Udviklingslandene skal involveres direkte i forhandlingerne om aftalen.
In the OECD each state negotiates on its own behalf and, in this way, the US seeks to undermine the solidarity between the states of the Union.
Det er anbefalelsesværdigt, at for handlingerne i fremtiden gennemføres inden for rammen af verdenshandelsorganisationen, og at MIA aktiveres i henhold til verdenshandelsorganisationens principper. Tvistighedsproceduren skal være mere ligevægtig, så også værtslandet får mulighed for at klage over investorerne. rerne.
On the other hand, if the Union grants Sir Leon Brittan a mandate to negotiate this matter within the framework of the WTO, which is what we want, this man date must include the exception clauses, for example the cultural exception that the Baladur government fought so hard to obtain in 1994, along with the other clauses that we do not want to retain.
I øvrigt mener jeg stadigvæk, at den multilaterale investeringsaftale skal bringes på plads så hurtigt som muligt.
The position of the UPE Group is that negotiations should continue within the framework of the WTO.
En sidste bemærkning: Den franske regering er en suveræn regering.
Kreissl-Dörfler (V). - (DE) Mr President, the Prime Minister, Mr Jospin, chose the only correct option last week in announcing that France was to withdraw from the OECD negotiations on the MAI.
Det er muligt, at den lader sig trænge op i en krog af de grønne, det kan den gøre, som den vil.
As rapporteur on the le gal framework for the MAI, I am extremely pleased by this, Mr Kittelmann.
Men i sidste ende kan den som industrination slet ikke komme uden om at bekende sig klart og tydeligt til, hvad vi øn sker i fællesskab.
The European Parliament's resolution in March established clearly that the draft agreement not only has serious shortcomings, but that it even goes completely in the wrong direction in many areas, because it gives priority to the rights of investors over everything else, for instance.
Derfor ville det glæde mig, hvis vi grupperne imellem kunne tale noget mere sindigt og roligt om, hvordan det gøres på den bedste måde.
We therefore urged that the agreement should not be signed in this form. The Commission's an swer to this was ¿certainly incredibly disappointing.
De Clercq (ELDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, med den multilaterale investeringsaftale vil man øge friheden for internationale investeringer, beskytte dem og skabe en tvistmekanisme mellem regeringer og investorer. Det er alt i alt en positiv ting, mener jeg, af flere grunde.
Yet we have seen the effect of Parliament's resolution, of the widespread international mobilisation of hundreds, if not thousands, of citizens' interest groups, non-governmental organisations and trade unionsan Europe and worldwide, Mr Rübig, and the same applies to the sound report pro duced by Mrs Lalumière for the French Government, and to the important signals given by the Greens in France.
Guinebertière (UPE). - (FR) Hr. formand, i løbet af de seneste ti år er stigningen i direkte investeringer sket to gange hurtigere end stigningen i verdenshandelen. Denne konstatering vedrører alle produkter og berører alle økonomiske sektorer, hvor der, siden starten af 1990'erne, har eksisteret en idé om en multilateral aftale om investeringer eller en MIA.
Moreau (GUE/NGL). - (FR) Mr President, I have noted that the Commission persists in supporting the philosophy behind the MAI, according to which private investors have all the rights, the states have all the duties and all countries are subject to US domination.
For det første kommer der en ende på de mere end 1.800 bilaterale aftaler vedrørende udenlandske investeringer.
This draft treaty has considerably mobilised progressive forces and leaders in our countries, and this has paid off.
Det skal føre til en ramme med større retssikkerhed, altså til en forøgelse af investeringsformlen, hvilket igen fører til større økonomisk vækst og velfærd.
Commissioner, I would like you to withdraw the pejorative re marks you made in relation to the French Government.
MIA omfatter beskyttelse af investorernes rettigheder og sikring af for deres driftsregler.
This farreaching decision is a noteworthy example for any government concerned about its sovereignty.
Men de fremsatte forslag respekterer ikke den kulturelle undtagelse, som Europa har kæmpet for i GATT-aftalerne.
But its success should not lead us to lower our guard.
De respekterer ikke de integrationsprocesser, der anvendes af Unionen til den gradvise optagelse af de øst- og centraleuropæiske tande i det europæiske indre marked.
The MAI should not simply be replaced by a newer version inspired by the same principles, such as the PET, which you, Sir Leon Brittan, negotiated without a mandate in London on 18 May, and which to me amounts at the very least to an abuse of power.
