FREQUENTLY described as a unique model of development co-operation, the Lomé Convention provides for some 12bn ECU in aid and financial assistance for the 69 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries for the 1990-95 period.

Han var ordfører for en betænkning om udnyttelse af re sultaterne af forskning og teknologisk innovation.
Mr Marin left MEPs and ACP delegates in no doubt as to the gravity of the situation when he pointedly told them that after 20 years of development policy and aid programmes there was precious little to show for it.
De teknologiske fremskridt skal ud i de små og mellemstore virksomheder.
Considering the amount of money spent, the results were, he said, frankly disappointing.
Ofte findes teknologien, men virksomhederne ved det ikke, sagde ordføreren.

The Commissioner did admit, however, that some problems had occurred following the effective devaluation of the pound against the ECU on 'Black Wednesday' last year.
I betænkningen foreslår udvalget til ramme programmet 1994-1998 en samlet budgetramme på 13,1 mia. ecu (ca. 100 mia. kr.).
This meant that the value in pound terms of EC matching Social Fund aid worth
I betænkningen foreslås adskillige ændringer og tilføjelser til Kommissionens udkast til det fjerde rammeprogram.
The Commission's new approach is to place more emphasis on human rights,the role of law and order, respect for democracy and proper management when allocating aid.
Parlamentet ønsker bl.a., at der skal tages større hensyn til det sociale sammenhold og miljøet, ligesom der skal sigtes på at skabe levedygtige systemer inden for telekommunikations-, energi- og transportsektoren.
In a bid to improve efficiency and ensure better value for money, the Commission wants to scrap financial assistance for the five-year national programme in each ACP state and replace it with funding for specific projects only after the original allocation has been spent.
Forskningen skal endvidere have til formål at frem me beskæftigelsen og væksten i Fællesskabet. - Et andet område, som udvalget ønsker at lægge vægt på, er forskning i livsvilkår, sagde Linkohr.

Ligestilling i EU ganisationer ikke anvender aldersgrænser eller har hævet den til det fyldte 50 eller 55 år.
In other countries such as Tanzania agricultural workers are affected, and not only is it leading to a loss in production but also reduced incomes for families forced to spend scarce resources on health.
Både Retsudvalget og Udvalget om Kvinders Rettigheder har end videre taget fat på aldersgrænser ne i forbindelse med adgang til de udvælgelsesprøver, man skal bestå for at blive ansat i institutionerne.
But as Wayne David (South Wales, Soc) pointed out regional fund grants are still going begging as a result of a reluctance on the part of the UK treasury to provide matching government finance as required under EC rules.
På trods af denne i Europa enestående meget høje procentsats er det lykkedes Luxembourg at undgå tilløb til racisme.
One of the problems at present is that grandiose plans are drawn up but never implemented.

The Commission has, however, agreed to respond to one of the complaints from the ACP states that unnecessary bureaucracy is leading to delays in approving projects, which in one case was as long as four years.
Det første er at leve op til sit navn, hvilket indlysende kræver fælles initiativer hurtigt for at standse den nuværende driven mod kun at være et meget simpelt og meget middelmådigt frihandelsområde.
Indeed, in the opening address to the meeting, Belgium's Prime Minister lean-Luc Dehaene pointedly drew attention to the recession and worsening economic crisis in Western Europe.
Det andet mål er at genvinde tilliden hos Unionens borgere ved at give konkrete svar på dagligdagens problemer samt ved hurtigst muligt at gøre Den Europæiske Union mere demokratisk.«
The implication is clear ly that there will be a reduction in aid budgets, with Mr Dehaene emphasising the need for the money

