INTRODUCTION

Article 31.3 of the Internal Agreement on the financing and administration of
Community aid states:

Each year the Commission shall draw up a comprehensive report for the Member
States on the operation of the system of stabilisation of export earnings and the
use made by the ACP States of the funds transferred

This report covers the activities of the ACP-EC institutions and the administration of
the system in 2000, paying special attention to the allocation of transfers for 1999,
the fifth year of application of Stabex under the fourth ACP-EC Convention as
revised by the Agreement signed in Mauritius.

This was the final year of application of the export earnings stabilisation system. Indeed,
under the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, signed at Cotonou on 23 June 2000, it was
decided to replace this system by one providing additional support to cover fluctuations
in these earnings, this support forming part of the National Indicative Programme for
ACP States.

For this final year of application of Stabex, it has been possible to cover all transfers, as
has been the case for previous years under the second financial protocol.

ACTIVITIES OF THE ACP-EU INSTITUTIONS

By decision N° 1/2000 of 27 July 20001 concerning the transitional measures
applicable from 2 August 2000 until the ACP- EU Partnership Agreement comes into
force, the ACP-EC Council of Ministers extended until 31 December 2000 the
provisions of the Fourth ACP-EC Convention as revised by the Agreement signed in
Mauritius on 4 November 1995 regarding Stabex.

On the basis of this decision, the ACP-EC Committee of Ambassadors also decided2,
on 26 September 2000, to set up a reserve fund as a means of financing the transfers
decided under
the Stabex arrangements and chargeable to financial years of
application 1998 and 1999 (168 million euros) and reimbursing the residual balance
under the second financial protocol (72 million euros – Article 195a of the
Convention) prior to 31 December 2000. This made it possible to decide upon certain
transfers that were still being appraised in July 2000 and to reimburse the residual
balances under the second financial protocol. Please refer to points 3 (transfers for
year of application 1999) and 4 (reimbursement of residual balances under the
second financial protocol) of this report for further information on the financial
aspects of these decisions.

TRANSFERS FOR YEAR OF APPLICATION 1999

Calculation of the transfer bases

For the year of application 1999, the Commission found 23 ACP States to be eligible for
31 transfers under the Stabex arrangements. The 31 country/product groups for which
losses of earnings eligible for compensation were recorded are listed in Table 1 of this
report3.

After calculating the reduction provided for
Convention, the transfer bases totalled

316 439 472 .

€

in Article 197(3) and (4) of the

Under Article 204 of the Convention the transfer basis calculated from the Community’s
import statistics is reduced to the level of the transfer basis calculated from the statistics
on ACP exports to all destinations, where the latter amount is less than the former.

7.

Reductions under Article 203

Trends in marketed output and total exports to the Community of the products in
question meant that consultations under article 203 of the Convention had to be held
between the Commission and the representatives of the ACP States. The consultations
resulted in the reductions shown in the following tables:

Following consultation where appropriate and as required under Articles 202 and 203 of

Results by recipient country and product

Table 2 gives the results by recipient country.

The balance by product (see table n° 3) shows that coffee accounted for 66.4% of the
total amount transferred.

Because of a sharp, steep decline of coffee prices on the international markets in 1999,
the ACP coffee exporters are the major Stabex recipients for the year of application
concerned.

TRANSFER OF RESIDUAL BALANCES UNDER THE SECOND FINANCIAL PROTOCOL

In accordance with Article 195a of the Convention, and based on the decision of the
Committee of Ambassadors of 26 September 2000 (see point 2.4. of this report), the
Commission decided on 27.12.2000 to transfer, under the second financial protocol,
the residual balances (commonly termed “excess”) to eligible ACP States. These
balances amounted to
70 691 488. The breakdown of the balances by ACP State
and by product is given in Table 4 of this report.

Utilisation (areas of intervention):
The FMO stipulates that a first tranche of 6 000 000 euro will be sold by auction by the
Bank of the Republic of Burundi (BRB) in accordance with the Rules of the Currency
Auction Market (CAM) of 29 June 2000, in force since 1 July 2000, and with the
subsequently adopted applicable legislation. The counterpart funds obtained from this
auction will be transferred to a STABEX transfer account, opened at the BRB, for which
the national authorising officer and the
there will be two authorised signatories,
European Commission representative. These funds will be used to pay the basic salaries
of civil administration staff, especially those with responsibilities in the production
sectors or, more generally speaking, in agricultural development or the social sectors,
with priority given to the countryside, in an effort to help normalise local authority
operations to the advantage of the rural people. At the same time, the Government has
pledged to act as guarantor for the state counterpart funds in the various programmes
receiving external financing as part of the rehabilitation process.

