meni, da je treba odnose EU-ZDA še naprej izboljševati, pod pogojem, da se bodo razvijali na enakopravni osnovi in da EU uspe nastopiti z enim glasom; meni, da lahko močne čezatlantske vezi prispevajo k reševanju številnih izzivov, ki so v skupnem interesu, zlasti v skupnem pristopu h kriznim območjem, kot so zahodni Balkan, južni Kavkaz, širši Bližnji vzhod, Afganistan, boj proti terorizmu, sedanja kriza zaradi pomanjkanja hrane, varnost oskrbe z energijo in spremembe podnebja, gospodarska recesija, trgovinska neravnovesja ter preglednost in ureditev finančnih trgov;
Takes the view that EU-US relations need to be further improved, provided they develop on an equal basis and the EU manages to speak with one voice; believes that strong transatlantic relations can contribute to tackling a wide range of challenges of common concern, notably in the common approach to crisis areas such as the Western Balkans, the South Caucasus region, the broader Middle East, Afghanistan, the fight against terrorism, the current food crisis, energy security and climate change, economic recession and trade imbalances and transparency and regulation of the financial markets;
je seznanjen s pobudo o novem čezatlantskem gospodarskem partnerstvu, ki bi zamenjalo obstoječo novo čezatlantsko agendo; ponovno poudarja, da je skupaj s to gospodarsko pobudo treba pripraviti nov okvirni sporazum, ki bo zagotovil ustrezne institucionalne in politične temelje za doseganje skupnih političnih in gospodarskih ciljev ter prispeval k temu, da se bomo lahko v večstranskem okviru odzvali na izzive 21. stoletja;
Takes note of the initiative to launch a New Transatlantic Economic Partnership to replace the existing New Transatlantic Agenda; reiterates the need to develop, with this economic initiative, a new framework agreement to provide an appropriate institutional and political foundation for pursuing common political and economic objectives and for trying to counter the challenges of the 21st century within a multilateral framework;
se zavzema, da bi v tem procesu sodelovala ameriški kongres in Evropski parlament; poziva vrh EU-ZDA, da podpre parlamentarno razsežnost partnerstva in zakonodajalca tesneje vključi v dialog med izvršilnimi organi EU in ZDA, kar velja tudi za civilno družbo z obeh strani;
Advocates participation of the US Congress and the European Parliament in this process; calls upon the EU-US Summit to support the parliamentary dimension of the partnership and to involve the legislators more closely in the dialogue between the EU and the US executives as well as civil society on both sides;
Trgovinska vprašanja in kriza zaradi pomanjkanja hrane
Trade issues and the food crisis
poudarja, da določitev enotnih standardov za trgovino, o čemer so v zvezi z načrtom o medsebojnem priznavanju sporazumov o trgovinskem partnerstvu med EU in ZDA do leta 2009 razpravljali na srečanju čezatlantskega ekonomskega sveta novembra 2007, ne sme voditi v usklajeno oslabitev socialnih, okoljskih in zdravstvenih standardov; se zavzema za ponovno oživitev čezatlantskega okoljskega dialoga in njegovo vključitev v čezatlantski ekonomski svet, da se s tem vzpostavi čezatlantsko regulativno sodelovanje z „najboljšimi praksami“ za napredek na področjih zdravja potrošnikov, varnosti in varstva okolja ter s tem pospešeno vzpostavitev bolj trajnostnega čezatlantskega trga;
Underlines that the goal of uniform standards for trade, as discussed at the meeting of the Transatlantic Economic Council (TEC) in November 2007 with regard to a roadmap for reaching mutual recognition of EU-US trade partnership agreements in 2009, must not lead to a downward harmonisation of social, environmental and health standards; urges that the Transatlantic Environmental Dialogue be revitalised and integrated in the TEC in order to provide transatlantic regulatory cooperation with ‘best practices’ to take forward consumer health, safety and environmental protection, thus facilitating a more sustainable transatlantic marketplace;
meni, da bo sporazum o skupnih standardih za biogoriva, ki ga želi čezatlantski ekonomski svet ob sodelovanju Brazilije doseči leta 2008, ostal popolnoma nezadosten, če vanj ne bodo vključeni najvišji standardi za trajnostno ekološko pridelavo poljščin za biogoriva; poziva čezatlantske partnerje, naj podprejo moratorij za pridobivanje biogoriv iz poljščin, namenjenih za prehrano ljudi, vse dokler ni natančno ugotovljen učinek na zanesljivost svetovne oskrbe s hrano;
