Rådets beslutning om at fastlægge et retsgrundlag for budgetposten for industrien er meget vigtig, for så vidt som vor politik for industriens konkurrenceevne kun kan gennemføres, hvis der allokeres tilstrækkelige budgetressourcer.
But implementing all of the corrective economic measures of the new Ukrainian Government is not enough, the European Union must also set aside, in its relations with the Ukraine, all trade protection policies, such as anti-dumping, which it applies every time a country that is not a member of the Union achieves successes on the Community markets; if it does not, then the lack of consistency would undermine the agreements and the efforts already made.
Politikken er åben og ikke-interventionistisk.
This is another indication that we are making mistakes.
Den har bidraget til at få liberaliseret handelsområdet, øge konkurrenceevnen, koncentrere de offentlige myndigheders aktiviteter og dermed opnå et gunstigt erhvervsmiljø. Liberalisering af handelsområdet er et meget vigtigt mål, som er særdeles relevant for dem, der som for eksempel fru Boogerd-Quaak talte om globalisering af verdensøkonomien og vort behov for at have tilstrækkelige ressourcer til at klare den.
In conclusion, it is our hope that the European Union will endeavour not only to enter into interim and partnership agreements, like the one recently concluded — and that, of course, is absolutely right — but, particularly, that it will work towards the defeat ofthat element on the political fringe — in a country which, clearly, still has links with regimes that are not particularly democratic — which remains opposed to develop ing, on a common and shared basis, relations between the European Union and the Ukraine, in a way that is able genuinely to create the economic and commercial relations now needed by both structures and both institutions.
Det er det, Den Europæiske Unions handelspolitik drejer sig om og grunden til, at vi under og efter Uruguay-runden har søgt at få adgang til markeder, der hidtil har været lukkede.
No two situations are alike, and perhaps the United States is no longer able to make such contributions today, as many examples illustrate, such as the cuts that are currently being made in U.S. economic aid to all parts of the Third World.
I nogle tilfælde, såsom Japan, viser tallene, at vi har haft et vist mål af succes.
We in the European Union have to take the lead here to some extent.
Det bør dog ikke få os til at hvile på laurbærrene, men snarere at gøre yderligere fremskridt på samme område og i samme retning.
It is no coincidence, in my view, that we have had a German rapporteur and German speakers on this issue, because we live at the border, we are closer to this economic frontier which is increasingly becoming a social boundary too.
Forhandlingen er naturligvis — og med rette — gået længere end det og har dækket en stor del af Kommissionens aktiviteter.
As neighbours of countries that await our help, we have a special mission to present this problem clearly within the European Union in all its urgency.
Det glæder mig, og jeg betragter det som et yderst nyttigt bidrag, der ikke alene vil hjælpe Kommissionen til at gøre fremskridt inden for de særlige områder, som nævnes i betænkningen, men som også i en bredere sammenhæng vil blive afspejlet i kommende kommissionspolitikker på mange områder.
Ukraine is but one example. Unless all of us are vigilant, we who have helped to establish democracy in Ukraine will have to stand by and watch the Ukrainian people using the democratic elections to vote back into power the very people responsible for the conditions that led to economic collapse, namely the Communists.
Formanden. — Forhandlingen er afsluttet.
Boogerd-Quaak (ELDR). — (NL) Mr President, I too wish to congratulate Mrs Mann on yet another of her splendid reports.
Afstemningen finder sted fredag kl. 9.00.
But we must speed up the ratification of the partnership agreements.
Formanden. — Næste punkt på dagsordenen er betænkning (A4-0233/95) af Erika Mann for Udvalget om Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser om forslag til Rådets afgørelse om Det Europæiske Fællesskabs indgåelse af interimsaftalen om handel og handelsanliggender mellem Det Europæiske Fælles skab, Det Europæiske Kul- og Stålfællesskab og Det Europæiske Atomenergifællesskab på den ene side og Ukraine på den anden side (KOM(94)034I - C4-0290/95 - 94/0185(CNS)).
I think that in view of the strategic location of Ukraine between Russia and Western Europe the creation of a healthy economy is essential for our own security. If we protest against nuclear tests and nuclear arms then we should take peace initiatives and use trade relations to show our concern for a number of countries in the former Soviet Union.
Med Rådets beslutning kan der skabes et retsgrundlag for den meget begrænsede budgetpost for industriaktioner, der har til formål at sikre gennemsigtighed gennem tilvejebringelse af oplysninger og lette samarbejdet mellem partnerne.
