A. ker ima Svetovna trgovinska organizacija (STO) ključno vlogo med večstranskimi organizacijami, ki prispevajo k vodenju gospodarstva na mednarodni ravni, boljšemu upravljanju globalizacije in pravičnejši porazdelitvi koristi, ki jih prinaša, ter si morajo skupaj prizadevati za doseganje ciljev tisočletja za trajnostni razvoj;
A. whereas the WTO plays a key role among the multilateral organisations which contribute to international economic governance, better management of globalisation and a fairer distribution of its benefits and they must strive jointly to achieve the Millennium sustainable Development Goals,
B. ker je bil sedanji krog pogajanj STO v Dohi, Katarju, ob svojem začetku leta 2001 uradno imenovan "Razvojna agenda iz Dohe" s poudarkom na prednostni nalogi, ki je bila pomagati državam v razvoju in revnim državam, da bi imele več koristi od liberalizacije trgovine,
B. whereas when the current WTO Round was launched in Doha, Qatar, in 2001, it was officially named the “Doha Development Agenda,” emphasising the priority of helping developing and poor countries gain more from trade liberalisation,
C. ker je za EU bistveno ohranjati dosežke večstranskega trgovinskega sistema in je še vedno trdno zavezana uspehu kroga pogajanj iz Dohe;
C. whereas the EU attaches the utmost importance to safeguarding what has so far been achieved by the multilateral trade system and remains firmly committed to the success of the Doha Round,
D. ker se kljub težavam pri pogajanjih vztraja v prizadevanjih, da bi ta krog pripeljali do uspešnega zaključka, kar je treba spodbujati;
D. whereas, in spite of difficulties in the negotiations, the efforts to conclude this Round successfully are continuing and must be encouraged,
E. ker različna dvostranska in regionalna trgovinska pogajanja z različnimi partnerji po vsem svetu, ki jih je EU nedavno začela, le dopolnjujejo, nikakor pa niso alternativa zaključku kroga pogajanj iz Dohe;
E. whereas the various bilateral and regional trade negotiations recently initiated by the EU with various partners across the world shall be complementary and not an alternative to the conclusion of the Doha Round,
F. ker se je ne glede na sedanje skrbi zaradi zaključka kroga pogajanj in kritik zaradi različnih stališč o različnih temah, o katerih se razpravlja, treba nemudoma posvetiti pripravam na čas po Dohi;
F. whereas over and beyond the immediate concerns regarding the conclusion of the Round and the critiques of the different positions on the various subjects under discussion, preparations now need to begin for the post-Doha period,
G. ker je leta 2004 svetovalni svet pod predsedstvom Petra Sutherlanda že opravil temeljit razmislek o prihodnosti STO in o institucionalnih izzivih, s katerimi se ta organizacija srečuje; ker pa priporočilom iz poročila, ki ga je ta svetovalni svet januarja 2005 predal generalnemu direktorju STO, niso sledili dejanski ukrepi;
G. whereas an important analysis of the future of the WTO and the institutional challenges it faces was carried out as early as 2004 by the Advisory Board chaired by Peter Sutherland; whereas, however, no practical action was taken with regard to the recommendations set out in the report delivered by the said Advisory Board to the WTO Director-General in January 2005,
H. ker bi bilo glede na najnovejša dogajanja sedaj že nujno ponovno odpreti to razpravo ter temeljito pregledati različne vidike delovanja STO, da bi se izboljšala njena učinkovitost in zrasla upravičenost;
H. whereas it is now a matter of urgency to relaunch this debate in the light of the latest developments and to fundamentally review several aspects of the functioning of the WTO with a view to increasing both its effectiveness and its legitimacy,
I. ker institucionalna razprava v STO, ki jo je želel Evropski parlament, ni nezdružljiva z nadaljevanjem in morebitnim zaključkom kroga pogajanj iz Dohe;
I. whereas the institutional debate in the WTO called for by the European Parliament is in no way incompatible with the continuation and possible conclusion of the Doha Round,
2. meni tudi, da je bolj kot kdaj koli potreben ponoven posvet o postopku odločanja, pooblastilih, delovanju in prihodnosti STO pred morebitno reformo te organizacije;
Considers, moreover, that it is now more necessary than ever to resume the debate on the decision-making process, mandate, functioning and future of the WTO with a view to the possible reform of this organisation;
4. pozdravlja obsežno reformo STO in ponovno poudarja pomen trgovine kot učinkovitega orodja za razvoj in zmanjševanje revščine; poudarja pomen večstranskosti, ki je mehanizem za spodbudo svobodne in poštene trgovine in ki prispeva k uresničitvi razvojnih ciljev tisočletja Združenih narodov;
Welcomes a substantial reform of the WTO and reiterates the importance of trade as an effective tool for development and poverty reduction; stresses the importance of multilateralism as a mechanism to promote free and fair trade and in order to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals;
