covers all commercially relevant activities undertaken by companies,
governments or consumers over electronic networks such as the Internet and www, including trading,
sales and purchases, contracting, advertising and diverse marketing activities › all in all creating the
electronic market place,

B.  whereas  electronic  commerce  covers  services  (both  transport  and  telecommunications  services  as
well as content services, such as legal services, financial services, music and audiovisual etc.) and
physical goods, whose sale is conducted by electronic means,

1. 6. 98

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

C 167/205

Thursday 14 May 1998

C.  whereas the advent of electronic commerce changes the balance of physical and intangible goods, in

favour of intangibles, to a degree requiring fundamental review of the trading environment,

D.  whereas electronic commerce is only one of many activities undertaken on the Internet, www and
related networks; whereas rules and Regulations for these networks should therefore take all of these
activities into account, such as information exchange, research cooperation, conferences, chats as well
as corporate and personal websites,

E.  whereas electronic commerce is developing rapidly at both European and international level, driven
by the unique character of the Internet; whereas the development of electronic commerce is expected
to continue during the years to come, constituting one of the cornerstones of the Information Society;
whereas electronic commerce is essentially global in nature and thus will contribute to the ongoing
globalization of the economy,

F.  whereas trade will have a major impact on European economies and could improve competitiveness

on condition that the Internet is universally accessible,

G.  whereas there is already a relatively predictable and clear international legal environment (GATS) for

the provision of electronic services,

H.  whereas national taxation systems so far have been rooted in traditional commerce and have been in
the process of being revised for the past decade; whereas electronic commerce will contribute to the
development of deeper and further changes in these systems; whereas consistent taxation approaches
at international level are absolutely crucial to ensure the effectiveness of taxation laws on the Internet,

I.  whereas electronic commerce enhances the opportunity to expand and refine the dialogue between
producers and consumers, thereby improving the quality of products as well as pre- and after-sales
service,  and  will  have  the  potential  of  improving  Europe(cid:146)s  competitiveness  in  opening  up  new
business opportunities; whereas the dynamics of the market will change by broadening, accelerating
and facilitating customer choice, thereby creating new employment possibilities in both traditional
and new sectors,

J.  whereas new jobs are being created in the service industries as new services and new service needs

come into existence,

K.  whereas electronic commerce by its nature has the potential to support the creation and development
of small and medium-sized enterprises, through reducing costs and lowering the barriers to entry in
new  markets  for  these  companies,  and  whereas  electronic  commerce  will  only  become  fully
established in Europe if a large majority of small and medium-sized enterprises actually participate in
electronic commerce and communication,

L.  whereas  full  competition  in  the  telecommunications  market  as  well  as  in  the  access  and  service
provision markets is essential for the sound development of electronic commerce, and therefore the
full completion of the telecommunications liberalization from 1 January 1998 is vital,

M.  whereas a prerequisite for the development of electronic commerce in Europe is that businesses and
consumers become fully aware of its capacity to empower consumers and of all the potential benefits
it  has  to  offer,  such  as  the  opportunity  for  its  users  to  have  quick  and  cheap  access  to  goods  and
services,  and  for  enhancing  their  freedom  of  choice,  as  this  awareness  is  crucial  to  stimulate
investment  in  the  enabling  technologies  and  engagement  in  electronic  commerce;  whereas  the
promotion  of  universal  access  to  the  Information  Society,  the  use  of  electronic  commerce  and
information technologies will facilitate the awareness process,

C 167/206

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

1. 6. 98

Thursday 14 May 1998

N.  whereas the degree of use of information and communication technologies in the European Union

varies in the different Member States,

O.  whereas consumers will only be willing to use electronic commerce if they are convinced that it is as
safe and reliable as conducting transactions on the traditional market, and whereas ensuring secure
trading  in  the  on-line  environment  by  means  of  technologies  involving  encryption  and/or  digital
signatures is therefore essential,

P.  whereas privacy and a high level of consumer protection is a fundamental right of individuals and
should be safeguarded; whereas the rights of consumers have to be guaranteed and adapted to this new
environment,

Q.  whereas public administrations have an important role in promoting electronic commerce, both by
creating  the  right  framework  of  regulations  and  by  supportive  actions  such  as  making  use  of  the
Internet by carrying out public procurement and taxation activities on line, thereby greatly benefiting
from electronic commerce through simplified procedures and reduced paperwork, and in narrowing
the gap between citizens and administrations, making public services friendlier for the citizens,

R.  whereas the development of a regulatory environment for electronic commerce, considering the speed
of  its  development,  has  to  be  flexible,  allow  for  quick  adaptations  and  take  into  account  the
developments  of  the  market,  and  whereas  governments  should  encourage  and  support  industry
self-regulation  wherever  appropriate;  whereas,  however,  the  establishment  of  the  framework  for
action as well as final responsibilities remain with the public regulator,

S.  whereas unnecessary regulation of commercial activities will distort development of the electronic
marketplace by decreasing the supply and raising the cost of products and services for consumers the
world over,

T.  whereas existing laws and regulatory frameworks in the fields of commerce, telecommunications and

the media may need to be reviewed, in order to reflect the needs of electronic commerce,

U.  whereas  international  harmonization  and  interoperability  in  the  field  of  electronic  commerce  is
needed in order to avoid users becoming locked in specific solutions, and in order to benefit fully from
its global nature, inter alia through the existing standardization process, MRAs, de facto standards or
other appropriate mechanisms,

V.  whereas a process of technological and market convergence is underway in the telecommunications,
audiovisual and information technology sectors, and whereas this convergence is of key importance
to  the  development  of  electronic  commerce  in  that  it  creates  new  competitive  pressures  between
content and infrastructure industry, new degrees of convergence, but also new diversity within these
sectors,

W.  whereas  the  use  of  electronic  payments  will  help  to  reduce  the  frictions  associated  with  the
implementation  of  Economic  and  Monetary  Union,  by  lowering  the  costs  associated  with  the
transition to the euro and by speeding up its use; whereas a possible scenario may be the creation of a
parallel payment system outside of conventional banking,

X.  whereas electronic commerce has the potential to stimulate the development of the peripheral regions
and thereby contribute to regional cohesion within the European Union; whereas it also has a positive
social impact in that it makes access to electronic commerce easier for disabled people,

1. Welcomes  and  supports  the  Commission  communication  on  a  European  initiative  in  electronic
commerce, which provides a framework as well as guidance for European policy in the field of electronic
commerce and encourages its development; stresses that it is vital, in the interests of the competitiveness
of  European  industry  in  the  field  of  electronic  commerce,  that  European  businesses,  and  hence  also
citizens, should be able to derive full benefit from the internal market;

Believes  that  the  increased  use  of  electronic  commerce  will  have  an  impact  on  employment;
2.
therefore  supports  the  Commission(cid:146)s  initiative  to  investigate  and  report  in  the  form  of  studies  on  the
employment effects of electronic commerce; these studies are to be carried out rapidly and communicated
to the European Parliament as well as to the Member States;

3.
Considers that every possible effort must be made to exploit the potential for new job creation in
high-grade information-based services by introducing new and special education and training facilities to
impart these new skills;

4.
Considers that electronic commerce possesses enormous potential but that precautions should also
be taken to deal with the anticipated structural changes, particularly in such sectors as the retail trade,
marketing and tourism; calls for SMEs, in particular, to be prepared for the conversion process by means
of training and further training measures, by means of appropriate research and development programmes
funded by the Commission and by means of information about the necessity of this development;

Stresses the paramount importance of increasing skills and awareness of consumers and businesses
5.
in  the  European  Union  of  the  nature  and  possibilities  of  electronic  commerce,  and  considers  that
government  plays  an  important  role  in  this  in  view  of  its  statutory  powers  in  the  field  of  education;
therefore encourages the creation of education networks, the provision of new incentives for training, as
well as the improvement of knowledge diffusion and learning methods and, on account of the pioneering
role  which  government  can  play,  both  in  the  way  in  which  it  organizes  its  own  departments  and  in
encouraging the use of electronic commerce in society, considers it important that government services
should be made available electronically, both for citizens and for businesses, especially SMEs;

6.
Recognizes that electronic commerce provides SMEs with the opportunity to reach new and distant
markets  and  identify  new  market  segments  at  lower  costs,  and  enhances  possibilities  to  develop
cooperative schemes; in order to improve the possibilities for this development, asks for specific actions
for  SMEs  at  European  level,  such  as  the  establishment  of  Web-based  business  directory  services,
intensification  of  the  Euro-Info  Centres(cid:146)  awareness  activities  on  electronic  commerce,  as  well  as  the
setting up of a quality label covering a number of requirements in order to increase consumer confidence
towards products and services from relatively unknown smaller companies;

