V regiji je zato potrebna pomembnejša vloga Unije pri vzpostavljanju stabilnosti v srednjeameriških državah, demokratičnih institucij ter zaščiti temeljnih človekovih pravic, s čimer bi zagotovili, da bo nova politika Evropske komisije o proračunski pomoči namenjena neposredno za harmonizacijo pomoči različnim državam za doseganje razvojnih ciljev tisočletja in je države ne uporabljajo zgolj kot instrument politične legitimacije v državah.
The region needs the EU to play a more leading role in the political stability of Central American countries, democratic institutions and the protection of fundamental rights, as ways of ensuring that the new Commission budgetary support policy contributes directly towards harmonising aid to the various countries with the Millennium Development Goals and does not just serve the countries as an instrument of political legitimacy.
Zato morajo boj proti nekaznovanosti in korupciji ter programi in ukrepi za krepitev demokratičnih institucij igrati ključno vlogo v politiki Unije na področju razvojnega sodelovanja.
Specifically, combating impunity and corruption and the programmes and measures intended to strengthen democratic institutions must in this respect play a key role in development cooperation by the EU.

PROPOSAL FOR A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL ( B6-0417/2006 )
ki ga vlaga Willy Meyer Pleite
by Willy Meyer Pleite
o pogajalskih smernicah za sklenitev pridružitvenega sporazuma med Evropsko unijo in Srednjo Ameriko
on the guidelines for the negotiation of an Association Agreement between the European Union and Central America
– ob upoštevanju odstavka 31 dunajske deklaracije, ki navaja sklep o začetku pogajanj o pridružitvenem sporazumu in vzpostavitvi območja proste trgovine, ki sta ga Evropska unija in Srednja Amerika sprejeli na 4. vrhu EU-LAK,
– having regard to paragraph 31 of the Vienna Declaration, which contains the decision taken by the European Union and Central America at the Fourth EU-LAC Summit to open negotiations on an Association Agreement, including the establishment of a free-trade area,
– ob upoštevanju naslova V Pogodbe o Evropski uniji,
– having regard to Title V of the Treaty on European Union.
– ob upoštevanju člena 114(1) Poslovnika v zvezi s členom 83 tega dokumenta,
– having regard to Rule 114(1), in conjunction with Rule 85, of its Rules of Procedure,
A. ker morajo biti spoštovanje demokracije, pravne države in neovirano uveljavljanje človekovih pravic za vse, vključno s pravicami in temeljnimi svoboščinami avtohtonih ljudstev, ter zaščita zagovornikov človekovih pravic in odprava nekaznovanosti osnovni pogoji za razvoj partnerstva, kot je bilo sklenjeno na Dunaju,
A. whereas the establishment of democracy and constitutional government, the full enjoyment of human rights by all individuals (including the rights and the fundamental freedoms of indigenous peoples), the protection of those who uphold human rights and the elimination of impunity must constitute basic conditions for the development of the Association between the parties, as was decided in Vienna;
B. ker je treba pogajalske smernice za prihodnji sporazum prilagoditi želji strank, izraženi v odstavku 31 dunajske deklaracije, da skleneta celovit pridružitveni sporazum, ki bo potrdil prepričanje, da Srednja Amerika ni zanimiva le zaradi proste trgovine in da Evropska unija ne predlaga pogajanj o sporazumu izključno trgovinske narave, kot je srednjeameriški sporazum o prosti trgovini (CAFTA), ampak želi vzpostaviti politično in gospodarsko partnerstvo s to regijo in njenimi državami, ki bo upoštevalo asimetričnost ter razlike med regijama in med različnimi srednjeameriškimi državami ter vključevalo bistvene odločbe o razvojnem sodelovanju,
B. whereas the guidelines for the negotiation of the future Agreement must accord with the parties’ wish (as expressed in paragraph 31 of the Vienna Declaration) to conclude a comprehensive Association Agreement - in other words, one which restates the firm belief that Central America is much more than free trade and that the European Union is proposing not to negotiate a purely commercial agreement similar to the CAFTA but, rather, to establish a political and economic partnership with the region and its constituent countries which takes into account the asymmetry and the inequalities between the two regions and amongst the various Central American countries, and which therefore includes key provisions on cooperation and development;
C. ker je v pogajalskih smernicah za prihodnji sporazum treba upoštevati resen politični, gospodarski in socialni primanjkljaj večine srednjeameriških držav, razlike v razvitosti med regijama ter značilnosti gospodarskih odnosov v Srednji Ameriki (koncentracijo trgovine v nekaterih državah regije, veliko odvisnost od izvoza tradicionalnih proizvodov, nizko stopnjo neposrednih tujih investicij Evropske unije v regiji itd.),