6. poudarja, da je STO edina svetovna organizacija, katere funkcija je določanje pravil, ne da bi bila hkrati organizacija Združenih narodov, zato je njena naloga omejena na trgovinsko politiko; poziva Komisijo, naj to strukturno vprašanje umesti med pomembnejše teme programa reform STO;
Points out that the WTO is the only global organisation with rule-setting functions that is not part of the family of UN organisations, and as a result WTO rule-setting restricts itself to the remit of simple trade policy; calls on the Commission to put this structural dilemma high on the agenda of WTO reform;
8. poziva k temeljitemu razmisleku o tem, kako bi vprašanja netrgovinske narave bolje prilagodili pravilom STO, da bi članicam omogočili sledenje legitimnim ciljem politike ob hkratnem ohranjanju dostopa na trg; v tem smislu poudarja, da bi morala EU močno podpreti napore za sprejetje mednarodnih standardov, državam v razvoju pa bi bilo treba dodeliti pomoč za potrebe usklajevanja s temi standardi;
Calls for thorough consideration on the issue of better accommodating non-trade concerns within the scope of WTO rules, in order to allow members to pursue legitimate policy objectives, while safeguarding market access; stresses in that respect that efforts for the adoption of international standards should be strongly supported by the EU and that the necessary aid should be granted to developing countries in order to meet such standards;
11. podpira na spodbudah temelječ pristop, ko gre za upoštevanje okoljskih in socialnih standardov s strani članic STO, vendar poziva tudi k preučitvi ukrepov STO, ustreznih za soočanje s socialnim in okoljskim dampingom;
Supports an incentives-based approach concerning the observance of environmental and social standards by WTO members but equally calls for the examination of WTO compatible measures for addressing social and environmental dumping;
14. meni, da bi se institucionalna struktura STO lahko izboljšala z boljšim ločevanjem dejavnosti, povezanih s pogajanji o novih pravilih in zavezah, od tistih, povezanih z izvajanjem že obstoječih sporazumov; poudarja pomen omenjenih dejavnosti, ki jim članice STO nikakor ne bi smele odrekati sredstev in politične pozornosti;
Considers that the institutional structure of the WTO could be improved by better distinguishing the activities relating to the negotiation of new rules and commitments from those relating to the implementation of existing agreements; stresses the importance of the latter type of activity which should under no circumstances be sacrificed by WTO members in terms of resources and political attention;
17. poudarja pomen parlamentarne razsežnosti STO za krepitev demokratične legitimnosti in preglednosti njenih pogajanj; poudarja pomen dela, ki ga je opravila parlamentarna konferenca o STO – skupaj sta jo organizirala Evropski parlament in Medparlamentarna unija – in katere dejavnosti bi bilo treba okrepiti;
Stresses the importance of the parliamentary dimension of the WTO in order to enhance the democratic legitimacy and transparency of WTO negotiations; stresses the importance of the work done by the Parliamentary Conference on the WTO, which is organised jointly by the European Parliament and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), whose activities could be stepped up;
1a. poziva k uvedbi bolj demokratičnega sistema odločanja v STO, pri katerem se upoštevajo stališča vseh članic, kar vključuje države na različnih stopnjah razvoja;
Calls for the introduction of a more democratic system of decision-making at the WTO that takes into account the views of the entire membership, which comprises countries at varying levels of development;
24. opaža, da se v STO množijo neformalne skupine, ki na podlagi nekaterih skupnih sektorskih ali regionalnih interesov združujejo precejšnje število članic STO, ter njihovo pogosto koristno vlogo, ko je potrebno poenotiti stališča in oblikovati kompromise; poziva članice STO, naj razmislijo o možnosti, kako bolje spremljati ustanavljanje in delovanje takšnih skupin, da bi se zagotovila preglednost in učinkovitost ter da bi skupine pridobile sredstva, ki jih potrebujejo za svoje delovanje;
Observes the multiplication in the WTO of informal groups involving a varying number of WTO members which unite around certain common, sectoral or regional interests, and the often useful role played by these groups in summarising positions and helping to form compromises; calls on the WTO members to reflect on the possibility of better managing the establishment and functioning of such groups, in the interest of transparency and efficiency, and of giving them the necessary resources for their activities;
27. poziva k prizadevanjem za več sodelovanja in prisotnosti držav v razvoju v izvršnih svetih, kot tudi h krepitvi njihovih internih sistemov za poročanje, preglednost in dobro upravljanje;
