USA's kvote var allerede gået ned fra 42 % til 27 %, og nu er det samlede nominelle beløb for næste periode blevet nedskåret fra 12 til 9 mio dollars. Det er indlysende, at situationen, hvis dette beløb ses i forhold til dets reelle værdi — samtidig med at der tages højde for de netop omtalte faktorer — må siges at være endnu alvorligere.
All this would give the impression that there should have been a real increase in the amount of funds available to the largest international development association, thanks to contributions from both many industrialized countries and Eastern countries, which have so far avoided becoming involved in these urgent international obligations.
Sammenslutningens seneste genfinansieringsprogram, det vil sige det sjette, gjaldt for 1980, 1981 og 1982 og blev som bekendt forlænget til også at gælde for 1983, hvorved det for første gang fra at være et treårigt blev til et firårigt program.
The results of the negotiations which were concluded five days ago are however, disappointing and very worrying, especially since they are particularly concerned with the poorest areas of the world which are being threatened ever more seriously and directly by hunger, illness, natural disasters and wars as mentioned previously.
Der er tale om en politik, der er forskellig fra den multilaterale politik, der i stadig højere grad har været styrende for vor europæiske opfattelse af samarbejde.
1-933/83), drawn up by Mrs Carettoni Romagnoli on behalf of the Committee on Development and Cooperation, on the situation of the International Develop ment Association.
Den oprindelige finansiering på 12 mia dollars er imidlertid aldrig blevet ændret, hvilket har haft negative følger for mange af genfinansieringsprogrammerne.
Mr Bersani (PPE), deputy rapporteur. — (IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am deputizing for Mrs Carettoni who is indisposed, and on behalf of everybody offer her our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Sammenslutningen, der som jeg nævnte, finansieres gennem treårige periodiske genfinansieringer, yder lån, der hidtil har haft en løbetid på 50 år, men hvis varighed man nu vil til at forhandle om.
The East has taken no steps at all and in the West, the United States has reduced its commitments, which have already suffered a previous reduction from 42 % to 27 %, so that the nominal total for the next cycle has been reduced from 12 to 9 million dollars.
Der er tale om rentefrie lån, da den ene procent, der opkræves, stort set går til at dække de administrationsomkostninger, der knytter sig til lånene.
Obviously if this total is translated into real terms — bearing in mind the various indicators to which I have referred — the situation is even more serious.
Hvad skal Fælles skabet så gøre? Skaffe de tre millioner dollars ved europæisk intervention?
It should be noted that the American Mr Clausen, who is President of the World Bank, of which the Association is the major executive authority, has repeatedly fought in Assembly for the total to be raised to 15 million dollars.
Er det i virkeligheden det, der er'vor kollega, hr. Fuchs tanke, når han foreslår — og det kunne i den forbindelse være interessant at kende Kommissionens holdning — at dette skulle kunne lade sig gøre ved hjælp af en særlig fond, støttet af bidrag fra de forskellige EF-lande?
I particularly refer to the conclusion reached in the long and hard-fought negotiations which took place last Saturday, five days ago, on the refinancing of the International Development Association which has for 20 years, i.e. since 1960, been one of the major sources of multilateral assistance and cooperation : This refinancing is for its seventh three-year cycle.
Skulle man således fordele Fællesskabets ydelser mellem Lomé og sammenslutningen? Eller koncentrere det hele under Lomé under påskud af, at denne absolut har fortrinsret? Det forekommer mig, at formanden for Rådet, hr. Cheysson, i går klart tilkendegav, at det franske formandsskabs linje var udtryk for ønsket om at tage det størst mulige hensyn til sammenslutningens krav.
As the rapporteur has described in great detail, there are many reasons behind this and other similar American decisions such as the problems connected with the United States balance of payments and the disagreement and controversy which have arisen, especially in the past, over the distribution of funds since.
Den stigende inflation, sammenholdt med dollarens genopsving, det voksende antal modtagerlande, heriblandt Kina, der kom til for ganske nylig — det skulle være let for alle at forstå, hvor vigtigt problemet er, også på baggrund af det store antal lande, der ansøger om at blive modtagerlande; endvidere den stadig voksende nød i mange lande, som også skal ses isammenhæng med velkendte naturkatastrofer, især i Afrika, modtagerlandenes voldsomme befolkningstilvækst og den voksende bevidsthed i hele verden om Nord-Sydproblemet og dets stadig større tilknytning til problemet vedrørende fredelig sameksistens på verdensplan baseret på gensidig solidaritet. Alt dette gav anledning til at forvente, at der sammen med en reel stigning, målt i faste værdier, ville vise sig at være midler til rådighed for den største internationale sammenslutning for udvikling.
