17. Order of business

The next item was the order of business.

The following spoke:

— Mr Zeller who referred to the enlarged Bureau's
decision to hold special meetings, open to all members,
to deal with Council and Commission statements, and

wondered whether this decision was in agreement with
the Rules of Procedure; he asked for the matter to be
referred to the Committee on the Rules of Procedure
(the President replied that this decision had been taken
by the enlarged Bureau in compliance with Rule 24);

— Mr McCartin, who asked under Rule 56 that the
President of the Commission make a statement on the
Commission's negotiating brief (the President drew his
attention to the provisions of Rule 74 (1));

— Mr Titley, who protested at statements made by
the chairman of Parliament's Delegation for Relations
with the Gulf States and the Gulf Cooperation Council
at a press conference to the effect that the Commission
was willing to speed up the cooperation agreement process, but that this would imply the loss of a number of
jobs in the Community.

The President announced that the draft agenda for that
part-session (PE 144.752) had been distributed, and
that the following changes had been made or proposed
to it (Rules 73 and 74):

_Monday, 8 October 1990:_

the second Gil-Robles report on the request for the
waiver of Mr Le Pen's immunity (Item 223) had not
been tabled by the committee responsible and had
therefore been withdrawn from the agenda;

at the request of the EDA Group, their oral questions
with debate to the Commission on forgery in the world
(B 3-1506/90) and on negotiations within GATT on the
international commercial aspects of trade-related intellectual property measures (TRIPS) (B 3-1507/90) had
been included in the debate on the Stavrou report on
GATT (A 3-0215/90).

_Tuesday, 9 Ocotber:_

to enable Mr De Michelis, _President-in-Office of the_
_Council,_ to speak in the debate on the Romeos report
on the CSCE (A 3-0226/90), the first two items on the
draft agenda had been interchanged, with the result
that the Romeos report would now be taken before the
joint debate on the Ford report (A 3-0195/90) and the
two oral questions on racism and xenophobia (Items
227 and 228);

at the request of the RB Group, their oral question with
debate to the Commission (B 3-1508/90) had been
included in the debate on the Romeos report.

The following spoke:

— Mr Ford, who pointed out that the President had
not mentioned as being included in the debate the oral

No C 284/16 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Monday, 8 October 1990

question with debate tabled by the RB Group to EPC
(B 3-1516/90) (the President replied that the matter
would be investigated);

— Mr Langer, who asked that oral questions 0-268
and 0-269/90 on CSCE also be included in the debate
(the President replied that this too would be looked
into);

— Mr Wijsenbeek, who referred to earlier debates on
racism and xenophobia and expressed surprise at the
fact that Mr Ford would be allowed to speak first in
Tuesday's debate although Mr Nordmann was the first
signatory of the oral questions included in the joint
debate (the President replied that the enlarged Bureau
had discussed the matter and a broad consensus had
been reached);

— Mr Nordmann, on Mr Wijsenbeek's comments,
who asked that the Rules of Procedure be always
applied in the same way, and that account be taken of
precedents;

— Mr Ford, Mrs Roth, Mr Gollnisch and Mr Galland, on Mr Wijsenbeek's comments (the President
pointed out that Mr Ford would have five minutes'
speaking time in his capcity as rapporteur and that the
first signatory of the oral questions would have the
same speaking time).

— the ED Group had asked for a statement from the
Council under Rule 56 on the informal meeting held by
the Foreign Minsters in Venice.

Mr Jackson spoke.

Parliament agreed by electronic vote to include this
item on the agenda subject, of course, to the agreement
of the Council (it would be entered after the debate on
the Romeos report).

the group chairmen had decided to propose the inclusion, in joint debate with the oral question by Mr Van
Outrive to the Council on the cooperation procedure
(B 3-1322/90), of an oral question by Mr Prag, on
behalf of the ED Group to the Council on the same
subject. In the meantime, the ED Group had asked for
this item to be deleted from the agenda. [! ]

Mr Prag spoke.

Parliament rejected the ED Group's request by electronic vote (there were now two oral questions on the
agenda).

at the request of the Committee on Social Affairs and
the SOC Group, the Nianias report on the elderly
(A 3-0222/90) scheduled for Friday as Item 255 had
been brought forward and entered after the joint debate
on the three reports of the Committee on Social Affairs
(Items 236 to 238).

Mr de Vitto protested at the lack of consideration being
shown with regard to the position of the report on the
agenda and asked that it be held over to the next partsession.

Mr Galland spoke on the request.

Parliament rejected the request.

the vote on the request for an early vote on the motions
for resolutions to wind up the debate on the Commission statement on Rover _(part I, item 7 of minutes of_ _14_
_September_ _1990)_ was included at voting time at noon.

Question Time to the Council and EPC, scheduled to
be held from 3 to 4.30 p.m., would now be held from
5.30 to 7 p.m. so as not to split the debate on racism.

_Wednesday, 10 October:_

— the LDR Group had asked that the debate on
cooperation with the countries of Easter Europe be
held in the presence of the Council, before the joint
debate on the Herman report and six oral questions on
economic and monetary union.

Mr Giscard d'Estaing spoke on behalf of the LDR
Group.

Parliament rejected the request.

two oral questions to the Commission on economic
and monetary union were included in the joint debate
on the Herman report and six oral questions on the
same subject: the first by the ED Group (B 3-1512/90)
and the second by the EDA Group (B 3-1513/90), the
latter withdrawing their oral question B 3-1319/90
(item 179); the group chairmen had proposed that the
authors of questions should not be accorded any speaking time in order to allow more time for the debates;

as the Council was unable to be present for the joint
debate on cooperation with the countries of Eastern
Europe (items 241 and 242), the oral question with
debate put to it (B 3-1503/90) was withdrawn, but the
following oral questions to the Commission were
added:

by the SOC Group (B 3-1509/90) on financial aid for
Central and Eastern Europe,

by the Green Group (B 3-1511/90) on the association
agreement with Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary,

by the EPP Group (B 3-1514/90) on cooperation with
the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

The following spoke:

— Mr Donnelly on the British Government's decision
to join the EMS; he asked that the Council and Commission make statements on this decision (the President replied that his request should have been submitted at least an hour before the opening of the sitting);

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/17

Monday, 8 October 1990

— Mr B. Simpson on a technical matter relating to
the interpreting of Members' speeches;

— Mr de la Malene who protested at the President's
announcement to the effect that authors of oral questions included in the joint debate on economic and
monetary union would have no speaking time (the
President replied that this was merely a proposal made
by the group chairmen).

_Thursday, 11 October:_

The following spoke:

— Mr Klepsch on the previous speaker's comments;
he asked that the oral question with debate on the
implementation of the Community budget for 1990
(item 249) be brought forward and taken as the first
item on Thursday afternoon (the President agreed to
this);

— Mr White on the Commission's timetable for the
week;

— Mr McGowan who asked that the Commission
make a statement on the Community's relations with
South Africa;

— Mr Collins who protested at the number of
requests for additions to the agenda;

— Mrs Vayssade who asked that the Sarlis report
(A 3-0239/90) be referred back to committee under
Rule 103 as the Legal Affairs Committee had been
asked to give an opinion on the legal basis which was
being contested by the committee responsible.

Parliament agreed to this request.

at 3 p.m., the Commission would make a statement on
speculation on oil prices;

this would be followed by a further Commission statement on Goodman;

at the request of the Committee on Development, the
Saby report on food aid (A 3-0214/90) would be taken
without debate, and put to the vote on Friday;

the Commission statement on the transport of nuclear
waste by ferry (item 250) would be followed by a further statement on the storage and processing of nuclear
waste at Dounreay.

_Friday, 12 October:_

— the LU Group had asked for a Commission statement on trade relations between EEC countries and
third countries in the automobile sector, particularly
following the recent negotiations between the Commission and Japan.

Mr Wurtz spoke on behalf of the LU Group.

Parliament rejected the request.

The following spoke:

— Mr Schodruch, who enquired when his report
would be debated;

— Mr Wurtz, on the decision just taken by Parliament; he proposed that the Commission make a statement of its own accord during that part-session or the
next;

— the LDR Group had asked that the Presidency
make a statement on the decisions (notably after the
meetings of 20 September and 1 and 2 October) relating
to the preparations for the conference of parliaments of
the European Community.

The President pointed out that the matter was under
consideration in the enlarged Bureau.

Mr Giscard d'Estaing spoke on behalf of the LDR
Group to ask for the Assembly to be informed of decisions taken in connection with preparation for the
Conference of Parliaments of the Community and that
discussion should not be restricted to the enlarged
Bureau.

The President expressed the view that, rather than have
a statement, it would be preferable to bring the matter
before the House by means of a motion for a resolution
from the political groups and that until then, the question would remain with the enlarged Bureau.

Mr Anastassopoulos spoke on the length of time
devoted to debating the agenda.

The order of business was thus established.

_Requests for application of the procedure without debate_
(Rule 38)

— to the second P. Beazley report (first reading) on
the equipment of motor vehicles (A 3-0220/90) (it
would be put to the vote at 5 p.m. on Wednesday);

the beginning of Friday morning);

— to the Saby report on the apportionment of cereals
provided as food aid (A 3-0214/90) (item 248) (it would
be put to the vote at the beginning of Friday morning).

Council a proposal for a regulation which, in view of
recent events, urgently required a decision.

Parliament would be consulted on the requests for
urgent procedure at the beginning of Tuesday's sitting.

18. Deadlines for tabling amendments and motions for

MINUTES OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE SITTING OF TUESDAY,

9 OCTOBER 1990

(90/C 284/02)

PART I

Proceedings of the sitting

IN THE CHAIR: MR BARON CRESPO

_President_

_(The sitting was opened at 9.05 a.m.)_

1. Approval of minutes

The following spoke:

— Mrs Ewing, who asked for lighting in the Chamber
before the sitting opened so that members could work
there if they wished (the President replied that members
had their own offices to work in);

— MrPannella;

— Mr Vandemeulebroucke, who referred to the serious incidents which had taken place the previous day
in Jerusalem and called for this subject to be discussed
as part of the topical and urgent debate (the President
replied that this possibility would be considered);

— Mr Balfe, to complain about the shortage of copies
of the Ford report (A 3-0195/90) in distribution (the
President said that there were ample copies of the
report);

— Mr McMahon, who objected to the fact that the
Committee on Women's Rights had been made the
committee responsible for the Commission communication on a Community initiative to promote equal
opportunities for women in employment and professional training — INITIATIVE 'NOW (C 3-0315/90)
instead of the Committee on Social Affairs;

— Mrs Mebrak-Zai'di and Mr Ford, who said that,
although they had been present, they had forgotten to
sign the attendance register;

— Mr McGowan, who, referring to his comments
concerning the order of business (under Thursday, 11
October), pointed out that his request was based on
Rule 56 and wanted the Commission, on its own initiative, to make a statement on relations between the EEC
and South Africa (the President said that the Commission had not so far informed him of any such intention).,

The minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

Mrs Roth asked the Presidency whether it had received
a letter signed by ten Members who were signatories of
oral questions with debate on the report of the Com

mittee of Inquiry into Racism and Xenophobia (B 31328, 1327 and 1329/90).

The President said that he had received this letter in
which the signatories pursuant to Rule 58 (4), opposed
the fact that Mr Nordmann, the first signatory of the
oral question, would move the questions.

The following spoke:

— Mrs Roth, who referred to the text of Rule 58 (4),
second subparagraph, said that Mr Nordmann, who
was the only signatory of the question to have voted
against the Ford report in committee, represented a
minority and was therefore not qualified to argue for
the majority position of the committee;

— Mr Nordmann, who pointed out that the custom in
Parliament was for the first signatory of an oral question to move it and that the Rules of Procedure and
precedents should be respected (the President said that
the Committee on the Rules of Procedure had been
asked to give its interpretation of Rule 119 (2) but had
not yet done so and proposed that, in the absence of
any ruling on this matter, the 16 signatories of the oral
question should meet that morning, possibly under the
chairmanship of a Vice-President, to reach an agreement) ;

— Mr Langer, who suggested that the problem could
be solved if Mr Nordmann withdrew to allow another
signatory to move the question;

— Mr Galland, who pointed out that the rapporteur,
Mr Ford, would be speaking to outline the majority
position in the committee and asked for Parliament to
vote on the issue of who should move oral questions;

— Mr Wijsenbeek, who argued that other members
should not have co-signed Mr Normann's oral questions if they disagreed with his views;

— Mr Ford, in reply to Mr Wijsenbeek, pointing out
that the oral question had been tabled before the final
vote on his report and that Mr Nordmann's position
was therefore not clear at that point;

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/25

Tuesday, 9 October 1990

— Mr Nordmann, who stressed that an oral question
did not reflect a position but was a starting point for a
debate and that all the signatories had been in agreement with the text;

— Mr Galland, who reiterated his request that Parliament vote on the issue.

The President decided that it was time to end the discussion on this procedural point and pointed out that it
was not a question of rules but of custom within Parliament: he renewed his proposal for the 16 signatories to
meet at 10 a.m. that morning to come to an agreement.

2. Documents received

The President announced that he had received the following oral questions with debate:

— Oral Question (0-267/90) by Mr Langer, Mr Banders Molet and Mrs Fernex, on behalf of the Green
Group, to EPC, on the joint position of the Community
in CSCE II, in particular on disarmament and the
rights of minorities (B 3-1515/90);

— Oral Question (0-271/90) by Mr Simeoni, Mr Garaikoetxea and Mr Vandemeulebroucke, on behalf of
the RB Group, to EPC, on the Community's role and
activities in the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) (B 3-1516/90).

