                        Proposal for a
                  COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
          on financial and technical assistance to
        and economic cooperation with the developing
             countries in Asia and Latin America

                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. There are two main channels of cooperation between the Community and the
   developing countries in Asia and Latin America:
   (i) financial and technical assistance, and
   (ii) economic cooperation.
   Financial and technical assistance, which began in 1976, is the main
    instrument of development cooperation.     The objectives of such aid and
   the rules for     its administration are at present governed by Council
   Regulation (EEC) No 442/81.
   Economic cooperation, which was introduced more recently, comprises a
   number   of  different   instruments  (promotion of exports and   European
   investments, training, cooperation in the fields of industry, energy,
   science   and   technology).   It  is  relatively  heterogeneous,  involves
   rather small sums and, so far, has not been governed by legislation.
2. In view of the profound changes which the developing countries concerned
   and the Community itself have undergone since such cooperation began,
   the Council and Parliament have asked the Commission to propose new
   long-term guidelines for adapting Community policy to the new situation
   and increasing its effectiveness.
3. In June 1990 the Commission produced such a paper, 1 on the basis of
   which, in December 1990, the Council adopted conclusions on the general
   guidelines for Community cooperation with the developing countries in
   Asia and Latin America (ALA) over the next decade.
   In the light of these conclusions and in response to Parliament's desire
   that the legal basis of Community cooperation be adjusted in line with
   the new situation and so as to make such cooperation more effective and
   more transparent, the Commission undertook to present a new Regulation
   on cooperation policy.
 ---pagebreak---                                           - 3 -
4. This new Regulation has been drafted so as to enable all financial and
   technical assistance and economic cooperation to take place within the
   guidelines proposed by the Commission.1
    In short, the new guidelines cover the following:
   4.1 Greater attention to the question of human rights and democracy.
        The  aim   of    cooperation      is  human   development.    Accordingly,   its
        implementation requires the participation of both women and men.
        Furthermore, respect for human rights is recognized as fundamental
        to genuine     development,      in which    cooperation    itself  is seen   as
        contributing to the promotion of such rights.
        With  this    in view, development        policy  and cooperation     take  into
        consideration      respect    for,   and   enjoyment   of,   fundamental   human
        rights    and     freedoms     and    democratic     principles.   Accordingly,
        increased Community support should be provided for those countries
        which are most committed to those principles and in particular for
        practical    initiatives      taken   to   apply  such   principles    in  those
        countries.     Where     human     rights    are   violated    and   democratic
        principles not respected, the Community may alter               its cooperation
        strategy   by     limiting    cooperation     to  only   those   schemes   which
        directly benefit needy sections of the population.
   4.2 The    need      to   ensure     that     environmental     considerations    are
        systematically taken into account in all aid and cooperation schemes
        and that a significant proportion - not             less than 10% - of total
        resources is set aside to finance specific projects in the field of
        environmental protection.
        Cooperation on the environment with the ALA developing countries is
        essential since problems which relate specifically to the developing
        countries   (such     as   the  protection     of  tropical   rainforests)   are
        matters of global concern, and since these countries clearly need
        technical support in handling problems relating to both the natural
        and the urban and industrial environment.

4.3 Financial and technical assistance must not only be continued and
    strengthened but also be better adapted to national and local needs.
    This   form of    aid must   continue as     in the past     to be    directed
    primarily at improving the living conditions of the least-favoured
    strata of society in the poorest countries, but may be extended, in
    some cases, to the relatively more advanced countries.
    Financial and technical assistance constitutes the main             instrument
    of Community     development   aid, which also      includes food aid, the
    export    earnings     stabilization     mechanism,      opportunities      for
    co-financing    operations undertaken      by  European    NGOs   and   various
    types of emergency and humanitarian aid, which should be coordinated
    and, where necessary, combined.
    In general, development aid        is the expression of the Community's
    support    for   the  ALA  developing    countries,     which    face  serious
    problems     (population     growth,    mass    poverty,      financial     and
    environmental difficulties), for which they alone cannot muster all
    the necessary resources and know-how.
    Within the range of development instruments, financial and technical
    assistance aims to transfer funds and to target know-how on specific
    operations (projects or programmes of a variety of types) with a
    view to solving general or sectoral problems or undertaking pilot
    schemes aimed at developing new strategies.
    Financial and technical assistance continues to give priority to the
    rural   sector since most of      the population     in the ALA developing
    countries    belongs   to  this   sector   and   the   Community    has   solid
    experience in such matters.
