– za zmanjšanje pravic pritožnikov glede na Komisijo;
- result in a diminution of rights for any complainant vis-à-vis the Commission;
10. meni, da bi morala država članica v duhu lojalnega sodelovanja dejavno in neposredno sodelovati z Odborom za peticije vsakič, ko je Evropskemu parlamentu predložena peticija vzporedno s pritožbo, ki je obravnavana v okviru novega pristopa, predvidenega v poskusnem izvajanju;
Considers that, whenever a petition is submitted to the European Parliament in parallel with a complaint dealt with under the new approach envisaged in the pilot exercise, the Member State concerned should actively and directly engage with the Committee on Petitions, in a spirit of loyal cooperation;
13. meni, da je izrednega pomena, da država članica v primeru, če poizvedba ali pritožba razkrije kršitev zakonodaje Skupnosti, ponudi pravno sredstvo; meni tudi, da je treba ta termin tolmačiti široko in da zgolj prenehanje kršitve včasih ne zadostuje;
Considers that, if the enquiry or complaint reveals a breach of Community law, it is of paramount importance that the Member State offer a remedy; considers furthermore that the latter term should be construed widely and that the mere discontinuation of the breach may sometimes not be a sufficient remedy;
16. meni, da je nujno potrebno izboljšanje upravnih virov Odbora za peticije, da bi povečali sposobnost Parlamenta za izvajanje neodvisnih preiskav peticij, ki so nanj naslovljene.
Considers that there is an urgent need to improve the administrative resources of its Committee on Petitions in order to increase Parliament's capacity to conduct independent investigations of petitions addressed to it.

A. ker je večstranski in na pravilih temelječ sistem trgovanja Svetovne trgovinske organizacije še vedno najboljši možni okvir za urejanje in spodbujanje poštene in pravične trgovine z oblikovanjem ustreznih pravil in zagotavljanjem skladnosti s temi pravili,
A. whereas the rule-based multilateral trading system, established through the World Trade Organisation (WTO), continues to represent the most suitable framework for regulating and promoting fair and equitable trade by developing appropriate rules and ensuring compliance with those rules,
B. ker morajo biti prednostna naloga EU še naprej uravnoteženi dosežki razvojne agende iz Dohe, kar bi pomagalo državam v razvoju, da polno sodelujejo v mednarodnem sistemu trgovanja,
B. whereas the EU should continue to give priority to the achievement of a balanced outcome of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA), which would assist developing countries to play a full part in the international trading system,
C. ker lahko dvostranski in medregionalni trgovinski sporazumi kljub temu dopolnijo pravilnik Svetovne trgovinske organizacije, pri čemer zajamejo vprašanja, kot so socialni in okoljski standardi, o katerih je zdaj težko doseči večstranski sporazum,
C. whereas bilateral and inter-regional trade agreements can nevertheless complement the WTO rule book by covering issues such as social and environmental standards where it is currently difficult to find multilateral agreement,
D. ker lahko sporazum s Korejo obravnava tudi vprašanja naložb in trgovine s storitvami, vendar bi moral to opravljati na način, ki bi zagotavljal, da odprtje trga ne bi škodovalo evropskim ali korejskim pravilom o zaščiti javnih storitev in kulturne raznolikosti, pa tudi ne spodkopavalo javnih storitev v partnerskih državah EU ali zmanjšalo prostor, ki je potreben za enostransko izvajanje trajnostnih socialnih, ekonomskih in okoljskih politik v EU in v Koreji,
D. whereas the agreement with Korea can also address questions of investment and trade in services, but should do so in a way which ensures that market opening does not compromise either European or Korean rules on the protection of public services and cultural diversity, nor undermine public services in the EU’s partner countries to such agreements, or the policy space needed to unilaterally enact sustainable social, economic and environmental policies in the EU as well as in Korea,
E. ker je gospodarstvo Koreje eno od vodilnih gospodarstev z dohodkom na prebivalca, ki je enak dohodku srednje uspešnih držav članic EU,
E. whereas Korea is one of the world’s leading economies with an income per head that is equivalent to a middle-ranking EU Member State,
