Medens nogle forsvarer protektionistiske holdninger, f.eks. gennem afvisning af moratoriet om mekanismer til bilæggelse af tvister, har Europa-Parlamentet altid slået til lyd for, at de internationale handelsbestemmelser skal respektere miljønormerne, og at miljøbeskyttelse skal integreres i den internationale samhandel.
They defend it by, say, opposing the moratorium on dispute mechanisms. We, here in the European Parliament, have genuinely defended the commitment to ensuring that international trade rules respect environmental rules, and having international trade include environmental protection.
Der bliver nogle ikkestatslige organisationer, der vil modsætte sig denne tekst, fordi de altid har været imod enhver aftale, men der er andre - og det er dem, jeg nu henvender mig til - der vil se det som deres pligt altid at forlange mere.
There will be those NGOs who will oppose this text because they have always opposed any agreement but there are others - and it is to them that I address myself now - who will see it as their duty always to demand more.
Jeg vil gerne sige til dem, at de bad om indflydelse i GATT og i WTO.
I would like to say to them that they asked for influence in the GATT and in the WTO.
De har fået denne indflydelse, og under det nye WTO vil de få ny indflydelse.
They have had that influence and under the new WTO they will have new influence.
Med denne indflydelse følger en pligt og et ansvar, og hvad der passer sig for en ikke-statslig organisation, der råber i ørkenen, passer sig ikke for én, der er en seriøs forhandlingspartner.
With that influence comes a duty of responsibility and what is appropriate to a NGO crying in the wilderness is not appropriate to an NGO playing a serious part in serious negotiations.
Så jeg håber, at de seriøse ikkestatslige organisationer på begge sider af Atlanten, både mod nord og mod syd, vil se på den aftale, der er indgået, og føle, at de kan støtte den.
So I would hope all the serious NGOs on both sides of the Atlantic, in both north and south, will look at the agreement that has been reached and feel that they can support it.
Derfor er jeg ligesom hr. Spencer overbevist om, at den tekst, der nu cirkulerer i Genève, er et godt udgangspunkt.
Consequently, just like the honourable Thomas Spencer, I am convinced that the text now circulating in Geneva constitutes a good starting point.
Og da denne tekst foreslår, at Miljøkomitéen under Verdenshandelsorganisationen får et udviklingsmandat, er jeg overbevist om, at hvis vi fortsætter med at udøve pression, og hvis de ikkestatslige organisationer fortsætter med at udøve pression, vil der kunne skabes en helt ny situation i den internationale samhandel, idet miljøets betydning for første gang i 50 år anerkendes, og der oprettes et institutionelt miljøforum.
And since this text grants the Committee on the Environment - within the World Trade Organization - an evolving mandate, I am convinced that if we continue to exert pressure we will finally end up with a new world in terms of international trade. Moreover, for the first time in 50 years, we will see the importance of the environment recognized and an institutional forum for the environment set up.
Jeg anbefaler derfor, at Parlamentet vedtager Uruguay-Rundens slutakt, såfremt bestemmelserne i den tekst, der i øjeblikket cirkulerer i Genève, opfyldes.
I therefore recommend that this House approve the Uruguay Round if the terms of the text currently circulating in Geneva are fulfilled.
Endelig vil jeg gerne sige et ord til udviklingslandene, og i særdeleshed til deres dygtige ambassadører i Genève.
Finally, I should like to say a word to the developing countries and, in particular, to their skilled ambassadors in Geneva.
Vi forstår den mistanke, de nærer om protektionisme fra industrilandenes side.
We understand their suspicion of northern protectionism.
Den er retfærdiggjort af den historiske erfaring. Men jeg vil bede dem om at gå positivt ind i det nye WTO sammen med os og dets Komité for Samhandel og Miljø, for det er også deres planet.
It is justified by the historical experience.
Deres interesser tjenes bedst ved en intelligent og forsigtig multilateralisme angående disse vanskelige spørgsmål, snarere end ved at enkelte af de lande, der ligger mod nord, udviser brutal ensidighed.
Their interests are best served by an intelligent and cautious multilateralism on these difficult subjects rather than by an exercise of brutal unilateralism by individual northern countries.
Jeg er glad for at kunne anbefale denne betænkning til Parlamentet.
I am happy to recommend this report to the House.
