EU og Rusland undertegnede i 1994 en partnerskabs- og samarbejdsaftale, der trådte i kraft i de cember 1997.
The MEPs believe relying on unemployment figures alone can mask the degree of poverty in each specific region when compared to other EU states.
Europa-Parlamentet opfordrer til at udnytte alle muligheder i aftalen, og der nævnes bl.a. indførelsen af et frihandelsområde, når betingelserne herfor er til stede.
For example, an area such as the East Midlands, which received Ecul80 million in funding earmarked for industrial areas, has an unemployment rate of 7.7 per cent ­ considerably lower than the EU average ­ yet GDP per capita, when adjusted for cost of living differences, came to Ecul5,643 in 1995­ below the EU average.
Der skal også sættes fokus på miljøet, mener Parlamentet og peger i denne for bindelse på at integrere økonomiske og miljømæssige interesser i gennemførelsen af miljømæssigt bæredygtige politikker.
Some 127 European social fund projects have now been approved but two major schemes, the Media Factory Discovery Park and the Merseyside Rapid Transit System, are still awaiting a decision.
Det er derfor helt klart i EU's interesse at sikre en udvikling med demokrati og markedsøkonomi, under stregede han.
SouthYorkshire, with a GDP per capita of Ecul2,426 or 72 per cent of the EU average in 1995, is a new entrant into the poorest areas category but the Highlands and Islands of
Den tyske Grønne Elisabeth Schrödter så opbygningen af et nyt forhold til Rusland som en kæmpe udfordring for Europa.
"The Commission's proposal adoption means that the statistics used might include the 1996 figures in the three­year average that will be used for the calculation.
Der er brug for en stor og bred samlet strategi, vurderede hun.
The 1995 figures are now out and show us as qualifying as one of only two UK regions along with South Yorkshire," he writes.

Scotland, on 76 per cent, just climbs out of the bottom table, as does Northern Ireland, on 78 per cent of the EU average. Eurostat also reports a 1.3 per cent decline in growth rates in the Merseyside and Grampian regions.
EU er nu Ruslands vigtigste handelspartner, og Rusland er det land, der har modtaget mest støtte fra Tacisprogrammet (Faglig bistand til landene i den tidligere Sovjetunion).
The new proposal is to con­tinue the fund from 2000 to 2006 with a budget of Ecu20.8bn.
Europa-Parlamentet mener, at ud over bistand på det økonomiske område skal Tacisprogrammet også bruges til at

Nyt partnerskab med AVS-landene
Partnership is the key to helping developing nations
Parlamentet henviser dog til, at næsten samtlige lande i Afrika har ratificeret Abuja-traktaten om op rettelse af et økonomisk fælles skab i Afrika, og mener derfor, at Lomé-V bør støtte dette fælles skabs opbygning.
MEPs this month approved a plan that will enable disabled people to park in different spots across the EU using a standard model EU-parking card.
Partnerskab er nøgleordet, når EU til september indleder forhandlinger om en ny samarbejdsaftale med landene i Afrika, Vestindien og Stillehavsområdet (AVS).
Tom Megahy (Yorkshire South West, PES), who is partially disabled, explained the need for the card in view of the proliferation of varying national cards which could cause confusion and result in traffic inspectors not recognising cards from another country.
Det vil således være EU's målsætning at ændre AVS-landenes forhold til EU fra afhængighed til partnerskab.
To guard against misuse, the card will apply to a person and not a vehicle but it will be left for each member state to decide on the definition of disability.
Hovedvægten i det nye partnerskab skal lægges på bekæmpelse af fattigdom.
K secretary of state for international development, Clare Short, told MEPs
Der er stor enigheden mellem Rådet, Kommissionen og Parlamentet om, i hvilken retning samarbejdet med AVS-landene skal bevæge sig. Den nye konvention bliver den femte i rækken og går derfor under betegnelsen Lomé-V.
Social affairs Commissioner Padraig Flynn welcomed the move as a small but significant step forward that would contribute to help with free movement for disabled drivers.
AVS-landene skal i højere grad have ansvaret for deres egen ud vikling for at styrke en ansvarlig og moden dialog.

The present convention expires in 2000 and with 1.3 billion of the world population getting by on less than 50p a day, Ms Short wants the new agreement to be focused on tackling hunger and degradation with a view to halv­ing absolute poverty by 2015, and making basic health facili­ties available to all by the same year.

Der var i Parlamentet bred enighed om, at der i den nye partnerskabsaftale bør indføres et totalt forbud mod anvendelse af personelminer.
ACCIDENTS in the home and during leisure time result in 83,000 deaths and 22 million injured each year in the EU.
Der skal samtidig fast lægges en tidsplan for rydning af de eksisterende miner og oprettes en særlig fond, der skal sikre et minefrit EU/AVS-område.
Some 300,000 of those who are injured annually will be physically disadvantaged for the rest of their life.
Det er EU's mål at opnå en større grad af partnerskab, hvor EU's og AVS-landenes fælles interesser bliver tilgodeset.
Those who are most at risk are women and children, and the total financial cost of treating accident victims (including road accidents) is estimated at between Ecu70 billion and Ecu95bn.
Kom missionen indrømmer dog, at partnerskab indtil nu har været svært at føre ud i livet.
In addition, there are 43,000 suicides each year in the EU.
Forbindelserne med AVS-landene har i voksende grad været domineret af af hængighed af bistand.
Commission proposals to cut the accident and suicide rate by improving safety standards were therefore very timely, and last month in Strasbourg MEPs debated the issue.
Der er ofte blevet taget kortsigtede hensyn som reaktion på krisesituationer.
They gave broad approval to the proposals although they argued that a total of Ecu14m should be set aside for the whole of the five-year programme, rather than the Commission's figure of Ecu1.3m for the first year only.

IN PRESENTING the first ever European prize to building companies who have shown a European awareness in building projects, Sir Jack Stewart-Clark (Sussex East and Kent South, EPP) said Europe's construction industry had shown that it could produce viable projects in marine and leisure areas.
Han mente, at der på mellemlang sigt var behov for at oprette frihandelsaftaler, men at der ville blive behov for over gangsordninger.
Sir Jack added: "European legislation plays a real part in defining environmental standards and encouraging wildlife conservation, but it must not go over the top by burdening firms with needless red tape.
Lone Dybkjær fra Det Radikale Venstre mente, at listen over AVS-lande trænger til at blive revideret. - Det er godt, at vi har fået taget fat på debatten om de reformer, der er nødvendige for at komme væk fra postkolonialismens af-

But Ms Short has already announced that British aid pol­icy will no longer be tied to ser­vices provided by British com­panies.
Kommissær João Pinhiero sag de, at det er vigtigt at gøre sig klart, hvad der er galt for at kunne finde frem til de rigtige midler, der skal tages i anvendelse.
