84. pozdravlja nedavno študijo o makroekonomskih koristih spodbujanja nadaljnjega gospodarskega povezovanja med EU in ZDA, ki jo je opravila Organizacija za gospodarsko sodelovanje in razvoj (OECD), v kateri se ocenjuje, da bo zaradi znatnega odpravljanja ovir za dostopanje na trg, tuje neposredne naložbe in trgovino, BDP na prebivalca v EU porasel med 2 % in 3.5 %, v ZDA pa med 1 % in 3 %;
Welcomes the recent study conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) into the macroeconomic benefits of promoting further economic integration between the EU and the US, estimating the gains in GDP per capita of significant reductions in the barriers to market access, foreign direct investment and trade in the E U and the U S at 2 to 3.5 per cent and 1 to 3 per cent respectively;
Čezatlantski dialogi
Transatlantic dialogues
88. je seznanjen z dejstvom, da se je čezatlantski poslovni dialog uspešno preoblikoval, da bi se zagotavljal učinkovitejši prispevek iz poslovnega sveta z namenom krepitve gospodarskega partnerstva;
Takes note of the fact that the Transatlantic Business Dialogue (TABD) has successfully reshaped its format to provide more efficient business input with a view to strengthening the economic partnership;
91. ugotavlja, da drugi čezatlantski dialogi, ki obstajajo izven uradnih sporazumov, ravno tako prispevajo h krepitvi vezi med EU in ZDA; priporoča, da se ponovno pregleda obstoječa struktura čezatlantskih dialogov in raziščejo nova obetajoča področja za poglobljeno sodelovanje;
Notes that other transatlantic dialogues existing outside the official agreements also contribute to foster ties between the EU and the US; recommends that the current structure of the transatlantic dialogues be reviewed and new promising areas for enhanced cooperation be explored;
Vloga Evropskega parlamenta
The Role of the European Parliament
94. priporoča, da vsaj predsednik Evropskega parlamenta in vodstvo kongresa ZDA sodelujejo pri naslednjem vrhunskem srečanju EU-ZDA ter da se Evropski parlament in kongres ZDA praviloma vključita v priprave in dejansko izvedbo vseh prihodnjih vrhunskih srečanj EU-ZDA;
Recommends that at least the President of the European Parliament and US Congress leadership participate in the next EU-US Summit and, as a general rule, that the European Parliament and the US Congress be associated with the preparation and actual holding of all future EU-US summit meetings;
97. svoj zadevni odbor poziva, naj s proračunom za 2007 zagotovi potrebna sredstva za ustanovitev stalnega urada Evropskega parlamenta v Washingtonu, ki bi dejavnostim Parlamenta zagotavljal ustrezno ustaljeno obliko in omogočal boljše stike med EP in kongresom ZDA;
Calls on its relevant committee to use the budget for 2007 to provide the necessary funds for establishing a permanent European Parliament official post in Washington DC that ensures proper institutionalisation of Parliament's own activities and allows for improved liaison between the EP and the US Congress;
V zadnjih letih se je nemara zdelo, da je pritisk na čezatlantske odnose na političnem področju včasih vplival na področje gospodarstva.
In recent years, it may have appeared as if the strain on transatlantic relations in the political field had at times affected the economic sphere.
Ravno tako se je nemara lahko zdelo, kot da je privlačnost, ki se povezuje z globalizacijo in novimi trgi, kot so Kitajska, Brazilija ali Indija, zmanjšala razsežnosti ali pomen čezatlantskih gospodarskih vezi.
It may have also appeared as if the appeal associated to globalization and emerging markets such as China, Brazil or India had reduced the magnitude or significance of transatlantic economic ties.
Kot dokazujejo nedavna akademska dela in kot se odraža v pričujočem poročilu, dejansko drži ravno nasprotno: čezatlantske trgovinske in naložbene vezi nikoli niso bile močnejše.
In fact, as recent academic work has demonstrated, and as reflected in this report, the opposite is true: transatlantic commercial and investment ties have never been stronger.
