Landene i Asien indlede forhandlinger om indgåelse af aftaler med USA om fjernelse af tekniske handelshindringer i forbindelse med handel med industrivarer, tjeneste­ydelser, offentlige indkøb og intellektuel ejen­domsret.
It called for an interinstitutional agreement to give it better information on and closer involvement in the negotiations. Parliament also insisted on better interparliamentary cooperation between itself and the US Congress.
Aftalerne tager sigte på en gennemførelse af handlingsplanen for det transatlantiske partner­skab, som blev aftalt på topmødet i maj 1998 mel­ rale forhandlinger understreger Parlamentet beho­vet for at mindske de handelshindringer ved hjælp af nye aftaler om gensidig anerkendelse (MRA) for bestemte produkter og sektorer bakket op af en ud­videt dialog om lovgivningen, og Parlamentet fremhæver, at enhver aftale om gensidig anerken­delse med USA skal være i overensstemmelse med EU's høje beskyttelsesniveau, når det gælder for­ lem EU og USA, og som også Rådet går ind for
Parliament urged that negotiations conducted in the framework of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and trans­atlantic relations not be allowed to affect the Community acquis, and in particular services of general interest. It called on the EU and the USA to press for relations to be established be­tween the WTO and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to promote internationally recognised core labour standards (amounting to a commitment not to use labour standards for protectionist purposes).
Handlingsplanen har til formål at brugerne, folkesundheden, sikkerhed og miljø.
The Council decision authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the USA for several agreements intended to remove technical barriers to trade between the two part­ners (in industrial products, services, public pro­curement and intellectual property rights).
Par­ lamentet beklager, at flere sektorbestemte aftaler fjerne de faktiske hindringer, der fortsat findes i den transatlantiske samhandel.
The aim of the agreements is to put into practice the transatlantic economic partnership action plan agreed on at the May 1998 EU-US Summit.
Visse af planens elementer gennemføres via samarbejde (bedre sam­arbejde på det retlige område, samarbejde mellem videnskabsfolk, kortlægning af prioriterede områ­der, hvor hindringer skal fjernes, koordinering af EU's og USA's holdninger i internationale organi­sationer). I andre tilfælde gennemføres planen via forhandling på handelsområdet.
The Council also approved the action plan itself (- > point 2.2.1). The action plan seeks to eliminate genuine remaining barriers in transatlantic trade. Some elements of the plan will be pursued through cooperative action (improved regulatory cooperation, cooperation among scientists, iden­tification of priority sectors for the removal of obstacles, coordination of EU and US positions within international organisations); in other cases, action will take the form of trade negotia­tions.

Parlamentet glæder sig over forslaget om op­rettelse af et transatlantisk økonomisk partnerskab.
Parliament welcomed the proposal to establish a transatlantic econo­mic partnership, but condemned US threats to impose unilateral sanctions on the Union in re­taliation for changes to the banana regime, maintaining that any US complaints should instead be directed at the WTO Dispute Settle­ment Body; it called for the action plan to be implemented under the transatlantic economic partnership to be suspended until the threat of sanctions against Community products was withdrawn.
Det fordømmer dog den amerikanske fremgangs­måde, som tager sigte på at true Den Europæiske Union med en række ensidige sanktioner som gen­gældelse for den ændrede ordning for bananer, og det insisterer på, at eventuelle klager fra ameri­kansk side snarere skal rettes til organet for bilæg­gelse af tvistigheder i Verdenshandelsorganisatio­nen, og det kræver, at handlingsplanen om det nye transatlantiske økonomiske partnerskab stilles i bero, indtil truslen om sanktioner mod varer fra EU-landene trækkes tilbage. Angående de bilate-

Besøg i Hongkong aflagt af formand for Kommissionen Jacques Santer den 2. og 3. novem­ber.
Visit by the EU troika to New Delhi, India, on 13 November.