Takes the view that the agreement that the TEC – with input from Brazil – is trying to reach in 2008 with regard to common standards for agrofuels will remain completely inadequate as long as it does not contain the highest standards with regard to the environmental sustainability of agrofuel crop production; calls on the transatlantic partners to support a moratorium on agrofuel production from food crops, unless its impact on global food security is thoroughly assessed;
zahteva, da so iz liberalizacije tako pri dvostranskih čezatlantskih odnosih kot v večstranskem okviru WTO kategorično izključene osnovne javne storitve, zlasti vzgoja in izobraževanje, sanitarno-zdravstveni ukrepi, oskrba z vodo in energijo ter avdiovizualne in kulturne storitve;
Demands that basic public services, and in particular education, health, sanitation, water and energy provision, and audiovisual and cultural services, be categorically exempted from liberalisation in bilateral transatlantic relations, as well as in the multilateral framework of the WTO;
meni, da so sorazmerne trgovinske ugodnosti, ki jih ZDA uživajo zato, ker niso podpisale kjotskega protokola, nekakšen okoljski damping, na katerega se mora EU odzvati s korektivnimi ukrepi, kot je na primer prilagoditev dajatev na meji;
Regards the comparative trade advantages accruing to the US through its refusal to sign up to the Kyoto Protocol as a form of environmental dumping which the EU must redress through corrective measures such as border tax adjustments;
poziva vlado ZDA, da v prihodnosti ne nadaljuje s prakso nespoštovanja predpisov in prakse EU, kar zadeva uvozna dovoljenja, označevanje in sledljivost genetsko spremenjenih živil ter krmil;
Calls on the US Government to refrain from any further challenge to EU legislation and EU practice with regard to the import licensing, labelling and traceability of genetically modified food and feed products;
poziva kanadsko in ameriško vlado, naj odpravita povračilne ukrepe na uvoz iz EU, ki sta jih sprejeli v odgovor na prepoved, ki jo je EU uvedla na uvoz hormonsko predelanega govejega mesa, ter naj sprejmeta vedno očitnejše znanstvene dokaze o tem, da so hormoni, uporabljeni pri proizvodnji govedine (na primer -17 beta-estradiol), rakotvorni in genotoksični in torej predstavljajo nesprejemljivo tveganje; poziva Evropsko komisijo, naj se pritoži zoper odločitev WTO z dne 30. marca 2008, na osnovi katere lahko ZDA in Kanada Evropi vsilita hormonsko predelano goveje meso;
Urges the Canadian and US Governments to remove their retaliatory measures against EU imports in response to the EU’s ban on hormone-treated beef and to accept mounting scientific evidence showing that the hormones used in beef production – such as oestradiol-17 beta – are carcinogenic and genotoxic, thus presenting unacceptable risks; urges the European Commission to appeal the ruling delivered by the WTO in this case on 30 March 2008 which allows the US and Canada to force hormone-fed beef on Europe;
je zaskrbljen zaradi obljube komisarja Verheugna na zadnjem srečanju čezatlantskega ekonomskega sveta 13. maja 2008, da bo preklical prepoved uvoza perutnine, obdelane z antimikrobnimi sredstvi za zatiranje patogenov, iz ZDA v EU, čeprav ni nobenih novih znanstvenih dokazov, ki bi podpirali njegove trditve o varnosti hrane;
Expresses its concern about the promise made by Commissioner Verheugen at the last TEC meeting, on 13 May 2008, to lift the ban on imports of US poultry with pathogen reduction treatments into the EU, in the absence of any new scientific advice supporting his claim of food safety;
še vedno ni prepričan o utemeljenosti skupnega sporazuma o naložbah med EU in ZDA, o katerem se je čezatlantski ekonomski svet dogovoril 13. maja 2008, ki bi spodbudil neomejeno naložbeno svobodo, in to v času možnega finančnega zloma, poleg tega je zelo zaskrbljen glede nezadostne preglednosti in odgovornosti številnih finančnih in naložbenih produktov, poudarja pa tudi, da morajo biti naložbe iz državnih premoženjskih skladov predmet politične odločitve;