De respekterer heller ikke de sociale og miljømæssige standarder, som Unionen kræver eller medlemsstatemes suveræne ret til at fast sætte disse.
France has already stated that it was in no way bound by these negotiations.
Endelig vil denne aftale gennemtvinge en an erkendelse af amerikanske love, hvis blinde gennemførelse vi i øvrigt forkaster.
I would therefore like to ask the following question, and this time I would like an answer; what use is a declaration that has been concluded by one Commissioner who has not been granted a man date to do so by the Member States?
For det andet forekommer det mig logisk, at en multinational aftale om handel komplementeres med en multinational aftale om investeringer. Handel og investeringer er knyttet nært sammen.
Sir Leon Brittan, you now have clear evidence that Euro pean politicians, European governments and European civil society do not share your line on free trade!
Cui bono: hvem har fordel heraf?
Mr Jospin rightly said last week that the MAI cannot be re formed.
For det første de multinationale selskaber. Og hvorfor ikke?
That is why it also makes no sense to transfer it to the WTO in the near future, because the WTO is any thing but democratic, and is urgently in need of reform it self.
Har de da ikke ret til lige behandling sådan som al mindelige borgere?
Developing countries would be overlooked once again, with disastrous consequences for them.
Altså ret til beskyttende foranstaltninger og erstatning i tilfælde af ekspropriationer eller andre ejendomsberøvende forholdsregler?
Nevertheless, one thing is clear - pay attention now, ladies and gentlemen -, we need an international agreement to regulate and supervise investments, the number of which has increased and is increasing by leaps and bounds.
Men også udvik lingslandene har gavn af denne aftale.
How ever, the crucial issues are: who takes part in the negotiations?
Investeringer i ud landet skaber job, der ellers ikke ville være blevet etableret.
Are weaker parties granted an equal right to a say in the matter?
Endvidere medfører væksten i de nye eksportsektorer, der drives frem af udenlandske investeringer, bl.a. af multinationale selskaber, spill over- virkninger for hele økonomien, Dette bekræftes af kendsgerningerne.
Are all those parliaments affected, including the European Parliament, granted power of codecision, and what is in it afterwards? This is really crucial.
Et enkelt eksempel, lønstigningerne i Taiwan og Sydkorea.
That is why this agreement should not lower environmental and social standards.
Denne positive udvikling er en direkte følge af investeringerne.
You always place emphasis on the developing countries yet they were not even at the negotiating table.
Der findes naturligvis misforhold, men de har intet at gøre med investeringsaftalen.
We need to recognise the sovereignty of states in the choices they make in relation to development and their social, cultural and fiscal policies.
Der findes naturligvis lande, der for at tiltrække investeringer ikke bekymrer sig om sociale normer eller miljønormer.
It is not American or Japanese multinationals that should lead the world, but govern ments that have been elected by the people.
Disse lande har på den an den side ikke brug for denne aftale, fordi det for det meste drejer sig om diktaturstater.
The rejection of liberalism and a desire for change were expressed during the last elections held in France, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany.
Løsningen er således ikke at
The European Union and global
Inden for hvilke rammer skal man så videreføre disse for handlinger?
Sainjon (ARE). - (FR) Mr President, the MAI as formulated by the OECD is dead.
På OECD-niveau forhandler hver stat i sit eget navn, og USA forsøger således at ødelægge solidariteten mellem EU-landene.
Let us not beat around the bush or waste time with a text that has lost all credibility.
Guinebertière nem OECD prøver at tage det tilbage, de har givet i for­bindelse med GATT­aftalerne og forsøger at ødelægge vores sociale og miljømæssige rammer med henblik på at bevæge sig mod en stadig mere total liberalisme?
Sainjon being defended (cultural exceptions, high social and environmental standards, unacceptable extraterritorial legislation).
Lad os fortsætte inden for WTO, det er Gruppen Union for Euro­pas holdning.
These initiatives have in my opinion contributed to a significant shift in position for some Member States, including France, and of course I welcome this.
Jeg minder om, at den 11. marts anmo­dede vores Parlament regeringerne om ikke at acceptere MIA i dens nuværende form.
The definition of a clear regulatory framework along with complete and harmonised rules would indeed be very use ful.
Efter en udsættelse af forhandlingerne på 6 måneder har den franske regering for sit vedkom­mende skønnet, at denne aftale ikke var til at reformere og har meddelt, at Frankrig ikke genoptager forhandlingerne om MIA.
