Glede na veliko pozornost, ki jo EU pripisuje visokim socialnim in okoljskim standardom, mora Komisija ta sporazum obravnavati kot izhodišče za poglavje o trajnostnem razvoju v sporazumu EU-Koreja.
Given the high priority the EU attaches to high social and environmental standards, the Commission should see this agreement as a starting point for the sustainable development chapter of the EU-Korea.
Komisija si v trgovinskih pogajanjih prizadeva zagotoviti ujemanje ponudb za tarife, ki jih je prejela EU, s tarifami, ki jih je država odobrila drugim trgovinskim partnericam.
In trade negotiations, the Commission seeks to ensure that tariff offers received by the EU match those which a country has granted to other trading partners.
Prav tako pomembno je zagotoviti, da se izboljšajo socialni in okoljski standardi kot varstvo pred škodljivo tekmovalnostjo zaradi večje liberalizacije.
It should be equally vigilant to ensure that social and environmental standards follow an upward path as protection against a race to the bottom arising from increased liberalisation.
V študiji podjetja Copenhagen Economics je ugotovljeno, da bi imela Koreja iz sporazuma EU-Koreja o prosti trgovini v vsakem primeru dve tretjini koristi.
A study by Copenhagen Economics suggested that Korea would receive two thirds of the benefits from an EU-Korea FTA on all scenarios.
V tem smislu se zdi prizadevanje EU za bistveni napredek na svojih prednostnih področjih utemeljeno, tako da bo končna ponudba omogočila smiselno uravnoteženost ugodnosti za obe strani.
In view of this it seems reasonable for EU to look for substantial progress on its priority areas so that the final deal offers a reasonable balance of advantages to both sides.
Zato se morajo pogodbenice na podlagi sporazuma obvezati, da ratificirajo temeljne standarde Mednarodne organizacije dela ter se zavežejo k njihovem učinkovitem izvajanju in drugim osnovnim dejavnikom v zvezi s primernim ravnanjem.
To this end, the agreement should commit the parties to ratify the core ILO standards and commit themselves to their effective implementation and to other basic decent work components.
V to agendo morajo biti vključeni tudi ukrepi za spodbujanje enakosti med spoloma v zaposlovanju, saj je na tem področju še veliko možnosti za napredek za obe strani.
Measures to promote gender equality in employment should form part of this agenda as there is room for substantial progress by both sides.
Prav tako si je treba prizadevati za ohranitev standardov dela, da se privabijo tuje naložbe, ki morajo zajeti celotno območje pogodbenic, vključno s prostimi carinskimi conami.
There should also be an undertaking not to lower labour standards in order to attract foreign investment which must cover the entire territory of the parties including export processing zones.
V zvezi z učinkovitim izvajanjem bi pomagal mehanizem, s katerim bi lahko priznane organizacije delavcev in delodajalcev iz EU in Koreje predložile takšne zahteve za ukrep, ki bi se obravnavale v določenem roku.
Effective implementation would be assisted by a mechanism whereby recognised EU or Korean workers’ and employers’ organisations should be able to submit such requests for action which would be treated within a specified time period.
Pritožbe o socialnih problemih morajo obravnavati popolnoma neodvisni in dobro usposobljeni strokovnjaki.
Complaints about social problems should be subject to consideration by genuinely independent and well-qualified experts.
Na podlagi njihovih priporočil se morajo redno sprejemati ukrepi za nadaljnje spremljanje in pregled, da se ohrani pritisk nad kršenjem pravic delavcev.
Their recommendations should result in ongoing follow-up and review provisions, in order to maintain pressure against violations of workers' rights.
Koreja nima nobene zavezujoče obveznosti v zvezi z toplogrednimi plini v okviru kjotskega protokola.
Korea does not have any binding greenhouse gas commitments under the Kyoto Protocol.
Težko je pričakovati, da bodo lahko revnejše države, kot sta Kitajska in Indija, prispevale k boju proti globalnemu segrevanju, če pri tem ne sodelujejo niti bogatejše države.