Bearing in mind the level of security achieved and the progress made in the peace
process, two tranches amounting to roughly 17 250 000 euro, divided into several sub-
tranches, will be made available to the BRB for sale by auction in accordance with the
Rules referred to above. The counterpart funds resulting from each auction will be
transferred to a “STABEX transfer” account, opened at the BRB, with two signatories,
the national authorising officer and the European Commission representative.

A cash sum of 3,000,000 euro will be set aside for all technical assistance operations :
budget management experts in charge of monitoring the implementation and use of the
funds, technical and financial audits for the preparation and monitoring of operations, as

(a)

The Trust Fund Concept
The Trust Fund concept can be applied to transfer the provision of
transport services from the state to the private sector. The proceeds from
the Trust Fund may be applied to meet the costs of subsidising non-
commercial routes. This would be through competition for long-term
franchises from private sector operators based on minimum service
requirements. This approach would create a degree of certainty and
establish an environment favourable to investment. With the « non-
commercial » routes effectively subsidised there would no longer be a
need to cross-subsidise. Thus the commercial routes could either be
opened for
full competition, or competition could take place for
franchises. A fully private sector will emerge from which it is hoped
there will be considerable economic gains.
60% of the transfer will be placed under a trust fund.

12

(b)

Establishment of a Shipping and Aviation Regulation and Licensing Unit
In order to administer the franchise system, as well as licensing and other
safety aspects, a Shipping and Aviation Regulation and Licensing Unit
would need to be set up. The unit will be very limited in size (max. 5
persons full time) and will initially be based within the Ministry of
Transport, Works and Communication.
Up to 3% of the transfer may be used for this purpose.

Development Bank of the Solomon Islands
Following a review of the Bank sponsored by EDF resources, it has been decided
that the Bank has a useful role to play, provided it can secure financial backing to
strengthen its activities. This role lies in acting as a provider of longer-term
finance to commercial activities. The Bank will be made more independent of
Government under a revised mandate and in the longer term it is hoped that the
private sector can be attracted to participate in the Bank once it is reconstructed.

Up to 10% of the transfer may be used to provide assistance to DBSI.

Forestry
The 1998 FMO will support eco-logging and sustainable forestry as well as
activities supported by the 1994-1995 FMO, namely reforestation and domestic
processing projects. This is consistent with interventions funded under EC
budget lines as well as by other donors in the region. It will focus on the
sustainable use of natural forests and inter-linkages with agricultural activities
will be taken into account.
Up to 10% of the transfer allocation will be used to support the forestry sector.

Rural Development
The 1998 FMO will provide continued support to farmers in rural areas and to
the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.
It will also support export
diversification activities and provide rural infrastructure.
Up to 12% of the transfer allocation will be used to support rural development.

Technical assistance and evaluation
The funds allocated to this component will primarily be used to finance a
programme management unit (PMU), the necessary short-term technical studies
(such as design and feasibility studies, and economic/financial analysis), 6-
monthly audits of the various components, annual mid-term reviews and a final
evaluation. This PMU will form part of the existing NAO-PMU and will also be

Compensation payment to tea smallholders
Under “Stabex for Coffee” three successful compensation payments were made
to 400 000 coffee farmers under the Stabex programmes for coffee in 1993, 1994
and 1997. Coffee farmers were directly compensated in cash using about 60% of
the Stabex allocations. In the tea sector it is also considered that such direct
compensation payments to tea smallholders would be an effective way to restore
their confidence in the crop after several years of irregular payments by the
former Tanzania Tea Authority (TTA). There are between 25 000 and 30 000 tea
smallholders, who in 1996 produced some 10% of Tanzania’s tea production. It
is proposed to compensate smallholders only, as they have suffered most from
the 1996 drought.
Allocation :

1 150 000

€

Support to retrenchment of former TTA staff
The privatisation of the six TTA factories and the restructuring of the regulatory
authority will require the retrenchment of a large number of employees. Some of
these employees may be taken over by the new private owners of the factories as
part of the acquisition plan, but most of them will have to be formally retrenched.

A detailed retrenchment plan will be drawn up. Stabex funding may not be
required for this essential activity if the sale of the factories raises enough funds
to pay off the staff. Should this be the case, this allocation will be reprogrammed,
probably to improve feeder roads in the tea areas.

Nursery contract scheme
In order to remain competitive, the estates need to step up their capacity to
replace current low performing tea bushes with clonal tea (so as to remain
internationally competitive). Smallholders also need to replace non-performing
tea plants after years of neglect. Therefore the existing nursery capacity needs to
be increased.
