A. whereas, with the entry into force of the Treaty on European Union, the CSCE became an

object of joint actions in the framework of the Common Foreign and Security Policy,

B. whereas the European Council in Brussels of 29 October 1993 ( SN 288 / 93 ) called on the

E. whereas NATO's ' partnership for Peace ' initiative expresses a common commitment to the
Helsinki Final Act and all subsequent CSCE documents and calls on all states subscribing to
this initiative to contribute to operations under the authority of the UN and / or the
responsibility of the CSCE,

1 . Emphasizes the important role the CSCE has played and still plays m establishing rules to
prevent conflicts, to improve relations and to enhance cooperation between its Member States ;

2 . Welcomes the strengthening of the CSCE structures, namely the creation of the Forum for
Security Cooperation, the establishment of the CSCE Secretariat and the Permanent Committee
in Vienna, the appointment of a Secretary General and the appointment of a High Commissioner
on National Minorities ;

3 . Calls on the European Union and its Member States to make every effort to ensure that the
powers of the High Commissioner for National Minorities are consolidated and that the staff and
funding available are increased ;

4 . Calls on the European Union and its Member States to instigate discussions within the
CSCE on the possibility of setting up a High Commission for Human Rights — for the CSCE
Member States only — which could be given even wider powers and responsibilities than those
exercised by the UN Commission on Human Rights at world level ;

5 . Deeply regrets the fact that the capabilities of the CSCE in conflict settlement and crisis

consensus rule and a lack of financial and operational resources ;

fair elections in all its Member States ;

Parliament engage in a dialogue with the competent authorities in order to review this situation ;

a participant in the CSCE, and be the spokesman for the Member States on those matters for
which powers are transferred to it ;

9 . Calls on the European Union to make proposals with a view to establishing improved
arrangements for consultations and for the sharing of tasks, roles and responsibilities between the
UN, CSCE, NATO, WEU and the European Union itself, as a joint effort to contribute to
economic, political and military stability in Europe and in order to avoid duplications, waste of
resources and possible conflict ;

10 . Calls upon the European Union and its Member States to contribute to the further
strengthening of the CSCE as a pan-European and transatlantic forum for cooperative security
and as an appropriate instrument for conflict prevention and crisis management mandated by the
United Nations pursuant to Chapter VIII of the UN Charter ;

1 1 . Hopes that, among its various spheres of cooperation, the CSCE will make a special effort
to step up cooperation on safeguarding and improving the environment ;

12 . Calls upon the European Union and its Member States to actively support the efforts to
enhance the operational capabilities of the CSCE for early warning, conflict prevention and crisis
management ;

13 . Calls on the European Union and its Member States to contribute towards training
specialist staff for the monitoring, mediation, prevention and settlement of conflicts, possibly by
cooperating with other CSCE states already active in this field ;

No C 114 / 18 Official Journal of the European Communities 25 . 4 . 94

14 . Believes that the CSCE is the ideal framework for the conclusion and implementation of a
stability pact in Europe and for the development of political and diplomatic measures aimed at
conflict prevention, conciliation and the curtailing and settlement of conflicts ; calls accordingly
on the European Union and its Member States to coordinate their joint action closely and consult
the European Parliament with that in view ;

1 5 . Calls for the presentation to the European Parliament of a comprehensive European Union
proposal, which would further define and elaborate a set of basic principles for conflict
prevention and crisis management, and which would also take into account further regional
stability proposals, including the development of a Balkan cooperation plan, as well as
cooperation of the Baltic states ;

16 . Welcomes the decisions by the CSCE Council in Rome on 1 December 1993 and calls for
their early implementation ;

17 . Underlines the importance of continued CSCE focus on former Yugoslavia and mandated
continued monitoring of compliance with CSCE norms and principles, promotion of respect for
human rights and protection of national minorities ;

18 . Believes that, following the successive enlargement of the CSCE, further development of
the CSCE Paris Charter is particularly necessary in order to harmonize, with due regard to UN
resolutions, the principle of non-interference and respect for territorial integrity with the
principle of respect of human rights, including minority rights, bearing also in mind the dangers
arising from the rise of nationalisms ;

19 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the
Parliaments of the Member States and the Secretaries      - General of the CSCE, NATO, the UN and
the WEU .

United States of America,

— having regard to the Treaty on European Union and, in particular, to Title V thereof,

— having regard to the motion for a resolution by Mr Planas Puchades on relations between the

European Community and the United States of America ( B3-0834 / 93 ),

— having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security ( A3-0093 / 94 ),

A. whereas the European Union and the United States ( US ) can and must contribute
significantly to equitable and stable world relations,

B. whereas the European Union, together with the United States and all constitutional
countries, should help to establish a constitutional and democratic system at international
level,

25 . 4 . 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 114 / 19

Thursday, 24 March 1994

C. whereas the European Union and the United States represent societies which, in themselves
and in their structures, embody the same responsibilities, and whereas on the basis of their
constitutional principles, when they signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and
other important international conventions the European Union and the United States
proclaimed a fundamental commitment to democracy and human rights, which should
oblige them to behave in an exemplary manner,

D. convinced that the European Union and the United States bear a great responsibility for

sustainable development and growth of the world economy, including a fairer distribution of
wealth,

E. whereas the countries of the European Union and the United States, inter alia through the
cooperation of them all in the CSCE and of the most concerned of the NATO states, can
contribute, where possible within the framework of the United Nations, to the promotion of
security, peace keeping and peace enforcement,

1 . Emphasizes once again the importance of the Declaration of 22 November 1 990 and of the
consultations which take place on a permanent basis as a result thereof ;

2 . Wishes the Declaration to be transposed into a Treaty in accordance with the European
Union's powers, in order to underscore the depth and permanence of their relations, and takes the
view that such a transatlantic Treaty should encompass the totality of political, economic and
security policy relations between the European Union and the United States ;

3 . Considers that both the European Union and the US, inter alia through NATO and the
WEU, must continue to play a key role in the promotion of security, particularly in Europe ;
welcomes, in this connection, the United States ' readiness to maintain a substantial number of
American troops in Europe ;

4 . Appreciates the fact that the NATO summit of 10 and 11 January highlighted the
emergence of a European Security and Defence Identity, in connection with which the WEU was
specifically mentioned ;

5 . Regards a creatively designed partnership for peace as an important instrument — in
addition to the Europe agreements — for forging security links between the Atlantic Alliance and
countries to the east thereof, which could form steps in the evolutionary process of the extension
of NATO, in order thereby to eliminate the security vacuum as quickly as possible, particularly
for Central European countries ;

6 . Calls for both partners to continue to promote arms control, disarmament and preventing
the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems, through an
unconditional and indefinite extension of the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear
Weapons, rapid application of a Convention on Chemical Weapons, introduction of a total ban
on nuclear testing, strengthening of the Missile Technology Control Regime ( MTCR ), effective
follow-up to Cocom, precise and full implementation of the treaty on conventional forces in
Europe ( CFE ) and control of conventional arms exports to third countries, and calls on the United
States to promote the keeping of a UN register on the international arms trade ;

7 . Considers that because of the failure of the G7 to help Eastern Europe economically or
politically and because of the inherent inflexibility and political unaccountability of the IMF and
G7 there is an urgent need for the European Union, the Member States and the US to coordinate
their aid to Russia and the countries of central and eastern Europe, adopt common priority
programmes, sharing the tasks, and substantially accelerate administrative implementation of the

programmes ;

8 . Notes with relief that after seven years of negotiation the GATT Uruguay Round has come
to a successful conclusion ; notes, however, that considerable progress is still necessary in certain
sectors, where only an agreement on principles has been found, in particular as regards financial
services, telecommunications, public service contracts and maritime transport ;

No C 1 14 / 20 Official Journal of the European Communities 25 . 4 . 94

Thursday, 24 March 1994

9 . Urges the Council to create a trilateral dialogue between the US, Japan and the EU but
avoiding practices of managed trade and market-sharing ;

10 . Asks the Council, in view of the role played by the US in the Pacific Area Cooperation, to
establish a regular and effective dialogue between the Asia Pacific Economy Conference
( APEC ) and the EU ;

11 . Calls on the European Union and the US to cooperate in the implementation of the
Declaration of Rio de Janeiro on sustainable development and the environment and the further
implementation of the report ' Our Common Future ' ;