Urges the Commission and the governments of the Member States to seek international agreements
7.
in this area and stresses that international policy coordination is especially needed regarding issues such as
taxation, liability, payment systems, security, data protection, interoperability, IPR, public procurement,
contract  law,  regulated  professions,  commercial  communications  and  electronic  authentication/digital
signatures; in this context, asks for clarification at international level of the respective responsibilities of
different international bodies in the field of electronic commerce; recommends that national initiatives in
the field of electronic commerce should be mutually coordinated;

Stresses that greater cooperation, particularly between EU States and Eastern European States, is

8.
desirable in the field of electronic transactions;

Considers that the future organization of the Internet, and the associated consequences for electronic

commerce,  are  of  strategic  importance  to  the  development  of  electronic  commerce  in  Europe,  and
advocates  the  setting-up  of  a  worldwide,  market-based  system  to  register,  assign  and  manage  Internet
domain names, which system should take full account of the geographical and functional diversity of the
Internet;

10.
Calls  for  the  investigation  of  the  possibilities  and  necessities  of  the  creation  of  an  international
universal commercial code in the area of electronic commerce, to be negotiated within the WTO context;
this code should include all issues that have not yet been resolved by international agreements such as
taxation, place of establishment, liability and payment systems;

11.
Calls, however, for coordination at European Union level in order to avoid fragmentation of the
Internal Market, and for he establishment of an appropriate European regulatory framework as well as a
common  and  strong  negotiating  position,  and  stresses  the  importance  of  a  simple,  minimalist  and
predictable legal framework for electronic commerce; calls on the Commission to make proposals without
delay  to  ensure  the  proper  functioning  of  the  internal  market  in  the  field  of  electronic  commerce  and
complete freedom for European enterprises to provide services, and in particular to ensure that enterprises
which  meet  the  legal  requirements  in  their  country  of  origin  can  transact  business  freely  throughout
Europe;

Calls  for  improved  internal  organization  in  the  creation  of  a  single  point  of  coordination,
12.
responsible to all European institutions and calling on relevant specialist services of the Commission for
support in combining the different parts of the European strategy for electronic commerce, which may
include  regulation,  taxation,  international  harmonization,  skills  and  awareness,  employment  impact,
online-crime, consumer dialogue and industry dialogue;

13.
Encourages  governments  and  the  Commission  to  make  constructive  use  of  input  from  industry,
consumer associations and other interest groups while setting up a legal and regulatory environment for
electronic commerce; this regulatory framework should not hinder its rapid development but should also
ensure  that  consumers  have  access  to  electronic  commerce  and  must  therefore  be  flexible  and  ensure
technology neutrality and be beneficial for both suppliers and users; it must also promote interoperability
between  systems  and  allow  for  self-regulatory  measures  to  ensure  speed  and  flexibility  whenever
possible;

14.
Urges  the  Commission  to  speed  up  the  process  of  presenting  a  proposal  for  a  Directive  on
information society services, including electronic commerce, in order to clarify the regulatory framework
and  to  safeguard  the  rights  of  the  users  of  electronic  commerce;  stresses  that  such  a  Directive  should
include  for  example  the  definition  of  the  place  of  establishment  for  service  providers  in  the  on-line
environment  and  the  place  of  transaction,  liability,  commercial  communications  and  regulated  profes-
sions.  In  order  to  ensure  transparency  and  coordination,  any  other  issues  in  the  area  of  electronic
commerce where Community initiatives may be envisaged (such as patents, trademarks, domain names,
jurisdiction as well as the clarification of the legal role of information security involving the aspects of
confidentiality,  authenticity  and  integrity)  should  be  clearly  indicated  on  a  (cid:145)road  map(cid:146)  with  a  detailed
timetable;

15.
Emphasizes the vital and urgent need to resolve in an internationally acceptable manner the precise
legal and accounting nature of intangible materials traded on electronic networks in order to resolve issues
of legislation, taxation, corporate accounting and consumer redress;

16.
Acknowledges  the  horizontal  nature  of  the  liability  problem,  covering  diverse  issues  such  as
copyright, consumer protection, trademarks, misleading advertising, protection of personal data, product
liability,  obscene  content,  hate  speech,  etc.;  looks  forward  in  this  regard  to  the  coming  Commission
Directive  on  information  society  services,  including  electronic  commerce,  which  should  address  this
problem amongst others;

Asks the Commission to present a proposal on how to solve certain aspects of contract law in view
17.
of the new problems that arise in a transfrontier and networked environment, including the recognition of
on-line contracts and the determination of when and where a contract is concluded as well as the necessary
clarification on which laws are applicable to contracts, taking into account uniform rules on freedom of
choice and the role of mandatory rules;

1. 6. 98

C 167/209

Thursday 14 May 1998

18.
Is looking forward to the discussions in the context of the recently adopted proposal for a Directive
on copyright (COM(97)0628) (1), recognizing the complexity of dealing with intellectual property rights
in an electronic medium; demands that any rules to protect intellectual property rights should balance the
interests  of  right  holders  and  users,  and  believes  that  defining  exceptions  for  fair  use  is  essential  for
electronic commerce;

19.
Urges the Commission and Council to continue and complete as soon as possible the harmonization
of national consumer legislation concerning the sale of goods and services (e.g. harmonization of statutory
guarantees  after  the  sale  of  goods,  and  distance  selling  of  financial  services)  with  the  aim  of  giving
consumers  the  necessary  confidence  to  make  use  of  electronic  commerce  and  thereby  derive  greater
benefit from the internal market;

20.
Urges the Commission and the Member States to work at international level to create coherence in
taxation laws › particularly with regard to value added tax › in order to provide legal certainty, to avoid
undue revenue losses and to ensure neutrality;

Believes that new taxes should not be imposed on electronic commerce which would penalize it

21.
compared to other trading activities;

Asks the Commission to clarify whether electronic commerce trading should be taxed according to
22.
the traditional system or whether new realities on the Internet create worldwide challenges that require a
complete reformulation of all tax principles (eg. definition of territorial concepts, rules of origin, sourcing
of income);

23.
Stresses that an agreement has to be reached at European level concerning taxation issues, in order
to create a clear and common framework for taxation in the area of electronic commerce › preferably
through  the  use  of  a  single  VAT  rate;  furthermore,  asks  for  clarification  concerning  the  question  of
whether taxation should take place in the country of origin or in the country of destination; encourages
also tax authorities to work together to develop a consistent cross-border approach; stresses its view that
discussions are necessary in the international arena on questions of customs and taxation;

24.
Recalls  that  building  trust  and  confidence  in  citizens  is  a  key  element  for  the  promotion  of
electronic commerce and that privacy is an essential element in the creation of confidence; points out that
EU Directive 95/46/EC on Data Protection, which will be fully transposed by October 1998, provides a
framework for the issue of privacy; stresses however that the implementation of this Directive must be
monitored very carefully in order not to create unnecessary barriers and to ensure a flexible approach;

25.
Affirms furthermore that issues concerning the protection of privacy and data protection should
preferably be negotiated at global level, with an initiative being launched within the multilateral context of
the WTO, with a view to agreeing binding rules concerning the effective protection of privacy; does not
exclude  the  possibility  of  consultation  in  other  fora,  such  as  the  OECD  and  the  UN,  concerning  this;
suggests also that industry self-regulation should be promoted at international level to achieve the same
goal;

26.
Asks  in  the  meantime  the  Commission  to  negotiate  a  Mutual  Recognition  Agreement  with  the
United  States  on  data  protection,  as  a  first  step  towards  solving  the  current  difficulties  in  defining  a
common  approach;  also  asks  the  Commission  to  ensure  that  certain  principles  concerning  protective
standards are included in this negotiation process as well as notice and consent issues and clarification of
use and re-use of personal information. The European Parliament should be involved in this process;

27.
Recognizes  the  blurring  of  the  distinction  between  information  and  advertising  as  well  as  the
enhanced  possibilities  for  tracking  and  tracing  individuals,  with  related  problems  of  privacy  and
protection  of  data,  the  risk  of  misuse  of  consumer  profiles  and  the  lack  of  cross-border  redress;  urges
therefore the Commission to present a proposal on how to establish a cross-border redress system;

Stresses  that  the  most  effective  means  known  of  user  defence  against  on-line  crime  are  strong
encryption technologies, and that access to these technologies should therefore be ensured for businesses
and  citizens,  and  limits  to  the  use  of  encryption  should  be  avoided;  points  out  also  that  current  EU
legislation  (Article  19  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  3381/94  setting  up  a  Community  regime  for  the
control  of  exports  of  dual-use  goods (1)),  which  requires  Member  States  to  control  intra-Community
shipments  of  cryptography  products,  is  not  compatible  with  a  well-functioning  internal  market  and  is
outdated in this political and technical context; considers therefore that this Regulation should be amended
so  as  to  eliminate  gradually  intra-Community  controls  on  cryptography  products,  thereby  enabling
cryptography products for commercial and private purposes to circulate freely;

