PHARE og TACIS sigter udelukkende mod at yde tredjelande i Øst- og Mellemeuropa teknisk bistand, og kun dette. Det er ikke tilfældet med MEDA-programmet. MEDA-programmeis originalitet ligger i. at det primært omfatter støtte til makroøkonomisk omstrukturering, til gennemførelse af' de nødvendige økonomiske reformer i Middelhavslandene med henblik på at
A positive factor, however, is that cultural cooperation is being envisaged for the first time in an agreement with a Maghreb country: this represents the start of a dialogue which will, I
etablere et frihandelsområde, og bevillingerne til MEDA går ikke igennem regeringerne, men direkte til de berørte sektorer i de forskellige lande.
Education and the Media when it delivered its opinion: this is the first time that a cultural clause has been included in an association agreement with a Maghreb country.
Endvidere ydes størstedelen af støtten til gennemførelse af projekterne og kun en meget begrænset del til teknisk bistand.
Previously, that has happened only in relation to countries of Eastern Europe or Latin America.
Barcelona-erklæringen er en akt. der er undertegnet af de femten europæiske lande og de lolv Middelhavstredjelande. og som etablerer et partnerskab lige fra begyndelsen. Der er således tale om to helt forskellige realiteter, der ikke har meget med hinanden at gøre.
Filippi (PPE), rapporteur. — (IT) Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the effect of the proposal put forward by the Commission on the common organization of the market in rice is that rice too will be facing tougher competition from third country products, so that it will have to compete still more strongly in terms of quality.
Når dette er sagt, erdet indlysende, at vi i forbindelse med MEDA-programmet vil bestræbe os på ikke at gentage de fejl. der er begået i forbindelse med PHARE- og TACIS-programmerne — cela va ele soi.
This proposal seeks to enable the sector to cope better with international competition also, in the light of the recent international trade agreements.
Ændringsforslag nr. 2 og 25 om Cypern og Malta forekommer os overflødige, da det af samme grund som ovenfor ikke er nødvendigt at etablere en juridisk forbindelse mellem forordningen og tidspunktet for indledningen af tiltrædelsesforhandlinger.
As you have pointed out. this new association agreement replaces the cooperation agreement of 1976 and the successive adjust ment protocols, and is of course of particular importance in that it is the first agreement to be signed with a Mediterranean country.
Ændringsforslag nr. 4 begrænser unødigt MEDA-programmets flerårige karakter, hvad angår de finansielle aspekter.
For that very reason, therefore, I would like to highlight the courage of the Tunisian authorities in having accepted the risk and honour of being the first country to sign.
Med hensyn lil ændringsforslag nr. 11. som omhandler synergi mellem strukturfondene og MEDA, er det Kommissionens opfattelse, at dette spørgsmål skal behandles sag for sag. og at det endnu er for lidligt at tage stilling lil det. da jeg endnu ikke sammen med min kollega fru Monika Wulf-Mathies har fastlagt el generelt kriterium om synergi mellem INTERREG-programmet og MEDA-programmet.
Naturally, the aim is to bring a new dimension to our relations with our Mediterranean partners, in this case Tunisia, and to participate, at a bilateral and regional level, in the development of this region, in a climate of peace, security and stability.
Angående ændringsforslag nr. 14 foretrækker Kommissionen en mere fleksibel formulering, som undgår at nævne navne på konkrete organisationer.
From the point of view of analysing the sector and this particular branch, the Commission has done a good job; the same cannot be said, in my view and that of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, of the proposals, some of which we do not find at all convincing.
Hvorfor Den Arabiske Liga og hvor for ikke Den Arabiske Maghreb Union, osv.?
The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development focused on a series of issues, and three in particular.
Kommissionen ville foretrække en meget bredere formulering, men har ingen indvendinger mod selve indholdet.
The first concerns the Commission proposals on the methods suggested for intervention in relation to the product in question, namely rice.
Det vigtigste er, at et land kan brødføde sin befolkning, men ikke nødvendigvis alene på grundlag af den nationale produktion. Hvis dette princip udbredtes til hele verden, ville enhver handel forsvinde, og man ville vende tilbage til et autarkisk system, hvilket efter Kommissionens mening ikke er acceptabelt.
We reject that proposal because it causes unnecessary bureaucratic burdens, involves unnecessary production costs and burdens producers with costs which could safely be avoided by retaining the previous intervention system.
Hvad angår ændringsforslag nr. 17, har jeg tidligere tilkendegivet, at Kommissionen ikke ser nogen problemer i at give Parlamentet alle de nødvendige informationer.
The second point on which the Committee on Agriculture dwelt particularly concerns penalties on Member State producers should they exceed the maximum guaranteed area laid down in the proposal for the common organization of the market.
Ifølge ændringsforslag nr. 24 skal forordningen tages op til revision efter fem år. Rådet taler rent faktisk om ti år med en eventuel revisionsklausul efter fem år.
Respect for democratic principles and human rights are a key element in it.
Hvad angår ændringsforslag nr. 26, er det Kommissionens opfattelse, at dette spørgsmål er løst med artikel 138 B i traktaten og de deri indeholdte henvisninger, som er Kommissionens grundlov, og derfor ser jeg ingen mening i at uddybe dette spørgsmål i nærværende forordning.
A very heavy penalty on producers is being proposed; as compared with other branches of the agricultural sector, this is something completely new which we consider to be unaccept able, and that is why we are asking for a substantial change to this intervention procedure and the penalty system, by restoring a proper balance and establishing a mathematical relation ship between the percentage overrun of the ceiling and the percentage reduction.
Ændringsforslag nr. 22 forekommer os ikke at være gennem førligt på grund af det tidsmæssige forhold mellem de årlige budgetforslag og de ligeledes årlige evalueringer.
The main elements of the agreement are as follows: regular political dialogue and the gradual creation of a free-trade area for industrial products and services, linked to reciprocal agricultural concessions, in accordance with the World Trade Organization's rules.
Den aftale, der i øjeblikket forhandles i Rådet — men jeg kan ikke give et svar herpå, da det er uvist, hvad der vil ske i januar — er en erklæring, som jeg har indføjet, om at Kommissionen hvert halve år informerer Rådet om alle forhold vedrørende offentlige udbud, byggekontrakter. leverancer og teknisk bistand for hvert land og modtagende virksomhed.
We do not endorse it because it adopts as its yardstick a quality criterion that relates to production outside the Community and is difficult to achieve in some European zones for objective reasons bound up with climate and geology.
MEDA-programmet skal lige fra begyndelsen satse på klarhed og gennemskuelig hed.
We do not agree because applying rigid quality measures also means penalizing producers, as is envisaged by cutting the intervention price.
Jeg vil ikke udelukke, at også Europa-Parlamentet vil blive orienteret og naturligvis også Revisionsretten, som Kommissionen også nu arbejder sammen med på dette område.
We are proposing only incentives to improve quality, bearing in mind also that this is a sector in which the Community has spent very little and which has so far yielded only positive results in terms of return on the Community budget.
Men det vil ske på halvårlig basis.
We therefore fail to see why a sector that has been a 'giver' should be penalized as compared with others.
Endelig accepterer Kommissionen ændringsforslag nr. 33. men finder dog. at det snarere hører hjemme i 5. betragtning i præamblen.
Finally, for the European Union, it essentially involves overseeing an ambitious programme for the updating and modernization of the Tunisian economy.
Ændringsforslag nr. 23 kan efter Kommissionens mening risikere at udvande forbindelserne mellem Den Europæiske Unions institutioner, og ændringsforslag nr. 29 og 31 volder problemer, fordi det ville indebære en foruddiskontering af dialogen med Middelhavslandene om indholdet i de vejledende programmer.
The proposals of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development relate mainly to those three points, but we have put forward ideas on other aspects also.
Jeg beder Dem undskylde, at jeg udbreder mig lidt mere om dette, men det er vigtigt at forklare det ordentligt.
We are proposing more objective criteria for determining the maximum guaranteed areas and agronomic yield, taking as a yardstick the last
Problemet er, at programmeringen kun er gennemført for Tunesien.
The vote will be taken tomorrow at 10 a.m.
Marín frem til på regeringskonferencen, da det vil blive indarbejdet i traktaten.
Filippi case, that the chosen price cuts, compensatory payments per hectare and proposed import tariffs are in line with the GATT Agreement and that the rice market of the new Member States can be absorbed into that of the EU without difficulty under the current GATT system?
Jeg forstår udmærket hr. Barons synspunkt, men det er urealistisk at tro. at man på grundlag af en finansiel og teknisk forordning kan ændre resultatet af det. der måtte blive aftalt på regeringskonferencen. Det ville Rådet ganske enkelt ikke acceptere.
marketing year and the last three years, introducing, as compared with the Commission proposal, corrective mechanisms which take better account of the very serious disadvantage resulting from drought in countries such as Spain and Portugal.
Hvis Kommissionens forhandlingspartner på for hånd kender slutresultatet af forhandlingerne, kan jeg forsikre Dem, at ingen kommissær, uanset hvor vis han er, vil være i stand til at forhandle.
It shows that Parliament is able to establish points of solidarity within the European Union.
Der er imidlertid en mulighed — for at der ikke skal herske nogen misforståelse — nemlig hr. Malcolm Rifkinds transaktionsændringsforslag, som jeg mener kan være en løsning, ikke i forbindelse med MEDA-rammen, men generelt i den forstand at selve beslutningen træffes med enstemmighed, men gen nemførelsesforanstaltningerne afgøres med kvalificeret flertal med Europa-Parlamentets deltagelse. Det kunne være en løsning.
On the basis ofthat assessment also, the European Union will have substantially to change its proposal and avoid trying to use the COM in rice as an experiment for new measures and new agricultural policy criteria which have, in fact, to be discussed more widely, within a framework that we shall have jointly to define.
Programmeringen af MEDA er således være endemålet for alle de forhandlinger, der i øjeblikket er i gang.
Fantuzzi (PSE). — (IT) Madam President, a famous country man of mine remarked that the tests were never-ending.
Hvad ville der komme ud af at røbe, hvor meget MEDA koster, og hvad det enkelte land vil få ud af det?
Rice was not included in the CAP reform, and rightly so: there was no reason to consider it a problematic sector like the others included in the 1992 reform, given that it is not a branch generally in surplus, it does not involve particularly high costs for the Community budget and has had only exceptionally to resort to Community intervention.
For vore forhandlingspartnere på den anden side af Middelhavet ville det være helt fint, men ikke for Den Europæiske Union, da den i så fald ikke ville kunne forhandle noget.
The problems began after the GATT agreement because a 'ceiling' price was set that cannot be recovered from imported products, failing to take account of the fact that the European Union produces rough rice but imports semiprocessed rice — without therefore applying a processing coefficient, which in fact meant a cut in Community protection in comparison with what would have been more accurate and fair application of the GATT rules.
Under alle omstændigheder kan jeg forsikre hr. Baron og hr. McMillan-Scott, at Rådet, som det er i dag, kun accepterer beslutninger truffet med enstemmighed.
That change in the Commission's approach is also needed to some extent to remedy the damage caused to imports of foreign rice by the recent agreements with North America: those agreements are striking a fatal blow at European production.
Hvis selve beslutningen træffes med enstemmighed og gennemførelsesforanstaltningerne med kvalificeret flertal, vil det være et ret så væsentligt fremskridt.
This a sector in which there are no surpluses: the circumstances are therefore right for us to safeguard it.
Det var alt, mine damer og herrer. Mange tak for Deres opmærksomhed.
Let me end by thanking all honourable Members for the work they have done with me in committee and those involved thus far in the COM in rice.
Barón Crespo (PSE), ordfører. — (ES) Fru formand, jeg takker kommissæren for hans indlæg.
It therefore seems to me that there is at any rate a determination to retain protection here.
Det var rent faktisk ikke særlig systematisk med hensyn til gennemgangen af ændringsforslagene, men det havde et grundlæggende politisk indhold.
However, as Mr Filippi has already said — and I congratulate him on his excellent work — there are two fundamental issues: the first is that, in some areas of its application, the reform treats this sector as an experimental area in relation to the last three years of application of the CAP reform.
Hvad jeg beklager i forhold til hr. Marin er, at forventningens glæde ikke modsvares af nydelsen ved at lytte til ham.
It is my belief that the sector can cope with some of those things, but is would be fair if that approach were applied globally to all cereal and grain crops and not just one of them.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0298/95) af Caligaris for Udvalget om Udenrigs-, Sikker heds- og Forsvarsanliggender om forslag til Rådets og Kom missionens afgørelse om indgåelse af Euro-Middelhavsaftalen om oprettelse af en associering mellem De Europæiske Fællesskaber og deres medlemsstater på den ene side og Den Tunesiske Republik på den anden side.
Sonneveld (PPE), draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on External Economic Relations. — (NL) Madam President, Commissioner, under the Commission's programme it is now the tum of the rice sector to be reviewed as part of the reform of the common agricultural policy.
Jeg vil kort kommentere det sidste punkt i hr. Marins indlæg — som hr. Marin selv redegjorde så indgående for.
The Commission's proposals are logical and altogether consistent with the chosen market scheme in the cereals sector.
Parlamentet har på ingen måde til hensigt at intervenere i Kommissionens politik og forhandlingstaktik.
Their results will also be largely consistent with this.
Men når situationen er normaliseret, kan jeg ikke se, at en redegørelse — som kan være i form af en oversigt eller en kommentar til budgettet, — i længden kan skade budgettet.
The European Union product will be made more competitive in terms of market prices by the import price, in that the intervention price will fall by 15% as against 30% in the case of cereals, and that EU rice growers will receive a compensatory payment per hectare without having to be part of a set-aside programme.
På et enkelt punkt, ændringsforslag nr. 16, vil jeg insistere og anmode kommissæren om at genoverveje det sammen med Rådet, da sigtet hermed er at give Parlamentet mulighed for at deltage i den årlige debat om den politiske beretning, som Kommissionen skal forelægge Rådet.
The former will be met out of the margin for agricultural spending in the European Union budget and the loss of the levy will be covered by own resources income. The total extra cost will be more than 170 million ECU in the year 2000.
I modsat fald vil Parlamentet forblive marginaliseret, og i dag gav Parlamentet jo en særdeles klar melding i forbindelse med afstemningen om toldunionen med Tyrkiet, og det er jo det samme problem, der afspejles i dette ændringsforslag.
The EU is a net importer, but in the case of rice of which the EU is the biggest producer, we are a net exporter and under the Uruguay Round export refunds for rice must thus be cut by 36% over six years and the quota qualifying for support must be cut by 21%.
McMillan-Scott (PPE). - (EN) Fra formand, det fremgik ikke helt klart, om Kommissionen havde accepteret ændringsforslag nr. 26, som går i samme retning som ændringsforslag nr. 16: Med andre ord involvere Parlamentet i processen med at gøre dette betinget af menneskerettighederne og de etniske og religiøse mindretals rettigheder. Jeg ville være meget glad. hvis Kommissionen kunne opklare dette.
The second issue is that, following the reform or at least before it is completed, we have new negotiations with the Americans in which concessions that are not always well-founded are being made, either for the further duty-free quota, consequent on enlargement, or for the import refund system which reintroduces the principle of batch pricing which the European Union has so far said it does not endorse.
Jeg tror, det stod på sidste side i Deres tale, hr. Marin, hvis det kan hjælpe Dem.
Were we not told that the GATT agreement would bring a period of certainty and stability?
Marin, næstformand i Kommissionen. — (ES) Jeg kan ikke i øjeblikket acceptere dette ændringsforslag, hr. McMillan-Scott. Ikke fordi jeg har noget imod det, men fordi dette spørgsmål skal behandles på regeringskonferencen.
Fraga Estévez (PPE). — (£5) Madam President, the proposal for reform of the common organization of the market in rice is the Commission's way of attempting to mitigate the wretched situation prevailing in the rice sector, in terms of both production and processing, since the Uruguay Round agree ments, as the Agriculture Council was forced to recognize in December 1994.
Spørgsmålet om sanktionsordninger i hele afsnittet om eksterne relationer vil blive taget op, herunder hvem der skal træffe beslutningerne og hvordan. Det er en debat, der endnu står helt åben.
This situation will get worse, even worse if that is possible, as a result of the concessions made by the European Union in the face of the United States' aspirations to increase its excise-free export quota by 64,000 tonnes, which is absolutely outrageous.
Men hertil kommer yderligere, at den følger kort tid efter afslutningen af Barcelona-konferencen, hvorpå man udtrykkelig indledte Euro-middelhavspolitikken, og derfor passer ind i den hermed forbund ne strategi med at lade bilaterale aftaler indgå i en samlet interventionsramme.
The Committee on External Economic Relations is happy with that, though the idea does not seem to have the support of the Committee on Agriculture.
Et af disse erdet politiske og sikkerhedsmæssige partnerskab, der tillige indebærer respekt for fundamentale værdier, som f.eks. menneskerettighederne og demokratiet.
The rice sector stands to gain quite a lot, relatively speaking, from a well-targeted and transparent system of imports and exports, not least because there is a significant rice processing industry in the EU which draws part of its supplies from third country imports.
I denne forbin delse kan bemærkes, at det tunesiske demokrati endnu ikke i fuldt omfang yder beskyttelse af de grundlæggende rettigheder, som eren kostelig kulturarv i Den Europæiske Union, men i stedet fremtræder som et kontrolleret demokrati.
Import rules and other government measures in the rough rice market must be logically parallel to the system of import rales for processed rice.
I denne forbindelse bemærker man repressive foranstaltninger, der for kort tid siden er truffet over for visse ledende politikere i modstrid med den prisværdige åbning af regeringen, der for nylig har fundet sted over for oppositionen.
The system of ceiling prices for imports, modelled on the cereals sector must give equal protection to both activities, namely primary production and processing.
Men det er også sandt, at Tunesien har fælles grænse med Algeriet — der endnu
Can the Commission confirm that this will be the
Jeg kan forsikre Dem, at jeg i Kommissionen gør mig til talsmand for det synspunkt, som forfægtes af Parlamentet, men det er nødvendigt at vente og se, hvilken løsning man finder
By way of a general comment, I must say that the Commission's proposal is discriminatory as regards the cereals sector, and there is no good explanation for this when one takes into
Caligaris riode har været pionerer for fremme af disse initiativer i den sydlige del af Middelhavet.
Fraga Estévez period that may be considered for determining the maximum guaranteed Community area. This is in line with what has already happened in the cereals sector.
er plaget af en meget alvorlig indre krise — og at dette fører til, at man garderer sig mod lignende former for undergravende virksomhed.
account the very modest cost which the sector entails for the Community budget, since, as the Commission itself recognizes in its report, the costs are very limited — some one hundred million Ecus between 1987 and 1990, a figure which was reduced to 22 million Ecus in 1994.1 think that this is a point to consider when we hear voices raised in protest at the increase in costs owing to the proposed reform.
I øvrigt synes afstemningerne ved valgene i Algeriet til fordel for regeringen i øjeblikket at retfærdiggøre, omend ikke legitimere, en ikke mindre streng anvendelse af de fundamentale tilsikrede rettigheder i kriseøjeblikke.
Regardless of this, we are entirely in agreement with Mr Filippi, since it offers a much more suitable response to the various problems raised in the sector.
Hovedformålet med denne aftale mellem Den Europæiske Union og Tunesien, der skal træde i stedet for de aftaler om EKSF­produkter, der blev truffet i 1976, er gennem en styrkelse og uddybelse af båndene mellem underskriverne og en regelmæssig politisk dialog at skabe et klima for fred, sikkerhed og stabilitet, der gør det muligt at arbejde på en harmonisk økonomisk og social udvikling i området.
To seek to compare the quality of paddy rice — for which the intervention price was set — with the quality standard of semiprocessed or processed products, which are imported, tums the basic logic underlying the conclusion of the GATT agreements completely on its head: hence, maximum price for the imported product equal to the intervention price, increased by 80 per cent for Indica varieties and 88 per cent for Japónica varieties.
Hvorom alting end er, er den politiske stabilitet i Tunesien en positiv realitet, hvortil svarer en økonomisk situation, der er i udvikling.
Despite the reference period provided for by the Commission, the area under cultivation in just one of our rice-producing regions — Andalusia — was 15,000 hectares below normal in 1992 as a result of this drought.
Denne har foruden at være en kilde til stabilitet i Maghreb været og er fortsat et bolværk mod de fundamenta­listiske strømninger mellem dette og Machrek og bidrager betydeligt til sikkerheden i området.
As regards intervention, it is hard to understand the modifications to the system, which will render it practically inoperable in a sector in which this mechanism has almost never had to be called upon.
Aftalen er tidsbegrænset og bygger på principperne om gensidighed og partnerskab med klar fremhævelse af den grundlæggende betydning af overholdelsen af menneskerettig­hederne og de demokratiske principper.
As regards penalties, I wholly agree with what Mr Filippi said because, moreover, the severe penalties you are proposing could have the effect of wiping out the aid provided for, since no maximum limit has been set for these penalties either.