1 2 . Draws attention to the need for the European Union and the US to work jointly to promote
the successful implementation of every aspect of the Washington Agreement of 13 September

1993 between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization ( PLO );

13 . Considers that this Agreement should be followed by peace agreements between Israel
and its neighbours, agreements on regional cooperation and new coordinated cooperation
agreements between the European Union and its partners in the Middle East and the
Mediterranean area ;

14 . Calls on the European Union to place a greater emphasis on the development of cultural
and educational links with the US and to extend the scope of existing exchange programmes such
as the Fulbright programme ;

15 . Stresses the need to strengthen the European Parliament Delegation for relations with the
US, in order to improve contacts between bodies and institutions involved in the legislative
process, notably the European Parliament, the US House of Representatives, the Senate and the
Commission, in such a way that this dialogue also provides for adequate contacts at expert
committee level ;

16 . Calls for the European members of the delegation to coordinate their positions more
effectively ;

17 . Considers it important that that delegation report regularly to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs and Security to enable it to draw up draft recommendations, subject to adoption by
Parliament, to the Commission and the Council ;

1 8 . Requests the competent authorities of the United States to declare a moratorium on capital
punishment until such time as legal measures are taken to abolish the death penalty in Federal
law and the law of individual States ;

19 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission and the Council, and
the Administration and both Houses of Congress of the United States .

Thursday, 24 March 1994

F. whereas in the current world political situation, which is characterized by profound changes,
a growing need for international action to resolve conflicts and a shift from a bipolar to a
multipolar balance of power, the need for the European Union to have a common foreign,
security and defence policy has become far more topical,

G. whereas the provisions of the Treaty on European Union concerning the common foreign

and security policy, though pointing in the right direction, do not suffice in many respects to
give the Union the desired identity in this field,

H. whereas the results of recent opinion polls make it clear that the majority of Union citizens in

all Member States (a total of 70% ) want a common security and defence policy, the transfer
of responsibility for these policies to the Community thus having broad approval,

I. whereas the European Union has a duty to help to alleviate poverty and underdevelopment,
to ensure respect for human and civil rights, to maintain peace through preventive diplomacy
and to contain conflicts throughout the world ; whereas a common security policy is
necessary if it is to discharge this duty effectively,

J. whereas a common security and defence policy must not be based solely on an analysis of
current circumstances, but must take account of potential political changes, the possibility of
new trouble spots emerging and the danger of conflicts spreading to neighbouring regions
and continents,

1 . Regards the following as the overriding objectives of a common security and defence
policy to whose implementation the European Union is to contribute in and outside Europe :

( a ) to promote a policy of progressive disarmament and reestablishment of the political, social,

economic and ecological balance in order to reduce and eliminate sources of tension and
conflict,

( b ) to strengthen the security and territorial integrity of the European Union and its Member

States in all its forms and to protect its legitimate interests,

( c ) to preserve peace and to strengthen international security in accordance with the principles

of the Charter of the United Nations, the Helsinki Final Act and the objectives of the Paris
Charter,

( d ) to ensure respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and to promote democracy and

the rule of law,

( e ) to preclude military conflicts through preventive diplomacy, introduce and promote a

peacekeeping and peacemaking policy based principally on non-military means and provide
the wherewithal to this end,

( f ) to contain military conflicts in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 1 of the Charter of

the United Nations ;

2 . Is convinced that a common security and defence policy must be based primarily on
preventive action at political, diplomatic, social, economic and legal level and efforts to resolve
conflicts peacefully, with the use of military means considered only as a last resort, and that it
must be guided by the economic, social, ecological, cultural and other aspects of the co-existence
of societies and states ;

3 . Regrets that the provisions of the Treaty on European Union concerning the common
foreign and security policy ( CFSP ) are based on an intergovernmental approach, which reduces
the European Parliament's involvement to the mere right to be heard and informed and to the
possibility of making non-binding recommendations to the Council, provides for unanimous
decision-making and excludes the CFSP from the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice ;

25.4.94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 114 / 23

Thursday, 24 Mardi 1994

4 . Regrets that the authors of the Treaty on European Union preferred to entrust defence policy
to a separate body, the WEU, instead of integrating it fully into the Union ;

5 . Calls on the Council to make vigorous use of the new Treaty instrument of ' joint action '
referred to Articles J.l(3 ) and J.3 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Council's decisions
of 26 October 1993 with a view to contributing to security and stability in Europe and the rest of
the world through preventive and peacekeeping measures ;

6 . Hopes that at the intergovernmental conference scheduled for 1996 to review the CFSP
provisions it will be decided that the intergovernmental procedures should gradually be replaced
with Community procedures based primarily on majority voting ( by a particular qualified
majority ) in the Council, the legally binding nature of Council decisions and an accurately
defined role for the European Parliament in the exercise of control rights ;

7 . Considers it essential for the European Union to act as such in international bodies such as
the UN and its Security Council, the CSCE and the Council of Europe and to be vested with
adequate political powers and the necessary legal personality to this end ;

8 . Advocates the continuation of the arms control and disarmament process in the chemical,
bacteriological, conventional and nuclear spheres and in respect of the relevant technology and
hopes that the European Union as such will participate in relevant negotiations with the
unanimous backing of its members ;

9 . Hopes that the European Union will perform to the full its security and defence role in the
framework of the Atlantic Alliance by joining NATO as a ' collective member ', so that the
Alliance may rest on two pillars of equal value ;

10 . Welcomes the thought being given on both sides of the Atlantic to the possibility of
anchoring all political, economic and defence policy relations between the European Union and
the United States and Canada in a comprehensive treaty ;

11 . Advocates that it be decided at the review conference scheduled for 1996 that Western
European Union ( WEU ), including the provisions of the Treaty on which it is based, should be
absorbed into the European Union, preferably in 1998, when after 50 years the WEU Treaty can
be terminated ;

12 . Considers it fitting that the presidencies of the European Union and WEU should be
coordinated at the earliest opportunity by having the two Councils chaired by the same country in
each case, with an appropriate special arrangement for Member States of the Union that are not
full members of the WEU ;

1 3 . Advocates that all Member States of the European Union become full members of WEU in
an appropriate manner in order to improve the Union's capacity for action in the area of security
and defence policy and to strengthen its cohesion ;

1 4 . Advocates the expansion of WEU ' s operational role, especially through the establishment
of a WEU planning staff and cooperation at the level of the chiefs of general staff, with the
long-term goal of developing a joint military command structure for the Union, and through
closer military cooperation, especially in the areas of logistics, training, air defence, manoeuvres
and transport ;

15 . Advocates that military units of the WEU Member States which are under WEU command
also be deployed for the purposes of deterrence and on humanitarian, rescue, peacekeeping and
peace-making missions ;

16 . Advocates that the conference held to review the CFSP provisions decide that military
missions to be undertaken by WEU require the approval of the European Parliament, acting by a
majority of its Members, and the approval of the parliaments of the Member States participating
in such missions ;

No C 1 14 / 24 Official Journal of the European Communities 25 . 4 . 94

Thursday, 24 March 1994

17 . Advocates the progressive development of the Franco-German-Belgian corps, which will
shortly be joined by Spain, into an operational military organizational structure which is open to
all Member States of the Union, is composed of various multinational units and may be deployed
pursuant to Article 5 1 of Charter of the United Nations on behalf of the European Union if the
Council so decides and after the European Parliament has given its approval ;

18 . Sees the Eurocorps as a basic structure for joint armed forces of the European Union,
which should be placed under the Union's future common military command structure and
might, if necessary, be deployed in close coordination with the authorities of the Atlantic
Alliance, the CSCE and the UN ;

19 . Considers it necessary for sufficient resources to be set aside m the European Union's
budget for joint actions and unforeseeable CFSP measures ;

20 . Advocates, against the background of the goal of Union citizenship and on the basis of the
principle of equal treatment, that steps be taken to harmonize the legislation on military and
alternative civilian service in those of the Union's Member States which have compulsory
military service, with due regard for the legal and constitutional status and traditions of the
Member States ;

21 . Advocates that the right to refuse to fight on grounds of conscience become a
constitutional principle of the Union ;

22 . Advocates the early establishment of a European Armaments Agency to act as the
framework for measures to increase cooperation among the Member States of the European
Union in arms production and the conversion of armaments industries to civilian production ;
welcomes the Commission's initiatives in this context, and especially the Con ver programme
and the new ' Objective 4 ' of the Social Fund, and calls for these initiatives to be continued and
developed further ;

