Jeg mener, dette er to punkter, som vi bør være meget opmærksomme på, og vi bør takke hr. Andriessen for hans præcise svar.
This group is collaborating with other inter national bodies in an attempt to check the ecological effects of the disaster caused by Iraq during the war.
Andriessen, medlem af Kommissionen. ret er nej.
Subject: Ecological disaster in Kuwait
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet ').
PRESIDENT. — Question 26 will not be called since the subject is already included in the agenda.
(Mødet hævet kl. 19.10 og genoptaget kl. 20.45)
Question No 27 by Mr Cushnahan (H-0215/91)
Formanden. — Jeg vil gerne udtrykke min tilfreds hed, fordi næstformanden, hr. Andriessen, i sit andet indlæg i dag svarede på så mange punkter i vore kommentarer. Det ville være ønskværdigt, hvis kom
In view of the serious ecological consequences for the region and other areas of the world which may result from the ruthless burning by Saddam Hussein of over five hundred oil wells in Kuwait:
(Det højtidelige møde indledt kl. 12.35)
spending on the structural funds has been set up to 1993.
Tale af hr. Museveni
And of course the European Parliament has a very considerable say in that.
(Bifald) fysiske sår, man har bibragt Afrika, er alvorlige, er det de psykiske sår, der nok ikke så let heles.
Now is not the time, I think, to be saying how much money will be needed for that.
Hvis de ikke gøre det, vil Afrika ikke igen vise sig på verdenskortet over udvikling.
I think it would make sense for us to try to prevent a kind of competition arising amongst priorities in the European Community.
Grundlæggende er der fire hovedproblemer, der efter min mening har hæmmet det uafhængige Afrika.
We have internal priorities, very important ones, and we have external priorities.
Det første problem er mangelen på ideologisk uafhængighed.
I have every confidence that the budgetary authorities and the Commission will take the right decisions in future as far as these priorities are concerned.
Størstedelen af 1960'erne, 1970'erne og 1980'erne, der var uafhængighedens tiår, gik med den sørgelige opsplitning af Afrika langs den ideologiske øst/vest skillelinje, på trods af at denne opdeling var fuldstændig irrelevant for Afrikas vitale behov.
Clearly, now the war is over, there is a job for the European Community, primarily of course in terms of humanitarian aid, and a start has already been made on this, for example with the supplying of water purification equipment for the city of Baghdad.
Alle de afrikanske regimer måtte udtrykke tilhørsforhold til den ene eller den anden af de blokke, der var toneangivende på den tid.
Clearly a lot more measures will be required to meet the most pressing needs of the people in these areas.
Spørgsmålet var altid: Er du pro-vestlig, hvis du var i Vesteuropa, eller er du pro-østlig, hvis du var i Østeuropa.
For these reasons the Commission has decided today to provide a total of ECU 5 million from the 1991 budget, naturally from the budget line for humanitarian aid to third countries, and to make these funds available for aid in this area.
Mens man i Vesteuropa konsoliderede enheden inden for EF, var det af samme grund umuligt at konsolidere enheden inden for Afrikas regioner.
But I can allay any fears the honourable Member may have that the money to be used for these purposes, in the Gulf, will be taken from the structural funds. It won't be.
Vor politiske bevægelse har, siden den begyndte i de tidlige 1970'er som en politisk bevægelse, ikke accepteret denne påtvungne deling af Afrika.
The Gulf is a special priority, and if the Community thinks money must be spent on it, then money will be found for it, but not at the expense of the structural funds.
... en gæstfrihed, der fuldt ud lever op til en rodfæstet afrikansk tradition, og en effektivitet, der viser, at Uganda under Deres præsidentperiode lykkeligvis ikke blot er i gang med at hele gamle sår, men desuden er ved at udvikle sig til et moderne land, hvilket vi hilser velkommen.
MAHER (LDR). — Great damage has been done, particularly to Kuwait, but there are countries in that region which are very wealthy because they possess oil, so is not the onus on those oil-rich countries to help in the reconstruction of Kuwait ?
Europa-Parlamentet, der opretholder tætte forbindelser med Deres land og Deres kontinent, er yderst beæret over Deres besøg, og vi ser frem til at høre, hvad De måtte ønske at sige til os.
That is a humanitarian thing to do. But I am concerned that whatever effort is made, unless it comes out of a special fund, could affect the poorer regions in the Community which are lagging behind the other regions of the Community in terms of social and economic development.
Jeg giver derfor ordet til præsident Museveni. (Bifald)
Or will it all go to the Americans ?