For example 70 % of the first funds were allocated to India and Pakistan which, are of all the developing countries, those which have the highest development indexes and which have always received more marked preference from the American administration for forms of bilateral policy which are very different from the multilateral policies to which our European philosophy has always been directed in various original ways.
Denne forventning skal også ses på baggrund af bidrag fra mange industrialiserede lande, også i Øst, der hidtil har afholdt sig fra at påtage sig den slags internationale forpligtelser.
Now, however, there is a tendency to review this 50 year period, since these are interest-free loans, the 1 % which is charged being used to cover the servicing of the loans.
Resultaterne af de forhandlinger, der blev afsluttet for nu fem dage siden, er imidlertid meget nedslående og foruroligende, og dette så meget desto mere som de i særlig grad berører de fattigste områder i verden,
Inflation has risen, partly because of the escalation of the dollar ; more countries are requesting aid, and China has recently become one of their number, which is a major development, because of the corresponding increase in the number of demands that can be expected ; many countries are destitute, partly because of natural calamities, especially in Africa ; the populations of the recipient countries are increasing rapidly and the whole world is becoming aware of the North-South problem and the increasing repercus
I dag, det vil sige fem dage efter lørdagens aftaler, står vi således, hr. formand, ærede kolleger, over for et vanskeligt valg.
The Member States of the Community are now faced with a difficult choice, since they need to meet the expectations of the ACP countries under Lomé III but cannot ignore the evermore pressing demands from that vast area of the world and its poorest regions.
Et valg, der kræver megen omhu og giver os et stort ansvar.
What to do ? Bridge the 3 million dollar gap with European funds ?
Det ville være hensigtsmæssigt, om vi, da multilateral politik ikke kan adskilles fra bilateral politik eller fællesskabspolitik, ikke lod os stille tilfreds med udelukkende at forhandle om genfinansieringsproblemet og kvoterne
This is basically what Mr Fuchs is suggesting and he also suggests — and here it would be interesting to have the Commission's opinion on the matter — that these funds could be obtained from a sort of special supply fund consisting of funds from Community countries.
Gérard Fuchs (S). — (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger. Fru Carettoni Romagnolis betænkning er en god betænkning om et for talrige udviklingslande livs vigtigt emne.
Mr Deschamps (PPE). — (FR) Mr President, the Group of the European Peoples Party will obviously vote in favour of Mrs Carettoni's report and her resolution.
Men desværre finder jeg ikke det forslag til beslutning, der er knyttet til betænkningen, godt nok set fra et politisk synspunkt, fordi man undlader at omtale den vigtigste grund til den nuværende krise i IDA, nemlig den amerikanske holdning og det nye tankesæt, der ligger til grund herfor, og som kort og godt kommer til udtryk i de nu alt for velkendte ord: »trade, not aid«.
I say obviously, because this resolution reflects in fact what has always been our objective : to give priority to the less advanced countries, that is the poorest countries, helping them to survive first of all, and then to emerge from their stagnation.
Det skal, kære kolleger, i denne Forsamling nævnes, at 32 af de 33 bidragydende lande i IDA var rede til med henblik på gentilvejebringelse af midler at betale op til 12 mia dollars, og at det ene og alene var De forenede Staters skyld, at man til sidst blev enige om kun 9 millarder.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, today, five days after the agreement made on Saturday, we are faced with a difficult choice which should involve our whole commitment and responsibility.
Den første bemærkning angår, hvor midlerne skal anvendes.
We hope to be able to convince Parliament of this and obtain a unanimous vote, as was the case in committee.
Den internationale sammenslutning for økonomisk Udvikling er ganske vist en organisation under Verdensbanken, og som sådan er dens arbejds felt forståeligt nok hele verden.
In particular, we hope that an increasingly large proportion of the financial funds provided for in the sixth refinancing will be collected urgently, and likewise those funds, which, alas, are quite inadequate, entered in the seventh refinancing.
Men spørgsmålet er den forholdsmæssige fordeling.
It is not normal, it is not fair, it is not worthy of us not to take account of the increase in the number of countries in need at the present time.