F. ker revščina v Koreji ostaja nerešen problem, ki se poglablja in ker se Koreja po statistiki OECD umešča med tri članice OECD z največjimi razlikami v dohodkih, ki se tudi najhitreje še povečujejo; ker je Koreja na zadnjem mestu med državami OECD, kjer se manj kot 5 odstotkov prihodka od davkov namenja socialni varnosti v primerjavi s povprečjem OECD, ki znaša 43 odstotkov,
F. whereas poverty remains an unresolved and deepening problem in Korea which, according to OECD statistics, ranks among the three OECD members with both the biggest income gap and the greatest widening of the income gap; whereas Korea ranks last among OECD countries with less than 5 percent of tax income spending on social safety, compared to an OECD average of 43 percent,
ker je Koreja četrta največja trgovinska partnerica EU zunaj Evrope in ker je bila EU leta 2006 največji tuji vlagatelj v Koreji,
G. whereas Korea is the EU’s fourth largest trading partner outside Europe and the EU was the largest foreign investor in Korea in 2006,
H. ker je Koreja podpisala sporazume o prosti trgovini z Združenimi državami Amerike in številnimi drugimi vodilnimi trgovinskimi partnericami ter se pogaja o nadaljnjih sporazumih,
H. whereas Korea has signed Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with the United States and a number of other leading trading partners and has further agreements under negotiation,
I. ker dostop do trga vedno bolj ovirajo različne vrste netarifnih ovir, vključno z nesprejetjem mednarodnih norm in standardov, ki so delno odgovorne za strukturni deficit EU v dvostranskih trgovinskih odnosih,
I. whereas market access is being increasingly hampered by various types of non-tariff barrier (NTB), including a failure to adopt international norms and standards, that are partially responsible for the structural EU deficit in bilateral trade relations,
J. ker študije kažejo, da lahko sklenitev sporazuma EU–Koreja pomembno gospodarsko koristi obema pogodbenicama, pri čemer bi imela Koreja v vsakem primeru dve tretjini koristi,
J. whereas studies show that an EU-Korea agreement could produce substantial economic gains for both parties, but that, in any of the scenarios considered, Korea would receive two thirds of the benefits,
4. verjame, da bi sporazum, omejen samo na znižanje tarif, prinesel le kratkoročne koristi, zato zahteva odpravo netarifnih ovir in odprtje sektorja storitev v Koreji;
Believes that an agreement limited to tariff reductions would merely produce short term benefits and therefore demands the dismantling of NTBs as well as the opening of the services sector in Korea;
Trajnostni razvoj
Sustainable development
9. meni, da je treba ambicioznost Komisije v zvezi z večjim dostopom do trga uravnotežiti z enako ambicioznim pristopom za trajnostni razvoj; vztraja tudi, da ne sme biti odstopanja od pravila, da je dostop do notranjega evropskega trga pogojen z upoštevanjem okoljskih standardov zaščite;
Believes that the Commission’s level of ambition with regard to increasing market access should be balanced by an equally ambitious approach to sustainable development; also insists that there must be no exceptions to the rule that access to the internal European market is conditional on compliance with environmental protection standards;
11. meni, da morajo pogajalci EU to obravnavati kot temelj za nadaljnji napredek, zlasti ob upoštevanju ratifikacije in izvajanja osnovnih standardov Mednarodne organizacije dela in vključevanja Koreje v ureditev za boj proti podnebnim spremembam po letu 2012 ter priznanja obstoječih okoljskih standardov in zakonodaje EU;
Considers that EU negotiators must see this as a base from which further progress can be made, particularly with regard to the ratification and enforcement of core International Labour Organization standards, Korea’s involvement in a post-2012 regime for combating climate change and recognition of existing EU environmental standards and legislation;
15. meni, da bi lahko imel forum o trgovini in trajnostnem razvoju, ki ga sestavljajo predstavniki organizacij delavcev in delodajalcev ter nevladnih organizacij, pomembno vlogo pri zagotavljanju, da se z večjo odprtostjo trga zvišujejo okoljski in socialni standardi;
Believes that a Trade and Sustainable Development Forum, made up of representatives from workers’ and employers’ organisations and from NGOs, could play a valuable role in ensuring that greater market opening is accompanied by rising environmental and social standards;