Museveni, formand for Organisationen for Afrikansk Enhed og Ugandas præsident. — (EN) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, som repræsentant for med lemsstaterne i Organisationen for Afrikansk Enhed er det mig en stor ære i dag at henvende mig til Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg.
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) First of all I should say that the answer I have just given was a general one.
Jeg takker Dem for at give mig muligheden, især da det sker kort tid efter det nylige succesrige møde i Den Paritetiske Forsamling AVS-EØF, som vi havde den glæde at være vært for i Kampala ved sidste måneds udgang.
It was certainly not confined to activities to be carried out in the Gulf, but concerned the setting of priorities in the European Community's internal and external policy. That is my first point.
I Afrika har problemet derimod været underudvikling og afhængighed, til forskel fra gensidig afhængighed.
And of course that will be reflected in the financing of that country's reconstruction.
De koloniale og postkoloniale systemer i Afrika har været fuldkommen blottet for levedygtighed.
It certainly does not go without saying that large sums will be made available by the European Community.
Så længe Afrikas ledere tilkendegav tilhørsforhold til en af disse lejre, blev alle deres svagheder ignoreret. Krænkelse af menneskerettighederne, korruption, undertrykkelse af demokratiet og fejlstyring af økonomien blev dagens løsen.
At the moment we are seeing Kuwait participating in a number of measures to aid certain countries in Central and Eastern Europe which need help for their balance of payments deficits or other forms of financial aid.
EF er fortsat det vigtigste marked for Afrikas eksport og en vigtig kilde til finansielle ressourcer udefra.
I have noted what you have said, namely that this will not be taken out of structural funding but the very specific question I asked was about the post-1993 situation.
Vi er en del af AVS-landene og værdsætter vort partnerskab i Lomé-konventionen.
I recognize for example that any contribution that went to Central and Eastern Europe would not affect structural funding up to 1993.
For tiden køber Fællesskabet 58% af Afrikas eksport, mens 53% af vor import kommer fra Europa.
What I would like is an assurance that after 1993 there will be no money taken away from a budgetary line to help the poorer Member States.
EF tegner sig for 40% af den samlede officielle udviklingsbistand, og stort set samme procentdel af de private midler, der tilflyder Afrika.
These funds are designed to ensure that the poorer regions can compete on a level playing-pitch in a single market and, indeed, in the latter stages of economic and monetary union, because their infrastructures are already weak, undermining their industrial potential and tourist potential.
Vor verdensdel har haft særdeles traumatiske oplevelser i de sidste fem århundreder.
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) I am afraid that the points being made here are academic.
Selv om de
Community budget
Som bekendt har forudsætningen for social udvikling historien igennem været videnskab og teknologi.
It is difficult to say at present how far European companies will be involved in contracts for the reconstruction of Kuwait.
Tæmningen af ilden ændrede mennesket fra at leve i træerne til at blive hulebeboer.
The impression I have from the press is that Kuwait will certainly not be favouring
Imidlertid har Afrikas ideologiske spændetrøje i de sidste tre tiår ikke gjort det muligt for os at tage dette vitale spørgsmål op.
one particular country in this.
Nogle af os har kæmpet imod denne forvredne opfattelse i mange år.
I think that consideration may reasonably be expected to be a factor.
Det andet vigtige problem for Afrika i dag er, at man udelukkende støtter sig på produktionen af råvarer, og det er en kolonial arv, som de afrikanske ledere ikke tog op efter uafhængigheden.
ANDRIESSEN, Vice-President of the Commission. — (NL) First of all may I say that the Commission fully supports developments in the Helsinki process regard ing the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe and more especially the stated aims of the Paris Charter which, as you will recall, was signed last November by the participating states and the presidents of the Council and Commission of the European Communities.
Problemet ved disse varer — med varer tænker jeg på råmaterialer — er, at det ikke kræver megen kunnen at producere dem.
CORNELISSEN (PPE). — (NL) Clearly, political events occurring outside the European Community mean that it faces sizable expenditure which was not foreseeable a few years ago.
Derfor kan ethvert land i troperne med lignende klimatiske forhold på kort tid gå ind i produktion af råvarer. De multinationale pengeinstitutter har også fremmet produktionen af disse råvarer på en planløs måde. Konsekvensen har været overproduktion og som følge heraf faldende priser.
Assuming the Commissioner believes in the need for a Community policy in this area too, I conclude that there is a pressing need in the immediate future for an appraisal of the financial consequences for the European Community, in terms both of internal and external policy, which all manner of unexpected developments may entail.