It is difficult to see how poorer countries such as China and India can be expected to make their contribution to combating global warming if richer ones do not play their part.
Pogajanja o ureditvi po letu 2012 bodo zagotovo omogočila razširitev področja uporabe sporazuma, pri čemer se bodo cilji za zmanjšanje porazdelili na pravičen način, ki ne izkrivlja konkurence.
Negotiations for the post 2012 regime will provide a clear opportunity to extend the coverage of the agreement with a view to sharing reduction targets in an equitable way that does not distort competition.
Čeprav je pomembno, da ima sporazum poglavje z jasnimi, ambicioznimi cilji socialnega razvoja, je najbolj pomembno učinkovito izvajanje dogovorjenih standardov.
While it is important that the agreement have a clear, ambitious social development chapter, what ultimately matters is effective enforcement of the agreed standards.
Takšno izvajanje se lahko spodbuja z vzpostavitvijo foruma o trgovini in trajnostnem razvoju, ki ga sestavlja primerno uravnoteženo število predstavnikov organizacij delavcev, organizacij delodajalcev in nevladnih organizacij.
This could be promoted by establishing a Trade and Sustainable Development Forum made up of an appropriate balance of workers’ organisations, employers’ organisations and NGOs.
Ta forum je treba dopolnjevati z rednimi poročili o napredku v zvezi z izvajanjem obveznosti o trajnostnem razvoju, skupaj z rednimi neodvisnimi trajnostnimi ocenami vpliva.
This forum should be complemented by regular reporting on progress to implement commitments on sustainable development together with ongoing independent sustainability impact assessments (SIAs).
Za učinkovito izvajanje je prav tako potrebno, da se reševanje sporov, povezano s poglavjem o trajnostnem razvoju, obravnava enako kot v drugih sestavnih delih sporazuma.
Effective enforcement also requires that the Sustainable Development chapter is subject to the same dispute settlement treatment as other components of the agreement.
Vlada in kongres Združenih držav se strinjata, 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,“ zato bi bilo nesmiselno, da sprejme Evropa manjše obveznosti.
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 should settle for less.
Uspešen izid pogajanj v zvezi s socialnimi in okoljskimi določbami sporazuma EU-Koreja o prosti trgovini bi bil pomemben že sam po sebi, pri čemer bi postal tudi pomemben vzorec za prihodnje sporazume z drugimi državami ali regijami, če bi se izpolnil ambiciozen časovni razpored pogajanj.
A good outcome on the social and environmental elements of an EU-Korea FTA would not only be valuable in itself but, if the ambitious negotiating timetable can be met, would also provide an important model for future agreements with other countries or regions.
Sektorska vprašanja
Sectoral Issues
Politika Koreje na področju standardov se pogosto razlikuje od mednarodnih norm.
Korea’s standards policies often diverge from international norms.
V zvezi s tujimi avtomobili je Koreja podpisala in ratificirala sporazum UNECE ter se tako zavezala, da bo izvajala predpise o standardih.
With regards to foreign cars, Korea has signed and ratified the UNECE Agreement and has thus committed itself to implementing the standard regulations.
V sporazumu o prosti trgovini mora biti jasno izraženo, da Koreja priznava standarde UNECE kot take, s čimer omogoča evropskim avtomobilom, ki izpolnjujejo te standarde, dejanski dostop do korejskega trga.
The FTA should clearly state that Korea recognises UNECE standards as such thereby allowing European cars that live up to these standards to be given real access to the Korean market.
Zaradi odstopanja od mednarodnih norm ima določene težave tudi farmacevtska industrija, kadar Koreja ne priznava dovoljenja za zdravila, ki so bila preizkušena in potrjena v tujini.
Divergence from international norms also presents particular problems for the pharmaceutical industry, where Korea does not recognise the authorisation of drugs that have been tested and certified abroad.