18. meni, da je zaradi odstopanja Koreje od mednarodnih norm in zahtev za označevanje veliko netarifnih ovir, ki pomenijo težave zlasti za avtomobilsko, farmacevtsko, kozmetično industrijo in industrijo elektronike; poziva korejsko vlado, naj zadovoljivo pojasni takšna odstopanja ali pa se med pogajanji o sporazumu o prosti trgovini zavzame za njihovo odpravo;
Considers that Korea’s divergence from international norms and labelling requirements constitute major NTBs which present particular problems for the automotive, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and electronics industries; calls on the Korean government to provide satisfactory explanations for such divergences or, otherwise, to commit during the FTA negotiations to remove them;
21. obžaluje, da Koreja ne upošteva mednarodnih norm, zaradi česar se na živalih izvajajo nepotrebni, dvojni poskusi; meni, da bi moral biti cilj sporazuma, da zagotovi, da bi bile znanstveno ovrednotene alternative testiranju na živalih, ki jih je sprejela ena stran, sprejemljive tudi za drugo;
Regrets that Korea’s failure to follow international norms leads to animals being subject to unnecessary, duplicative tests; considers that the Agreement should seek to ensure that scientifically validated alternatives to animal testing that have been approved by one party should be presumed acceptable to the other party;
28. meni, da je učinkovito izvajanje pravic intelektualne lastnine, vključno z uvedbo primernih kazni za ponarejanje in piratstvo, zelo pomembno; meni, da bi bilo treba, upoštevajoč obstoječa pravila STO, vključiti posebne mehanizme za hitro in učinkovito reševanje sporov, da bi se te in druge nepoštene prakse lahko ustrezno obravnavale; ugotavlja, da sedanje pogajanje s Korejo o zaščiti pravic intelektualne lastnine ne bi smelo spodkopati legitimnih ciljev politike, kot je dostop do zdravil, s preseganjem obveznosti iz sporazuma TRIPs, vendar bi moralo namesto tega spodbujati k uporabi prilagodljivosti TRIPs;
Attaches high priority to the effective enforcement of intellectual property rights, including through the introduction of adequate penalties for counterfeiting and piracy; considers that special mechanisms of quick and efficient dispute settlement, in the context of existing WTO rules, should be included so that these and other unfair trade competitive practices can be dealt with adequately; states that the current negotiation with Korea on the IPR protection should not undermine legitimate policy goals such as access to medicines by going beyond the TRIPs Agreement obligations, but that it should instead encourage the use of TRIPs' flexibilities;
31. poziva Južno Korejo, naj okrepi boj proti internetnemu piratstvu z: izboljšanjem spodbud za sodelovanje ponudnikov omrežij v boju proti piratstvu; s spodbujanjem centra za zaščito avtorskih pravic, da dosledno ukrepa proti internetnemu piratstvu del tujih imetnikov pravic; z raziskovanjem in preganjanjem subjektov, povezanih z nelegalnimi spletnimi mesti v internetnem območju;
Urges South Korea to strengthen the fight against Internet piracy by: improving incentives for cooperation by network providers in the fight against piracy; encouraging the Copyright Protection Centre to enforce consistently against online piracy of works of foreign right holders; investigating and prosecuting entities involved with illegal Internet sites, servers, storage services and file sharing services;
· 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 najboljših praks 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 NTBs;
Severna Koreja in Kaesong
North Korea and Kaesong
36. meni, da bi morala Koreja dokazati svojo zavezanost večstranskim pogajanjem in biti pripravljena najmanj razvitim državam omogočiti dostop do svojega trga brez dajatev in kvot, s čimer bi upoštevala primer sheme EU „vse razen orožja“;
Believes that, in order to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to multilateral negotiations, Korea should be ready to offer duty-free, quota-free access to Least Developed Countries (LDCs), following the example of the EU’s Everything But Arms (EBA) scheme and in full respect of equivalent labour and environmental standards;
Vloga Parlamenta
Parliament’s role
Večstranskost in regionalizem
Multilateralism and regionalism
Sporazum o prosti trgovini s Korejo je del strategije Komisije za globalno Evropo ter predstavlja skupaj s podobnimi pogajanji z Indijo in državami jugovzhodne Azije (ASEAN) bistveno spremembo prejšnje politike, v okviru katere se nova pogajanja v zvezi s sporazumom o prosti trgovini niso začela, dokler ni bila sklenjena razvojna agenda iz Dohe.
