På samlingen den 20. marts 1989 vedtog Rådet på grundlag af en henstilling, som Kommissionen havde fremsendt den 21. december 1988, direktiver med henblik på forhandling af en aftale i form af brevveksling med Fyrstendømmet Andorra.
At its meeting on 20 March 1989 the Council, on the basis of a recommendation for warded by the Commission on 21 December 1988, adopted directives for the negotiation with the Principality of Andorra of an Agreement in the form of an exchange ofletters.
I denne aftale fastsættes det, at der skal oprettes en toldunion for industrivarer med fyrstendømmet; den har til formål at fjerne de forskelle, der hidtil har været mellem de nationale ordninger for Andorra, og erstatte dem med en ensartet fællesskabsordning, idet der skal tages hensyn til Andorras særlige situation, og dets økonomiske og handelsmæssige interesser skal varetages.
That Agreement provides for the creation of a customs union with the Principality in the industrial sphere; it is intended to eliminate the discrepancies which still exist between the national arrangements applicable to Andorra and to replace them by uniform Community arrangements, while taking account of the specific situation of Andorra and making it possible to safeguard Andorra's economic and commercial interests.
Kommissionen meddelte på samlingen den 19. december 1989 Rådet, at forhandlingerne med Fyrstendømmet Andorra var afsluttet.
At its meeting on 19 December 1989 the Council was informed by the Commission of the completion of negotiations with the Principality of Andorra.
Efter den officielle fremsendelse af Kommissionens rapport og udkastet til aftale skal Rådet godkende sidstnævnte og tage stilling til retsgrundlaget for Fællesskabets indgåelse af aftalen.
Once the Com mission report and the draft Agreement have been officially forwarded, the Council will be required to approve the latter and decide on the legal basis to be adopted with a view to conclusion of the Agreement by the Community.
Efter at den nye amerikanske regering var blevet indsat i begyndelsen af året, kunne man registrere en generel forbedring i forholdet til USA.
Since the new United States Administration came into office at the beginning of the year there has been an improvement in the general climate of relations with that country.
Det Europæiske Råd noterede sig med tilfredshed denne forbedring i slutningen af juni i Madrid.
This improvement was noted with satisfaction by the European Council meeting in Madrid at the end of June.
De betænkeligheder, der tidligere var blevet givet udtryk for i USA i forbindelse med gennemførelsen af enhedsmarkedet, veg pladsen for en bedre forståelse for de positive virkninger, som et europæisk enhedsmarked ville få for hele den internationale samhandel.
The concerns expressed in the past in the United States about the completion of the single market have given way to a better understanding of the positive implications which a single European market will have for international trade as a whole. The US

De ændringer, der fandt sted i Østeuropa, forstærkede den nye opfattelse af de gensidige forbindelser.
Following the changes in Eastern Europe the new perception of mutual relations has been consolidated.
Rådet bekræftede den betydning, Fællesskabet tillægger en styrkelse af samarbejdsforbindelserne med USA, og glædede sig over præsident Bush's fornyede støtte til den europæiske integrationsproces samt over anerkendelsen
In confirming the importance which the Community attaches to strengthening cooperation relations with the United States, the Council has welcomed the renewed support which President Bush has given to the process of European integration and the recognition accorded to the role of the Community as a factor for stability in the developments currently taking place in Europe.
Fællesskabet nærer dog stadig betænkeligheder med hensyn til anvendelsen af ensidige foranstaltninger som fastsat i Trade Act til løsning af handelsproblemer og med hensyn til de automatiske ordninger, som de amerikanske myndigheder er bundet til.
But the Community is still concerned at the possibility of recourse to unilateral measures which the Trade Act allows for resolving trade problems, and at the automatic machinery to which the US Administration is bound.
Rådet fandt, at sådanne foranstaltninger er en overtrædelse af GATT-reglerne og ud gør en fare for det multilaterale handelssystem, og det påpegede i flere omgange den ne selvmodsigelse i den amerikanske politik, idet USA dels udtrykker sin støtte til Uruguay-Runden og det multilaterale handelssystem, dels fører en politik, der bygger på ensidige foranstaltninger.