Nogle mennesker har undret sig over, hvor Afrika er økonomisk og politisk tilbagestående. Denne produktion giver ikke mulighed for, at en middelklasse kan opstå.
Regarding the powers of the European Community and the Commission' in this area we look to Article 223 of the Rome Treaty.
Det er sådan, at den, der var velstillet, lad os sige i 1954, da kaffepriserne var høje, og var begyndt at ændre sig fra at være en rig landmand til at blive et medlem af middelklassen på landet, nu igen er tilbage i bonde standen på grund af kaffeprisernes sammenbrud.
This Treaty says, and I quote : 'Any Member State may take such measures as it considers necessary for the protection of the essential interests of its security which are connected with the production of or trade in arms, munitions and war material'.
Som De ved af egen erfaring, er den moderne liberale økonomi, De har glæde af i Europa, middel klassens ideologi, en klasse der hele tiden er vokset både i kvantitet og kvalitet.
This means that the Commission does not currently have any specific powers actively to restrict or ban the export of weapons to developing countries.
Desuden er den paneuropæiske bevægelse, der bringer Dem velstand uden fortilfælde, også Europas middelklasses ideologi. Det er den, der er interesseret i Europas markeder og derfor i Europas enhed.
Perhaps I can remind the House that the Commission, in its guidelines for the work of last November's Intergovernmental Conference on European Political Union, spoke out clearly in favour of extending the Community's powers in this area and stressed that the arms trade should be made subject to Community market rules, with the consequent deletion of Article 223 from the Treaty.
Det er et meget vigtigt punkt, for nogle af Dem undrer sig nok over, hvad der er galt med Afrika. De mener måske, at der er noget rodfæstet forkert med Afrika.
It set out that idea in concrete terms in its contribution, made in the form of a draft chapter for a treaty on foreign policy, defence, etc., which was put to the Intergovernmental Conference very recently.
Hvorfor er det økonomisk tilbagestående? Hvorfor er det politisk tilbagestående?
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) The honourable Member has put his finger on a point which we shall need to address in the coming months.
Det er ganske rigtigt, men problemet ligger i økonomiens struktur. Økonomien tillader ikke, at der opstår en middelklasse.
In the context of the duty which the Commission has to announce this year the financial perspectives for the next period, attention will indeed have to be given to the various priorities and expenditures necessitated by political objectives, concrete policy measures, which we have in view.
Hele landet går ned med den, og den sociale udvikling går også ned med kaffeprisen.
Quite when he will do so I don't know, but I am sure it will be fairly soon.
Hvis man ikke har en middelklasse, hvordan kan man så interessere sig for panafrikanisme eller panugandaisme?
That may then be the starting point for a thorough debate on the relative importance to be given to our internal and external priorities.
Hvis man ikke er fabrikant, hvis man ikke eksporterer, ved man ikke, at man har brug for en bredere gruppe for at få en levedygtig økonomi, så forstår man ikke værdien af enhed.
I would add that the Gulf war has shown us that a war waged at the high-tech level of today's world ought really to be an impossibility.
Europas historie er fyldt med alt dette.
I know it will be difficult.
Vi har ikke engang udviklet os til et klassesamfund, og det er, fordi økonomien er baseret på råmaterialer.
I think the European Community should equip itself to take action on this matter both internally and externally.
Jeg kan se, at nogle af medlemmerne af Den Socialistiske Gruppe ikke er enige med mig.
PRESIDENT. — As they deal with the same subject the following questions will be taken together.
(Munterhed og bifald)
Question No 28 by Mr Arbeloa Muru (H-1311/90) Subject: The arms trade with developing countries
Det udgjorde en 14% produktionsnedgang.
Question No 29 by Mr Seligman (H-0208/91)
I 1987 var der imidlertid et overudbud af kaffe.
Subject : Supplies of chemicals and chemical plant to Libya
I 1989 eksporterede vi 3,2 mio. sække, med andre ord en million sække mere end i 1986.
In 1989 the Council drew up a regulation on the exportation of certain chemical products.
Men vi tjente kun 150 mio. dollars ved denne forøgede eksport. Det er det, jeg mener med, at jo hårdere vi arbejder, des mindre tjener vi med den nuværende arbejdsdeling.
That introduced a system of prior export licences, but those export licences are granted by the Member States.
De protesterer imod min udtalelse.
And we, the Commission, haven't really any say in that.