The FTA with Korea forms part of the Commission’s Global Europe strategy and, together with similar negotiations involving India and the countries of South East Asia (ASEAN), represents a significant change from the previous policy of not starting new FTA negotiations until the multilateral Doha Development Agenda (DDA) was concluded.
Delni razlog za to spremembo je negotovost v zvezi z možnostmi za uspešno končanje razvojne agende iz Dohe, pri čemer je razlog tudi svetovni trend za večje število dvostranskih in medregionalnih trgovinskih sporazumov.
This change can in part be attributed to uncertainty about the prospects for a successful conclusion of the DDA but also reflects a worldwide trend towards increasing numbers of bilateral and inter regional trade agreements.
Če bi Koreja sklenila sporazume o prosti trgovini z drugimi velikimi trgovinskimi partnericami, pri čemer ne bi sklenila takega sporazuma z EU, bi bila evropska podjetja v slabšem konkurenčnem položaju glede na proizvajalce, katerim je omogočen dajatev prost dostop na korejski trg, kar bi lahko imelo negativne posledice na zaposlovanje v EU.
Were Korea to conclude FTAs with other major trading partners but not with the EU, European firms would be at a competitive disadvantage relative to producers which enjoyed duty-free access, which in turn could have negative consequences for employment in the EU.
Področje uporabe dvostranskih trgovinskih sporazumov je lahko hkrati širše, kot določajo sedanja pravila Svetovne trgovinske organizacije, in vključuje z reševanje vprašanj, za katera ni potrebno večstransko soglasje.
At the same time, bilateral trade agreements can offer the scope to go further current WTO rules, including by tackling issues for which there is not the necessary multilateral consensus.
Zato to poročilo podpira zamisel o sporazumu o prosti trgovini s Korejo, čeprav je v njem poudarjeno, da mora biti takšen sporazum zelo kakovosten in da se za dosego hitrega dogovora ne smejo opustiti ambiciozni cilji.
This report therefore supports the concept of an FTA with Korea whilst emphasising that such an agreement must be a high quality one and that the level of ambition should not be sacrificed to achieve a quick deal.
Zaradi prizadevanj po sklenitvi sporazuma ne sme biti ogroženo prizadevanje za sklenitev razvojne agende iz Dohe, ki ostaja prednostna naloga in najboljša možnost za doseganje uravnoteženih ciljev na podlagi te agende, pri čemer krepi večstranski sistem trgovanja, ki temelji na pravilih.
The search for an agreement should not 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 morajo prizadevanja po sklenitvi sporazuma Svetovne trgovinske organizacije s Korejo vključevati preseganje pravil Svetovne trgovinske organizacije ne le v smislu dostopa do trga, ampak tudi v smislu socialnih in okoljskih standardov.
In addition, the search for a WTO+ agreement with Korea should mean going beyond WTO rules not only in terms of market access but also for social and environmental standards.
Na teh dveh področjih omogoča sporazum vzpostavitev novega standarda, ki bo zagotovil vzorec za druge sporazume, o katerih potekajo zdaj pogajanja.
In these latter areas, the agreement offers the possibility of setting a new standard that will provide a model for other agreements that are under negotiation.