C. whereas the guidelines for the negotiation of the future Agreement must ignore neither the serious social, economic and political deficit which exists in most Central American countries, nor the differences in development between the two regions, nor the nature of economic relations in Central America: regional trade concentrated on a small number of countries, a high level of dependence on exports of traditional products and low levels of EU FDI in the region, and so on;
a) pogajalski mandat naj neposredno zajema pravno podlago, na osnovi katere bodo potekala pogajanja o novem pridružitvenem sporazumu, ki mora vključevati člen 310 Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti v zvezi s prvim stavkom prve alineje člena 300(2) in drugo alinejo člena 300(3),
(a) that the negotiating mandate should expressly include the legal base upon which the new Association Agreement is to be negotiated; that base should be Article 310 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, in conjunction with the first sentence of the first paragraph of Article 300(2) and the second paragraph of Article 300(3);
b) pogajalske smernice naj predvidijo mehanizme, ki bodo zagotovili popolno skladnost določb prihodnjega sporazuma z mandatom pogodbe o EU, v skladu s katero so temeljni cilji skupne zunanje in varnostne politike spodbujanje mednarodnega sodelovanja, razvoj in utrjevanje demokracije in pravne države ter spoštovanje človekovih pravic,
(b) that the negotiating guidelines should contain provision for the mechanisms required to ensure that the terms of the future Agreement are in perfect accordance with the EU Treaty mandate, pursuant to which the promotion of international cooperation, the development and consolidation of democracy and constitutional government and the upholding of human rights are basic CFSP objectives;
c) pogajalske smernice naj vključujejo navodila, kako na najboljši način tesno sodelovati, da bi spodbujali dejanski multilateralizem ter okrepili zmožnosti za ohranjanje in utrditev miru v Združenih narodih, in kako se skupaj na mednarodni ravni soočiti z grožnjami miru in varnosti, vključno s širjenjem orožja za množično uničevanje in terorizmom, kot je bilo sklenjeno na Dunaju,
(c) that the negotiating guidelines should include guidance concerning the best way of cooperating closely and jointly in order to promote effective multilateralism and increase the UN’s ability to maintain and consolidate peace, and of jointly addressing the threats to peace and security (including the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism) within a multilateral framework, as was decided in Vienna;
d) pogajalske smernice naj predvidijo postopen dostop srednjeameriških proizvodov do evropskih trgov, v pogojih poštene konkurence, s čimer se bo preprečilo, da bi se s sporazumom obstoječe neenakosti še povečale; omenjene smernice naj torej predvidijo posebno, diferencirano in prilagodljivo obravnavo pri določanju rokov, na podlagi obveznosti in izboljšanja konkurenčnosti srednjeameriških držav, s pomočjo ukrepov za podporo Evropske unije, kot so prenos tehnologije, vključitev nacionalnih zahtev v predpise o poreklu, vzpostavitev programov sodelovanja in tehnične pomoči,
(d) that the negotiating guidelines should provide for progressive access to European markets for Central American products under competitive terms and conditions, so as to prevent the Agreement from aggravating existing asymmetries; that the guidelines should therefore provide for special, variable and flexible treatment as regards the timetable to be established, on the basis of the commitments and the improvements in the competitiveness achieved by the Central American countries as a result of EU support measures such as technology transfer, the inclusion of requirements for home-country content in rules on origin, and the drawing up of cooperation and technical-assistance programmes;
e) da ne bi bila vključitev klavzule o demokratičnosti ali drugih klavzul socialne ali okoljske narave le izraz dobrih namenov, naj bodo v pogajalskih smernicah neposredno navedeni konkretni mehanizmi, ki bodo zagotovili njihovo izvedljivost in v katerih bo posebej predvideno letno poročilo o spremljanju, ki ga bo za Evropski parlament pripravila Komisija,
(e) that in order to ensure that the inclusion in the Association Agreement of the democracy clause or other social or environmental clauses is more than just an expression of good intentions, the new negotiating directives should refer specifically to the practical means which will enable such clauses to be invoked and should provide in particular for an annual report to be submitted to the European Parliament on the Commission’s monitoring activities in this area;
