Unionen skal gøre mere alvor af afviklingen af de ikke-toldmæssige hindringer og endvidere stræbe efter at udvide præferenceordningen til at omfatte flere produkter såsom landbrugsprodukter.
Since this revenue came from customs duties, it was paid by foreign taxpayers, the rich taxpayers of the Arab Emirates, for example, or Taiwan or Singapore, the second world power in terms of productivity.
Desuden skal Unionen sørge for, at præferencerne for landene i Central- og Østeuropa ikke sker på bekostning af udviklingslandene.
In 1995, customs duties have dwindled to 17% of the revenue of the European Community.
Og hvad har vi så fundet i dette ændringsforslag, hr. formand?
We have lost nearly nine per cent.
Blot en smålig ide om støtte til udvikling.
For a country like France, it is a present in the order of eight billion francs, made each year to Singapore, Dubai, etc.
Og man må prise sig lykkelig over, at vi har vi skiftet juridisk grundlag, ellers ville vi end ikke have haft
This involves those countries which have reached a level of develop ment at which they no longer need the benefits of the preference system; I am thinking here of Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and various Gulf States.
Martinez ret til at diskutere på grundlag af artikel 113, hvis Kommissionen havde fået sin vilje.
Martinez land taxes and all French companies from inheritance taxes.
Og når et socialt væsen opgiver sin immunforsvar, skal man ikke blive overrasket over, at det pådrager sig AIDS.
Now, as inheritance tax leads to the loss of 100 000 jobs per year in France, thanks to the GSP, we have lost 700 000 jobs in France.
I tilfældet med Europa-Kommissionen er det mental AIDS, hr. formand.
Well done, European Commission! sion!
For at belyse denne sag, der er lidt teknisk, vil jeg gerne fortælle Dem et eventyr - der er ikke så langt til jul - et eventyr med titlen »Der var engang nogle asparges fra Peru«.
On the question of sensitive goods: we are de facto creating strong protectionism in some areas by using the term sensitive goods and I wonder whether that is always right.
I 1988 var Perus eksport af asparges ved hjælp af toldpræferencer firdoblet: 32.000 tons asparges fra Peru væltede ind over Europa, via Nederlandene, der dog ikke mistede overblikket og solgte 17.000 tons til os.
The developing countries suffer from the fact that they simply cannot export certain sensitive goods.
Af den grund forsvandt 5.000 hektar asparges i Frankrig, og man opdagede, at gaven til Peru i virkeligheden var en gave til de multinationale amerikanske selskaber, der producerede asparges i Peru.
I also doubt whether we would derive any benefit from that kind of protectionist attitude in the long run or whether that is really the best thing for us.
Hr. formand, dette eventyr om asparges fra Peru viser os i kort gengivelse hele systemet med generelle præferencer, med opgivelsen af toldrettighederne gennem Lomékonventionen, associeringsaftalerne og den fælles land brugforordning.
Surely we are only protecting obsolete structures. The sooner we take steps towards restructuring, particularly in those areas in which we really have advantages in competition and do not have to seal ourselves off, the better it will be for us.
Jeg har kunnet følge dens tilblivelse i Udvalget om Udvikling og Samarbejde, og jeg kan virkelig kun bekræfte resultatet.
Obviously, we had been told that it was necessary to grub up the vines because wine cost ECU 1,5 billion.
GSP er et middel til udviklingssamarbejde.
It is precisely the present which we are making, through the GSP, to the richest States in the world.
Ordningen blev konstrueret for at give udviklingslandene bedre adgang til verdenshandelen.
1,5 billion! We were told in a killjoy fashion that the cost of stocks was too high for foodstuffs, that fallow land must be sown, because it was costing us several million ecus.
En fri handel eraf grundlæggende betydning for udviklingslandene.
Seven billion in lost customs revenue in favour of the richest countries, not to mention the common agricultural levy.
Derfor er handelslempelser for udviklingslandene af særdeles stor betydning for deres fortsatte udvikling.
This is the sum of twenty years of stupidity by the European Commission, which has squandered the money of European taxpayers in favour of the richest in the world.
For at forbedre situationen, er det nødvendigt med adgang til markederne på mange områder.
On the subject of asparagus, I would simply like to ask our colleague on the extreme right: would he like more drugs to be grown in Pern?
Kommissionens forslag indeholder forskellige forbedringer, men vi bliver dog nok nødt til at gå langt videre.
What should we do? We have to combat the dmgs trade, but we cannot do so if we offer the people no alternative, if we do not tell them what they should grow instead and what they should live on.
