Število njegovega prebivalstva je podobno EU, vendar so znotraj združenja velike razlike glede prihodka na prebivalca, in sicer od Singapurja z BDP na prebivalca, ki je primerljiv s Francijo in Združenim kraljestvom, do treh najmanj razvitih držav, Mjanmara, Kambodže in Laosa.
Its population is similar to that of the EU but there is a wide variation in income per head, ranging from Singapore, with a GDP per head comparable to that of France or the UK, to three Least Developed Countries (LDCs), namely Burma, Cambodia and Laos.
Združenje ASEAN je podpisalo sporazum o prosti trgovini s Korejo ter se o tem pogaja z regionalnimi partnerji, vključno z Avstralijo, Kitajsko, Indijo, Japonsko in Novo Zelandijo, medtem ko so posamezne države sklenile te sporazume z drugimi vodilnimi trgovinskimi partnerji ali se o njih še pogajajo.
ASEAN has signed an FTA with Korea and is in negotiations with regional partners including Australia, China, India, Japan and New Zealand, while individual countries have concluded or are negotiating such agreements with other leading trading nations.
To poročilo podpira koncept sporazuma o prosti trgovini z združenjem ASEAN, če ta sporazum izpolnjuje nekatere ključne pogoje.
This report supports the concept of an FTA with ASEAN provided that the agreement meets certain key conditions.
V skladu s standardnim stališčem Parlamenta mora biti sporazum o partnerstvu in sodelovanju predpogoj za sklenitev trgovinskega sporazuma s katero koli državo.
In line with the standard position of the Parliament, a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) should be a precondition for concluding a trade agreement with any country.
Prav tako mora biti možna začasna ukinitev preferencialnih tarif, odobrenih v okviru sporazuma o prosti trgovini, kadar prihaja do stalnih kršitev temeljnih elementov sporazuma o partnerstvu in sodelovanju, zlasti klavzul o človekovih pravicah.
And it should be possible to suspend preferential tariffs granted under the FTA were there to be persistent breaches of core elements of the PCA and, in particular, the human rights clauses.
Vloga medregionalnih trgovinskih sporazumov
The role of inter-regional trade agreements
Pogajanje o sporazumu z regijo, ki jo sestavlja deset neodvisnih držav, je bolj zapleteno in traja dlje časa kot pogajanje o sporazumu z eno samo državo.
Negotiating an agreement with a region made up of ten independent countries is more complicated and time-consuming than an agreement with a single country.
Vendar medregionalni sporazumi hkrati ponujajo pomembne neničelne koristi, vključno s spodbujanjem regionalnega povezovanja, ki krepi gospodarstva partnerskih držav ter zmanjšuje raznolikost predpisov, ki jih morajo upoštevati podjetja EU.
Yet, at the same time, interregional agreements offer major, non-zero sum gains including from the promotion of regional integration, which strengthens partner countries' economies and reduces the variety of regulations with which EU companies have to comply.
Odločitev voditeljev združenja ASEAN v Singapurju dne 20. novembra 2007 za podpis listine združenja ASEAN, ki bo organizacijo preoblikovala v pravno osebo in ji dala strukturo, ki omogoča izboljšano usklajevanje in hitrejše izvajanje odločitev, je dobrodošla.
The ASEAN leaders' decision, in Singapore on 20 November 2007, to sign the ASEAN Charter, which will give the organisation legal personality and a structure allowing improved coordination and more rapid implementation of decisions, is welcome.
Ker listina začne veljati šele, ko jo ratificirajo vse države članice, je zaželena takojšnja ratifikacija.
As the Charter will not come into effect until after ratification by all member states, prompt ratification is desirable.
Vendar lahko, glede na poročila o nedavnih pogajalskih krogih, možnosti za zgodnji in ambiciozen sporazum z združenjem ASEAN ogrozijo pomanjkanje pogajalskih sposobnosti, težave pri oblikovanju skupnega stališča, ki odraža kolektivne interese regije, in pomanjkanje politične volje.
However, in the light of reports of recent negotiating rounds, the prospects for an early and ambitious agreement with ASEAN may be undermined by a lack of negotiating capacity, difficulties in developing a common position that reflects the collective interests of the region and a lack of political will.
Vietnam, ki je koordinator pri združenju ASEAN, je treba spodbujati, da prevzame dejavno vlogo pri oblikovanju takšnih stališč, medtem ko lahko EU ponudi pomoč pri izgradnji zmogljivosti.
Vietnam, as coordinator on the ASEAN side, should be encouraged to play an active role in developing such positions, while the EU could offer help with capacity building.
