Selv om national selviskhed ikke bør drive værket, vil jeg alligevel slutte med at konstatere, at verdens økonomiens positive udvikling er helt afhængig af, at så mange som muligt af de dårligst stillede nationer kommer på fode.
Another major difficulty with the GSP is the almost haphazard way it is applied, which results in neither importer not exporter having any scope for planning, not even in the slightly longer term.
Det er vort ansvar i Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
Quotas ate used up in a matter of weeks and a useful trade partner often has to be put on hold for several months as a result.
Det kan ikke være rigtigt, at lande med et bruttonationalprodukt, der ligger himmelhøjt over et EF-lands, skal løbe med en ordning, der er skabt for at hjælpe de nationer, der er ringest stillede. Vi taler her om lande som Libyen, Rumænien, Saudi-Arabien, Singapore, Hongkong, Kuwait og De For enede Arabiske Emirater.
I should also like to warn against the GSP scheme becoming a political tool intended to safeguard European Community interests in certain parts of the world.
Det er udviklingsstøtte, vi her taler om, og ikke importstøtte.
When one considers how the Commission is once again refusing to include agricultural products in the list of preferences, one cannot help but fear the long arm of the big national farming organizations in the corridors of Brussels.
Jeg noterer mig også, at Kommissionen ignorerer Parlamentets krav om, at lande, der nyder godt af ordningen, skal respektere de internationale arbejdsbestemmelser. Jeg forstår ikke denne holdning.
We still lack an indepth evaluation study on the effects of the scheme, not only in the countries intended to benefit from it but also on the implications of GSP concessions in the donor countries of the European Community where neither competi tiveness nor the employment situation are supposed to suffer as a result.
Det skal ikke kunne betale sig at producere under vilkår, som er stærkt forringende eller ødelæggende for menneskers liv eller måske endda livsfarlige, eller på slavelignende vilkår.
The Commission has also failed to respond to the European Parliament's call for both sides of industry to be involved in implementing and monitoting the system.
Derfor er vort ubetingede krav om, at landene skal overholde de internationale arbejdsbestemmelser, både ret og rimeligt.
This means that the system will continue to operate without being in close contact with the labour market in the European Community and the GSP countries.
Tværtimod, bør det føre til, at vi fremmer dens styrkelse som svar på et universelt ansvar, som Fællesskabet ikke kan løbe fra.
However, this type of trade is of no value to the developing countries, not even if their exported raw materials benefit ftom the GSP.
Jeg vil også gerne advare imod, at GSP-ordningen bliver til et politisk instrument, som bare skal sikre EF's interesser i et bestemt område af verden.
That is why wc cannot exclude processed agricultural pro ducts; that is why we cannot exclude industrial goods and that is why the system is not good enough.
Vi er også generelt set enige i de forslag, der er stillet af ordføreren for Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde, og vore udtalelser, der er udarbejdet og vedtaget i REX-Udvalget, har blot til formål at opklare nogle tvivlsspørgsmål og underbygge nogle af de stillede ændringsforslag.
Although national self-interest should not be the overridingly important factor, I should still like to end by saying that the positive development of the world economy is totally dependent on helping as many as possible of the poorest nations to reach a stage at which they can help themselves. That is where the respons ibility of the European Community lies.
Vi konstaterer, at der er tale om en fuldstændig under udnyttelse, for ikke at sige manglende udnyttelse fra de landes side, som denne politik skulle være til størst gavn for.
This would have the additional effect of requiring the lessdeveloped countries to abide by the rules of international trade and also, for example, to satisfy the minimum requirements laid down by the ILO, since at the end of the day it will be these countries and their people that will be the principal beneficiaries.
I lyset af det første formål må det være helt klart — og det mener vi ikke fremgår af Kommissionens tekst — at ordningen bør være forbeholdt de mindst begunstigede lande, der indtil nu ikke har gjort megen brug af den, og at ordningen ikke længere skal gælde i de lande, der har en produktion per capita, der er højere end i nogle medlemslande, sådan som det netop er blevet sagt.
