Det må erkendes, at der kun er tale om begrænsede forbedringer i det foreliggende forslag, men der er ikke mulighed for at nå videre på nuværende tidspunkt, sluttede Jutta HAUG (PSE, D).
Otherwise there was a danger of duplication and confusion of roles between the two organisations.
Kommissionens forslag er i overensstemmelse med beslutningerne fra topmødet i Berlin, sagde kommissær Michaele SCHREYER. Det forventes, at medlemsstaterne skærper kontrolforanstaltningerne, hvis de som foreslået får lov til at tilbageholde 25% af de traditionelle indtægtsformer, sagde hun.
Gary TITLEY (PES, North West) on the other hand, felt the lessons from Kosovo showed that at a political level, the EU could adopt a common position and could play a crucial role in negotiations as President Ahtisaari had shown.
Parlamentets Budgetudvalg har med Jutta H AUG (PSE, D) som ordfører udarbejdet en betænkning på baggrund af Kommissionens forslag.
NATO, he added, showed that it could work well under US leadership but When this was absent then Europe should act.
Udvalget foreslår, at Kommissionen frem til 2003 skal undersøge sammenhæng og virksomhed i toldetaterne.
At present, as he pointed out, military wise, Europe was entirely dependent on the USA.
Formålet hermed er at fremme en langsigtet reform af ordningen med egne indtægter. Endvidere foreslår udvalget, at der ikke foretages yderligere ændringer i finansieringen af Storbritanniens rabatordning.
What was needed, he added, was a European defence review to include a commitment that defence in the new era should not be based on conscription and outdated ideas relating to the Cold War.
Kommissæren understregede, at der er enighed mellem Parlamentet og Kommissionen på en lang række områder.
He also sought clarification for the role of non-EU NATO states such as Turkey.
Endelig foreslår udvalget at etablere en budgetreserve til dækning af uforudsete markedsudviklinger samt at fremskynde Kommissionens analysearbejde med henblik på en reform af ordningen for EU's egne indtægter.
Replying to the debate, Dr Javier SOLANA emphasised that foreign policy had in fact changed since the Cologne Summit, in the sense that there was now a basis for committing resources and taking political action, as could be seen for example in the common strategy towards Russia. He
Budgetudvalget gennemføres i den nuværende valgperiode, ikke udskydes til efter 2006, sluttede kommissæren.
saw the priority as being able to anticipate events of forthcoming crises such as Bosnia before the event and taking appropriate action.
Udvalget understreger, at den interinstitutionelle aftale giver Kommissionen mulighed for at foreslå en revision af de finansielle overslag som følge af nye, uforudsete situationer, f.eks. hvis der er udsigt til en overskridelse af udgiftsloftet for landbrugsområdet.
He emphasised that this was not just a question of military intervention, as indeed could be seen in Bosnia where there was a failure to provide adequate follow-up services in the form of civil and police facilities.
Endelig foreslår udvalget at overføre uudnyttede bevillinger til det følgende regnskabsår i stedet for tilbagebetaling heraf til medlemsstaterne.
It was also necessary to look closely at the role of the Organisation for Security Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in the context of guaranteeing pan-European security.
Debatten
WTO - MEPs call for wide agenda (A5-0062/99 - Schwaiger)
(16/11) Kommissionen har fremsat forslag til forordning med det formål at foretage visse ændringer og forenklinger af bestemmelserne om budgetdisciplin, som de for øjeblikket er fastsat i Rådets beslutning 94/729/EF af 31. oktober 1994.
Wednesday 17 November - Konrad SCHWAIGER (EPP/ED, D) came before the House to outline the views of the Industry Committee towards the forthcoming WTO millennium round of negotiations, due to start in Seattle on 30 November.
Budgetdisciplin er ikke et mål sig selv, men et instrument til at sikre en hensigtsmæssig og effektiv gennemførelse af EU's beslutninger og foranstaltninger, sagde ordføreren Ioannis AVEROFF (PPE/DE, GR).
Expressing satisfaction that many of the points raised in previous debates in Parliament had been taken up in the Commission's outline paper on a negotiated position for the EU, Mr Schwaiger said the general aim was to work for "freer and fairer world trade", and as the world's largest trading block, the EU had a key role to play here.
Kommissionen har foreslået at styrke og udvide retningslinjerne for landbrugsområdet, sagde han.
The challenge was to pursue the twin aims of further liberalising trade and at the same time take account of "Europe's social model".
De foreslåede foranstaltninger til stramning af budgetdisciplinen har præventiv karakter, og udvalget kan støtte forslaget med nogle mindre tilføjelser og ændringer, sagde han.