Treba je pozdraviti obljubo, ki je bila dana na novembrskem srečanju voditeljev EU in združenja ASEAN, da se pospeši tempo pogajanj proti roku leta 2009, če pomeni resnično spremembo tempa pogajanj.
The promise, at November's ASEAN-EU leaders' meeting, to speed up negotiations towards a 2009 deadline is to be welcomed if it means a real change in pace for the negotiations.
Sicer bo prišlo do neizogibnega pritiska, da se sklenejo najboljši dvostranski sporazumi o prosti trgovini z najbolj naprednimi članicami združenja ASEAN.
Otherwise there will be inevitable pressure to move to cherry-pick bilateral FTAs with ASEAN's most advanced members.
Težave z usklajevanjem niso le značilnost združenja ASEAN.
Coordination difficulties are not unique to ASEAN.
Vendar je v tem primeru položaj še težji zaradi članstva Mjanmara, za katerega veljajo sankcije EU.
However, in this case, the situation is made more difficult by the membership of Burma, a subject of EU sanctions.
Pritisk drugih držav članic ASEAN na mjanmarski režim, da izboljša grozljivo stanje na področju človekovih pravic ter si prizadeva za dogovor z zaprto Aung Sang Suu Kyi, ki bo obnovil demokracijo, je dobrodošel.
The pressure from other ASEAN member states on the Burmese regime to improve its appalling human rights record and to find a settlement with the imprisoned Aung Sang Suu Kyi that restores democracy is welcome.
Glede na sedanji vojaški režim je nepredstavljivo, da bi EU lahko sklenila sporazum o partnerstvu in sodelovanju z Mjanmarom.
It is inconceivable that, under the current military regime, the EU could conclude a PCA with Burma.
Ker je to pogoj za trgovski sporazum, tisti, ki si prizadevajo za zahtevo po soglasni podpori za vsak vidik možnega sporazuma ali sporazumov med EU in združenjem ASEAN, obsojajo ta sporazum na neuspeh.
This being a precondition for a trade agreement, those who seek to require unanimous support for every aspect of the potential EU-ASEAN agreement(s) are dooming the exercise to failure.
Prav tako je pomembno, da je združenje ASEAN že prej podpisovalo sporazume o prosti trgovini, ki niso zajemali vseh njenih članic, zlasti sporazum o prosti trgovini med združenjem ASEAN in Korejo, ki ni vključeval Tajske.
It is also significant that ASEAN has previously signed FTAs that did not cover all its members, specifically the 2006 ASEAN-Korea FTA which left out Thailand.
Če je mogoče izpolniti politične predpogoje, si je treba pri trgovinskih pogajanjih prizadevati za visoko raven ambicij, pri čemer se kakovost sporazuma ne žrtvuje iskanju hitrega dogovora.
If the political prerequisites can be satisfied, the trade negotiations should aim for a high level of ambition with the quality of the agreement not being sacrificed to in search of a quick deal.
Prizadevanje za sklenitev sporazuma prav tako se sme škodovati prizadevanjem za sklenitev razvojne agende iz Dohe, ki ostaja prednostna naloga in najboljša možnost za doseganje uravnoteženih ciljev, ki krepijo večstranski sistem trgovanja na podlagi pravil.
Nor should the quest for an agreement be at the expense of efforts to conclude the DDA, which remains the priority and offers the greatest hope of a balanced outcome enhancing the rules-based multilateral trading system.
Poleg tega je treba cilj sporazuma STO z združenjem ASEAN razumeti kot preseganje pravil STO ne le v smislu dostopa na trg, ampak tudi za izvajanje socialnih in okoljskih standardov.
In addition, the objective of a WTO+ agreement with ASEAN should be understood as going beyond WTO rules not only in terms of market access but also for implementing social and environmental standards.
V ta namen in za zagotovitev javne sprejemljivosti sporazuma bo postalo pomembno, da se prizna, da ostaja prosta trgovina sporna tema v številnih državah združenja ASEAN, čeprav neodvisne študije hkrati kažejo, da bodo imele vse strani koristi od sklenitve sporazuma o prosti trgovini.
To this end, and to ensure the public acceptability of the agreement, it will be important to recognise that, while independent studies indicate a 'win-win' scenario if an FTA is concluded, free trade remains a controversial topic in a number of ASEAN countries.
Da bi zagotovili, da dobi končni sporazum široko javno podporo ter da se sprejmejo ukrepi za zmanjšanje kratkoročnega vpliva na tiste sektorje, ki bodo pri tem neizogibno utrpeli izgubo, je potrebno čim večje sodelovanje lokalne civilne družbe v pogajalskem postopku.