Jeg gad vide, hvordan vi i næste måned i Brazzaville skal forklare vore AVS-partnere, og specielt afrikanerne, at næsten halvdelen eller i hvert fald over 40 % af midlerne udelukkende går til Indien og Kina. Burde vi ikke derimod sørge for, at Afrika får en større del af disse midler, idet jo alle statistikker viser, at de fleste af de fattigste lande ligger i Afrika.
For this reason we must deplore and condemn the fact that the agreement reached on the seventh refinancing represents in effect, this must be stressed, a decline in the aid and also a substantial reduction in the participation by certain countries.
Min gruppe benytter denne lejlighed og denne forhandling til at gøre sig til talsmand herfor.
The principal aim of the IDA is in effect to assist the financing of projects in the poorest countries, those which are unable to gain access to the normal capital market, in particular owing to the current interest level.
Det skal i øvrigt også siges, at amerikanerne med deres holdning blot ud fra vor egen interesse, de udviklede landes interesse, forregner sig ganske gevaldigt, idet man jo ved at nedskære midlerne til de mindst udviklede lande uvægerligt kommer til at bidrage yderligere til en indskrænkning af den i forvejen kriseramte verdenshandel og derved øger risikoen for en ny økonomisk nedtur.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to vote in favour of this resolution, and we are going to vote in favour of amendments Nos 1 and 2 which only bring it up to date, but without for all that taking great pride in it, and in the hope that the next refinancing will finally show some true progress in this duty which we have to the more destitute.
Vort Fællesskab må derfor klart tilkendegive sin misbilligelse af den amerikanske holdning.
The European Peoples Party will therefore vote in favour of this report, but not without some comments.
Dette har jeg også foreslået gennem et ændringsforslag.
Here are three, Mr President.
Jeg skal herefter fremsætte en tredje bemærkning, der har mere med politik at gøre, men som jeg finder nødvendig.
For the most part, ladies and gentlemen, these are agricultural programmes which represent one of the very rare positive elements in the increasingly difficult fight against hunger in the world.
Der er blevet henvist til de procentbeløb, hver især hidtil har ydet IDA.
The first concerns the destination of the funds.
Jeg skal gentage: De forenede Stater i de første fem år: 42 %, Europa: 42 %, Japan: 4 %, OPEC: 1 % og de øvrige: 11 %.
It is true of course that the International Development Agency is a World Bank body and for this reason its scope is regarded as covering the whole world.
Deschamps (PPE). — (FR) Hr. formand, det europæiske folkepartis gruppe vil naturligvis stemme for fra Carettonis betænkning og forslaget til beslutning.
I wonder how we will explain to our ACP partners and especially to the Africans, next month in Brazzaville, that almost half or in any case almost 40 % of the funds have been distributed solely in India and in China.
Jeg siger naturligvis, fordi betænkningens målsætning er den samme, som den, vi altid har haft, nemlig i første række at hjælpe de mindst udviklede lande, dvs. de fattigste, til først og fremmest at overleve og dernæst at komme ud af deres økonomiske uføre.
Should we not, on the contrary, see to it that a greater proportion of these funds are allocated to Africa, which according to all the statistics truly includes the greatest number of very poor countries.
I øjeblikket, efter den 6. genfinansiering, er tallene som følger: De forenede Stater desværre kun 27 %, Europa: 45 %, Japan: 25 % i stedet for 4 °/o, OPEC: 10 % i stedet for 1 % og de øvrige: 10 % i stedet for II °/o. Når jeg siger de øvrige, hr. formand, så er det ikke, som De måske kunne tro, Sovjetunionen og
It must be said, also, that even purely from the point of view of our own interests, the interests of the developed countries, the American attitude is a stupid calculation, because a reduction in the resources of the least advanced countries can only lead to a further decline in world trade, which is already going through a crisis, and add further to the risk of a new world recession.
Jugoslavien er det eneste land blandt sidstnævnte, der yder bidrag til IDA.
I therefore ask the question : could the IDA not consider looking for funds on the financial markets, for example in the Member States, but this time in the form of loans ?
Det er utilstedeligt.
This is unacceptable.
Det er i øvrigt så meget desmere uacceptabelt, som nogle af medlemmerne af denne Forsamling uden så meget som at nævne denne totale og urimelige forsømmelse fra de kommunistiske landes side over for de fattigste udviklingslande i anledning af denne betænkning, og nok en gang vælter hele skylden over på De forenede Stater.