That means that democrats are called upon to demonstrate, in Ukraine and other countries, that we mean business when it comes to helping those countries.
Det drejer sig ikke om at afskaffe efterkrigstidens system, men snarere om at skabe nogle betingelser i nutidens verden, som gør det muligt for os at bevare den sociale sikkerhed og andre systemer, som med rette betragtes som et særtræk ved det europæiske samfund.
As has already been said, this is only a fragment of the material that will have to be negotiated afterwards for the agreement itself.
Vi må huske på, at vi ikke bare kan begynde med at sige, at vi skal bevare disse systemer og så indrette alt andet efter det.
Chernobyl showed us that there is more to Ukraine than we all think.
Vi skal gøre det, der er nødvendigt for at sætte os i stand til at bevare det, vi ønsker, men som vi fortsat må arbejde for i fremtiden.
Whoever wants to avoid future political and economic disasters must now help Ukraine on its way.
Erika Mann (PSE), ordfører. — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, med skrivelse af 6Juli 1995 anmodede Ministerrådet Europa-Parlamentet om en udtalelse om indgåelsen af en interimsaftale om handel og handelsanliggender mellem Det Europæiske Fællesskab og Ukraine.
The rapporteur has shown in her report that heavy industry is being heavily subsidized to keep it alive. We have just finished debating the competitive position of European industry.
Det støtter sig her til EF-traktatens artikel 113 og artikel 138 i forbindelse med den højtidelige erklæring fra Stuttgart, hvori Rådet erklærede, at Parlamentet skal konsulteres ved internationale aftaler.
For donkey's years we have had a tradition of free trade and freedom to develop, yet despite that some of our countries and some of our industries are in hot water: take, for example, the conversion of industries no longer needed.
Derfor er jeg særdeles enig i mange af de ting, som hr. Murphy og fru Ploij-van Gorsel sagde om SMV.
This is happening in Ukraine, only it is many times worse there.
Jeg accepterer fuldt ud filosofien bag ændringsforslagene.
Ukraine has massive industries that had to supply the interests of the whole of the former Soviet Union.
Og så vedrørende det, hr. Blokland sagde om ikke blot at satse på kapitalintensive områder: servicesektoren er arbejdskraftintensiv og har behov for støtte.
Garosci (UPE). — (IT) Mr President, my group welcomes the conclusion of this agreement between the Ukraine and the European Union.
Servicesektoren består i høj grad af små og mellemstore virksomheder. Det betyder, at det er af afgørende betydning at støtte servicesektoren, både for hjem memarkedet og uden for EU's grænser, for eksempel ved at søge nye markeder for vore økonomiske serviceindustrier,
The interim agreement that the Union has entered into with the Ukraine has in fact a twofold value: on the one hand, it certainly constitutes aid and an incentive to invest in those countries of the former Soviet Union which have demonstrated courage and shown enterprise; in addition, it represents a further step towards the enlargement eastwards which the European Union increasingly hopes to see.
Vi har at gøre med en lovgivningsmæssig beslutning, dvs. vi kan kun sige ja eller nej til indgåelsen af interimsaftalen.
From the latter point of view, we have to seek shortly to conclude other agreements also: entering into partnership with
Hertil kræves blot EU-institutionernes ratificering, mens selve partnerskabsaftalen er meget mere omfangsrig og skal ratificeres af både Unionen og dens medlemsstater.
This is another place we must continue to invest in research, education and training, through programmes such as PHARE and TACIS. I would remind
Ministerrådet gav under forhandlingsrunden ganske vist Kom missionen mandat til om nogle år at indlede nye forhandlinger om etablering af en frihandelszone for Rusland og Ukraine.
Perhaps Sir Leon could intervene in the Council to rectify this omission as I believe that it is precisely this institute that we desperately need to improve our interests in the field of education and training in Eastern Europe.
Interimsaftalen og i langt højere grad aftalen om partnerskab og samarbejde vil bidrage til at stabilisere den økonomiske og samfundsmæssige reform- og demokratiseringsproces, som præsident Kutjma og hans team, reformkræfterne i parlamentet og i samfundet, er slået ind på.
I shall conclude with a mention of something I see in my own country, as elsewhere. We hear fine speeches on trade relations, but business men are afraid, for example in agriculture in view of the aftermath of Chernobyl.
I artikel I slås det udtrykkeligt fast, at respekt for de demokratiske principper og menneskerettighederne samt de markedsøkonomiske principper er grundlaget for begge par ters politik.
Economic development without any attempt at political integration cannot be desirable from the security perspective, for a purely economic process offers no guarantee of relieving the existing and regrettably increasing social tension which is inherent in the transformation process and which is a major destabilizing factor.
De handelspolitiske bestemmelser i interimsaftalen er fuldstændig identiske med de tilsvarende artikler i partnerskabsaftalen og er udformet efter princippet: Så meget GATT som muligt.
To that extent it was a great mistake not to include the observance of fundamental social rights and social justice among the principles of either the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement or the interim agreement.
I aftalen tilsikres ganske vist mestbegunstigelsesbehandling og fjernelse af kvantitative han delsrestriktioner.
This can ultimately lead to a large percentage of the population rejecting democracy and the free market because the social and human cost of these principles is considered too high.
Undtaget er tekstilvarer, stålprodukter og handel med nukleare materialer. Disse områder er omfattet af særlige aftaler.
These political consequences could bring about a change of heart and move the population, in an outpouring of nostalgia, to side with the forces of reaction and to elect them in the future.
Botz (PSE). — (DE) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg takker ordføreren for hendes betænkning og vil gerne sige noget om fire punkter.
Schroedter (V). — (DE) Mr President, the European Parliament has been deliberately kept out of the implementation of the interim agreement.
Jeg glæder mig udtrykkeligt over Den Europæiske Unions beslutning om at fravige mestbegunstigelsesprincippet for så vidt, som Ukraine ikke hindres i at videreudvikle sine foretrukne handelsforbindelser med de andre SNG-stater.
Because the interim agreement covers the commercial aspects of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, I find it a great pity that this point has not been raised more clearly in the report.
Vi ved alle, hvor vigtige disse traditionelle økonomiske forbindelser er efter det pludselige sammenbrud af det tidligere Sovjetunionen.
Both the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement and the interim agreement have the aim of developing a free-trade zone covering the European Union and the CIS.
For det andet beklager jeg, at det først med den kommende partnerskabsaftale vil være muligt at nedsætte et parlamentarisk samarbejdsudvalg EU/Ukraine. Netop nu, i denne kritiske fase af den demokratiske opbygning, ville det være tvingende nødvendigt at støtte disse aktiviteter fra parlamentarisk side.
For that reason, and because we seek to assist the President in his efforts to achieve reform, we should sort out all aspects of our relations with Ukraine in the shortest possible time.
Fællesskabet indrømmer Ukraine mulighed for at fravige mestbegunstigelsesprincippet for at udvikle præferenceordninger med de øvrige SNG-stater.
But we must not overlook the fact that the economic area of the CIS is marked by traditional economic relations, which will long continue to be the basis on which socioeconomic change in the newly independent states is built.
Området økonomisk samarbejde, der behandles relativt udførligt i artikel 7 i partnerskabsaftalen, er ikke indeholdt i interimsaftalen.
By adapting its relations with the individual independent states to their real progress in carrying out reforms, the European Union can help to ensure that economic cooperation based on partnership and equality can take root within the CIS.
Denne afgrænsning mellem interimsaftalens og partnerskabsaftalens indhold til kendegiver, at medlemsstaterne sætter meget snævre grænser for EU's handelspolitiske kompetence og for at være på den sikre side også holder de områder udenfor, som ganske vist også, men ikke udelukkende, henhører under Fællesskabets kompetence. Så meget mere nødvendigt vil det være, at medlemsstaterne meget hurtigt undertegner aftalen om part nerskab og samarbejde.
That, of course, means that while the Russian Federation will inevitably have to be accorded a special role in reshaping political and economic relations in the East, we must not underpin its claim to leadership of the CIS by giving it preferential treatment.
For det tredje — ordføreren har nævnt det — er aftalerne egentlig det mindste, Den Europæiske Union kan gøre for Ukraine i den økonomiske omstillingsproces. Der tales på dette sted om en besværlig vej.
Van der Waal (EDN). — (NL) Mr President, in September we had a plenary debate on the proposal for additional macrofinancial aid in which we drew attention to the positive developments in Ukraine since President Kuchma came to power.
Jeg tillader mig her den bemærkning, at begrebet besværlig ikke passer til den faktiske situation.
These developments created the conditions necessary for the present interim agreement on trade cooperation.
Som besværlig ville jeg snarere beskrive det, der forestår i Den Europæiske Unions medlemsstater i de kommende år på vejen hen imod opfyldelse af konvergenskriterierne.
The Ukraine government has now met the conditions laid down due to the economic reform programme, the improved relations with Russia, the closure of the Chernobyl nuclear power station and the agreement on the elimination of nuclear arms.
Det, reformtilhængerne i Ukraine og andre steder imidlertid må byde deres befolkning i de kommende måneder og år, er ikke kun besværligt, men derimod risikabelt.
That is why particular importance attaches to the fact that the interim agreement with Ukraine, an agreement that recognizes the efforts of Ukraine to achieve economic reform and to develop independently, is to be the first in a series of agreements of this type.
Interimsaftalen giver et officielt signal, et budskab til Ukraine om, at vi støtter dets politiske og økonomiske omstillingsproces.
We must remember that Ukraine is subordinate to Russia in both economic and military terms and therefore subject to the demands of security.
Vi bør ikke glemme, at dette er et realeksperiment, at der hidtil endnu ikke er nogen økonomisk teori, der har beskrevet denne proces, og at det ikke er klart, hvordan denne proces ideelt bør forløbe.
That country wants to step out of the shadow of Russia and take an independent and full place on the international stage.
Vi signalerer, at vi gør tilnærmelses- og integrationsprocessen lettere for dem hen imod vores vestlige demokratiske og økonomiske model, hvor vi igen bør være klar over, at vi selv befinder os i en omstillingsfase — stikord: Forandring hen imod informationssamfundet.
In its relationships with Ukraine the Union will therefore have to show more clearly than in the past that an independent and stable Ukraine is important, not only from the point of view of restricting nuclear risks. The present agreement is a positive sign in that respect.
Vi bør tage hatten af for et folk, der i de kommende år kan indse fordelene ved demokrati og markedsøkonomi uden hverken at se tilbage eller frem og alligevel kører løbet til ende.
Nor is there much to be achieved by including in the statement of principles in the interim agreement the socalled democracy clause that is to be enshrined in the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement.
Jeg ønsker i denne sammenhæng kun at nævne nogle eksempler: Tjernobyl, hele Krim-problematikken, det næsten kom plette sammenbrud af det østeuropæiske afsætningsmarked for ukrainske produkter.
Recent reports on renewed inflation show the great difficulty facing the government of Ukraine to stabilise the economy.
Jeg beder Dem huske på, at næsten en femtedel af Ukraines eksportmarked er brudt sammen.
Active involvement of the Union in the economic reforms can help to combat Ukraine's current crisis.
Vi vil bidrage til at bære denne historiske byrde og affjedre den på en sådan måde, at Ukraine også kan eksistere i fremtiden på det internationale marked og ikke kun på det europæiske marked.
The interim agreement offers a basis on condition, as Mrs Mann quite rightly points out in her report, that the Union genuinely opens up its markets to Ukrainian products and does not at the first sign of Ukrainian market success threaten to take anti-dumping measures or other forms of market protection. tion.
Desuden en bemærkning til udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Udenrigs-, Sikkerheds- og Forsvarsanliggender.
On greater market access, we would like the Commission to explain why, as in the agreements with other CIS countries, the textile sector has not been included in the trade agreements.
Under punkt 4 sammenlignes Den Europæiske Unions finansielle udgifter med De Forenede Staters.
We also wonder why there is no regulation in the agreement for trade in nuclear materials, why we have to wait for a regulation from the European Atomic Energy Community.
Vi har stort set ydet dobbelt så meget.
In view of
Vi ønsker at lette tilknytningen til Den Europæiske Unions politik, dvs. vi skaber integrationsmodeller alle vegne, hvor det er fornuftigt og nødvendigt.
And in all of this we are still operating in the domain of good intentions, which is how things are likely to remain unless an effective response is found to violation of this contractual principle.
Det kan være, at vi stille og roligt kan stjæle os ud af historien og ud af det historiske ansvar, men det kan også være, at vi på et eller andet tidspunkt kommer til at fortryde det!
But I am also aware that no-one yet knows for sure whether this can really be applied once the agreement is in force and that there is therefore something of a tendency to avoid going beyond good intentions. tions.
Kittelmann kratiske valg til igen at vælge dem til førende poster, der er skyld i det, der har ført til det økonomiske sammenbrud, nemlig kommunisterne.
Van der Waal pressing nuclear problems in Ukraine, was it not necessary to include certain commitments in the interim agreement?
PPE beder Dem stemme for denne interimsaftale.
smuggling of nuclear materials.
Jeg vil gerne på PPE's vegne udtrykke vores beklagelse over, at det har varet så længe, før denne interimsaftale endelig kan vedtages, og vi bør tænke over, hvorfor det har varet så længe.
That too is something concern ing which we will have to develop closer links with all the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union.
Det vil sige, det kræves af demokraterne, at de som forbillede påviser i Ukraine og i andre lande, at vi gør alvor af det, når det drejer sig om at hjælpe disse lande økonomisk.
Quite apart from the economic problems, there are still political problems involving Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
Det er allerede blevet nævnt: Det er kun et lille udsnit af det, der umiddelbart derefter alt sammen skal forhandles om i aftalerne.
Although currently political relations are closer, there still remains the outstanding question of the Crimea, which is an area primarily inhabited by ethnic Russians and which until quite late in the 20th century was always part of Russia.
Tjernobyl har vist os, at Ukraine er mere, end vi alle tror.
This agreement had to be dove-tailed as much as possible into the GATT agreement.
Hvis man ønsker at forhindre fremtidige politiske og økonomiske katastrofer, er det nødvendigt at hjælpe Ukraine på vej nu!
But since economic reforms have only just begun we fully understand the need for a transitional period for Ukraine.
Grundlaget herfor er den højtidelige erklæring fra Stuttgart, og jeg erindrer ved denne lejlighed endnu en gang om, at Rådet i det væsentlige spørgsmål om interimsaftalen med Rusland har tilladt sig ikke at konsultere os og heller ikke skabt nogen mulighed for at gøre det efterfølgende.
Nußbaumer (NI). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen of the House, when the Soviet empire collapsed many people undoubtedly hoped that the effects of Western assistance would bring democracy on the Western model to the former Communist states within a few years, but these hopes have been dashed.
Garosci (UPE). — (IT) Hr. formand, vor gruppe hilser med tilfredshed indgåelsen af denne aftale mellem Ukraine og Den Europæiske Union.
We should not be too complacent about how important it is to underpin political and economic reform in countries like Ukraine, because we have seen what can happen in other former Soviet States.
Den midlertidige aftale.
For example, extreme nationalists came third in the recent elections in Latvia.
Unionen har indgået med dette land er nemlig af betydning i to henseender, idet den dels ganske givet er en støtte og tilskyndelse til investeringer i de lande i det tidligere Sovjetunionen, der har vist mod og evne til at iværksætte, og dels udgør et yderligere skridt i retning af den udvidelse mod øst, som Den Europæiske Union ønsker i stadig højere grad.
We also have current opinion polls in Russia putting Aleksandr Lebed ahead, and the Communist Party ahead in the run-up to the elections for the Russian Duma on 17 December.
I begyndelsen kunne den forklares med, at Ukraine i strid med aftalerne diskriminerede europæiske skibsfartsselskaber ved tildeling af licens.
By supporting Ukraine and Mrs Mann's report and through this interim agreement, the EU can assist in ensuring economic and political stability for the whole region.
Man kan have mistanke om, at Rådet har anset det for passende at vente, indtil interimsaftalen med Rusland var undertegnet, for derefter at give Ukraine chancen for ligeledes at få undertegnet sin aftale.
This is vitally important, especially given the fact that with the accession of Finland we now have a common border with Russia.
Jeg finder ikke, denne fremgangsmåde er god.
Western aid was thus shown to be what it still is — a drop in the ocean — but it must be continued.
Det er selvstændige, indbyrdes uafhængige stater, og når blot der kan opstå mistanke om, at netop disse stater står på andenpladsen efter Rusland, skader vi dermed vores egen interesse, men først og fremmest Ukraine. Situationen i Ukraine bliver mere og mere dramatisk.
The success of all these endeavours will depend primarily upon the speed with which fundamental reform efforts, such as the codification of property law, the establishment of efficient public administration and the creation of confidence in the banking system, are brought to fruition.
Dyb recession, fortsat faldende bruttonationalprodukt, en usandsynlig høj inflation, stigende arbejdsløshed — dertil kommer de allerede nævnte nedarvede følger af katastrofen i Tjernobyl.
Unless confidence in the basic qualities of the country as a location can be engendered, not even the TACIS programme will be able to accelerate the economic development of Ukraine.