The maximum possible involvement of local civil society throughout the negotiating process is required so as to ensure that the final agreement has broad popular support and that steps are taken to minimise the short-term impact on those sectors that will inevitably lose out.
Sporazum mora zavezovati pogodbenice k ratifikaciji temeljnih standardov Mednarodne organizacije dela in k zagotavljanju njihovega učinkovitega izvajanja.
The agreement should commit the parties to ratify the core ILO standards and to ensure to their effective implementation.
Trenutno so le Kambodža, Indonezija in Filipini ratificirali vseh 8 temeljnih konvencij Mednarodne organizacije dela.
At present, only Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines have ratified all 8 core ILO conventions.
Vpliv sporazuma o prosti trgovini na delovne standarde in potreba po ukrepih za blaženje vseh negativnih učinkov je ena od tem, ki jim je treba dati prednost pri izvajanju presoje vplivov na trajnostni razvoj.
The impact of an FTA on labour standards, and the need for measures to mitigate any adverse affects, is one of the issues that should be given priority when the Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA) is undertaken.
Pomembno je, da se ta študija opravi na začetku pogajalskega procesa, da lahko pogajalci, parlamentarci in civilna družba upoštevajo rezultate te študije.
It is important that this study is produced early in the negotiating process so that negotiators, parliamentarians and civil society can take the results into account.
Presoja vplivov na trajnostni razvoj mora posebno pozornost namenjati vplivu liberalizacije trgovine na enakost spolov zaradi skrbi, da imajo lahko liberalizacija kmetijstva, proste carinske cone in odprava kvot za tekstil nesorazmerno škodljiv vpliv na žensko delovno silo.
The SIA should give particular attention to the impact of trade liberalisation on gender equality in view of concerns that agricultural liberalisation, export processing zones and the end of textiles quotas can have a disproportionately negative impact on female workers.
Za okoljski del sporazuma je eno od najpomembnejših vprašanj potreba po boju proti krčenju gozdov, ki pomembno prispeva k podnebnim spremembam.
For the environmental section of the agreement, one of the most important issues is the need to combat deforestation which is making a major contribution to climate change.
V skladu s predlogom Komisije o biogorivih morajo trgovinski sporazumi vključevati ukrepe za spodbujanje blaga, ki je bilo proizvedeno z uporabo okoljsko trajnostnih postopkov, da so lahko končni potrošniki prepričani, da kupijo „zeleni“ proizvod.
In line with the Commission's proposals on biofuels, trade agreements should contain measures to promote goods that have been produced using environmentally-sustainable processes so final consumers can be confident that they are buying a "green" product.
Hkrati je treba zagotoviti spodbude za spodbujanje držav združenja ASEAN k boju proti nezakonitemu gozdarjenju ter ohranjanju in izboljševanju njihovih tropskih gozdov.
At the same time, incentives should be provided to encourage ASEAN countries to combat illegal logging and to maintain and enhance their tropical forests.
Čeprav je jasno in ambiciozno poglavje o trajnostnem razvoju pomembno, je še pomembnejše učinkovito izvajanje in izvrševanje dogovorjenih standardov.
While a clear, ambitious sustainable development chapter is important, what ultimately matters is effective implementation and enforcement of the agreed standards.
Takšno izvajanje se lahko spodbuja z vzpostavitvijo foruma o trgovini in trajnostnem razvoju, ki ga sestavljajo organizacije delavcev in delodajalcev ter nevladne organizacije.
This could be promoted by establishing a Trade and Sustainable Development Forum made up of workers’ & employers’ organisations and NGOs.
Učinkovito izvajanje prav tako zahteva, da za poglavje o trajnostnem razvoju velja enak postopek za reševanje sporov kot za druga poglavja.
Effective enforcement also requires that the Sustainable Development chapter is subject to the same dispute settlement treatment as other chapters.
Ker sta se vlada in kongres Združenih držav dogovorila, da se bodo „vse okoljske obveznosti iz sporazumov o prosti trgovini izvajale na podlagi enakih meril kot trgovinske določbe iz naših sporazumov, tj. z enakimi pravnimi sredstvi, postopki in sankcijami,“ je težko razumeti, zakaj bi se Evropa, ki obravnava socialno varstvo ter varstvo in trajnost okolja veliko bolj resno, pogodila za manj.
The US Administration and Congress having agreed that "all of our FTA environmental obligations will be enforced on the same basis as the commercial provisions of our agreements – same remedies, procedures, and sanctions", it is hard to see why Europe, which treats social and environmental protection and sustainability much more seriously, should settle for less.