29.
Encourages the establishment by the EU and its Member States of an adequate and comprehensive
industrial  policy  in  the  field  of  cryptography  products  and  digital  signatures  along  the  lines  of  the
abovementioned Commission communication on ensuring security and trust in electronic communication
› towards a European framework for digital signatures and encryption;

30.
Is in favour of applying the Internal Market approach when regulating digital signatures, in order to
establish minimum requirements at Community level and safeguard their free circulation; this could be
done through the use of cross-border legal recognition of digital signatures, preferably on the basis of
home country control and mutual recognition or, if necessary, by use of EU harmonization; highlights that
standardization has an important role to play as a facilitator of mutual recognition of digital signatures;

31.
Calls for international police and justice coordination to combat crime and fraud in the cyberspace;
encourages  furthermore  systems  of  policing  to  be  put  in  place,  enabling  the  tracking  of  suspected
criminals in an appropriate way without impeding the legitimate commercial and private use of strong
encryption;

32.
Supports  the  creation  of  an  international  arbitration  mechanism,  self-regulated  by  industry,  for
settling disputes on electronic commerce transactions when the existing settlement bodies prove not to be
appropriate;

33.
Stresses the importance of technologies ensuring safe means of electronic payment and asks the
Commission  to  propose  the  establishment  of  a  framework  which  allows  both  banks  and  non-bank
financial institutions to issue stored value and electronic payment products in Europe on a competitive
basis within an interoperable system, under the supervision of the future ECB which will have the duty of
managing monetary policy; considers it necessary to explore, in the interests of protecting privacy, the
possibility  of  making  payments  via  the  Internet  anonymously,  i.e.  without  the  payer(cid:146)s  identity  being
recorded;

34.
Affirms  that  the  fifth  framework  programme  for  research  must  include,  under  the  heading
(cid:145)user-friendly information society(cid:146), support for development of technical standards specific to electronic
commerce (electronic signature, encryption) and for generic network technologies such as database access
management,  search  engines  for  access  to  vast  arrays  of  distributed  information,  and  network
management; calls also for the fifth framework programme and the research programmes of the Member
States and regions to include efforts to boost technical capacity so as to reduce costs;

35.
Reminds  the  Commission  that  the  new  interactive  services  for  electronic  commerce  raise  the
demand  for  higher  band  networks,  second-generation  Internet  and  multimedia  technology.  These
developments should be taken into consideration both in the fifth framework research programme and in
the TEN programme. Both satellite and cable technology should be kept under consideration;

36.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission and the Council.

9.  Improvements in functioning of institutions

A4-0117/98

Resolution  on  improvements  in  the  functioning  of  the  Institutions  without  modification  of  the
Treaties › making EU policies more open and democratic

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to its resolutions on the outcomes of the Intergovernmental Conferences, in particular
that of 7 April 1992 (1), and its resolution of 19 November 1997 on the Amsterdam Treaty › CONF
4007/97 › C4-0538/97 (2),

›  having regard to its resolution of 10 December 1996 on participation by citizens and social players in

the Union(cid:146)s institutional system (3),

›  having regard to its resolution of 2 April 1998 on democratic accountability during the third stage of

EMU (4),

›  having regard to its other resolutions in which it has called for a reinforced role for the European
Parliament,  including  by  means  of  interinstitutional  agreements,  in  a  number  of  EU  policy  areas
where the European Parliament is not formally consulted,

›  having regard to the European Council meeting of 2 and 3 May 1998 in Brussels,

›  having regard to Rule 148 of its Rules of Procedure,

›  having regard to the report of its Committee on Institutional Affairs and the opinion of the Committee

on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy (A4-0117/98),

A.  whereas the democratic deficit is one of the reasons for discontent with the Union,

B.  whereas democratic control is not being ensured in certain areas, either by the national parliaments or

by the European Parliament,

Practical action to reduce the democratic deficit after the Maastricht and Amsterdam Intergovernmen-
tal Conferences

Considers it to be unacceptable that there are EU policy areas in which powers of democratic control
1.
have been taken away from national parliaments and have not been replaced by scrutiny by the European
Parliament,  especially  Economic  and  Monetary  Union,  but  also  the  common  commercial  policy,
agreements  stemming  from  the  Euratom  Treaty,  agricultural  policy,  fisheries  policy,  development
cooperation  policy,  competition  policy  and  Community  implementation  of  collective  agreements
negotiated between the social partners;

2.
Regrets the failure to ensure appropriate Treaty changes in these respects at the Amsterdam IGC, and
calls for this failure to be compensated, at least for the period until a future IGC, by arrangements that
ensure that the European Parliament is properly informed and adequately involved in the development of
these policies, with a view to strengthening democratic control in those areas and making Community
action more effective and transparent;

Believes that the conclusion of interinstitutional agreements is the most appropriate way to achieve

3.
this objective of reinforced democratic control at EU level;

4.
Believes that the 1998 ad hoc procedure on agricultural expenditure must be continued and argues
that this procedure and its structure should be formalized by a new interinstitutional agreement, which
should reflect the latest developments in the procedure;

5.
Considers that improvements in the political functioning of Parliament itself are needed in order to
make it more open, effective and lively and to enhance the dialogue between the Institutions, and instructs
its Committee on the Rules of Procedure to submit appropriate proposals;

Economic and Monetary Union

Considers that Economic and Monetary Union poses major questions of democratic accountability
6.
which have been further accentuated by the recent introduction of the Stability and Growth Pact, and have
not  in  any  way  been  compensated  by  the  Amsterdam  Treaty,  nor  by  the  compromises  reached  on
employment  at  the  Amsterdam  and  (special)  Luxembourg  European  Councils,  to  which  concrete
expression must be given;

Regrets that previous European Parliament attempts to secure an interinstitutional agreement in this

7.
area have not been followed through;

8.
Considers  it  now  to  be  essential  to  tackle  the  twin  issues  of  democratic  accountability  of  the
European Central Bank and of wider consultation procedures as regards EU-level coordination of national
economic policies;

9.
Believes that the European Parliament should be fully informed to enable it to inform the Council
and  the  European  Central  Bank  of  its  analyses  and  preferred  courses  of  action  as  regards  general  and
strategic  policy  aspects  of  EMU  and  in  particular  as  regards  consistency  between  the  broad  economic
policy guidelines, monetary policy and employment policies;

10.
Calls,  in  this  context,  for  the  Council  to  enter  into  negotiations  for  a  new  interinstitutional
agreement providing for more systematic procedures as regards the European Parliament contribution to
the setting of the broad economic policy guidelines pursuant to Article 103(2), multilateral surveillance
pursuant to Article 103(3) and (4) and the excessive deficit procedure pursuant to Article 104c;

Submits  the  attached  draft  interinstitutional  agreement  (see  Annex)  as  an  initial  basis  for

11.
discussions with the Council and Commission;

International agreements

Regrets  that  its  role  in  the  field  of  external  economic  policy  has  not  been  improved  by  the
12.
Amsterdam  Treaty,  notably  the  fact  that  the  European  Parliament  is  not  even  formally  consulted  on
agreements based on Article 113, especially considering the role Parliament has as an arm of the budgetary
authority;

Asks the Commission and the Council to take account of the fact that any international agreement
13.
with financial implications requires at the very least prior consultation of Parliament, and its assent, as part
of the budgetary authority, if the financial implications are significant;

14.
Calls,  in  consequence,  for  the  European  Parliament  to  be  given  more  systematic  information
concerning the separate phases of preparation, adoption and implementation of negotiating guidelines for
external agreements, and as to how the negotiations themselves are proceeding;

Believes  that  better  information  also  needs  to  be  provided  to  the  European  Parliament  on

15.
proceedings within the Article 113 committee;

16.
Again  expresses  its  concern  about  the  undemocratic  nature  of  the  Euratom  Treaty,  and  that  the
European  Parliament  is  not  being  consulted  on  certain  international  agreements  stemming  from  the
Euratom  Treaty,  such  as  the  Accession  Agreement  to  the  Korean  Peninsula  Energy  Development
Organization (KEDO);

17.
Calls for an interinstitutional agreement for the European Parliament to be formally consulted on all
international agreements falling under the Euratom Treaty, and insists that, pursuant to the Interinstitu-
tional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budget procedure (1), the Commission
informs the Budgetary Authority prior to the conclusion of the agreement of its financial consequences for
the EU budget;

Thursday 14 May 1998

18.
Considers that, in view of the fact that in international fisheries agreements important budgetary
implications are always involved, Article 228(3), second subparagraph, of the Treaty, which requires the
assent of Parliament, should always apply;

Social policy: collective agreements between the social partners

19.
Believes that an important institutional problem is posed by the fact that decisions provided for in
Articles 118a and 118b of the EC Treaty on social agreements of such significance as those on parental
leave  and  on  part-time  work  can  be  taken  without  the  European  Parliament  being  consulted  or  even
informed;

20.
Calls for an interinstitutional agreement to redress this situation in such a way that the European
Parliament  is  involved  in  consultation  initiatives  from  the  outset  by  providing  for  it  to  receive  all  the
relevant texts and to be given more information by the Commission as to the progress of negotiations, and
also to be given the opportunity to express its views when the Council has to take a decision pursuant to
Article 118b;

Competition policy

21.
Calls  on  the  Commission  formally  to  undertake  to  send  the  European  Parliament  all  draft
Commission implementing proposals in the field of Community competition policy, such as draft block
exemptions pursuant to Article 85(3) of the Treaty and Commission initiatives taken pursuant to Article
90(3) of the Treaty affecting public undertakings;

22.
Further  calls  for  the  regular  information  meetings  already  organized  by  the  Commissioner  for
Competition with the members of the European Parliament(cid:146)s relevant committee to become a matter of
standard practice for the future;

23.
If a decision cannot be reached by way of the normal procedure, insists on an agreement between
the European Parliament, the Commission and the Council on codes of conduct in the field of fiscal policy;

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and the parliaments

24.
and governments of the Member States.