Te nacionalne norme ne ovirajo le evropskega izvoza, ampak obstaja zaradi njih tudi tveganje za preskuse na živalih, ki so nepotrebni, ker ponavljajo že opravljene poskuse.
These national norms not only create obstacles to European exports but also risk subjecting animals to tests which are unnecessary as they duplicate those already undertaken.
Sporazum se mora v zvezi z obravnavanjem netarifnih ovir izogibati vsem določbam, zaradi katerih bi imele države v razvoju težji dostop do zdravil v skladu s sporazumi Svetovne trgovinske organizacije.
Whilst addressing such NTBs, an agreement should avoid any clauses that could make it more difficult for developing countries to have access to medicines in line with the WTO agreements.
Težave v zvezi z označevanjem in standardi so tudi na področju kozmetičnih in elektronskih proizvodov, medtem ko veljajo za destilirane alkoholne pijače največje tarife, tj. približno 20 %, in pretirane zahteve za označevanje.
Cosmetics and electronic products also face problems with labelling and standards while distilled spirits are subject to a tariff peak of around 20% and excessive labelling requirements.
Potrebne bodo natančne določbe o zaščiti geografskih označb.
Strong provisions on the protection of Geographical Indicators will be required.
Tudi v zvezi s trgom storitev je mogoč bistven napredek, zlasti na področjih, kot so pravne storitve, kadar je edini trg v regiji korejski, ki se bo po nedavnem odprtju kitajskega in japonskega trga v celoti zaprl.
There is also scope for significant advances in the services market, particularly for sectors such as legal services where the Korean market is the only one in the region to be completely closed after the recent opening of the Chinese and Japanese markets.
Kar zadeva tuja podjetja, ki se na področju finančnih storitev soočajo z znatnimi ovirami, bodo pri ugotavljanju, ali je Koreja pripravljena sprejeti finančna podjetja iz drugih držav, pomembne izkušnje Royal Bank of Scotland, ki načrtuje odprtje podružnic v Koreji.
With regard to financial services, where foreign firms face significant barriers, the experience of the Royal Bank of Scotland, who is planning to open branches in Korea, will provide an important test of the readiness of Korea to welcome financial firms from other countries.
Prednostna naloga je tudi izvajanje pravic intelektualne lastnine.
Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights is also a priority.
Kompleks Kaesong se nahaja v Severni Koreji, šest milj severno od demilitariziranega območja.
The KIC is located in North Korea, six miles north of the demilitarized zone.
Gradnja se je začela junija 2003, po načrtih pa se bo končala leta 2012.
Construction began in June 2003 and is scheduled to be completed in 2012.
Vlada Južne Koreje meni, da je kompleks Kaesong priložnost za izboljšanje odnosov med Korejama z oblikovanjem kraja za spravo, sodelovanje in poenotenje.
The South Korean government sees the KIC as offering the possibility of improving inter-Korean relations by creating a place of reconciliation, cooperation, and unification.
Zato si želi, da bi lahko sporazum o prosti trgovini zajemal blago, proizvedeno na tem območju.
It is therefore keen that goods produced in this zone can be covered by the FTA.
Na splošno Parlament podpira stališče, da lahko boljši trgovinski odnosi bistveno prispevajo k reševanju spora in spodbudijo boljše razumevanje med ljudmi.
In general the Parliament supports the view that improved trade relations can make a significant contribution to conflict resolution and promote better understanding between people.
Vendar sproža razširitev sporazuma o prosti trgovini na blago, proizvedeno v državi, ki ni pogodbenica tega sporazuma, zapletena pravna in tehnična vprašanja.
However extending an FTA to cover goods produced in a country that is not a party to that agreement raises complex legal and technical issues.
Politično bi bila ta razširitev sprejemljiva le, če bi bilo jasno, da vključitev kompleksa Kaesong ne bo ogrozila socialnih standardov na ozemlju pogodbenic sporazuma in da se bodo spodbujali temeljni standardi dela za delavce v Kaesongu.