Remains unconvinced about the Joint EU-US Open Investment Agreement agreed by the TEC on 13 May 2008, which promotes unconstrained investment freedom in a time of looming financial break-down, expresses its utmost concern at the lack of transparency and accountability in a number of financial and investment products, and, in particular, takes the view that investments by Sovereign Wealth Funds must be subject to political deliberation;
poziva evropske članice skupine G7, da problem finančnih špekulacij z visoko stopnjo finančnih vzvodov, zlasti na trgu hrane in surovin, uvrstijo na dnevni red naslednjega vrhunskega srečanja G7; meni, da je regulativni odgovor ameriških finančnih nadzornih oblasti na krizo zaradi drugorazrednih hipotekarnih kreditov ne zadostuje za obnovo zaupanja v finančne trge; opozarja na trajno nevarnost, ki jo za svetovno in nacionalna gospodarstva ter podjetja predstavljajo nenadzorovani skladi za zavarovanje vlaganj in zasebni delniški skladi, ter poziva k odločnim ukrepom za omejitev njihovega poslovanja; opozarja, da ima kar dve tretjini tovrstnih skladov sedež v off-shore centrih, zato zahteva, da morajo vse možne rešitve zajemati odločne ukrepe proti državam z nizkimi davki;
Urges the European G7 participants to put the problem of highly leveraged financial speculation, especially on food and commodity markets, on the agenda of the next G7 summit; regards the regulatory responses of the US financial supervision authorities to the subprime loans crisis as insufficient to restore confidence in financial markets; warns against the persistent danger coming from uncontrolled hedge and private equity funds for the world economy, national economies and individual companies, and asks for decisive action to curb their business; recalls that two thirds of hedge and private equity funds are based in off-shore centres and therefore demands that any solution must contain strong measures against tax havens;
zato poziva Komisijo in ameriško vlado k okrepljenim in usklajenim prizadevanjem na ravni WTO, da bi zlasti revnejšim državam v razvoju omogočili, da zaščitijo svojo lokalno pridelavo hrane, in da jih ne bi silili v sporazume, zaradi katerih bi morali opustiti izvozne davke ali količinski nadzor izvoza, če so ti upravičeni zaradi pomislekov o nacionalni varnosti oskrbe s hrano;
Calls for strengthened and coordinated efforts by the Commission and the US Administration at WTO level to provide poorer developing countries in particular with ways to protect their local food production, and to refrain from pressuring them into agreements compelling them to abandon export taxes or export quantity controls if these are justified by national food security concerns;
poziva EU in ZDA, pa tudi mednarodne finančne ustanove, naj držav v razvoju ne silijo k liberalizaciji ali privatizaciji osnovnih gospodarskih sektorjev in javnih storitev, ki so bistvenega pomena za prebivalstvo;
Calls on the EU and the US, as well as international financial institutions, not to force developing countries to liberalise or privatise basic economic sectors and public services that are vital for the population;
pozdravlja pobudo vlade ZDA za sprostitev pomoči v hrani ter meni, da je ta pobuda prvi pomemben korak k reformi celotnega programa pomoči v hrani, ki bo v celoti upoštevala potrebo po proaktivni podpori izboljšani regionalni in lokalni varnosti oskrbe s hrano, ki jo je v preteklosti pogosto ovirala vezana pomoč ZDA v hrani;
Welcomes the initiative of the US Administration to untie food aid, and sees this initiative as a first important step in reforming the entire food aid programme to take full account of the need proactively to support enhanced regional and local food security, which in the past was often undermined by tied US food aid;
poziva Komisijo, naj opozori na dejstvo, da je treba velik del proračuna EU in ZDA za razvojno pomoč nameniti kmetijskim raziskavam, usposabljanju in izmenjavi najboljših praks za kmetovalce, da bi spodbudili proizvodnjo, usmerjeno na regionalne in lokalne trge, ter da bi nadalje razvili učinkovite in trajnostne poljedelske sisteme, kot so kolobarjenje, gojenje mešanih kultur in participativno gojenje rastlin in živali brez GSO, prilagojeno lokalnim potrebam, da bi stabilizirali lokalno oskrbo s hrano in ustvarili dobre sisteme kmetovanja z dolgoročno nizkim energetskim vložkom;