Men alt er relativt: Selv om maskinarbejderen, der nu er en faglært arbejder, ikke er en Rockefeller eller en af de store fabrikanter, har han i hvert fald haft fremgang sammenlignet med den, der stadig bruger en hakke.
In the context of what I have just said about the supply of arms in general I would thus say a fortiori that for biological and chemical weapons what we need is Community rules at least, but ultimately international rules, in order to outlaw these inhuman weapons.
I Afrika på den anden side kan en forkrøblet middelklasse ikke bidrage til studier af liberale tan-
Can the Commission assure Parliament that supplies of chemicals and chemical plant by Community firms to enterprises in the Libyan Arab Jamharriya
De afrikanske lande må omorientere deres økono mier, bort fra denne afhængighed af råmaterialer.
ARBELOA MURU (S). — (ES) I should like to thank Mr Andriessen for his very positive statement with
Følgelig kan den frelsende magt under vore politiske forhold blive de revolutionære intellektuelle, der gennem bevidste økonomiske for anstaltninger kan stimulere middelklassens vækst.
Following the lessons of the Gulf war to which you referred, do you now feel a little more optimistic, Commissioner, with regard to the possibility of member states deleting Article 223 of the Treaty of Rome?
Tanken om regional integration blev ikke taget seriøst op, fordi mange afrikanske lande havde travlt med at se mod nord, hovedsagelig til deres tidligere koloniherrer.
I cannot venture to say definitely at present whether the CSCE is the instrument best suited to tackle the question of Cyprus.
Ud fra den europæiske erfaring ved De, hvor positiv en stimulans et stort marked er. I stedet for et fælles marked er der i Afrikas tilfælde konflikter eller mistænksomhed imellem staterne. Der er imidlertid blevet gjort forsøg på at etablere regionale markeder. Erkendelsen af Afrikas voksende marginalisering tvinger nu flere ledere til mere at se indad i Afrika.
I know that the United Nations has given a lot of attention to Cyprus in the past and that the UN Secretary-General has concerned himself personally with the issue.
Hver gang jeg taler med europæiske ledere, spørger De mig, om jeg ikke er urolig over tilnærmelserne mellem Øst og Vest.
I think this would be very advantageous too for relations between the European Community and the region in question.
De spørger mig, om jeg ikke tror, Afrika vil blive glemt.
PRESIDENT. — Question No 30 by Mrs Ferrer (H-0165/91)
Mit svar er, at det ikke er dårligt for Afrika at blive glemt en lille smule.
Subject: Negotiations on textiles in the framework of GATT
(Bifald)
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) I really have very little to add here.
Men de har ikke givet bonus, fordi folk har alt for travlt med at se mod nord.
Historically it has not always been easy to do that, but it is never too late to learn.
Hvis afrikanerne tvinges til at se på sig selv, tror jeg ikke, det er så galt.
I hope this intergovernmental Conference will be willing to take up this idea, which is a disinterested one.
Organisationer som PTA — handelspræferenceområdet for det østlige, cen trale og sydlige Afrika — og ECOWAS ser nu ud til i højere grad at blive erkendt som værende nyttige midler til omlægning.
The European textile, clothing and chemical fibre industries have all expressed concern at the fact that the texts being negotiated in the Uruguay Round concerning the textile industry do not correspond to what they themselves put forward.
Europa søgte at skabe en stærk økonomisk blok, der tillod fri bevægelighed for varer, tjenesteydelser, arbejdskraft og kapital. Det er retningsgivende for verden i dag.
Nevertheless, it appears that the text submitted in Brussels does not include these proposals and falls far short of the stated goals.
Det er noget, der fødtes af nødvendigheden, men Australien og New Zealand dannede også et frihandelsområde i 1989, mens USA og Canada og andre følger efter.
I do not see why we should not use the nonproliferation treaty for nuclear weapons and materials as a model for chemical and germ warfare materials.
Afrika har talt om enhed i nogen tid nu. De vil huske Kenyatta, Nkrumah og Padmore i 1940'eme, De vil huske Nkrumahs appel i 1957 om en samlet regering for hele det uafhængige Afrika.
This is the problem.
Disse tanker førte direkte til oprettelsen af Organisationen for Afrikansk Enhed i 1963.
In view of these accusations, can the Commission explain whether its negotiating position with regard to the textiles sector is consistent with its undertaking at Punta del Este ?
Vi har nu et forum, og vi drøfter fortsat udsigterne til enhed i vor verdens del.
Is each and every one of the proposals submitted by the European industries being taken into account ?
Med hensyn til økonomien har vi måske ikke klaret det så godt, men på den politiske side har vi nogle resultater.