Consequently, a number of Member States think that negotiations should be resumed but on a completely different basis and within the appropriate framework, one that allows participation of all parties concerned.
Jeg ville ønske, hr. kommissær, at De ville trække den nedladende holdning, De har givet udtryk for med hensyn til den franske regering, tilbage.
This is certainly not a touchy reaction, Commissioner.
Men aktionens succes må ikke føre til, at man slækker på årvågenheden.
But how many other agreements of this type are concluded by the OECD to then be rendered inapplicable?
Frankrig har allerede oplyst, at det ikke under nogen omstændigheder var forpligtet af denne forhandling.
People who are doubtless very competent but perhaps a little too confident, to the extent that they take over from the political of ficials and make the decisions that they are supposed to make.
Derfor stiller jeg spørgsmålet, og denne gang ønsker jeg et svar: Hvilken betydning kan en aftale, der er indgået af en kommissær uden mandat fra medlemstaterne, have?
As a result, this type of institution finds itself in a situation in which technocracy prevails over politics and in fact over democracy itself.
Drag konsekvenserne af det, begrav den multilate­rale investeringsaftale, det vil sige, læg den ad acta.
The debate calls for negotiations to be carried out within the WTO and not the OECD.
Jospin sagde sidste uge meget rigtigt, at denne multilate­rale investeringsaftale ikke kan reformeres.
But the rules of the WTO -let us not forget - do not take into account the social and environmental concerns so dear to our peoples.
Derfor giver det heller ingen mening at overdrage den til WTO med det første. WTO er nemlig alt andet end demokratisk og har selv et udtalt behov for reformering.
We shall therefore once again have to be extremely vigilant: the Council must be very precise in the way it draws up the new mandate that it will grant the Commission, and we in the European Parliament and the national parliaments must monitor its implementation rigorously so that in the long term investment flows benefit all our populations.
Udviklingslandene får for tiden endnu en gang en lang næse dér, med fatale følger for dem.
This is why I personally question the*role of the OECD and think that today we should no longer hesitate to call its very existence into question.
Alligevel står én ting klart ­ og pas nu på, mine herrer ­ vi har brug for et internationalt regelsæt til regulering og kontrol af investeringerne, som er steget og vokset eksplosivt.
You will be aware, Mr President, that the Chateau de la Muette in Paris, where the organisation has its headquarters, has become rather like the Bastille at the end of the 18th century, in other words a symbol that has lost its purpose.
De afgørende spørgsmål er jo: Hvem deltager i forhandlingerne?
I myself strongly believe that the dissolution of the OECD should be ac companied by a strengthening of the WTO.
Får de svageste parter en lige­berettiget medbestemmelsesret?
It is within this organisation, and no other, that this type of debate on investments should take place.
Har alle berørte parla­menter inklusive Europa­Parlamentet medbestemmelses­ret, og hvad står der bagefter i regelsættet?
But if we want to be as efficient as possible - and here I am specifically referring to the millennium negotiations - we should consider a more democratic way of monitoring the WTO.
Den skal foreskrive po­litisk styring af økonomien og gøre demokratisk kontrol til normen. Meddel venligst det i Paris, Sir Leon.
This attempt was temporarily un successful due to an indiscretion in Canada, which attempted to eliminate national, social and environmental legislation that had been secured previously by years of legal cases.
Når De altid fremhæver udviklingslandene: De varjo slet ikke med ved forhandlingsbordet.
This is why I would like Parliament to agree to create a powerful committee, one which is fully involved in mon itoring the work of the WTO, along the lines of the system already in operation in the US Senate.
Læs dog venligst først teksterne!
Once again Mr President, this should take place in the WTO and nowhere else.
Alle nye for­handlinger skaj foregå på et helt nyt grundlag i andre ram­mer end OECD, som omfatter de rigeste lande.
The structure of the MAI programme has made every democrat aware of how quickly fundamental democratic rights can be lost.
Man må anerkende staternes suverænitet i deres valg med hensyn til udvikling og social­, kultur­og skattepolitik. Det bør ikke være de multinationale amerikanske eller japanske selskaber, der styrer verden, men folkevalgte regeringer.
We are facing a large-scale redistribution throughout the world.
Forkastelsen af liberalismen og viljen til ændring er kom­met til udtryk ved de seneste valg i Frankrig, Storbritan­nien, Sverige og Tyskland.
This is a system that is bound to go wrong, and is already doing só to a degree, and one that leads to mass unemployment and widespread poverty in favour of a small number of people.