PORTO (LDR), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on External Economic Relations. — (PT) Mr President, the establishment of the generalized system of preferences, of which the European Economic Community was one of the pioneers back in 1971, constituted a form of cooperation with lesser-developed countries, which were nonetheless able to contribute in their fashion, through the promotion of exports, to improving the economic conditions and well-being of their peoples.
Ordføreren understreger flere gange, at de mindst udviklede — som det også fremgår af Kommissionens dokument — egentlig ikke har haft nogen interesse i ordningen, og at der ikke er sket nogen forbedring af industrialiseringen. Dette må siges at være en alvorlig situation.
To this extent, realization of the fact that not as much progress has been made as had initially been hoped for, coupled with a number of deviations from the original aims, must not have the effect of persuading us to reduce our commitment to its continued existence, especially as a more satisfactory alternative has yet to be proposed.
Verhagen (PPE). — (NL) Allerførst vil jeg takke ordføreren for hans betænkning.
In this context, we endorse the proposal made by the Commission to the Council with regard to guidelines for the nineties, stressing the need to maintain the GSP in an improved and stronger form.
Jeg er enig med fru Hemeldonck i, at spørgsmålet burde have indgået i GATT-debatten, for det ligger i direkte forlængelse heraf.
Our opinion, drawn up and adopted by the REX Committee, merely aims to clear up certain doubts and give further backing to some of these suggestions.
Når det gælder det andet formål, ville det være nyttigt at styrke nødvendigheden af at simplificere ordningen og give den større stabilitet, som omfalt af Kommissionen.
On this first point, it should be made absolutely clear — and we do not feel that this is so in the Commission's text — that the system should be more appropriately tailored to the requirements of the needier countries.
Dertil bør man garantere en anvendelsesperiode på mindst tre år og begrænse anvendelsen af udelukkelses-klausulen til særtilfælde, hvor der virkelig er tale om forstyrrelse af marked: Her er vi enige med ordføreren for Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde i hans forslag om at udvide ordningen til at omfatte alle varer generelt, inklusive produktion og forarbejdning af landbrugs produkter; da disse er de eneste produkter, som nogle af de ugunstigst stillede lande kan konkurrere med, kan man ikke forstå, hvorfor de ikke er medtaget.
It is clear that so far little use has been made by such countries of the system, althoug it has frequently been applied to other countries with higher per capita national products than those of Community Member States, as has already been pointed out.
Dette vil til syvende og sidst være gavnlig for landene selv og for deres befolkninger.
We really do not understand why this subject was not dealt with after the GATT debate.
For det første vil jeg sige, at GATT som sådan efter min mening giver de bedste muligheder for fremskridt i retning af at integrere udviklingslandene i den internationale samhandel.
It is a bit odd that we have this break, because it greatly reduces the interest in the subject.
Men vi må konstatere, at så længe der er toldmæssige barrierer i denne inter nationale handel, vil præferenceordningen fortsat være et nyttigt supplement.
I wish to thank the rapporteur for his excellent work and especially for his contribution at the GATT negoti ations in Brussels last week.
I denne forbindelse har jeg et spørgsmål til Kommissionen.
He has done a particularly enlightening job and we thank him.
Jo bedre resultater GATT-forhandlingerne giver, jo færre toldbarrierer der er, jo ringere vil systemets relative værdi være.
It is precisely those countries that are not coming up for their share, that cannot use the instrument.
Og så rejser det spørgsmål sig, hvorledes vi kan fremme eksporten fra den tredje verden.
The rapporteur emphasizes several times — as can also be seen from the Commission's document — that the leastdeveloped countries have actually had no interest in it and that industrialization has, moreover, in no way been improved.
Måske må man da søge andre veje for at gennemføre det mål, der er lagt for ordningen, nemlig at give udviklingslandene bedre adgang til EF-markedet.
This is very serious. Furthermore, we can also see that coverage by region, as opposed to by country, is not monitored and is not clearly controlled.
Deler Kommissionen denne mening, og hvorledes kan man gøre det i praksis?
We may well ask whether we can carry on like this and I think that in the Development Committee, we should examine what sort of industrial policy can be en couraged in the leastdeveloped areas and what remedies, apart from the existing ones, are possible.
Jeg forestiller mig bedre markedsundersøgeleser, produktudvikling og -tilpasning. ning.