The Council believes that such measures are a violation of the GATT rules and are jeopardizing the multilateral trade system; it has on several occasions denounced this contradiction in US policy, whereby the United States expresses support for the Uruguay Round and the multilateral trade system while conducting a policy based on unilateral measures.
Rådet fandt, at det nye samarbejsklima i de gensidige forbindelser også burde have en gunstig indvirkning på de bilaterale handelsforbindelser. delser.
The Council believes that the new climate of cooperation in mutual relations should also have a favourable impact on bilateral trade relations.
På baggrund af den automatiske ikrafttræden af amerikanske ensidige gengældelsesforanstaltninger ved årets begyndelse') opfordrede Rådet Kommissionen til i GATT at tage skridt til at få fordømt disse foranstaltninger, der er ulovlige ifølge den almindelige overenskomst.
When the United States' unilateral retaliation measures came into effect at the beginning of the year,3 the Council asked the Commission to initiate proceedings in
Det opfordrede den også til at fortsætte sine bestræbelser på bilateralt plan med de amerikanske myndigheder for at finde en mindelig løsning på tvisten, navnlig efter at amerikanske kvægavlere anmodede om at få lov til at eksportere oksekød, der opfylder EF-bestemmelserne, til Fællesskabet.
It also invited the Commission to continue its efforts on a bilateral basis with the US authorities to seek an amicable settlement of the dispute, particularly follow ing requests from US producers and breeders for permission to export to the Com munity beef and veal which met the criteria laid down in Community legislation.
Med henblik på disse anmodninger blev der nedsat en fælles Task Force for at finde pragmatiske ordninger under overholdelse af de to parters forskrifter.
In the light of these requests, a joint task force was set up to find pragmatic arrangements complying with the legislation of both sides.
Dette arbejde førte til, at der i USA blev indført en EF-ordning til godkendelse af kød uden hormoner beregnet til eksport til Fællesskabet.
The discussions held in this context led to the introduction in the United States of a Community system for certifying meat without hormones intended for export to the Community. The United
I den sammenhæng oplyste USA, at landet ville ophæve sine foranstaltninger, efterhånden som eksporten af amerikansk kød til Fællesskabet blev genoptaget.
These measures involve the imposition of a 100% charge on a number of agricultural products from the Community, including preserved tomatoes, in respect of trade worth a total of about USD 100 million.
Der skete således en lempelse af de restriktive foranstaltninger fra amerikansk side, men på grund af den ringe handel med denne vare gentog Rådet i december sin anmodning til de amerikanske myndigheder om endeligt at bringe denne situation til ophør.
States said it would reduce its measures as and when US meat exports to the Com munity picked up again. There was some relaxation of the restrictive measures on the US side, but given the small scale of the trade concerned the Council in December repeated its request that the US authorities should finally bring this situation to an end.
Der blev vedtaget en procedureaftale mellem Fællesskabet og USA for igen at få gang i arbejdet i GATT på grundlag af indgivne klager, dels fra USA over Fælles-
A procedural agreement was reached between the Community and the United States to re-open the GATT talks on the basis of the complaints filed by the United States concerning the premiums and subsidies granted by the Community to the pro cessors of oilseeds intended for animal feed (soya, sunflower, etc.) and the complaints filed by the Community concerning the US restrictions on the import of sugar and sweetened products (waiver).
Efter at have konstateret, at fællesskabsstøtten udelukkende blev ydet til forarbejdning af oliefrø med oprindelse i Fællesskabet, nåede det såkaldte soja-panel under GATT i december til den konklusion, at støtten skabte forskelsbehandling af importen fra tredjelande og derfor var i modstrid med GATT. Panelet fandt ikke desto mindre, at Fællesskabet burde have en rimelig frist til at bringe sine bestemmelser i over ensstemmelse med den almindelige overenskomst og henstillede, at de kontraherende parter i mellemtiden afstod fra at træffe ensidige gengældelsesforanstaltninger.
Having found that Community aid was granted for processing oilseeds of exclusively Community origin, the GATT 'soya panel' concluded in December that such aid in troduced an element of discrimination against imports from third countries and was therefore contrary to the GATT But the panel took the view that the Community had to have a reasonable period of time to bring its legislation into line with the General Agreement and recommended that in the mean time the contracting parties concerned should refrain from taking any unilateral retaliation measures.