3. Agenda

The President announced that the statement on the
informal meeting of the Foreign Ministers in Venice,
which it had been decided to include on the agenda the
previous day subject to the agreement of the Italian
Presidency _(part I, item 17 of minutes)_ was not on the
agenda after all, since the Presidency had said that, as
the meeting was informal and as it had not obtained
the prior agreement of the other participants, it was not
in a position to make such a statement.

motions for resolutions tabled)

The President announced that he had received from the
following members requests for the inclusion in the

Notes that:

/. _Results of the Helsinki Final Act_

1. The Helsinki Final Act contributed, particularly through the decisions of the bodies of the
CSCE, to stabilizing the climate of peace and cooperation in Europe and securing respect for
human rights, despite the fact that it was a political text and not an international treaty;

2. Although for at least ten years after the signature of the Helsinki Final Act, Communist
governments ignored its human rights provisions, there has been a great improvement since
1985 and now the countries participating in the CSCE, with certain exceptions, have promoted
the ten basic principles of the Final Act;

3. Despite the progress made in the important area of human rights, it has been acknowledged
that their continued violation jeopardizes democracy, peace and cooperation; the situation in
Romania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria gives particular cause for concern in this respect;

4. The majority of countries participating in the CSCE have respected the principles of
territorial integrity, frontiers and the sovereign equality of states;

5. Unfortunately, circumstances have arisen in which the above principles have been violated
by the use of force, and the fifth principle of the Final Act on the peaceful solution of differences
has been ignored;

6. In the fifteen years since the signing of the Final Act, considerable progress has been made
on cooperation in numerous sectors; although it has failed to reverse Europe's division into two
politically, economically and militarily opposed blocs, that division fortunately seems to be
disappearing;

7. The principles of the Helsinki Final Act, which does not constitute an international treaty
but a political text, have failed to prevent the flaring up and/or persistence of regional conflicts,
especially in the Mediterranean area;

8. In conclusion, the principles of the Final Act have helped open up the way to major changes
in Europe and provide a framework for cooperation which, though not yet effective in the
Mediterranean region for example, nevertheless forms a basis on which it is now both possible
and necessary to make significant further progress;

//. _The_ _changes_ _in Europe_

9. The changes in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the dismantling of the
Berlin Wall have brought an end to the division of Europe and set the final seal on the Yalta
Agreements;

10. The end of the division of Europe, the collapse of the Yalta system and the continued
progress towards democratic pluralism in many European states paves the way for a peaceful
and united Europe based on democracy and human rights and creates the conditions for
cooperation in environmental, economic, scientific, cultural and security matters;

11. The changes in Europe offer particular opportunities in the field of security policy; the
decades of military confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact must be replaced by a
process of ongoing cooperation;

12. This altered situation in Europe requires an assessment to be made of the usefulness of
numerous international treaties, organizations and initiatives, for example NATO, the Warsaw
Pact, the Western European Union, the Council of Europe, EFTA, the European Communities,
the Helsinki agreements, the United Nations; their 'traditional' tasks, largely conceived during
the Yalta era, can be reconsidered, altered, renewed or restructured; in time some organizations
could even be dismantled and other international institutions could take on new tasks; this
assessment must lead to the establishment of democratic structures with roles which do not
overlap and where each, in its field, promotes peace;

No C 284/38 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Tuesday, 9 October 1990

13. The serious economic problems facing the countries of Central and Eastern Europe
threaten progress towards both democratization and peace;

14. The unification of Germany is justifiably welcomed as the end of the Cold War and the
beginning of the new construction of Europe;

15. The political, economic and defence issues arising from the unification of Germany are
tied up completely with European security and cooperation;

///. _Helsinki II_

16. The countries of Europe and the USA have already agreed that the CSCE is the appropriate framework for planning the new Europe and establishing a new order of peace which will
cover all the countries participating in the CSCE and the sensitive region of the Mediterranean;
with a view to resolving existing problems and preventing future crises in the sensitive Mediterranean region, particular account should be taken of the Spanish proposal for a special
conference and the conclusions of the meeting of the CSCE Member States in Majorca;

17. The new CSCE summit conference — Helsinki II — must solve all the problems connected with security and cooperation and its decisions should take the form of an international
treaty;

18. The context in which the conference should take place should be determined by the
following points:

— the decisions and agreements of the CSCE (Bonn Conference on economic cooperation,
Copenhagen Conference on the human dimension, Majorca meeting on the Mediterranean
dimension, agreements on conventional arms limitation),

— the decisions of the European summit meetings and, in particular, the decisions of the
special Dublin Conference,

— President Mitterrand's proposals on a pan-European confederation and President Gorbachev's proposals on a common European home,

— the Belgian Government's proposal on the creation of a European Defence Council,

— Prime Minister Mazowiecki's proposal on a European Cooperation Council which would
include the USA, Canada and the Soviet Union and the related proposal of Czechoslovakia's Prime Minister Havel on the creation of a European Security Commission,

— the decisions of the special European Council meeting in Dublin,

— the proposals that have been or may be made by the European Parliament or the various
national parliaments on this subject;

19. The basic aims of the conference shall include:

— extending the circle of signatory states to include Albania at least and, possibly, other
countries of the Mediterranean region that were excluded previously,

— formulating a pan-European security system based on cooperation in the political, cultural,
environmental and economic spheres and mutual trust,

— establishing new principles that are recognized and accepted by all parties and setting up
some organization such as a CSCE Security Council to promote these principles and
monitor compliance with them;

20. In this context, a suitable procedure should be sought for the reshaping of the defence
treaties and a pan-European body convened to implement security policy throughout Europe as
a whole, involving all the countries participating in the CSCE;

21. The latest developments in the Persian Gulf show that, though military confrontation has
abated in Europe, new security policy issues will arise not only inside Europe but also beyond its
confines, and the European countries should take a united stand in response to such challenges;

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/39

Tuesday, 9 October 1990

22. The grave crisis in the Persian Gulf caused by the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait produced a
common response from the Community's Member States for the first time and confirms the
general observation that the projected pan-European security system cannot guarantee peace in
Europe if peace in the Mediterranean and the Middle East is not guaranteed at the same time;
the Helsinki II European security process must, therefore, be given greater impetus;

23. Any decisions and agreements at the 4 + 2 conference concerning the position of a united
Germany in the existing defence system must be made with a European security system in view;

24. The current situation of tension in the Mediterranean arising from various sources
requires a forum for discussion, bringing together the various parties, such as a Conference on
Security and Cooperation in the Mediterranean (CSCM);

25. In tandem with the Helsinki II Conference, swifter action is needed and new initiatives
must be taken with regard to disarmament, the banning of chemical weapons, controlling the
production and sale of weapons, the structure of the armed forces and determining the future of
foreign military dispositions; naturally, negotiations should be intensified to achieve a drastic
reduction in conventional, nuclear, chemical and bacteriological weapons with mutual and
collective verification;

26. The conference should determine the procedure and mechanisms for intervening in any
border disputes so as to avoid dangerous conflicts developing;

27. In the same spirit, it would be advisable to determine the procedure for intervening in
complicated situations at the external borders of the territory covered by the collective security
system;

28. In order to achieve this goal, intervention procedures must be established with a view to
the peaceful settlement of differences and the avoidance of armed conflict;

29. It is also necessary to establish a framework for the sale and export of weapons to third
countries and to create an effective monitoring system to prevent the sale of weapons, military
equipment and advanced technology which could be used for military purposes in countries
which violate international law and fail to implement UN decisions and in countries which are
at war;

30. It is clear that a collective security system will not be able to operate unless existing
differences are resolved and peace is established in areas where disputes and conflicts exist
because of violent interventions, as is still the case in various parts of Europe;

31. In view of the unanimous agreement that security and peace in Europe will be based on
cooperation rather than militarization, Helsinki II must tackle the following basic issues:

(a) the recognition and inviolability of current borders, respect for the sovereign equality of
states and territorial integrity,

(b) the definition of the substance of and the procedures for practising the right to selfdetermination of those entitled to exercise that right,

(c) the definition of the rights and obligations of minorities within states, within the framework
of the principles of the Helsinki Final Act on respect for the unity and territorial integrity of
states,

(d) the institution of pluralist democracy with free elections and respect for human rights and
the rights of minorities as a prerequisite for a country's participation in the European
edifice,

(e) human rights must be given a new dimension to meet the social and economic requirements
of individuals (equal opportunities for men and women, the right to a healthy environment,
the right to work, the right to welfare, the right to education, etc.),

No C 284/40 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Tuesday, 9 October 1990

(f) the environment belongs to all mankind and its protection is an obligation for us all;
consequently, measures are required whose implementation by all the countries of the CSCE
is mandatory,

(g) organized crime, particularly that linked to the drugs trade, and terrorism threaten social
peace and create further interstate disputes; regulations that are accepted and implemented
jointly must therefore be introduced to combat these evils;

32. It is self-evident that the balanced development of all European countries and the closing
of the gap between rich and poor countries can be achieved through economic cooperation and
solidarity;

33. To this end, attention should be given to the creation of a Solidarity Fund which could
also assist the poorer countries of the Third World. This fund could be financed from the
resources saved as a result of reductions in armaments;

_IV. Institutions and bodies of Helsinki II_

34. To implement and monitor the decisions of the Conference, permanent arrangements and
bodies with a fixed seat must be set up, in particular:

(a) a permanent secretariat,

(b) a committee of permanent representatives,

(c) a council of foreign ministers,

(d) regular summit meetings,

All these bodies could operate within the framework of a European Security Council which, on
the basis of the experience of the United Nations, should acquire the possibility of swift and
effective intervention;

35. Decisions on any form of intervention must be taken collectively and always with the aim
of maintaining peace and averting the use of force;

36. Supranational bodies set up to implement and monitor the decisions of Helsinki II should
be given broader scope through the convocation of a parliamentary assembly, so that the whole
new European edifice has firm democratic foundations; the Council of Europe could constitute
the basis for such a parliamentary assembly;

37. Respect for human rights must be a statutory requirement of states taking part in Helsinki
II processes and decisions; this calls for the strengthening of the role and effectiveness of the
European Court of Human Rights;

_V. The Community's role_

38. The European Community can and must play a decisive role in Helsinki II in shaping the
new structure of Europe;

39. The European Community is at present the only stable and dynamic supranational
organization of states with a political and economic dimension;

40. To serve as the central focus of the new Europe, the Community must display a united
front throughout both the CSCE and Helsinki II process;

41. This aim must be achieved at the EC countries' forthcoming intergovernmental conference by accelerating the movement towards political integration, economic and monetary union
and the adoption of a common foreign policy and a common policy on security;

42. The pursuit of a common foreign policy is inextricably linked with the pursuit of a
security and defence policy; the Treaty of Rome should not hamper the granting of full powers in
security and defence matters to the European union; the Western European Union should not be
'revitalized' in the process but should, rather, be integrated into the European Union;

MINUTES OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE SITTING OF WEDNESDAY,

10 OCTOBER 1990

(90/C 284/03)

PART I

Proceedings of the sitting

IN THE CHAIR: MR GALLAND

_Vice-President_

_(The sitting was opened at 9 a.m.)_

1. Approval of minutes

The following spoke:

Mr Bandres Molet on the remarks by Mr Landa
Mendibe referred to under item 15;

— Mr Chanterie, who retabled the proposal he had
made at the end of the previous day's sitting to enter
the joint debates on the Peijs and Stavrou reports (A 30170 and 0215/90) after the joint debate on economic
and monetary union (the President replied that he
would come back to this question after the objections
concerning the topical and urgent debate);

— Mr McMahon, on the quality of the Council's
replies to questions tabled for Question Time (the
President replied that he would refer the problem to the
enlarged Bureau);

— Mr Landa Mendibe, on Mr Bandres Molet's
remarks;

— Mrs Diez de Rivera, who pointed that she had forgotten to sign the attendance register although she had
been present (Mrs Van Hemeldonck made a similar
point in writing).

The minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

2. Topical and urgent debate (objections)

The President announced that he had received, pursuant to Rule 64 (2), second subparagraph, the following objections, tabled and justified in writing, to the list
of subjects for the next debate on topical and urgent
subjects of major importance:

V: Human Rights

— a motion by the ER Group seeking to replace the
item 'Malaysia' by the motions for resolutions on
Vaulx-en-Velin by the ER Group (B 3-1789/90) and by
the Green Group (B 3-1833/90).

The motion was rejected by RCV (ER):

Members voting: 185
For: 10

Against: 174
Abstentions: 1

Mr Gollnisch referred to the last sentence of
Rule 75 (2) and asked that, if the Green Group's
motion seeking to include its motion for a resolution
on events in Vaulx-en-Velin was approved, the ER
Group's motion for a resolution on the same subject
should also be included.

— a motion by the Green Group seeking to include
in this item its motion for a resolution on Vaulx-enVelin (B 3-1833/90).

The motion was rejected.

— a motion by the Green Group, the LU Group and
the RB Group, seeking to include in this item three
motions for resolutions on the Kurdish people (B 31762, 1799 and 1800/90).

The motion was rejected.

— a motion by the Green Group, the LU Group, the
EUL Group and the RB Group, seeking to include in
this item five motions for resolutions on Chile (B 31749, 1771, 1774, 1803 and 1822/90).

Mr Gutierrez Diaz asked the President to read out the
justification for this motion.

The motion was rejected.

— a motion by the EUL Group seeking to include in
this item two motions for resolutions on El Salvador
(B 3-1767 and 1773/90).

The motion was rejected.

The following spoke: Mr Bandres Molet, on Mr Landa
Mendibe's remarks, and Mr Newton Dunn, who asked
whether the first two motions, which concerned a problem within the Community, were admissible, since the
responsibilities of Parliament's Subcommittee on
Human Rights only covered questions outside the
Community (the President replied that this question
would be referred to the enlarged Bureau).

12.11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/45

Wednesday, 10 October 1990

The President returned to Mr Chanterie's proposal for
the continuation of the joint debate on the Peijs and
Stavrou reports to be held after the joint debate on
economic and monetary union and pointed out that, if
the agenda was amended in this way, it might not be
possible to hold the joint debate on the countries of
Eastern Europe that same day and that Mr Delors,
_President of the Commission,_ who had expressed the
desire to take part in the debate, could not be present
the following day. He therefore wanted to know if Mr
Chanterie was standing by his request.

Mr Chanterie objected to the way in which debates
were split up and stressed that it was up to the Presidency to ensure that the joint debate on the Peijs and
Stavrou reports continued that same day.

The President decided not to follow up Mr Chanterie's
request.

3. Economic and monetary union (debate)

The next item was the joint debate on a report and
seven oral questions with debate to the Commission.

Mr Herman introduced his report, drawn up on behalf
of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs
and Industrial Policy, on economic and monetary
union (A 3-0223/90).

Mr Cravinho moved the oral question which he, Mr
Metten, Mr Fuchs, Mr Donnelly and Mr Colom i
Naval had tabled, on behalf of the SOC Group, on
economic union and economic and social cohesion
(B 3-1106/90).

Mr Giscard d'Estaing moved the oral question tabled
by Mr Cox, Mr De Donnea, Mrs Nielsen, Mr Gasoliba
i Bohm and Mr Porto, on behalf of the LDR Group, on

_END OF VOTING TIME_

IN THE CHAIR: MR PEREZ ROYO

_Vice-President_

On a proposal by the President, Parliament decided to
continue the sitting until 8.30 p.m.

Mr Elliott requested that the whole problem of the
organization of business, especially Question Time, be
referred to the enlarged Bureau.

The President said that the current situation was a

result of Parliament's decision to vote on the Herman
report that afternoon, thereby departing from the
agenda.

21. Question Time (questions to the Commission)

The next item was the continuation and conclusion of
Question Time.

Questions to the Commission

Question 71 by Mr De Vries: European Community's response
to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

Mr Van Miert, _Member of the Commission,_ answered
the question.

Mr De Vries spoke in support of the request made by
Mr Elliott and to put a supplementary which Mr Van
Miert said he could not answer as he had, at the last

moment, replaced the Member of the Commission responsible for this subject, Mr Matutes, whose papers
were in Spanish.

Mr Titley and Mr Bowe asked supplementaries which
Mr Van Miert said he was unable to answer.

Mr De Vries referred to the proposal by the enlarged
Bureau to hold public meetings in Brussels so that
Commission statements could be considered and urged
the Commission to follow this proposal, thereby enabling Mr Matutes to make a statement on this important subject (the President said that he would refer the
proposal to the enlarged Bureau).

The following spoke: Mr Gutierrez Diaz, who proposed
that the sitting should be suspended since the Commission was unable to answer questions, Mr Welsh, in support of Mr De Vries' proposal and to seek an assurance
that Mr Matutes would answer questions, Mr Van
Miert and Mr Lane, the latter to propose continuing the
sitting.

Question 72 by Mr Blaney: Irish meat crisis and Iraq sanctions.

Mr MacSharry, _Member of the Commission,_ answered
the question.

Mrs Simons spoke on the Commission replies.

Mr MacSharry answered supplementaries by Mr Blaney, Mr Killilea and Sir James Scott-Hopkins.