Calls on the Commission to raise the issue of the need to dedicate a major part of the EU/US development aid budget to agricultural research and training and exchange of best practice for farmers, in order to promote regional and local market-orientated production and further to develop efficient, sustainable crop systems, such as crop rotation and mixed cultivation of crops, and participatory, locally adapted, non-GMO plant and animal breeding in order to create stability in local food supply and sound farming systems with low energy input in the long term;
Vprašanja v zvezi z vizumi in boj proti terorizmu
Visa issues and the fight against terrorism
poudarja, da morajo imeti državljani EU enake pravice do potovanja v ZDA pod enakimi pogoji; v zvezi s tem pozdravlja sklepe Sveta PNZ z dne 18. aprila, ki Evropski komisiji podeljuje jasno pooblastilo, da se z ZDA pogaja o programu za odpravo vizumov, zlasti o elektronskem sistemu za odobritev potovanj in o izmenjavi podatkov;
Reiterates that all EU citizens should have the same right to travel to the US under the same conditions; welcomes, in this regard, the outcome of the JHA Council of 18 April, which gives the European Commission a clear mandate to negotiate with the US on the Visa Waiver Programme and, in particular, on the Electronic System of Travel Authorisation (ESTA) and data exchange;
meni, da morajo biti pogajanja pregledna in temeljiti na načelu recipročnosti ter spoštovati določbe EU o varstvu podatkov; zato pozdravlja 12 dogovorjenih načel o varstvu podatkov, vendar hkrati poudarja, da so ta načela nezadostna in vsebujejo preveč izjem;
Takes the view that those negotiations should be transparent, based on the principle of reciprocity and respectful of EU data protection provisions; welcomes, therefore, the twelve data protection principles agreed upon, but states at the same time that those principles are not sufficient and contain too many exceptions;
meni, da je treba skupaj z ZDA vzpostaviti skupni urad za varstvo podatkov za spodbujanje skupnega okvira v vseh sporazumih EU-ZDA, ki vključujejo poglavje o varstvu podatkov; v ta namen poziva k odprtju pravih pogajanj med EU in ZDA; v skladu z načelom pravnomočnosti močno nasprotuje zahtevi ZDA za dostop do podatkovnih baz EU, kot sta SIS in VIS;
Consider it necessary to set up a common data protection authority with the US to promote a common framework in all EU-US agreements that include a data protection chapter; asks for the opening of genuine EU-US negotiations to that end; expresses its strong opposition, in accordance with the principle of finality, to the US requirement of having access to EU databases such as SIS and VIS;
meni, da je treba z ZDA opredeliti skupen in enoten okvir, ki bo posebnemu partnerstvu med EU in ZDA v boju proti terorizmu ponudil potrebna jamstva, vključno z jasnejšo definicijo terorizma;
Takes the view that a common, shared framework must be defined with the US to safeguard the guarantees that are needed in the special EU-US partnership in the fight against terrorism, including a clearer definition of terrorism;
v zvezi s tem poziva Združene države, da ukinejo programe skrivnih centrov za pridržanje in zaprejo zadevne ustanove ter da zapornikom sodijo ali jih izpustijo v skladu z mednarodno zakonodajo in standardi;
Calls on the United States, in this regard, to put an end to its secret detention programme, to dismantle the relevant facilities, and to either try or release the remaining detainees in full compliance with international law and standards;
meni, da morajo krivci dokumentiranih kaznivih dejanj mučenja, umorov in prisilnih izginotij v okviru programov skrivnih centrov za pridržanje odgovarjati, in poziva vlado ZDA, da žrtvam zločinov in nezakonito pridržanim zapornikom povrne škodo za čas njihovega pripora;
Takes the view that the perpetrators of the documented crimes of torture, murder and forced disappearances in the context of the secret detention program should be held accountable, and calls on the US Government to compensate the victims of the crimes, as well as all illegally held detainees, for their time of imprisonment;