Rådet gav udtryk for, at det var indstillet på at acceptere disse konklusioner og på at tilpasse EF-bestemmelserne som led i iværksættelsen af resultaterne af Uruguay-Runden, idet landbrugsstøtten var et væsentligt punkt i disse forhandlinger.
The Council expressed its willingness to accept these conclusions and to adjust the Community's regulations as part of the implementation of the results of the Uruguay Round, aid in the agricultural sphere being an important topic of those negotiations.
Det præciserede, at en sådan accept blev givet — med forbehold af USA's tilslutning til panelets konklusioner — uden at foregribe de bemærkninger, som Fællesskabet ville frem sætte med hensyn til argumenterne i panelets rapport, og på betingelse af at USA afstod fra ensidige foranstaltninger over for Fællesskabet i overensstemmelse med dette panels konklusioner og under overholdelse af GATT-reglerne.
The Council said that, subject to the United States agreeing to the panel's conclusions, its acceptance would be without prejudice to any comments the Community might make on the arguments set forth in the panel's report, and on condition that the United States abandoned the use of unilateral measures against the Community in accordance with the panel's conclusions and in compliance with GATT rules.
Rådet fulgte fortsat opmærksomt forbindelserne mellem Fællesskabet og Japan.
The Council has continued to monitor closely the relations between the Com munity and Japan.
På samlingen i oktober noterede det sig de fremskridt, der var sket i handelsforbindelserne med Japan, idet det bemærkede, at handelsbalancen stadig var foruroligende for Fællesskabet.
At its meeting in October it noted the progress which had been made in trade relations with Japan, although it also observed that the trade balance was still causing concern to the Community.
Trods den store stigning i EF-eksporten til Japan var handelsuligevægten over for Japan stadig meget markant, og underskuddet stegfra 21,5 til 24,1 mio. ECU.
Despite the strong growth of Community exports to Japan the trade imbalance with that country is still very acute and the deficit has risen from ECU 21.5 to 24.1 million.
I en sådan situation støttede Rådet Kommissionens bestræbelser på at få taget nye skridt til åbning af det japanske marked (navnlig for så vidt angår forarbejdede landbrugsvarer, fiskeri, læder samt juridiske og finansielle tjenesteydelser) samt de nødvendige tilpas ninger til visse strukturer i den japanske økonomi, som f.eks. fordelingssystemerne.
Faced with this situation, the Council has supported the Commission's efforts to secure further measures for the opening up of the Japanese market (especially in the sectors of processed agricultural products, fisheries, leather and legal and financial
Japan rejste på sin side spørgsmålet om de diskriminerende kvantitative restriktioner, som visse medlemsstater stadig anvendte over for Japan.
For its part, Japan has raised the question of the discriminatory quantitative restrictions which some Member States are still applying to that country.
Efter en række samtaler blev der i marts 1989 opnået en pragmatisk aftale mellem Kommissionen og de japanske myndigheder om indførelse af årlige konsultationer med henblik på ophævelse af restriktioner hvert år, uden at der dog blev fastsat noget præcist program eller nogen præcis tidsplan.
Following a series of talks, a pragmatic agreement was reached in March 1989 between the Commission and the Japanese authorities involving annual consultations on the restrictions to be abolished each year, although no precise programme or timetable was decided.
Som følge af denne aftale vedtog Rådet den 28. juli at ophæve at første sæt restriktioner for en række forskellige varer alt efter de enkelte medlemsstater1).
As a result of that agreement, the Council adopted on 28 July a first series of deletion relating to a number of products which varied according to Member State. '
Hvad angår de restriktioner, der skal ophæves i 1990, fandt der en konsultation sted i slutningen af året.
There was consultation at the end of the year on the deletions to be carried out in 1990.
Med ophævelsen af andet sæt restriktioner blev de resterende kvantitative restriktioner over for Japan nedbragt til ca. en tredjedel af deres oprindelige antal.
With this second series of deletion the residual quantitative restrictions still ap plied to Japan will have been reduced to about a third of their original number.