23 . Calls on the Commission in particular to consider in the near future a separate budget entry
for Conver not subject to the restrictive Structural Fund eligibility criteria ; advocates that the
funds available for Conver be increased ;

24 . Draws attention to the fact that it is technically feasible to locate and destroy millions of
landmines using microwaves and calls on the European Union to take the appropriate initiatives ;

25 . Consi ders it appropriate and in the interests of the Member States for the armaments sector
to be integrated into the internal market and accordingly calls for the deletion or amendment of
Article 223 of the EC Treaty at the next intergovernmental conference ;

26 . Maintains that the development of military intelligence instruments and technologies in
the context of the European Union should be deferred until the political conditions therefor have
been clearly established ;

27 . Considers there is an urgent need for joint research and cleamng-up operations in the areas
of the CIS contaminated by radiation, in cooperation with the republics concerned ;

28 . Calls for common rules for a restrictive arms export policy of the European Union based
on a binding list of criteria, strict control mechanisms and a Community policy with regard to the
Cocom provisions, which remain in force ;

29 . Believes that the European Union's security and defence policy should have a pan ­
European perspective which takes due account of the security policy interests of the countries of
central, eastern, north-eastern and south-eastern and Mediterranean Europe, including Russia,
and that a preferred forum for this should be the CSCE, in which the European Union acts jointly ;

25 . 4 . 94 Officiai Journal of the European Communities No C 114 / 25

Thursday, 24 March 1994

30 . Endorses the development of organic relations between the institutions of the European
Union and WEU and between the Union / WEU and the countries with which accession
negotiations-are currently being conducted and the countries with which Europe Agreements are
being concluded in order to prepare for their gradual and full involvement in all the European
Union's activities and which satisfy      - all the provisions of the United Nations Charter, the Final
Act of Helsinki and the provisions of the Charter of Paris concerning Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms, democracy and the rule of law ;

31 . Emphasizes, however, that relations between the Union / WEU and countries with which
accession negotiations are now under way or with which Europe Agreements are planned should
be conducted in such a way that these countries are made fully aware that membership of the
WEU as a military alliance is not an essential condition for accession to the European Union ;

32 . Considers it necessary for a full committee on security and defence to be set up
immediately after the elections to the new Parliament to ensure compliance with the provisions
of Title V of the Treaty on European Union ;

33 . Believes that, in view of the greater and growing importance of security and defence
questions as a subject for consideration by the European Union, the European Parliament must be
equipped with appropriate administrative infrastructure for this sector ;

34 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council, the
governments and parliaments of the Member States, the governments and parliaments of
applicant countries and the Secretaries-General of WEU, NATO, the CSCE and the United
Nations .

A. whereas the GATT contracting parties set out the topics, objectives, institutional structures

and timetable for the eighth multilateral round of GATT negotiations in the Punta del Este
declaration of September 1986,

B. whereas the GATT contracting parties undertook a mid-term review of the negotiations at
the ministerial conference held in Montreal in December 1988 ; whereas they did not succeed
in concluding the negotiations at the ministerial conference held in Brussels in December

1990 as planned,

C. whereas the GATT contracting parties have succeeded in reconciling their differences and
achieved wide-ranging results in many spheres in the past three years of negotiations,

D. whereas the Council decided on 15 December 1993 to approve the outcome of the Uruguay

Round of negotiations,

The results of the negotiations in general

1 . Notes with relief that after more than seven years of intensive negotiations the GATT
contracting parties have managed to bring the eighth and hitherto most ambitious multilateral
round of GATT negotiations, the failure of which would have had unforeseeable implications for
the world economy, to a successful conclusion ;

2 . Is convinced that the successful conclusion and the implementation of the results of the
Uruguay Round will act as a perceptible stimulus to growth and employment at a time when the
economy of the Western industrialized countries is in global recession ;

3 . Notes that the impact of the GATT agreement varies between developing countries and
even between ethnic groups, with a possible loss of national revenue in the next few years for the
food-importing countries of Africa south of the Sahara and the LDCs ; other developing
countries, however, for example textile-producing or food-producing countries, will benefit from
the GATT agreement and, in general, developing countries will be able to benefit from improved
market access for their export products ;

4 . Expresses its appreciation to the Commission, which conducted the negotiations on behalf
of the European Union ( EU ), for its success throughout the negotiations in effectively defending
the sometimes divergent interests of the EU ' s Member States against the other parties to the
negotiations ;

5 . Welcomes in particular the fact that the conclusion of the Uruguay Round has resulted in
the extension of the multilateral trade system to include such important spheres as trade in
services, the protection of intellectual property and rules on trade-related investment measures,
since the mere lowering of tariffs and non-tariff barriers to trade in goods is proving increasingly
inadequate in view of the advancing globalization of the world economy ;

6 . Is aware that a final judgment on the balance of the overall outcome of the negotiations will
not be possible until an in-depth study has been made of the contributions all GATT contracting
parties make on tariff reductions and the opening of the service sectors ;

25 . 4 . 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 114 / 27

Thursday, 24 March 1994

7 . Notes, however, on the basis of the results of the negotiations currently available, as set out
in die Final Act of 15 December 1993, that the negotiating objectives of Punta del Este have by
and large been achieved and in some respects even exceeded and that the results conform to thé
negotiating mandate which the Commission received from the Council before the negotiations
began ;

8 . Regrets however that the pledge given at Punta del Este to conduct an evaluation with a
view to ensuring effective application of the promised ' differential and more favourable
treatment ' for the developing countries before the formal completion of the negotiations has not
been fulfilled, and insists that this undertaking still stands ;

9 .      - Emphasizes that the outcome as a whole takes due account of the interests both of the EU
and its most important trading partners mid of the developing countries, which in many spheres
have been granted extensive derogations and longer transitional periods for the implementation
of the results ;

10 . Points out that the concessions made by certain partners fall short of their economic
potential in the case of tariff reductions and the opening of their servie » markets ;

11 . Acknowledges the major efforts made by many developing countries in agreeing to
extensive, often unilateral tariff reductions during the negotiations and in committing themselves
to these reductions in GATT ;

12 . Is convinced that the economic development of the developing countries will benefit from
the agreed liberalization of trade in agricultural products and in textiles and clothing, for
example ;

Institutional aspects

13 . Welcomes explicitly the establishment of a World Trade Organization ( WTO ) as a
framework encompassing all multi      - and plurilateral agreements negotiated in GATT ;

14 . Is particularly hopeful that more forceful and stringent dispute settlement procedures
within the WTO framework, possibly representing the beginnings of international trade
jurisdiction and incapable of being blocked by a single GATT member, will make a significant

contribution to reducing the number of bilateral trade conflicts ;

15 . Welcomes the fact that the contracting parties have reached agreement on a reinforced and
more complex system for resolving disputes which will make it possible to abandon unilateral
commercial defence measures which are not compatible with GATT rules ;

16 . Welcomes the fact that the EU as such will join its Member States as a WTO contracting
party and sees this as strengthening the common commercial policy of the EU for which
Article 113 of the EC Treaty provides ;

17 . Wishes to be informed in good time of the structure, bodies, working methods and
decision-making procedures of the WTO ;

18 . Insists, with a view to democratic control over the policy of the European Union and
implemention of the WTO and work in its bodies, on the assent of the European Parliament, as
## provided for in Article 228(3 ), second subparagraph, of the EC Treaty ;

Individual areas of the negotiations

( a ) Tariff reductions

19 . Notes with satisfaction that the tariff concessions as a whole will lead to a reduction in
tariff barriers to trade which will exceed the 30% target set at Punta del Este ;

20 . Is disappointed, however, that some industrialized countries, including the USA and
Japan, did not agree to a more significant reduction in their top tariff rates, with which they
protect themselves in particular against imports of textiles, clothing and leather goods ;

No C 114 / 28 Official Journal of the European Communities 25.4 .

