mener, at Parlamentet med revisionen af de finansielle instrumenter og sammenlægningen af forordninger risikerer at miste de beføjelser, det har opnået i henhold til den fælles beslutningsprocedure, og henleder opmærksomheden på Udenrigsudvalgets holdning med hensyn til stabilitetsinstrumentet, som gik ud på at indføre en ad hoc-tilbagekaldelsesprocedure for vedtagelse af flerårige strategidokumenter/vejledende programmer fastlagt i en interinstitutionel aftale;

Insists that the Multiannual Indicative Framework (MIF), which the Commission will introduce for the three external relations instruments (DCECI, ENI, SI) under co-decision as soon as the financial perspective 2007-2013 has been adopted, represents an essential part of the instruments and should be adopted by Parliament and the Council under Article 251 (codecision), and draws attention to the position endorsed by the Foreign Affairs Committee that, without prior knowledge of the Multiannual Indicative Framework, Parliament cannot adopt the respective regulations;

mener ikke, at forhandlingerne om økonomisk partnerskab bør baseres på gensidig handelsliberalisering i forbindelse med AVS-landene, der har betydeligt svagere økonomier, men tværtimod bør styrke deres ret til udvikling og anerkende deres ret til at beskytte de lokale og regionale markeder og til kun at åbne disse markeder for produkter og tjenesteydelser fra industrialiserede lande i områder, hvor deres økonomier er tilstrækkeligt konkurrencedygtige;
Believes that the Economic Partnership negotiations should not be based on trade liberalisation reciprocity with ACP countries, whose economies are considerably weaker, but on the contrary should assert their rights to development and acknowledge their right to protect their local and regional markets and only to open these up to products and services from industrialised countries in areas in which their economies are sufficiently strong to compete;