f) treba je posebej navesti strukturirano sodelovanje civilne družbe v novem političnem dialogu in v ta namen predlagati, da bi v EU in Srednji Ameriki redno organizirali konference, na katerih bi sodelovali predstavniki civilne družbe, katerim bi dodelili status opazovalcev na ministrskih srečanjih in jim omogočili aktivno sodelovanje na forumih ter na srečanjih ustreznih sektorskih odborov in pododborov med celotno razpravo, pogajanji in pri spremljanju celotnega postopka,
(f) that specific references should be included to the structured involvement of civil society in the new political dialogue through the holding of periodic conferences with representatives of civil society in both the EU and Central America, the granting to those representatives of observer status at interministerial meetings and the taking of action to facilitate the representatives’ active involvement in appropriate sectoral forums, committees and subcommittees at all stages in the discussion, negotiation and monitoring of the process;
g) Komisija naj izčrpno in po potrebi zaupno obvešča Parlament o svojih priporočilih v zvezi s pogajalskim mandatom;
(g) that the Commission should provide Parliament with exhaustive (and if necessary confidential) information concerning its recommendations as regards the negotiating mandate;
o pogajalskem mandatu za pridružitveni sporazum med Evropsko unijo in njenimi državami članicami na eni strani ter državami Srednje Amerike na drugi
on the negotiating mandate for an Association Agreement between the European Union and its Member States on the one part and Central American countries on the other part
A. ker lahko regionalno povezovanje ter dvoregionalna trgovina in vlaganja glede na konkurenčne pritiske globalizacije spodbujata gospodarsko rast, razvoj in zaposlovanje ter s tem učinkovito prispevata k vključevanju držav v razvoju v svetovno gospodarstvo,
A whereas, against the backdrop of the competitive pressures of globalisation, regional integration and bi-regional trade and investment can stimulate economic growth, development and employment, effectively contributing to the integration of the developing countries into the world economy,
B. ker EU in države Srednje Amerike, za razliko od srednjeameriškega sporazuma o prosti trgovini, ki so ga sklenile države Srednje Amerike in ZDA, predlagajo ustanovitev globalne strateške zveze, ki bi presegala strogo komercialne vidike ter vključevala obsežno sodelovanje in politični dialog,
B. whereas, unlike the CAFTA negotiated bilaterally between the US and the Central America countries, the EU and Central America (CA) are proposing to form a global strategic association that goes beyond strictly commercial aspects to include wide-ranging cooperation and political dialogue,
C. ker zaključek in uspešno izvajanje pridružitvenih sporazumov med EU in Mehiko ter EU in Čilom opozarjata na strateško pomembnost ter gospodarsko, politično in družbeno korist dvoregionalnih odnosov med EU in Latinsko Ameriko, temelječih na pridružitvenih sporazumih, ki vključujejo območja proste trgovine,
C. whereas the conclusion and the successful implementation of the association agreements between the EU and Mexico and the EU and Chile highlight the strategic importance of, and the economic, political, and social interests involved in, bi-regional relations between the EU and Latin America under association agreements providing for free trade areas,
D. ker je pridružitveni sporazum med EU in Srednjo Ameriko ključni element za napredek v regionalni integraciji in ker so temelji takšnega sporazuma kulturne in zgodovinske vezi ter medsebojna zavezanost k spodbujanju in krepitvi skupnih vrednost kot je spoštovanje človekovih pravic, demokracije, gospodarske in socialne kohezije, mir in stabilnost.
D. whereas the advent of an EU-CA Association Agreement is a key element of progress in bi-regional integration, and whereas the foundations of such an agreement are the special cultural and historical ties and the mutual commitment to promoting and strengthening shared values such as respect for human rights, democracy, economic and social cohesion, peace, and stability,
E. ker mora prihodnji pridružitveni sporazum med EU in državami Srednje Amerike pomagati pri spodbujanju gospodarske rasti in zmanjševanju revščine ter skušati doseči razvojne cilje tisočletja, še posebej tiste povezane z zmanjševanjem revščine, s pravično in nepristransko porazdelitvijo bogastva, z ustvarjanjem novih stabilnih delovnih mest na podlagi kakovostne zaposlitve ter s socialnim vključevanjem skupin z roba družbe.