    Consideration must also be given to other fields of action such as
    regional    cooperation,   the   structural    dimension    of    development,
    natural    disasters,   etc.   When   schemes   are   drawn   up,   particular
    attention must      be given   to aspects such      as  the   role of    women,
    problems relating to population growth, the fight              against drugs,
    etc.

4.4 Substantially   reinforced, well      structured    and   efficient   economic
    cooperation must be the second channel of cooperation with the ALA
    developing countries.
    The fact is that cooperation with these countries, and particularly
    the more advanced of them, cannot be limited to aid but must help
    them make the most of       the prospects opened up by the growth of
    international    trade,   and   in  particular    by   the   European   single
    market.
    At the same time it must help European businessmen, technology and
    know-how to play an      increasingly active part       in these countries,
    thereby enabling the Community       to benefit     in the medium and     long
    term from the economic and commercial, technological             and cultural
    expansion of these high-potential countries.           Finally, it will act
    as a catalyst     to promote the transfer of European           businessmen's
    resources   (capital,   technology,    know-how   and marketing      networks)
    under market conditions to the ALA developing countries.
    Of necessity, economic cooperation makes use of a wide range of
    instruments, some of which        are covered    by   separate    legislation,
    either   because   of   their    links   with   other    Community    policies
    (research, energy, telecommunications) or because of their specific,
    horizontal nature (EC— M P ) .
    The purpose of this latter instrument is more particularly to enable
    the Community   to promote joint ventures, thus helping to             promote
    European investment in the ALA developing countries, which is one of
    the desired results of economic cooperation.
    All these instruments of economic cooperation must be integrated and
    coordinated   with    financial    and   technical     assistance.    Economic
    cooperation   may    also   be   directed     towards    promoting    regional
    coopérât ion.
 ---pagebreak---    4.5 In view of the new aid components described above and the May 1990
       revision of financial perspectives, the budgetary resources for aid
       and cooperation have been increased.
       This  increase will     be made within       the framework       of   a  five-year
       perspective for 1991-95 for the whole range of resources entered in
       the Budget under the heading of cooperation with the Asian and Latin
       American  developing    countries     (Chapter B7-30)       in order    to enable
       indicative   medium-term     planning    for   aid    and    cooperation    to   be
       undertaken.    The   relevant    indicative     figures      are   shown   in   the
       attached financial statement.
5. This renewal of Community cooperation policy means that its implementing
   procedures must be adjusted.
   5.1 Increasing   dialogue     is   the   means    whereby      the   priorities     for
       Community   'backing   for    each   country     can    be    established.     This
       dialogue will principally take place in the Joint Committees for ALA
       developing   countries    which    have   Coopérât ion Agreements        with   the
       Community, and it primarily concerns the general guidelines, and the
       objectives   and   priorities,     notably    sectoral,      to   which   aid   and
       cooperation could contribute.        It will be based on the assessment of
       each country's specific needs and the identification of all types of
       cooperation schemes most suitable for financing.
   5.2 Wherever possible, thanks to the multiannual financial framework for
       Community cooperation with the ALA developing countries, multiannual
       programming on the basis of objectives will be undertaken for each
       country and where appropriate by region.             This programming - which
       will be of an indicative nature - is to help increase the impact of
       Community   operations    on   the   general    policies      of   the   countries
       concerned.    It will   take account of the possible             contribution of
       other aid and cooperation instruments.
 ---pagebreak---                                  - 7 -
5.3 Resources will   be allocated and schemes chosen for financial       and
    technical cooperation by reference to:
    - the income levels and needs of the various countries;
    - the intrinsic value of operations in terms of development and
      their contribution to healthy, realistic macroeconomic policies;
    - the possibility of arousing the country's interest and/or
      mobilizing additional resources to assist certain sectors;
    - participation by the local population.
    For economic cooperation, schemes will be identified and chosen by
    reference to the initiatives and interests of the operators directly
    concerned.
5.4 Community   assistance  will   cover   individual   operations,  clearly
    defined   in terms of objectives     to be attained    and means  to be
    deployed, notably projects and programmes and        including, wherever
    feasible, integrated projects and sectoral programmes.
5.5 All  instruments of Community    cooperation, whether    in the form of
    financial and technical assistance or economic cooperation or other
    types of cooperation, should be carefully       integrated so that they
    work together with maximum efficiency.     Integration should be sought
    not only in overall planning of cooperation on a country-by-country
    basis but also when each project or programme is prepared.