Urges that efforts be made to enhance the participation and representation of developing countries on the Executive Councils, as well as to strengthen their internal systems for reporting, transparency and good governance;
30. poudarja, da je vloga sekretariata STO bistvena, ter meni, da je za učinkovitejše izvajanje pooblastil sekretariata pomembno, da so v njem sorazmerno zastopani uradniki razvitih držav in držav v razvoju;
Stresses that the role of the WTO secretariat is critical, and believes that it is important that the secretariat has a proportionate representation of officials from developed and developing countries in order for it to discharge its mandate more effectively;
32. predlaga, da bi bilo sekretariatu STO v skrbi za njegovo nepretrgano delovanje in nepristranskost dobro pustiti nekoliko manevrskega prostora za sprejemanje pobud institucionalnega interesa, predlaganje kompromisnih formul v primeru zastojev, pa tudi za predsedovanje sejam nekaterih organov; poudarja potrebo po tem, da takšne predloge spremlja resen razmislek o načinu zaposlovanja članov sekretariata in o tem, ali sredstva ustrezajo dolžnostim, ki so mu naložene;
Suggests that some leeway could also be given to the WTO secretariat, allowing it to adopt measures of institutional interest, propose compromise formulas in the case of deadlock, or even chair the meetings of certain bodies, in the interest of continuity and impartiality; stresses the need for such proposals to be accompanied by serious reflection on the arrangements for recruiting members of the secretariat and on the appropriateness of its resources for the tasks with which it is entrusted;
35. meni, da bi bilo treba resno in na podlagi objektivnih meril, ki niso vezana samo na bruto domači proizvod, preučiti vprašanje kategorizacije ali podkategorizacije ne samo držav v razvoju, temveč tudi vseh drugih članic STO, da bi bilo možno ločeno uporabljati obstoječe sporazume ali sporazume, o katerih še potekajo pogajanja;
Considers that serious consideration should be given to the issue of categorisation or sub-categorisation, not only of developing countries but also of all other WTO members, on the basis of objective criteria which are not exclusively linked to gross national product, with a view to a possible differentiated application of existing agreements or of those under negotiation;
38. poudarja, da je dogovor o reševanju sporov že od leta 1997 predmet pogajanj, namenjenih razlagi nekaterih pravil in izboljšanju njihove uporabe; obžaluje, da omenjena pogajanja že dolgo niso dala nobenih rezultatov; podpira predlog EU za večjo neodvisnost organov za reševanje sporov;
Points out that the Dispute Settlement Understanding has, since 1997, been the subject of negotiations designed to clarify some of its rules and improve their application; regrets the prolonged lack of results in these negotiations; supports the EU proposal for an enhancement of the autonomy of the dispute settlement bodies;
50. naroči svojemu predsedniku, da to resolucijo posreduje Svetu, Komisiji, vladam in parlamentom držav članic in držav kandidatk, vladam in parlamentom drugih članic STO in STO sami.
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission, the governments and parliaments of the Member States and candidate countries, the governments and parliaments of the other WTO members and the WTO.
Namen tega poročila je opisati možne usmeritve, s pomočjo katerih bi se izboljšal sistem večstranske trgovine, posebna pozornost pa je namenjena učinkovitosti ukrepov in strukture Svetovne trgovinske organizacije (STO), ki uteleša ta sistem in je včasih tarča kritik na račun njenega načina delovanja.
The aim of this report is to set out possible approaches to improving the multilateral trade system and, more particularly, the effectiveness of the actions and structures of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the embodiment of that system, whose operation and methods have attracted a certain amount of criticism.
Razmislek, ki ga načenja Odbor za mednarodno trgovino, ni enostaven, saj se bo nedvomno dotaknil ravnovesja v delovanju in postopkih organizacije, ki določa načela mednarodne trgovinske izmenjave.
The analysis of this subject on which the Committee on International Trade is about to embark is by no means straightforward, since it will inevitably raise the need for balance in the methods and procedures of the organisation responsible for upholding the principles in accordance with which international trade is regulated.
Od tedaj dalje se živahna akademska razprava, ki jo je ta dokument sprožil, znotraj STO ni nadaljevala, ravno obratno, zdi se, da je šla v pozabo.
Since then, the lively academic debate the report provoked at the time has not been followed up inside the organisation and the study itself seems to have been almost forgotten.