Thursday, 24 March 1994

21 . Acknowledges explicitly the contributions made by many developing countries in
agreeing to extensive tariff reductions and their commitment to these reductions in GATT in line
with their move away from the concept of import substitution towards the concept of an
export-oriented development strategy ;

( b ) Agricultural tråde

22 . Appreciates that the EU had to agree to reduce support and protection for its farming
sector in order to comply with the Punta del Este negotiating objectives in this sphere, but is
convinced thai : these concessions will jeopardize neither the basic principles nor the fundamental
instruments of the common agricultural policy ( CAP ), which was reformed during the Uruguay
Round, as prescribed in the Commission's negotiating mandate ;

23 . Welcomes the fact that direct income subsidies, one of the main elements of the CAP
reform, have been accepted by the GATT contracting parties as complying with GATT and that
there is therefore no obligation to reduce them ;

24 . Calls on the Council and the Commission to ensure, pursuant to the Edinburgh
agreements, that direct payments for ' green box ' policies continue to be a feature of the budget
for the duration of the peace clause ;

25 . Refers in this context to the importance of the ' peace clause ' agreed for nine years,
whereby all the contracting parties commit themselves to refraining from taking action against
these forms of government subsidies by the GATT dispute settlement procedure ;

26 . Regards the agreed conversion of all restrictions on market access into equivalent tariff
rates ( tariffication ) and the reduction of these tariffs and of export subsidies by 36% and of
subsidized exports by 21% over a period of six years as a contribution to greater economic
rationality in agricultural trade ;

27 . Regards the agreement on substitution products as a binding commitment to restrict
imports of these products to the 1990 to 1992 level ;

28 . Urges the Commission, should the Uruguay Round agreements impose adjustment
burdens on agriculture in the EU in addition to those already arising from the CAP reform, to
consider how these burdens can be offset by further aid measures that conform to GATT ;

29 . Concedes that additional costs will arise for developing countries which are net importers
of agricultural products as a result of the expected increase in world market prices and therefore
welcomes the assurance of further aids to these countries for the development of their own
agricultural sectors ;

( c ) Textiles and clothing

30 . Is convinced that the 20 years of protection afforded by the Multifibre Arrangement have
given the European textile and clothing industry enough time to adjust and that it should
therefore be able to cope economically with the gradual reintegration of the trade in textiles into
GATT by the year 2005 ;

3 1 . Refers, moreover, to the improved GATT provisions on safeguard clauses in particular
and on the protection of intellectual property, which should afford the European industry better
protection against unfair foreign competitors and against imitations ;

32 . Emphasizes that the progressive liberalization of the trade in textiles played a major part in
gaining the developing countries ' approval of the inclusion of services and the protection of
intellectual property in the GATT rules and that they have also undertaken to open their markets
significantly to textile and clothing imports from the industrialized countries ;

25.4.94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 114 / 29

Thursday, 24 Mardi 1994

33 . Considers, however, that as regards market access the offers of several major suppliers are
unsatisfactory ; calls on the Commission, therefore, to continue the negotiations with great
resolution, seeking a withdrawal of the EU ' s tariff offer solely for those products for which the
main suppliers have not submitted a significant offer ;

( d ) GATT rules

34 . Welcomes the rewording of Article XIX of GATT on safeguard measures, which, by
introducing a degree of selectivity vis-à-vis the suppliers mainly responsible for the damage, will
permit the waiving of voluntary restraint agreements that do not comply with GATT should there
be a sharp rise in imports in the future ;

35 . Hopes that the rewording of the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy provisions will tighten up
the procedures and define them more clearly and so make both the protectionist abuse of this
# instrument and attempts to circumvent anti-dumping duties more difficult ;

36 . Expects to be consulted by the Council on any amendment to the EU ' s anti-dumping
Regulation to bring it into line with the revised GATT provisions ;

37 . Assumes that the agreement on subsidies will impose stricter discipline on all contracting
parties, thus reducing possible trade-distorting effects, while enabling the EU to maintain its
regional, environmental and research policies, which are essentially based on non-specific
government subsidies ;

( e ) Tråde in services

38 . Regards the establishment of multilateral rules on international trade in services set out in
the General Agreement on Trade in Services ( GATS ) as an urgently needed complement to the
world trade order ;

39 . Considers most-favoured-nation treatment, national treatment and the transparency of
government arrangements to be essential principles for trade in services, but is aware that service
markets, which are usually subject to extensive internal rules on access, can only be opened up
gradually ;

40 . Considers, therefore, the approach chosen by the contracting parties of negotiating not
only an agreement in principle, the GATS, but also national schedules of initial commitments
and exemptions from most-favoured-nation treatment in specific sectors for a limited period to
be objectively justified ;

41 . Is disappointed, however, that the USA in particular was not prepared to make a
significant contribution in the areas of financial services, sea transport and telecommunications
that would enable EU suppliers to enjoy conditions comparable to those which foreign suppliers
enjoy in the EU ' s internal market, but welcomes the continuing negotiations on these issues and
calls on all parties to continue these negotiations with a view to meeting their objectives within
the time-scale proposed ;

42 . Assumes that the agreements on trade in services will not prevent the audiovisual sector
from continuing to receive government assistance, which is considered essential for the
preservation of Europe's cultural identity ;

### ( f ) Protection of intellectual property

43 . Regards the agreement on the protection of trade-related intellectual property rights
( TRIPs ) as a decisive breakthrough in completing the world trade system, since it will lead to a
significant reduction in the trade       - distorting effects of differing or, in many cases, non-existent
national provisions ;

44 . Is aware that only major concessions by the developing countries made the approval of
this agreement possible, but also points out that better protection of intellectual property rights
will lead to an improvement in conditions for foreign investment in the developing countries ;

No C 1 14 / 30 Official Journal of the European Communities 25 . 4 . 94

Thursday, 24 March 1994

45 . Calls on the GATT contracting parties to incorporate into their national legislation without
delay the commitments entered into in the TRIPs agreement and also to provide for effective
sanctions where protected property rights are violated ;

( g ) Trade-related investment measures

46 . Hopes that the implementation of the agreement on trade-related investment measures
( TRIMs ) will further improve the investment climate especially in the developing and also the
newly industrializing countries, which have often pursued a discriminatory policy towards
foreign investors in the past ;

( h ) Developing countries

47 . Welcomes the fact that developing countries too will benefit from the outcome of the
Uruguay round and that their integration into the world market will be improved ; believes
however that further efforts are needed to establish a just world economic order which will
enable developing countries to secure equitable prices for their goods ;

48 . Notes that in the field of agriculture the losers from the outcome of the Uruguay round will
include Less Developed Countries ( LDCs ) which are at the same time net importers of food, and,
in addition to the aid announced, calls for development aid from the industrialized countries to be
increased at least to the UN target figure of 0,7% of GDP ;

49 . Welcomes the fact that within the framework of the WTO developing countries have been
authorized not to comply with all rules equally ; considers however that weaknesses remain in the
form to be taken by the WTO as regards the scope for ensuring that the interests of developing
countries are taken into account ; takes the view that the option of cross-retaliation as an
instrument of trade policy is irrelevant in the case of developing countries ; regards open
decision-making procedures within the WTO as absolutely essential ;

Concluding remarks

50 . Expects the procedures for the ratification of the outcome of the Uruguay Round to be set
in motion by all the GATT contracting parties immediately after the Marrakesh Ministerial
Conference, so that the implementation of the results may begin and the WTO launched in early

1995 ;

51 . Reaffirms its call to be consulted by the Council on the conclusion of the whole
negotiating package on behalf of the EU by the assent procedure defined in the second
subparagraph of Article 228(3 ) of the EC Treaty immediately after the package has been signed ;

52 . Will decide on its approval when it has been fully informed by the Council and
Commission of all aspects of the outcome of the negotiations and subject to the provisions of the
EC Treaty concerning assent ;

53 . Regrets that social policy aspects in the form of a social clause based on the minimum
standards established within the ILO framework were not discussed during the Uruguay Round
negotiations and therefore calls on the Commission to state clearly that it advocates putting the
subject of social clauses on the WTO ' s agenda ;

54 . Hopes that the GATT contracting parties will agree on a work programme for the WTO on
trade and the environment that enables greater account to be taken of environmental factors in the
world trade system in the future ;

55 . Sees the planned inclusion of elements of competition policy as a further significant
addition to the world trade order in view of their growing importance for the effective opening of
markets after the general lowering of tariff barriers to trade ;

56 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council, the
Member States, the Secretariat of GATT and the GATT contracting parties attending the
Ministerial Conference in Marrakesh from 12 to 15 April 1994 .