Questions 73 by Mrs Ruiz Gimenez, 74 by Mr Pasty, 75
by Mr Raffarin and 76 by Mr Verde i Aldea would
receive written replies as their authors were absent.

Question 77 by Mr McCubbin: Common fisheries policy: region
2—120 mm mesh size.

Mr Van Miert answered the question.

Mr McCubbin asked a supplementary, which Mr Van
Miert said he would forward to the Member of the
Commission responsible, Mr Marin.

Mr Blaney and Mr Lane asked supplementaries which
Mr MacSharry answered.

As the additional time agreed upon had now elapsed,
the President declared Question Time closed.

He announced that questions which had not been
taken would receive written replies unless their authors
withdrew them before the end of Question Time.

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/55

Wednesday, 10 October 1990

The following spoke: Mr Sarlis, author of question 78,
on the conduct of Question Time, Mr McMahon, to
ask what had happened to the item on action taken on
Parliament's opinions, Mr Adam, with a question to Mr
Van Miert, which the latter answered.

22. Agenda for next sitting

sitting on Thursday, 11 October 1990:

PART II

Texts adopted by the European Parliament

1. Rover case

— B3-1737/90

RESOLUTION

on Rover

_The European Parliament,_

A. welcoming the important role played by state aids in assisting with the restructuring of
Community industries and the protection of employment,

B. noting that the British Government has consistently rejected this course of action in the case
of many crucial enterprises which have consequently closed with the loss of thousands of
jobs,

C. concerned that the application of state aids to industry must occur with complete transparency and within the objectives of Community policy,

D. recognizing that the British Government deliberately withheld information from the workforce of the Rover Group and from the Commission regarding the substantial package of
sweeteners and incentives offered to British Aerospace for the purchase of Rover,

E. concerned that the Commission has still failed to order an independent valuation of the
Rover Group,

F. concerned that the Commission learned of the additional payments made by the UK
Government through press articles,

G. concerned that the decision of the Commission in 1988, regarding the BAE-Rover deal and
possible further resale of Rover, was altered through unofficial contacts between the Commission and the UK Government,

1. Demands that the Commission, having verified the information with the UK Authorities,
notify the European Parliament without delay of the progress being made in implementing the
Rover Corporate Plan, due for completion by 1992;

2. Regrets that the Commission has not repudiated the exchange of correspondence between
the then UK Trade & Industry Secretary, Lord Young, and BAE, in which the offer of sympathetic treatment for financial assistance would be permitted, taking into account the performance of the Rover Group;

3. Demands an explanation from the Commission on why it retrospectively endorsed the UK
Government decision to make regional grants to BAE in one lump sum;

4. Regrets that the Commissioner Sir Leon Brittan is still unable to report on the tax
implications of the Rover/BAE deal which have been under investigation, and urges the immediate release of this information;

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

UK Government.

RESOLUTION

No C 284/57

Wednesday, 10 October 1990

on the report by the Committee of Inquiry into Racism and Xenophobia

_The European Parliament,_

_—_
having regard to the report of its Committee of Inquiry into Racism and Xenophobia (A3-195/90), P

1. Resolves to give effect to the recommendations to the European Parliament contained
therein;

2. Calls on the Commission, the Council, the Foreign Ministers meeting in European Political
Cooperation and the governments of the Member States to study in detail the recommendations
contained in the report of its Committee of Inquiry;

3. Undertakes to publish and distribute widely the report in the Member States, including at
local and regional level, and calls on the Commission and Council to do the same;

4. Instructs its President to forward this resolution and the report of its Committee of Inquiry
with the recommendations contained therein to the Council, the Commission, the Foreign
Ministers meeting in European Political Cooperation and the governments of the Member
States.

(b) B3-1722/90

RESOLUTION

on the report by the Committee on Inquiry into Racism and Xenophobia

_The European Parliament,_

— having regard to Oral Questions with debate B3-1327 and 1329/90 on the recommendations
of the Committee of Inquiry and the Commission's response,

— having regard to the findings of the Committee of Inquiry into Racism and Xenophobia,

— having regard to the Joint Declaration against Racism and Xenophobia of 11 June 1986,

A. having noted the recommendations set out in the Committee of Inquiry's report,

B. whereas particular vigilance is required to prevent any threat of racism and xenophobia
becoming more widespread in Europe,

1. Approves the appropriate measures which will enable the Community's specific role in this
field to be strengthened alongside national bodies and welfare and religious authorities;

2. Takes the view that a solution must also be sought in a wide-ranging programme encompassing employment, housing, education and the development of harmonious coexistence at
grass-roots level;

No C 284/58 Official Journal of the European Communities 12.11.90

Wednesday, 10 October 1990

3. Calls, accordingly, on the Commission, Council and other Community institutions, as well
as on the governments and parliaments of the Member States, to work towards that goal and calls
more specifically on its Committee on Budgets to enter in the budget at an early date the budget
headings proposed in the Committee of Inquiry's recommendations;

4. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and the
other Community institutions and to the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

3. Cooperation procedure

— B3-1734/90

RESOLUTION

on relations between the European Parliament and the Council

_The European Parliament,_

— having regard to the articles of the EEC Treaty concerning the consultation of the European
Parliament,

— having regard to the case law of the Court of Justice, which emphasizes the importance of
consultation of the EP and respect for essential procedures,

— having regard to the Joint Declaration of 4 March 1975 on the institution of a conciliation
procedure,

— having regard to the note of October 1973 from the Council to the European Parliament
concerning relations between the Council and the EP,

A. having regard to the increase in the number of proposed Community instruments on which
Parliament is either asked for its opinion or, pursuant to Article 149(2) of the Treaty,
consulted as part of the cooperation procedure,

B. having regard to the fact that various Commission proposals are discussed more or less
simultaneously by the Council and by Parliament's committees, and the fact that Parliament
is not provided with sufficient information about the state of discussions in the Council and
consequently bases its debates on Commission texts that may well have been superseded,

C. whereas in too many cases the Council tends to reach decisions on the basis of a political
agreement and does not take sufficient account of Parliament's opinions,

D. whereas the Court of Justice takes the view that consultation of the European Parliament,
'although limited, reflects at Community level the fundamental democratic principle that
the peoples should take part in the exercise of power through the intermediary of a representative assembly' (Case 138/79),

E. whereas the intention of this consultation is not respected if the members of the Council
come to a political agreement before they have even received or considered Parliament's
opinions,

F. whereas the exercise of Parliament's rights cannot be guaranteed,

1. Calls on the Council to adhere to the procedures laid down in the Treaties and to refrain
from concluding political agreements before having considered Parliament's opinions;

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/59

Wednesday, 10 October 1990

2. Condemns once again the attitude of the Council, which constitutes a violation of the spirit
and the letter of the Treaties, including the changes introduced by the Single European Act, and a
violation of the political undertakings given by the Council itself, in particular that communicated to the European Parliament in October 1973 (OJ PE 34/73);

3. Affirms, however, its conviction that a genuine balance of power between the European
Parliament and the Council and respect for the provisions of the Treaty cannot be achieved
without a far-reaching reform of the legislative procedure and the creation within the Community of a genuine power of co-decision shared by the European Parliament and the Council, on
an equal footing, particularly within the framework of the Intergovernmental Conferences and
the achievement of the European Union;

4. Urges that, pending the outcome of these negotiations, the European institutions involved
in legislative procedures (the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission) should
reach agreement on these legislative procedures, in the light of the current work of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights on the Council's obligation to await Parliament's
opinion and the Committee on Institutional Affairs' work on the cooperation procedure;

5. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, Commission, Economic
and Social Committee and to the governments and parliaments of the Member States.

4. Situation in Cambodia

— B3-1730/90

RESOLUTION

on the situation in Cambodia

_The European Parliament,_

— having regard to the plan put forward by the five permanent members of the UN Security
Council on 28 August 1990,

— having regard to the statements on Cambodia made by European Political Cooperation on
18 January and 20 February 1990,

— having regard to the joint declaration made at the eighth EEC-ASEAN Ministerial Meeting
held on 17 February 1990 in Kuching, Malaysia,

— having regard to the memorandum dated 19 March 1990 from the UN Secretary-General's
Special Representative in Bangkok responsible for coordinating humanitarian aid to Cambodians, which recommended the setting up of a refugee camp at Khao I Tang in Thailand,

— having regard to the appeal launched on 17 April 1990 by thirty non-governmental organizations working in Cambodia and in the refugee camps in Thailand,

— having regard to the reports of three of its Members sent on a fact-finding mission to
Cambodia and Bangkok from 18 to 29 ApriM990 by their respective political groups,

A. whereas the Cambodian people have been living through a war for the last twenty years, and
whereas they suffered the horrors of the period from 1975 to 1979, when the country was
ruled by Khmer Rouge leaders who were responsible for. a campaign of genocide which
resulted in the deaths of perhaps one-third of the population,

B. whereas the Cambodian people have been condemned to total isolation since 17 April 1975,
initially because of the policy pursued by the political leaders in Phnom Penh but also as a
result of the international decisions to impose an embargo and exclude the country from
international life which, with a view to punishing Phnom Penh and Hanoi, have shut out
and stifled the Khmer people,

No C 284/60 Official Journal of the European Communities 12.11.90

Wednesday, 10 October 1990

C. noting the current willingness of the authorities in Phnom Penh to open up the country's
frontiers and to steer the economy along a more liberal course,

D. noting that all those working in or visiting the country no longer doubt that Vietnamese
regular troops have actually withdrawn from Cambodia,

E. whereas freedom to choose where to live and the actual time for a return to one's country is a
fundamental right and must be granted and guaranteed as such to all Cambodians,

F. approving the activities of UN specialized agencies on behalf of the Khmer people in
Thailand and Cambodia itself and their proposals that aid should be increased and preparations made for voluntary repatriation, as well as schemes drawn up for the country's
reconstruction and development,

G. convinced of the irreplaceable value of the aid given to the Cambodians for many years now
by the non-governmental organizations,

H. satisfied with the food and humanitarian aid already supplied by the Commission, but
wishing to increase support for basic training and development programmes throughout
Cambodia,

I. concerned at the lack of substantial progress in international negotiations and contacts
between Cambodians of rival factions to establish a cease-fire followed by the holding of free
national elections organized and supervised by the United Nations,

J. worried by the deterioration in the economic situation in Cambodia since the withdrawal of
Vietnamese troops and the rapid decrease in aid from Central and Eastern Europe,

K. convinced that we can no longer await the outcome of diplomatic endeavours, which are
necessarily slow,

1. Recommends to the governments of the Member States, and especially to the two that are
permanent members of the UN Security Council, that they continue their endeavours so that:

(a) arms supplies to the belligerents are halted,

(b) a total cease-fire is established by an agreement between them,

(c) a system is established providing for the holding of free elections open to all Cambodians
without exception so that Cambodia may be recognized in its independence, sovereignty,
territorial integrity and unity as a neutral country and with respect for human rights and
democratic freedoms.

Such a system must be guaranteed by the physical presence on the spot of a United Nations
contingent set up in accordance with procedures laid down and monitored by a Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General;

2. Recalls its condemnation of the genocide perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge and notes with
satisfaction the decision to entrust the Supreme National Council with Cambodia's representation at the United Nations;

3. Approves the plan of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, accepted by
all the Cambodian parties, providing for the setting up of a Supreme National Council to cover
the period between the cease-fire and the holding of general elections;

That Council, representing Khmer sovereignty, will appoint the country's representatives to the
United Nations, the administration of the country being entrusted, in conjunction with the UN
Secretary-General's Special Representative, to the authorities occupying them before the ceasefire; should such a Council not be appointed, Cambodia's seat at the United Nations should be
declared vacant;

4. Takes the view that the isolation of the 7 or 8 million Khmers in Cambodia must be ended
as a matter of extreme urgency;

5. Calls on the governments of the Member States, therefore, to adopt the requisite administrative measures to facilitate the issue of visas or travel documents to enable Khmers, particularly young Khmers, to travel to Europe if they so wish and if their visit is properly justified;

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/61

Wednesday, 10 October 1990

6. Recommends to the governments and the Commission that they encourage and increase
the number of invitations, meetings and training, travel and study grants;

7. Asks the UN Secretary-General, although the Phnom Penh authorities are not and must
not be recognized at present, to enable Cambodian experts, technicians and teachers to attend
international meetings which are of direct interest to the country and its people;

8. Calls on the governments and the Community to increase the number of technical and
economic missions to all parts of Cambodia;

9. Calls, accordingly, on the authorities in Phnom Penh to honour their commitments
actually to open up the frontiers, encourage travel abroad and allow experts and visitors to travel
to all parts of the country where their presence is justified;

10. Hopes that the frontier between Thailand and Cambodia will be opened as soon as
possible and become a normal frontier between neighbouring countries and that direct flights
between Bangkok and Phnom Penh will be resumed so that Vietnam no longer provides the only
access route to Cambodia;

11. Recommends the implementation of the proposal made by UN senior officials in Bangkok and supported by the Prime Minister of Thailand that, at a safe distance from the frontier, a
'neutral camp' be established and placed under permanent international protection (for example, by the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees) open to all Cambodian refugees in
Thailand who freely wish to live there, where they would be free from all political pressure,
forced resettlement and any obligation to fight in the war;

12. Takes the view that the European Community should make a significant political and
financial contribution to the setting up and maintenance of such a 'neutral camp' and that all
Khmer refugees in Cambodia should be informed of the new opportunities it would offer them,
where they would be enabled to decide for themselves without any external threat or other form
of pressure;

13. Hopes that the camp would be used in preparation for the repatriation of those Cambodians who wished to return home;

14. Calls on the Council and Commission to recall, with regard to Cambodia, the position of
principle adopted at several ministerial meetings and already implemented in Central America
and, to a limited extent, in Laos, whereby the Community contributes financially to repatriation
and refugee resettlement operations on the following four conditions:

(a) voluntary participation,

(b) agreement between the government of the country of departure (in this instance the Thai
Government) and the responsible authorities in the country of destination,

(c) the operation devised, organized and supervised on the spot by the UNHCR (Office of the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees),

(d) implementation of a multiannual reconstruction and development programme in the repatriation zones;

15. Calls on the Commission to play its full part in the preparations for and implementation
of the above recommendations, in particular by:

(a) organizing the requisite on-the-spot investigations and technical visits in conjunction with
the appropriate UN bodies and with non-governmental organizations, whether Community-assisted or not,

(b) increasing the number of training opportunities offered to the Khmers in Europe and
locally, priority being given to intermediate level training where there are particularly
serious shortages following the years of isolation,

(c) preparing, together with the appropriate UN bodies, rehabilitation and development programmes which must accompany and support the resettlement of repatriated refugees and,
more generally, assist the resumption of normal economic activity with a view to establishing a market economy,

No C 284/62 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11. 90

Wednesday, 10 October 1990

(d) contributing directly to the setting up of a 'neutral camp' in Thailand and, subsequently, to
the preparation and return of refugees who wish to go home;

This could include the appointment in Bangkok or Phnom Penh of a representative of the
Commission for Refugees who would work in close cooperation with the UN Special Representative;

16. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council, European Political Cooperation, the governments of the Member States, the Thai Government, the
UN Secretary-General and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

PART THREE, TITLE II, CHAPTER 2 of the Treaty

Economic union (comprising Articles 103 to 105 as amended)

_Article 18_

Article 103 of the Treaty shall read as follows:

Member States shall regard their conjunctural policies as a matter of common concern and as
falling within the Community's concurrent terms of reference.