S stališča vsakdanjih rešitev, gre za pristen čezatlantski trg, za katerega sta značilna močno gospodarsko vezivo ter skupna zavest o istih vrednotah in standardih.
For all practical purposes, we are dealing with a genuine transatlantic market with powerful economic glue and a shared sense of common values and standards.
V kontekstu napetih političnih odnosov, ki so sledili sporu o Iraku, in navkljub dejstvu, da v središču medijske pozornosti ostajajo banane, izvozna posojila in letalske subvencije, je resnica pravzaprav ta, da so gospodarske vezi med EU in ZDA postale pomemben steber za stabilizacijo širših čezatlantskih odnosov.
Indeed, against the backdrop of tense political relations following the rows over Iraq, and despite the fact that bananas, export credits and aircraft subsidies keep on capturing media attention, the truth is that economic ties between the EU and the US have become an important stabilizing pillar for the broader transatlantic relationship.
To poročilo se osredotoča na gospodarsko razsežnost odnosov EU-ZDA.
This report focuses on the economic dimension of EU-US relations.
Zastavljeno je vzporedno in sočasno s poročilom v Odboru za zunanje zadeve, ki ga pripravlja Elmar Brok in se osredotoča na politična vprašanja in vprašanja zunanjih zadev.
It is set to run in parallel and synchrony with Mr. Brok's report in the Committee on Foreign Affairs, which concentrates on the political and foreign affairs issues.
Poročevalec si je zadal, da na osnovi uveljavljenega parlamentarnega sodelovanja, svojo pozornost usmeri na celosten okvir in poglavitne elemente zunanje razsežnosti gospodarskih odnosov EU-ZDA, medtem ko se drugi parlamentarni odbori osredotočajo na svoja mnenja k temu poročilu, ki se nanašajo na posebna vprašanja, za katera so pristojni.
The rapporteur, on the basis of a well established parliamentary co-operation, has undertaken to focus on the overarching framework and main elements of the external dimension of EU-US economic relations while other parliamentary committees are concentrating in their opinions to this report on the specific issues falling under their area of responsibility.
Končni rezultat bi moralo biti izčrpno, razdelano in uravnoteženo poročilo, ki zajema poglavitna področja sodelovanja in podaja predloge glede ključnih vprašanj.
The overall result should be a comprehensive, structured and well-balanced report covering the main areas of co-operation and making proposals on key issues.
Poročilo je razdeljeno na štiri poglavja.
The report is structured under four main sections.
Najprej se v poglavju z naslovom „Dejanski čezatlantski trg“ poda analiza o tem, v kakšni meri sta gospodarstvi EU in ZDA postali soodvisni.
First, the section "A de facto Transatlantic Market" analyses the extent to which the EU and the US economies have become interdependent.
Drugo poglavje, „Pot naprej: močnejše čezatlantsko gospodarsko partnerstvo“ predlaga nov sporazum o čezatlantskem partnerstvu, ki vodi k vzpostavitvi „čezatlantskega trga brez ovir“ do leta 2015.
The second section, "the way ahead: a stronger transatlantic partnership" proposes a new Transatlantic Partnership Agreement that leads to the achievement of a "barrier-free transatlantic market" by 2015.
V tretjem poglavju se, glede na prihajajoči vrh 2006, obravnavajo rezultati srečanja gospodarskih ministrov EU-ZDA novembra 2005.
In view of the upcoming 2006 Summit, the third part deals with the results of the EU -US Economic Ministerial of November 2005.
To zajema 11 področij skupnega delovnega programa EU-ZDA za pospeševanje čezatlantskega gospodarskega povezovanja.
It covers the 11 areas of the Joint EU-US Work programme to move forward transatlantic economic integration.
Tukaj imajo še posebno težo prispevki drugih odborov.
Contributions from other committees are particularly relevant here.
Drugi del tega poglavja je namenjen vprašanjem, ki presegajo delovni program, vendar kljub temu zahtevajo posebno pozornost (t.j. reševanje sporov v okviru STO ali razvojna agenda iz Dohe).