He felt that both aims could be pursued and that while the accent should be on negotiating to reduce customs duties and barriers to trade, he felt it was also necessary to take into account the concerns of poorer developing countries.
Det er blevet nødvendigt at foretage ændringerne på grund af beslutningerne fra Berlin-topmødet i marts 1999 og på grund af bestemmelserne i den nye interinstitutionelle aftale fra maj 1999.
Transparency in ensuring full reporting of the negotiations was also important, as was taking account of international labour standards.
Foruden de nødvendige tilpasninger omfatter forslaget en udvidelse af anvendelsesområdet, og der indføres bestemmelser, som viser en ny opfattelse af budgetdisciplin og medfører en udvidelse af Kommissionens forvaltningsbeføjelser.
He did however, emphasise the need for close dialogue with the USA and other key players.
Kommissionen foreslår, at de pågældende bestemmelser skal vedtages i form af en forordning i stedet for en beslutning, idet en forordning har en mere generel rækkevidde og er bindende for alle borgere i EU, ikke kun for medlemsstaterne.
Other points he supported taking up, included environmental protection and e-commerce with the overall intention of securing benefits for the whole world and more social justice.
Der er desuden tale om at fjerne automatikken i visse foranstaltninger og at sikre fuld overholdelse af den interinstitutionelle aftale, sluttede Ioannis AVEROFF (PPE/DE, GR).
It was important to ensure a parliamentary dimension to enable all these issues to be discussed openly in detail, he added, and for the situation of those likely to lose out to be looked at and defended.
På baggrund af kommissionsforslaget har Parlamentets Budgetudvalg med Ioannis AVEROFF (PPE/DE, GR) som ordfører udarbejdet en betænkning, hvori det foreslås at vedtage forslaget som en beslutning for at bevare den institutionelle balance.
For the Social Affairs Committee, Harald ETTL (PES, A) too was concerned to see a social balance and that there was not an adverse effect on poorer countries.
Udvalget foreslår enkelte tilpasninger af teksten for at bringe den i overensstemmelse med den interinstitutionelle aftale.
While looking at the environmental dimensions, Dagmar ROTH-BEHRENDT (PES, D) emphasised the need for definition of the "precautionary" principle.
Kommissær Michaele SCHREYER mindede Parlamentet om, at der er truffet en beslutning om at fastfryse loftet for udgifter på landbrugsområdet, og at der ikke må ske en udligning mellem området for markedsordninger og området for udvikling af landbrugsområder.
Consumers should also be helped through better labelling of production processes so that choices could be made on accurate information. Her other concern was to see independent evaluation of conflicts in the WTO.
Kommissionen finder det derfor af afgørende betydning at kunne gribe ind, dersom der er risiko for at overskride lofterne på bl.a. disse to områder, sagde hun.
Looking at the question of European agriculture, Helmut KUHNE (PES, D) emphasised the need to safeguard the interests of small farms, take up health and environmental questions and ensure compliance with rules such as, for example, the labelling of products like sherry.
Kommissæren noterede sig, at Parlamentet stort set kan tilslutte sig de procedurer, som Kommissionen har foreslået. Det skal understreges, at Kommissionen alene vil ændre de finansielle
He also pointed out that the US had been increasing subsidies to the tune of $15bn to its own farmers and that this should be taken into context when European agriculture came under attack for its subsidies.
Udvalget understreger, at beslutninger om besparelser på landbrugsområdet skal træffes under hensyntagen til de enkelte institutioners kompetence på budgetområdet. For at øge gennemsigtigheden foreslås det, at Kommissionen
Mo O'TOOLE (PES, North East) underlined the importance of ensuring that the interests of the audiovisual industry were taken up in the WTO negotiations and not added on as an after thought, while John CORRIE (EPP/ED, West Midlands), after declaring an interest as a farmer, then took up the concerns of the Development Committee and poorer countries.
Nyt fra Parlamentet - Nov.-ll 1999
He was particularly worried about the recent US

agreement for China to take part in WTO negotiations which he saw as a threat to, for example, smaller African states such as Lesotho who did not seem to be gaining at all from the WTO.
Revisionsretten mulighed for at kontrollere EIB. Desuden går udvalget ind for at reducere risikoen for Fællesskabets budget ved at lade EIB tilstræbe en højere grad af risikodeling med de kommercielle investorer, navnlig gennem anvendelse af differentierede målsatser for forskellige regioner.
Other points to be taken up in the negotiations, he felt, were environmental standards and in particular, eco labelling and intellectual property.