Pomembnost Koreje
Importance of Korea
Glede na BDP ima Koreja, ki je iz ene najrevnejših držav v petdesetih letih 20. stoletja prerasla v eno najbogatejših držav z BDP na prebivalca, primerljivem s Španijo, enajsto največje gospodarstvo na svetu.
By GDP, Korea has the world’s 11 th largest economy, having grown from being one of the world’s poorest countries in the 1950s to one of the richest with per capita GDP now comparable to that of Spain.
Pomemben je bil prehod v sektor storitev, iz katerega se zagotavlja približno 70 % BDP, značilna pa je tudi izrazita osredotočenost na sektor informacijske tehnologije.
There has been a shift to the services sector which accounts for some 70% of GDP and strong concentration on the IT sector.
Koreja naj bi imela večji delež prebivalstva s hitrim internetnim dostopom kot katero koli drugo veliko gospodarstvo.
Korea is said to have a higher proportion of the population with high speed internet access than any other major economy.
Koreja je četrta največja trgovinska partnerica EU zunaj Evrope na področju trgovine z blagom, pri čemer se je ta trgovina od leta 2001 povečala za več kot 35 %.
Korea is the EU’s fourth largest trade partner outside Europe with trade in goods increasing by over 35% since 2001.
Prejšnje leto je bila EU največji tuji vlagatelj v Koreji.
Last year the EU was the largest foreign investor in Korea.
Koreja je podpisala sporazum o prosti trgovini z EFTA, Singapurom in ASEAN, 30. junija 2007 pa je podpisala sporazum o prosti trgovini z Združenimi državami (KorUS).
Korea has signed FTAs with EFTA, Singapore and ASEAN and an agreement with the United States (“KorUS”) was signed on 30 June 2007.
Pogajanja s Kanado in Indijo še potekajo.
Negotiations are also underway with Canada and India.
Povprečne tarife za kmetijske proizvode so v Koreji skoraj dvakrat večje kot v EU, za izdelano blago pa so večje enkrat in pol.
Korean average tariffs are nearly double the EU level for agricultural products and one and a half times those for manufactured goods.
Varnost korejskih storitev je ocenjena celo še bolje, medtem ko se evropska podjetja pritožujejo zaradi bistvenih netarifnih ovir, vključno z zahtevami za označevanje, standardi, ki se razlikujejo od mednarodnih norm, in večjimi kapitalskimi zahtevami za podružnice tujih bank.
Estimates of protection for Korean services are even higher while European firms complain of substantial non-tariff barriers including labelling requirements, standards which diverge from international norms and higher capital requirements for branches of foreign banks.
Pomembno je, da obravnava vsak sporazum ta vprašanja hkrati s postopno odpravo tarif.
It is important that any agreement addresses these issues at the same time as phasing out tariffs.
Zavedati se je treba, da prosta trgovina ostaja sporna tema za korejsko družbo, kar kažejo demonstracije proti sporazumu z Združenimi državami in korejskih demonstrantov v Bruslju med septembrskim tretjim krogom pogajanj.
We should recognise that Free Trade remains a controversial topic for Korean society as can be seen by demonstrations against the agreement with the US and the presence of Korean demonstrators in Brussels during the third negotiating round in September.
Trajnostni razvoj
Sustainable Development
Kot je že bilo navedeno, je Koreja bogata industrializirana država.
As noted, Korea is a rich industrialised country.
Vendar razmere v zvezi s pravicami sindikatov in varstvom okolja niso skladne s tem, kar se pričakuje od članice OECD.
However the situation with regard to trade union rights and environmental protection is not what might be expected from an OECD Member.
Ni ji uspelo ratificirati štirih (4) od osmih (8) ključnih konvencij Mednarodne organizacije dela, v okviru kjotskega protokola pa nima nobenih zavezujočih obveznosti.
It has failed to ratify 4 of the 8 core ILO conventions and has no binding obligations under the Kyoto protocol.
Pod pritiskom demokratične stranke so se okrepile socialne in okoljske določbe v sporazumu KorUS.
Under pressure from the Democratic Party, the social and environmental clauses in KorUS have been strengthened.