Det er vigtigt - det understreges flere gange, men man kan ikke sige det for tit-, at de lande, der er least developed, d.v.s. de fattigste af de fattige, virkelig profiterer af denne ordning.
W7e have to think about that too and I wonder whether in this case it is only the Commission that is being stupid or also this gentleman, who is simply not taking such things into account.
Omfanget af Det Europæiske Fællesskabs toldindtægter var i 1988 på 26 %.
Yes, the attempt will be made to take account of slavery, prisoners, environ mental conditions.
Disse indtægter hidrørte fra toldafgifter og blev derfor betalt af udenlandske bidragydere, nemlig de rige bidragydere f. eks. fra De Forenede Arabiske Emirater eller Taiwan eller Singapore, den næststørste magt i verden, hvad angår produktivitet.
Incidentally, when Mr Delors goes to a football match, he will finally concern himself about the fact that the ball was made in Pakistan by a boy of 7, who works 17 hours a day and dies of tuberculosis at 15.
Vi har tabt næsten ni point. Ni point, det er syv milliarder ECU, det er toogfyrre milliarder francs, som man har lettet de udenlandske bidragydere med, og som man har påført de europæiske bidragydere.
But the reality is quite simple.
For et land som Frankrig er det en gave i størrelse sordenen otte milliarder francs, der hvert år gives til Singapore, Dubai osv. Otte milliarder francs, det er nok til at fritage alle franske landmænd for grundskatter og alle franske virksomheder for arveafgift.
And through association agreements, relinquishment of the common agricultural levy, Lomé Conventions and GSP, we have gradually renounced the immunological barrier of the European Community.
Da arveafgift hvert år får 100.000 arbejdspladser til at forsvinde takket være GSP-ordningen, har vi i Frankrig tabt 700.000 arbejdspladser. Bravo, Europa-Kommission!
When a social body gives up its immunological barrier, it is not surprising if it catches AIDS.
Med hensyn til spørgsmålet om følsomme produkter: vi skaber med stikordet følsomme produkter på nogle områder de facto en stærk protektionisme, og jeg spørger mig selv, om det mon er det rigtige.
After all we do not want to protect the firms that sometimes exploit the people, the workers. I do not think the example of the children selling flowers in Brussels is at all comparable to the situation of children in the developing countries.
Udviklingslandene lider netop under, at de ikke kan eksportere bestemte følsom me produkter.
I myself worked in a developing country for a while and I know that there really is a difference between selling flowers on the street in Brussels - for a few hours a week perhaps - and being exploited in a developing country.
Jeg tvivler også på, at vi i længden vil have nogen som helst fordel af en så protektionistisk holdning og på, at det virkelig tjener vores sag.
We need stronger terms in many areas of development policy, for we want to achieve development and we do not want to help the heads of state or those who exploit the people in the developing countries.
Naturligvis har man sagt til os, at der måtte ryddes i vinmarkernes omfang, fordi vin kostede 1,5 mia. ECU.
Liese (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, I would like to begin once again, as often before, by thanking Mrs Maij-Weggen for her really excellent report.
Det er nøjagtig den gave, som man med GSP-ordningen har giver til jordens rigeste stater.
I was able to follow the development of the report in the Committee on Development and Cooperation and I really can only support the result.
Man har sagt til os på den jammerligste måde, at omkostningerne til fødevarer lagrene var for store, og der måtte braklægges, fordi det kostede os nogle millioner ECU.
The GSP is an instrument of develop ment cooperation. It was created in order to offer the developing countries better access to international trade.
Syv milliarder i tab i toldindtægter til fordel for de rigeste lande, for slet ikke at komme ind på den fælles landbrugsforordning.
Free trade is of fundamental importance to the develop ing countries.
Dette er resultatet af tyve års stupiditet hos Europa-Kommissionen, der har bortødslet de europæiske bidragyderes penge til gunst for de rigeste i verden.
Not some dubious institute but the World Bank and the IMF say that protectionism in the industrial ized countries, and in fact not just in the European Union, causes damage in the developing countries that is twice as high as the total public development aid.
Med hensyn til eksemplet med asparges: Jeg vil gerne spørge vores kollega fra det yderste højre: ville han foretrække, at man i Peru blev ved med at dyrke narkotika?
Finally, let me emphasize once again that there is a need for action in development policy because the people in developing countries are suffering, because we will be seeing extreme movements of migration and a population explosion that we will no longer be able to control and because we need global environmental protection.