(17/11) Parlamentet godkendte forslaget med de fleste af udvalgets ændringsforslag.
The developing countries' interests must be taken into account, he added, concluding with the words "US domination of the WTO must end".
(19/11) Parlamentet godkendte forslaget med udvalgets ændringsforslag.
He told MEPs that the negotiations would be difficult with, for example, the USA and the Cairns group seeking greater agricultural access to markets.
Fællesskabsgaranti mod tab i forbindelse med lån til Tyrkiet
Agreements have not yet however been reached on whether to push for labour standards and other social issues to be covered by the negotiations.
(16/11) Kommissionen har fremsat forslag til tillægs- og ændringsbudget 5/1999, hvori det foreslås at forøge betalingsbevillingerne til området Eksterne Foranstaltninger med 650 mio. euro, navnlig til støtte for Phare, Tacis, Obnova og Den Tidligere Jugoslaviske Republik Makedonien og til styrkelse af EU's Kontor for Bekæmpelse af Svindel, OLAF.
The views of the political groups were expressed by Thomas MANN (EPP/ED, D) who supported the need to take up basic social issues and ensure an end to forced labour, while Erika MANN (PES, D) warned that globalisation would not go away if it was excluded from the WTO which she saw as a means of bringing it under control.
(19/11) Kommissionen har foreslået en særlig EIB-lånefacilitet på i alt 600 mio. euro fordelt over tre år til genopbygningshjælp til Tyrkiet efter jordskælvet i august. Der kræves her en garanti fra garantifonden for aktioner i forhold til tredjelande.
In expressing Liberal support for trade liberalisation and a strengthening of the multilateral system, Nick CLEGG (ELDR, East Midlands) felt there was a need to give political backing to a comprehensive round of negotiations.
Parlamentets Budgetudvalg har med Barbara DÜHRKOP DÜHRKOP (PSE, E) som ordfører udarbejdet en betænkning, hvori det anbefales at godkende forslaget.
He was another speaker to emphasise the need to allay the fears of those worried about globalisation and felt the European Parliament had a role to play here.
Udvalget støtter navnlig forslaget om at styrke OLAF.
"Without the WTO, the law of the jungle would apply.
Budgetudvalget støtter forslaget, men er bekymret over, at garantien for lånet til Tyrkiet vil reducere den margin, der er tilbage i reserven til finansiering af EU's garanti for lån til tredjelande.
In addition to taking up environmental questions on the interests of the poorer countries, he also emphasised the need for CAP reform and the Commission to be accountable to Parliament before any deal was signed.
Udvalget ønsker derfor, at Kommissionen skal bekræfte, at den i givet fald kan foreslå en forhøjelse af det årlige loft for denne reserve.
He too recognised the importance of China becoming involved in the negotiations and that it was a delicate issue to be faced.
Tab i forbindelse med lån til projekter uden for Fællesskabet
For the Greens/EFA, Caroline LUCAS (South East) took the view that trade should not be seen as an end in itself and that the success or otherwise of the WTO negotiations should be seen in the contribution they make towards promoting sustainable development.
(19/11) Parlamentet godkendte forslaget med udvalgets ændringsforslag.
And, she emphasised, there would be losers as well as winners and it was vital to ensure that the poor were not left behind, she said, calling for a comprehensive impact assessment to take into account the social effect.
(19/11) Rådet har anmodet om en udtalelse om forslag til Rådets afgørelse om en fællesskabsgaranti til Den Europæiske Investeringsbank (EIB) mod tab i forbindelse med lån til projekter uden for Fællesskabet.
Animal welfare was another issue to be taken into account and the rules should be changed, she said, emphasising that free trade was not necessarily fair trade.
Budgetudvalget har foreslået en række ændringer, der sigter på at skabe større gennemskuelighed i EIB's virksomhed, bl.a. ved at give OLAF og
Luisa MORGANTINI (EUL/NGL, I) emphasised the need to put health and poverty before profits, defend workers' rights and ensure that developing countries such as India could benefit from copyright rules, while Elizabeth MONTFORT (UEN, F) wanted to make sure that issues such as hormone treated meat and GMOs were taken up in the negotiations.
Gensidig anerkendelse af faglige kvalifikationer
The EU must be a key player in world trade, he stressed.
Kommissionen ser med velvilje på Parlamentets deltagelse i WTO-ministermøder og symposier på højt niveau.
And with some £370bn of "global gains" at stake, it was important to ensure that the negotiations turned into a "win-win" situation of benefit to all.