Perhaps we can continue this debate if we ever have a clearer idea about the direction that GATT will eventually follow.
Van Hemeldonck (S). — (NL) Hr. formand, jeg vil først på min gruppes vegne fremsætte en bemærkning til dagsordenen. Dette er et emne, som Fælles kabet egentlig allerede har drøftet i ti år.
VERHAGEN (PPE). — (NL) Mr President, first of all I should like to compliment the rapporteur on his report.
Det har en helt klar forbindelse med debatten om GATT.
I agree with Mrs Van Hemeldonck that it should have been dealt with at the time of the GATT debate, as it clearly is a related field.
Vi forstår egentlig ikke, hvorfor dette spørgsmål ikke blev behandlet i tilknytning til GATT-debatten.
On the second point, it is worth emphasizing the need, as indicated by the Commission, to make the system simpler and more stable.
Jeg vil gerne takke ordføreren for hans udmærkede arbejdsdokument og for hans bidrag ved GATT-forhandlingerne i Bruxelles i sidste uge.
This could be done by ensuring that benefits were applied over a period of three years and by limiting the use of the suspension clause to exceptional cases of genuine market disturbance.
Jeg vil gerne høre fra Kommissionen, om den mener, at punkt 17 vil kunne skade de
I should like to say, firstly, that in my view, GATT itself is the best means of progress along the road to the
Verhagen mindre udviklede landes position, for hvis Kommissionen også er af den mening, må min gruppe stemme imod denne del af betænkningen.
I should like to know the Commission's opinion — whether it also feels that paragraph 17 could be detrimental to the position of the lessdeveloped countries, because if the Commission does share this view, my group will have to vote against this part of the report.
Milian, meellem of Kommissionen. — (EN) Hr. for mand, jeg beklager på vegne af min kollega, hr. Matutes, der har ansvaret for disse sager.
MILLAN, Member of the Commission. — Mr President, I apologize on behalf of my colleague, Mr Matutes, who is responsible for these matters.
På grund af ændringen af Parlamentets mødeplan for denne uge kan han ikke være til stede for at svare under denne forhandling, og han har bedt mig om at gøre det på sine vegne.
Because of the changes in the order of business this week in Parliament, he is not able to be here to reply to this debate and has asked me to do so on his behalf.
Kommissionen noterer med tilfredshed, at der i vid udstrækning hersker enighed mellem Kommissionen og Parlamentet om den generelle præferenceordnings fremtid, og jeg vil gerne takke hr. Christiansen for hans betænkning og for den støtte, som Parlamentet generelt har givet til Kommissionens forslag og til retningslinjerne for det næste årti, der blev offentlig gjort for nogle måneder siden.
Of course, it is part of the Commission's objective to see that their interests in particular are looked after. We draw a distinction between the poorest countries and those countries which are now in a much more positive stage of development and where the considetations which may have applied in the past are no longer completely relevant to the present situation — a point again made this afternoon and on which the Commission is in agreement.
politisk synspunkt. Jeg har en vis sympati for det, der er blevet sagt, nemlig at denne debat i nogle henseender godt kunne have været inkorporeret i den generelle debat om GATT og Uruguay-Runden.
I have some sympathy with the point that has been made, namely, that this is a debate which in some senses might well have been incorporated into the general debate on GATT on the Uruguay Round.
Alt hvad jeg kan sige i denne forbindelse er det samme, som hr. MacSharry tidligere her i eftermiddag har antydet, at skønt der er en del vigtige områder såsom landbrug, hvor vi ikke har gjort fremskridt, så er der sket væsentlige fremskridt på mange andre områder, i særdeleshed dem, der er af interesse for de mindst udviklede lande.
All that I can say here is that, as Mr MacSharry has indicated earlier this afternoon, although we did not make progress on some of the important issues such as agriculture, a good deal of progress was made on many other issues, particularly those which are of interest to the less developed countties.
Vi håber, at de fremskridt, der er sket, vil blive fulgt op, når vi genoptager drøftelsen, og at vi ikke vil vende tilbage til vor udgangsposition, men fastholde de forpligtelser, vi har påtaget os under de drøftelser, der fandt sted i sidste uge.