Hvad skal vi så gøre?
We must make greater efforts to resolve these problems.
Men i dag er der fremskridt.
Market access is needed in many areas if the situation is to be improved.
Ja, man vil holde regnskab med slaveriarbejde, fanger og miljøforhold.
The Commission proposal contains definite improvements, but we should really go much further.
Når hr. Delors overværer en fodboldkamp, kan han jo passende tænke på den kendsgerning, at bolden er fremstillet i Pakistan af en knægt på 7 år, der arbejder 17 timer i døgnet for som 15-årig at dø af tuberkulose.
What is important - as has been pointed out a number of times but cannot be said too often - is that the least developed countries, i.e., the poorest of the poor, can really benefit from this system.
Med hensyn til spørgsmålet om social- og miljøklausuler: jeg ved godt, at de er omstridte, men jeg anser det alligevel for rigtigt at gøre brug af dem.
On behalf of the Commission, I have of course noted what has been said, and I am pleased to be able to say, Mr President, that in all essentials we can share the view which the rapporteur and most of the speakers have expressed in the debate.
Man påstår, at det er formynderi. Det bestrider jeg.
There are obviously some areas where we do not agree.
Vi kan godtage en række ændringsforslag.
It is an instmment of trade policy which is based on tariffication.
Vi kan godtage ændringsforslag nr. 2.
But it does not of course alter the fact that this may also be seen from the perspective of develop ment policy, and this we recognize also by taking on board Amendment No 2, and it is also evident from the fact that the Commission, as a link in the inter-institutional dialogue, will take the greatest possible account of the observations which Parliament puts forward, which is also the reason why we have called on the Council to ask the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee to deliver an opinion on the proposal.
Det skal jeg senere vende tilbage til.
We come now to Amendment No 3.
Det erdet ændringsforslag, som fastslår, at GSP er et af de vigtigste midler til at fremme udviklingen.
The imbalance between Asia and Latin America, to which reference is made, is not in itself an unusual situation, making it proper to use GSP to correct the effects thereof.
Vi kan godkende ændringsforslag nr. 4 og ændringsforslag nr. 6.
The imbalance in question here may just as easily be attributed to purely internal factors in the relevant countries.
Det skal jeg også senere vende tilbage til.
There may be differences in the export structure.
jo ikke parate til at beskytte de virksomheder, der delvis udbytter arbejdstagerne.
on a large number of the implementation mechanisms which the Commission has proposed.
Eksemplet med blomsterhandlerne i Bruxelles er efter min mening overhovedet ikke sammenligneligt med børnenes situation i udviklingslandene.
In this connection, I would like simply to observe that there is a need to simplify the existing system. This was a question which was dealt with by Mr Donnelly and others.
Jeg har selv i en periode arbejdet i et udviklings land, og jeg ved, at der er stor forskel på, om man sælger blomster på gaden i Bruxelles - måske i et par timer om ugen - eller man bliver udbyttet i et udviklingsland.
On this matter, I would say that it is clear that the system may appear complicated even in the new proposal on account of the many different situations with which it deals, but from the purely administrative point of view the proposal we have put forward involves a marked simplification compared to the existing situation.
Vi har brug for en større konditionering på en række områder inden for udviklingspolitikken, for vi ønsker, at der skal ske en udvikling, og vi ønsker ikke at hjælpe statscheferne eller de folk, der udbytter befolkningerne i udviklingslandene.
We have established the so-called modulation system which is stabilized over a threeyear period instead of one year, and which is applied to all beneficiaries, and this should now remedy the drawbacks which have hitherto existed and at the same time simplify the overall administration of tariffs.
Vi har også brug for miljøklausulerne af hensyn til den globale miljøbeskyttelse, for hvordan skulle en global miljøbeskyttelse være mulig, hvis vi gennem GSP for eksempel gav anledning til yderligere rydning af tropeskovene? Der skal være en miljøklausul om dette.
In our opinion, the new system will also improve the degree of transparency, since it clearly identifies those criteria which are used to determine which countries and which sectors are affected by the so-called graduation.
Jeg skal i den forbindelse lige understrege, hvad en tidligere taler også har sagt, nemlig at Uruguay-runden og resultatet, der kom ud af den, jo helt naturligt forbedrer det generelle markedsadgangsniveau, så man kan ikke bare ud fra den hidtidige udvikling slutte ret meget om GSP's betydning.
I would stress, in this connection, what a previous speaker has also mentioned, namely that the Uruguay Round and the result obtained there naturally improve the general level of market access, so that we cannot conclude very much with regard to the significance of GSP simply from the developments which have taken place.
