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

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

Bureau);

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.

Parliament agreed to this.

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,

RESOLUTION

on the massacre in Jerusalem and Israeli repression

_The European Parliament,_

A. deeply shocked at the massacre of more than 20 Palestinians committed by the Israeli army
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;

No C 284/126 Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 11.90

Thursday, 11 October 1990

6 Reaffirms the need for an international peace conference to be held in the Middle East,
including all the parties involved, guaranteeing the security and inviolability of the frontiers of
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);

9. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the
Government of Israel.

children in orphanages,

B. having regard to its resolution of 17 May 1990 on the situation of children in Romanian
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,

G. alarmed at the infant mortality rate in Romania, which in some cases exceeds 50%, and the
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,

I. noting that the European Community has given ECU 11,5 million in emergency aid to
Romania since the fall of the Ceausescu dictatorship in December 1989,

Thursday, 11 October 1990

1. Calls on the Commission to finalize the emergency programme as a matter of urgency, in
cooperation with the Romanian authorities, to ensure that the orphanages are renovated as soon
as possible, receive the help of qualified staff and are supplied with suitable equipment; calls on
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
doctors and those working in the field in Romania and those in the Community in order to
provide the former with the necessary knowledge to deal with the situation, and calls on the
Commission to finance relevant programmes which would also involve the NGOs operating in
Romania;

3. Calls on the Romanian authorities to show that they intend to treat this as a priority matter
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
creditor of that country and could expect large supplies of oil, and it therefore has the right to
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;

8. Calls on the Commission and Council in particular, when the trade and cooperation
agreement is being signed, to take into account the actual efforts made and determination shown
by the Romanian authorities to act on this matter;

9. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the
Romanian Government and the NGOs working in Romania.

B. whereas this conflict is the result of the internal situation in Rwanda and the problem of
Tutsi refugees scattered throughout various Central African countries, particularly Uganda,

C. having regard to the economic context in which this new crisis affecting an African country
is taking place, in particular the plummeting price of coffee, which is virtually the only
resource which Rwanda possesses,

D. mindful of the huge restrictions already hindering future development in East Africa, due,
inter alia, to external debt and the recent Gulf crisis, which has led to a considerable rise in
the price of crude oil,

E. convinced that regional cooperation respecting the sovereignty of each of the states and
based on humanitarian development, will play an increasingly decisive role in remedying
under-development,

Member States, in particular by virtue of the Lome Convention,

future development of Rwanda and of the whole of East Africa;

2. Hopes that the conflict can be resolved by Africans themselves, for example within the
framework of the OAU;

3. Calls on the Council to support any initiative aimed at negotiation and reconciliation
between the ethnic groups in conditions which guarantee equal treatment for all members of
society;

4. Calls for a climate of openness and pluralism as a necessary prerequisite for a national
debate on reconciliation in Rwanda;

5. Welcomes the rapid reaction of the French and Belgian Governments and their decision to
limit Belgian and French military intervention to strictly humanitarian purposes and for the
purposes of protecting or repatriating their nationals;

6. Urges that this mission should in no way be used for anything other than this specific goal
and should be of short duration;

7. Expresses deep concern at the climate of mistrust and fear and the arbitrary justice

and the murder of political opponents and all suspects, which would jeopardize for a long time to
come the chances of a negotiated settlement to this recurrent conflict;

8. Calls on the Rwandan Government to commute the many death sentences still pending, to
reduce the number of crimes punishable by death and to ensure that all accused persons have the
right to be defended in court;

combat zones or taking refuge in neighbouring countries;

hostage taking,

F. supporting the decisions of Western governments not to accede to the blackmail of hostage
taking,

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

of freedom of innocent victims in order to advance a cause which is ultimately done a disservice
by actions of this kind;

2. Launches an urgent appeal, on the basis of humanitarian considerations, to all the governments and political organizations concerned to take all possible steps to obtain the release of the

RESOLUTION

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
violations of human rights, to numerous murders and to the arrest, on 21 September 1990,
of six former members of the provincial government, including the ex-Prime Minister, Jusuf
Zejnulahu, and the ex-Interior Minister,

B. dismayed at the dissolution of the region's autonomous assembly by the authorities of the

and nurses of Albanian origin and the dismissal of more than 11 000 other workers, also for
ethnic reasons,

C. having regard to the reinforcement of the special civilian and military units,

D. having regard to the expulsion from Kosovo, on 29 August 1990, of members of the

holding of free and democratic elections in the Republic next December and of the forthcoming Federal elections in January 1991,

now or may give itself in the future,

1. Condemns all the violations of human rights and civil rights in Kosovo by the Serbian
authorities;

2. Calls on the Serbian authorities:

of newspaper offices and regional radio and television stations in accordance with respect for
freedom of information and opinion;

4. Requests that the forthcoming elections be held with the provision of all guarantees
regarding freedom and democracy; considers that a special effort is required on the part of the
Serbian authorities and the forces representing the Albanian population of Kosovo to bring
about a truce in order to allow elections to be held in a regular manner; also considers that a
dialogue should be initiated and a reasonable compromise found regarding the problems of the
region's autonomy and the rights of and guarantees for the ethnic groups living together within

— 4 people from Sabah, arrested under the Internal Security Act (ISA), for allegedly taking
part in a secessionist plot,

— 3 members of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), also arrested under the ISA, for
demonstrating against the imposition of road tolls,

detention procedures, rather than bringing the accused for trial before an open court,

C. recalling its earlier Resolutions against the use of such arbitrary procedures, such as those of
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
due process of law;

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

to court or released;

3. Welcomes the release of the Sarawak tribals, as well as the DAP demonstrators;

4. Calls on the Government of Malaysia to respect native customary law;

5. Considers that, in order to avoid further such abuse, arbitrary legal instruments such as the

6. Instructs its President to forward this Resolution to the Council, the Commission, and to

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

— having regard to the report by the Committee on Social Affairs, Employment and the

(a) Joint resolution replacing B3-1357, 1358, 1361, 1364, 1365 and 1366/90

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,
and, in consequence of the above, to review and update the sections of the inter-institutional
agreements on the budget relating to the structural funds;

4. Lay down guidelines for the Community's new regional policy strategy after 1992;

5. Propose functions and aid which could be the subject of cooperation between national
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;

10. State clearly the modifications which it will propose to the Treaty in order to incorporate
the cohesion dimension in achieving economic and monetary union;

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.

C. concerned by some of the social consequences of market-oriented economic reforms, notably a decline in real incomes and a rapid increase in unemployment,

D. gravely concerned by the severity of hard currency debt problems faced by several countries

prices,

E. conscious of the need for currency convertibility throughout the region, and especially in the
USSR,

1. Calls on the Commission to implement the cooperation agreements with the USSR and the
countries of Central and Eastern Europe as soon as possible;

2. Calls upon the Commission to pursue the following priorities in its economic cooperation
with Central and Eastern Europe:

— the rapid modernization of the economic and social infrastructure,

— the need to support the balance of payments and to ensure adequate oil and gas supplies
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;

6. Calls on the Soviet Union to tackle its economic problems rapidly through an appropriate
but accelerated programme of economic reform;

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

8. Calls on the Commission to conclude the 'European Association Agreements' as soon as
possible; according to Article 238 of the Treaty, the Council and the Commission consistently,
necessarily and constantly should involve Parliament in the process;

9. Takes the view that 'European Association Agreements' should not prejudice any future
enlargement of the European Community;

negotiations with Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary;

2. Holds the view that the sooner these three countries conclude a European agreement with
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;

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,

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;

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;

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;