It is even less acceptable that some persons, here in Parliament, without saying a word about this total and unjustifiable indifference on the part of the Communist countries vis-à-vis the poorest developing countries, once again on the occasion of the debate on this report, attacks only the United States.
Verdensbanken anfører nemlig, at selv under de gunstigste forhold vil indkomsten pr. indbygger i Afrika formentlig blive lavere i 1985, end den var i 1970.
Even on the basis of the most optimistic forecast, the World Bank indicates that the per capita income in Africa will probably be lower in 1985 than it was in 1970.
Og dette sker på et mere end vanskeligt tids punkt for en hel del af modtagerlandene, idet disse samtidig har voksende økonomiske og finansielle vanskeligheder.
This deterioration occurs at a very difficult time for very many of the recipient countries, because it coincides with increasing economic and financial difficulties.
Desuden risikerer det at bringe alle de udviklingsbestræbelser, enten Fællesskabet eller de enkelte medlemsstater har gjort sig som led i den bilaterale støtte, i fare.
Further more, there is a risk of its calling into question of the development efforts of the Community or of individual Member States in the framework of bilateral aid.
Hr. formand, hvis vi skal bebrejde nogen noget — og det skal vi — så må vi i det mindste fordele bebrejdelserne rimeligt.
Mr President, it we wish to extend blame — and we do — we must at least do so impartially.
I IDA's fem første år har De forenede Stater alene, gentager jeg, bidraget med over 42 %.
During the first five years of the IDA, let me repeat, the United States alone contributed more than 42 %.
I den tid betalte Sovjetunionen lejetropper til visse udviklingslande, solgte våben til andre, men gav ikke en øre til de mest forarmede udviklingslande.
During this time, the USSR paid mercenaries in certain developing countries, sold arms to others, but did not pay one cent to the most impoverished of the developing countries.
Dette skal frem, inden man, som nogle af de tilstedeværende har gjort, vælter hele skylden over på De fore nede Stater.
This must be said before attacking, as some persons have done, the United States of America alone.
Og derfor, hr. Fuchs, stemmer vi ikke for Deres ændringsforslag nr. 4.
And this is why, Mr Fuchs, we will not vote in favour of your amendment No 4.
Vi må enstemmigt forlange, at alle, også vi europæere, yder den indsats, der er nødvendig for at dække de mindst udviklede landes behov.
We must call unanimously on everybody, and including us Europeans, to make the necessary effort to provide for the needs of the less developed countries.
Vi må alle enstemmigt kræve dette for at kunne hjælpe de ringest stille udviklingslande effektivt.
We must demand this unanimously so that we can provide effective aid to the most destitute of the developing countries.
Chambeiron (COM). — (FR) Hr. formand, for otte dage siden i Washington på mødet i Den internationale sammenslutning for økonomisk Udvikling gav sammenslutningens største medlem, De forenede Stater, meddelelse om, at de ville sætte deres bidrag væsentligt ned, hvorved selve denne organisations eksistens bringes i fare.
In reality, they consider that what is involved is the place which the rich countries, and in particular the United States, intend to give in the future to aid to the less developed countries.
Jeg tror, at alle her ved, at IDA som følge af lånenes karakter og lånevilkårene især yder bistand til land brugs- og vandbygningsprogrammer samt transport og sundhedsprogrammer, kort sagt til alt, hvad der i de særligt dårligt stillede lande kan give befolkningen en relativ stor selvstændighed.
On top of this, the general trend is to increasingly encourage private capital flows to the Third World, which means, in other words, to give preference to criteria of sole financial profitability and to reduce the flow of aid, that is to maintaining colonial practices in less ostensible form.
Arbejdet i forbindelse med 6. genfinansiering af IDA er næsten afsluttet, og det er også arbejdet med IDA-7, men desværre blev resultatet af forhandlingerne kun et tal på 9 mia dollars i stedet for de 12 mia, som alle de øvrige bidragydende lande var villige til at acceptere, og som Fællesskabet officielt havde anbefalet den amerikanske regering.
For all these reasons, Mrs Carettoni's report is more topical than ever, and I support her call to the Member States of the Community to respect their commitments, hoping that the payments can be made according to formulae which preserve and guarantee the existence and autonomy of action of the IDA.