Yet as Mr Marin pointed out,
Alle institutioner anvender aldersgrænser, der er forskellige alt efter persongruppe og stilling.
In view of the substantial drop in ACP exports to the Community and the possibility of a Gatt deal having an adverse effect on the ACP countries, she called for specific measures to boost trade.
- Det er 20 år siden, at EU tog initiativ til de udmærkede ligestillingslove, som har dannet ud gangspunkt for meget ligestillingsarbejde i medlemslandene.
The Convention is supposed to be based on 'partnership' yet it is very much Commission officials who draw up the plans, which are not necessarily to the liking of the country concerned.
Alligevel har EU-institutioner stadig store problemer med ligestillingen i egne rækker.
Proposed changes will allow the ACP states a final veto at the end of the consultation process.
Det konstaterede den danske socialdemokrat Joanna Rønn i sin ordførertale under Parlamentets debat om to betænkninger om ligestilling i Den Europæiske Unions institutioner.

Kommissionen er kommet med et forslag til ændringer af ved tægten, og hertil vedtog Parlamentet 10 ændringsforslag, som Udvalget om Retlige Anliggender og Borgernes Rettigheder havde fremsat.
Political priorities of the time in the Cold War era also led to some Western donors backing dictators who did not have the interest of the people at heart.
»Det er vigtigt, at vi bliver enige om, hvad målene skal være, og i den forbindelse får ansøgerlandene inddraget - på én eller anden måde - fleksibelt, kreativt og pragmatisk - så de ikke får en følelse af at få noget serveret med mottoet: »Æd fugl eller dø; skriv under eller du bliver uden for!« Vi ønsker - og jeg er glad for, at De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe ligeledes ser sådan på det - at de fire ansøgerlande indtræder inden for en rimelig tidsramme og på rimelige betingelser.«
In fact, the scale of the pro blem was pointedly summarised by the Kenyan delegate, Henry Kosgey: "ACP countries continue to pay more in interest to developed countries than they receive in aid."
»Tidens løsning på ineffektivitet og lav produktivitet er en fleksibel arbejdsstyrke. Det pointeres af Kommissionen gang på gang, så længe det drejer sig om andre end EU selv.

Ingen private firmaer ville overleve ret længe med et system som EU's såkaldte objektive A, B, C og D-ansæt-telsesgrupper med vandtætte skodder imellem.
It notes that much of the information about these key areas is 'inaccessible and shrouded in secrecy and has not been open to discussion in parliaments'.
Ansættelsessystemet med reservepuljer og aldersgrænser er lige så galt.
The handbook is intended to try and remedy the situation.
I det beslutningsforslag, Parlamentet vedtog, foreslås det, at aldersgrænsen gennem en række undtagelser hæves til 45 år. Bl.a. skal opdragelse af et barn kunne godskrives med 5 år mod de nu værende 2 år.
But any action to write off the debt will have to be taken by the donor countries in conjunction with the World Bank, which is insisting on strict new conditions and structural adjustment before approving further loans.

CONCISE, accessible information in an entertaining style; modestly priced and attractively presented; up-to-date and wellbalanced — what more could an enquiring mind expect from a book written by a barrister for the general reader?

Many people wonder why it was allowed to rise to such disproportionate levels but one of the causes was the sharp fall in commodity prices which halved the annual value of ACP export earnings from $62bn in 1980 to just $30bn in 1990.

Pressure for democracy
Kommissionen har ikke opfyldt sin pligt til at få gennemført Fællesaktens bestemmelser om personers frie bevægelighed. I artikel 8A i traktaten står, at personers frie bevægelighed skulle være på plads inden den 1. januar 1993.
THE Lomé Convention includes a "human rights and democracy" clause and on numerous occasions EC economic assistance has been suspended to member countries where blatant human rights violations have occurred.
Kommissionen har været for passiv, me ner Parlamentet og indledte derfor den 18. november en sag ved Domstolen i Luxembourg.
Indeed, following the recent outbreak of civil war in Sudan, Lomé funding was frozen and within the past couple of weeks EC aid to Burundi has been suspended following a coup.
11989 vedtog man et direktiv om sikkerhedsbestemmelser for blod produkter, men desværre har langt fra alle medlemsstater fået gennemført direktivet i de nationale lovgivninger.
This infuriated European politicians brought up on free speech and the dispute was only resolved when both delegates withdrew and it was agreed to send a fact-finding mission to the country.
Det skal der nu rettes op på, hedder det i beslutningen.
Similar problems will no doubt occur again in the future.
I begyndelsen var det uvidenhed.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the composition of the Joint Assembly itself.
Så blev det til bevidste fejl, og det, der nu er foregået, kan kun betegnes som forbrydelser.
The intention has always been for the ACP states to be represented by genuinely elected parliamentarians, but in the past it has been ambassadors and diplomats.