We hope that the progress that has been made will be picked up when the discussions resume and that we shall not go back to the initial position but will maintain the commitments that we made in the discussions that took place last week.
I denne forbindelse er vi særlig interesserede i fremskridt med hensyn til integrering af udviklingslandene i det multilaterale handelssystem, og i hvilken grad de mere udviklede iblandt dem — for at gentage noget, jeg allerede har sagt — åbner markederne for andre udviklingslande, i sær deleshed de mindst udviklede.
In that context we are especially interested in the progress in integrating the developing countries into the multilateral trading system and the degree to which the more advanced among them — to repeat a point that I have already made — open their markets to other developing countries, in particular the least developed.
Der hersker en høj grad af enighed mellem Kommissionen, som det kommer til udtryk i dens dokument, og den betænkning, vi drøfter her i eftermiddag, og jeg vil gentage, at vi i Kommissionen er meget glade for at have Parlamentets generelle støtte under behandlingen af denne meget komplicerede sag, som er og fortsat vil være af særlig interesse og værdi for de fattigste udviklingslande i verden.
The Commission is pleased to note that there is a wide consensus between the Commission and Parliament on the future of the system of generalized preferences, and I would like to thank Mr Christiansen for his report and for the support which Parliament generally has given to the proposals of the Commission and the guidelines for the new decade that were published some months ago.
Det var afgørende vigtigt for os at høre Kommissionens mening, men vi har endnu ikke fået noget svar. Kan vi få et svar?
It was essential fot us to know the Commission's view, and we have not learnt it from this reply.
For det første ville en erstatning af den nuværende præferenceordning med modulerede præferencer råde bod på nogle af systemets mest indlysende komplikationer og i høj grad opmuntre udviklingslandene til at gøre større brug af GSP — et mål, som er blevet nævnt af flere af talerne her i eftermiddag, og som Kommissionen naturligvis deler.
Of course there are criticisms of the present system but the criticism made by Parliament of the 20 years of the GSP's operation, and notably of the erosion of the preferential margin, should not make us unduly pessimistic about the value of this development oriented commercial policy instrument.
Det er det punkt, han taler om.
It is still a very necessary instrument.
Jeg vil gerne sige, at det er Kommissionens opfattelse, at det er principielt vanskeligt at indføre en sådan skelnen, som under alle omstændigheder kunne anfægtes juridisk.
To continue to play a useful role, however, the GSP must be completely overhauled to make it more attractive, less complex and more stable.
Jeg vil anmode min kollega, hr. Matutes, om at se på, hvad der er blevet, sagt, men jeg tror ikke, det er noget, der behøver at bekymre det ærede medlem i urimelig grad.
The Commission's proposals are designed to do just that, and Parliament's support is crucial for the successful implementation of this reform.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
I would just like to single out two aspects.
Det andet punkt drejer sig om reformen af reglerne for oprindelse, som jeg ved, ligger Parlamentet meget stærkt på sinde, og som vil hjælpe med til at lette adgangen til systemet, i særdeleshed for de mindst udviklede lande.
MILLAN, Member of the Commission. — Mr President, as I understand it paragraph 17 refers to a more equitable distribution of the advantages of the preference for the benefit of particular countries in Latin America.
Den nye ord ning vil ikke få konkret form med hensyn til tilbud dene om tilskud, før vi har kunnet vurdere resultaterne af Uruguay-Runden, både fra et teknisk og et
May I say that the Commission takes the view that in principle it is difficult to introduce such a scheme of discrimination
A3-262/90 af Musso for Udvalget om Regionalpolitik og Fysisk Planlægning om Kommissionens anden rapport om gennemførelsen af de integrerede Middelhavsprogrammer (IMP) i 1988
A3-262/90 by Mr Musso, on behalf of the Committee on Regional Policy and Regional Plan ning, on the second progress report by the Commission on the Integrated Mediterranean Programmes (IMP's) (SEC(89) 1665 final) ;
Endvidere har vi bemærket en forskel i gennemførelsen mellem Frankrig og Grækenland på den ene side og Italien på den anden side.
Moreover, we have seen a difference in the progress made in France and Greece on the one hand and Italy on the other.
