B. kadangi Kotonu sutarties pasirašymu 2000 m. pradėtas naujas AKR ir ES ryšių etapas, taip pat pradėtos taikyti naujos prekybos santykių nuostatos,
B. whereas the signing of the Cotonou Agreement in 2000 ushered in a fresh era of ACP-EU relations, including provisions for a new trade relationship,
C. kadangi pagrindinis AKR ir ES partnerystės ir Kotonu sutarties tikslas yra tobulinti AKR valstybių socialinio ir ekonominio vystymosi perspektyvas;
C. whereas the primary objective of the ACP-EU partnership and the Cotonou Agreement is to improve the social and economic development prospects of the ACP countries;
D. kadangi ES vadovaujasi TVT įsipareigojimais, jie yra laikomi tik pirmuoju žingsniu kovojant su skurdu;
D. whereas the EU remains committed to the MDGs, these should only be seen as the first step in the eradication of poverty;
E. kadangi nors Kotonu sutarties ir ES tikslai išlieka aiškūs, atsižvelgiant į tikėtiną dabartinių EPS poveikį trapiai AKR ekonomikai ir skirtingą ES ir AKR šalių ekonomikos išsivystymą, vaidmuo, kurį atlieka EPS, siekiant šių tikslų, kelia vis daugiau klausimų daugeliui dalyvių, tarp kurių: Afrikos valstybių ministrai, kai kurios ES valstybės narės, ir Europos bei besivystančio pasaulio šalių pilietinė visuomenė,
E. whereas the goals of the Cotonou Agreement and the EU are clear, yet considering the expected impact of the EPAs as they stand at present on fragile ACP economies and the different levels of development between the EU and ACP economies, the EPAs' role in achieving these goals has been increasingly questioned by various players, including African Ministers, some EU Member States and European and civil society in the developing world,
F. kadangi ES rinkos sujungimą lydėjo sanglaudos priemonės, padedančios ekonomiškai silpnesnėms šalims,
F. whereas market integration within the EU has been accompanied by cohesion measures in support of economically weaker countries,
G. kadangi Kotonu sutartyje pabrėžiamas AKR šalių regioninės integracijos iniciatyvų poreikis, kadangi didesnių regioninių rinkų sukūrimas ir didesnė regioninė integracija bus paskatinimas prekybininkams ir investuotojams,
G. whereas the Cotonou Agreement underlines the need to build on the regional integration initiatives of ACP States, as the creation of larger regional markets and deeper regional integration will act as an incentive for traders and investors,
H. kadangi Kotonu sutartyje pabrėžiamas šalių susitarimas sudaryti naujus PPO reikalavimus atitinkančius prekybos susitarimus, palaipsniui mažinant tarp šalių esančius prekybos barjerus ir didinant bendradarbiavimą visose su prekyba susijusiose srityse,
H. whereas the Cotonou Agreement sets out the Parties’ agreement to conclude new WTO-compatible trading arrangements, progressively removing barriers to trade between them and enhancing co-operation in all areas relevant to trade,
I. kadangi esantiems prekybos susitarimams (Kotonu sutarties V priedas „Prekybos režimas parengiamuoju periodu, kaip nurodyta 37 straipsnio 1 dalyje“) taikomas PPO atsisakymas, kuris nustos galioti 2007 m. pabaigoje,
I. whereas the existing trade arrangements (Annex V to the Cotonou Agreement “Trade Regime applicable during the Preparatory Period referred to in Article 37(1)”) are covered by a WTO waiver that is due to expire at the end of 2007,
J. kadangi nors EPS turėtų apibrėžti naujus ES ir AKR šalių prekybos santykius, tačiau, prekybos tarp nelygiaverčių partnerių liberalizavimas istoriškai įrodė esantis neveiksmingas ir galintis netgi duoti priešingų rezultatų,
J. whereas EPAs are supposed to define new trade relationships between EU Member States and ACP countries, yet liberalising trade between unequal partners as a tool for development has historically proven to be ineffective and even counterproductive,
K. kadangi EPS regioninis aspektas yra svarbus stiprinant ne tik prekybą tarp Šiaurės ir Pietų, bet ir prekybą tarp Pietų ir Pietų,
K. whereas the regional aspect of the EPAs is essential in strengthening not only North-South trade, but also South-South trade,
L. kadangi mažiausiai išsivysčiusioms AKR šalims buvo suteikta ES rinkos prieiga pagal „Viskas, išskyrus ginklus“ (Everything But Arms) iniciatyvą,
L. whereas ACP Least Developed Countries (LDCs) have been granted market access to the EU under 'Everything But Arms' (EBA),
M. kadangi pagal Kotonu sutarties 19 straipsnį galima AKR ir ES bendradarbiavimo pagrindus pakoreguoti pagal kiekvienos AKR šalies individualias aplinkybes,
M. whereas Article 19 of the Cotonou Agreement allows the ACP-EU cooperation framework to be tailored to the individual circumstances of each ACP country,
O. kadangi pagal Kotonu sutarties 37 straipsnio 6 dalį AKR šalys turi teisę išnagrinėti EPS alternatyvas,
O. whereas under Article 37(6) of the Cotonou Agreement, ACP countries have the right to explore alternatives to EPAs,
P. kadangi EPS derybos vyksta jau ketvirti metai, tačiau atrodo, kad tebėra daugybė kliūčių baigti derybas iki 2007 m. gruodžio 31 d., kaip numato Kotonu sutartis; kadangi GATT XXIV straipsnyje numatytas laisvosios prekybos erdvės sukūrimo plano ir grafiko užbaigimas „per protingą laikotarpį“,
P. whereas the EPA negotiations are currently in their fourth year, however it seems many hurdles remain if the negotiations are to be concluded by 31 December 2007 as provided for in the Cotonou Agreement ; whereas Article XXIV of GATT requires a plan and a schedule for completion of a free-trade area "within a reasonable length of time",