### 3 . Guidelines for 1995 budget

( a ) A3-0138 / 94

Resolution on the guidelines for the 1995 budget

Section III — Commission

The European Parliament,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets ( A3-0138 / 94 ),

A. whereas, unlike m the case of the 1993 and 1994 budgets, the negotiations for the 1995

budget will take place entirely in the context of the new Interinstitutional Agreement and the
financial perspective,

B. whereas the Council's decision to increase own resources, in particular to 1,21% of GNP in

1995, should take effect before the end of the year,

C. whereas, at present, Community GNP for 1995 is put at ECU 5 963,8 billion, the 1994 to

1995 deflator is estimated at 1,8% and economic growth at 3,1%,

D. whereas the financial perspective earmarks no appropriations to cover enlargement ; whereas

those appropriations will be taken into account after the revision of the financial perspective,
in accordance with Article 24 of the Interinstitutional Agreement,

E. whereas it is necessary to take into account in the budget the Community programme of
action on the environment and sustainable and environmentally acceptable development, the
approach and strategy for which were approved by the Council and the governments of the
Member States in the resolution of 1 February 1993, and the plan of action adopted by the
European Council in Brussels on 10 and 1 1 October 1993 in the light of the Commission's
White Paper, in particular Part IV thereof, entitled ' Towards a new model of development ',

1 . Points out that the 1995 procedure will be governed by the new provisions laid down m the
Interinstitutional Agreement of October 1993, in particular those concerning interinstitutional
cooperation ( ad hoc procedure for compulsory expenditure );

2 . Notes that the macroeconomic forecasts suggest that it will not be possible to finance all the
payments provided for in the financial perspective and that there will be a deficit of roughly
ECU 320 million between the ceiling of revenue from own resources and the expenditure in the
financial perspective ;

3 . Agrees with the Member States about the need for budgetary rigour in the present economic
circumstances, but warns the Council that it will not tolerate cuts being made in the Community
budget so as to achieve savings in national budgets ;

4 . Takes the view that this deficit must not be offset solely by means of cuts in differentiated
appropriations and is prepared to examine, under the trialogue procedure provided for in
Annex II . A to the Interinstitutional Agreement, arrangements to ensure that the revenue ceiling
is observed ;

5 . Draws attention to the provisions of the Treaty on European Union regarding the financing
of cooperation on justice and home affairs and the CFSP ; calls on the Council to initiate a
conciliation procedure on the budgetization of this expenditure ;

6 . Calls on the Commission and Council to integrate the budget headings of the ECSC Treaty,
with the corresponding amounts, into the preliminary draft budget and the draft budget ;

7 . Points out that Article 24 of the Interinstitutional Agreement stipulates that any enlarge ­
ment of the Community will necessitate a revision of the financial perspective and that,
accordingly, any speeding up of the timetable for enlargement must take into account the
revision of the financial perspective before the appropriations to cover that enlargement are
entered in budgets ; calls on the Institutions to highlight all the additional appropriations in
connection with the enlargement of the Community to be entered as from 1995 ;

No C 114 / 32 Official Journal of the European Communities 25 . 4 . 94

Thursday, 24 March 1994

As regards agriculture

8 . Deplores the fact that farm spending is continuing to increase to the full extent allowed by
the guideline, despite the risk that the guideline may be exceeded, and that the Council is taking
no practical steps to reduce spending ;

9 . Expresses concern at the trend in certain countries towards reductions in Community
spending matched by increases in national spending ; takes the view that a renationalization of the
CAP may introduce factors which distort competition ;

1 0 . Calls on the Commission to submit sectoral spending forecasts and to outline the measures
it intends to take to prevent expenditure from exceeding those sectoral forecasts ;

As regards the Structural Funds

1 1 . Notes that there will be a significant increase (+ 8% ) m Structural Fund resources ; regrets,
however, the Commission's slowness in submitting the Community initiative programmes ;

12 . Points out that these Community programmes should be used, at the Commission's
instigation, to fund measures in the sectors highlighted in Parliament's resolution of 28 October

1993 on the future of Community initiatives under the Structural Funds (');

As regards internai policies

13 . Takes the view that, in the light of the forthcoming adoption of the Fourth Framework
Programme of research, sufficient appropriations must be provided in 1995 to ensure its effective
launch and the implementation of the various specific programmes which now encompass all
aspects of Community research policy ;

14 . Takes the view that a solution must be found for programmes such as Thermie, which are
vital to the industrial policy of the European Union ;

15 . Points out that in the 1994 budget it provided for the funding of a measure to assist SMUs
with a view to encouraging job creation which should be consolidated in 1995 so as to help boost
economic recovery in the Member States ;

16 . Regards it as essential that measures to combat unemployment and foster economic
recovery should be stepped up in 1995 ; fully endorses the analysis and solutions put forward in
the Commission White Paper ; regards it as imperative that the Institutions should take every
possible step to secure, from the financial markets, the funding required to launch these

measures ;

17 . Is prepared to enter in the budget all the appropriations available, even though these
appropriations will make up only a tiny proportion of the budget, and proposals designed to
encourage other forms of financing will have to be put forward in the budget procedure ;

1 8 . Recognizes the legitimacy conferred on Community policies on education, training, youth
and culture by the new Articles 126 to 128 of the EC Treaty and points out that they therefore
imply the recognition of the contribution of these policies to the realization of a People's Europe,
to economic and social cohesion and to the strengthening of the European Union ; takes the view,
in consequence, that in order to meet these new challenges, a large number of education and
youth programmes which are due to expire in 1994 must be evaluated and constitute one of the
budgetary priorities for the 1995 financial year ;

1 9 . Calls on the Commission to outline clearly the appropriations which will be earmarked for
the Community's satellite agencies so that the work carried out can be assessed in relation to the
human resources employed ;

Thursday, 24 March 1994

As regards external policies

20 . Points out that appropriations were entered in the 1994 budget to fund joint measures
adopted by the Council in connection with the CFSP ; is prepared to consider the decisions which
the Council plans to take within the framework of the 1995 budget under the terms of Title V of
the Treaty on European Union ;

21 . Points out that the European Union must fulfil the undertakings it gave in Rio to increase
its efforts in the field of international environmental policy and the policy with regard to tropical
forests, for example ;

22 . Calls for the financial assistance for third countries and, in particular, NGOs to be
maintained ;

23 . Resolves to assess the progress made by the Commission in implementing the appropria ­
tions earmarked for the Phare and Tacis programmes before deciding what priority to attach to
those programmes ;

As regards administrative expenditure

24 . Takes the view that the Commission should outline how it intends to adjust its
administrative organization to cope with enlargement ;

25 . Points out that in 1995 it will be possible to continue the policy of converting
appropriations into posts only if a genuine reduction in external staff is achieved ;

26 . Reiterates its determination to complete the process of transferring the Structural Fund and
research mini-budgets to Part A of the budget ;

27 . Takes the view that the progress made in the sphere of interinstitutional cooperation is
completely unsatisfactory and calls on the Commission to submit practical proposals during the

1995 budget procedure ;

28 . Takes the view that the institutions should reach agreement on a coherent property policy
and calls on the interinstitutional working party on property problems to submit a report during
the budget procedure ;

29 . Reaffirms its support for the European Schools and its determination to promote their
development, with particular regard to :

— the take-up of new pupils after enlargement of the Community ;

— the participation of the Member States in the funding of part-time teachers and a more

precise definition of the financial obligations of the host countries and the school sponsors ;

— a reform of the tax compensation arrangements ;

— expansion of the information and careers advice centres for pupils and funding for the

training of volunteer teachers involved in counselling ;

— implementation of the budget decisions on the involvement of the budgetary authority in the

drawing-up of the budget and on the elimination of discriminatory recruitment practices and
the harmonization of recruitment procedures ;

drawing up its preliminary draft budget for 1995 ;

Resolution on the guidelines for the 1995 budget : Section I — European Parliament, Section II —
Council, Section IV — Court of Justice, Section V — Court of Auditors, Section VI — Economic

and Social Committee and Committee of the Regions

The European Parliament,

— having regard to its opinions of 17 November 1993 on the proposals for Regulations

amending the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of
the European Communities ('),

— having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets ( A3-0137 / 94 ),

A. whereas the 1995 budget procedure for the administrative budgets of the Community

institutions and bodies is governed by the Treaty on European Union and the Financial
Perspective annexed to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 29 October 1993 on budgetary
discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure ( 2 ),