Under besøget, der var udtryk for de forbedrede forbindelser mellem EU og Kina siden begyndel­sen af 1998, blev Kommissionens formand Jacques Santer, der var ledsaget af Kommissionens næstfor­mand sir Leon Brittan og kommissionsmedlem Yves-Thibault de Silguy, modtaget af Kinas præsi­dent Jiang Zemin, premierminister Zhu Rongji, vi­cepremierminister Li Lanqing og formanden for den nationale folkekongres Li Peng.
During the course of the visit, which reflected an overall upgrading of EU relations with China since early 1998, Mr Santer, together with Sir Leon Brittan and Mr de Silguy, met China's President Mr Jiang Zemin, the Premier, Mr Zhu Rongji, Vice Premier Mr Li Lanqing, and National People's Congress Chairman Mr Li Peng.
Jacques Santer orienterede om euroens indførelse som et stabilise­rende element i det internationale finanssystem, der kan konsolidere åbningen af EU's marked og stimulere samhandelen mellem EU og Kina, og han udtrykte sin faste støtte til de administrative og økonomiske reformer, Kina har iværksat.
Describing the introduction of the euro as a stabilising force which would buttress the openness of the EU market and enhance EU-China trade, Mr Santer expressed strong support for China's administrative and economic reforms and stated the view that liberalisation of financial services, together with a commitment to transparency and sound supervision, would serve as the best defence against financial crises, while recognising that the restructuring of State enterprises, including some privatisation, repre­sented a major challenge, as did reform and increasing transparency of the banking sector.
Han an­erkendte, at omstruktureringen af statsvirksomhe­derne, herunder privatiseringsindsatsen, og refor­men af banksystemer med øget klarhed udgjorde en væsentlig opgave, men han pegede på, at en li­beralisering af de finansielle tjenesteydelser og en indsats for klarhed og effektiv kontrol ville med­føre den bedste beskyttelse mod finanskriser.
He welcomed China's commitment to monetary stability and pointed out that the EU was willing to open its markets further to Chinese exports to enable China to overcome the Asian crisis, on condition that there was also a significant open-ing-up of the Chinese market.
Han udtrykte tilfredshed med Kinas indsats for en stabil valuta, og han pegede på, at EU var rede til at åbne sit marked yderligere for Kinas eksport, for at Kina kan modstå krisen i Asien, på betingelse af at der ligeledes sker en væsentlig åbning af det kine­siske marked.
He expressed a desire to intensify the dialogue on bilateral trade relations between the EU and China. He con­firmed the Commission's support for Chinese membership of the WTO, and said that China would soon need to provide an improved offer to open its market to foreign goods and services.
Han udtrykte ønske om at uddybe dialogen om de bilaterale handelsforbindelser mel­lem EU og Kina.
The participants also held an open discussion on human rights, building on the constructive human rights dialogue which had been devel­oped during the last year between the EU and China; Mr Santer congratulated China on sign­ing two UN covenants on human rights and of­fered technical assistance in ensuring their quick ratification.
Angående Kinas medlemskab af WTO bekræftede han Kommissionens støtte og un­derstregede nødvendigheden af, at Kina hurtigt kom med et bedre tilbud om åbning af sit marked for udenlandske varer og tjenesteydelser.
He referred to the situation in Tibet, restating the EU view that both the Chinese Government and the Dalai Lama should enter into direct dialogue as soon as possible.

Visit by Ms Bonino to Central Amer­ica (- > point 1.3.44). Bilateral relations
Efter den katastrofe, orkanen Mitch har frem­kaldt, udtrykker Europa-Parlamentet sin dybe be­kymring over og sin solidaritet med folkene i Mel­lemamerika, mens det glæder sig over den spon­tane og omfattende solidaritet, som borgerne i EU og de europæiske ngo'er har udvist under indtryk af katastrofens omfang, og over Kommissionens og medlemsstaternes hurtige reaktion ved afsendelse af nødhjælp.