Görlach (PSE), ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Landbrug, Fiskeri og Udvikling af Landdistrikter. -(DE) Hr. formand, Udvalget om Landbrug, Fiskeri og Udvikling af Landdistrikter har sammenfattet sin hold ning i syv punkter.
Görlach (PSE), draftsman of the opinion of the Commit tee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development. -(DE) Mr President, the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development has summarized its opinion in seven points.
Af tidsmæssig grunde indskrænker jeg mig til de fire vigtigste.
Due to time constraints I shall limit myself to the four most important of these.
For det første: Vi er af den opfattelse, at landbrugsdelen af Uruguay-rundens GATT-aftale kan accepteres som en del af den samlede aftale.
Firstly, we believe that the agricultural part of the Uruguay Round GATT agreement can be accepted as part of the overall agreement.
Trods vor kritik af nogle detaljer er vi af den opfattelse, at Fællesskabets landbrugsreform udtrykkelig accepteres gennem denne aftale, og det anser vi for en fordel.
Despite our criticism of some details, we feel that the Community's agricultural reform was expressly accepted by virtue of this agreement, and we regard this as advantageous.
Pimenta (LDR), ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Miljø- og Sundhedsanliggender og Forbrugerbeskyttelse. - (PT) Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, det er nu tre uger siden, at de langvarige forhandlinger under Uruguay-Runden afsluttedes.
Pimenta (LDR), draftsman of the opinion of the Commit tee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Protection. - (PT) Mr President, dear colleagues, we are three weeks away from the conclusion of the long negotiations of the Uruguay Round.
Europa-Parlamentet kan være tilfreds med, at det - på trods af sine begrænsede beføjelser - var i stand til at opnå konsensus om de vigtigste spørgsmål og dermed udøve en vis indflydelse på Kommissionen.
The European Parliament can look with some satisfaction at the way in which it - despite its limited powers - was able to analyze the main issues, find consensus on these issues and, consequently, exert an influence on the Commission.
Miljøet var et af de mest kontroversielle områder i den sidste forhandlingsfase, og jeg må
As the environment is one of the most controversial points in this phase of the negotiations, I must say that when I left for Geneva last week with our colleague, Thomas Spencer, I was very pessimistic, because the text which was on the table last Wednesday was not good. Indeed, it was devoid of much of its content.
For det andet: Helt logisk afleder vi naturligvis deraf det krav til Råd og Kommission, at den på grundlag af Edinburgh-aftalerne i GATT-aftalens green box sikrede
Secondly, logically enough, we derive from this the demand to the Council and Commission to now secure the direct payment guaranteed in the Green Box of the GATT agreement in budgetary terms for the period of
Görlach direkte indkomststøtte nu også sikres budgetmæssigt for den periode, hvor »fredsklausulen« gælder.
This necessity was confirmed in the GATT agreement, but now - in the future work of the WTO - it will be important to follow up this consensus with concrete actions that will have to be elaborated within the context of further negotiations and then implemented.
Udviklingslandene venter stadig derpå.
The developing countries are still waiting for it.
Der for siger Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde også, at et vigtigt aspekt i de kommende år også for Den Europæiske Union er kompensation.
Hence the Committee on Development and Cooperation says that compensation will also be an important aspect for the European Union in the years to come.
Vi advarer mod én ting.
We are issuing one warning.
Lad ikke denne kompensation betyde, at vi vil kompensere i form af fødevarehjælp, for så indfører vi igen dumping af fødevarer.
Let that compensation not mean that we will have to give compensation in the form of food aid, because then we will open the door for food dumping once again.
Jeg forelægger dette problem for Dem her.
I am putting this problem to you here today.
For det tredje: Vi er af den opfattelse, at en yderligere forbedring af forholdet mellem landbrug og miljø er nødvendig.
Precisely due to the significance of agriculture and environmental policy we naturally expect Parliament to be involved in the work done by the WTO in these areas.
Denne nødvendighed blev ganske vist stadfæstet i GATT-aftalen.
Of course, the same applies to other areas, especially with regard to the possible creation of a committee on trade and the environment.
Men nu gælder det fremover i forbindelse med WTO's arbejde om, at denne enighed også følges op af konkrete handlinger, som skal udformes inden for rammerne af yderligere forhandlinger og så gennemføres.
So the view of the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Develop ment can be summed up as follows: The committee is not entirely satisfied, but we can live with the agreement.