Den gradvise globale liberalisering af verdenshandelen har jo til en vis grad overtaget GSP-behandlingens formål.
The gradual global liberalization of world trade has of course to some extent overtaken the aims of the GSP.
Vi kan godkende ændringsforslag nr. 10, 11, 14, som jeg håber delvis imødekommer det, fru Junker sagde vedrørende miljø.
We can accept Amendments Nos 10, 11, 14, which I hope partly satisfies what Mrs Junker said concerning the environment.
Vi kan godkende ændringsforslag nr. 16, 18 og 21.
We can accept Amendments Nos 16, 18 and 21.
Ændringsforslag nr. 21 berører jo den problemstilling, som flere talere, både ordføreren fru Maij-Weggen og fru Palacio Vallerlersundi har været inde på vedrørende ligestilling mellem mænd og kvinder.
Amendment No 21 deals with the problem which a number of speakers, both the rapporteur Mrs Maij-Weggen and Mrs Palacio Vallelersundi have mentioned, concerning equality between men and women.
Vi kan godkende ændringsforslag nr. 29 og 31.
We can accept Amendments Nos 29 and 31.
Så kommer vi til de ændringsforslag, hvor vi har en anden opfattelse, og hvor vi derfor ikke kan godkende dem.
The mies of origin mentioned under (b) are dealt with in another legal context, and so reference cannot be made directly to this in the actual GSP.
Det første er ændringsforslag nr. 1 i forordningen om industrisektoren, og det er spørgsmålet om retsgrundlaget.
I wish to stress that this does not mean we disagree with Parliament in its basic position on the question, but we do not think this proposed amendment is adequate.
Vi finder det ikke hensigtsmæssigt at føje artikel 130 W til.
We then have a number of Amendments, namely Nos 7, 19, 34, 35 and 36.
Ud over de politiske problemer, som vi alle ved, det vil skabe i Rådet, så mener vi heller ikke, det er rigtigt, fordi vi trods alt taler om et handelspolitisk instrument. Det er et handelspolitisk instrument, som er baseret på toldteknik.
As far as these are concerned, I wish to say that we are not opposed to the most advanced countries which benefit from GSP being excluded in the course of time from the system, but we do not think an immediate exclusion of these countries would be appropriate, since a total exclusion of this kind could put a political strain on our relations with them and would also be economically inappropriate.
Så kommer vi til ændringsforslag nr. 3.
But I would like to make a few qualifications.
Den skævhed mellem Asien og Latinamerika, hvortil der henvises, er ikke i sig selv et anormalt element, som gør det berettiget at anvende GSP for at korrigere virkningerne heraf.
First, we do not give GSP treatment to a country which has a gross national product per inhabitant greater than is found in the Community. This is therefore one restriction.
Den skævhed, som man her kan tale om, kan i lige så høj grad tilskrives rent interne faktorer i de pågældende lande.
In this connection, since both Mrs Maij-Weggen and Mr Martinez mentioned Taiwan, I would draw your attention to the fact that we do not give GSP treatment to Taiwan.
Det kan være forskelle i eksportens struktur.
Taiwan is not on the list.
Det kan for Latinamerikas vedkommende i høj grad være en stor traditionel samhandel med De Forenede Stater.
It is also a fact that the countries which are very high up in terms of gross national product receive a very modest share of the overall GSP benefit.
Det kan skyldes de indenlandske markeders meget forskellige størrelser.
There are other countries, such as China for example, which take a very large share of the GSP in terms of volume or value.
Christophersen, næstformand i Kommissionen. - Hr. forrryjnd, det har været en lang, men nyttig debat.
And so we come to the amendments on which we take a different view and which we therefore cannot accept.
I den forbindelse vil jeg godt lige gøre en enkelt bemærkning om behovet for en forenkling af den eksisterende ordning.
The legal basis should, in our opinion, continue to be Article 113, just as it was for the previous systems.
Det var et spørgsmål, som blev berørt både af hr. Donnelly og af andre.
We do not consider it appropriate to add Article 130W.
Men det, hr. formand, er en mere generel bemærkning fremkaldt af nogle af de indlæg jeg har lyttet til.
Over and above the political problems which we all know it will create in the Council, we do not think it is right either,
De i litra b) nævnte oprindelsesregler behandles i en anden retslig sammenhæng, og der kan derfor ikke direkte henvises dertil i selve GSP.