Vi opfordrer Kommissionen til at undersøge sagen og til at finde de virkelige grunde til forskellen.
We are urging the Commission to take stock of the situation and see what are the real reasons for these differences.

A3-340/90 af Nicholson for Udvalget om Regionalpolitik og Fysisk Planlægning om den fjor tende årsberetning om EFRU's virksomhed i 1988
A3-340/90 by Mr Nicholson, on behalf of the Committee on Regional Policy and Regional Plan ning, on the fourteenth annual report (1988) on the activities of the ERDF;
Hvad de finansielle aspekter angår, gør vi opmærk som på, at bevillingsudnyttelsesgraden i perioden 1986-1988 for samtlige niogtyve IMP udgjorde 27% for forpligtelsesbevillinger, men kun 15% for betalingsbevillinger.
Lastly, on the financial aspects, we would point out that for all 29 IMPs, over the period from 1986 to 1988, 27 % of the commitment appropriations and only 15% of the payment appropriations were taken up.
Vi bemærker imidlertid, at udnyttelsesgraden for de særlige budgetposter i 1988 har været tilfredsstillende, og håber, at denne udnyttelsesgrad vil gøre det muligt at indhente forsinkelsen.
How ever, we note that the rate of utilization of the specific budget headings was generally good in 1988, and we hope that this rate will enable the delay to be made up.
Men vi påpeger over for Kommissionen, der for øvrigt selv siger det, at fuld udnyttelse af den fastsatte ramme vil kræve en betydelig fremskyndelse i anden fase, der strækker sig fra 1989 til 1993.
Nevertheless, we are drawing the Commission's attention to the fact, which it recognizes moreover, that if the allocation provided is to be fully utilized, there will have to be a considerable speeding-up in the second phase which runs from 1989 to 1993.
I denne forbindelse er det med ulålmodighed, at jeg afventer Kommissionens rapport for 1989, der sikkert snart vil foreligge.
In this context, I am looking forward with some impatience to the Commission's report on 1989, which no doubt will appear before long.
A3-264/90 af Calvo Ortega for Udvalget om Regionalpolitik og Fysisk Planlægning om udkast til meddelelse fra Kommissionen til medlems staterne (SEK(90) 1610 endel. — dok.

A3-264/90 by Mr Calvo Ortega, on behalf of the Committee on Regional Policy and Regional Planning, on the draft communication from the Commission to the Member States fixing the guidelines for the operational programmes which the Member States are invited to draw up within the framework of the Community initiative on services and data processing networks for regional develop ment (TELEMATIQUE) (SEQ90) 1610 final);
A3-263/90 af Alex Smith for Udvalget om Regionalpolitik og Fysisk Planlægning om udkast til meddelelse fra Kommissionen til medlemsstaterne (SEK(90) 1610 endel. — dok.

A3-263/90 by Mr Smith, on behalf of the Committee on Regional Policy and Regional Plan ning, on the draft communication from the Commission to the Member States setting out the guidelines for the operational programmes which the Member States are invited to draw up within the framework of a Community initiative concerning the preparation of undertakings within the perspective of the Single Market (PRISMA) ;
Hvad programmernes virkning angår, finder vi det uacceptabelt, at rapporten ikke reelt kan vurdere virkningen efter tre års arbejde.
As for the impact of the programmes as such, we feel it is unacceptable for the report not to make a proper appraisal of this impact after three years of operation.
Der er med andre ord tale om syvårs programmer, for hvis vedkommende Kommissionen efter tre års forløb siger: »Vi kan ikke vurdere virkningen«.
In other words, these are seven-year programmes, and after three years the Commission is saying to us: we can't evaluate the impact.
Dette argument kan accepteres efter første og andet år, men ikke efter det tredje år.
We believe that while this argument is valid for the first or second year, it no longer applies after the third.
For så er der virkelig grund til bekymring. Vi har endvidere gjort opmærksom på, at der ikke er gjort brug — eller rettere kun gjort meget ringe brug af EIB's lån.
Otherwise there really is something to worry about.
Her ser der ud til at foreligge et problem.
Here there does seem to be a problem.