D.  The  President  of  the  Council  shall  appear  before  the  responsible  committee  of  the  European
Parliament  in  order  to  inform  it  of  the  conclusion  reached  by  the  European  Council  on  the  broad
guidelines  of  the  economic  policies  of  the  Member  States  and  of  the  Community.  The  European
Parliament may organize a second debate in order to assess the content of the recommendation in
relation to its initial resolution and shall, if necessary, adopt a second resolution.

Multilateral surveillance procedure (Article 103(3) and (4) of the Treaty)

E.  The  Commission  shall  forward  to  the  European  Parliament  and  the  Council  reports  on  economic
developments in each of the Member States and on the consistency of national economic policies with
the broad guidelines and, where it is established that the economic policies of a Member State are not
consistent with the broad guidelines or that they risk jeopardizing the proper functioning of economic
and monetary union, its recommendations. The European Parliament shall debate the Commission(cid:146)s
recommendations and adopt an initial resolution, which shall be forwarded to the Council.

F. 

If the Council establishes that the economic policies of a Member State are not consistent with the
broad  outlines,  it  may,  taking  into  account  the  resolution  of  the  European  Parliament,  make  the
necessary recommendations to the Member State concerned.

G.  The  recommendations  shall  be  made  public.  The  President  of  the  Council  shall  appear  before  the

Excessive deficit procedure (Article 104c of the Treaty)

H.  The Commission shall forward to the European Parliament and the Council the reports drawn up as
part of its monitoring of the development of the budgetary situation and of the stock of government
debt in the Member States as well as the opinions formulated in cases of an excessive deficit or of the
risk of such a deficit. The European Parliament shall debate these reports and opinions. In cases of
excessive deficits, it shall adopt an initial resolution, which it shall forward to the Council before a
decision is adopted.

I.  The  Council  shall  decide  whether  an  excessive  deficit  exists  in  a  Member  State  and,  taking  into
account the resolution of the European Parliament, shall make recommendations to the Member State
concerned with a view to bringing that situation to an end within a given period.

J.  The  President  of  the  Council  shall  appear  before  the  responsible  committee  of  the  European

adopt a second resolution.

K.  The recommendations adopted by the Council shall be made public where no effective action has been

taken in response to the recommendations within the period laid down.

L.  If a Member State persists in failing to put into practice the recommendations of the Council, in spite
of the notice given by the Council pursuant to Article 104c(9), and if the Member State concerned
does not adopt measures for the reduction of the deficit, the Council may, after giving the European
Parliament an opportunity to deliver its opinion on the measures envisaged, decide to apply one or
more of the sanctions provided for in Article 104c(11).

M.  The  President  of  the  Council  shall  appear  before  the  responsible  committee  of  the  European
Parliament  in  order  to  inform  it  of  the  decisions  taken  pursuant  to  Article  104c(11)  of  the  Treaty.
It shall also inform it of any derogation from some or all of the decisions taken.

Final provisions

N.  The  content  of  this  agreement  may  not  be  amended  without  the  consent  of  all  the  signatory

institutions.

10. Situation in Sudan

B4-0498, 0506, 0523, 0534, 0539, 0541 and 0552/98

Resolution on the situation in Sudan

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to the declaration made by the Presidency of the European Union on 1 May 1998,

›  having regard to its previous resolutions on the persistent civil war and human rights violations in

Sudan,

A.  extremely concerned by the continuing deterioration in the humanitarian situation in southern Sudan,
in particular in the region of Bhar-al-Ghazal, where 350 000 people are threatened with starvation, and
aware that the drought may well exacerbate the situation,

B.  recognizing that, although the El Nin(cid:152)o weather phenomenon has caused a severe drought, the present
crisis is primarily the result of the devastating war and of obstruction by the Sudanese Government
forces of relief supplies sent in under the UN(cid:146)s Operation Lifeline,

C.  concerned at the escalation of the civil war, which is particularly affecting southern Sudan, causing
increased human suffering among displaced civilian communities, giving rise to an ever-increasing
number of refugees and bringing about the collapse of economic and social structures,

D.  deploring  the  persistent  serious  human  rights  abuses  and  violations  inflicted  on  the  defenceless

civilian population by all the belligerents,

E.  recalling in particular its condemnation of the repressive and anti-democratic measures taken by the
Sudanese Government, which have taken the form of manifold violations of human rights, especially
of  political  and  religious  rights,  forced  conscription  of  the  population,  support  for  international
terrorist activities, and contempt for the warnings given and the repeated sanctions imposed on it by
the international community on many occasions,

F.  deeply  concerned  at  the  many  cases  of  political  and  religious  persecution  by  the  Sudanese
Government, and particularly worried as to the fate of the political prisoners who are being held in
deplorable conditions,

G.  indignant at the Sudanese Government(cid:146)s deliberate policy of hindering the supply of humanitarian
aid, thereby depriving the suffering people of the food aid they so desperately require, and concerned
that  humanitarian  agencies  have  frequently  been  denied  access  and  cannot,  therefore,  provide  the
humanitarian aid needed in the war zones, and whereas the recent authorization of seven humanitarian
cargo  flights  by  Khartoum  represents  only  a  very  marginal  concession  that  could  be  ended  at  any
moment,

H.  reiterating its firm belief that the peace initiative of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development
(IGAD) is the most effective platform to achieve a permanent resolution of the Sudanese conflict, and
recalling that, at the end of the negotiations held in early May 1998 in Nairobi under the aegis of
IGAD,  the  Sudanese  Government  and  the  rebel  Sudanese  People(cid:146)s  Liberation  Army  reached
agreement  on  the  principle  of  a  referendum  on  self-determination,  supervised  by  the  international

Notes the outcome of the negotiations held in Nairobi under the aegis of IGAD which enshrines the
Sudanese Government(cid:146)s recognition of the right of the peoples in southern Sudan to self-determination but
regrets  that  the  persistent  fundamental  divergences  between  the  parties  are  at  present  threatening  the
viability of that agreement;

2.
Takes the view that no major advance will be made in the peace process until a ceasefire has been
definitively proclaimed; calls, in this context, for an immediate ceasefire and once again urges all parties
to the conflict in Sudan to stop using famine to further their political and military ends and to search for
and establish a lasting peace that will bring the human suffering in Sudan to an end;

3.
Strongly  supports  the  IGAD  regional  peace  initiative  and  urges  all  parties  to  the  conflict  to
participate fully and positively in this peace process, namely in the next round of negotiations in three
months(cid:146) time in Addis Ababa; calls in this context on the parties to come to an early agreement on the
procedures for the referendum, in particular the region(cid:146)s boundaries and the issue of the separation of
religion and state;

Calls on the international community, and the EU in particular, to support the IGAD peace process

not to rescind their decision to lift the plethora of restrictions that they had previously imposed on the
supply of humanitarian aid, however the political and military situation may develop;

6. Welcomes the Commission(cid:146)s new allocation of ECU 8,8 million to (cid:145)Echo-Flight(cid:146), since that will
guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid until March 1999, and urges the Commission to step up the aid
granted to the NGOs supplying humanitarian aid to Sudanese civilians;

releasing unconditionally all political prisoners and extraditing to Ethiopia the three persons suspected of
involvement in the assassination attempt on President Mubarak of Egypt;

9.
Insists  that  sanctions  should  be  maintained  against  the  Sudanese  Government,  including  the
suspension  of  all  European  Union  development  aid  except  for  urgent  humanitarian  assistance,  until
verifiable improvements in human rights observance by the Sudanese authorities have been made and a
comprehensive political process initiated aimed at democratization;