B. whereas the Treaty on European Union involves a new presentation of the administrative
budgets for certain Community institutions and bodies,

C. stressing that the 1994 budget adopted on 16 December 1993 ( 3 ) did not include the entire
amount contained under heading 5, administrative expenditure, an amount of ECU 16 376
737 being available,

D. whereas negotiations are in progress between the European Union and the applicant states ;

1 . Considers that, on the basis of the macro-economic forecasts designed to provide the frame
of reference for the annual adjustments of the financial perspective, the amount available under
heading 5, administrative expenditure, should see a nominal increase of ECU 218 million,
1.e . 6%, by comparison with the 1994 financial year ; repeats its call for the submission of a SAB
for 1994 as soon as possible in order to avoid a counter-productive management of the budget of
the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions ;

2 . Stresses, however, that this estimate with regard to the increase in expenditure requires
account to be taken of trends in revenue available and forecasts on a deficit occurring for all
payment appropriations required for 1995 ( all categories together );

3 . Notes that certain administrative budgets, in particular those of new Community bodies
( Committee of the Regions ), could show increased demand for certain types of expenditure,
including buildings ; stresses, however, that these demands :

— will be considered in relation to the resources available under heading 5 ;

— will be subject to the submission of a financial statement which shows their schedule, based

on rational proposals and reasonable estimates ;

4 . Considers it necessary, therefore, to set justified priorities within each Community
institution and body in order to enable the budgetary authority to decide on the appropriate
arrangements when considering the draft budget for 1995 ; points out that, on 17 December 1993,
its competent committee called on all the Community institutions and bodies to submit their
multiannual forecasts for 1995 to 1999 ;

5 . Points out that the geographical dispersion of the administrative structures of the
Community institutions and bodies and the creation of new bodies pursuant to the Treaty on
European Union require an assessment of office space needs in order to allow the optimum
occupation of buildings ; calls, therefore, on the institutions and bodies concerned to submit their
plans for occupying and vacating buildings ;

means of the ' screening ' which is providing a useful tool for the budgetary authority ; reserves the
right, therefore, to examine the proposals for the establishment plan and the reorganization of
departments within each Community institution and body on the basis of the relevant reports ;

7 . Draws attention to the efforts made as regards interinstitutional cooperation and calls on the
Community institutions and bodies to identify further tasks or administrative activities in this

area ;

8 . Repeats its request for the drawing up of reports on the conditions for recycling different
materials, in particular paper, used by the institutions and the request to the Economic and Social
Committee for a report on data processing and to the Court of Justice on the drawing up of a
feasibility study on the publication of registers of Community law and national decisions relating
to Community law ;

9 . Recalls its resolution on the staff policy of the Community Institutions and in particular the
section dealing with parliamentary assistants ;

10 . Notes that an increase in the global amount available for parliamentary assistants is
required ;

1 1 . Considers that the negotiations on the enlargement of the European Union should from
now on involve the establishment of working hypotheses on the financial impact in the various
areas of administrative activity ; stresses, nevertheless, that the appropriations for heading 5,
administrative expenditure, do not at present cover the effects of any enlargement and draws
attention also to the provisions of the current interinstitutional agreement ;

1 2 . Takes the opportunity of the prospect of enlargement of the European Union to emphasize
that the administrative structures of the Community institutions and bodies must demonstrate
reliability and ensure the effectiveness and independence of the European public service ;

13 . Notes the progress made as regards the strengthening of a harmonized nomenclature and
repeats its invitation to continue it in the framework of the 1995 budget ;

14 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the institutions and bodies concerned

and to the Commission .

— having regard to the conclusions of its sponsored conference on Trade and the Environment

( the ' Striking the Green Deal ' conference ) held in the European Parliament on 7 to 9
November 1993 with participants representing the institutions of the European Union, the
governments of many GATT contracting parties North and South and the non-governmental
organizations,

— having regard to the Decision of the Trade Negotiations Committee of the GATT on

15 December 1993 to adopt a Work Programme on Trade and Environment in April 1994
during the GATT Ministerial Conference,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on External Economic Relations and the

opinion of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection
( A3-0150 / 94 ),

A. whereas the adoption of the Draft Final Act and the Decision on Trade and Environment
agreed by the TNC on 15 December 1993 is to be welcomed ; whereas however the Uruguay
Round will be incomplete and therefore not fully satisfactory until a proper programme of
measures to tackle the frictions between the full application of trade rules and the correct and
necessary protection and preservation of the global environment has been agreed,

B. whereas such frictions can only be resolved on a global basis by means of multilateral
agreements compatible with the rules established by a properly functioning WTO in
conformity with its preambular commitments between the contracting parties involved,

C. whereas the political commitment of the developed and developing countries to the
objectives of pursuing sustainable development and the protection and preservation of the
global environment in agreeing to the TNC Decision of 15 December 1993 should be
welcomed and fully recognized ; whereas moreover the developed and developing countries
share a common interest in participating fully in the work of the WTO and its subsidiary
bodies in all their aspects,

D. whereas the establishment of a ' horizontal ' Permanent Committee on Trade and the
Environment within the WTO structure by 15 April 1994 is absolutely necessary not only to
ensure the compatibility of all the actions of the WTO with its preambular commitment to the
protection and preservation of the global environment, but equally to ensure Parliamentary
ratification of the results of the successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round, most notably in
the European Union and the United States of America,

1 . Submits to the Commission the following recommendations :

( a ) to call on the Ministerial Conference of the GATT, meeting in April 1 994, to agree and adopt

a Work Programme on Trade and the Environment containing all, or as many as possible as
time allows, of the following areas :

— a fully worked out programme of measures to follow up the Unced Conference, notably

in terms of Chapter 2.22 of the Agenda 21 programme, the Convention for the Protection
of Biological Diversity and Principle 12 of the Rio Declaration ;

— measures to ensure that GATT accommodates the Montreal, Basel and Cites Conven ­

tions and all other equivalent multilateral conventions, and to establish guidelines for the
trade-related aspects of future multilateral conventions including specifically those
relating to the application of fiscal instruments to achieve global environmental goals ;

25 . 4 . 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 114 / 37

Thursday, 24 March 1994

— agreement to work out guidelines and general principles on the trade-related aspects of

measures to enhance sustainable development in accordance with the need to protect and
preserve the environment ;

— a fully worked out programme of measures to establish the principles and institutional

mechanisms for integrating into a coherent system all the work of the WTO and its
subsidiary bodies concerning the environment, and in particular the establishment of a
full permanent Committee on Trade and the Environment in Article IV.7 of the
Agreement establishing the WTO ;

— a properly coordinated review of Article XX of the GATT and Article XIV of the

General Agreement on Trade in Services ( GATS ), together with all other such rules and
disciplines covered by the WTO as they apply to the protection and preservation of the
environment and the promotion of sustainable development, and where necessary to
recommend the appropriate provisions and measures to ensure that the WTO ' s activities
are fully compatible with all of its objectives ;

( b ) where time does not allow all of the above areas to be included in the Work Programme by

15 April 1994, to call on the Ministerial Conference to provide the appropriate mechanisms
for the remaining areas to be included in the Work Programme as soon as practically
possible ;

2 . Calls on the Commission in so doing to observe the following principles :

— environmental clauses must not have a protectionist effect benefiting the industrialized

countries ;

— environmental clauses must be accompanied by an increase in development aid ;

3 . Recognizes that, although the Preamble to the Agreement establishing the World Trade
Organization constitutes the first time that the GATT has explicitly taken account of the need to
protect and preserve the environment and promote sustainable development in the world's
trading system, on its own this is insufficient and the provisions need to be substantially
reinforced in order to ensure the smooth progress of the results of the Uruguay Round through the
parliamentary ratification process, notably within the European Union and the United States ;

4 . Recognizes that many of the most threatened environments m the world are in the less
developed countries of the world and stresses its belief in the need for wholehearted involvement
of developing countries in the protection of the world's resources ; recognizes the historic
suspicion in the South of Northern protectionism which must be overcome if global or
multilateral environmental agreements are to be successfully concluded and enforced ; further
recognizes that such suspicion was reinforced by the predominant role played by the US and the
EU in the closing months of the Uruguay Round negotiations ;