Without prejudice to any other procedures provided for in this Treaty, the Council may, acting
by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission and in co-decision with the
European Parliament, decide upon the measures appropriate to the situation.

_Article 19_

Article 104 of the Treaty shall read as follows:

1. Each Member State shall pursue the economic and social policy needed to ensure the smooth
functioning of Economic and Monetary Union while taking care to maintain a high level of
employment, a stable level of prices, a high degree of social and regional cohesion and
environmentally acceptable economic development in the Community.

2. The economic and social cohesion of the Community referred to in Title V shall be a
fundamental element of the construction of Economic and Monetary Union in such a way
that both the Member States and the Community shall conduct and coordinate their
economic and social policies so as to attain, among other things, the objectives laid down in
Articles 130a to 130e through ensuring an equitable spread of the welfare gains arising from
the implementation of common policies.

_Article 20_

Article 105 of the Treaty shall read as follows:

With a view to facilitating the achievement of the objectives set out in the previous article, the
Member States shall agree to establish three new specific instruments for cooperation:

1. On the basis of a global assessment of economic trends in the Community and its Member
States, the Commission shall propose guidelines for multiannual economic policies and
guidelines for accompanying social policies. These guidelines shall set general economic
objectives for the Community and shall indicate the means for achieving them. Reference
shall be made to public finance policies, labour market trends and national structural
policies.

The Council shall adopt these guidelines in co-decision with the European Parliament and
after consulting the Economic and Social Committee.

2. To ensure compliance with these guidelines, the system of multilateral surveillance of
economic policies introduced by Council Decision 90/141/EEC shall be extended to all
aspects of economic policy which have a direct impact on the functioning of the Economic
and Monetary Union and shall be strengthened by appropriate means of exerting pressure,
including conditional recourse to the mechanism provided for in Paragraph 3.

Under this system, the Member States shall undertake to refrain from monetary financing of
budget deficits and shall deny the national authorities any privileged access to the capital
markets for the placement of public securities.

No C 284/68 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Wednesday, 10 October 1990

They shall also agree that, in the event of excessive imbalance, the national debt of an
individual Member State shall not be eligible for any unconditional guarantee from either
the Community or another Member State. They shall also undertake to comply with any
recommendations issued by the Commission and the European System of Central Banks
concerning their indebtedness in a third currency.

3. In the event of major economic difficulties, or if the convergence of economic policies
requires certain Member States to implement adjustment measures which exceed their
normal capacities, the latter may have recourse to a separate financial support mechanism
which may take the form of either a subsidy from the Community budget or loans from a
Community financial instrument. The conditions and procedures for this support shall be
determined by the Council, in co-decision with the European Parliament, on a proposal
from the Commission consistent with the multilateral surveillance of the budget deficit.

_Article 21_

All Community legislation necessary for the completion of Economic and Monetary Union shall
henceforth be subject to the amended procedure laid down in Article 100a; this includes fiscal
harmonization, the free movement of persons and all the necessary social measures.

_Article 22_

The system of Community own resources and the financial responsibilities of the institutions
must be adjusted in line with the requirements of Economic and Monetary Union. The Commission may propose new own resources and, after Parliament has given its assent, acting by an
absolute majority of its Members, the Council may adopt them by a unanimous decision.
Community borrowing shall in future be entered in the budget and subject to the approval of the
two arms of the budgetary authority. Following the completion of Monetary Union and the
issuing of a single currency, the financial benefits deriving from the privileged status of an
international reserve currency shall accrue to the Community budget.

_Article 23_

Article 130a of the Treaty shall read as follows:

In order to promote real as well as nominal economic convergence and its overall harmonious
development, the Community shall develop and pursue its actions leading to the strengthening
of its economic and social cohesion.

In particular the Community shall aim at reducing disparities between the various regions and
the backwardness of the least-favoured regions.

_Article 24_

Article 130b of the Treaty shall read as follows:

Member States shall conduct their economic policies and shall coordinate them in such a way as,
in addition, to attain the objectives set out in Article 130a. The implementation of the common
policies, of the internal market and of Economic and Monetary Union shall take into account the
objectives set out in Article 130a and in Article 130c and shall contribute to their achievement.
The Community shall support the achievement of these objectives by the action it takes through
the structural Funds (European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guidance Section,
European Social Fund, European Regional Development Fund), the European Investment Bank
and other appropriate financial instruments and means.

_Article 25_

Article 130c of the Treaty shall read as follows:

Such funds, as referred to in Article 130b, are intended to help redress the principal regional and
social imbalances in the Community.

that satisfy all the provisions of the Sixth Luxembourg
Report on requirements and tests for non-flammable
hydraulic fluids for hydrostatic and hydrokinetic transmission and steering in mining operations, particularly the
fire test and the thermal decomposition test, are not currently available in all Member States owing to varying
national interpretation of the Luxembourg Report; whereas the only other solution in these cases is to convert the
technology in question, which for technical and economic
reasons requires a transitional period or derogations;
whereas in the light of the requirement both to reduce the
risk to the environment and to increase the safety of miners, the Luxembourg report should be amended in order to
permit the use as hydraulic fluids (e.g. on a polyglycol
basis) in all Member States of the fluids currently being

on the Rover affair _(part I, item 4);_

— Mrs Valent who, on behalf of the EUL Group,
protested at the procedure followed for the vote on

Rules of Procedure to be closely adhered to in the
future (the President took note of her remarks);

— Mrs Roth, who agreed with the previous speaker
and asked what Rule had been used to justify the decision to put the other motions for resolutions to the vote

but said that he would refer the matter to the enlarged
Bureau);

The minutes of the previous sitting were approved.

More than 13 members rose in support of this request.

The President ascertained that a quorum was not pres
ent.

The following spoke: Mr Gollnisch, Mrs Dury, who
said that enough time should be allowed for members
to come to the Chamber for the vote, Mr Visser, who
argued that the request for establishing the presence of
a quorum applied only to one motion for a resolution
and not to the vote as a whole (the President disputed
this interpretation), Mr von der Vring, and Mrs Dury,
who disputed the procedure followed by the President.

The President declared the matter closed and, since the

8. Agenda

The President reminded members that, at voting time
the previous day, Parliament had decided to postpone
the vote on the Pronk recommendation for the second
reading (A 3-0224/90) to the following part-session.

However, the time which Parliament had to deliver its
opinion on the common position of the Council, which
had already been extended by one month, would expire
on 13 October and it therefore appeared necessary for
Parliament to give its opinion at the present partsession.

The President therefore proposed including the vote on
this recommendation for the second reading in voting
time that same evening.

European Communities No C 284/119

Thursday, 11 October 1990

Parliament agreed to this.

Mr Moorhouse expressed concern that the vote on the

might not be held on account of this change (the President replied that the change had been decided by Parliament itself).

Mrs Dury asked on behalf of the SOC Group that the
statement be followed by a debate (the President said
that he had already received a formal request along
those lines).

Mr Cardosa e Cunha, _Member of the Commission,_
made a statement on oil prices.

The President announced that he had received from the
SOC and RB Groups a request under Rule 56 (3) to
have a debate on this statement.

Parliament agreed to this request.

The deadline for tabling motions for resolutions was
set at 5 p.m. that afternoon and the deadline for tabling
amendments to these motions was set at 8 p.m. that
evening.

The following spoke: Mr Caudron, on behalf of the
SOC Group, Mr Salzer, on behalf of the EPP Group,
Mr Caudron, on the previous speaker's comments (the

behalf of the ED Group, Mr Lane, on behalf of the

_The European Parliament,_

in the Temple Mount compound in East Jerusalem on 8 October 1990,

B. deploring the lynching of an Israeli serviceman by the inhabitants of the Bureij refugee camp
on 20 September 1990 and the collective punishment measures imposed indiscriminately
on the population of the camp,

C. having regard to its record of concern for the respect and implementation of the basic
principles of human rights in this situation of occupation and conflict, as in many others,

D. whereas it is incumbent on the occupying authorities to guarantee public order in accordance with the rules laid down in international law, in particular the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949,

E. having regard to its previously-stated position in favour of a global peaceful and negotiated
solution to the Palestinian problem,

F. whereas the events in East Jerusalem must be viewed separately from the Gulf crisis, on the
understanding that the two conflicts must also be dealt with in the light of international law
and subject to the application of the resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council,

1. Strongly condemns the Israeli Government for this latest massacre perpetrated by its
armed forces following provocation by Jewish extremists, who sparked off the disturbance, and
for its policy of systematic repression against the Palestinian people;

2. Condemns the methods employed by the occupying power to maintain order, which serve
only to worsen the spiral of violence while failing to open up any political or diplomatic
prospects for a peaceful solution;

3. Reaffirms that it is in favour of a negotiated solution to the situation in the Middle East in
accordance with resolutions 242 and 338 of the Security Council and the declarations made by
the European Council in Venice and Madrid, and emphatically reaffirms the resolutions on the
subject adopted by the European Parliament;

4. Reminds the Israeli authorities of their obligations as occupying authorities under the
terms of the Geneva Convention and condemns Israel's constant use of collective punishment, a
practice explicitly forbidden by the Fourth Geneva Convention, and, in particular, condemns
the use of live ammunition against the Palestinian population;

5. Recalls the views expressed by the President-in-office of the Council about sending an
international fact-finding mission to Israel; furthermore, calls on the Israeli authorities to
explain the precise reasons for the killings in East Jerusalem and to ascertain who was responsible;

Thursday, 11 October 1990

6 Reaffirms the need for an international peace conference to be held in the Middle East,

the State of Israel and all countries in the region, as well as the self-determination of the
Palestinian people and its right to found a free and independent state;

7. Stresses the urgent need to appoint a permanent representative of the Community in the
Occupied Territories, to be separate from any other Commission representation in the region;

8. Calls on the Member States, in accordance with their undertakings as signatories to the
Fourth Geneva Convention, to take the necessary action with regard to Israel to ensure respect
for the Convention in all circumstances (see Article 1);

orphanages ('), calling on the Commission, in collaboration with the Romanian Government, the WHO and the non-governmental organizations, to draw up a specific emergency
programme geared to the social and health situation facing children,

C. stressing that it is not enough to hold an international conference in New York to solve the
problems of children in the world; welcoming, however, international awarenesss of the
subject,

D. having regard to the medical and social study approved by the Commission on 9 July 1990
to assess the medical and social needs of children living in orphanages and the report
submitted to the Commission in mid-September by the NGO responsible for the study, but
not yet officially forwarded to the European Parliament,

E. having regard to the coming winter and the urgent need to heat the orphanages which are
home to thousands of children,

F. whereas the situation is becoming even worse, since Romania will not receive the oil from
Iraq which it was counting on,

phenomenon of AIDS,

H. insisting that the children afflicted with AIDS have the right to be treated according to the
ethical standards of the medical and nursing professions,

Romania since the fall of the Ceausescu dictatorship in December 1989,

the Romanian Government to make corresponding commitments; hopes that the NGOs already
on the spot will be closely associated with this project;

2. Calls on the Commission to promote exchange and cooperation agreements between

Romania;

and thus put an immediate end to the selection procedure practised in orphanages and the
inhuman fate of thousands of children;

4. Calls on the Commission to monitor the real effectiveness and actual implementation of all
current and future projects;

5. Notes that Romania is fully bound by the UN embargo against Iraq, even though it is a

international support in this regard, since it is particularly affected by the decreed measures;

6. Stresses that the shortage of oil and fuel will have dire consequences for the Romanian
children living in orphanages unless a solution is found, and that the death toll is likely to run
into thousands as a result of the lack of heating;

7. Calls for emergency measures to be taken before winter to ensure that the orphanages are
heated; calls for the necessary appropriations to be released;

taking,

G. recalling its repeated calls for the release of all hostages held in the Lebanon,

on Kosovo

_The European Parliament,_

A. seriously alarmed at the human rights situation in Kosovo, where for far too long there have
been serious clashes between the Republic's police and the local population which have
claimed the lives of many dozens of people and led to indiscriminate arrests and grave

of six former members of the provincial government, including the ex-Prime Minister, Jusuf
Zejnulahu, and the ex-Interior Minister,

Serbian authorities and the forces representing the Albanian population of Kosovo to bring

region's autonomy and the rights of and guarantees for the ethnic groups living together within

part in a secessionist plot,

19 November 1987 (') and 7 July 1988 ( [2] ),

1. Condemns the continuing abuse of emergency legislation as a means of punishing political
dissenters by governments who are otherwise unable to obtain convictions in the courts through

governments, including the Government of Malaysia, that these practices are inconsistent with

released prisoners of war to Morocco and to respect and guarantee their freedom and rights after

RESOLUTION

on economic and monetary cohesion

_The European Parliament,_

A. having regard to the decision of the Dublin Summit to call an intergovernmental conference
on economic and monetary union in December 1990,

B. having regard to the commitment to harmonious development and the reduction of the
differences existing between the various regions and the backwardness of the less favoured
regions contained in the preamble to the EEC Treaty and, as reinforced by the Single
European Act, the emphasis on the strengthening of economic and social cohesion,

No C 284/136 Official Journal of the European Communities

Thursday, 11 October 1990

C. whereas the European Community does not consist merely of an economic and political area
but also of a group of citizens whose living conditions and access to culture and education
must be based on the sharing of a set of common values and a common civilization,

D. whereas, despite the statements made, in particular in the report of the Delors committee,
on the importance of a genuine structural and budgetary convergence, the preparatory work
for the intergovernmental conference sidesteps consideration of this essential aspect of
EMU and, a fortiori, the proposing of associated measures needed to obtain the greatest
democratic support for accelerating and consolidating the construction of Europe,

E. whereas the reduction of imbalances between the regions and countries of the Community is*
vital to the credibility of economic and monetary union,

F. whereas the accompanying policies and associated measures which should have stemmed
from the completion of the internal market have not yet been clearly defined,

G. whereas the current Community budget has not yet reached a level which would enable it to
have a macro-economic impact,

H. whereas pressure on public finances threatens to reduce the ability of certain Member States
to act,

I. whereas the scale and role of the EC budget in achieving greater economic and social
cohesion in the context of economic and monetary union has not been specified by the
Commission,

J. recalling its resolution of 16 May 1990 on economic and monetary union ('), which called
inter alia on the Commission to examine the budgetary and financial measures and instruments needed to ensure a reasonable spread among the regions of the welfare gains arising
from implementation of common policies, the internal market and economic and monetary
union,

K. whereas the first effects of the single market, which industry has anticipated by investing to
improve its competitiveness, confirm not only the great potential inherent in integration of
the markets and economic integration, but also the fact that this potential will not lead
automatically to economic and social cohesion, but, on the contrary, integration, in the
absence of adequate social policies to restore balance, will exacerbate regional imbalances
and social disparities,

L. whereas those countries set to reap most benefit from economic and monetary union must
offer practical proof of their solidarity with the less developed regions of the Community,

M. whereas the political resolve and methodological rigour applied to determining the stages
and certain instruments of economic and social cohesion in the framework of German
economic, monetary and social union constitute a new and important source of inspiration
for the renewed efforts to achieve economic and social cohesion at Community level,

I. Calls on the Commission to :

1. Conduct a study on the regional and social impact of EMU and compile a report on the
impact of economic and monetary union on the tax revenue and financial requirements of the
Member States;