The second part of this section deals with issues that go beyond the Work Programme but do require specific attention (i.e WTO Dispute Settlement or the DDA).
Zadnje, a nikakor ne najmanj pomembno četrto poglavje, je posvečeno vlogi Evropskega parlamenta.
Last but not least, the fourth and last part of the report is devoted to the role of the European Parliament.
Medtem ko je bilo veliko napisanega in povedanega o čezatlantski delitvi, je bilo le malo analiz ali priznanj namenjenih stopnji čezatlantske gospodarske povezanosti in soodvisnosti.
While much has been written and said about the transatlantic divide, there has been little analysis or recognition of the degree of transatlantic economic integration and interdependence.
Trgovina med dvema velikima trgoma je dosegla najvišjo raven v zgodovini, Združene države in Evropska unija pa sta eden za drugega postala daleč najpomembnejši trgovinski partner, pri čemer so zgolj trgovinski odnosi vredni milijardo EUR dnevno.
Trade between the two great markets has reached unprecedented levels, making the United States and the European Union each other's main trading partner by far, with a trade relationship alone that is worth a billion Euros a day.
Medsebojne neposredne tuje naložbe (najgloblja oblika čezmejnega povezovanja) preko Atlantika sedaj presegajo 1,5 bilijona EUR in so se znatno povečale, tudi v času, ko so se razplamtela politična nesoglasja glede Iraka: več kot polovica tujih neposrednih naložb iz EU je namenjenih v ZDA, medtem ko skoraj dve tretjini neposrednih tujih naložb v EU prihaja iz ZDA.
Mutual Foreign direct investment (the deepest form of cross-border integration) across the Atlantic now amounts to over € 1.5 trillion and has grown considerably, even as political dissent flared over Iraq: over half the EU's foreign direct investment goes to the US, while almost two thirds of foreign investment inflow into the EU comes from the US.
Dobički podružnic
Affiliate profits
Dejavnosti podružnic podjetij iz EU na trgu ZDA in dejavnosti podružnic podjetij iz ZDA na trgu EU so tudi dosegle rekordne rezultate v smislu čezatlantskih dobičkov, ki se merijo po prihodkih podružnic v tujini v zadnjih letih: tuje podružnice podjetij iz ZDA v Evropi so zabeležile rekordne dobičke (101 milijard USD v Evropi v letu 2004), prihodki podružnic evropskih podjetij v ZDA pa so navkljub močnemu evru močno porasli na rekordnih 66 milijard USD v letu 2004 ter znatno presegli prihodke iz leta 2003, ki so bili ravno tako rekordni in so znašali 47 milijard USD.
The activities of European and US foreign affiliates in each others' market have also witnessed record figures for transatlantic profits as measured by foreign affiliate income over the last years: U.S. foreign affiliates in Europe benefited from record profits ($101 billion in Europe in 2004) and, despite the strength of the Euro, European affiliate earnings in the US surged to a record $66 billion in 2004, well over the record earnings of $47 billion in 2003.
Vsi ti zneski razkrivajo, v kakšni meri sta gospodarstvi EU in ZDA soodvisni za doseganje rasti in zaposlovanja.
All these numbers show revealingly to which extent US and European economies are interdependent for growth and employment.
OECD je v nedavni študiji
A recent OECD study
OECD Economics Department: Working Paper "The Benefits Of Liberalising Product Markets And Reducing Barriers To International Trade and Investment: The Case of The United States and the European Union".
OECD Economics Department: Working Paper "The Benefits Of Liberalising Product Markets And Reducing Barriers To International Trade and Investment : The Case of The United States and the European Union" .
Maj 2005. tega pojava prišel do sklepa, da bi lahko popolnoma integrirano čezatlantsko gospodarstvo, v katerem bi se odpravile vse preostale necarinske ovire, prispevalo do 3 % rasti BDP tako v ZDA kot v Evropi.