Miljøets inddragelse i Fællesskabets energipolitik
The EU was in a unique position to push for this and ensure transparency and accountability.
På baggrund af kommissionsforslaget har Parlamentets Udvalg om Industripolitik, Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser, Forskning og Energi med Konrad SCHWAIGER (PPE/ED, D) udarbejdet en betænkning.
Glenys KINNOCK (PES, Wales) pointed out that some two-thirds of the 134 participants in the WTO represented developing countries and yet the wider negotiations were tailored, it seemed, to the largest countries that would benefit most.
Udvalget foreslår følgende væsentlige prioriteringer i Rådets og Kommissionens forhandlingsmandat:
Although she recognised that negotiations would be complex, one point that needed to be guaranteed was the developing countries' access to food security, she said.
Udvalget om Industripolitik, Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser, Forskning og Energi.
The interest of small landlocked countries also had to be taken into account.
På landbrugsområdet skal forsigtighedsprincippet integreres i aftalen om sanitære og fytosanitære forholdsregler (SPSaftalen) for at bevare en høj standard af fødevaresikkerhed og forbrugerbeskyttelse i EU.
Simon MURPHY (PES, West Midlands) was anxious to see issues such as animal welfare investment and competition policy taken up in the negotiations and felt wide consultation was also important to close loopholes in the dispute settlement procedures.
(16/11) Forslaget blev vedtaget med enkelte ændringer.
Joe McCARTIN (EPP/ED, Connacht/Ulster) recognised that globalisation was unstoppable and stressed that any world trade arrangements should be on the basis of partnership.
Udvalget om Industripolitik, Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser, Forskning og Energi
He stressed the need for liberalisation and a broad round of negotiations.
På områderne investeringer og konkurrence skal der indgås en multilateral investeringsaftale for at sikre udenlandske investorers rettigheder, bl.a. gennem en effektiv voldgiftsmekanisme.
Turning to concerns about the position of developing countries, Mr Lamy noted that those benefiting least from world trade liberalisation were those states which were least integrated in world trading organisations.
En betydelig reduktion af toldsatserne for industriprodukter samt toldlettelser for de mindst udviklede lande.
Such countries must be given technical and financial assistance.
På området handel og miljø skal der lægges mere vægt på kravet om en bæredygtig udvikling, bl.a. gennem afmærkning af varer, som er fremstillet under miljøvenlige betingelser.
However, if this deficit was due to domestic politics, then differentiated treatment would not be appropriate and the EU should only be helping sustainable development.
Der skal ydes omfattende teknisk hjælp til udviklingslandene med henblik på etablering af et effektivt system til håndhævelse af den intellektuelle ejendomsret.
The WTO rules must permit developing countries to develop their own policies and the EU should encourage direct investment and technological cooperation agreements.
(17/11) Med ministerkonferencen i Seattle 30. november - 3. december indledes den kommende flerårige forhandlingsrunde i Verdenshandelsorganisationen (WTO).
Mr Lamy also stressed the need to ensure that environmental measures were compatible with WTO rules.
Der skal etableres et fælles arbejdsprogram mellem WTO og Den Internationale Arbejdsorganisation (ILO) med henblik på gennemførelse af deklarationen om grundlæggende rettigheder for arbejdere fra ILO-konferencen i 1998.
He agreed that social standards were affected by globalisation and that international labour standards were not being sufficiently accepted in the WTO.
Nyt fra Parlamentet - Nov.-ll 1999
Finally, on China, Mr Lamy recognised
Industri, Eksterne Økonomiske Forbindelser, Forskning og Energi
Nevertheless, he did accept that "the devil was in the detail".
Endelig ønsker udvalget, at Parlamentet inddrages i godkendelsen af forhandlingsresultatet gennem proceduren om samstemmende udtalelse.
In approving Mr Schwaiger's resolution by 359 votes to 62 with 57 abstentions, MEPs asked the Commission not to agree to a limited negotiating agenda.
Debatten
Crisis in Chechnya (B5-0259-0263/99)
WTO-forhandlingerrne giver os en mulighed for at dreje globaliseringen i en positiv retning, sagde Erika MANN (PSE, D).
Wednesday 17 November - Opening the debate, Commissioner Chris PATTEN stated that there was a consensus within the EU on two issues.
Hun støttede en omfattende forhandlingsrunde, så alle de aspekter, der berører europæere, bliver behandlet.
Firstly, that although the outrage in Russia at the acts of terrorism in the Caucasus and Moscow was understandable, the disproportionate use of militan· force was unacceptable, particularly as the Russian authorities were not seeking a political solution to the crisis.