2. Submit proposals in due time for the intergovernmental conference on economic and
monetary union with a view to achieving the declared aims of reducing disparities in regional
development and solving the structural problems which will confront a number of Member
States, regions and industries;

3. Review the state of progress as regards structural fund reform and adjust the Community
support frameworks and the endowment of the structural funds, not least to take account of the
new burdens resulting in the immediate future from possible assistance to be provided on the
territory of the former German Democratic Republic or in connection with German unification,

budgets and the Community budget, in particular with regard to structural, regional, education
and environment policy;

6. Draw up an evaluation of measures and instruments likely to bring about an increase in
economic capacity in a number of regions so as to make them less dependent on the transfer of
resources;

7. Assess what measures and budget will give the Community a genuine macro-economic
policy by determining the role of the Community budget which will make it possible to attain the
objective of cohesion;

8. Submit to Parliament a study on the structures and means of public funding at regional
level to be drawn up according to the criteria set out above;

9. Establish an array of objectives and indicators which will allow an assessment to be made of
the economic state of the regions and also the situation with regard to training, education, health
and the general framework which will provide a means of evaluating the living conditions of
European citizens and the objectives which form the basis for a People's Europe;

RESOLUTION

on Economic and Monetary Union

_The European Parliament,_

— having regard to its previous resolutions calling for the entry of the pound sterling into the
Exchange Rate Mechanism of the European Monetary System,

1. Welcomes the United Kingdom's decision to bring the pound sterling into the Exchange
Rate Mechanism;

2. Notes that the British Government has thereby abandoned its previous repeated declarations that the United Kingdom would join the ERM only when the British inflation rate
approximated the Community average;

3. Regrets that in the year since Margaret Thatcher sacked her Chancellor over his support for
early ERM entry, the British economy has sunk deeper into crisis, with higher inflation and
higher unemployment than a year ago, and a persistent massive balance of payments deficit, and
that the process of adjustment will therefore be more painful to British businesses, workers and
consumers; <

No C 284/138 Official Journal of the European Communities 12.11.90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

4. Regrets also that as a result of delayed entry into the ERM, in the first six months of this
year over 90,000 people fell more than six months in arrears with their mortgage payments,
almost double that for the same period last year;

5. Notes that the Governor of the Bank of England has been reported by the Financial Times
as hinting that the timing of the cut in interest rates was determined on political rather than
economic grounds;

6. Nevertheless welcomes the stated determination of the United Kingdom Chancellor of the
Exchequer to reduce the pound's margin of fluctuation to the normal 2,25% when the currency
has settled down within its present margins;

7. Believes, however, that in order to benefit fully from ERM entry, and to overcome the
severe underlying weakness of the UK economy, accompanying measures are needed to encourage investment, research and development and training, and to assist the recovery of British
business;

8. Looks forward to continued evolutionary progress towards full Economic and Monetary
Union;

9. Instructs its President to forward this Resolution to the Council and the Commission, the
Government of the United Kingdom and the governments of the other Member States and the
Committee of Central Bank Governors.

throughout the regions,

— tackling the severe environmental problems that pervade the region, and installing environmentally safer industrial and agricultural processes,

— better distribution of food and consumer goods, especially in the USSR,

— support for independent cooperatives and other forms of social ownership in the economy
as well as privatization measures;

3. Calls upon the Commission, Member States and the 'Group of 24' to negotiate substantial
write-downs of the region's hard-currency external debts, while recalling the necessity of similar
action over the debts of developing countries;

4. Calls upon the Commission, wherever possible, to ensure that financial transfers to the
region under economic aid and cooperation programmes take the form of grants rather than
loans;

5. Welcomes the progress in implementing the trade and cooperation agreement with the
USSR, and urges the Commission in its work with the USSR to take into consideration regional
priorities of the economy;

7. Insists that financial assistance from the Community should be conditional upon political
democratization and market economic structures;

possible; according to Article 238 of the Treaty, the Council and the Commission consistently,
necessarily and constantly should involve Parliament in the process;

the Community, the better it will be for the security and prosperity of the whole continent;

3. Calls on the Council and the Commission to monitor the developments in Romania and
Bulgaria carefully and encourage the democratic forces in those countries, but to make it clear
that any hesitation on the road towards achieving democracy and respect for human rights and
the rights of minorities will lead to counter-measures on the part of the Community;

4. Stresses once again its request for recognition of the right of self-determination of the Baltic
States;

5. Calls on the Council and the Commission to encourage the moves being made towards
democracy and freedom in the USSR but also to make it quite clear that the Community will
judge developments by deeds rather than by words;

6. Notes that only a social market economy can solve the grave economic problems and
therefore calls on the Commission to support the USSR and the other states in a genuine process
of development towards a free market economy;

governments of the countries of Eastern and Central Europe and the USSR.

9. Multifibre Arrangement — Uruguay Round

(a) A3-170/90

RESOLUTION

on the possible renewal of the Multifibre Arrangement or the subsequent regime after 1991

_The European Parliament,_

— having regard to its earlier resolutions, particularly that of 21 February 1986 ('), of 18
February 1987 ( [2] ) and of 17 May 1990 ( [3] ),

— having regard to the motion for a resolution tabled on 15 January 1990 by Mrs Muscardini
and Mr Mazzone on GATT and the European textiles industry (B3-628/89),

— having regard to the conclusions of the meeting of the Council held on 24 April 1989,

— having regard to the report of the Committee on External Economic Relations and the
opinions of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy and
the Committee on Development and Cooperation (A3-170/90),

A. reiterating its commitment to an open international trading system characterized by free
trade, free movement of goods and open markets,

B. taking the view that GATT rules and disciplines must be strengthened and that integration
of trade in textile and clothing products into normal GATT rules can only take place
simultaneously with the actual implementation of this regime,

C. whereas the Multifibre Arrangement expires in July 1991 and the nature of the agreement
which succeeds or replaces it will essentially be determined by the outcome of the current
round of GATT negotiations,

D. whereas completion of the internal market will in itself bring about an increase in imports of
clothing and textile products into the European Community,

E. whereas more than 3 000 000 people are directly employed in the Community textile and
clothing industry and it is the indirect source of some 2 000 000 further jobs and is thus one
of the leading industrial sectors in the Community in terms of employment,

F. considering that, with a view to the competitive position of the Community textile and
clothing industry, it is vital to promote the development and use of new technologies and
wishing to see emphasis placed on the clothing sector and greater attention paid to the
requirements of and constraints on SMUs,

G. whereas both in the Community and in other parts of the world, including those countries
which benefit from the MFA, textile and clothing industries have taken radical modernization and restructuring measures in an effort to become more competitive,

H. taking the view that if the economies of the developing countries are to benefit fully from
their exports, these must not be subsidized or take the form of dumping,

I. whereas textile exports are the most important source of revenue for many developing
countries enabling them to develop their economies and reduce their debts,

J. whereas textiles constitute the main exports of certain developing countries at the beginning
of their industrialization and whereas the industrialized countries must encourage the
developing countries to increase their exports with a view to fostering their economic
development and reducing their debts,

K. whereas serious distortions of the normal terms of trade are being caused by various
administrative practices (such as long delays in obtaining various authorizations and
licences), and technical regulations (such as quality and standards controls, health considerations, checks on the various components and so on) which often constitute almost insurmountable non-tariff barriers,

L. Acknowledging the advantages enjoyed by the developing countries in this sector of industry
in particular the safeguarding of a large number of mostly unskilled jobs; whereas the
dependency of various developing countries on their textile and clothing sectors, sometimes
of the order of 20%, is much higher than that of the industrialized countries,

M. whereas priority must be given to the elimination of non-tariff barriers and whereas these
barriers must either be reduced gradually or changed into tariffs (which should then be
lowered),

N. deploring the export subsidies granted by certain third countries to their textile industries,

O. stressing the disparity between the Community customs tariffs on imports of textile and
clothing products, which are generally relatively low, and the customs tariffs imposed by
certain quasi-industrialized countries which serve to block Community exports to those
countries,

P. expressing the wish that in both the industrialized countries and the quasi-industrialized
countries customs tariffs should be lowered to the level of Community tariffs,

Q. whereas the post-MFA arrangements must seek to secure a balance between the legitimate
interests of the producer countries whose textiles are imported into the Community and
those of Community textile producers, workers and consumers,

R. aware that the other negotiating partners in particular the United States have adopted a
divergent position but that the United States could alter its position,

S. taking into account the specific provisions resulting from Community commitments
towards a number of third countries, particularly in connection with its Mediterranean
policy and cooperation with the ACP states under the Lome IV Convention,

T. whereas in the last 15 years the Community textile and clothing sector has shed almost 40%
of the workers it initially employed and whereas every possible effort has to be made to
safeguard the remaining jobs and to maintain normal social conditions for the workers,

U. aware that sudden trade liberalization will lead to major job losses in the EC textile and
clothing industry,

V. aware that some regions of the EC depend heavily on the textile and clothing industry as the
principal source of economic activity; therefore severe job losses in the textile and clothing
industry will have effects out of proportion to the actual number of textile jobs lost,

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/149

Thursday, 11 October 1990

W. whereas, as a result of the abolition of regional quotas at the end of 1992, certain Community regions (in Greece, Portugal and Spain) where there is a subcontracted labour-intensive
textile and clothing industry, will be very vulnerable; an aid programme for these industries
should therefore be drawn up now as a matter of urgency (modernization; vocational
training policy; redevelopment aid), without creating new trade barriers,

X. whereas such aid should preferably involve:

— encouragement for research programmes for the modernization and strengthening of
the textile and clothing industry,

— improvements to the infrastructure and distribution system for textiles and clothing
from peripheral Community regions,

Y. whereas, bearing in mind the scale of the problems posed by the future arrangements in the
textile and clothing sector, it is vital that a textile and clothing observatory be set up in the
Community, particularly in order to make good the serious lack of statistics and to provide
information on, for example, the current and foreseeable state of industrial derealization in
this sector,

1. Takes the view that the MFA has helped to coordinate trade expansion and to prevent
international trade conflicts but that it has also had adverse repercussions:

— an excessive expansion in highly capital-intensive textile production in certain countries
where wages are low,

— restrictions on exports to the industrialized countries from countries which came late to the
market and guaranteed market shares for those who entered the market first and enjoy
sizeable quotas;

2. Considers that all countries which export textile and clothing products to the Community
must allow Community products genuine access to their markets and calls on the Commission to
make practical proposals to this end in the GATT negotiations which will require full liberalization by the industrialized countries and the NICs but ensure certain preferences for the
poorest developing countries;

3. Stresses the need to grant preferential treatment to the least-developed countries;

4. Takes the view that special financial arrangements should be introduced to cushion the
impact on Spain, Greece and Portugal of the phasing-out of the MFA;

5. Considers that aid for the Community's textile and clothing industry must be of a temporary nature and be directed in particular at labour intensive sectors such as clothing production
where the effects of increased competition will be felt most strongly;

6. Takes the view that all the newly-industrialized countries must meet, as quickly as possible,
all the stiffer obligations imposed on GATT contracting parties as soon as they have reached a
certain level of development;

7. Stresses that the completion of the internal Community market in textile and clothing
products will, lead to the abolition or the replacement of current national quotas by a Community quota, which is at least equal to the sum of the national quotas, and that, subsequently, the
notion of 'safeguard' will also have a meaning at Community level; it will nevertheless be
necessary to provide adequate mechanisms to avoid any excessive concentrations on certain
national markets;

8. Regards as a key component of liberalization a single market in which regional barriers and
national quotas may disappear; this should be seen as the EC's major contribution to the first
phase of the new system;

No C 284/150 Official Journal of the European Communities 12.11.90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

9. Concedes that the new rules must seek to secure a balance between the Community's actual
internal consumption needs and the desire of third countries to export their products to the
Community;

10. Calls for regular consultations to be held between the monitoring bodies and the representatives of industry, the trade unions and consumers with a view to adapting the new
provisions to future developments;

11. Urges the Commission to develop a comprehensive concept for the textile and clothing
sector with a view to introducing modern technology on both the production and equipment
sides; in this connection, R & D programmes will have to be closely coordinated in order to
produce a genuine Community policy in the textile and clothing sector;

12. Urges that a market observation system be set up in the Community for textiles and
clothing so that the effects on the industry and employment can be adequately monitored;

13. Urges that the BRITE programme, the ERDF, the ESF and the work of the EIB should be
coordinated as closely as possible to enable the Community textile and clothing industry to
restructure under the best possible conditions;

14. Takes the view that the Community regions where the textile and clothing sectors are
particularly badly hit by unemployment must receive the utmost attention and be granted
Regional Fund support in accordance with appropriate procedures, which must be developed
with the participation of the regional and local authorities and economic and social operators;

15. Points out that the Community must, as part of its textiles trade policy, enable textileproducing third countries to diversify their economies and create a genuine domestic market;
calls on the Commission to investigate the anticipated effect of changes in Eastern Europe on the
Community's textile and clothing industries and world textile policy, including the repercussions on the developing countries, and to inform Parliament of its findings;

16. Points out that the Community must, as part of its textile trade policy, help textileproducing third countries to diversify their economies and create a genuine domestic market;

17. Takes the viewjhat, during the transitional period, liberalization and the strengthening of
GATT rules and disciplines will have to take place gradually and go hand in hand and that the
length of that period will depend on the progress towards strengthening of GATT rules and
disciplines with special regard to fair competition;

18. Fears that sudden trade liberalization without counterbalancing safeguard measures will
have an adverse impact on the Community in two ways:

— a fall in producer prices without a proportionate fall in consumer prices,

— a drop in Community production and, therefore, job losses;

19. Advocates, therefore, not least on social grounds, a gradual liberalization of trade over a
transitional period on terms which" safeguard the environment, intellectual property and, in
particular, fair competition with regard to supplies of textile raw materials;

20. Takes the view that, during the transitional period, liberalization and the strengthening of
GATT rules and disciplines will have to go hand in hand and that the length of that period will
depend on the progress towards strengthening of GATT rules and disciplines with special regard
to fair competition and that textiles should be included in GATT during the transitional period;

12. 11.90
Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/151

Thursday, 11 October 1990

21. Urges the Community to continue to fulfil its responsibilities towards the developing
countries (ACP countries, and Mediterranean countries) on the basis of a preferential scheme;

22. Takes the view that developing countries and particularly the poorest countries must have
greater opportunities not only to produce textiles but also to have their own clothing industry
and therefore calls on the Commission to support the textile and clothing industry in these
countries, for instance by industrial cooperation programmes which concentrate on the transfer
of technology adapted to traditional production methods;

23. Takes the view that consideration should be given to abolishing quotas which have been
underutilized over a long period;

24. Considers that the possible liberalization of trade calls for a strengthening of Community
trade policy involving:

— a coherent policy at the external frontier of the large market (uniform customs rules, import
schemes, rules of origin),

— EC legislation in the field of designs and models, in relation to counterfeiting together with
an extension of the regulation on imports to include designs and models in order to combat
counterfeit products in a vigorous and effective way,

— an active strategy to gain access to all potential markets; in order efficiently to promote
marketing activities for achieving this objective, supplementary financial means would be
necessary,

— correct application of anti-dumping procedures according to the GATT rules as modified by
the conclusion of the Uruguay Round,

— applying an effective global safeguard clause allowing selective applications, in specified
circumstances harmful to the progressive liberalization of trade within the strengthened
GATT rules and disciplines, and current procedures to be replaced or supplemented by the
sample procedure,

