In line with the spirit of the conclusions of the 1998 Vienna European Council, a gradual process of strengthening European coordination within the IMF should be embarked upon with the long-term objective of a single representation respecting the prerogatives of the Community institutions, notably the role of the Commission and the democratic scrutiny exercised by the European Parliament.

Opening the country up to international trade must no longer be demanded as a sine qua non , and it must be possible to take account of other factors such as the need for customs revenue, often indispensable in the short term, and the need to protect certain emergent economic sectors on a temporary basis from the sudden impact of international competition.

It is pertinent to ask whether this stability is today threatened principally by the risk of a balance of payments crisis in the poor and emerging countries, or whether the main source of instability does not rather lie with the major developed economies and their imbalances, notably the twin deficits of the USA.

The Committee on Development calls on the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution:
– zvýšením počtu a váhy základních hlasů (ty v současné době představují méně než 3 % hlasů), které byly původně zavedeny k zajištění větší rovnosti mezi členy, pomocí lepší rovnováhy při rozhodování, která povede i k větší legitimitě MMF;
- increasing the number and the weight of the basic votes (currently representing less than 3% of votes), which were originally introduced in order to ensure greater equality between members, a better balance in decision making and thus greater legitimacy of the IMF;
– zřízením mechanismu, který by rozvojovým zemím umožnil zvýšit jejich členské podíly ve Fondu, například zřízením svěřeneckého fondu, který by financoval členské příspěvky nejchudších zemí;
- devising a mechanism which would allow developing countries to increase their membership shares in the Fund, such as the setting up of a Trust Fund to finance member shares for the poorest countries;
6. zdůrazňuje, že princip vlastnictví partnerské země musí být středem rozvojové spolupráce; vyzývá tedy MMF, aby při posuzování podmínek k poskytování půjček bral v úvahu, že prioritou je odstranění chudoby a nijak neztěžoval dosažení rozvojových cílů tisíciletí;
Stresses that the principle of partner country ownership must be at the centre of development cooperation; therefore calls on the IMF to fully recognise, when considering conditionalities for lending, the priority given to poverty eradication and not to make in any way the achievement of the MDGs more difficult;

(1a) Strategické pokyny Společenství zohledňují mnohostrannou úlohu zemědělství a velké rozdíly mezi regiony rozšířené Unie, což vyžaduje, aby byla členským státům ponechána nezbytná flexibilita při plánování a provádění programů pro rozvoj venkova.
(1a) The Community strategic guidelines take account of the multifunctional role of agriculture and of the wide diversity between the regions of the enlarged EU, which require the Member States to be allowed the necessary flexibility during the planning and implementation of the rural development programmes.
(2) Strategické pokyny určí oblasti důležité pro naplňování priorit Společenství, a to zejména ve vztahu ke göteborským cílům udržitelnosti a k obnovené lisabonské strategii pro hospodářský růst a zaměstnanost.

Ačkoli je podle nařízení Rady ES 1698/2005 třeba přijmout pravidla usnadňující přechod od současných podpůrných programů k novým podpůrným programům rozvoje venkova, měly by se pokyny zaměřit rovněž na nezbytnou kontinuitu mezi současnými programy a programy, které budou vypracovány.
Although the Council regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 contains the need of adopting rules to facilitate the transition from the existing support scheme to the new rural development support scheme, the Guidelines should also focus on the necessity of continuity between the running programmes and the programmes to be elaborated.

Společná zemědělská politika a rozvoj venkova
The CAP and Rural Development
Rozvoj venkova v rámci společné zemědělské politiky
Rural Development within the CAP
Zemědělství je nadále největším uživatelem venkovské půdy a také klíčovým prvkem určujícím kvalitu krajiny a životního prostředí.
Agriculture continues to be the largest user of rural land as well as a key determinant of the quality of the countryside and the environment.
Společná zemědělská politika a rozvoj venkova získaly na důležitosti a významu s nedávným rozšířením Evropské unie.
The importance and relevance of the CAP and rural development have increased with the recent enlargement of the European Union.
První pilíř společné zemědělské politiky a rozvoje venkova získal na důležitosti a významu s nedávným rozšířením Evropské unie.
The importance and relevance of the first pillar of the CAP and rural development have increased with the recent enlargement of the European Union.
Bez dvou pilířů společné zemědělské politiky, tržní politiky a rozvoje venkova, by mnoho venkovských oblastí v Evropě čelilo rostoucím problémům v oblasti hospodářské, sociální a životního prostředí.
Without the two pillars of the CAP, market policy and rural development, many rural areas of Europe would face increasing economic, social and environmental problems.
Evropský zemědělský model odráží mnohostrannou úlohu zemědělství, pokud jde o bohatost a rozmanitost krajiny, potravinářských výrobků a kulturního a přírodního dědictví.
The European Model of Agriculture reflects the multifunctional role farming plays in the richness and diversity of landscapes, food products and cultural and natural heritage.