E. whereas the future Association Agreement between the EU and the Central American countries must help to boost economic growth and reduce poverty, and seek to attain the Millennium Development Goals, especially those linked to poverty reduction, fair and equitable redistribution of wealth, the creation of stable jobs based on high-quality employment, and the social inclusion of marginalised groups,
F. ker bi se morali EU in Srednja Amerika v okviru pridružitvenega sporazuma in širšega svetovno političnega okvira sporazumeti za spodbujanje mednarodnih in večstranskih standardov na trgovinskem, socialnem in okoljskem področju,
F. whereas the EU and CA should, in the framework of the Association Agreement and the wider framework of world governance, agree to promote international and multilateral standards on commercial, social and environmental issues,
G. ker je gospodarstva držav Srednje Amerike večinoma odvisna od kmetijskega sektorja in ker bi moral zato pridružitveni sporazum upoštevati znaten družbeno gospodarski vpliv določb, povezanih s kmetijstvom tako v smislu podpore za gospodarski razvoj Srednje Amerike kot v smislu izdelkov iz EU,
G. whereas the Central American economies depend greatly on the agricultural sector and whereas the Association Agreement should therefore take into consideration the considerable socio-economic impact of its agricultural provisions both in terms of support for CA’s economic development and as regards EU products,
H. ker bi bilo območje proste trgovine z EU pomembno za utrditev srednjeameriškega enotnega trga, carinske unije in celotnega območja v postopku integracije,
H. whereas a Free Trade Area (FTA) with the EU would be important for the consolidation of CA as a common market, a customs union, and an area undergoing a comprehensive integration process,
I. ker zgolj območje proste trgovine med EU in Srednjo Ameriko brez potrebne podpore za razvoj, še posebej malih in srednje velikih podjetij, ne bo služilo za spodbuditev gospodarske rasti,
I. whereas an EU-CA Free Trade Area on its own will not serve to generate economic growth if it is not complemented with the necessary support for development, especially of small and medium-sized enterprises, enabling every opportunity to be seized,
J. ker je treba pozdraviti odločitev EU in držav Srednje Amerike na četrtem srečanju EU in držav Latinske Amerike na Dunaju 12. maja 2006, da s pogajanji za pridružitveni sporazum, kar vključuje oblikovanje območja proste trgovine, začneta na podlagi skupnih strateških ciljev izjave iz Guadalajare in ob upoštevanju ugodnih rezultatov skupnega ocenjevanja regionalne gospodarske integracije, ki je bilo izvedeno v sodelovanju s Srednjo Ameriko;
J. whereas it is to be welcomed that the EU and CA decided at the fourth EU-Latin American Countries Vienna Summit of 12 May 2006 to launch negotiations for an Association Agreement, including the establishment of a Free Trade Area, on the basis of the common strategic objectives of the Guadalajara Declaration and taking into account the positive outcome of the joint assessment exercise on regional economic integration carried out with CA;
K. ker je EU največji donator razvojne pomoči Srednji Ameriki in edina, ki je pripravila strategijo za sodelovanje, namenjeno krepitvi regionalne integracije,
K. whereas the EU is the largest donor of development aid to CA and the only one to have laid down a cooperation strategy aimed at strengthening regional integration,
naslavlja na Svet naslednja priporočila glede smernic za pogajanja o območju proste trgovine med Evropsko skupnostjo in državami Srednje Amerike v okviru predvidenega pridružitvenega sporazuma:
Addresses to the Council the following recommendations concerning the directives for the negotiation, within the framework of the prospective Association Agreement, of a Free Trade Area between the European Community and the countries of Central America :
Glede pogajanj o območju proste trgovine s Srednjo Ameriko
As regards the negotiation of a FTA with Central America
1. območje proste trgovine EU in Srednje Amerike naj se obravnava kot prednostni strateški cilj za zunanje odnose EU v mednarodnem okolju, ki ga označujejo vse večja soodvisnost, gospodarska rast, nastajanje novih gospodarskih sil, širitev dvostranskih trgovinskih sporazumov ZDA, vključno s srednjeameriškim sporazumom o prosti trgovini, in vrsta svetovnih izzivov, ki presegajo nacionalne meje;
1. to regard an EU-CA FTA as a priority strategic objective for the EU’s external relations in an international context characterised by increased interdependence, economic growth, the emergence of new economic powers, the expansion of US bilateral trade agreements, including CAFTA, and a series of global challenges which transcend national borders;
2. upošteva naj se dejstvo, da je GSP, vključno z GSP plus, neodvisen sistem EU, ki države Srednje Amerike podpira glede na stopnjo njihove razvitosti;
2. to take into account the fact that GSP, including GSP Plus, is an autonomous EU regime benefiting the CA countries on the basis of their levels of development;