Det er ikke for ingenting, at en halv million landmænd i Indien allerede et antal gange igen er gået ud på gaden og har demonstreret af angst for, at de ikke længere kan beskytte deres egen intellektuelle ejendom og udviklede produkter.
Not for nothing have half a million farmers in India already taken to the streets several times to demonstrate for fear of no longer being able to protect their own intellectual property and developed products.
Fra generation til generation har de i landmandsfamilierne udviklet deres egne planter og arter, og nu skal de bevise, at de ikke har brugt de store virksomheders arter, som har et forspring med bioteknologi.
Generation after generation of them have developed their own plants and strains as farming families, and now they will have to prove that they have not used any strains produced by the major companies that have a head start in the area of biotechnology.
Den europæiske udviklingspolitik skal også være rettet mod støtte af beskyttelsen og deponeringen af deres egen intellektuelle ejendom. dom.
The European development policy will also have to be aimed at supporting the protection and depositing of their own intellectual property.
Endelig er der sidst, men ikke mindst WTO's demokratiske indhold.
Finally, last but not least, there is the question of the democratic quality of the WTO.
Hvilken holdning vil udviklingslandene indtage der?
What will be the position of the developing countries in that organization?
Hvem kontrollerer dem?
Who will control them?
Hvordan finder denne beslutningsproces præcist sted?
Exactly how will decisions be made?
I hvert fald har jeg angivet, at vi egentlig stadig står ved begyndelsen.
In any case, I have made it clear that we are in actual fact still at the beginning.
GATT er der nu, og nu skal vi i gang, og her må udviklingslandene ikke glemmes.
GATT is here now, so now we must start over again and this time the developing countries must not be forgotten.
Europa kan ikke gøre det sammen med kun De Forenede Stater. Denne fare lurer.
Europe cannot go it alone together with the United States.
Van Putten (PSE), ordfører for udtalelsen fra Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde. - (NL) Hr. formand, det er tydeligt, at Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde nu her i dag for første gang virkelig udtaler sig i denne Forsamling.
Van Putten (PSE), Draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Development and Cooperation. - (NL) Mr President, it is clear that the Committee on Development and Cooperation is speaking out properly here in the House today.
Efter at have talt i halvandet år med bl.a. de halvfjerds AVS-lande er det på tide, at også udviklings landene og udviklingslandenes problematik i GATT-regi tages op her, for det har vi indtil nu temmelig ofte glemt.
After 18 months of speaking with the 70 ACP countries, among others, it was time for the developing countries, too, and their problems within the context of GATT to feature on the agenda here, because they have been forgotten up to now.
Beslutningen blev truffet, siger man, den 15. december, og det vedrørte faktisk en aftale mellem De Forenede Stater, Japan og Europa.
The decision was made, so they say, on 15 December, and it actually concerned an agreement between the United States, Japan and Europe.
Men en sådan meddelelse tydeliggør nøjagtigt, hvad disse to blokke sammen med Japan har gjort.
However, such news coverage makes it very clear what the two blocs did together with Japan.
Resten af verden og frem for alt udviklingslandene har jo efter vor mening i alt for høj grad stået ude ved sidelinjen.
In our opinion, the rest of the world, and especially the developing countries, have stood on the sidelines far too much.
Hvad man hører i korridorerne fra AVS-kredse, er: Vi burde egentlig ikke underskrive, men vi har ikke noget valg.
What you hear whispered in the corridors in ACP circles is this: to tell you the truth, we should not have to sign, but we have no choice.
Det viser, i hvor høj grad de skubbes til side. Hvor stor fortjeneste skaffer GATT dem?
That shows just how marginalized they are.
Det er forskelligt.
That varies.
Randzio-Plath (PSE). - (DE) Hr. formand, kommissærens løfte lige i begyndelsen af denne drøftelse om, at der ikke hersker tvivl om artikel 228, stk. 3, 2. punktum som retsgrundlag, er et vigtigt punkt.
Randzio-Plath (PSE). - (DE) Mr President, the assurance about the legal basis of Article 228, paragraph 3, clause 2, given by the Commissioner right at the beginning of this debate is an important point.
Parlamentet skal derfor endnu i år stemme for, dersom disse tilsagn rent faktisk genspejles i slutdokumenterne.
Consequently, Parliament must indicate its agreement with them before the end of the year if these undertakings are actually reflected in the final documents.
Det er vigtigt i disse slutdokumenter at understrege de præcise fremskridt på alle områder.