Det samme gælder for alle produkter, som ikke har opnået godkendelse via den kontrol, der kræves i EU-direktivet fra 1989, var parlamentsmedlemmerne enige om. En af målsætningerne, som kan sikre kvaliteten af blod, er selvforsyning.
The blueprint, known as the Trans-European road network, which is based on national road building plans, would provide some 7,500 miles of new motorways and dual carriageway roads.
Det gælder om at blive selv forsynende med blod i Europa og kun at bruge ubetalte frivillige blod donorer, så AIDS-syge folk ikke kan tjene penge på at sælge deres blod.
A particular objective is to link the peripheral regions into the single market, while another is to ease congestion around towns and cities.
På den måde sikres kvaliteten, og vi slipper for importeret blod af svingende kvalitet, mener Parlamentet, som opfordrer folk til at melde sig som donorer. Kommissær Padraig Flynn fra

Filmgiganten UPI, som er dannet af selskaberne Paramount, MGM og MCA, fungerer kun takket være en dispensation fra EU's konkurrenceregler.
The last piece of EC legislation adopted in 1991 led to an 80% reduction in pollution levels when compared to the situation in 1970, but the Commission now believes new technology will enable these levels to be reduced by a further 20% in the case of carbon monoxide emissions and 50% for nitrogen oxide as from 1996.
Den vil Parlamentet nu have fjernet, så de europæiske selskaber kan konkurrere på lige fod med UPI.
It also takes the view that carbon monoxide pollution from diesel cars can be cut by 60%.

Debatten om for slaget koncentreredes om de undtagelser, som bestemmelserne kan omfatte, når der er specifikke problemer i et medlemsland.
It has been reported that UK Customs and Excise is also planning a clamp down on VAT fraud by stationing of ficers in other EC countries.
Kommissionen peger her på, at sådan ne problemer bl.a. kan opstå i en medlemsstat, hvor andelen af bosiddende unionsborgere uden statsborgerskab i landet overstiger 20%.
With over 4 million people living in the former Yugoslavia now in desperate need of food and medical assistance as winter approaches, MEPs would like the conflict to be placed high on the Community's agenda once more and a massive aid programme mobilised.

Parlamentets Udvalg om Institutionelle Spørgsmål har udarbejdet en betænkning om forslaget. Ordføreren var den franske krist-demokrat Francois Froment-Meurice.
Council's decision seems to be part of a tactical move on the part of some governments to link the signing of the agreement with the adoption of a regulation on decision making procedures on commercial policies.
Udvalget havde anbefalet Parlamentet at forkaste muligheden for undtagelsesbestemmelser ved rørende stemmeret og kandidatlisternes sammensætning.
Parliament wants specific measures designed to help Bulgarians, already suffering hardship as a result of implementing the UN embargo on Serbia.
Selvfølgelig må man ikke nedvurdere de argumenter, et lille land kommer med. På den anden side må man heller ikke nedvurdere rettigheder ne for de unionsborgere, som bor i Luxembourg, men har en anden nationalitet, advarede Froment-Meurice.
Yet, the consolidation of democracy was, she warned still fragile, pointing to the recent rise in support for the former communists, now the Bulgarian Socialist Party.