I automobilsektoren, der er et ømtåleligt punkt i forbindelserne med Japan, forelagde Kommissionen i december Rådet en meddelelse, som indeholder en analyse af perspektiverne for EF's bilindustri med henblik på gennemførelsen af enhedsmarkedet og oplysninger om de foranstaltninger, som Kommissionen påtænker på de forskellige områder, der henhører under interne politikker (industri-, social- samt skatte- og afgiftspolitik osv.) og den eksterne handelspolitik.
In the motor vehicle sector — a sensitive issue in relations with Japan — the Council received a Commission communication in December analysing the Community in dustry's prospects in the context of the completion of the single market and in dicating the measures which the Commission was considering in various fields covered by internal policies (industrial, social, fiscal, eta) and by the external trade policy.
Rådet havde en indledende drøftelse om dette emne og forbeholdt sig senere at fastlægge en samlet holdning.
The Council held a preliminary discussion on this subject and said it would establish at a later date an overall position in response to the need for a global ap proach which had been emphasized in the Commission communication.
Handelsforbindelserne med andre industrilande foregår primært inden for GATT's multilaterale rammer.
With other industrialized countries, trade relations are conducted mainly in the multilateral framework of GATT.
Hvad angår navnlig Canada, bemærkes det, at den aftale om handel med alkoholholdige drikkevarer, der blev paraferet i december 1988, blev indgået officielt i februar 19891).
With particular reference to Canada, it may be noted that the Agreement concerning trade and commerce in alcoholic beverages, initialled in December 1988, was official ly concluded in February 1989.2 This Agreement — following up the conclusions of a GATT panel which issued a favourable opinion on the positions defended by the Community — provides for the elimination of a whole range of discrimination ap plied at provincial level in Canada against wine, beer and spirits imported from the Community.
C — Forbindelserne med landene i Centralog Østeuropa
C — Relations with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe
Fællesskabets aktiviteter i forbindelserne med landene i Central- og Østeuropa undergik en voldsom udvikling i 1989 på det tidspunkt, hvor disse lande stod over for betydelige omvæltninger, navnlig i årets anden halvdel.
The Community's activity in its relations with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe underwent major developments in the course of 1989 at a time when those countries were faced with considerable upheavals, especially during the second half of the year.
Flertallet af dem indledte en politisk og økonomisk reformproces med henblik på at skabe et pluralistisk demokrati og indføre markedsøkonomi.
Most of them embarked upon a process of political and economic reforms aimed at establishing a pluralist democracy and a market economy.
Fællesskabets politik over for disse lande udviklede sig på flere planer, først og frem mest på traditionelt plan med den gradvise indførelse af et net af handels- og samarbejdsaftaler (»første generations-aftaler«).
The Community's policy towards these countries has developed on several levels, beginning on a traditional level with the gradual introduction of a network of trade and cooperation agreements ('first-generation agreements').
Således blev der indgået to nye aftaler med Polen og USSR, og der blev indledt forhandlinger med Bulgarien. Da reformproces sen i Polen og i Ungarn togfat, og det var nødvendigt at støtte disse reformer, beslutte des det på topmødet mellem de 7 største industrilande den 14.-16. juli 1989 i Paris
Two new agreements were concluded with Poland and the USSR and negotiations were started with Bulgaria.
Kommissionen fik til opgave at samordne bistanden fra 24 vestlige OECD-medlemslande (»24-landegruppen«).
The Commission was instructed to coordinate the aid supplied by 24 western countries belonging to the OECD (the 'Group of 24').
Fællesskabet blev således drivkraften i denne gruppe, og det vedtog en lang række foranstaltninger uden fortilfælde og af et usædvanligt omfang (»operation PHARE«), der i nogle tilfælde gik videre end det, der var blevet forhandlet i handels- og samarbejdsaftalerne.
The Community thus had a key role to play in the Group and it adopted a whole series of unprecedented measures on an exceptional scale (Operation Phare'), which sometimes went beyond what had recently been negotiated in the trade and cooperation agreements.
Aftalen om handel og om handelsmæssigt og økonomisk samarbejde mellem Fællesskabet og Folkerepublikken Polen, der blev undertegnet den 19. september 1 Warszawa, trådte i kraft den 1. december1).
The Agreement between the Community and the Polish People's Republic on trade and commercial and economic cooperation was signed in Warsaw on 19 September and came into force on 1 December.'
