Det andet væsentlige tema, der kom ud af Uruguayrunden, er en styrkelse af midler til at forlige flersidede konflikter og fjernelsen af muligheder for ensidige handlinger.
That was due not least to the efforts of the Commission in the persons of Frans Andriessen first of all and then Sir Leon Brittan.
Den nye forligsproces bliver mere automatisk med afskaffelse af den faktiske vetoret, der gjaldt for løsninger under GATT.
The Commission exercised its exclusive right to follow the Council's mandate in trade negotiations in a most effective manner.
For det første kommer der klare regler for tidsplanen for løsning af konflikter, gennemførelsen af panelers kendelser, og hvad der skal gøres i tilfælde af manglende gennemførelse. se.
Our group believes that in this case Article 228 (3) sub (2) is applicable, just as the Commissioner intends to propose to the Commission.
Med hensyn til internationale aftaler er det objektivt nødvendigt at finde en acceptabel fortolkning af begrebet »betydelige budgetmæssige virkninger«. Det er under alle omstændigheder klart, at ikke en hvilken som helst administrationsudgift automatisk kan siges at have en betydelig budgetmæssig virkning.
Lannoye (V). - (FR) Mr President, it is clear that the GATT agreement reached last December has fundamentally changed not only the scope of the trade agreement concluded in 1947 and renewed in the various rounds completed since then, but the very nature of the agree ment as well.
Parallelt med dette system er der en eksplicit fornyet bekræftelse af, at medlemmer af World Trade Organization ikke skal påtage sig at fastslå en overtrædelse af internationale regler eller indføre ensidige sanktioner.
First of all, it clearly puts certain types of political machinery in question. lam thinking for instance of aid to the cultural sector, which is going to come under scrutiny sooner or later, and, more directly, of aid under the agricultural policy conducted in the European Community and also in certain neighbouring countries.
Et forbedret system til konfliktløsning efter disse retningslinjer er af afgørende betydning for det åbne handelssystems styrke og pålidelighed.
A number of political mechanisms have therefore definitely been put in question.
For så vidt angår retsgrundlag vedrørende budgetdisciplin kan Kommissionen ikke acceptere Parlamentets ændring, men mener tværtimod, at artikel 45, 209 og 215 er det eneste retsgrundlag, der kan bringes i anvendelse.
I was extremely happy to hear the Commissioner's promise to insist on this legal base; I only regret that the Commission has not yet managed to conclude that this article must be taken.
Formanden. - Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
What could possibly be changed in the substance of the agreement tojustify changing Article 228?
Afstemningen finder sted i morgen, torsdag, kl. 17.00.
What is the difference between now and 15 April?
Det tredje større resultat er følgende: Uruguayrunden har inden for området multilateral lovgivning medtaget internationale økonomiske forbindelser inden for tjene steydelser, ophavsrettigheder og direkte udlandsinvesteringer.
If everything is to be done in such a short time and we have in our part-session in a fortnight's time to debate the legal base in addition to giving Parliamentary approval, then we are making matters highly complicated and I fail to see what can change between now and then.
Disse regler er ikke perfekte, men de repræsenterer et stort fremskridt.
Of course we appreciate that a legally approved text will not be available before 15 April.
Inden for tjenesteydelser har vi nu en ramme af regler for frihandel, gennemskuelighed, mestbegunstigede nationer og national behandling sammen med en første pakke med aftaler om at indlede åbningen af markederne.
In international terms it is undesirable - to put it no stronger than that - that the American Congress, representing 100 million people fewer than this House, is the only body that can approve or disapprove the GATT agreement.
Formanden. - Næste punkt på dagsordenen er redegørelse fra Kommissionen om retsgrundlaget for den GATT-aftale, der er indgået for Det Europæiske Fællesskab.
Finally this Parliament retains the right to vote on the international development of trade in agricultural pro ducts which now comes under the Treaty as of this Round.
Aftalen i sidste måned betyder en radikal reformulering af reglerne for international økonomisk aktivitet, såvel som en væsentlig reduktion af toldsatser og af ikketoldmæssige barrierer for handelen.
Parliament must insist that the Uruguay Round agreement be presented to the House for approval and not just an opinion, in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Treaty of Maastricht.
Det er et nybrud, der er lige så betydningsfuldt som oprettelsen af GATT selv i 1947, et nybrud, der kræver en tilpasning af verdenshandelsstrategien fra både regeringernes og erhvervslivets side i det kommende tiår.