Politically it would only be acceptable if it was clear that the inclusion of KIC would not undermine social standards in the parties to the agreement and that core labour standards were being promoted for Kaesong workers.
Ni jasno, ali bi bilo mogoče učinkovito spremljanje.
It is unclear whether effective monitoring would be possible.
Ukrepi za poenostavitev, standardizacijo in posodobitev carinskih postopkov ter drugih uradnih postopkov bi lahko bistveno prispevali, da bi se sprejel sporazum, ki preprečuje nepotrebno oviranje trgovanja EU-Koreja.
Measures to simplify, standardise and modernise customs procedures and other formalities could make a substantial contribution to ensuring an agreement that prevents EU-Korea trade being impeded by unnecessary barriers.
Vendar je treba poskrbeti, da se „spodbujanje trgovine“ ne izkorišča kot pretveza za ogrožanje varstva potrošnikov ali okolja.
However care should be taken to ensure that “Trade Facilitation” is not used as cover to undermine consumer or environmental protection.
Korejo je treba spodbuditi, da uvede dajatev in kvot prost dostop za najmanj razvite države v skladu s shemo EU „vse razen orožja“, da se pokaže stalna zavezanost pogodbenic razvojni agendi iz Dohe in da se najmanj razvite države izognejo negativnim posledicam na podlagi potencialnega sporazuma o prosti trgovini.
To show the parties’ ongoing commitment to the DDA and to avoid LDCs suffering negative impacts from the potential FTA, Korea should be encouraged to introduce duty-free quota-free access for LDCs along the lines of the EU’s EBA scheme.
Vloga EP
EP role
Čeprav je obstoječi okvirni sporazum o trgovini in sodelovanju mešani sporazum ter ima politični dodatek, ne obstaja noben drug sporazum o partnerstvu in sodelovanju te vrste, ki je običajno primerna politična in pravna podlaga za dvostranski trgovinski sporazum EU.
Although the existing Framework Agreement on Trade and Cooperation is a mixed agreement and has a political annex attached, there is no Partnership and Cooperation Agreement of the type that normally provides an appropriate political and legal background for an EU bilateral trade agreement.
V teh okoliščinah je treba poskrbeti, da se EU in Koreja v okviru trgovinskega sporazuma, o katerem se zdaj pogajata, ali ločenem sporazumu zavežeta temeljnim človekovim pravicam ter da se lahko sporazum o prosti trgovini prekine v primeru kršitve teh obveznosti.
In these circumstances, care must be taken to ensure that, either within the trade agreement currently being negotiated or by means of a separate agreement, the EU and Korea make the standard human rights commitments and that the FTA could be suspended were these commitments to be breached.
Evropski parlament od drugih institucij prav tako pričakuje, da si prizadevajo za sporazum v obliki, ki bi zahtevala privolitev Parlamenta v skladu z drugim odstavkom člena 300(3), za zagotovitev legitimnosti in demokratičnega nadzora.
Equally, in order to ensure legitimacy and democratic control, the European Parliament would expect the other institutions to seek to present the agreement in a form that would require the assent of the Parliament under Article 300(3) second paragraph.
Ta nadzor je lahko dejansko učinkovit le, če je Parlament obveščen v zvezi s tem in ima možnost predložiti pripombe med pogajanji ter da o sprejetju sporazuma ne odloča na koncu z glasovanjem za ali proti.
Naturally this control can only be effective if the Parliament is kept informed and has an opportunity to comment throughout the course of the negotiations, rather than being faced with a yes/no choice at the end.
Komisija je pripravljena zagotoviti informacije pristojnemu odboru Parlamenta, vključno s predstavitvami brez navzočnosti javnosti in dokumenti, ki so na voljo omejenemu krogu ljudi.
The Commission has shown a welcome readiness to provide information to the Parliament’s responsible Committee including in camera briefings and documents which are subject to restricted circulation.