5 . Recognizes that the transitional period between the Ministerial Conference in Marrakesh
and the formal establishment of the WTO will be the crucial moment for the working out in full of
the Trade and Environment Work Programme and therefore calls for the establishment of a full
committee under Article IV.7 of the WTO Agreement and for a suspension of all dispute
settlement actions relating to national or multilateral environmental regulations or agreements
until the work of the Interim Committee has been completed and the full committee established ;

6 . Insists that the current practice that the global commons is left totally unregulated where
specific agreed international treaties or agreements do not apply can no longer be tolerated ; calls
therefore for agreement to a general set of principles as to sustainable use and environmentally
sound exploitation of all natural resources to be applied in the absence of more specific
multilaterally agreed rules, including their trade aspects, which shall be applied by the GATT ;

7 . Recognizes, on the one hand, that nothing in the GATT prevents any single contracting
party from maintaining the highest level of environmental standards as far as goods or services
imported into its territory are concerned ; recognizes equally, however, that legal certainty would
be greatly enhanced by the application of the definition of trade restrictiveness contained in the
footnote to paragraph 21 of the SPS Agreement to, inter alia, Article 14 of the TBT Agreement
and within the context of the review of Article XIV of the GATS ;

8 . Expresses its deep regret at the weakness of the ITTO Agreement on tropical timber
reached in Geneva in January and urges the European Union to demand enhanced rules on
sustainability within the ITTO and to make available more of its own budgetary resources for
sustaining tropical timber ;

9 . Insists that all subsidiary bodies of the WTO, especially those dealing with dispute
settlement, and the full Trade and Environment Committee in particular, be advised by a
permanent group of independent and recognized experts on environmental and resource
management issues within the WTO ;

10 . Reminds the Commission, the Member States and the Secretariat of the GATT that, in
accordance with Article 228(3 ) of the EC Treaty, the GATT Agreement will require the assent of
the European Parliament in order to be duly ratified and urges them to draw the necessary
conclusions with regard to real progress being made on the Trade and Environment Work

annexed to the Treaty on European Union reaffirms the
Community's task of promoting economic and social
cohesion and solidarity between Member States and

subject to two conditions, firstly that they have a per
capita gross national product ( GNP ) of less than 90% of
the Community average and secondly that they have a
programme leading to the fulfilment of the conditions of

providing for a considerable degree of flexibility in
examining national compliance with budgetary disci ­
pline, taking into account, inter alia, the medium term
economic and budgetary position of the Member States ;
whereas, moreover, Article 104c also establishes a multi ­
stage process which gives the Member State in question a
series of opportunities to correct an excessive deficit
within a given time period ; whereas sanctions by the
Council can only be taken at the end of this process in the
case where a Member State persists in failing to put into

1 . Takes the view that the European Union must be in a position to deal with the new
challenges posed by the changes to the international political status quo, employing a security
model geared to the prevention and peaceful settlement of armed conflicts, a model which pays
particular attention to the problems of ethnic minorities and new nationalist movements and to
the safeguarding of security in the global sense of ecological, social and economic balance ; with
that aim in view, the European Union must commit itself to cooperation under the auspices of the
CSCE and the United Nations, whilst military action not solely for peace-keeping purposes must
be regarded as a last resort ;

2 . Urges that European security policy be explicitly linked to the conversion to civilian
purposes of the arms industry ;

3 . Welcomes the Commission's ECU 130 million Konver programme, which in addition to
the practical aid for areas facing defence cuts, also reaffirms the political responsibility to these
regions first acknowledged in the Perifra programme ;

4 . Recognizes the need for EU programmes to help convert the Eastern and Central European
defence industries and reaffirms its above-mentioned resolution of 27 May 1993 calling for
US$ 5 billion for a programme of East / West joint ventures ;

5 . Calls on the Commission, however, to put forward proposals in the near future for the
creation of a separate budget heading for the Konver programme, thereby removing the
restrictions imposed by the Structural Fund eligibility criteria ; calls, further, for the funding
earmarked for the Konver programme to be increased to ECU 300 million ;

6 . Calls for all redundant human resource skills within the defence sector to be transferred to
the new high-tech industry Europe must constantly develop if it is to compete with Japan and the
United States ;

7 . Reaffirms its rejection of attempts by arms manufacturers to offset cuts in national defence
spending by an export drive and calls on Member State governments to refrain from encouraging
this ;

8 . Calls for the arms industry to be brought within the scope of the EU through the deletion of
Article 223 of the EC Treaty ;

9 . Urges in the short term an interpretation of Article 223 which would not hinder the creation
of an internal market in the defence sector ;

10 . Stresses the importance of having a clear division of responsibilities in each Member State
between departments dealing with the licensing and promotion of military and dual-use exports ;

1 1 . Stresses, however, the need to prevent the internal market reducing EU controls on arms
exports, as a result of the inadequate or laissez-faire laws of its ' weakest links ';

12 . Urges the Council to adopt a common arms procurement policy so that the European
market can sustain a restructured European defence industry ;

13 . Calls on the German Government to refrain from relaxing the guidelines governing the
export practices of private companies taking part in coproduction arrangements, and to play a
leadership role during their Presidency to ensure that harmonization of arms export policy takes
place at the higher levels of control ;

14 . Welcomes the success of the European Council in drawing up common criteria to apply to
military exports from the Member States of the Union and urges the Union to now define and
implement its own Code of Conduct with regard to such exports, based on the higher levels of
existing controls ;

No C 1 14 / 60 Official Journal of the European Communities 25 . 4 . 94

Thursday, 24 March 1994

15 . Calls on the Council, therefore, to :

( i ) agree a common interpretation of the European Council's criteria laid down in June 1991

governing arms and dual-use export controls based on the highest levels of existing controls,
and to draw up a list of countries to which arms exports will be controlled, restricted or
prohibited ;

( ii ) devote greater efforts to verifying the final destination and end use of exported arms and

dual-use goods involving the importing country's customs authorities authenticating the
arrival of goods and checking the utilization of goods through embassy or consular staff ;

( iii ) introduce a procedure of prior notification between Member States of all exports of major

conventional weapons in order that they can establish whether or not the criteria for exports
have been breached ;

( iv ) harmonize the system of penalties so that fraudulent exports are rendered economically

unviable ;

( v ) take account of the UN General Assembly's resolution of 16 December 1993 which calls on

all states to institute export moratoria on anti-personnel mines which pose grave dangers and
to put it into effect through national moratoria ;

( vi ) ensure that all decisions of principle concerning exports of arms and dual-use goods are

publicly disclosed to the national and European Parliaments ;

16 . Believes that the EU must initiate a global debate on the need sharply to reduce arms
exports to the Third World ;

17 . Stresses that a restrictive and controlled arms export policy ( including dual-use goods )
exercised by the EC must be made part of a world-wide agreement to ensure that other
international suppliers do not exploit restrictions on Community exports to increase their own
exports ;

18 . Calls on the Council and Commission to draw up a comprehensive proposal — to be
submitted also to international political and financial institutions, such as the UN, the IMF and
the World Bank — to reward individual countries which take steps to cut back or do away with
their weapons of mass destruction by reducing and / or cancelling their foreign debt or through the
granting of loans on particularly advantageous terms ;

19 . Calls for a proactive and coercive approach towards non-proliferation, particularly with
regard to the NPT Extension and Review Conference to be held in 1995 ;

20 . Calls on France, the United Kingdom, the United States and Russia to observe the current
moratoria on nuclear testing and to exert strong diplomatic pressure on China to give an
undertaking to the other powers not to carry out nuclear tests, bearing in mind that a moratorium
is the essential first step towards a complete ban on nuclear testing ( which the European

No C 114 / 62 Official Journal of the European Communities 25.4 . 94

Thursday, 24 March 1994

A. whereas it has repeatedly adopted the position that the accession of new Member States to

the European Community will require further reforms of the Community system, especially
with regard to the deepening of the principles and objectives on which political union is
based ( see, for example, its resolution of 7 April 1992 on the results of the intergovernmental
conferences ) ('),

B. whereas Article J.4 ( 1 ) of the Treaty on European Union states that the common foreign and
security policy ( CFSP ) includes the eventual framing of a common defence policy, which
might in time lead to a common defence,

C. convinced that a common foreign, security and defence policy must be seen primarily as a

policy of preventing conflicts and maintaining peace and that militaiy considerations and
measures must be regarded as a last resort,