This is a political decision. A legal text is not necessary, the Commission should appreciate that this is a political decision and we welcome the fact that the Commissioner responsible has formally declared here in the plenary that this is also his view.
Alle detaljer om handelen står til rådighed, men snarere end at gentage dem her vil jeg understrege fem nøgleelementer.
We are grateful to him and support him in his standpoint.
Reglerne er omfattende, ingen sektor er udelukket, og arbejdsprogrammet for fortsat liberalisering er klart.
It seems to me that were the Commission to continue to resist this, Parliament would be fully entitled to go to the Court of Justice to institute proceedings.
Der var to servicesektorer, der fik særlig opmærksomhed i de afsluttende stadier af runden.
We must therefore unanimously demand straightforward application of the Maastricht Treaty, which is quite clear about the conditions.
Den ligger inden for de generelle regler for servicesektoren, selv om vi ikke har påtaget os nogen forpligtelser til at give adgang til markedet.
All three conditions are met, therefore, so that we are justified in demanding this legal base.
Den stærke og sammenhængende europæiske holdning blev udviklet i løbet af forhandlingerne efter en langstrakt debat, både med medlemsstater ne og erhvervet.
We have constantly argued in favour of the unicity of the agreement and shall consequently strongly support his view.
Rådet tilsluttede sig en formulering, foreslået af Kommissionen, som ville sikre særlig behandling af sektoren inden for GATT, men også give en rimelig grad af sikkerhed til selskaber i De Forenede
Hence we shall rebut the tendency in some quarters to refrain from submitting all parts of the agreement to Parliament for approval as this would be counter to the unicity of the agreement. But
For det første slutter Uruguayrunden med en tydelig bekræftelse af den universelle karakter og den forrang, som bestemmelserne om frihandel indebærer.
As to the substantive debate that ought to take place between us, I for one would like the Commission to talk to us about something other than the wonders of free trade.
Stater, der stort set dominerer forlystelsesmarkedet i Europa.
President. - I have received, pursuant to Rule 37(2), six motions for resolutions.
Sydkorea vil sænke sin told med 40%.
The vote will take place at 5 p.m. today.
Singapores satser vil stort set blive fastfrosset på 10%, og Hong Kong vil anvende en nulsats for 35% af deres toldsatser.
serious arguments, backed by statistics, on the ecological, social and economic repercussions, arguments that we want to be able to weigh up before taking a final decision, which I hope will be soon.
De latinamerikanske lande har støttet deres bestræbelser på at fastfryse satserne med betydelige nedskæringer.
Guermeur (RDE). - (FR) Mr President, today is not the day for discussing the substance of the text.
Og mens toldsatser på ca. 100% hidtil ikke har været usædvanlige i Asien, vil de nu ligge mellem f.eks.
We shall be doing that according to the procedure laid down for signature by the parties.
10% og 30% i Malaysia og Thailand, og mellem 25% og 45% i Indien.
Today, we have to take a position on three matters.
Hvis vi nu går over til finansielle tjenesteydelser, så blev de, i modsætning til hvad der blev sagt i nogle rapporter, ikke udelukket.
Medina Ortega (PSE). - (ES) Mr President, I would like to congratulate Commissioner Brittan on the agreement reached on 15 December.
Denne sektor er nu for første gang underlagt flersidige aftaler, som skaber rettigheder angående adgang til og fortsat virke på verdens finansmarkeder, regler, der kan gennemtvinges.
I believe, above all, that there is no need to overly emphasize the issue of the legal basis, since the vast majority of speakers who have gone before me referred to Article 228.3, paragraph 2.
Det er et nyt og ubeskrevet blad i det internationale økonomiske samar bejdes historie. Det er også gode nyheder for Den Europæiske Unions finanssektor, der repræsenterer 7% af vort bruttonationalprodukt.
The Commissioner referred only to Article 228.3, but I was left in some doubt as to whether the paragraph in question was paragraph 1 or paragraph 2.1 believe the various political groups have made it quite clear that it was paragraph 2.
De vil forøge beskyttelse for en række forskellige ophavsrettigheder og give betydelige fordele til et bredt spektrum af Europas erhvervsliv, forbrugervarer, tekstiler og beklædning, forarbejdede fødevarer, vin og spiritus, farmaceutiske produkter, kemikalier, computer software og underholdning.
First, we have to have the final text before the signing ceremony in Marrakesh, and in this connection public opinion would not understand if this Parliament, which has been so deeply involved, as the chairman of the Rex Committee was saying just now, should be left out of the concluding stage.