2. tiki kad, tinkamai suformuotas, EPS suteikia galimybę atgaivinti AKR–ES prekybinius santykius, skatinti AKR ekonominę diversifikaciją ir regioninę integraciją, bei mažinti skurdą AKR šalyse;
Believes that, appropriately designed, EPAs represent an opportunity to revitalise ACP – EU trading relations, promote ACP economic diversification and regional integration, and reduce poverty in the ACP countries;
5. mano, kad siekiant šių plėtros tikslų EPS turėtų ypač susitelkti ties tinkamo ekonominio vadovavimo skatinimu, AKR šalių ekonomikų regioninės integracijos skatinimu, investicijų AKR šalyse pritraukimu ir jų didinimu;
Believes that in order to achieve these developmental objectives EPAs should notably focus on fostering good economic governance, promoting regional integration of ACP economies, and attracting and retaining higher levels of investment within ACP countries;
11. pabrėžia visuomeninių paslaugų svarbą vystymuisi ir demokratijai, dėl to prašo Komisiją veikti atsargiai liberalizuojant paslaugų sektorių ir atsisakyti vandens, sveikatos, švietimo, transporto ir energetikos sektorių liberalizavimo;
Stresses the importance of public services for development and democracy and consequently asks the Commission to act with caution when considering the liberalisation of service sectors, and in particular to protect water, health, education, transport and energy from liberalisation;
13. pabrėžia, kad Geros praktikos darbo vietų kūrimas visiškai atsižvelgiant į darbuotojų teises yra esminis kovos su skurdu ir TVT siekio elementas, nes tai skatina darnių pragyvenimo šaltinių ir socialinių sąlygų, kur gali būti stiprinama demokratija, plėtrą;
Stresses that the creation of Decent Work with full respect for workers' rights, is an essential element in combating poverty and achieving the MDGs, since it promotes the development of sustainable livelihoods and the social conditions where equality and democracy can be strengthened;
15. ragina Komisiją imtis ambicingų naujų iniciatyvų stabilizuojant kainas tų prekių, kurios yra svarbios besivystančioms šalims, ir pabrėžia Komisijos iniciatyvų, kurios skatintų produktų įvairinimą ir pridėtinės vertės gamybą, svarbą;
Urges the Commission to pursue ambitious new initiatives to stabilise the price of commodities which are essential to developing countries, and stresses the importance of Commission initiatives to stimulate product diversification and value-added production;
19. ragina Komisiją į EPS įtraukti suderintus apsaugos mechanizmus, kad AKR būtų suteikta pakankamai politinės erdvės, jei reikės, mokėjimų balanso sunkumų ar makroekonominių nesklandumų atveju;
Calls on the Commission to introduce a safeguard mechanism in the EPAs, in order to provide the ACP with sufficient policy space and, if necessary, temporarily suspend liberalisation in the event of balance of payments difficulties or macro-economic shocks;
21. pažymėdamas investicijų AKR ekonominei plėtrai svarbą, ragina Komisiją ieškoti EIB investavimo priemonės darbo pakeitimų, kad priemonė galėtų skatinti papildomą ir vystymuisi skirtą investavimą;
Noting the importance of investment for the economic development of the ACP, urges the Commission to seek changes in the working of the EIB's investment facility, to enable the facility to promote additional and pro-development investment;
37. primena, kad Kotonu sutartyje numatyta, kad jei valstybė ar regionas nenori pasirašyti EPS/LPS, jai neturi būti sudaromos nepalankesnės sąlygos patekimo į rinką prasme; ragina Komisiją ištirti visas alternatyvias galimybes, įskaitant neabipusius susitarimus, kaip numatyta Kotonu sutarties 37 straipsnio 6 dalyje, kurios nuostatų turi būti laikomasi;
Recalls that the Cotonou Agreement provides that in the event that a country or region does not wish to sign up to an EPA/FTA it should not find itself worse off in terms of market access; calls on the Commission to examine all alternative possibilities including non-reciprocal arrangements as stated in Article 37(6) of the Cotonou Agreement, which provision should be respected if ACP countries accepted this;
39. sveikina AKR ir ES diskusijas dėl taisyklių dėl investicijų, konkurencijos ir skaidrumo viešuosiuose pirkimuose pagal EPS mandatą, siekiant skatinti prekybą ir vystymasi; tačiau pabrėžia, kad AKR regionai EPS derybose neturi būti verčiami priimti naujų taisyklių;
Welcomes ACP-EU discussions on rules on investment, competition and transparency in government procurement under the mandate of EPAs in order to promote trade and development; stresses, however, that new rules should not be forced upon ACP regions in the EPA negotiations;
44. prašo Pirmininką perduoti šią rezoliuciją Tarybai, Komisijai, ES valstybių narių vyriausybėms ir AKR šalims, AKR ir ES Tarybai ir AKR bei ES jungtinei parlamentinei asamblėjai.
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the governments of the EU Member States and of the ACP countries, the ACP-EU Council and the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly.
Between 1975 and 2000 the EU's trade relationship with the AKR countries was governed by the Lomé Conventions which granted AKR countries unilateral preferential access to the European market.