May 2005 of this phenomenon concluded that a fully integrated transatlantic economy, eliminating all of the remaining non-tariff barriers could yield GDP growth of up to 3 %, both in the US and in Europe.
Gospodarske vezi EU-ZDA se odražajo v velikem obsegu zaposlovanja, saj že sedaj čezatlantsko gospodarstvo na vsaki strani zagotavlja skoraj 7 milijonov delovnih mest, ki zato ostajajo odvisna od njegove širitve in izboljšanega delovanja.
EU-US economic ties translate into a substantial volume of employment since close to 7 million jobs on either side are already provided by the transatlantic economy and therefore remain dependent on its improved functioning and expansion.
Glede na navedena dejstva in številke, poročevalec predlaga dva poglavitna sklepa: prvič, zaradi preostalih trgovinskih ovir ostajajo neizkoriščene velike možnosti za rast in zaposlovanje na čezatlantskem trgu in drugič, teh odnosov se ne sme jemati za samoumevne in jih obravnavati z neškodljivim zanemarjanjem namesto s potrebno stopnjo politične zavzetosti in pozornost.
In view of these facts and figures, the rapporteur puts forward two main conclusions: first, there is a sizeable potential for growth and employment in the Transatlantic market that lies untapped due to remaining barriers, and second, this unique relationship should not been taken for granted, treating it with benign neglect rather than the required degree of political engagement and attention.
Pot naprej: močnejše čezatlantsko gospodarsko partnerstvo
The Way Ahead: Stronger Transatlantic Economic Partnership
Potemtakem je glede na navedena dejstva in številke ključno vprašanje, kam peljati odnose med EU in ZDA.
The key question, then, in view of these facts and figures is where to take the EU-US relationship.
Ohranjanje dosedanjega stanja ni pravi odgovor.
The status-quo is not the answer.
Kot je poudarila resolucija Evropskega parlamenta o zagotovitvi uspeha prihodnjega vrha EU-ZDA v Washingtonu, ki je bila sprejeta 9. junija 2005, ohranjanje dosedanjega stanja ne zadostuje: „za Novo čezatlantsko agendo iz 1995 napočil čas, ko jo je treba nujno revidirati, da se upoštevajo trenutne razmere in nadalje poglobijo čezatlantski odnosi ob jasni predpostavki, da sodelovanje posameznim partnerjem prinese več koristi, kot če bi delovali v različnih ali celo nasprotnih smereh“.
As underlined by the European Parliament resolution on ensuring the success of the forthcoming EU-US Summit in Washington DC - adopted on 9 June 2005- the status-quo is not sufficient: "the moment has therefore arrived for the New Transatlantic Agenda of 1995 to be urgently revised in order to take account of current realities and further deepen transatlantic relations on the clear assumption that working together brings more benefits to each partner than working in different, or indeed opposing, directions".
Poročevalec torej verjame, da novi izzivi–nova varnostna tveganja ter izkoriščanje geopolitičnih in gospodarskih priložnosti novega stoletja–zahtevajo obnovljeno čezatlantsko partnerstvo.
Indeed, the rapporteur believes that new challenges—new security risks and taking advantage of the geopolitical and economic opportunities of the new century—demand a renewed transatlantic partnership.
Zato je prišel čas, da oba partnerja pokažeta večje politično vodstvo in vizijo za opredelitev skupnega pomena strateškega poslanstva in organizacijskega cilja.
The moment has therefore arrived for greater political leadership and vision from both partners in order to define a common sense of strategic mission and organizational purpose.
Po tem, ko je odnose EU-ZDA desetletje urejala Nova čezatlantska agenda iz leta 1995, bi bilo treba pognati novo ambiciozno in sveže osredotočeno čezatlantsko partnerstvo, da bi odnosi z ZDA postali manj retorični in bolj zasnovani v smeri proizvajanja gospodarske rasti in ustvarjanja delovnih mest.
After a decade of EU-US relations governed by the 1995 New Transatlantic Agenda, a new ambitious and re-focused transatlantic partnership should be put into motion in order to make the relationship with the US less rhetorical and more programmed towards generating economic growth and job creation.