Det bliver en mere gennemskuelig organisation end GATT med højere politisk profil og en ny åbenhed, derer nedfældet i fundatsen.
Even if this is debatable in legal terms, there is no disputing the political case.
Men vi har allerede en pakke, som, efterhånden som den bliver gennemført, vil gøre meget for at åbne markederne for vore eksportører.
Thirdly, our position has to be taken in the lifetime of this Parliament, in other words before the elections.
Én arbejdsplads ud af ti i Den Europæiske Union er direkte affødt af eksporten.
Once again, this is a matter of justice, of a political act to be placed on record.
Eksporten af varer og tjene steydelser tegner sig for en fjerdedel af vort bruttonationalprodukt.
This is not simply a matter of a political declaration made by this House.
En grov statisk analyse, der er sammenligne lig med de fleste andre, der er fremkommet i de senere år, tyder på, at en 40% nedskæring af importbeskyttelsen i Den Europæiske Union, De Forenede Stater og Japan, vil give et engangsbidrag til forøgelse af bruttonationalproduktet på ca. 1%, hvilket betyder en gevinst for Den Europæiske Union på ca. 65 mia ECU.
Before Commissioner Brittan, Commissioner Pinheiro pointed out that the Court of Justice has stated that for the legal basis to be established it was necessary to determine the objective criteria, which are clearly expressed in Article 228.3.
Det kan naturligvis være at undervurdere nettoeffekten, eftersom mange af gevinsterne er dynamiske. Det er heller ikke let at forudsige virkningen på Europas eksport af oprettelsen af helt nye markeder af den slags, der allerede nu åbner sig i udviklingslandene.
The agreement led to a major reduction in tariffs, and he also said that with the creation of the World Trade Organization and of a previously non-existent system for resolving conflicts, one could say that the new agreement is just as significant as the creation of GATT itself.
Over halvdelen af udviklingslandenes deltagere i Uruguay-runden har forud for denne runde allerede indledt deres egne ensidige programmer for liberalisering og regelsanering.
Allow me to conclude, Mr President, by saying that the Commissioner's statements in this connection are encouraging and, basically, represent a fair return for the part that Parliament has sought to play in this important debate.
Den samlede vurdering af resultatet er helt overvældende positiv.
In other words, we find ourselves with two of the requirements laid down in Article 228.3, paragraph 2 of the Treaty on European Union fulfilled.
Både kvantitativt og kvalitativt er runden god for Unionen, dens resultater er lige, hvad vi trænger til i dagens økonomi.
These require ments state that these agreements should create a specific institutional framework for organizing cooperation pro cedures and that they should have important budgetary implications for the Community.
Det femte og sidste område, hvor der er opnået resultater, drejer sig om de traditionelle GATT-aktiviteter med toldreduktioner. Her har Uruguayrunden, selv om den i sidste instans er resulteret i en pakke om adgang til markedet, der ikke er helt så ambitiøs, som jeg havde håbet, da der var topmøde i Tokyo, ikke desto mindre ført til den største liberaliseringsaftale i historien.
Blaney (ARC). - Mr President, might I just sound slightly different from some of those I have already heard complimenting the Commission on the great deals it has done in this Umguay Round, in the GATT agreement, and say that, in my estimation, while you may have done a great job on the movement of goods and services, you have forgotten about the free movement of people.
De bestræbelser, man har gjort sig det sidste år, har sandelig været ulejligheden værd.
Surely this Community is about people, not just goods, services and commercial activities.
De samlede bidrag fra industrilandene reducerer importtolden med mellem 35% og 40%, og overgår derved de mål, man havde sat sig tidligere under forhandlingerne.
Perhaps the only thing left for me to say in this connection - and to complement several of the observations already made, e.g. the one by Mr Lannoye - is that this is entirely compatible with Article 113, as Mrs Randzio-Plath pointed out.
Samlet vil tolden i USA på eksport fra Fællesskabet blive beskåret med næsten halvdelen, mens Japans varerelaterede toldnedsættelse ligger på ca. 60%.
This article is compatible with Article 228, since it refers specifically to it, thus ensuring that Article 113 brings the matter within the scope of common trade policy.
Disse gennemsnit inkluderer i mange tilfælde fuldstændig afskaffelse af told i en række sektorer - stål, legetøj, halvledere, farmaceutiske produkter, øl og spiritus, medicinsk, landbrugsmæssigt og bygge- og anlægsudstyr.