But when we do not take account of gross national product per inhabitant alone, it is also because we put emphasis on the industrialization in the recipient countries.
Jeg vil godt understrege, at det er altså ikke ensbetydende med, at vi ikke er enige med Parlamentet i dets grundholdning til spørgs-
It is also the level of industrialization which may be taken as a basis for how we phase countries out of GSP treatment.
Der er, som jeg sagde, naturligvis også uenighed, men lad mig nu først nævne, hvilke ændringsforslag vi da heldig
But we clearly recognize that there are countries with which we should concern ourselves to a greater
Der er altså én begrænsning.
Debates of the European Parliament
Taiwan er ikke på listen.
No 4-453/201
Det sagde vi i vores meddelelse fra 1. juni 1994, men vi mener ikke, at den betingelse er opfyldt i dag.
Christophersen but four Member States which constitute a blocking minority.
Det er ikke tre, men fire medlemslande, der udgør et blokerende mindretal, og fru Maij-Weggen kender det ene af de lande, og jeg kender det andet særdeles godt, og det er beklageligt, men vi må bare konstatere, at vi ikke engang inden for vores egne rammer er i stand til at opnå en sådan konsensus.
Mrs Maij-Weggen knows one of the countries, and I know the other one especially well, and it is regrettable, but something we just have to recognize, that we are unable to reach such a consensus even among ourselves.
Men det er klart, at vi anerkender, at der er lande, som vi skal beskæftige os mere med end andre, og det er her, jeg kommer tilbage til ændringsforslag nr. 6, som vi er parat til at acceptere.
extent than with other countries, and it is on this point that I return to Amendment No 6, which we are prepared to accept.
Vi finder det rigtigt, at man ved udløbet af ordningens funktionsperiode skal undersøge, om de fattigere lande har et behov for yderligere markedsadgang, og om Kommissionen i så fald skal stille et nyt forslag.
We think it right that, at the end of the period for which the system applies, we should examine whether the poorer countries need further market access, and whether the Commission in such circumstances should put forward a new proposal.
Så har vi ændringsforslag nr. 25.
Turning to Amendment No 25.
Bl.a. hr. Donnelly rejste spørgsmålet om intellektuelle ejendomsrettigheder.
Mr Donnelly, among others, raised the question of intellectual property rights.
Det er efter vor opfattelse allerede dækket af artikel 9, stk. 1.
In our opinion, this is already covered by article 9, para 1.
Ændringsforslag nr. 26 er også efter vor opfattelse overflødigt.
We also consider Amendment No 26 to be superfluous.
Det er dækket af artikel 13.
It is covered by article 13.
Så er der ændringsforslag nr. 8.
Now to Amendment No 8.
Efter vores opfattelse ville en tærskel for anvendelsen af den såkaldte solidaritetsmekanisme på 15-20% pr. land af eksporten af varer, der er berettiget til GSP, have alt for mærkbare virkninger i nogle lande, og derfor mener vi, at den er for radikal eller for abrupt, og vi kan ikke godtage det ændringsforslag. slag.
In our opinion, a threshold for the use of the so-called solidarity mechanism of 15-20% per country of the export of goods entitled to GSP would have excessive effects in some countries, and we there fore think that it is too radical or too sudden, and we cannot accept this proposed amendment.
Vi har ændringsforslag nr. 28.
Now to Amendment No 28.
Efter vores mening kan den rimelige frist, der sættes for afgivelse af de oplysninger, som er nævnt i artikel 11, stk. 5, variere kraftigt fra sag til sag, og derfor synes vi ikke, det er rigtigt at fastsætte en maksimumsfrist, som under visse omstændigheder kan vise sig at være utilstrækkelig.
In our opinion, the reasonable time limit set for submission of the information as stated in article 11, para 5, may vary considerably from one case to another, and for this reason we do not think it right to set a maximum time limit which, under certain circumstances, may prove to be insufficient.
Der må der være mulighed for den fornødne fleksibilitet.
There must be room for the necessary flexibility.
Så har vi ændringsforslagene nr. 12, 23, 24 og 27, som beskæftiger sig med børnearbejde.
Turning to Amendments Nos 12, 23, 24 and 27, which relate to child labour.
Efter vores opfattelse skal børnearbejde, som vi ved er et fænomen med direkte tilknytning til selve udviklingsniveauet, i første række behandles ved hjælp af positive foranstaltninger.
In our opinion, child labour, which we know is a phenomenon directly associated with the actual level of development, should first and foremost be dealt with by means of positive measures.