10.
Reiterates  its  call  on  the  IMF  and  other  financial  institutions  to  make  the  granting  of  financial

Proposes  to  send  a  delegation  from  its  Committee  on  Development  and  Cooperation  on  a
fact-finding  mission  to  Sudan,  on  the  understanding  that  the  members  of  that  delegation  would  have
unrestricted access to all areas of Sudan;

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the Co-Presidents

and nuclear security (3),

›  having regard to the Commission communication of March 1998 entitled (cid:145)Improving nuclear safety in

Central and Eastern Europe and the NIS(cid:146),

A.  whereas the development of the energy sector in the European Union and the countries of Central and

Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union is of strategic importance,

B.  whereas each state has the right to decide for itself on its primary energy,

C.  whereas in many of these countries nuclear energy plays an important role in domestic fuel supplies;
referring  in  particular,  however,  to  its  repeated  calls  for  the  highest  priority  to  be  given  in  the
production of nuclear power to safety and to the protection of the population from nuclear risks,

and the former Soviet Union as far as it can to improve safety standards in existing nuclear power
plants,

F.  whereas the European Parliament came to the conclusion in 1995, after an expert hearing, that serious
doubts still remained about the future safety of the Mochovce nuclear power plant, particularly in
view of the absence of containment,

G.  whereas the upgrading of a VVER 440-213 reactor at a late stage has never yet been carried out, and
whereas  the  completion  of  a  plant  of  this  kind  in  Greifswald  (Germany)  was  abandoned  on  the
grounds of excessive cost,

H.  concerned at the Slovak Government(cid:146)s plans to start up the Mochovce nuclear power plant in a few

inter  alia,  the  safety  aspects  of  the  Mochovce  power  station,  and  whereas  in  this  context  the
Commission, at the request of the Slovak licensing authorities, instructed the national board of experts
to support the Slovak authorities,

J.  whereas  an  OECD  study  reveals  great  scope  in  the  Slovak  energy  economy  for  improving  energy

power plants; expects, therefore, that if Mochovce is started up, the Bohunice nuclear power plant will
immediately be shut down;

against the Chinese, and, on the 49th day of the strike, the Indian police decided to detain the six
pursuant to a law forbidding suicide,

B.  deeply shocked by the fact that, when the police intervened, Thunpten Ngodup, an elderly Tibetan
who had been looking after the strikers from the start, set fire to himself as a sign of protest and later
died in a New Delhi hospital,

C.  having regard to the six hunger strikers(cid:146) calls to the United Nations for:

Asks the Commission and the Council to take the necessary initiatives at international level to ban all

illegal and inhumane trade in human organs;

Reiterates  its  total  opposition  to  the  death  penalty  and  its  determination  to  persuade  the  United

7.
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the governments
and  parliaments  of  the  Member  States,  the  authorities  of  the  People(cid:146)s  Republic  of  China,  and  the
Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Resolution on death sentences in Myanmar (Burma)

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to its previous resolutions on Burma,

A.  concerned  that  six  prisoners  whom  Amnesty  International  considers  to  have  been  incarcerated  on

political grounds were sentenced to death in Burma last week,

B.  concerned  that  these  are  the  first  known  political  prisoners  to  have  received  the  death  penalty  in

several years and that, according to reports, 20 more prisoners have died in custody,

C.  whereas  Burmese  troops  also  regularly  extra-judicially  execute  members  of  ethnic  minorities  in

counter-insurgency activities,

1.
Calls on the Burmese Government to abolish the death penalty, not to apply the death penalty for the
abovementioned cases and to release all political prisoners unless criminal charges can be substantiated
under democratic and fair legal procedures;

Calls on the Council and the governments of the Member States to put pressure on business and

2.
industry in order to dissuade them from making any financial investments in Burma;

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and the Government

13. Code of conduct for arms exports

B4-0502, 0505, 0520, 0522, 0529 and 0546/98

Resolution on a code of conduct for arms exports

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to its previous resolutions on an EU code of conduct on the export or transfer of arms,
especially  its  resolution  of  15  January  1998 (1)  and  the  resolution  adopted  by  the  ACP/EU  Joint
Assembly on 21 April 1998,

A.  whereas the UK and French governments have taken the initiative to establish an EU code of conduct
on  arms  sales  and  have  circulated  a  draft  proposal  for  such  a  code,  with  the  intention  of  securing
agreement at the General Affairs Council on 25 May 1998,

B.  noting that one of the major aims of the code of conduct should be to prevent the flow of arms from
EU  Member  States  to  countries  which  violate  human  rights,  to  regions  of  instability  and  to  major
aggressors,

C.  emphasizing that the present proposal for the code of conduct must be considered as a first major step
towards further restricting exports from the European Union and towards true multilateral regulation
of  arms  exports,  but  concerned  that  the  final  draft  proposal  should  set  the  common  standards
sufficiently  high  and  leave  no  room  for  subjective  interpretation,  provide  strong  consultation
mechanisms and make reference to parliamentary scrutiny with adequate provisions for controlling
third-party brokering and end-use,

D.  convinced that any such code of conduct will be all the more successful when the other main arms
exporters, such as the USA, but also the Russian Federation and China, agree to similar rules,

1. Welcomes the initiative to establish a code of conduct for arms transfers as well as the intensive
negotiations which are taking place to arrive at an agreement during the British Presidency;

2.
Calls  on  the  Council  and  the  Member  States,  however,  to  improve  the  prevailing  situation  by
agreeing  on  consultation  mechanisms  which  ensure  that  all  Member  States  are  swiftly  informed  of
approvals and denials of export licences, and that any Member State intending to undercut a decision by
another is obliged to inform and consult with all other Member States about its intention;

3.
Calls on Member States to ensure that the export guidelines clearly state the precise circumstances
under  which  export  licences  should  be  denied  and  that  licences  will  not  be  granted  for  the  export  of
equipment which may be used for internal repression and human rights violations;

Calls on Member States to agree a comprehensive list of military and dual-use goods to which the

4.
code will apply;

5.
Calls on the Council and the Member States to improve the draft proposal by ensuring transparency
and parliamentary scrutiny at EU level by presenting to Parliament an annual report for public debate on
the basis of the Member States(cid:146) reports;

6.

Encourages the Member States with stricter arms export criteria to uphold their national policies;

7.
Asks that the code should include measures to establish an EU system of certifying and monitoring
end-use provisions so as to ensure that, once exported, arms remain with the stated end-user and are not
used in contravention of end-use assurances and the code(cid:146)s export guidelines;

9.
Calls on the Council and the Member States to encourage third countries, especially the associated
countries, to sign the code of conduct and to take steps with a view to obtaining similar policies by the
other main arms exporters;

Calls for the inclusion in the code of a clause on the subject of the export of arms to countries which

10.
do not abide by the UN Agreement on the Arms Register;

11.
Calls  on  the  Council  to  give  more  attention  to  combating  the  illegal  arms  trade  and  urges  the
Council to adhere to the undertaking it gave in June 1997 to revise the current programme within a year
and to adopt a concrete, effective programme of action;

Instructs  its  President  to  forward  this  resolution  to  the  Council,  the  Commission  and  the

governments of the Member States.

14. Environmental disasters

(a)  B4-0492, 0508, 0521, 0531 and 0548/98

Resolution on the environmental disaster caused by the breach in the tailings dam at the Aznalco·llar
mine (Seville), in the vicinity of the Don(cid:152) ana national park

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to Council Directive 85/337/EEC of 27 June 1985 on the assessment of the effects of
certain public and private projects on the environment (1), and the proposed Directive on Strategic
Environmental Assessments (COM(96)0511) (2),

›  having regard to the Ramsar Convention (wetlands of international importance),

A.  alarmed at the ecological, environmental, agricultural and social disaster caused by the breach in the
tailings  dam  at  the  Aznalco·llar  mine  (Seville),  owned  by  the  Swedish  multinational  company
Boliden-¯pirsa, in the vicinity of the Don(cid:152)ana national park,

B.  whereas the flow of over five million cubic metres of toxic waste has polluted 4 200 hectares of land,

including 2 000 hectares of farmland, affecting seven townships and 46 000 people,

C.  whereas the Don(cid:152)ana national park, which is the largest in Europe and was declared a Unesco World
Heritage site in 1994 and a special area of conservation under the Habitats Directive, is being seriously
affected by the flow of toxic waste, which must require precautions and special measures to be taken
to prevent the present situation from being repeated, either in the park or in the area around it,

D.  whereas the emergency measures taken have so far prevented the toxic flow from directly affecting
the heart of the Don(cid:152)ana national park, though it has affected the surrounding area and the Agrio and
Guadiamar rivers, while the long-term effects are as yet unknown,

E.  whereas  serious  damage  has  been  done  to  the  ecosystem,  agriculture,  fisheries  and  tourism  in  the

affected areas,

F.  whereas the Maastricht Treaty emphasizes the fundamental importance of Community environmental
protection and whereas the Amsterdam Treaty strengthens and consolidates the principles which form
the  basis  of  such  environmental  protection;  whereas,  in  addition,  the  Directive  on  wild  birds  is  of
particular relevance in the case of the environmental incident under consideration,

G.  whereas the company has recently been funded by the European Regional Development Fund,

1.

