Комисията по развитие приканва водещата комисия по международна търговия да включи в доклада си следните изменения:
The Committee on Development calls on the Committee on International Trade, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following amendments in its report:
Съображение 2 а (ново)
Recital 2a (new)
(2а) Главната цел на политиката за развитие на ЕС и, следователно, на системата ОСП е да се допринесе – чрез повишената диверсификация на икономиките на развиващите се страни и засиленото им участие в световната търговия - за постигането на Целите на хилядолетието за развитие, премахване на бедността, насърчаване на устойчивото развитие и доброто управление в развиващите се страни.
(2a) The chief objective of EU development policy and, therefore, of the GSP scheme is to contribute - through a greater diversification of the economies of developing countries and their increased participation in global trade - to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, eradication of poverty, promotion of sustainable development and good governance in developing countries.
It should be specifically underlined at the beginning of the new regulation that the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the reduction of poverty are the chief objective of EU development policy and, therefore, also of the new GSP regulation.
It should be specifically underlined at the beginning of the new regulation that the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the reduction of poverty are the chief objective of EU development policy and, therefore, also of the new GSP regulation.
(5a) За да се повиши степента на използване на ОСП и да се предостави възможност на развиващите се страни да извличат ползи от международната търговия и преференциалните режими, ЕС следва да полага усилия, насочени към осигуряване на адекватна техническа помощ за тези държави, и по-специално за най-слабо развитите страни.
(5a) In order to increase the GSP utilisation rate and to allow developing countries to capture the benefits of international trade and preferential arrangements, the EU should strive to provide these countries, and in particular the least-developed countries, with adequate technical assistance.
The utilisation rate of the GSP scheme has been increased, but still the developing countries are not able to benefit fully from the possibilities given through the GSP scheme.

(21a) Правилата за произход следва да бъдат преразгледани, за да се вземе под внимание междурегионалното и глобално кумулиране, както и възможността дадена държава да отговаря на условията за преференциално третиране по ОСП, ОСП+ и Всичко освен оръжие (ВОО), дори тя да не е крайна дестинация на износа, при условие че в тази държава към стоките е добавена значителна стойност.
(21a) The rules of origin should be revised to take into account cross-regional and global cumulation and the possibility for a country to be eligible for GSP, GSP+ and Everything But Arms (EBA) preferential treatment even if it is not the end recipient for the exports, provided that significant value is added to the goods in that country.
При това преразглеждане следва също така да се премахне изискването за двойна преработка на някои стоки.
When such revision is carried out, the requirement for double processing in the case of certain products should be abolished.

(21б) Приоритетна цел на Комисията в рамките на Световната търговска организация следва да бъде постигането на споразумение за хармонизиране на правилата за произход, които установяват преференциално третиране за развиващите се страни и за най-слабо развитите страни.
(21b) The Commission should, as a matter of priority, strive within the World Trade Organisation to achieve an agreement harmonising the rules of origin, pursuant to which developing countries and the least developed countries receive preferential treatment.

For the purposes of the arrangements referred to in Article 1(2), the rules of origin concerning the definition of the concept of originating products, the procedures and the methods of administrative cooperation related thereto, shall be those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
For future revisions of the rules of origin, which should take place regularly, the Commission shall take into account cross-regional and global cumulation and the consideration of a country as eligible for GSP, GSP+ and Everything But Arms (EBA) preferential treatment even if it is not the final country for export.