Uresničitev čezatlantskega trga bi bilo treba umestiti v strateški in izvedbeni koncept, ki lahko pridobi dovolj javne in politične podpore.
The reality of the transatlantic market should be put into an operational and strategic concept that can gather sufficient public and political support.
Zaradi tega poročevalec priporoča, da se EU in ZDA do naslednjega vrha v letu 2006 dogovorita o posodobitvi Nove čezatlantske agende iz leta 1995 in čezatlantskega gospodarskega partnerstva, kar bi pripeljalo do vzpostavitve „čezatlantskega trga brez ovir“ do leta 2015 s pospešenim ciljnim rokom do leta 2010 za finančne storitve in kapitalske trge.
That is why the rapporteur recommends that by the next 2006 summit the EU and the US agree to update the New Transatlantic Agenda (NTA) of 1995 and the Transatlantic Economic Partnership (TEP) that leads to the achievement of a "barrier-free transatlantic market" by 2015 with a 2010 accelerated target date for financial services and capital markets.
Poročevalec verjame, da bi moralo poglavje o gospodarstvo v takšnem novem sporazumu o partnerstvu zagotavljati novo zasnovo, ki temelji na treh poglavitnih stebrih: 1) regulativnem sodelovanju; 2) nizu izvedbenih orodij za sodelovanje, ki so horizontalnega značaja in vključujejo učinkovit sistem zgodnjega opozarjanja, dvostranski mehanizem za poravnavo trgovinskih sporov in sporazum tretje generacije o uporabi konkurenčnega prava, ter 3) sektorskih sporazumih o gospodarskem sodelovanju, ki temeljijo na skupnem delovnem programu EU-ZDA.
The rapporteur believes that the economic chapter of such new partnership agreement should provide for a new architecture based on three main pillars: 1) Regulatory co-operation; 2) A set of operational co-operation tools of an horizontal character, including an effective early warning system, a bilateral mechanism for the settlement of trade disputes and a third-generation agreement on the application of Competition Law, and 3) Sectoral economic co-operation agreements building on the Joint EU- US Work Programme.
To novo gospodarsko poglavje v predlaganem sporazumu o partnerstvu bi moralo v skladu z gospodarsko pobudo zagotavljati poseben program za odpravljanje necarinskih ovir na ključnih trgih, predvsem preko procesa postopne regulativne uskladitve in vzajemnega priznavanja pravil in standardov.
This new economic chapter of the proposed partnership agreement should provide, in line with the Economic Initiative, a specific programme for the removal of non-tariff barriers in key markets, mainly through a process of gradual regulatory alignment and mutual recognition of rules and standards.
Vrh v Washingtonu junija 2005 je začel s „pobudo za pospeševanje čezatlantskih gospodarskih povezav in rasti“, ki določa širše zastavljeno agendo za poglabljanje gospodarskih odnosov.
The "Initiative to Enhance Transatlantic Economic Integration and Growth", which was launched at the June 2005 Summit in Washington, DC outlines an ambitious agenda for deepening economic relations.
Najpomembnejši korak po vrhu je bilo prvo srečanje gospodarskih ministrov EU-ZDA, 30. novembra v Bruslju, na katerem so bile sprejete tri pomembne odločitve:
The most important step since the Summit was the first ever EU-US economic ministerial, held in Brussels on 30 November, and which adopted three important decisions:
- Skupni delovni program za izvrševanje gospodarske pobude z vrha EU-ZDA 2005 .
- The joint work programme to implement the Economic Initiative of the 2005 EU-US Summit.
- Začetek strategije sodelovanja pri uveljavljanju pravic intelektualne lastnine (IPR), o kateri naj bi bil dogovor dosežen do vrha 2006, in oblikovanje delovne skupine za IPR.
- The launching of an IPR enforcement cooperation strategy to be agreed by the 2006 Summit and the creation of an IPR working group.