Expresses its solidarity with those affected;

Notes that the Spanish Government and the Andalusian Regional Government have set up a body to

2.
coordinate their efforts with a view to remedying the situation;

Considers it desirable to establish a scientific advisory and assessment committee within the Consejo

3.
Superior de Investigaciones Cient(cid:14)·ficas (Spain’s highest public research body);

Considers  it  essential  for  the  action  plan  which  is  currently  being  implemented  to  include
4.
arrangements for extracting and disposing of the contaminated mud in a way which complies as closely as
possible with EU environmental protection law;

5.
Recalls that hundreds of toxic chemical substances are to be found in numerous reservoirs in the EU,
more specifically in the North Sea and in the Baltic, and could bring about the same type of disaster;

6.
Considers that, as a matter of urgency, a plan to clean up the contaminated areas must be devised,
with EU observers, and arrangements for compensating the people and the economic activities affected
must be brought into operation immediately;

Calls  on  the  scientific  community,  environmental  groups  and  the  EU  institutions  to  provide  all

7.
necessary assistance and to take part in the major clean-up operation for the area;

Together with the relevant authorities, calls for the area to be granted special-interest status to allow
8.
the  targeting  of  initiatives  under  both  the  Cohesion  Fund  and  the  existing  Structural  Funds  (ERDF,
EAGGF, FIFG and ESF), with the prime objective of decontaminating and restoring the damaged area,
increasing  environmental  protection,  and  helping  the  local  people  affected  by  this  disaster.  The
Commission should, in this exceptional case, allow the co-financing for the cost of the structural recovery
measures to be charged directly to the mining company which caused the damage;

Considers  that  the  Swedish  Boliden-¯pirsa  company  should  accept  its  responsibilities  by

9.
compensating the victims and financing the clean-up of the areas affected by the disaster;

Calls on the Commission to arrange aid as a matter of urgency for the sectors affected economically

10.
and socially;

11.
Considers that the Commission should collaborate with the relevant authorities in the investigation
into the causes of this environmental disaster, and in ascertaining whether or not Community law on the
disposal of toxic waste and the (cid:145)Seveso’ Directive on the prevention of risks and pollution control have
been complied with;

12.
Calls on the Commission to tighten up the current laws on the authorization of such installations, so
as to ensure that they are located in safe, appropriate areas and are strictly prohibited in areas susceptible to
serious risk affecting both the population and the ecosystem in general;

Notes  that  the  proposed  Directive  on  Strategic  Environmental  Assessments,  currently  under

13.
consideration by Parliament, will hopefully help to prevent this kind of disaster in the future;

Calls on the Commission, when reviewing Community legislation on chemical products, to take

14.
waste issues into account in order to avoid similar spills;

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the Spanish

15.
Government.

Resolution on the floods in Campania (Italy)

The European Parliament,

A.  deeply  shocked  by  the  tragic  natural  disaster  which  occurred  on  5  May  1998  in  the  provinces  of
Avellino and Salerno, as a result of which over one hundred people lost their lives, dozens are missing
or wounded, and thousands have been evacuated,

B.  whereas in recent years hydrogeological degradation in Italy has worsened and, notwithstanding the
unusual speed and force with which events took place, the causes of the disaster include unbridled
urbanization, illegal building, the destruction of the area(cid:146)s woods and forests, the diversion of rivers
and  the  construction  work  along  river  courses,  all  of  which  have  profoundly  changed  the  natural
environment and which the local and national authorities have failed to take adequate steps to prevent,

C.  whereas a proper land protection policy should be formulated in Italy and in other European countries
with a view to preventing further natural disasters, particularly in regions such as Campania, in which
the hydrogeological balance is obviously precarious,

1.

Conveys its sympathy to the families of the victims;

2.
Calls for the evacuees to be provided with permanent housing without delay and for the Commission
to  take  appropriate  action  to  this  end  in  cooperation  with  the  Italian  authorities;  calls  furthermore  for
resolute action to be taken with a view to the immediate repair of infrastructures and the resumption of the
economic activities disrupted by the disaster;

3.
Draws  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  scale  of  this  disaster  and  the  shocking  death  toll  call  for  a
thorough, comprehensive assessment of political and administrative responsibilities and prevention and
civil protection activities at all levels;

4.
Calls  on  the  Commission  to  consider  the  possibility  of  making  a  Community  contribution  to
programmes aimed at building new homes and getting people back to work, which must be implemented
without delay;

5.
Calls on the relevant Italian authorities to ensure that appropriate measures are taken immediately to
draw up an up-to-date map of high-risk areas and, above all, that such areas are permanently monitored,
which will require the implementation of appropriate legislative and administrative measures;

Calls  on  the  Italian  Government  to  make  the  necessary  changes  to  the  present  allocation  of

6.
responsibility for land management;

7.
Calls  for  the  adoption  of  appropriate  Community  instruments  to  coordinate  the  various  civil
protection systems at European level, with a view to ensuring that the following are immediately on hand
and  operational  throughout  the  territory  of  the  Union  in  the  event  of  natural  disasters:  personnel,
resources, equipment, information and cartographical systems and rescue structures;

8.
Considers  that,  in  Italy  as  in  other  European  countries,  environmental  and  land  protection  policy
must become a government priority and that binding regional land management plans which, in particular,
put an end to illegal building and the endless spread of concrete must therefore be drawn up;

9.
Instructs  its  President  to  forward  this  resolution  to  the  Council,  the  Commission,  the  Italian
Government and Parliament, the chairman of the Campania Regional Council and the chairmen of the
Avellino and Salerno Provincial Councils.

15. Information and communication policy

A4-0115/98

Resolution on the information and communication policy in the European Union

The European Parliament,

›  having regard to its resolution of 17 September 1993  (1) on the information policy of the European

Union,

›  having regard to its resolution of 10 December 1996 on the participation of citizens and social players

in the European Union(cid:146)s institutional system (2),

›  having regard to its resolution of 19 November 1997 on the Amsterdam Treaty (3),

›  having regard to the 17th declaration on information made by the Member States in the annex to the

Treaty on European Union,

›  having regard to Rule 148 of its Rules of Procedure,

›  having regard to the report of the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education and the Media and the
opinions of the Committee on Budgets, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens(cid:146) Rights and the
Committee on Institutional Affairs (A4-0115/98),

A.  whereas a genuine information and communication policy at the level of the European institutions
must promote the objectives assigned to the European Union by the Treaties and awaken European
citizens  to  the  cause  of  European  integration;  whereas  it  must  be  based  on  the  principle  of  direct
dialogue with citizens,

B.  whereas the communication policy of the European Institutions urgently needs adaptation, a higher
profile  and  greater  effectiveness  as  a  (cid:145)conditio  sine  qua  non(cid:146)  for  obtaining  the  support  of  most
European citizens for the integration process,

C.  whereas, in view of the great events approaching the EU in the coming months, measures aimed at
information and communication with citizens urgently need to be adapted and stepped up in order to
increase awareness of the achievements and advantages of the Union and foster public support for the
forthcoming stages of the integration process,

D.  whereas the average participation in the elections to the European Parliament fell from 65,9% in 1979
to  58,5%  in  1994  and  whereas  an  increased  participation  in  the  elections  in  1999  is  absolutely
essential, given the growing powers of the European Parliament (extension of codecision powers) and
the importance of the political agenda (revision of the treaties, single currency, reform of agricultural
and cohesion policies, financing of the Union, enlargement),

E.  whereas participation in the European elections is hampered by an incomplete and/or negative picture
of the European Parliament in the media and public opinion and whereas that can only be changed
structurally  through  complete  openness  and  transparency  with  regard  to  the  operation  of  the
institution,

F.  whereas greater involvement by Members of the European Parliament in communication measures on
the  ground  would  help  to  increase  public  awareness  of  Parliament  and  bolster  public  interest  in
participating in the 1999 European elections,

G.  whereas  the  forthcoming  European  elections  in  June  1999,  the  information  campaign  of  the
Amsterdam  Treaty  and  the  realization  of  Economic  and  Monetary  Union  force  the  Union  to  an
intensified communication with the citizens,

H.  whereas information campaigns cannot consist in developing unilaterally and exclusively a specific

opinion on a proposal which does not meet with unanimous agreement,

I.  whereas  large  sections  of  the  population,  and  in  particular  the  least  favoured,  are  either  poorly  or
inadequately informed about the action and the establishment of the Union; whereas in these groups
there are negative feelings about Europe and whereas they should be a priority target group in any new
communications policy,