Den kommende ordning af verdenshandelen skal føre til en mere retfærdig og afbalanceret situation , hvor der også er taget højde for sociale forhold og udviklingslandene, sagde hun.
Secondly, he believed that it would be an historic error to begin the next century by locking Russia out of Europe as had happened after 1917. The EU, he said, was genuinely seeking dialogue with Russia through such mechanisms as the Common Strategy.
EU har en dobbelt strategi for WTO-forhandlingerne, sagde Konrad SCHWAIGER (PPE/DE, D).
Nevertheless, the Chechen crisis was putting EU-Russian relations under a considerable strain.
Uden WTO kan der ikke skabes en fornuftig ordning af verdenshandelen, og så bliver det jungleloven og den stærkestes lov, der gælder, sagde Nicholas CLEGG (ELDR, UK).
Discussing possible options, Mr Patten did not agree that TACIS financial assistance should be cut off as this would have no direct influence on Russia's public finances but would undermine the démocratisation of civil society.
Han gik ind for en bred forhandlingsrunde med henblik på en omfattende liberalisering, men efterlyste større åbenhed fra Rådets og Kommissionens side.
He also did not consider that ending food aid would serve any purpose as the existing scheme was nearly at its end - although he had doubts about the rationale for any future food aid scheme.
Endelig opfordrede han til at søge indgået en handelsaftale mellem EU og Kina i lyset af den nyligt indgåede aftale mellem Kina og USA.
The Commissioner also considered that withdrawing IMF assistance and EBRD borrowing - although this was not an EU competence - would provoke a backlash in the run-up to the Duma elections next month.
Således vil man søge at fjerne de fleste told- og afgiftssatser samt protektionistiske tiltag for derigennem at åbne markedet for produkter fra bl.a.
He believed that domestic public opinion was having a crucial influence on the Russian authorities who were pursuing a "short-sighted" solution to the problem.
AVS-landene, sagde han. En fri verdenshandel er forudsætningen for, at udviklingslandene kan øge deres velstand, sagde han.
Although he was not optimistic about success, he believed that the channels of communication must be kept open with Moscow and he was in close touch with the Kremlin.
Han understregede, at EU har brug for interne alliancer under forhandlingerne, herunder med AVS-landene, men frem for alt en vedvarende dialog med USA og den amerikanske Kongres.
Mr Patten then referred to the 200,000 Chechen refugees and the up to half-a-million who were in need of humanitarian assistance. The population of the
Handel er et middel til at nå målet om en bæredygtig udvikling, sagde Caroline LUCAS (Verts/ALE, UK).
neighbouring republic of Ingushetia, which was hosting many refugees, also needed help.
Der er vindere og tabere i dette spil, og taberne ser ofte deres liv ødelagt af unfair konkurrence eller billig import, sagde hun.
However, he stressed that the present crisis was putting a severe strain on this relationship, and Russia could not dismiss the EU's concerns out of hand.
WTO er grundlæggende afhængig af USA's og EU's støtte, og der er behov for at inddrage tredjepartslande, herunder udviklingslandene, sagde han.
It was then the turn of Kimmo SASI for the Council, who reiterated many of Mr Patten's points. Mr Sasi noted that Russia now controlled over half the territory of Chechnya and was still advancing.
EU må standse dumpning af subsidierede landbrugsprodukter på udviklingslandenes markeder, samtidigt med at der skal gives toldfri adgang til EU for samtlige varer fra de fattigste lande, sagde hun.
Russian Prime Minister Putin saw this as a success. However, the EU viewed it as a disproportionate use of force against civilians.
EU's grundholdning er et krav om fri adgang til verdensmarkedet for varer, tjenesteydelser og kapital, fastslog han.
He stressed the need to provide humanitarian assistance to the region and that Moscow should ensure the unhindered delivery of this aid.
Der skal i forhandlingerne tages hensyn til ILO-aftalerne, bl.a. vedrørende arbejdsbetingelser og socialklausuler, sagde han.
The EU, he stressed, had reiterated its position on the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation but hoped that Moscow would now keep its promises to seek to achieve a political solution.
Frihandel er ikke fair handel, og det demonstreres af caraibiske banandyrkere, hvis produkter ikke kan få adgang til EU på grund af nogle WTO-regler, der må ændres, sluttede Caroline LUCAS (Verts/ALE, UK).
Pierre SCHORI (PES, S), while wanting the EU-Russia partnership to be strengthened, believed that the Strategic Partnership agreement enabled the EU to condemn what was now currently taking place in Chechnya.