Dette skal tages i betragtning med hensyn til Den Europæiske Union og verdensafta­lerne, ellers er der risiko for, at befolkningerne forkaster disse.
The MAI was an instrument that aimed to remove even the minimal residual risk from this speculation, and to un dermine the remaining sovereignty of the nation states.
Sainjon (ARE). ­ (FR) Hr. formand, MIA, som den blev udarbejdet af OECD, er død.
You are unsure, and that is why you feel the need to interrupt.
Kreissl­Dörfier (V). ­ (DE) Hr. formand, premiermini­ster Jospin gjorde sidste uge det eneste rigtige. Han for­kyndte Frankrigs udtrædelse af OECD­forhandlingerne om en multilateral investeringsaftale.
I would like to welcome all parliamentary and extra-parliamentary initiatives, including Mr Lannoye's initiative, in which I am involved; these have mobilised a large part of the European political community against a draft treaty that is both unreasonable and unamendable.
Som ordfører for ΜΙΑ­retten glæder det mig overordentlig meget, hr. Kit­
The way it has been drawn up would, in practice, have prevented major European interests and specific characteristics from
Her tænker jeg f.eks. på skibsbyggeriet. Umulige at gennemføre fordi de er ud­arbejdet af folk, der er fuldstændig afskåret fra realite­terne.
Mutin (PSE). - (FR) Mr President, the MAI can be re duced to a simple formula: multinationals have all the rights and the states have all the duties.
Det er uden tvivl kompetente folk, men måske ofte folk, der er for selvsikre, og det i en sådan grad, at de op­fatter sig selv som politiske ansvarlige og træffer beslut­
However, at a time when some multinationals have bigger budgets than some Member States of the European Union, I do not think it is the multinationals that need protection, as Mr De Clercq proposed.
Saiqjon qjon ninger, der bør træffes af politikere. Konsekvensen er, at den slags institutioner kommer ud på et sidespor, hvor teknokratiet fjerner dem fra politik og i sidste ende fra de­mokratiet.
Mutin the social conditions on offer are likely to be better than average.
Vi, Europa­Parlamentet og de nationale parlamenter, bør være ved dens side for omhyg­geligt at kontrollere gennemførelsen således, at investe­ringsstrømmen på langt sigt går i en retning, der er til for­del for vores befolkninger.
As it was the cultured men and women in France who Immediately took action to preserve the cultural exception, it very quickly became clear that this MAI affected every area and that, had the agreement been signed,-a national parliament would not in future be able to adopt a text that was not in line with the provisions of the MAI.
Jeg er personligt overbe­vist om, at opløsningen af OECD nødvendigvis bør følges op af én styrkelse af WTO.
All the more so if a renegotiated MAI, instead of enshrining non-discrimination, were to impose higher requirements on foreign companies than on domestic ones - which is what some critics seem to want.
Kronberger (NI). ­ (DE) Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, ærede kolleger, først forsøgte man i årevis bag lukkede døre at udarbejde en international aftale, med hvilken der skulle opnås absolut dominans for finanskapitalen.
It is one thing to confer sovereignty on delegations within the framework of this Community, in a state-controlled procedure and a historic adventure, as we perceive and currently shape it, and which for us is of considerable importance.
Som følge af indiskretion i Canada er forsøget foreløbig mis­lykket.
But it is quite another thing to confer sovereignty on private interests.
Det var forsøget på at udelukke den nationale og sociale lovgivning og miljølovgivningen, som man tidli­gere havde kæmpet sig frem til gennem årelange proces^ ser.
It is a de cision that was thought through carefully and taken following the excellent work by Mrs Catherine Lalumicre.
Derfor ønsker jeg, at Parlamentet beslutter at nedsætte et stærkt udvalg, der er fuldt ud engageret i kontrollen med WTO's arbejde, i lighed med det, der allerede findes i det amerikanske Senat.
Many developing countries today are so keen to attract foreign investment that they are offering subsidies to for eign companies.
Når den franske regering har givet OECD's MIA dødsstødet, er det med henblik på bedre at kunne opbygge en ny dialog, der denne gang skal omfatte alle de aktører, store som små, der tager del i globaliserin­gen af økonomien.
An agreement involving extra burdens on business would undermine their attempts to make themselves attractive to investors.
Jeg gentager, hr. formand, dette skal gøres inden for rammerne af WTO og ikke andre steder.
The purpose of some opponents' endeavours to block the MAI could precisely be to put obstacles in the way of international investment.