Integration of instruments particularly applies to food aid and Stabex
counterpart funds.
    As much benefit as possible should also be drawn from the experience
    of European NGOs, notably in connection with the numerous projects
    co-financed with the Community.
5.6 Coordination with other aid instruments should also be stepped up,
    particularly with the bilateral aid provided by the Member States;
    this would, furthermore, reinforce the European presence.
 ---pagebreak---                                         - 8 -
       Co-financing    is the closest possible form of coordination and thus
       deserves     particular     attention     but    at   the    same   time    the
       decision-making process and execution need to be made much less slow
       and cumbersome - the result of the number of decision-makers and the
       particular rules governing each of them.
6. In view   of   these    guidelines,    the  implementation    of   this   renewed
   Community   cooperation     policy    involves    a  substantial    revision   of
   existing legislation.
   This legislation must therefore be adapted to take account of the new
   priorities   for    financial    and   technical    cooperation    and  must   be
   supplemented by new administrative rules and provisions which, for the
   first time, will govern economic cooperation in respect of all those
   instruments which have no separate legal basis.
7. Accordingly, the Commission hereby presents to the Council               and the
   Parliament, for adoption as soon as possible, the attached proposal
   for a new Regulation to replace Regulation (EEC) No 442/81 in respect
   of  financial   and   technical   cooperation and to extend        the scope to
   economic cooperation.

                              COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
                     on financial and technical assistance to
                  and economic cooperation with the developing
                        countries in Asia and Latin America
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposals from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas, since 1976, the Community has been pursuing a policy of financial
and   technical    cooperation   with    the   developing    countries    in   Asia   and
Latin America and has,       in more recent      times, also embarked      on economic
cooperation with those countries;          whereas these forms of cooperation are
part of an overall policy of cooperation with the developing countries as a
whole which     includes expansion      of  their   trade by    integration     into  the
multilateral trade system, by appropriate measures to be taken within the
relevant   international organizations and by specific measures such as the
Community system of generalized preferences;
Whereas   the   current   process    of   European   construction    and   the    growing
influence of the Community worldwide justify the continuation of mutually
advantageous economic cooperation with, and Community development aid to,
the developing countries in Asia and Latin America, the extension of such
policies to other countries or economic sectors, increased financing for
such   policies   and   efforts   to ensure     that   they  are   better   adapted    to
national and local needs within each region;
Whereas the European Council        has on a number of occasions confirmed            the
Community's political will to reinforce its cooperation with regions of the
world where the level of development is still insufficient and to do so via
an   increased,   coordinated   and multi-faceted       effort  on   the part     of  the
Community and its Member States;
 ---pagebreak---                                          - 10 -
Whereas the European Parliament          has examined     the matter    in detail on a
number of occasions and has called for such reinforced cooperation and for
a revision of present legislation in order to ensure greater efficiency and
 increased transparency;
Whereas   the Council     has adopted conclusions supporting           the   Commission's
suggested     long-term guidelines      for such cooperation with         regard  to the
priorities and sectors for consideration and the desirability of increasing
the   resources      to  be  allocated     to   them   and   of   enabling     indicative
medium-term programming for those resources to be undertaken;
Whereas    both     the  Council    and   European    Parliament,    while     confirming
traditional fields of action, have identified new priorities relating, in
particular, to the environment, the human dimension of development and the
need for economic cooperation to take place in the mutual               interest of the
Community and its partner countries;
Whereas the rules governing the administration of financial and technical
assistance to, and economic cooperation with, the Asian and Latin American
developing countries should be established;
Whereas    it   is   therefore   necessary    to  repeal    Council   Regulation     (EEC)
No 442/81    of   17 February     1981  on  financial    and   technical    aid  to non-
associated developing countries, 1 and to replace it with this Regulation;
Whereas   the Treaty does not provide specific powers of action                  for   the
adoption of this Regulation other than those contained in Article 235,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                        Article 1
The Community      shall continue and broaden Community          cooperation with      the
developing countries in Asia and Latin America, not being signatories to
the Lomé Convention       and not benefiting       from   the Community's      policy of
cooperation with the Mediterranean region, hereinafter referred to as "ALA
developing     countries".    This    cooperation    shall     involve   financial     and
1   OJ No L 48, 21.2.1981, p. 8.
 ---pagebreak---                                       - 11 -
technical    development   assistance   and   economic   cooperation.   In  this
connection the Community attaches the utmost importance to promoting human
rights,   freedom  of   trade  and of   cultural  exchanges   and  environmental
protection, by means of an increasing dialogue on political, economic and
social issues within a perspective of mutual interest.