3. sklene naj se celosten in uravnotežen pridružitveni sporazum s Srednjo Ameriko, ki bo temeljil na treh stebrih: političnem in institucionalnem poglavju za krepitev demokratičnega dialoga in političnega sodelovanja, poglavju o sodelovanju za pospeševanje trajnostnega gospodarskega in družbenega razvoja in poglavju, posvečenemu trgovini, s katerim bo ustanovljeno napredno območje proste trgovine s široko agendo, ki bo poleg postopne in vzajemne liberalizacije trgovine z blagom in storitvami vključevalo tudi vlaganja, javna naročila, zaščito pravic intelektualne lastnine, sodelovanje na področju konkurenčnosti in instrumente trgovinske zaščite, olajševanje trgovine ter učinkovit mehanizem za reševanje sporov;
3. to conclude a comprehensive and balanced Association Agreement with CA based on three pillars: a political and institutional chapter reinforcing democratic dialogue and political cooperation, a cooperation chapter promoting sustainable economic and social development, and a trade chapter establishing an advanced FTA with a broad agenda including, in addition to the gradual and reciprocal liberalisation of trade in goods and services, investment, public procurement, the protection of intellectual property rights, cooperation regarding competition and trade defence instruments, trade facilitation and an effective dispute settlement mechanism;
5. zahteva naj se, da Svet in Komisija zagotovita vključujoč, učinkovit in pregleden pogajalski proces, ki že od začetka lahko računa na čim širšo vključenost vseh interesnih skupin, še posebej socialnih partnerjev in civilne družbe v vseh vpletenih državah,
5. to request that both the Council and the Commission ensure a negotiation process that is inclusive, effective and transparent and can count from the beginning on the broadest participation of stakeholders, in particular the social partners and civil society in all countries concerned;
6. zaveže naj se ustanovitvi območja proste trgovine ob popolnem spoštovanju novega mehanizma preglednosti STO ter pravic in dolžnosti, ki izhajajo iz STO, zlasti iz člena XXIV splošnega sporazuma o carinah in trgovini ter člena V splošnega sporazuma o trgovini s storitvami, kar bi prispevalo k okrepitvi večstranskega trgovinskega sistema;
6. to commit to the establishment of an FTA in full compliance with the new WTO Transparency Mechanism and the rights and obligations arising out of the WTO, particularly Article XXIV of GATT and Article V of GATS, thus contributing to the strengthening of the multilateral trading system;
7. izpogaja naj se enoten in nedeljiv trgovinski sporazum, ki bo presegel sedanje in prihodnje obveznosti pogajalskih strank v STO in bo v prehodnem obdobju, v skladu z zahtevami STO, vzpostavil območje proste trgovine, ter bo, ne da bi izključeval katerega od sektorjev, upošteval razvojno razsežnost in posebno občutljivost nekaterih proizvodov na način, ki bo čim manj omejevalen;
7. to negotiate a single and indivisible trade agreement which goes beyond the negotiating parties’ present and future WTO obligations and establishes over a transition period compatible with WTO requirements a FTA and which, without excluding any sector, takes account, in the least restrictive fashion possible, of the development dimension and the specific sensitivity of certain products;
8. načela „nesomernosti ravni razvoja”, „posebne in diferencirane obravnave” ter „ne povsem popolne recipročnosti” naj se dejansko priznajo in naj se torej zagotovi, da bodo ugodnosti na območju proste trgovine usklajene s stopnjo razvoja in sektorsko konkurenčnostjo obeh regij;
8. to effectively recognise the principles of "asymmetry in the levels of development", "special and differential treatment" and "less than full reciprocity" and, therefore, to ensure that the FTA balances the concessions in accordance with the levels of development and sectoral competitiveness of the two regions;
Klavzula o človekovih pravicah in demokraciji
Human Rights and Democracy Clause
9. vključi naj se standardno klavzulo o spoštovanju splošnega cilja razvoja ter krepitve demokracije in pravne države ter spoštovanja človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin; v zvezi s tem naj pripravi posebne ukrepe na področju socialnih in državljanskih pravic ter specifične izvedbene ukrepe za izvajanje demokratične klavzule v skladu s posebnim spodbujevalnim dogovorom iz sheme GSP plus, kot je zapisano v Uredbi Sveta (ES) št. 980/2005 z dne 27. junija 2005 o uporabi sheme splošnih tarifnih preferencialov
9. to include the standard clause on the respect for the general objective of developing and consolidating democracy and the rule of law and on respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; to provide, in this regard, for specific measures in the area of social and civil rights and for specific implementation arrangements for the democratic clause along the lines of the GSP Plus ‘special incentive arrangement’ as laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 of 27 June 2005 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences
