Supports the setting-up of dedicated initiatives, within the market access strategy framework, to tackle in particular barriers in the fields of services, public procurement, investment and IPRs, State aid and other subsidies, and to establish rules on competition and their adequate implementation in third countries;

Многостранният подход
The multilateral approach
Подчертава потребността от установяване на взаимодействие с основните търговски партньори на Европейския съюз (като Съединените американски щати, Канада и Япония) с оглед определяне на обща стратегия за достъп до пазари и подготовка на така необходимото многостранно споразумение относно достъпа до пазари;
Stresses the need to create synergies with the European Union's major trade partners (such as the United States of America, Canada and Japan) with a view to defining a common market access strategy and to paving the way to a much needed multilateral agreement on market access;
Отново подчертава необходимостта от по-нататъшно насърчаване на по-тясното международно сътрудничество в сферата на регулирането и сближаването, за да се премахне разточителното дублиране и да се намалят разходите за потребителите, промишлеността и правителствата; призовава Комисията да насърчи постепенното сближаване на стандартите и разпоредбите на Европейския съюз и неговите търговски партньори, както на многостранна, така и на двустранна основа;

Urges the Commission to promote dedicated WTO mechanisms allowing faster consideration to address new and emerging non-tariff barriers; in this respect, the Commission should encourage other trade partners to make greater use of the notification procedures under the Agreements on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBTs);
Настоява за неотклонно прилагане и гарантиране на спазването от страна на трети страни на техните задължения по СТО, като това право се упражнява съгласно механизма на СТО за разрешаване на спорове;
Insists on maintaining a clear focus on enforcement and in ensuring compliance by third countries with their WTO obligations, by pursuing this right under the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism;
Поглед в бъдещето
Looking ahead
Счита, че с изключение на случаите когато това е оправдано от загриженост за развитието, Европейският съюз следва да полага най-енергични усилия за осигуряване на отстъпки от своите търговски партньори, които са на равнище на развитие, съизмеримо с това на неговите държави-членки;
Takes the view that, unless justified by development concerns, the European Union should deploy its best efforts to obtain concessions from its trading partners that are proportionate to their level of development;
Настоятелно призовава Комисията да включи в новото поколение споразумения за свободна търговия (ССТ) и в други споразумения, които оказват въздействие върху търговията, ясни разпоредби за прилагане и разрешаване на спорове, специално предназначени за преодоляване на бариери "зад граница";

Приканва търговските партньори на Европейския съюз да премахнат всички бариери, които ограничават достъпа до пазари за стоки и услуги, като вместо това оптимизират взаимните търговски възможности на основата на реципрочност, включително посредством задоволителното прилагане на мерки за отваряне на пазара, които са резултат от двустранни, регионални и многостранни преговори;
Invites the European Union's trade partners to dismantle any barriers restricting market access for goods and services and instead to optimize mutual commercial opportunities on the basis of reciprocity, including through satisfactory implementation of market opening measures resulting from bilateral, regional and multilateral negotiations;

On account of baffling customs procedures, discriminatory health or technical regulations, various administrative obstacles, serious infringements of intellectual property rights, and restrictive practices regarding public procurement or foreign investment, access to the markets of certain non-EU countries is an extremely difficult and expensive matter, especially for SMEs with limited funds and resources.

It would also be highly desirable to strengthen the initiatives aimed at SMEs: otherwise the danger would be that the benefits of the renewed Community commitment to market access might be confined to a small number of strong, influential economic sectors, without extending to those firms which today still account for most of the European economic fabric and are more likely to be hit by the restrictive practices laid down in other quarters.