V uvodu želi poročevalka poudariti, da namen poročila ni kritizirati sistem večstranske trgovine in zlasti organizacijo, ki ga pooseblja, to je STO.
Your rapporteur wishes to begin by stressing that her report is not intended as a critique of the multilateral trade system or the organisation which embodies it, the WTO.
Ravno obratno, v poročilu bo poudarjen pomen, ki ga Parlament pripisuje tej organizaciji, na kateri temelji ves sistem svetovne trgovine.
On the contrary, the report stresses the importance which Parliament attributes to the organisation which is the cornerstone of the whole world trade system.
Vseeno pa se v trenutku, ko se približuje konec kroga pogajanj iz Dohe, za katerega si poročevalka želi, da bi prinesel pozitivne rezultate, zdi primerno na podlagi zaključkov poročila Sutherland začeti razmislek o institucionalnih in postopkovnih vprašanjih, da bi njihovo izboljšanje lahko prispevalo k učinkovitejšemu delovanju organizacije.
Nevertheless, now that the end of the Doha Round of negotiations - which your rapporteur hopes will be successful - is in sight, it would be appropriate to begin to reflect on the issues raised by certain institutions and procedures on the basis of the conclusions of the Sutherland report, in order to ascertain whether they could be improved and so help the organisation to function more effectively.
Naloga Komisije bo, da bo nato v Ženevi dala ustrezne pobude, da se to uresniči.
The Commission will then have the task of taking the necessary steps in Geneva to carry those improvements into effect.
Analiza, ki jo nameravamo opraviti, mora zato biti poglobljena in mora slediti logični niti, ki nas bo pripeljala do praktičnih rešitev, ki jih je moč zagovarjati v različnih priložnostih.
Before embarking on this in-depth analysis, therefore, we must bear in mind the need to stay focused and reach conclusions which are as realistic as possible and can be supported in the relevant bodies.
Področje reforme STO zajema nekatera temeljna vprašanja, ki jih poročevalka želi obravnavati.
The subject of WTO reform covers a number of fundamental questions which your rapporteur would like to bring to your attention.
Institucionalna zgradba STO
Institutional structure of the WTO
STO je razčlenjena na vrsto organov, ki imajo različne pristojnosti: generalni svet, generalni svet za preučevanje trgovinske politike, generalni svet za reševanje sporov in vrsto posebnih odborov, svetov, pododborov in delovnih skupin.
The WTO comprises a series of bodies with different powers, including the General Council, the General Council meeting as the trade policy review body, the General Council meeting as the dispute settlement body, and a series of special committees, councils, sub-committees and working parties.
Vprašamo se lahko, ali je ta struktura ustrezna ali morda ovira postopek odločanja.
The question is whether this structure is appropriate, or impedes the decision-making process.
Institucionalno zgradbo STO bi bilo mogoče izboljšati, če bi jasneje razmejili dejavnosti, povezane s pogajanji o novih mednarodnih predpisih in novih obveznostih, od dejavnosti, povezanih z izvrševanjem obstoječih dogovorov, ki jim je treba prav tako nameniti politično pozornost in ustrezna sredstva (denimo sporazum TRIPs in protokol k temu sporazumu).
The WTO’s institutional structure could be improved by establishing a clearer distinction between activities connected with the negotiation of new international rules and commitments and activities relating to the implementation of existing agreements, which should also attract sufficient political support and resources (see the TRIPs Agreement and Protocol).
V Svetovni trgovinski organizaciji se končne odločitve vedno sprejemajo s soglasjem ter se tako spoštuje enakost vseh članic STO.
Final decisions in the WTO are always adopted by a consensus, and fully respect the principle that all members of the WTO are equal.
Včasih članice izrazijo svoje nestrinjanje iz razlogov, ki nimajo nobene zveze z obravnavano temo, razlogov za nestrinjanje pa ni treba dokazati ali obrazložiti.
There are occasions when consent is withheld on grounds which are unconnected with the subject under discussion, yet no proof or justification for dissent is required.
Postopek odločanja bi bilo mogoče izboljšati tako, da se vladi države, ki zavrača soglasje, naloži obveznost, da pisno obrazloži svoje stališče.
The decision-making process could be improved by requiring any government which refuses to reach consensus to justify its position in writing.
Kljub temu, da bi se na ministrskih konferencah ohranilo načelo soglasja, bi morda v delovnih skupinah in odborih, katerih delo vodi do končne odločitve, lahko vzpostavili drugačen način odločanja.
Also, while unanimity should continue to be required at ministerial conferences, it might be possible to envisage another means of reaching agreement in the working parties and committees whose proceedings pave the way for the final decision.