Na splošno so tarife za nekmetijske proizvode, ki jih uporablja združenje ASEAN, sorazmerno nizke, čeprav nekatere države uporabljajo najvišje tarife v sektorjih, kot je prevozna oprema.
In general ASEAN applied tariffs for non-agricultural products are relatively low although some countries have tariff peaks in sectors such as transport equipment.
Pomembnejše so netarifne ovire in zlasti omejitve, kot so uvozna dovoljenja.
Non-tariff barriers, and in particular restrictions such as import licensing, are more significant.
Tudi storitve ostajajo v večjem delu regije zelo omejene.
Services also remain heavily restricted in most of the region.
Poleg tega bančna tajnost predstavlja resno oviro pri sklepanju sporazuma o sodelovanju in partnerstvu s Singapurjem, kar je, kot je že omenjeno, nujen pogoj za sporazum o prosti trgovini.
In addition, banking secrecy represents a serious obstacle to the conclusion of a PCA with Singapore which, as previously noted, is a necessary condition for an FTA.
Na splošno predstavlja izvrševanje pravic intelektualne lastnine težave ter mora biti prednostna naloga za pogajanja.
In general, the enforcement of IPR presents problems and should be a priority for the negotiations.
Izboljšati je treba varstvo intelektualne lastnine v obliki oblikovanja, zvočnih posnetkov in drugih kulturnih dobrin, pri čemer je treba zagotoviti, da nič v sporazumu ne omejuje pravice vseh sodelujočih držav, da urejajo storitve, ki so pomembne za kulturno raznolikost, kot je avdiovizualni sektor.
Protection of Intellectual Property in the form of design, sound recordings and other cultural goods should be enhanced, whilst ensuring that nothing in the agreement limits the right of all participating countries to regulate services which play a prominent role in cultural diversity, such as the audiovisual sector.
Ponarejeni farmacevtski izdelki niso le nepoštena konkurenca izdelkom družb, ki so financirale raziskave in razvoj izdelka, ampak so tudi nevarni za potrošnike.
Counterfeit pharmaceuticals not only compete unfairly against those made by firms who have funded the product's research and development but are also dangerous for consumers.
Hkrati nič v sporazumu med EU in združenjem ASEAN ne sme ustvariti nobenih pravnih ali praktičnih ovir za družbe, ki uporabljajo možnosti za prilagajanje, določene v Deklaraciji o sporazumu TRIPS in javnem zdravju, sprejeti na ministrski konferenci STO v Dohi.
At the same time, nothing in the EU-ASEAN agreement should create any legal or practical obstacles to firms using the flexibilities set out in the Declaration on the TRIPS agreement and public health, adopted by the Doha WTO Ministerial Conference.
Ukrepi za poenostavitev, standardizacijo in posodobitev carinskih postopkov ter drugih uradnih postopkov bi lahko bistveno prispevali k zagotavljanju, da trgovanje med EU in združenjem ASEAN ni po nepotrebnem ovirano.
Measures to simplify, standardise and modernise customs procedures and other formalities could make a substantial contribution to ensuring that EU-ASEAN trade is not impeded by unnecessary barriers.
Jasno je, da bi bilo treba v primeru manj bogatih držav tak sporazum podpreti z zadostno pomočjo za trgovanje.
Clearly, for the less affluent countries, such an agreement would need to be underpinned by adequate Aid for Trade.
Tisti del sporazuma, ki obravnava javne razpise, mora upoštevati različne stopnje razvitosti članic združenja ASEAN ter mora spoštovati pravico vsakega udeleženca, da prosto ureja svoje javne storitve, zlasti tiste, ki so povezane z osnovnimi potrebami, kot so zdravje, izobraževanje in pitna voda.
The section of the agreement dealing with public procurement must take account of the varying level of development of the ASEAN members and must respect the right of each participant freely to regulate its public services, particularly those linked to basic needs such as health, education and drinking water.
Vprašanja, ki veljajo za posamezno državo
Country Specific Issues
Pomembno bo, da vsak načrt za tarifna znižanja v celoti upošteva zelo različen gospodarski položaj članic ASEAN.
It will be important that any schedule for tariff reductions takes full account of the widely varying economic circumstances of ASEAN's Members.
V skladu z običajno prakso STO „posebne in diferencirane obravnave“ in ob upoštevanju opredelitve „celotne trgovine“, ki se uporablja v sporazumu o gospodarskem partnerstvu s karibskimi državami, mora biti EU pripravljena, da omogoči državam z nizkimi in nizkimi srednjimi prihodki (Indonezija, Filipini, Tajska, Vietnam) daljša prehodna obdobja in manj obsežno kritje, kot se zahteva za načrte, ki jih sprejmejo države z visokimi prihodki.