Pomembno je, da se to nadaljuje med pogajanji in da je javnosti na voljo čim več informacij, tako da evropski državljani poznajo 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 that are taking place on their behalf.
o gospodarskih in trgovinskih odnosih s Korejo
on economic and trade relations with Korea
2. meni, da mora biti tudi sporazum o prosti trgovini s Korejo v skladu z dosežki kroga pogajanj o razvoju iz Dohe in upoštevati štiri tako imenovana singapurska vprašanja (tuje naložbe, konkurenco, preglednost javnih naročil in trgovinske olajšave);
Considers that any free trade agreement with Korea must be in line with the progress made in the WTO Doha Development Round of negotiations and should take account of the four so-called Singapore Issues (foreign investment, competition, transparency in public procurement and trade facilitation);
3. poziva k sklenitvi sporazuma o prosti trgovini s Korejo, ki bo pokrival trgovino z blagom in storitvami, ki bo znanstveno in tehnično sodelovanje ter intelektualno lastnino postavil v središče dvostranskih sporazumov, ki bo spodbujal sodelovanje na področju energetske učinkovitosti v boju proti podnebnim spremembam in ki bo vseboval določbe o drugih zunanjih vidikih energetske politike, jedrskih in obnovljivih virov energije ter programa Galileo;
Calls for the conclusion of a free trade agreement with Korea that covers trade in goods and services, makes scientific and technical cooperation and intellectual property an essential element of bilateral agreements, promotes cooperation on energy efficiency, is against climate change and includes provisions on other external aspects of energy policy, nuclear and renewable energy sources and the Galileo programme;
· da se v določenih sektorjih (npr. kmetijstvu) ne bi osredotočali na občutljive proizvode, ki so izvzeti iz pravil o konkurenci;
· no concentration on 'sensitive' products in specific sectors that are exempt from the rules on competition (e.g. agriculture),
· izboljšanje in poenostavitev pravil Skupnosti o poreklu;
· an improvement and simplification of Community rules on origin,
· širšo uskladitev že obstoječih mednarodnih norm in standardov namesto vpeljevanja novih standardov;
· broader harmonisation of existing international norms and standards instead of the introduction of new standards,
· strožje zahteve po razkritju in spodbujanje najboljše prakse na področju ureditve;
· more stringent disclosure requirements and the promotion of best practices in regulation,
· preglednost nacionalnih podpornih mehanizmov in odpravo obstoječih netarifnih ovir;
· the transparency of national support mechanisms and the dismantling of existing non-tariff barriers,
· skladnost z mednarodnimi tehničnimi predpisi in zahtevami za označevanje ter prekinitev uporabe netarifnih ovir v Koreji, zlasti v avtomobilski, farmacevtski, kozmetični industriji in industriji elektronike;
· compliance with international technical regulations and labelling requirements and Korea's ceasing to use non-tariff barriers, in particular in the automotive, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and electronics industries;
6. meni, da je treba glede na slabe izkušnje EU z dampinškimi cenami v korejskem ladjedelništvu v primeru kršitve uporabiti učinkovite mehanizme sankcioniranja, ki jih je mogoče takoj uporabiti;
Considers that, in the light of the EU's problematic experiences with the Korean shipbuilding industry's dumping prices, effective and immediately enforceable sanction mechanisms should be applied in the event of infringement;

Predlog za uredbo Sveta o spremembi Uredbe (ES, Euratom) št. 1605/2002 o finančni uredbi, ki se uporablja za splošni proračun Evropskih skupnosti, je bil pripravljen zaradi sklepa Sveta, da iz predloga Komisije o Uredbi Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta o spremembi Uredbe (ES) št. 2004/2003 o predpisih, ki urejajo delovanje političnih strank na evropski ravni in pravila glede njihovega financiranja (KOM(2007)364 konč.), izloči elemente, ki odstopajo od finančne uredbe v njeni sedanji obliki.