J.  whereas  the  negative  feelings  are  strengthened  by  the  dramatic  level  of  unemployment  and  social
exclusion, the lack of prospects for the future, the problems concerning the security of citizens and the
negative experience of the role of the EU in the world; whereas these negative feelings lead to new
forms of nationalism and intolerance, whereby the European project is called into question,

K.  whereas surveys have shown that women and young people in particular are very sceptical about the

European Union,

L.  whereas the complex and opaque decision-making procedures in the European Union are not such as
to facilitate communication with the citizens and whereas even the best communication strategies do
little to counteract it,

M.  whereas  the  information  and  communication  policy  should  be  consistent  and  effective;  for  this
purpose, it should be geared to the realities, demands and, even, constraints which characterize the
European Union and the modern-day world; to this end, it should be provided with a body that can
give it appropriate strategy guidelines, ensuring that the messages conveyed are clear, unambiguous
and easily accessible,

N.  whereas the Commission and the European Parliament have both common and separate objectives for
communication and whereas, depending on requirements, a common or individual communication
policy must be developed; whereas however, this intensified cooperation should leave each institution
sufficient autonomy to maintain the profile of its own roles and responsibilities,

O.  whereas good communication starts with clear use of language, including in the treaties, legislative
texts,  communications,  reports,  etc.;  whereas  each  European  institution  must  always  take  this  into
account,

P. 

recognizing that, in order to bring the Union closer to the people, it is essential for them to be able to
use  their  own  language  and  whereas,  therefore,  a  proper  information  and  communication  policy
should take due account of the multilingualism which is an integral part of the EU,

Q.  whereas the transparency of funding, the plurality of opinions and objectivity are essential guarantees

of the credibility of any information policy,

R.  whereas the European Union(cid:146)s information policy cannot make up for the lack of transparency and
democracy  in  the  institutions  and  decision-making  procedures;  whereas  the  complexity  and
non-transparency of procedures constitutes an unsurmountable obstacle to communication between
the institutions and citizens; regrets the ineffectiveness of the provisions adopted in Amsterdam to
remedy this state of affairs,

S.  whereas the enlargement of the European Union and the problems raised by the proposals made by the
Commission in (cid:145)Agenda 2000(cid:146) will create an additional demand on information in both the Member
states of the Union and the candidate member countries,

T.  whereas, in this context, it is the job of Parliament › more than any other institution › to give its
backing, as an Assembly made up of representatives who are directly elected by the general public, to
the decisions taken by the Assembly and its constituent bodies in the course of the parliamentary term,

U.  whereas the definition of a better European communication policy must take into account the new
instruments offered by the information society, the possibility of inter-active use of these instruments
and the development of an electronic democracy,

V.  whereas  the  impending  change  to  digital  is  likely  to  reinforce  television(cid:146)s  primacy  as  a  source  of

information to the citizen,

W.  whereas  information  and  communication  activities  should  not  be  considered  as  a  policy  by
themselves  but  a  support  for  the  Union  policies  and  thus,  the  Union  should  finance  methods  and
instruments in relation to their purpose,

X.  whereas the following factors contributed to the lack of success of the European communication

policy:

› 

insufficient financial means,

› 

insufficient human resources, both quantitatively and qualitatively speaking,

› 

lack of co-ordination between the EU institutions,

› 

lack of co-ordination within individual institutions,

› 

insufficient decentralization towards the level of the Member States,

› 

insufficient co-operation between the EU institutions and the Member States,

lack of common strategy,

› 

too much information, not enough communication,

›  policy is too budget driven and is not sufficiently driven by the fact that communication should

be the number one priority in the policy of European integration,

› 

lack of use of the new media outlets,

›  execution of information policy is not sufficiently citizen orientated,

›  either structural or occasional lack of transparency and openness in the institutions,

›  absence of a clear policy on relations with the media, which is partly the result of inadequate and
occasionally counter-productive reactions on the part of the European Parliament(cid:146)s appropriate
bodies,

› 

failure to take sufficient account of the social dimension of European integration,

› 

failure to take sufficient account of the need for citizens to participate in European integration,

› 

information  on  the  European  Union(cid:146)s  activities  is  too  often  couched  in  incomprehensible
language which is a barrier to public interest and understanding,

Y.  whereas the information programme for European citizens (Prince), developed at the initiative of
Parliament, creates a new system involving Parliament, the Commission and the governments of the
Member States and the current experiment should be continually assessed,

Z. 

having  regard  to  the  experience  acquired  over  the  last  two  years  as  regards  the  coordination  of
information policy by the interinstitutional working party in the context of Prince,

AA.  whereas an effective information policy must reach out to all social structures; whereas it should not
be  confined  to  European  or  national  administrative  and  political  structures  and  whereas  it  must
involve local authorities, civil society and education,

AB.  whereas active and pluralist information is an element of the democratic debate in Europe and on
Europe;  whereas  it  must  reflect  the  diversity  of  the  opinions  expressed  in  the  European  Union;
whereas it must not be confined to presenting a (cid:145)single point of view(cid:146) on Europe; whereas it must not
eliminate  opposition  between  institutions  or  between  political  forces,  and  whereas  a  democratic
communication policy must be guided by the principle of open legislation and must make it its aim
to enable citizens to engage in an active dialogue with the European legislative process,

AC.  whereas in this context close contacts with the regional media play an important role in view of the

wide coverage, in particular through radio and the printed media,

AD.  whereas the Committee of the Regions should also be involved in the regional communication and

distribution of information,

AE.  whereas  interinstitutional  cooperation  with  regard  to  information  on  Europe  was  initiated  by  the
Budgetary Authority in the framework of the 1995, 1996 and 1997 budgetary procedures; whereas in
particular a Working Party on Information Measures was set up under the 1996 budget; whereas this
structure  was  confirmed  by  the  adoption  of  the  1997  budget,  under  which  a  Working  Party  on
Ongoing Information Activities and a Working Party on Priority Information Measures were set up;
whereas this structure has been continued in the 1998 budget,

AF.  whereas through this resolution interinstitutional cooperation on European information should be
developed and clarified, in the framework of the Working Party on Ongoing Information Activities,

Concerning the European Commission

Considers  that  the  Commission  must  ensure  co-ordination  between  General  Direction  X  and  the

1.
other general Directions;

Considers that the Commission must make better use of the audio-visual possibilities and satellite

2.
services (EBS);

3.
Points out the need to implement the use of multimedia applications both in public and private places
and  at  home,  with  a  view  to  improving  the  dissemination  of  information  on  Europe  through  these
interactive services;

4.
Recommends that the Commission carry out information work in schools and stresses the need for
its publications to be appropriate to the age and maturity of the pupils concerned, while respecting the
plurality of views on and proposals for European integration;

Stresses the need in general to match the information made available more closely to the main target

5.
groups such as the press, educational establishments, industry and private citizens;

6.
Suggests that the Commission carry out thorough feasibility studies on European communication
policy in order to ensure that European citizens are provided with quality information, targeted where
possible, which reflects their concerns and gives them a positive image of the European Union; in this
context, specific campaigns aimed in particular at young people, women or those in a precarious situation
in society would be particularly welcome;

7.
Believes that the use and the diffusion of the polls made by the Eurobarometer, mainly the polls
concerning specific targets and periodic flash reports should be implemented with the aim of helping the
information policy and the evaluation of EU common policies;

8.
Calls on the Commission, in accordance with the guidelines set out by the Milan European Council,
to take the necessary initiatives to ensure, in cooperation with the governments of the Member States, the
general celebration throughout the Union of Europe Day on 9 May;

9.

Suggests the Commission should create specific information for decision makers;

Considers  that  all  information  programmes  and  initiatives  need  to  be  regularly  assessed  for

10.
efficiency and cost effectiveness;

Considers that, with regard to support and action programmes, the selection of projects should be

11.
more transparent and the reasons for the choice should be clearer to those who submit the projects;

12.
Calls on the Commission in all its official documents, wherever possible, to use simple and clear
language, and also for it to submit as soon as possible a proposal enabling the fundamental right of public
access to legislative documents to be implemented;

Recalls that, in order to use the financial resources allocated to information more efficiently and

13.
effectively, both institutions have agreed on basic common principles which are:

›  decentralization;

› 

interinstitutional cooperation;

›  mobility and rotation of staff at external offices;

› 

intensifying contacts with citizens;

›  value for money;

cultural and socio-psychological differences in the structure and methodology of the media in the various
Member States, which are reflected inter alia in a highly divergent and often sceptical general attitude
towards  the  European  Institutions,  make  it  necessary  for  there  to  be  greater  diversification,  and  less
centralized direction, of the Commission(cid:146)s and Parliament(cid:146)s central information policy at national and
regional level;

16
Calls  on  the  Commission,  and  undertakes  itself,  to  move  as  rapidly  as  possible  towards  the
combined use, wherever possible, of the infrastructure of inter alia the audiovisual services and the press
centres of the European Parliament and the Commission in order to achieve the maximum effectiveness
and efficiency of these activities;

17.
Calls on the Commission, in order to ensure such cooperation, to submit by 30 September 1998,
pursuant to the relevant Treaty provisions, a legislative proposal which taking into account the following
guidelines:

›  within the framework of the Working Party on Ongoing Information Activities, the establishment of
regular  coordination  meetings  between  the  Vice-President  of  Parliament  with  responsibility  for
information,  the  chairmen  of  Parliament(cid:146)s  committees  on  Budgets  and  Culture  and  the  Director-
General  of  Parliament(cid:146)s  DG  III  and  the  Commissioner  with  responsibility  for  information  the
Director-General of the Commission(cid:146)s DG X;

› 

the Working Party on Ongoing Information Activities is to be responsible for the co-ordination of the
information and communication activities of the European Commission and the European Parliament
as well as the follow-up of the combined activities of both institutions. The Working Party is to meet
at  least  once  every  three  months,  assess  the  activities  on  a  regular  basis,  propose  the  appropriate
guidelines for their development and report to Parliament;

›  all communication activities directed towards the general public, concerning general information on
the functioning of the institutions and the contents of policies adopted, shall be executed, whenever
possible, as a joint operation of the European Parliament and the Commission;

›  all  communication  activities  directed  towards  the  press  and  those  concerning  activities  of  the  two
institutions as regards their specific institutional responsibilities, will be executed › as at present › by
the  separate  information  departments  of  the  two  institutions;  however,  both  institutions  commit
themselves to inform each other of their respective initiatives. In the various information campaigns
and  seminars  organized  by  the  (cid:145)European  Union  Houses(cid:146)  in  the  Member  States  MEPs  should  be
encouraged to participate;

› 

› 

› 

› 

the  Commission  and  the  European  Parliament  to  recognize  the  need  for  co-ordination  of  all
communication activities;

the activities of DG X and DG III will be executed in a decentralized way whenever possible and
appropriate, i.e. at the level of the offices in the Member States, using, there appropriate, the various
official  languages  in  the  Member  States,  as  well  as  via  the  network  of  the  different  centres
(Info Points, CDE, Carrefours ruraux, etc).The budget for decentralized actions should be increased
on a percentage basis yearly;

it is necessary to house together the national and regional offices of the Commission and the European
Parliament with the aim of building (cid:145)European Union Houses(cid:146) in all the Member States at national and
eventually at regional level, and to permit the use of the facilities of these (cid:145)Houses(cid:146) by organizations
dealing with matters of European integration;

the  (cid:145)European  Union  Houses(cid:146)  facilitates  (cid:145)one  stop  shopping(cid:146)  for  the  European  citizen  seeking
information on EU activities, and detailed information on the execution of the specific responsibilities
of  both  institutions.  The  (cid:145)European  Union  Houses(cid:146)  should  be  easily  accessible  and  visible  to  the
public;

›  Parliament and the Commission must examine, in the framework of the Working Party on Ongoing
Information Activities, the possibility of developing initiatives in new media outlets: a good example
of  a  common  initiative  is  the  proposal  made  by  the  European  Parliament  on  the  (cid:145)me·moires
audiovisuelles de l(cid:146)Europe(cid:146);

1. 6. 98

Thursday 14 May 1998

›  Parliament and the Commission must promote, in the framework of the Working Party on Ongoing
Information Activities, the production of television programmes about the activities of the European
Institutions  which  could  be  broadcasted  by  Euronews  and  other  broadcasting  media.  Some  joint
audiovisual actions should be envisaged as it would be less costly and more efficient, and also of great
symbolic importance;

›  Parliament and the Commission must consider, in the framework of the Working Party on Ongoing
Information  Activities,  a  better  use  of  EBS  (Europe  by  Satellite)  by  journalists,  broadcasting
organizations  and  NGOs;  in  particular,  it  should  consider  facilitating  a  public  service  network
perceived as credible and independent, able to reach a significant proportion of the European viewing
audience and to emulate, in Europe, the success of C-Span in the United States. EBS might supply
third parties with equipment to receive its programmes;

› 

› 

it is necessary for Parliament and the Commission to encourage, in the framework of the Working
Party on Ongoing Information Activities, the development of the audio-visual sector, through local
and  regional  channels  and  cooperation  with  European  organizations  as  the  EBU  (European
Broadcasting Union), the international press agencies, through the production of EP audio-visual and
radio programmes, as well as through the use of the Internet and CD-ROM in the framework of the
(cid:145)CIVIS(cid:146) structure created by the DG III of the European Parliament and containing the WEB Europarl,
the Electronic Mail Europe and the (cid:145)chat(cid:146);

the decentralised and local presence of the EU institutions close to the citizens should be strengthened
by  allocating  increased  and  adequate  resources  to  networks  such  as  the  Europe  Info  Points,  if
necessary  by  reconsidering  the  amount  of  the  budget  dedicated  to  the  national  European  Union
Houses in the capitals of the member states; a detailed breakdown of the information policy budget,
including all decentralised actions will be provided to the Working Party on Ongoing Information
Activities, and be publicly available;

Stresses the need to involve the others EU institutions, mainly the Council but also the Committee

18.
of the Regions, in the co-operation between Parliament and the Commission;

Concerning the European Parliament

Considers that the Parliament, as the budget authority, should investigate the appropriate amount of

19.
funds necessary to real an information policy in conformity with its targets;

Considers that in its own decision-making process the European Parliament should have maximum
20.
transparency as its starting point and that it must repeatedly urge the other institutions to take maximum
transparency into account;

21. With reference to the initiatives which have already been undertaken and the results obtained in
recent years through Parliament(cid:146)s attempts to increase its profile and assert its political, legislative and
budgetary role, considers that these efforts must be intensified in the coming months with particular regard
to the practical implementation of Parliament(cid:146)s new powers as laid down in the Amsterdam Treaty, and
also to the 1999 European elections;

Considers that the visitor groups are an excellent means of coming closer to the citizens. Regards it
22.
appropriate to study where improvements can be made in the quality of the reception and the programmes
given to them and thus improve the effectiveness of the expenses made for visitor groups;

Considers that Parliament should hold an annual debate on the policy pursued by its own services
23.
on  the  basis  of  a  strategic  concept,  a  debate  based  on  a  report  by  the  Committee  on  Culture,  Youth,
Education and the Media;

24.
Recommends that the existing arrangements for refunding to broadcasting organizations the costs
of using facilities (Satellite and microwaves links) should be simplified for reports concerning Parliament;

25.
Believing it to be important that the work of the European Parliament be brought close to the citizen
in  particular  by  television,  notes  that  the  members  of  the  European  Parliament  can  use  audiovisual
facilities during part-sessions in Strasbourg and Brussels and also during Committee meetings in Brussels;

26.
Considers  that  the  Members  of  the  European  Parliament  must  have  access  to  appropriate
information  materials  (video  cassettes,  brochures,  maps  etc.)  when  they  are  asked  to  lecture  on  the
European Union or a specific topic of European policy;

27.
Stresses that it is essential that the information budget in 1999, to promote European values and
democracy during the year dedicated to the European elections and to promote participation in that year(cid:146)s
European elections, be increased;

Undertakes, and calls on its Members, to use whenever possible simple and clear language in all

28.
official documents;

29.
Considers  that  negative  and/or  incomplete  reporting  in  the  media  is  not  counteracted  through
defensive  measures  such  as  the  (cid:145)fiche  d(cid:146)alerte(cid:146)  system  but  that  such  reporting  must  be  anticipated  by
greater  transparency,  in  relation  to  both  the  internal  and  external  environment,  in  all  aspects  of
Parliament(cid:146)s activities;

30.
Considers  that  Parliament  has  nothing  to  hide  and  that  therefore  a  professional  but  flexible
relationship must be developed with the media and with journalists on the basis of maximum openness,
taking into account, however, the right to privacy of Members and political groups;

Concerning the budgetary aspects

31.
Underlines its responsibilities as budgetary authority for the use of the common funding in relation
with  the  Union(cid:146)s  political  priorities;  welcomes  the  initiatives  taken  so  far  to  get  closer  to  the  citizen,
through close monitoring of communication and information actions;

32.
Recommends that, during the 1999 budgetary procedure, the two institutions should agree an action
programme and a global financial envelope for support activities of the Union(cid:146)s priority policies, and for
support to encourage citizens(cid:146) participation in the European Parliament elections in 1999;

*

*

*

Instructs  its  Bureau  to  take  any  measures  necessary  to  follow  up  the  recommendations  in  this

33.
resolution;

34.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission.