D. appreciating the extremely positive contribution by certain applicant countries to maintain ­

ing peace and reducing conflicts in the past within international organizations, in terms both
of manpower and of civilian and military resources, and taking the view that the European
Union could usefully take advantage of the wide experience they have acquired to widen
significantly its own field of action in this area,

E. whereas, in view of the growing number of trouble-spots in and outside Europe, there is a
greater need than ever for the European Union to use its political and economic weight to
prevent and resolve conflicts,

F. whereas their geopolitical position and their history give the applicant countries special
opportunities and tasks in the shaping of relations with the European Union's eastern
neighbours that are positive and can maintain peace,

G. whereas all four countries with which accession negotiations are currently being conducted

have made it clear that they accept the acquis communautaire and the provisions of the
Treaty on European Union concerning the common foreign and security policy,

H. whereas Article J. 1 0 of the Treaty on European Union provides for the possibility of

reviewing the provisions concerning the common foreign and security policy with the aim of
deepening the integration process,

I. whereas, with the exception of Norway, none of the applicant countries with which
negotiations are currently being conducted belongs to a security alliance,

J. whereas Finland, Austria, Norway and Sweden have very different legal provisions as
regards security ; whereas this must be taken into account during the accession negotiations,

K. whereas all four countries have shown a strong commitment to the CSCE process and to the

UN peacekeeping forces in the past,

L. whereas other countries, such as Malta and Cyprus, have submitted official applications for
membership and various countries in Central and Eastern Europe, chief among them the
Visegrad countries, have also expressed a definite interest in membership of the European
Union ; whereas the prospect of full membership of these countries is mentioned in the
preambles to the European agreements concluded with them,

M. convinced that the concept of neutrality should be redefined now that the East-West

confrontation has come to an end,

N. convinced that genuine and lasting political cohesion of the European Union can not be

imposed artificially but must inevitably take account of the historical bases underlying the
specific cultural identity of each country and be based on the spontaneous will of the people
of the applicant countries, as well as on a gradual process of harmonization of the different
security policies of both the Member States and the applicant countries,

25 . 4 . 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 1 14 / 63

Thursday, 24 March 1994

O. aware that Austria ' s neutral status may pose problems during the accession negotiations with

respect, for example, to participation in joint measures and joint action pursuant to Title V,
Article J. 1 ( 3 ) of the Treaty on European Union,

P. aware that, in a number of recent statements, the Austrian Government has clearly expressed
its desire to participate unconditionally in the future development of the CFSP,

Q. aware that not all the Member States of the present European Union have the same security

links with WEU, for example, and that even before the Union's enlargement this may pose
problems for the drafting and implementation of decisions and actions of the Union which
have defence implications,

R. convinced that the neutral applicant countries too should see the European Union's security
and defence policy dimension as a positive element in the process of European integration,

S. whereas the public of certain applicant countries may be reluctant to see their country
participating in the development of the defence policy dimension within the framework of
the European Union,

T. convinced that the enlargement of the European Union must entail institutional reforms
aimed at deepening the process of Community-building within the framework of the
European Union if the Union's capacity to function is to be maintained,

U. convinced that the framing of a Community foreign, security and defence policy is and

remains an essential goal for the development of the European Union, provided that the
common foreign and security policy is not reduced to complex intergovernmental negotia ­
tions under the close political and operational control of NATO and the WEU, far removed
from genuine parliamentary supervision and the will of the people, and focused on the
military dimension rather than on disarmament and policies to promote peace and human
rights,

1 . Believes that enlargement must lead to the strengthening of the European Union s internal
cohesion and the enhancement of its capacity for effective action under the foreign and security
policy ;

2 . Welcomes the fact that all the applicant countries with which negotiations have begun are
prepared to accept the provisions of the Treaty on European Union concerning the common
foreign and security policy without qualification ;

3 . Appreciates the contribution made by Norway to security policy within the Atlantic
Alliance, and the numerous security and peace initiatives by the other three applicant countries
through their active peace policy in the CSCE and the UN and as mediators between conflicting
parties in the field of international relations ;

4 . Is aware Finland, Austria, Norway and Sweden have security arrangements which differ in
quality and scope and that this must be taken into account during the accession negotiations ;

5 . Emphasizes the need for uniform criteria to be applied when the compatibility of the
security status of applicant countries with the provisions on the common foreign and security
policy is appraised and for future accession negotiations to be based on the same criteria ;

6 . Emphasizes the need for the applicant countries to be able to participate fully and actively in
the foreign and security policy for which the Treaty on European Union provides as soon as they
accede to the European Community ;

7 . Hopes that on their accession the applicant countries will accept fully and unconditionally
all the goals of the Treaty on European Union, the provisions of Title V and the relevant
declarations annexed to the Treaty ;

No C 1 14 / 64 Official Journal of the European Communities 25 . 4 . 94

Thursday, 24 March 1994

8 . Urges that the accession negotiations should include exhaustive talks between the
institutions of the European Union and the applicant countries on the development of a common
foreign and security policy ;

9 . Is convinced that the full involvement of the applicant countries in the common foreign and
security policy after their accession would contribute to the stabilization of peace and security
throughout the continent of Europe ;

10 . Is of the opinion that the development of a common security and defence policy within the
framework of the European Union is also in the intrinsic security interests of the applicant
countries ;

1 1 . Notes that the possible accession of countries which are traditionally neutral and yet make
a very active contribution to the peace operations of non-partisan international organizations is
an opportunity which must be seized by the European Union to increase its own contribution to
such operations and to create operative civilian bodies and structures for the prevention,
reduction, mediation and settlement of conflicts ;

12 . Hopes that, after their accession, all the applicant countries will participate actively and
constructively in the eventual framing of a common defence policy, which might in time lead to a
common defence ;

13 . Hopes that the public m the applicant countries will share the conviction that a common
foreign, security and defence policy is commensurate with their own security interests and is an
essential ingredient of a European Union ;

14 . Believes that a common defence within the framework of the European Union must be
purely defensive in nature and should include mutual assistance obligations similar to those set
out in the provisions of Article V of the modified Brussels Treaty ;

15 . Emphasizes, in view of the growing number of trouble-spots requiring internationally
coordinated action, the need for the European Union to be able to act as a peacekeeping and
peace-making force in accordance with Article 5 1 of the UN Charter ;

16 . Welcomes the fact that various applicant countries have participated actively and with
commitment in the CSCE process and in United Nations peacekeeping missions on many
occasions in the past and believes that this augurs well for the European Union's ability to pursue
an active common policy of preventing and resolving conflicts in the future under the CFSP ;

17 . Hopes that the countries with which accession negotiations are being conducted will
participate in peacekeeping or peace-making missions of the European Union, possibly even
before their accession and as far as their constitutions allow ;

18 . Suggests that it should be considered whether and to what extent countries with which
accession negotiations are being conducted might participate in joint action pursuant to Article
J. 1 ( 3 ) of the Treaty on European Union even before their accession ;

19 . Hopes that the applicant countries will examine, where necessary, the provisions of their
constitutions for their compatibility with the development of a common defence within the
framework of the European Union and arrange for any amendments that may need to be made ;

20 . Points out that the provisions of Title V, Article J.4(2 ) of the Treaty on European Union
make the Western European Union responsible during a transitional period for the elaboration
and implementation of decisions and actions of the European Union which have defence
implications and therefore hopes that the applicant countries will consider the legal and political
possibility of participating in the WEU's activities pending their accession to the European
Union ;

25 . 4 . 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 114 / 65

Thursday, 24 March 1994

2 1 . Hopes that all Member States of the European Union which do not yet belong to the WEU
will take steps to become full members, which forms an integral part of the European Union
pursuant to Title V, Article J.4(2 ), in order to further the cohesion of the Union as a whole and to
preclude the risk of a ' Europe à la carte ' ;

22 . Considers that there is no point in countries which can not also become full members of the
European Union becoming full members of the WEU ;

23 . Does not believe that membership of the NATO and WEU military alliances is a necessary
precondition for accession to the European Union, but recognizes that the CSCE is an
appropriate body to act as a regional system for the prevention and peaceful settlement of
conflicts and therefore calls on the Member States of the Union and the applicant countries
( which are all already members of the CSCE ) to undertake to strengthen the structures and
decision-making efficiency of this body ;

24 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the
parliaments of the Member States, the Parliaments and Governments of Austria, Cyprus,
Finland, Malta, Norway and Sweden and the CSCE, WEU and NATO secretariats .