In accordance with normal WTO practice of "Special and Differential Treatment", and taking note of the definition of "substantially all trade" used in the Economic Partnership Agreement with the Caribbean, the EU should be ready to allow low and low middle income countries (Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam) longer transition periods and less extensive coverage than the schedules adopted by high income countries.
Zahteva Vietnama za status tržnega gospodarstva za instrumente trgovinske zaščite bo prav tako del širšega okvira, znotraj katerega poteka to pogajanje.
Vietnam's request for market economy status for the purpose of trade defence instruments will also from part of the wider context within which this negotiation is situated.
Mandat, ki ga je sprejel Svet, Komisije ne pooblašča za pogajanja s tremi najmanj razvitimi državami.
The mandate adopted by the Council does not authorise the Commission to negotiate with the three LDCs.
Medtem ko je jasno, da so trgovinska pogajanja z Mjanmarom v sedanjih okoliščinah nesprejemljiva, je položaj v zvezi s Kambodžo in Laosom bolj uravnotežen.
Whilst it is clear that trade negotiations with Burma are unacceptable in the current circumstances, the situation with regard to Cambodia and Laos is more balanced.
Po eni strani ti dve državi, kot upravičenki do sheme „Vse razen orožja“, že imata tarif prost dostop na trg EU.
On the one hand, as beneficiaries of the "Everything But Arms" scheme, the two countries already have tariff-free access to the EU market.
Hkrati je treba opomniti, da je Komisija spodbujala najrevnejše države, naj se pridružijo sporazumom o gospodarskem sodelovanju.
At the same time, it should be noted that the Commission has encouraged LDCs to join Economic Partnership Agreements.
Na poznejši stopnji mora zaprositi za stališča Kambodže in Laosa glede tega, ali in kdaj želita biti vključena v kateri koli sporazum.
It should seek, at a later stage, views from Cambodia and Laos as to whether and when they would wish to be included in any Agreement.
Medtem ko tudi politični položaj na Tajskem trenutno resno ovira sklenitev trgovinskega sporazuma, je – glede na možno dolžino pogajanj in zavezanost vojaškega režima nemoteni obnovi demokracije – mogoče upati, da se bo položaj izboljšal pred sklenitvijo končnega sporazuma.
While the political situation in Thailand also currently presents a serious obstacle to the conclusion of a trade agreement, in view of the potential length of the negotiations and the commitment of the military regime to swiftly restore democracy, it seems hopeful that the situation will be remedied before any final Agreement.
Vloga Evropskega parlamenta
EP role
Ko bo začela veljati lizbonska pogodba, bo imela Komisija uradno obveznost, da Parlamentu redno poroča o napredku pri pogajanjih, poleg tega bo pred sklenitvijo trgovinskih sporazumov potrebna privolitev Parlamenta.
When the Lisbon Treaty enters into force, the Commission will have a formal obligation to report regularly to the Parliament on the progress of negotiations and the Parliament's assent will be required before trade agreements are concluded.
Zaradi počasnega poteka pogajanj se zdi malo verjetno, da bo sporazum z združenjem ASEAN sklenjen pred novo pogodbo.
Given the slow pace of negotiations, it seems unlikely that an agreement with ASEAN will be concluded in advance of the new Treaty.
Vse inštitucije morajo zato ukrepati na podlagi predpostavke, da bo končni sporazum zahteval privolitev Parlamenta.
All Institutions should therefore act on the assumption that the final agreement will need parliamentary approval.
Zaradi tega se je treba ves čas pogajanj posvetovati s Parlamentom, da ta na koncu sprejme odločitev da ali ne.
In turn, this requires that Parliament be consulted throughout the course of the negotiations, rather than being faced with a yes/no choice at the end.
Komisija je že pokazala dobrodošlo pripravljenost, da pristojnemu odboru Parlamenta zagotovi informacije, vključno s predstavitvami brez navzočnosti javnosti in dokumenti, ki so na voljo omejenemu krogu ljudi.
The Commission has already shown a welcome readiness to provide information to the Parliament’s responsible Committee including in camera briefings and documents subject to restricted circulation.
Pomembno je, da se to nadaljuje med pogajanji in da je javnosti na voljo čim več informacij, da bodo evropski državljani poznali pogajanja, ki potekajo v njihovem imenu.
It is important that this continues throughout the negotiations and that the maximum possible information is made publicly available so that European citizens can be aware of the negotiations taking place on their behalf.