ΜΙΑ­programmet har en struktur, der har gjort det klart for alle demokrater, hvor hurtigt grundlæggende demo­kratiske rettigheder kan gå tabt.
There is a widely held belief that, if companies cannot in vest abroad, they will do so back at home.
På verdensplan står vi over for en gigantisk omfordeling.
Protectionism of this kind can easily have the opposite effect.
Multinationale koncer­ners overskud kommer ikke længere primært fra produk­tion, men derimod i et omfang af helt op til 70 % fra fi­nansspekulationer.
Companies unable to invest abroad - in support of new market strategies, for example - might then find it hard to do business at all on the domestic front.
MIA var et instrument til­at fjerne selv den mindste reste­rende risiko ved denne spekulation for at undergrave na­tionalstatemes sidste suverænitet.
As Sir Leon said, even though its remit is primarily trade and not investment, the WTO is probably better placed to handle the negotiations.
De er usikre. Derfor forstyrrer De.
Does this mean that we are against all agreements?
Jeg er sikker i min sag.
No, it does not.
Derfor behøver jeg ikke at forstyrre Dem!
In short, democracy should still have a purpose and a future.
Souchet (I­EDN). ­ (FR) Hr. formand, jeg har lyttet op­mærksomt til kommissær Brittan, men jeg vil geme minde om, at vi var nogle af de første, der slog alarm til offentligheden vedrørende den farlige karakter af MIA­forslaget, som var udarbejdet af OECD, navnlig fordi det bringer statemes uundværlige rolle som normgivere i fare, idet det indfører et nyt juridisk hieraki blandt de in­ternationale aktører ved at favorisere investorerne, og fordi det holder udviklingslandene borte fra forhandlin­gerne.
Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL). - (SV) Mr President, the French Government's decision to withdraw from the OECD-level MAI negotiations was a courageous" one, and leaves me gratified on two counts.
Mutin (PSE). ­ (FR) Hr. formand, man kan opsumere MIA i en enkelt sætning: Alle rettigheder til de multinati­onale selskaber og alle forpligtelser til staterne. Jeg er imidlertid ikke sikker på, at det, på et tidspunkt hvor de multinationale selskaber har budgetter, der er større end visse europæiske staters, er de multinationale selskaber, der behøver beskyttelse, som hr. De Clercq anmoder om.
Firstly, the agreement that was being worked on would grant unilateral rights to multinational companies at the expense of democratic principles, and that is totally unacceptable.
Som det var udformet, ville det i praksis have medført et forbud mod at forsvare store europæiske interesser og særpræg (kulturelle undtagelser, høje sociale og miljø­mæssige standarder, forkastelsen af udenlandske lovgiv­ninger).
I am surprised that other governments calling themselves leftwing - the Swedish one, for example - have not followed the French lead.
Jeg tror, disse initiativer har bidraget til en bety­delig udvikling af visse medlemsstaters stilling heriblandt Frankrigs, og dette glæder jeg mig over.
In stead, they have simply absorbed the underlying philosophy of the MAI.
Denne reaktion er på ingen måde overfla­disk, hr. kommissær!
The underlying aim is quite the opposite: promoting longterm invest ment.
Men bestemmelserne for WTO ­ vi må ikke glemme dette ­ omfatter ikke de sociale og miljømæssige
If the economic situation changes for the worse, shortterm capital of this kind can easily be moved away - with potentially dire effects.
Mutin frem, vil pengestrømmen blive bremset, hvilket vil være til ulempe for alle parter.
Lannoye (V). - (FR) Mr President, in my opinion this incantatory talk of the virtues of liberalism is not likely to restore health to a project that is so obviously ailing.
En ting er at billige suverænitetsdelegationer inden for rammerne af vores Fællesskab i en proces, der er kontrol­leret af staterne, i et historisk eventyr, som vi skaber, som vi i øjeblikket er ved at danne, og som er af betydelig vig­tighed for os.
Following the French Government's decision to with draw from negotiations, it seems quite clear that political conditions are no longer appropriate for these negotiations to continue.
Noget andet er at indvilge i suverænitetsaf­givelser til private interesser.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the French Government is not alone.
For os, der har været mod­standere af MIA, er Lionel Jospins beslutning om at for­lade forhandlingsbordet en stor tilfredsstillelse, og det drejer sig ikke om en overfladisk reaktion, som hr. Brittan siger.
The Belgian Government was greatly disturbed by what happened in Paris, and the future government of Germany is also questioning the relevance of a project that is evidently flawed.