This was one of Mr Brittan's concerns, and a concern that was also raised by Mr De Clercq, namely the unity of the common trade policy with respect to trade negotiations.
Lad mig nu gå over til spørgsmålene om tidsplanen og ratifikationen. Jeg vil først se på tidsplanen.
This surely should no longer be necessary, since we are all now members of the Union and should at least be equal in this regard.
I Genève nåede forhandlerne i december frem til en klar og fuld aftale om runden.
For we feel that the procedure to be followed must be based on gaining consent within the very unity of the common trade policy.
Nogle af detaljerne kan måske stadig forbedres.
Parliament will no doubt study the text in all due detail.
For eksempel kan der stadig gives yderligere tilbud om adgang til markedet.
I regard the Blair House agreement, the CAP and the GATT as the death knell of the small and medium-sized farmers in our Community.
Eksisterende tilbud kan ikke trækkes tilbage eller reduceres, men de kan forbedres. Sidste frist for tilbudene er 15. februar.
I would once again like to congratulate the Commission er, but I would reiterate that the positions of the various political groups, and in particular the Socialist Group, is that the article that should be applied is Article 228.3, paragraph 2, in relation to Article 113.
Efter den dato vil personalet hos GATT i Genève koncentrere sig om at færdiggøre de juridiske tekster, hvori aftalen fra december sidste år er udtrykt.
Stavrou (PPE). - (GR) This is the first time since the Uruguay Round talks were completed that Vice-President Sir Leon Brittan has appeared before us.
Jeg bør tilføje, at jeg, når jeg siger dette, ikke agter at reducere den værdifulde rolle, medlemsstaterne har spillet inden for GATT, og som jeg håber, de vil fortsætte med at spille i WTO, som de naturligvis alle bliver medlem af.
Stavrou work and thank him for the relief I personally felt after some five years of hard bargaining on which I have written parliamentary reports in the past.
Det er vigtigt, at Unionens enhed bevares, særlig når det gælder at bruge Genève-apparatet, hvor vi må optræde som en fælles enhed af Fællesskabet og medlemsstaterne.
that I have been able to give, is that I see absolutely no reason why that matter should not be resolved before mid-April, and I will do what I can to ensure that happens.
definitiv og autentisk og herved forpligte sig til at forelægge dem for deres myndigheder til ratifikation.
I would also like to thank the speakers who have been kind enough to express their approbation of what the Commission and I personally have done.
Først efter Marrakesh vil der foreligge et dokument, som Rådet kan sende til Parlamentet, og som Parlamentet kan udtrykke sin formelle holdning til, for først da kan der komme et formelt lovforslag fra Kommissionen.
I would like to say that I am surprised by the reservations expressed by the Council and the Commission about such a clear issue as the legal points on the basis of which the European Parliament will be called to issue an opinion on this agreement.
Spørgsmålet om det korrekte retsgrundlag for en ratifikation melder sig derfor strengt taget først efter Marrakesh, så det er ikke overraskende, at Kommissionen endnu ikke har truffet nogen afgørelse om spørgsmålet, selv om det naturligvis er blevet gjort klart, at der ikke kan være tale om, at Rådet bliver bedt om at træffe en ny afgørelse om hele Uruguayrunden, før Parlamentet har givet udtryk for sin egen opfattelse.
Hindley (PSE). - Mr President, on behalf of my group I would like to add to the congratulations to Sir Leon personally on his role, no matter what subsequent criticisms are made as the GATT agreement comes under closer scrutiny.
Ikke desto mindre forstår jeg den bekymring, der er kommet til udtryk i Parlamentet om det retsgrundlag, hvorefter Parlamentet vil give udtryk for sin opfattelse.
It would be churlish indeed not to appreciate the energy and determination which has gone into creating this agreement.
Jeg er glad for i dag at kunne sige noget om, hvad jeg sandsynligvis vil sige til Kommissionen.
I am very pleased on behalf of my group to put that on record.
Ligeledes må vi bevare vor fælles forhandlingsstyrke, som har givet os et godt resultat i Uruguayrunden.
I understand, like all of us reading between the lines, that it may be helpful that this House expresses itself forcefully and unanimously in line with that thought.
Jeg tror, at medlemsstaternes legitime interesser, hvad enten de er politiske, går på indholdet eller på formen, også kan og må bevares.
It may help persuade other members of the Commission and the political body in general.