Parliament expressed deep dismay at the disaster caused by Hurricane Mitch and solidarity with the people of Central America; it welcomed the massive spontaneous solidarity displayed by the citizens of the Euro­pean Union and their civilian organisations in the face of this major disaster, and the speed with which the Commission and the Member States had responded by sending aid to the coun­tries concerned.
Parlamentet opfordrer Kommissionen til at udarbejde en meddelelse om en plan for gen­opbygning i området, som ikke blot skal omfatte humanitær bistand, men også budgetmæssige aspekter og samarbejde, præferenceordninger inden for samhandlen med de mellemamerikanske lande og større lån fra EIB.
It called on the Commission to draw up a strategic communication on a recon­struction plan for the region, going beyond humanitarian aid to include budgetary and coop­eration issues, trade mechanisms and prefer­ences for the countries of Central America, and increased EIB loans.
Endvidere opfordrer Parla­mentet Rådet og medlemsstaterne til at imøde­komme de mellemamerikanske landes anmodning om slettelse af deres udlandsgæld for at hjælpe med at kanalisere bistanden til genopbygningen og genrejsningen i området, indtil de atter er nået op på deres nuværende udviklingsniveau.
It also called on the Coun­cil and Member States to respond to the Central American countries' request for the cancellation of their external debts, and on the international financial bodies and creditor countries to declare a moratorium on debt repayments so as to allow all the countries' resources to be channelled into reconstructing and rehabilitating the region, until such time as they had regained their previ­ous levels of development.

Relations with ACP countries
Kommissionen betragter den private sektor som en vigtig partner i EU's udviklingssamarbejde med AVS-landene, og den opstiller en helhedsstrategi, der skal fremme udviklingen i sektoren for at af­hjælpe fattigdommen og fremme AVS-landenes in­ternationale konkurrenceevne og deres deltagelse i verdensøkonomien.
In this communica­tion the Commission identifies the private sector as a major development cooperation partner for the Community in the ACP countries and sets out a global approach which will encourage pri­vate sector development, help reduce poverty and make the ACP countries more competitive and able to participate in the world economy.
Der er fortsat hindringer for udviklingen af sektoren, og Kommissionen foreslår at hjælpe AVS-landenes regeringer med at gen­nemføre såkaldte »andengenerationsreformer« (pri­vatiseringer, skatte- og afgiftsreform, reform af sel­skabsretten og erhvervsretten), at fremme dialogen mellem den private sektor og regeringerne, at for­bedre de finansielle og ikkefinansielle tjenesteydel­ser til virksomheder, at fremskaffe flere private fi­nansieringsmidler og at fremme meget små virk­somheder samt udvikle erhvervssamarbejdet mel­lem EU og AVS-landene.
The Commission stresses the existence of bar­riers to development in this sector and proposes help for ACP governments with implementing what are known as second generation reforms (e.g. privatisation, tax reform, reform of com­pany and commercial law), improving financial and non-financial services to businesses, cata­lysing additional flows of private finance, pro­moting micro-businesses and commercial part­nerships between the Union and the ACP countries, and with the dialogue between the pri­vate sector and the respective governments.
Kommissionen agter i den forbindelse at anvende finansielle og tekniske instrumenter i form af subventioner, investering­skapital til virksomheder, regionale aktivitetsfora eller støtte til innovation, forskning og teknologisk udvikling.
To this end, the Commission aims to make use of such financial and technical instruments as sub­sidies, investment capital for businesses, regional forums on given activities and support for innovation, research and technological de­velopment.
Kommissionen ønsker endvidere, at Den Europæiske Investeringsbank udbygger sin rolle, bl.a. i forbindelse med finanssektoren, i de pågæl­dende lande, og at Centret for Industriel Udvikling udvider sit arbejdsområde til at omfatte tjeneste­ydelser og samarbejder med Kommissionen om denne strategi.
It would also like the European Investment Bank to expand its role, particularly its financing activities, and the Centre for the Development of Industry to extend its activities to cooperation with the Commission on its strat­egy for the services sector.