— modernization of the textile and clothing industry, particularly with a view to increasing the
competitiveness of Community SMUs,

— special efforts to aid those Community regions which are most vulnerable by virtue of their
low degree of modernization (Portugal, Greece and Spain);

25. Wishes to see a special financial instrument set up* to help Greece, Portugal and Spain
restructure their textiles and clothing sectors in conjunction with the regional and social funds;

26. Takes the view that the distribution system in the Community for textiles must be
improved, in particular for products from Greece, Portugal and Spain;

27. Takes the view that improving the inadequate infrastructure in the peripheral regions of
the Community will have a favourable effect on the industrial development of these regions and
that the textile industry will also benefit as a result;

28. Considers in particular that in certain regions a special Community effort is called for in
the control of pollution;

29. Takes the view that the new system must ensure competition on the following terms:

(a) open markets in all the countries participating in the new system, while retaining the special,
preferential treatment of the developing countries within the GATT system,

(b) the elimination of non-tariff barriers to trade,

(c) measures to prevent the circumvention of anti-dumping rules,

(d) measures to apply the results of anti-dumping determination according to revised GATT
rules,

(e) effective protection of labels, patterns, designs and models as part of the agreement on
intellectual property, taking into account the specific nature of the textile and clothing
sector,

No C 284/152 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11. 90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

(0 the application of the GATT code on subsidies to the textile and clothing sector,

(g) restricted application of safeguard clauses, particularly to assist emerging industries (Article
XIX of the GATT Agreement),

(h) the introduction of special procedures to cover products from certain countries whose
imports have gradually become excessive or which practice forms of social dumping,

(i) the inclusion in the GATT of a social clause based on the ILO Convention,

(j) the strict use of the balance of payment clause, particularly in conjunction with infant
industry clauses,

(k) better monitoring of the origin of products to prevent the diversion of trade and the abuse of
preferences,

30. Calls for social aspects to be taken into account during the GATT negotiations; calls on
the Commission therefore to secure the adoption of social provisions;

31. Calls on the Commission to provide Parliament with detailed information and to obtain
Parliament's approval before concluding a new agreement in the field of textile and clothing
policy;

32. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the
GATT Secretariat and the governments of the Member States.

haying regard to the report by the Committee on External Economic Relations and the
opinions by the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection, the Committee on
Development and Cooperation and the Committee on Institutional Affairs (A3-215/90),

A. whereas the strengthening of an open system of world trade must of necessity be achieved by
respecting worldwide environmental balances and must be accompanied by the promotion
of parallel social development, especially in the developing countries, and the restructuring
of sectors which are in crisis but which would have potential in a freer and more open world
market,

B. having regard to the fact that the expansion and liberalization of trade cannot be considered
as ends in themselves, that the expansion of free trade does not necessarily serve the needs of
the poor of the world or the conservation of the environment and there are cases in which the
freedom granted to trade in goods and services may undermine a more fundamental
freedom — the freedom which allows peoples and their governments to exercise democratic
control and tackle their most important problems effectively,

C. in view of the increasing interdependence of the world's economies, as evidenced, among
other things, by the eleven-fold increase in world trade since the beginning of the 1950s
while output has increased only slightly more than five-fold,

D. whereas these increases in production and international trade must be assessed in the light
of a cost/benefit analysis taking into account the cost of such developments in terms of
energy, the environment and health,

E.

F.

having regard to the magnitude of the European Community's external trade which
accounts for approximately one third of all world trade,

acknowledging the vital part played by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
in building up, defending and developing a liberal and multilateral system of world trade,

G. bearing in mind the importance in an increasingly interdependent world of multinational
corporations, many of them having turnovers bigger than the gross national products of
most countries, and the powers that they have to distort world trade and reduce the freedom
over economic policy of elected governments,

H. whereas the worldwide recession that started in the mid-1970s led to an alarming increase in
protectionist tendencies worldwide, threatening the continued existence of the open svstem
of world trade,

I. whereas a growing number of signatories — not least the United States — resorted to
GATT [3] ° [r U n, l a t e r a l m e a s u r e s i n t h e i r t r a d e] PO^cy, which entailed a loss of credibility for

J. considering that, in particular, unilateral and bilateral protectionist measures such as so^ [a] !%l [ v o l u n t a r v] restraint agreements' were taken, in breach of the spirit and letter of
GATT,

K. noting that one of the aims of the new round _of_ multilateral trade negotiations agreed in
Punta del Este in September 1986 was to halt and reverse these protectionist tendencies
which means the abolition of interference in trade and reinforcement of the agreed multilateral rules which are to be effective and have the force of law,

L. aware that, in addition to trade in goods, the international exchange of services, protection
of intellectual property and trade-related investment measures in third countries and efficient and effective arbitration procedures are becoming steadily more important as a result
of the increasing worldwide integration of the national economies, and that multinational
arrangements covering these areas are needed,

No C 284/154 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

M. noting that the development of international trade agreements has immediate and significant consequences for natural resource and environmental protection, and for the practice
of sustainable development, and having regard to the increased demand for an ecologically
sensitive world trade system since the start of the Uruguay Round,

N. whereas one of the major and largely unexplored values of standing tropical forests, as well
as other unique ecosystems, is held in their diverse species; the uses of such diverse resources
are often known to local peoples who may have little understanding or poor access to
mechanisms for protecting intellectual property,

O. deploring the fact that environmental protection, which is, after all,, linked to the issues
being discussed under GATT, has not been included on the agenda for the negotiations,

P. whereas the economic development of the developing countries other than the NIC should
be supported through special and favourable treatment for these countries, and whereas this
principle should be adhered to in all matters on which negotiations take place within the
Uruguay Round,

Q. whereas, despite the wish expressed by Parliament, the signatories have not included in the
Uruguay Round negotiations on incorporating minimum standards for the protection of
workers as laid down by the International Labour Organization,

I. Fundamental significance of GATT

1. Reiterates the fundamental principles of GATT, in particular multilateralism, mostfavoured nation status and the outlawing of discrimination, which have still lost none of their
importance for world trade, more than 40 years after the establishment of GATT;

2. Considers that confidence in a multilateral trading system, which is absolutely necessary,
can only be sustained if all countries adhere to the spirit and the letter of its agreed rules and
disciplines, using collective mechanisms to enforce the rights of the weak as well as the strong in
a balanced, transparent and non-discriminatory manner;

3. Points out that the GATT rules, as guidelines for the trade policy of the signatories, were
not created solely for times of economic prosperity but can help to prevent a reliance on
protectionist measures from making economic problems worse in times of crisis;

4. Is concerned at the increasing tendency towards protectionism among industrialized countries, notably Japanese trading practices and the closely related unilateral and extraterritorial
nature of US trade legislation, and urges all GATT signatories to respect and implement the
commitment to standstill and rollback and to adjust the provisions of GATT relating to the
general safeguard clause (Article XIX);

5. Regrets that to date few signatories have submitted any such proposals for rollback;

6. Warns against increased efforts to reach bilateral or even unilateral trade arrangements, as
exemplified by the United States Trade Act, particularly section 301;

7. Welcomes the agreement concluded during the mid-term review to carry out periodic
checks on the GATT's signatories' trade policies, seeing this as a contribution towards a greater
transparency in trade policy;

8. Calls on the Commission to provide the European Parliament with timely and comprehensive information on the report to be submitted to GATT in December 1990 on Community
trade policy;

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/155

Thursday, 11 October 1990

9. Notes the world-wide tendency towards regional economic groupings and free trade zones
(US-Canada, South and South-East Asia, Pacific Basin, Central and South America), advocating
a clear redefinition of free trade zones and customs unions (Article XXIV of GATT) that
constitute exceptions to the principle of most-favoured nation status as temporary steps towards
a free and fair world trade system;

10. Detects in this tendency, however, the threat of increasing pressure in favour of the
bilateralism of regional areas and stresses that only multi-lateralism in the context of a stable and
well-defined framework of conduct and rules will guarantee that regionalism does not turn into
economic and political nationalism.

11. Points to the connection between the world trade system and the world monetary and
financial systems as the pillars of an international economic order and welcomes the agreement
to strengthen cooperation between GATT, the International Monetary Fund and the World
Bank, which is to be further institutionalized; believes in the great importance of the ecu playing
a more significant role in world trade, for example in the setting of prices of raw materials;

12. Welcomes efforts to strengthen the involvement of the ministers responsible for trade
policy by holding regular ministerial GATT conferences as a further step in the institutional
development of GATT into a world trade organization;

13. Calls for an early meeting of the trade and environment ministers of the GATT signatories; notes that the preparation of such a meeting should be entrusted to the GATT Working
Party on the Environment and International Trade;

14. Proposes to the signatories that following successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round
talks should be opened as soon as possible with the goal of turning GATT into an efficient and
effective world trade organization with fixed areas of responsibility but considers that care
should be taken in choosing the form that such a new organization should take and proposes that
within the next two years a proposal should be presented to the Ministerial Conference, but
insists that it should have a democratic international structure and be empowered to regulate
finally the trade activities of states as well as multi-national corporations; supports the Commission's proposal to set up a Multilateral Trade Organization (MTO) if this will help to prevent
GATT from being split up into multiplicity of different rules;

15. Stresses that the role of GATT would be enhanced by the creation of a Multilateral Trade
Organization which would consolidate the conclusions of the Uruguay Round in an institutional
framework and urges the Commission to seek an early agreement to this effect as soon as the
Round is completed;

16. Wishes the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which have turned their backs on the
socialist practice of central government control over the economy and are implementing economic reforms with the aim of setting up market economies, to be more involved in GATT and
calls on the Commission to support the integration of the states of Central and Eastern Europe;

17. Welcomes and supports the moves towards integrating other former State-trading countries which are not members into the GATT system as and when their economic reforms are
sufficient to ensure that they have open market economies and particularly welcomes the
granting of GATT observer status to the Soviet Union;

18. Is fundamentally in favour of Chinese membership of GATT, but does not consider it
appropriate at the present moment to press ahead with negotiations with China;

19. Points to the Community's special status within GATT, to which the EEC is not a
signatory but with which it conducts negotiations on behalf of the Member States, which are
signatories, as part of the common trade policy;

No C 284/156 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

20. Proposes that the Community itself should become a signatory to GATT, especially after
completion of the internal market, which will inevitably entail the strengthening of the common
trade policy;

II. On the state of negotiations

21. Is, however, concerned at the wide differences between negotiating positions that persist
in some of the negotiating groups, for example, agricultural external trade, textiles and clothing
and safeguards clauses;

22. Calls on all the signatory states, and the Commission as the Community's negotiating
agent, to show the maximum degree of flexibility and willingness to compromise possible so that
the Uruguay Round may be concluded successfully with an agreement as scheduled in December
to the benefit of all signatory states;

23. Expressly recognizes the constructive contribution of the Commission as the Community's negotiating agent in the negotiating rounds held so far;

24. Criticizes the fact that the contracting parties have not succeeded in negotiating social
clauses in the framework of GATT and calls on the contracting parties and the Commission in
particular to work towards the inclusion, finally, of clauses relating to social aspects, employment and the labour market;

25. Calls on the other industrialized nations also to shoulder their responsibilities for a
forward-looking development of the world trade system and, by making appropriate proposals,
to ensure that benefits and commitments are equally balanced, both between the various matters
under negotiation and between the industrialized nations and the developing countries;

26. Stresses the globality of the negotiating process and therefore welcomes the fact that in the
Committee for Trade Negotiations the signatories are endeavouring to establish the profile of a
global package, designed to serve as the guideline for the final stage of negotiations in the
remaining two months;

27. Is in favour of greater differentiation under GATT between the developing countries,
with the least developed countries enjoying far-reaching preferences, and the 'newly industrialized economies' being progressively brought into GATT as equal partners;

28. Stresses the importance of the undertakings made by the EEC on behalf of its ACP
partners in the Lome IV Agreement and the need to comply with them;

29. Is concerned that major concessions are being demanded from the developing countries in
the new negotiating areas such as trade in services, trade-related investment measures and the
protection of intellectual property, whereas one of these countries' vital needs is to have the
means of controlling the development of their economy in these spheres, and whereas the
industrialized nations are reluctant to make concessions benefiting the developing countries in
traditional areas such as market access and textiles and clothing;

30. Draws the attention of the developing countries, particularly those that have already
taken the first successful steps on the road to industrialization, to the fact that it is in their
long-term interest to accept commitments under GATT, and in particular to open up their
markets;

31. Notes, on the other hand, that in many areas the developing countries adopt an excessively passive attitude and are content to refer to the principle of preferential treatment;

32. Stresses the importance of special and more favourable treatment for the developing
countries within GATT, to be implemented in respect of all fifteen topics under negotiation
during the Uruguay Round so as to ensure improved integration of the developing countries in
the multilateral trade system;

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/157

Thursday, 11 October 1990

33. Calls on the developing countries, at the same time, to make substantial offers, in line with
their degree of development, so as to ensure that negotiations to integrate them can be carried
out more efficiently and rapidly;

III. The individual negotiating groups

_(a) Market_ _access_

34. Welcomes the Commission's negotiating strategy of linking tariff reductions with the
dismantling of non-tariff obstacles to trade so as to prevent concessions over customs tariffs
being cancelled out by non-tariff barriers;

35. Regrets that differences over negotiating technicalities have brought negotiations on tariff
cuts to a temporary halt, and trusts that the procedure now agreed — to negotiate both on the
basis of a general formula and also bilaterally, using lists of proposals and demands — will make
rapid progress possible;

36. Calls, in particular, for a substantial cut in maximum tariff rates and a reduction in tariff
escalation, whereby raw materials are subject to far lower customs tariffs than manufactures;

37. Advocates multilateral rules for 'pre-shipment inspections', which help prevent the
undervaluing — or overvaluing — of commodities for fraudulent purposes, without giving rise
to new trade barriers for exporters;

38. Hopes that multilateral rules covering all the rules of origin, based on the principle of
non-discrimination and transparency, will be laid down in order to avoid arbitrary application
of such rules creating a non-tariff barrier to trade;

39. Urges, in this connection, the developing countries in particular to accede to the GATT
code on import licences, customs evaluation, standards and public procurement negotiated
during the Tokyo round;

_(b) Natural raw materials_

40. Advocates applying the fundamental principles of the GATT to all natural raw materials
especially non-ferrous metals and fuels, which in some cases are subject to prohibitive customs
duties, export taxes and double pricing;

41. Insists that talks be held on a reduction in Tariff barriers on imports as well as exports;

42. Welcomes the inclusion of power-producing raw materials in this negotiating group;

43. Recommends that the fisheries sector also be subject to the GATT rules, in particular as
regards access to excess fisheries resources, the granting of fishing rights and access to ports and
port services and the principle of non-discrimination; it is vital that the progress made in this
field should be in step with progress on the reduction or removal of tariff and non-tariff
measures for products based on natural resources and agricultural produce;

_(c) Textiles and clothing_

44. Confirms the commitment entered into by all signatories during the mid-term review to
negotiate on the progressive and gradual imposition of more extensive and rigorous GATT rules
and discipline on the trade in textiles and clothing and recalls that the MFA was permitted only
as a special temporary exception to the GATT's principle of multilateralism and non-discrimination;

No C 284/158 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

45. Takes the view that the existence of a single market, within which there would be no need
for recourse to a regional classification and national quotas, is a fundamental aspect of liberalization and should be seen as the Community's main contribution during the initial phase of the
new system;