The preferences enjoyed by AKR countries under Lomé were non-reciprocal.

In 2000, the Cotonou Partnership Agreement was signed, which was “centred on the objective of reducing and eventually eradicating poverty, consistent with sustainable development and the gradual integration of AKR countries into the world economy”

As stipulated in the Cotonou Agreement, the EU and AKR countries began negotiating Economic Partnership Agreements (EPSs) - regional free trade agreements compatible with WTO rules – in September 2002.
As stipulated in the Cotonou Agreement, the EU and ACP countries began negotiating Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) - regional free trade agreements compatible with WTO rules – in September 2002.
Under the EPSs AKR countries have been asked to liberalize their markets and enter new reciprocal regional trading systems with the EU.
Under the EPAs ACP countries have been asked to liberalize their markets and enter new reciprocal regional trading systems with the EU.
One of the reasons for negotiating EPSs is that the EU’s non-reciprocal trade relationship with AKR countries granted under the Lomé Conventions and, in the interim period, under the Cotonou Agreement, is inconsistent with the WTO’s “enabling clause”.
One of the reasons for negotiating EPAs is that the EU’s non-reciprocal trade relationship with ACP countries granted under the Lomé Conventions and, in the interim period, under the Cotonou Agreement, is inconsistent with the WTO’s “enabling clause”.
As the AKR regions cover countries of both groups, the original preferences granted to the AKR countries are incompatible with current WTO rules.
As the ACP regions cover countries of both groups, the original preferences granted to the ACP countries are incompatible with current WTO rules.
At the founding of the WTO in 1995 the EU and AKR countries managed to secure a waiver to cover the Lomé Conventions which was then extended in Doha 2001 to cover the intervening period of the Cotonou Agreement.

However, in order to make the EU-AKR trade relationship WTO-compliant in the long-term, a solution has been sought in the EPSs.

Under the proposed EPSs the trade relationship between the EU and the different AKR regional groups will be reciprocal; EPSs will therefore be governed by GATT Article XXIV rather than its “enabling clause”.
Under the proposed EPAs the trade relationship between the EU and the different ACP regional groups will be reciprocal; EPAs will therefore be governed by GATT Article XXIV rather than its “enabling clause”.
Under Article XXIV countries at different levels of development can enter into a reciprocal free trade agreement providing that the liberalisation of “substantially all trade” occurs within a “reasonable length of time” – in the context of the EPSs this has come to be understood as roughly 90% of trade within 10-12 years

Although the Cotonou Agreement was signed in June 2000, it took a further two years for the EU and the AKR to adopt formal negotiating mandates/guidelines for the EPSs.

Although this all-AKR-EU phase was never closed, in 2003 the regional negotiations were initiated between the EU and the AKR countries beginning with Central Africa and West Africa, and in 2004 with Eastern and Southern Africa, the Caribbean and lastly the Southern Africa Development Community.

Since the start of the regional negotiations, most have followed a broadly similar trajectory by establishing a Joint Roadmap between the EU and individual AKR region.

After almost a year of regional negotiations, major concerns about the impact of EPSs on fragile AKR economies and indeed the effectiveness of trade liberalisation as a tool for development, have been raised by both NGOs and many AKR governments.

It is clear that implementing a reciprocal free trade agreement will be extremely difficult for the AKR countries whose level of development is firstly, very much behind the EU's and secondly, varies a great deal within regions themselves.

The scope and terms of the trade preferences granted under the Lomé conventions were decided mainly by the EU and did not halt the decline in AKR market share.

However this does not mean that reciprocal free trade represents a better solution for strengthening AKR economies.

Reciprocity represents a major shift in the EU's approach to development and trade policies with AKR partners; considering the negative impact that premature liberalisation may have on partner countries - as is now recognized by most development practitioners - it needs to be carefully sequenced.

The Europos Komisija and the AKR countries therefore need to work in partnership to press for a revision of GATT Article XXIV, to allow for special and differential treatment for developing countries.