It is important to underline the specific progress made in all areas in these final documents.
Jeg støtter udtrykkelig kommissæren i hans krav om at gøre Den Europæiske Union til forhandling spartner i de ni's verdenshandelsorganisation, for vi ønsker jo ikke en bagudrettet retsudvikling, men en fremadrettet retsudvikling i den fælles handelspolitik.
I expressly support the Commissioner in his call to make the European Union a contracting partner of the World Trade Organization of the Nine, for we want to see a progressive - not a regressive - development of the legal situation regarding common trade policy.
Men der vil, i hvert fald på kort sigt, også frem for alt være tabere.
But, in the short term at least, there will also primarily be losers.
Taberne er de fødevareimporterende lande.
The losers are the countries that import foodstuffs.
Denne liste stiger ifølge FAO ligesom antallet af mindst udviklede lande.
According to the FAO, that list is growing in the less well developed countries.
Denne runde har efter mange vanskeligheder og under ændrede verdensøkonomiske vilkår gjort store fremskridt med hensyn til tarifering.
According to the OECD, in the year 2002 the profit for the industrialized world will be $274 billion per year, but for the countries of sub-Saharan Africa the OECD is forecasting a loss of $2.6 billion a year.
Her skal Europa-Parlamentet og navnlig Kommissionen træde varsomt, så at de fremskridt, der er opnået, ikke udhules. ,
That is just a figure, but it does indicate that there are rather a lot of problems.
Derer flere spørgsmål.
There are more questions.
I Punte del Este-erklæringen blev der opnået enighed om, at der skal tages hensyn til udviklingslandenes særlige position.
In the Punte del Este declaration it was agreed that the special position of the developing countries should be taken into account.
Forhandlingerne skulle gennemføres på transparant vis, med fuldgyldig deltagelse af udviklingslande og med speciel hensyntagen til de mindst udviklede landes handelsposition for at finde ud af, om løftet om differential and more favourable treatment af udviklingslandene er overholdt. Der skulle inden afslutningen af aftalen foretages en evaluering.
The negotiations should run in a transparent fashion with full participation by the developing countries and special consideration for the trading position of the least well developed countries with a view to establishing whether the developing countries have actually benefited from differential and more favourable treatment.
Analyserer vi de hidtidige resultater, kan man kalde det en stor succes, at aftalen om verdenshandelen omsider er blevet udvidet med den betydningsfulde ekspanderende handel med tjenesteydelser.
Looking at the results achieved up to now, one achieve ment that can be described as a great success is that the important area of expanding trade in services was finally added to the world trade agreement.
Også her blev der opnået gode resultater, men der er endnu meget, der skal fastsættes bestemmelser om.
Here, too, good results have been achieved, but a great deal remains to be
Randzio-Plath har en række hastigheder.
settled. It is disappointing that no settlements could be reached in many areas, e.g. in the maritime transport or telecommunications sector.
I verden er antallet af hastigheder på miljøområdet utælleligt.
Worldwide, the number of speeds in the environmental sector is innumerable.
Jeg vil gerne udtrykkelig fremhæve udviklingslandenes vilje til at gøre indrømmelser, netop hvad beskyttelsen af den intellektuelle ejendomsret angår.
I would expressly like to underline the willingness of the developing countries to make concessions, especially with regard to protecting intellectual property.
Det er derfor kun ret og rimeligt, at de industrialiserede lande gør vidtgående indrømmelser og tilbyder finansiel udligning, for at udviklingslandenes indrømmelser ikke skal komme dem til skade.
Consequently, it is only fair and right that the industrialized nations should in turn make extensive concessions and offer some sort of financial compensation so that the developing countries do not suffer any disadvantages as a result of these concessions.
I øvrigt er jeg af den opfattelse, at den forbedrede beskyttelse af den intellektuelle ejendomsret i nær fremtid kan føre til øgede investeringer i udviklings landene.
Moreover, in my opinion the improved protection of intellectual property could lead to greater investments in the near future.
Med hensyn til den sociale klausul ville jeg gå ind for, at der engang fastsættes regler for børnearbejde på verdens plan, men også i Unionen, må jeg sige.
As for the social clause, I would be in favour of something on child labour being settled worldwide, including in the Union, I might add.
Fagforeningsrettigheder, et forbud mod tvunget arbejde og menneskerettigheder, det anser jeg for at være af stor betydning.