                                    Article 2
All   the ALA   developing  countries shall    be eligible   for  financial  and
technical assistance and economic cooperation.
The recipients of aid and partners        in cooperation can   include not only
States and regions but decentralized authorities, public agencies, local or
traditional    communities,   private   institutes   and  operators,   including
cooperatives and non-governmental organizations.
                       Financial and Technical Assistance
                                    Article 3
The principal aim of financial and technical assistance shall be to improve
the   living standards of the neediest sections of the population and to
implement measures in areas where domestic resources are hard to mobilize
but which are of strategic      importance either for the development of the
countries concerned or for the international community as a whole.
 It shall be targeted primarily on the poorest ALA developing countries.
                                    Article 4
Financial and technical assistance shall give priority to developing the
rural sector and improving the level of food security.
 ---pagebreak---                                       - 12 -
Furthermore, consideration shall be given in all operations to protecting
the   environment   and    natural  resources,    to  the   human   dimension   of
development, notably     the role of women, to the problems of          population
growth   and  to matters    concerning  the   relations  between   towns  and  the
countryside.
A significant proportion of the aid shall be set aside for projects more
specifically aimed at environmental protection.
Aid may also take the form of action to fight drugs, to improve             living
conditions in large cities, and to contribute to the structural dimension
of development.
Part of the aid may be used for rehabilitation and reconstruction following
disasters of all kinds and for preventive measures.
Regional   cooperation   among developing    countries shall    be considered   an
important area for financial and technical cooperation, particularly in the
fol lowing fields:
-   cooperation on the environment;
-   the development of intra-regional trade;
-   the strengthening of regional institutions;
-   support  for  integration and the establishment of        joint  policies and
    activities among developing countries;
-   communications,    particularly    as   regards   standards,    networks   and
    services, including telecommunications;
-   research and training connected with development;
-   cooperation in the sphere of energy.
                                    Article 5
Financial and technical assistance may be extended to the relatively more
advanced countries of Asia and Latin America in specific fields or in cases
where Community action is taken in response to disasters or implements new
operations or policies which are essential         at regional or    international
level in the following sectors:
 ---pagebreak---                                          - 13 -
   drugs;
   the environment and natural resources;
   the strengthening of institutions;
   pilot  schemes   to help particularly under-privileged             sections of     the
   population;
   regional cooperation.
                                E conom i c Coope ration
                                       Article 6
Economic   cooperation    shall    contribute     to   the   development    of   the  ALA
developing countries by helping them make the most of the prospects opened
up by the growth of international trade and by the European single market,
and by enhancing the role of European businessmen, technology and know-how.
Economic cooperation shall be aimed in particular to supporting countries
pursuing macroeconomic and sectoral policies open to trade and investment
and conducive to technology transfers, notably by ensuring the protection
of industrial and intellectual property rights.
                                       Article 7
Economic cooperation shall include three sectors:
1. Improvement   of    scientific     and    technological     potential    and   of  the
   economic,   social    and  cultural      environment     in  general    by   means  of
   training schemes and the transfer of know-how.                It shall be directed
   chiefly   at executives, economic decision-makers and              instructors, and
   shall   cover  all   economic,     scientific     and   technical   fields    and,  in
   particular energy, industrial and urban ecology and services technology.
2. Improvement   of   the   institutional      structure,    in order    to render    the
   legislative,    administrative       and   social    climate    more   conducive    to
   development.
 ---pagebreak---                                         - 14 -
3. Support for undertakings, for example by means of training and technical
    assistance    schemes, by     the establishment of     direct   contacts   between
    undertakings     and  by   schemes   to facilitate   access   to bigger    markets
    without prejudice to the specific provisions on joint ventures laid down
    by Council Regulation (EEC) No ... [on EC 11P].*
Regional cooperation must be regarded as an important sector for economic
cooperation, in particular:
-   cooperation on industrial and urban ecology;
-    intra-regional trade;
-   regional institutions for economic integration;
-   regional policies;

individual operations or separately.

by case, to other developing countries.
In exceptional cases which are duly justified, other countries of origin
may be allowed for specific components.