Det er beklageligt, at man ikke kunne nå dette tal, og jeg mener, at De gør ret i at sige dette. Under disse omstændigheder kan man ikke undgå de konsekvenser, der er blevet omtalt her, det vil sige, at IDA må nedskære sin bistand til de fattigste udviklingslande på et tidspunkt, hvor disses behov er større end nogen sinde.
Mr Chambeiron (COM). — (FR) Mr President, a week ago in Washington, at the meeting of the Inter national Development Agency, its principal member, the United States, announced a substantial reduction in its contribution, a reduction which called into question the very existence of this organization.
Man må i det mindste først og fremmest insistere på, at arbejdet i forbindelse med 6. genfinansiering afsluttes inden den 30. juni i år, og det vil vi fra vor side gøre alt for kan ske.
I think that everybody here knows that the IDA, by the nature and conditions of allocation of its loans, principally promotes agricultural or hydraulic programmes, transport or sanitary programmes, in short, anything which can give relative autonomy to the population in particularly destitute countries.
Kommissionen bør i højere grad og mere systematisk end hidtil analysere de forskellige aspekter af den forskning, som mest effektivt kan gennemføres på fællesskabsplan, i hvert enkelt forslag gøre rede for medlemsstaternes arbejde og argumenterne for Fællesskabets detagelse heri. Man bør bestræbe sig på at opstille en rimelig budgetramme for disse bestræ­belser, for bedre at kunne vurdere de omkostnings­mæssige og effektivitetsmæssige aspekter af disse programmer.
I myself regret this all the more in that it was in the Council of Ministers for Economic Affairs and Finance that the discussion on the position to be adopted took place and that we agreed on this figure of 12 000 million dollars, which was already a compromise compared to what some of us would have liked.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på ■ dagsordenen er betænkning (dok.
This is what we have tried to cover in this report.
1­1110/83) af Såby for budgetkon­troludvalget om effektivitet og valg i forbindelse med Fællesskabets finansiering af forskning og industri.
At least we must insist that the operations under the sixth refinancing are concluded before 30 June of this year, and for our part we will make every effort to this end.
Kommissionen har for nylig fremsat forslag om de mål, der bør nås, nemlig at give nye impulser til forskningssamarbejdet, at fastsætte europæiske normer og foranstalte offentlige licitationer, at satse på den fælles handelspolitik til udvikling af den euro­pæiske industri, at fremme samarbejde mellem euro­pæiske virksomheder, at udvide Fællesskabets inter­ventionsområder og iværksætte infrastrukturprojekter, som fremmer samhandlen.
We believe that in order to emerge from the crisis once for and for all and to solve the problem of unemployment it is necessary to develop new technologies and high added value industries. This would obviously involve considerable effort in the field of scientific research and technology transfer so that the industries linked to job creation can develop in the right direction. tion.
Det er hensigten med denne betænkning.
It is regrettable, as Mr Deschamps pointed out, that the East Bloc countries are not becoming involved on the necessary scale in this field in the broadest sense.
Endelig understreges det i betænkningen, hvor stor vægt vi lægger på de små og mellemstore virksom­heder.
Efforts have recently been made by the European Commission to make Community research policy more consistent.
Vi må således undgå de problemer, som land­braget er stødt på.
However, much has yet to be accomplished, as can be seen from the fact that less than 3% of the budget is used for this policy.
Det forholder sig i dag sådan, at de små og mellemstore virksomheder udgør 90 % af den europæiske industri og beskæftiger 60 % af den erhvervsaktive befolk­ning.
Suggestions have come from more or less all speakers, among them Mr Fuchs and Mr Deschamps.
Dette vil sige, at det er af stor betydning, at de små og mellemstore virksomheder i Europa også kan drage nytte af forskningsresultaterne og teknologi­overførslen.
While I cannot reply immediately on their substance, because the ideas put forward and which I have noted with great interest, must at least be studied, but I am quite prepared to examine them and to discuss them with you at a later date.
Vi mener således, at en varig løsning på krisen og beskæftigelsesproblemerne skal søges i udviklingen af ny teknologi og fremme af højforædlingsindustrierne.
In order to do this it will be necessary to obtain a broad consensus by involving the European Parliament and also, which is even more important, the representatives of industry who may be able to use the results of the basic research.
Dette kræver naturligvis en betydelig indsats inden
The motion for a resolution will be put to the vote at the next voting time.