Trade union rights, a ban on forced labour, and human rights are all extremely important.
Men jeg ville dog ikke gå videre her for ikke at blive beskyldt for en social protektionisme.
Furthermore, however, I would not like to take this up so as not to be accused of social protectionism.
Vi vil i Nederlandene f.eks. gerne afskaffe minimumlønnen.
In the Netherlands, for example, we would like to ban minimum wages.
Amerikanerne har ikke undertegnet alle ILO-konventioner.
The Americans have not signed all the ILO agreements.
Hvad vil vi bede udviklingslandene om?
What do we intend to ask of the developing countries?
Kina er i forbindelse med GATT stadig et vigtigt emne.
In 1990, the European Parliament already stressed that trade, the environment and development must be viewed together.
Jeg har endnu ikke hørt det, og jeg vil lige nævne det.
Many people considered these proposals by the European Parliament to be naive.
Det er af største betydning, at Kina optages i GATT, og at Kina vil opføre sig som et ansvarligt medlem af det internationale samfund.
I am happy that there have been some successes in the meantime regarding the issue of trade and the environment, and that new insights into the links between trade and development are becoming established.
Det er vigtigt for alle, at Kina bindes inden for GATT og ikke længere som et udviklingsland. lingsland.
However, the democratization of the institutions within the World Trade Organization is also important, so that they are not only an instrument used by the more economically powerful elements in this world.
Europa-Parlamentet fremhævede allerede i 1990, at sam handel, miljø og udvikling skal ses i én sammenhæng. Mange var af den mening, at disse tanker fra Europa-Parlamentet var naive.
China is another important topic in the context of GATT.
Det glæder mig, at der i spørgsmålet om samhandel og miljø i mellemtiden er opnået positive resultater og at ny indsigt gør sig gældende, for så vidt angår relationerne mellem samhandel og udvikling.
It is of the utmost importance that China is included in GATT and that it behaves like a responsible member of the international community.
Men demokratiseringen af institutionerne i verdens handelsorganisationen er også vigtig, så at den ikke kun bliver et instrument for de økonomisk stærkeste i verden.
It is important for everyone that China is included in GATT and no longer counted as a developing country.
Jeg har lige et teknisk spørgsmål til kommissæren.
I have one further technical question for the Commission er.
Jeg har forstået, at han vil tale med medlemsstaterne på grundlag af artikel 113, men med Parlamentet på grund lag af artikel 228, stk. 2,3.
I understood that he wants to speak with the Member States on the basis of Article 113, but with Parliament on the basis of Article 228, paragraph 2, clause 3.
Måske kan han lige forklare -jeg har måske ikke forstået det rigtigt - hvordan han vil gøre det rent teknisk.
Perhaps he could explain the technical procedure for this: I may not have understood it correctly.
Peijs (PPE). - (NL) Hr. formand, de seneste år er der spekuleret stadig mere over opståeisen af handelsblokke i verden.
Peijs (PPE). - (NL) Mr President, in recent years there has been increasing speculation about the origin of the trade blocks in the world.
Vi har Den Europæiske Union, vi har NAFTA, vi har ASEAN, og vi har MERCOSUR, men jeg tror, at den vellykkede afslutning af denne runde har kvalt den virkelige blokdannelse i fødslen, hvilket jeg finder en udmærket udvikling.
We have the European Union, NAFTA, ASEAN and MERCOSUR, but I think that the successful conclusion of this round of GATT has nipped any real block-forming in the bud, a development which I think is really positive.
For øvrigt synes jeg, at en indbyrdes ordning, således som vi har det i Europa, således som vi ser det i Amerika, kan udvikle markeder, som hidtil udelukkende var rettet mod eksport.
Moreover, I think that a settlement amongst ourselves, as we have in Europe and are now seeing in the United States, could develop markets that have in the past solely and exclusively been aimed at exports.
Jeg tror, at det vil være til fordel for menneskene der.
I believe it will benefit the people there.
Jeg tror, at det vil være til fordel for enhver.
I believe everyone will benefit.
De Clercq (LDR). - (NL) Hr. formand, der er forskellige grunde til, at vi bifalder undertegnelsen af Uruguay-Runde-aftalen.
De Clercq (LDR). - (NL) Mr President, there are various reasons why we can rejoice at the signature of the Uruguay Round agreement.
Jeg vil nævne nogle af dem.
Let me cite a few of them.