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) It is quite true that things which often seem innocent can in reality lead to serious and harmful abuses.
Vi tror, at vejen frem i Afrika er økonomisk og politisk enhed.
In my view the idea of an inspectorate has much to recommend it.
Vi håber nu at kunne undertegne traktaten om oprettelse af Det Afrikanske Økonomiske Fællesskab på det næste OAU-topmøde i juni i Nigeria.
The most important thing of course is that there should be a consensus to halt practices of this kind.
Den nævnte Lagos-plan anbefalede oprettelsen af vore fire subregionale økonomiske fællesskaber som en midlertidig foranstaltning, indtil Det Afrikanske Fællesskab kunne oprettes.
Once that willingness is there, we shall look for ways and means of carrying out supervision in order to ensure that these measures are in fact put into practice.
Det er nu sket. Vi har De Vestafrikanske Staters Økonomiske Fællesskab med en befolkning på cirka 174 mio. mennesker, men med et lille BNP på kun 105 mia. dollars.
DESSYLAS (CG). — (GR) Mr Commissioner, now that the Gulf war is over, will you raise at the CSCE the matter of the exclusion of the Turkish region of Mersina from conventional weapons ?
I Østafrika og det sydlige Afrika har vi handelspræferenceområdet, der blev oprettet i 1982, med en befolkning på næsten 230 mio. mennesker og et BNP på kun 64 mia. dollars, selv om det dækker næsten halvdelen af Afrika.
I remind you that Mersina is the port opposite Cyprus from which Attila's invasion was launched, and where still today the Turks maintain powerful forces, namely more than 20 thousand soldiers.
I Centralafrika er der De Centralafrikanske Staters Økonomiske Fællesskab, som blev oprettet i 1989.
ANDRIESSEN. — (NL) Clearly the Gulf war has once again focused attention on a large number of regional
Det har en befolkning på 66 mio. mennesker og et BNP på kun 36 mia. dollars.
ANDRIESSEN, Vice-President of the Commission. — (NL) Textiles are a very sensitive area of the GATT negotiations.
Vi håber, at Maghreb-unionen i Nordafrika også til sin tid vil blive til virkelighed. Blandt disse subregionale grupperinger er PTA det mest dynamiske. Andre grupperinger kunne lære af dem.
The textile talks are sensitive in the European Community and certainly in a number of Member States, especially of course in Portugal, but textiles are equally sensitive in Asia, and also in Central and Eastern Europe for example.
Det er altså vort tredje problem: De små
That means that the Commission has to give particular attention to textiles.
Vor organisation har også været stærkt engageret i at fremskynde tempoet i afkolonialiseringen, og vore resultater i den henseende har været betydelige. Der er den misopfattelse i andre dele af verden, at Organisationen for Afrikansk Enhed kun er en diskussionsklub.
Having said that, I must emphasize once again that the Commission has always, in the Uruguay Round, upheld the principle of parallelism for textiles, that is to say that the gradual integration of the textile sector into the multilateral system has to be matched by a strengthening of the rules and disciplines of GATT.
Det er delvis rigtigt, men ikke helt.
The talks which have now resumed on the basis of a text
Museveni markeders problem, og De har hørt, hvad vi prøver at gøre ved det.
ANDRIESSEN closely in touch with technical experts from the relevant industries — be it textiles or agriculture — he will always negotiate in the GATT round with the interests of all Europeans in mind, not just those of the producers, and that the consumer's interest in access to cheap and reliable textiles or cheap and reliable food is as much in his mind as is that valid interest of producers ?
Trods det, jeg har sagt, vil jeg nødig skabe det indtryk, at vi i Afrika ikke er taknemlige for den hjælp, vi modtager, eller at hjælpen har været nytteløs.
We stand by our belief that the one thing, i.e. gradual integration into the trading system, is not possible without the other.
Det er den langtfra! Det, jeg siger, er, at hvis både De og vi kunne forvalte denne hjælp mere omhyggeligt, kunne vi få bedre resultater ud af den.
My own experience of the talks to date leads me to think that there is beginning to be a little more understanding of this Commission position.
Fortsæt med at hjælpe os, men det, vi har mest brug for, er assistance af den art, der i sidste ende kan frigøre os for afhængighed og gøre en ende på det øjeblikkelige fænomen, at hjælp er en af Afrikas største vækstsektorer.
In any case the outcome of the talks has to be that the interests of the European Community's textile industry are safeguarded in the agreement in a reasonable and balanced manner.