Gyldighedsperioden er i første omgang fem år, og aftalen omfatter handel med industri- og landbrugsvarer bortset fra EKSF-varer og varer, for hvilke der allerede er særlige sektoraftaler (tekstil- og landbrugsvarer).
With an initial duration of five years, it covers trade in industrial and agricultural products except for ECSC products and those already covered by specific sectoral agreements (textile and agricultural).
Hvad angår handel, skal Fællesskabet gradvis i tre etaper ophæve de særlige kvantitative restriktioner (dvs. restriktioner der opretholdes i henhold til protokollen om Po lens tiltrædelse af GATT), idet målet er at fjerne dem fuldstændigt inden den 31. de cember 1994.
In the field of trade, provision is made for a gradual three-stage liberalization by the Community of the specific quantitative restrictions (i.e. those maintained under the Protocol for Poland's accession to the GATT), the aim being to eliminate them totally by 31 December 1994.
Der er en generel beskyttelsesklausul i aftalen, hvorefter der som en sidste udvej er mulighed for GATT-voldgift i tilfælde af vedvarende uenighed.
The Agreement contains a general safeguard clause providing for the possibility of ultimate recourse to GATT arbitration in the event of continuing disagreement.
Den handels- og samarbejdsaftale, der blev undertegnet den 18. december i Bruxelles, var den første aftale mellem Fællesskabet og Sovjetunionen, og den konkretiserede den nye dimension i forbindelserne mellem Fællesskabet og USSR.
The trade and cooperation Agreement, the first agreement between the Com munity and the Soviet Union, was signed in Brussels on 18 December. It gives practical form to the new dimension in relations between the Community and the USSR.
Efter Rådets vedtagelse af forhandlingsdirektiverne den 12. juni blev der afholdt tre forhandlingsrunder, henholdsvis den 19.-20. juli, den 9.-10. oktober og den 22.-25. november.
The Council adopted negotiating directives on 12 June, following which three negotiating sessions were held, on 19 and 20 July, 9 and 10 October and 22 to 25 November.
Forhandlingernes tempo vidner om de to parters vilje til hurtigt at nå et re sultat.
The speed of the negotiations testified to the desire of both parties to reach an early conclusion.
Aftalen blev indgået for en første periode på 10 år, og den finder anvendelse på industri- og landbrugsvarer, bortset fra EKSF-varer og tekstil- og beklædningsvarer, som er omfattet af en aftale, der er forhandlet særskilt1).
The Agreement runs initially for 10 years and applies to industrial and agricultural products except for ECSC products and products from the textiles and clothing sectors which have been the subject of an agreement negotiated separately.'
Hvad angår adgangen til EF-markedet for sovjetiske varer, er Fællesskabet forpligtet til gradvis at ophæve de eksisterende kvantitative restriktioner inden den 31. decem ber 1995.
Regarding access to the Community market for Soviet products, the Community has undertaken to gradually liberalize existing quantitative restrictions between now and 31 December 1995.
Det er dog fastsat, at der inden den 30. juni 1992, dvs. kort tid før gennem førelsen af enhedsmarkedet, skal foretages en undersøgelse i den ved aftalen nedsatte blandede komité af listen over endnu gældende kvantitative restriktioner.
But provision has been made to the effect that before 30 June 1992 — i.e. shortly before the single market is established — the joint committee pro vided for in the Agreement will examine the list of quantitative restrictions still in force.
Aftalen indeholder også en beskyttelsesklausul, som gengiver de bestemmelser, der er vedtaget i GATT på området, samt undtagelser af sikkerhedshensyn.
The Agreement contains a safeguard clause setting out the provisions on the subject agreed within GATT together with the exceptions which are allowed on security grounds.
I aftalen fastsættes målene for det handelsmæssige samarbejde, og visse bestemmelser for konkrete aktioner præciseres.
As regards commercial cooperation, the Agreement lays down its objectives and specifies certain practical means of action.
Sovjetunionen forpligter sig på sin side til at lette betingelserne for EF-erhvervsdrivendes aktiviteter på sovjetisk område og den direkte adgang til sovjetisk erhvervsliv.
For its part, the Soviet Union has under taken toease the conditions under which Community businessmen operate on Soviet territory and to allow them more direct access to their Soviet counterparts.