46. Stresses, in this connection, the importance of the negotiations on restricting the possibilities of invoking safeguard clauses and the protection of intellectual property for the restructuring of the trade in textiles and clothing;

47. Supports the removal of all quantitative restrictions both in the main importing countries
and also in the chief producing countries, particularly the newly industrialized countries, for a
limited transitional period to be agreed;

48. Considers that, for the transitional period, a special protection mechanism as a defence
against sudden leaps in imports is necessary, taking into account the experience of the Multifibre
Arrangement as a sort of safety net;

49. Recognizes the importance of the textiles sector to industrial development in the developing countries and therefore supports preferential treatment, particularly for the poorest
developing countries, in order to enable them to automate and modernize their textile and
clothing industries;

50. Rejects the US negotiating proposal to set global import quotas for textiles and clothing as
unhelpful, as this would lead to additional barriers to exports to the United States for a number
of signatories, including the EEC;

51. Condemns the approval by the United States Congress of the new Textile, Apparel and
Footwear Trade Act which blatantly conflicts with the US negotiating position and therefore
calls upon the American administration to do all within its power to withdraw it;

52. Regrets that in some countries, particularly the developing countries, working conditions
in the textile and clothing sector often fail to meet the minimum requirements laid down by the
International Labour Organization and reiterates its demand for the inclusion of binding
provisions setting minimum standards of industrial safety (so-called social clauses) and relating
to the autonomous organization of workers in the world trade system;

53. For the rest, refers to the report drawn up by its committee responsible on the trade in
textiles and clothing;

_(d) Agricultural external trade_

54. Holds the view that the increase in trade in agricultural products should comply with the
principle of sustainable development formulated in the Brundtland report;

55. Maintains its point of view that in the framework of the Uruguay Round of GATT
negotiations an international agreement should be established to restore the equilibrium on the
world markets for major agricultual products;

56. Is of the opinion that a complete liberalization of trade in agricultural commodities, as
proposed for the medium term by the United States, is unacceptable; the European Community
must maintain the right to protect its own agricultural structure, characterized by many smallsized family farms, by agricultural production which protects less-favoured regions and marginal regions and by a large deficit in certain agricultural products, but also notes that the subsidy
race, which has had a significant impact especially since the early 1980s, has left too little scope
for market forces in some producer countries, leading to disturbances in world agricultural
trade;

57. Takes the view that the dumping of agricultural products on the world markets must be
prohibited forthwith as such activities destabilize the world markets for such products and harm
the developing countries;

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/159

Thursday, 11 October 1990

58. Therefore calls for the gradual reform of those elements in the agricultural policy of all the
signatories that badly distort trade;

59. Considers that the measures to reduce market supports should be accompanied by further
measures providing direct income support for farmers to reassure them of the continued
commitment to the rural economy;

60. Is of the opinion that the efforts made to date by the European Community to limit and
control its agricultural production, by establishing a system of quotas and stabilizers for the
main sectors of its agricultural production, must be recognized as a substantial contribution to
restoring the equilibrium on the world market for agricultural products;

61. Takes the view that account must be taken of the differences in the structure of agricultural holdings in the various countries;

62. Calls upon the United States and the Cairns Group to drop their demands for the
elimination of all subsidies distorting agricultural trade by the end of the 1990s;

63. Calls instead for a constructive dialogue involving all the participants in the negotiations,
so that the signatories can agree on the definition of a yardstick for assessing support, including
all internal support affecting agricultural external trade and all external protection measures so
that comparability of support measures is attained and a balanced adjustment can be undertaken at international level;

64. Is, therefore, of the opinion that all systems of support for agriculture, including the
system of deficiency payments, should be taken into consideration for the establishment of the
agreement that will be concluded at the end of the GATT negotiations;

65. Believes that this step will serve as the basis for any global, gradual and controlled
reductions in national agricultural support measures, including in particular specific treatment
for the developing countries, to which the signatories may commit themselves at the conclusion
of the Uruguay Round;

66. Supports the Commission in its proposals for a planned gradual reduction in subsidies
and support measures insofar as this will contribute, on the one hand, to environmentally
acceptable production and the avoidance of surplus production and, on the other hand, to
maintain family-run farms, and agrees with the Commission that agricultural subsidies are not a
taboo subject;

67. Considers that, in the agreement to be concluded at the end of the GATT negotiations,
account should be taken of all agricultural support systems, including the deficiency payments
system;

68. Supports the recent proposals by the Commission as a positive contribution to arrive at a
final agreement; urges strongly all trading partners now to overcome their differences in order to
arrive at an agreement which substantially improves the world trade in agricultural products
without excluding future negotiations; emphasizes in this framework once more that an adaptation of the internal agricultural policy should take place in a socially acceptable way and by
introducing instruments that can achieve a sufficient control of production in order to avoid the
export of excessive production and any negative effects for the developing countries;

69. Believes that there is a need for clear agreements on the time-scale and extent of reductions in subsidies which distort competition;

70. Supports the position of the Commission for a global rebalancing in order to achieve a
more balanced and fairer trade in agricultural products; is, however, of the opinion that such a
rebalancing should not have negative consequences for the developing countries;

No C 284/160 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

71. Is disturbed by the damage caused to national economies and the environment in developing countries by the dumping on the world market of surpluses from subsidized agricultural
systems in the northern hemisphere;

72. Points out that when customs duties are imposed on cereal substitutes transitional and
restructuring measures must be adopted for the developing countries which currently export
such cereal substitutes; considers that the Community must be involved in the financing of these

measures;

73. Seeks the early establishment of a GATT Working Group on Agricultural Trade and
sustainable Land use;

74. Therefore supports the Commission's proposals for the gradual reduction of all support
provided by agricultural producer countries; also demands, however, that the interests of the
developing countries should be taken into account, particularly with regard to market access for
their products, market prices and their processing facilities for their products;

75. Demands that additional accompanying measures be taken to increase the local and
regional use of products from developing countries and to develop local processing facilities;

76. Stresses that the instability of both volume and price are of great importance for exports of
developing countries' agricultural products, and that safeguards against such instability must be
permitted in addition to any that are retained against import surges and excessive price movements of imports;

77. Insists that for both development and food security reasons developing countries should
continue to be permitted to set domestic agricultural prices above world market levels, at least as
a specific exemption from GATT rules;

78. Considers that developing countries must be permitted domestic agricultural marketing
boards and price stabilization schemes, in view of the special character of agricultural production in these countries;

79. Urges the Community to stand firm in these talks on its demand for minimum quality
standards for agricultural products; believes that consumer protection considerations must be
taken into account when establishing minimum standards for the quality of agricultural products, while trading partners should be allowed to take measures to re-establish fair trading
conditions;

80. Regrets that the negotiations have so far skated over the essential subject of the protection
of the environment and nature in connection with world trade rules and calls for exceptional
provisions in this field as in the field of health and plant protection, so that higher standards may
operate reliably and restrict market access;

81. Takes the view that an agreement on plant protection should be based not purely on
scientific arguments but that account should equally be taken of consumer protection when
laying down minimum requirements for the quality of agricultural products; considers, however,
that these measures should never be adopted on the basis of resident treatment but always on the
principle of reciprocity and thus that a special clause should be included in the agreement
enabling the partners to undertake such negotiations;

82. Notes that the tabling of a new agriculture bill in the US Congress clearly conflicts with the
United States' negotiating position and is in breach of the Geneva Agreements of April 1989 on
the freezing of support;

83. Notes that there is no longer any justification for the external trade waiver granted to the
United States many years ago and advocates the abolition of waivers and other exceptional
provisions which benefit industrialized countries;

12. 11. 90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/161

Thursday, 11 October 1990

84. Urges Japan to submit constructive proposals for opening its markets to agricultural
products and food, and condemns it for simply stressing the importance of guaranteeing its own
supplies;

85. Takes the view that the Commission should refrain from concessions, particularly over
export refunds, so long as the other negotiating parties, especially the United States, fail to offer
anything in return;

86. Is dismayed that the burdens imposed on European farmers between 1983 and 1986
consequent upon the reform of the common agricultural policy (a freeze on officially fixed prices
and a reduction in guarantees) have not been credited to the Community;

87. Points out that for this reason every effort must be made to utilize this credit item in an
appropriate manner and considers that the best strategy is certainly not for the Community to
proceed unilaterally with its efforts to dismantle support to agriculture, while other signatories,
especially the United States, pursue an aggressive policy and deprive the Community of traditional markets;

88. Is of the opinion that any agreement to be concluded for the agricultural sector should
have broad support and insists therefore that the conclusions of the coordinating committee
cannot on their own establish an agreement, but that the agreement should be established
following ijegotiations by the Commission in direct contact with the Council and Parliament;

89. Believes that laying down rules on applied biogenetics and biotechnology is a matter for
the FAO and not GATT and that steps must be taken to ensure that farmers and stockbreeders in
developing countries have access to local genetic material and to scientific and technological
information;

_(e)_ _Tropical_ _products_

90. Welcomes the tariff concessions on tropical products agreed to by the industrialized
countries during the mid-term review;

91. Sees this as a major step towards balanced results for all those concerned;

92. Deplores the fact that the majority of signatories, with the exception of the EEC, have so
far made no progress in relation to what was initially agreed at Montreal;

93. Points out that as far as tropical products in particular are concerned, lowering the tariffs
for manufactures from the poorest countries will have a positive effect on the economies of those
countries;

94. Notes, however, that the agreed tariff reductions are threatening to undermine the
preferences granted to the ACP States and other developing countries, and calls on the European
Community to devise, for the benefit of the developing countries, systems to compensate for the
losses incurred in this field;

95. Demands that trade in tropical timber should be strictly limited, if not prohibited, for
ecological, economic and cultural reasons;

96. Supports the request for the abolition of taxes on the consumption of tropical products;

_(f) GATT_ _articles_

97. Welcomes the efforts to reinforce multilateral discipline with regard to protectionist
measures caused by balance of payments difficulties by adopting clearer wording, especially of
Articles XII, XIV and XV, to prevent these GATT provisions being used, particularly by the
developing countries, as general clauses justifying the long-term closure of their markets;

No C 284/162 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

98. Points, in this connection, to the significance of better cooperation between the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and GATT and not only supports a democratization of
all international decision-making structures but explicitly points out the negative decisions of
the international financial institutions and their influence on the participation of all states in
world trade, who ultimately require a different orientation;

99. Urges that Article XXb of the GATT Treaty be strengthened and further expanded to
allow the protection of (domestic) products in the interests of environmental objectives;

_(g) Arrangements and_ _agreements_ _from earlier rounds_

100. Expresses its general support for a clearer and more functional formulation of the GATT
codes agreed in earlier rounds, such as the code on norms and standards, import licences and
public procurement, and for efforts to ensure that more signatories, especially the developing
countries, accede to them;

101. Notes that free and fair world trade is increasingly threatened by strategies devised by
the multinationals to oust competitors from the market; such companies fail to abide by national
rules on competition since they operate across frontiers; legislation on worldwide competition is
urgently needed to check these activities; demands therefore more far-reaching codes of conduct
within GATT, insofar as appropriate rules are not laid down in GATT;

102. Calls for voluntary codes of conduct in the GATT system pending the introduction of
generally applicable and verifiable competition rules; the Tokyo Round codes and agreements
now in force are no longer adequate; this applies in particular to price discrimination, notably
through the mechanism of transfer prices;

103. Insists that rules for multinationals be introduced in GATT with regard to employment,
environmental aspects, transfer prices and marketing practices;

104. Refers, with regard to the anti-dumping code of conduct, to the necessity to continue
developing this multilateral framework for the signatories' anti-dumping policy so as to make
the anti-dumping procedure more transparent, more effective, simpler and speedier, without
detriment to the even-handed treatment of producers and importers;

105. Regrets that in addition to growing protectionism, there are also dumping measures
which are undermining fair competition and considers that anti-dumping measures must be
reinforced and tightened;

106. Supports all moves leading to a streamlining of the procedure, an extension of the
validity of the provisional customs duties and improved safeguards against evasion of GATT
rules;

107. Welcomes the Commission's moves to ensure that GATT anti-dumping rules are
brought into line with important areas of the Community's anti-dumping legislation and the
rules on assessment of damage and due consideration of the public interest and with the
demands of international jurisdiction, in particular the improvements, clarification and extension of the codes and agreements resulting from the Tokyo Round, to ensure that the previous
anti-dumping rules are amended on the basis of a compromise between the positions of the
Community and the United States; until an international code on competition is drawn up,
comparable conditions for market access must be created, not least by combatting dumping as
unfair conduct, although anti-dumping measures must not be used either to seal off domestic
markets or in pursuance of a protectionist industrial policy;

108. Advocates that the aim of the GATT negotiations should be to establish worldwide
discipline to ensure that compliance with GATT rules is as uniform as possible. A new system of
rules should include effective regional protection as well as improving the reliability and quality
of decision-making by means of a permanent court of arbitration. Furthermore, it is important
for GATT rules to be brought into line with European standards, particularly with regard to the

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/163

Thursday, 11 October 1990

rules on the assessment of damage and due consideration of the public interest, for anti-dumping
laws to be revised to prevent evasion, on the basis of the American experience, and for rules for
GATT discipline to be introduced;

109. Demands, especially following the findings of a GATT panel that the new EEC arrangements to deal with attempts to circumvent anti-dumping measures did not conform to the
GATT rules, that multilateral rules should be speedily agreed enabling the signatories to defend
themselves against obvious circumventions of anti-dumping measures of theirs that conform to
GATT;

110. Refers, for the rest, to the separate report on the Community's anti-dumping policy by
the EP committee responsible;

_(h) Safeguard clauses_

111. Notes that the safeguard clauses laid down in Article XIX of GATT have not been used
on any large scale by the signatories in the past;

112. Considers that this is chiefly due to the fact that on this basis safeguard clauses can only
be implemented in respect of all GATT signatories ('erga omnes') and not simply in respect of
the most efficient producer or producers, whose exports have been primarily responsible for the
disruption of the market;

113. Regrets that this has led to a large number of bilateral agreements not conforming to
GATT, the so-called 'voluntary restraint agreements', and demands that these 'grey area measures' should be brought into line with the improved and strengthened GATT rules on conclusion
of the Uruguay round;

114. Considers unacceptable provisions which make it impossible for national governments
or regional organizations to adopt measures independently to protect their environment, natural
resources and landscape;

_(i) Subsidies_

115. Advocates a more precise and functional formulation of the GATT provisions relating to
subsidies that distort trade and competition;

116. Endorses the outlawing of any form of export subsidy and favours the revision of the lists
of banned export subsidies;

117. Considers the attempt to classify state support as subsidies that are banned, those that
are permitted but subject to multilateral monitoring and those that are permitted without
multilateral monitoring to be fundamentally correct and trusts that on this basis it will be
possible to negotiate specific lists of these three categories of state support;

118. Emphasizes that clearly-defined measures by public economic development funds, especially in the area of regional and social policy, may make a positive contribution to balanced
economic development;

119. Demands, therefore, that such measures should be permissible and should not give rise
to retaliatory action by other signatories;

120. Demands that exact criteria should be laid down for deciding whether internal support
measures subject to multilateral monitoring are detrimental to the commercial interests of other
signatories and thus a basis for retaliatory measures;