- Ustanovitev foruma na visoki ravni za regulativno sodelovanje, ki v prvi polovici 2006 pripravi dve srečanji.
- The establishment of the high-level Regulatory Cooperation Forum with two events in the first half of 2006.
Skupni delovni program EU-ZDA vsebuje konkretne dejavnosti na 11 področjih za napredek čezatlantskega gospodarskega povezovanja.
The joint EU-US Work Programme contains concrete activities in 11 areas to move forward the transatlantic economic integration.
To poročilo izpostavlja 11 področij, glede številni med njimi postavlja posebne zahteve in v skladu s prejšnjim poglavjem poziva oba partnerja, naj se posvetita bolj širokopoteznim in bolj usmerjenim procesom, dolgoročnim strateškim ciljem in podrobnim časovnim načrtom za izvrševanje skupnih ukrepov in projektov.
This report highlights the 11 areas, makes specific demands on several of them and calls, in line with the previous section, upon both partners to engage in a more ambitious process with a greater sense of direction, long term strategic objectives and a detailed timetable for the implementation of joint actions and projects.
Poročevalec verjame, da je pri tem procesu bistvenega pomena upoštevanje posebne vloge zakonodajalcev in neodvisnih regulativnih agencij, ki zakonodajo preoblikujejo v reguliranje, to izvršujejo in nadzorujejo, kako se ga spoštuje.
The rapporteur believes that it is vital that this process takes into account the specific role of legislators and independent regulatory agencies, which convert legislation into regulation, implement the regulations, and supervise compliance.
Agencije, kakršna je Uprava za hrano in zdravila (FDA) ali SEC, niso podrejene prednostnim nalogam izvršne veje oblasti, temveč jim njihov mandat podeljujejo zakonodajalci.
Agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the SEC are not answerable to the priorities of the executive branch, but rather receive their mandate from legislators.
Razlike so neločljiv del partnerstev
Differences are inherent in partnerships
Razlike ter trgovinski ali gospodarski spori so naraven sestavni del širokega in poglobljenega čezatlantskega partnerstva, kar ne preseneča.
Unsurprisingly, differences and trade or economic disputes are a natural component of the broad and deep transatlantic partnership.
Pri tem je ključno učenje, kako ustrezno upravljati z razlikami in tako preprečevati, da bi majhni ali celo veliki spori posegali v širšo čezatlantsko agendo, ne pa, da se jih poskuša povsem obiti.
The key lies in not trying to avoid differences altogether but in learning to manage them properly, not allowing small or even big conflicts to interfere with the broader transatlantic agenda.
Navsezadnje, četudi lahko preiskave pred odbori STO povzročijo znatna politična trenja, trgovinski ali gospodarski spori zadevajo manj kot 2 % menjave.
After all, although WTO panels can provoke considerable political friction, trade or economic disputes, concern less than 2 % of exchanges.
Reševanja sporov
Dispute settlement
Poročevalec poudarja tudi, da se vedno večje število trgovinskih sporov nanaša na zdravstvene, okoljske ali varnostne zadeve.
The rapporteur also stresses that an increasing number of trade disputes relate to health, environmental or safety concerns.
Nekatere od teh razlik so globoko zakoreninjene v izrazitih kolektivnih izbirah in kulturnih posebnostih, ki so se razvile v več kot dveh stoletjih in jih je nemogoče odpraviti z dekretom.
Some of these differences are in fact deeply rooted in distinct collective preferences and cultural peculiarities which have developed over two centuries and are unlikely to be eliminated by decree.
Medtem ko morata tako EU kot ZDA zagotavljati nediskriminatornost, sorazmernost in znanstveno utemeljenost takšnih ureditev, da bi preprečili protekcionistične zlorabe, morata obe strani priznati, da imajo vlade legitimno pravico zaščititi zdravje in okolje svojih državljanov.
While both the EU and the US have to ensure that such regulations are non-discriminatory, proportionate and science-based to prevent protectionist abuses, both sides must recognise that governments have a legitimate right to protect the health and environment of their citizens.