Men når vi gør det, er det vigtigt, at vi også ser på Unionens interesser.
Therefore, my group goes along very strongly with the view that it should be a question of assent and not an opinion.
Ingen enkelt medlems stat, hvor rig eller mægtig den end er, kunne på nogen mulig måde have forsvaret sine interesser så effektivt over for De Forenede Stater, Japan og resten af verden, som vi har kunnet, fordi vi optrådte på vegne af hele Unionen.
As far as the argument about the CAP and the GATT and the movement of people is concerned, I will not be drawn into that in substance, but I will say that it is quite wrong to say that the GATT agreement is not about people.
Hvor vigtig Uruguayrunden end er, vil der altid komme yderligere ting på dagsordenen, der skal drøftes og forhandles.
I have given a quantification, but behind that quantification, what are we talking about? I have also named industries.
Jeg føler mig sikker på, at Parlamentet vil ønske, at vi skal bevare den samhørighed, enhed og styrke fremtiden, som vi med så stor vanskelighed, men med så stort held, har sikret os i den seneste tid.
That means the opportunity to sell more, the opportunity to produce more and the opportunity to employ more people in that production.
Randzio-Plath (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, afslutningen af Uruguayrunden, som må hilses velkommen, gør det endnu en gang klart for os, at verdensøkonomien, som bliver stadig mere global, står over for en udfordring.
It means that up to now far too large a part of our efforts in the production of goods has been, in effect, stolen by people in various parts of the world, reproducing and then selling those goods on the basis of our intellectual effort and preventing the proper results of European Union effort being manufactured in Europe and sold in Europe. That has meant fewer jobs for European people.
Den er et symbol på, at multilaterale bestemmelser i virkelig heden er en væsentlig forudsætning for, at vi har ikke kun en fri, men også en fair og regelret verdenshandel.
If we now obtain the kind of protection of intellectual property that is contained in the GATT Round, that means the ability to sell more again, the ability to produce more and the ability to employ more people.
Jeg har omhyggeligt set på de forskellige argumenter for den opfattelse, at artikel 228, stk. 3, i Maastrichttraktaten er relevant for denne aftale.
However, in return, I hope that Sir Leon realizes that it would help us in our political arguments to have as early a clarification from the Commission as possible.
Men til trods for den korte tid, derer til rådighed, tror jeg, at det vil være muligt at gennemføre artikel 228 stk. 3-proceduren før slutningen af dette parlaments valgperiode.
I am sure he has taken the force of Mrs Peijs's argument that there is no real argument against the Commission making that clarification before the mid-April deadline.
For at kunne gøre dette vil det være nødvendigt at adskille afstemningen om dette formelle spørgsmål fra debatten om substansen i december-aftalen.
It will certainly help us to come to a common view in our political deliberations.
Man kan derfor kun gratulere Kommissionen med, at forhandlingerne blev ført således, og jeg er helt enig med Dem, hr. kommissær, i, at Kommissionen fortsat skal gennemføre opgaven også på dette område og at det ikke går an, at Fællesskabet igen beskæres i sin gennem artikel 228 i forbindelse med artikel 113 sikrede enekompetence med hensyn til handelspolitik.
One other point that I would like to correct is the suggestion by Mr Lannoye that this means an end to the political mechanisms accorded to questions such as support for culture and support for agriculture. The support for agriculture contained in the common agricultural policy remains intact.
Når det nu drejer sig om at gennemføre ratificeringen, vil De bestemt have Europa-Parlamentet helt på Deres side.
We have had to make changes in its operation for our own internal reasons, but nobody is stopping the system continuing.
Der skal gøres forskel, netop når talen er om de vanskelige problemer TRIPS og TRIMS og om den i Den Økonomiske og Monetære Unions anden fase stadig mulige kontrol med kapitalbevægelser. Det er uforeneligt. ligt.
As for culture, I explained in the course of my speech exactly what happened, the result of which is that our ability to support our culture is totally unimpeded as a result of the conclusion of those negotiations.
Det kunne måske ske i marts eller april.
We now have a global internal market coming along with the latest round of GATT.
Jeg kan også sige, at Kommissionen vil arbejde for at sikre, at de formelle dokumenter står til rådighed for Rådet og Parlamentet så betids, at Parlamentet kan give udtryk for sin formelle opfattelse, før dette parlaments mandat udløber.
In that global market my group is particularly concerned, as it was with 1992, that there be flanking social measures.