121. Considers that cultural products, particularly broadcasting services, should be subject to
different rules from those applying to other kinds of products, and that if it is to survive, the
cultural sector, insofar as it ensures freedom of expression, requires protection by means of
transitional arrangements derogating from the principle of liberalization of trade in services;

No C 284/164 Official Journal of the European Communities

Thursday, 11 October 1990

122. Refers in this connection to the importance of an effective arbitration procedure for
disputes;

123. Calls, in particular, for a clear definition of what constitutes a subsidy, to prevent
countervailing measures being taken that overstep their true protective purpose;

_(j) Arbitration_ _procedures_

124. Notes with satisfaction that the improvements to the arbitration procedure agreed
during the mid-term review and applied experimentally since May 1989 have led to a marked
increase in the number of trade conflicts between contracting parties that have been settled
under the GATT rules;

125. Considers, in particular, that a reform of procedures is required (the selection of experts,
the duration of the procedure, evidence requirements, the participation of third parties to the
agreement;

126. Views the participation of independent experts as an opportunity to improve the objectivity of the inquiries and conclusions of the group of experts appointed to mediate in a trade
conflict, thus increasing the chances of its findings being approved and implemented by all the
signatories;

127. Calls for the GATT Treaty to contain provisions enabling disputes arising from environmental measures to be resolved;

128. Welcomes all attempts to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of GATT, especially
the reform of the arbitration procedure aimed at arriving at subordination to GATT decisions by
means of a two-stage procedure;

129. Supports also all steps which may lead to the procedure being shortened and made
independent, so that protectionist tendencies and evasion may be prevented more effectively
than hitherto;

130. Urges the United States to repeal Section 301 of the trade law containing multilateral
measures to be taken in the event of trade differences, in view of the improvement in the
procedures for regulating differences at multilateral level and the inclusion of new sectors, such
as the protection of intellectual property in the GATT multilateral rules;

_(k) Protection of intellectual_ _property_

131. Believes that since science and technology are part of the shared heritage of mankind, the
transfer of science and technology should be available to developing countries too;

132. Points out that a long-term industrialization strategy for the developing countries cannot
be based on the systematic violation of the property rights of third parties; sees opportunities for
swift action in comprehensive trade mark protection, also as far as consumer protection is
concerned, but supports proposals to allow the 'poorer' developing countries transitional periods;

133. Advocates comprehensive patent protection, also with regard to necessary technological
development, since commercial legal protection and patent protection are basic prerequisites for
access to the market and the transfer of technology, and hence for development, while stressing
the importance of low-cost access to basic technologies and the granting of transitional arrangements for the poorest developing countries;

134. Considers that these rules must be drafted in close collaboration with international
bodies for the protection of intellectual property such as WIPO, with special consideration being
shown for the interests of the developing countries and indigenous peoples;

12. 11.90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/165

Thursday, 11 October 1990

135. In view of the progress made in the various UN agencies with regard to the TRIPs
(UNESCO, FAO, UNEP, WIPO) on farmers' rights, informal innovation systems and the
international convention on folklore, and in order to compensate the Third World communities
for their work in developing genetic resources and to recognize and protect the 'knowledge of the
common people', presses for linking the GATT negotiations with these abovementioned UN
agencies to allow the Third World to re-integrate development interests into the negotiations on
Intellectual Property Rights and to broaden the focus on intellectual property to include both the
obligation of the monopoly rights holders and the alternative rights of the innovators;

_(I)_ _Trade-related_ _investment measures_

136. Insists on the continued right of countries to place specific conditions on onward
investments as regards, for example, local content, domestic sales, local equity, exports, technology, remittances and exchange rates, bearing in mind the development success of such
policies in Japan and elsewhere;

137. Considers that for investment, as for trade, stable and open rules which include provisions allowing for the exercise of public policy priorities are essential for the flow of investment
funds to work to the benefit or all GATT member countries;

138. Considers that, with regard to the efforts of industrialized countries to draw up rules for
trade-related investment measures, developing countries must be given specific opportunity to
conduct their own independent investment policies; the least developed countries should have
the right to non-reciprocity and in a strengthened GATT system the needs of infant industries
must be recognized;

_(m) Trade in_ _services_

139. Welcomes all attempts to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of GATT, and above
all the reform of the arbitration procedure;

140. Welcomes the readiness of all signatories to lay down multilateral rules for the trade in
services, which has gained in importance in recent years;

141. Advocates the negotiation of a framework agreement governing the trade in services
along the lines of the principles governing trade in goods: most-favoured nation status, nondiscrimination and transparency; stresses the. need for an exhaustive definition of services and
comprehensive rules in the framework agreement which do not omit any sector and introduce
definite rules for the establishment of business and freedom of movement on the basis of
equivalence of interests between industrialized and developing countries;

142. Emphasizes, in this connection, the particular importance of market access and
demands that all signatories enter into firm undertakings with regard to the step-by-step liberalization of markets in services, on the basis of their existing laws;

143. Expressly recognizes that the developing countries must be given the opportunity, as part
of their national development programmes, to develop an independent service sector and that
for this purpose they must be allowed adequate transitional periods;

144. Calls on the Commission to ensure that, in talks on the global reciprocity of market
access concessions, Community companies supplying services in third markets are granted the
same favourable conditions enjoyed by suppliers from third countries in the Community;

145. Points to the importance of establishing undertakings in third countries for the international exchange of services and expects principles for drafting relevant provisions for individual
signatories to be laid down in the framework agreement to be negotiated;

No C 284/166 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

146. Considers the free exchange of labour and labour-related services to be as important as
that of capital and technology-related services, and reminds negotiators of the asymmetry of a
situation where the movement of developed countries' citizens across national boundaries to
produce and deliver services to consumers is generally described as trade in services, while
comparable movements by developing countries' citizens are described as immigration and
subjected to severe unilateral restrictions;

147. Points out to the developing countries, in particular, the importance of an efficient
service sector to their economic development and calls on them to accede in large numbers to the
framework agreement to be negotiated; however, the developing countries should be entitled to
monitor the activities of multinational enterprises on their territory, particularly in the areas of
communications, banking, computing and transport;

148. Expects sectoral agreements taking into account the peculiarities of the different sectors
to be negotiated for the individual service sectors on the basis of the framework agreement
concluded on termination of the Uruguay Round;

IV. Final remarks

149. Calls on the Council of Ministers to consult the European Parliament prior to the final
signature of the agreements concluded within the framework of the Uruguay Round, thus
honouring the commitments contained in the Solemn Declaration on European Union made in
Stuttgart in 1983 and respecting the procedure set out in Rule 34 of Parliament's Rules of
Procedure;

150. Reserves the right formally to ratify agreements reached during the Uruguay Round in
view of the imminent strengthening of the European Parliament's powers, particularly in the
area of external relations, which will be the subject of the governmental conference scheduled for
the end of the year; insists that the Commission and the Council respect the jurisprudence of the
Court of Justice, particularly with regard to the hormones judgment, when designating the legal
bases of all Community instruments necessary for implementing any GATT agreement resulting
from the Uruguay Round negotiations;

151. Insists that the European Parliament be represented by a parliamentary delegation at the
ministerial conference to round off the Uruguay Round in Brussels in December 1990, as was
the case at the mid-term review in Montreal, and requests the Council of Ministers and the
Commission to take the necessary steps to this end;

152. Calls on the Commission, on conclusion of the Uruguay Round, to submit proposals for
the substantive and institutional development of GATT; urges the Commission however, to
submit proposals in the near future, including, in particular, minimum standards for the legal
protection of employees (social clauses), on the basis of the guidelines drawn up by the International Labour Organization and, to this end, calls for the establishment of a GATT and ILO
advisory committee;

153. Calls for the GATT Working Party on measures concerning the environment and
international trade, set up in 1972, finally to be convened with a view to preparing a special
GATT code on the international trade measures necessary for the protection of the world's
environment;

154. Welcomes the recent agreement on CFCs, whereby the developed countries will contribute financially to help developing countries meet high global environment standards; and sees
this agreement as a precedent for other trade-related environment measures to be dealt with by
GATT;

155. Calls for negotiations on multilateral rules on minimum environmental protection
standards, to be complied with by the signatories as part of their trading activity, to take place
following the successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round; draws the attention of the signatories
to 'environmental dumping' in particular, which is a means of gaining an advantage on international markets by ignoring the devastating impact of such practices at the production stage;
with regard to environmental protection in particular, calls for a monitoring clause for those
provisions in the final agreement which have significant environmental consequences;

I^IL^O Gfficial journal of the European Gommunities ^loG^^B167

156. Galls on the Brussels conference ofministers concluding the Uruguay Round to deliver
an interpretative note on Article XIX of GATT for the purposes of environmental protections

157. Instructs is president to forward this resolution to the Gouncil and Gommission, the
governments of the Member States,theGATTsecretariat and the ministers of the contracting
parties meeting in Brussels tor the concluding conference.

RESOLUTION

on oil prices

_The European Parliament,_

A. having regard to its resolution of 12 September 1990 (') condemning the brutal annexation
of Kuwait by the Iraqi military invasion,

B. gravely disturbed by the numerous reports of torture and summary executions inflicted on
Kuwaitis by the Iraqi occupying forces, the systematic plundering of the properties of the
inhabitants of Kuwait and the fact that diplomatic and press sources have estimated that
approximately one-half of the citizens of Kuwait have fled the country,

C. reiterating its concern over the situation of the foreign hostages detained in Iraq and Kuwait
and the thousands of refugees who have been obliged to leave the Gulf region,

D. whereas the Gulf crisis, as well as representing a threat to world peace, implies serious
economic consequences, especially for the developing countries, in particular the leastdeveloped countries, and for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe,

E. whereas the situation in the Gulf, the worldwide embargo on Iraqi oil and speculation are
considerably increasing the price of oil on the world markets,

F. aware that the rising trend of the prices in crude oil and oil products poses a threat to the
already fragile economies of the developing countries,

G. whereas unless additional resources are allocated to offset the continual rise in energy costs
the economic diversification programmes of the ACP countries will be under threat, especially in the areas of local processing, marketing, distribution and raw material transport,
leading to further deterioration in their economic and social situation,

H. having regard to the recent IMF and World Bank discussions on debt cancellation and
restructuring,

I. recalling and endorsing the resolution on this subject passed by the ACP-EEC Assembly in
Luxembourg on 27 September 1990,

J. aware that considerable hardship will result to Community citizens who become unemployed as a result of the cancellation of contracts with Iraq worth millions of ecus including
the undertaking of Howden and Babcocks at Renfrew, NEI Parsons at Heaton and ANSALDO of Milan,

K. whereas these cases represent the tip of the iceberg of hardship for Community citizens and
regions of the Community,

1. Reiterates its condemnation of the invasion and annexation of the independent nation of
Kuwait by the armed forces of the dictator Saddam Hussein; supports the decisions of the
United Nations and condemns all human rights violations committed by the Iraqi occupation
troops;

2. Condemns the summary and extrajudicial executions and torture perpetrated by the Iraqi
armed forces, deplores the introduction of the death penalty for persons found guilty of sheltering Westerners or of plundering or hoarding food for speculative purposes and calls on the
Foreign Ministers meeting in European Political Cooperation to make clear to the Iraqi Revolutionary Command Council that they are responsible for the crimes carried out by the Iraqi
occupying forces in Kuwait;

RESOLUTION

on the implementation of the budget of the European Communities for the 1990 financial year

(Notenboom Procedure)

_The European Parliament,_

A. having regard to the Commission's statement in reply to Oral Question B3-1505/90 on the
implementation of the European Communities' budget for the 1990 financial year,

B. having regard to the data contained in the report on the implementation of the budget of the
European Communities as at 31 August 1990 (SEC(90) 1857),

No C 284/192 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Friday, 12 October 1990

1. As regards overall implementation of the budget:

(a) Notes that, according to current Commission forecasts of utilization of appropriations by 31
December 1990, lines amended by Parliament are likely to be more fully implemented than
in 1989;

(b) Notes with concern, however, that the amount of outstanding commitments ('cost of the
past') is on the increase, and that a substantial number of commitments from earlier years
continues to be cancelled, notably under the ERDF and the ESF;

2. Draws attention to the lack of adequate management and control procedures in respect of
application of Community law to the Eastern part of Germany following German unification on
3 October 1990;

3. As regards implementation of Community policies:

(a) Expresses concern at the poor management of the agricultural 'early warning system':
although substantial overall savings are expected in the agricultural sector, thanks largely to
favourable circumstances outside the Community, spending under certain chapters (notably
tobacco, milk and milk products) continues to run in excess of the relevant expenditure
profiles and for another chapter (beef and veal) is forecast to do so, thus leading to a
substantial growth in stocks to disquieting levels;

(b) Deplores the lack of transparency resulting from the Commission's failure to comply fully
with the remarks against the budget headings relating to the structural funds which required
the Commission to indicate to the budgetary authority, not later than the end of June 1990,
and for each of the funds, not only how fund appropriations will be apportioned by
framework programme objective, but also what contributions will be made from the fund to
the various financing plans laid down for Community support frameworks;

(c) Notes that a number of priority sectors within categories 2, 3 and 4 of the Financial
Perspective such as the environment, drug abuse, transport, employment, the Integrated
Mediterranean Programmes (IMPs), research and cooperation with Asian and Latin American developing countries are registering significant delays in implementatiton which threaten to hinder achievement of their objectives and to result in cancellation of substantial
amounts of appropriations;

(d) Expresses particular concern at the shortcomings of existing arrangements for providing aid
to victims of disasters, both within and outside the Community, as revealed most notably in
connection with the Gulf crisis;

(e) Also draws particular attention to the lack of adequate arangements for monitoring the use
of Community funds in Central and Eastern Europe;

4. Calls on the Commission to adopt appropriate measures to rectify these shortcomings and
improve monitoring of Community policies, in particular:

(a) by making more use of its management powers under the agricultural 'early warning system'
in such a way that stabilizing measures are adopted and produce the necessary reduction in
expenditure during the financial year in question, as required by Article 6 of the decision of
24 June 1988 jconcerning budgetary discipline;

(b) by submitting communications on implementation of each of the structural funds in the
form specified in the remarks against the relevant budget headings, at least 14 days before
the second reading of the budget;

(c) by making good any delays in implementation, especially of lines within categories 2, 3 and
4 and of those relating to the fight against fraud, or by immediately submitting to the
budgetary authority proposals for transfers designed to restore balance between budget
headings and to avoid cancellation of appropriations;

(d) by proposing to the budgetary authority a means to provide a contingency reserve to cover
emergency needs for which there is no budgetary provision in such a manner as^ not to
prejudice implementation of lines amended by Parliament or Parliament's budgetary prerogatives generally;

12. 11. 90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 284/193

Friday, 12 October 1990

(e) by taking all necessary steps to lay down satisfactory management and control procedures
regarding both the application of Community law in the Eastern part of Germany and the
use of Community funds in Central and Eastern Europe;

(f) by presenting, as soon as possible, an account of all negative expenditure entered in the
budget;

5. Appreciates the initiative of its Committee on Budgetary Control of compiling quarterly
tables for the benefit of each spending committee showing implementation of the budget lines
falling within their remit, and instructs its committees to pursue and intensify their scrutiny of
the implementation of budget headings in their respective areas of competence;

6. Requests its Committee on Budgetary Control to define with precision the procedure to be
followed in respect of the Notenboom Procedure;

7. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission, the Council and for
information, the Court of Auditors.