vlade držav članic EU in ZDA poziva, da v okviru Združenih narodov sprožijo pobudo za prenovo obstoječe prakse seznamov sankcij in za oblikovanje ustreznih postopkov za pošteno zaslišanje, navedbo razlogov, učinkovito sodno zaščito in pravna sredstva;
Calls on the EU and the US Government to launch an initiative within the United Nations with a view to reforming the existing practice of sanctions lists, including the establishment of due procedures for a fair hearing, the statement of reasons, effective judicial protection and remedy;
upa, da bo ameriška vlada na tem srečanju pripravljena sprejeti skupno strategijo z EU, katere cilj je napredek pri razorožitvi, kar zadeva orožje za množično uničevanje in konvencionalno orožje, pri čemer bo ustavila sedanji trend ZDA v zvezi z visokimi vojaškimi izdatki in močnim prizadevanjem za krepitev svojega vojaško-tehnološkega položaja v svetu ter visoke vojaške zmogljivosti;
Hopes that at this summit the US Administration will be willing to adopt a common strategy with the EU aimed at making progress on disarmament in terms of both weapons of mass destruction and conventional weaponry, reversing the United States’ present trend of multiplying its military expenditure and undertaking everything within its power to strengthen its global military technological posture and high-scale warfare capacity;
poziva Svet, da z ameriškimi sogovorniki razpravlja o tem, kako omogočiti pozitiven pristop k prihodnjemu delu pripravljalnih odborov glede pogodbe o neširjenju jedrskega orožja (pripravljalni odbori NPT) kot prvo priložnost za okrepitev svetovnega režima neširjenja jedrskega orožja pred konferenco za pregled NPT leta 2010; pri tem poudarja, da je na tem srečanju treba sprožiti določene pobude za jedrsko razorožitev, ki bodo temeljile na „13 praktičnih ukrepih“, o katerih je bil dosežen enoglasen dogovor na konferenci za pregled NPT leta 2000; ponavlja stališče, da takšni ukrepi med drugim ponujajo izhod iz slepe ulice glede sprejetja pogodbe o prepovedi proizvodnje cepljivih snovi in omogočajo, da začne veljati celovita pogodba o prepovedi jedrskih poskusov; poudarja, da bi to moralo vključevati tudi neposodabljanje jedrske oborožitve ZDA, Francije in Združenega kraljestva in umik jedrskih bojnih glav z evropskega ozemlja; poziva Svet, da prevzame vodilno vlogo v začetku pogajanj o tako imenovani „konvenciji o jedrskem orožju“, katere cilj je svetovna prepoved jedrskega orožja;
Urges the Council to discuss with its US counterparts how to make a positive approach to future Non-Proliferation Treaty Preparatory Committees (NPT PrepComs) as a first opportunity to strengthen the global non-nuclear proliferation regime in the run-up to the NPT Review Conference in 2010; underlines in this context the need to discuss at the summit a number of nuclear disarmament initiatives based on the ‘13 practical steps’ agreed to unanimously at the 2000 NPT Review Conference; reiterates its view that, inter alia, such steps break the deadlock on the adoption of a verifiable Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty and facilitate the entry into force of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty; points out that this should also include the non-modernisation of nuclear arsenals in the US, France and the UK, and the withdrawal of US nuclear warheads from European territory; urges the Council to take a leadership role in starting negotiations on the ‘nuclear weapons convention’ aimed at globally banning all nuclear weapons;
ponavlja stališče, da je napočil čas, da čezatlantski partnerici – tudi ZDA – prevzameta svetovno vodilno vlogo pri izvajanju, izboljšanju in uveljavitvi več mednarodnih pogodb, ki so uvrščene med poglavitne točke pogajalskih načrtov OZN glede nadzora prepovedi posebnih vrst konvencionalnega orožja; poudarja, da takšne pogodbe vključujejo polno izvajanje akcijskega programa OZN v zvezi z orožjem malega kalibra in lahkim strelnim orožjem, ter svetovni sporazum o trgovini z orožjem, norveška večstranska pobuda za prepoved kasetnega streliva in svetovni sporazum o prepovedi protipehotnih min (pri čemer naj bi pogodba širše zajela vse vrste min, tako protipehotne kot protitankovske); ponavlja stališče, da bi morala postati prepoved uporabe belega fosforja in osiromašenega urana sestavni del t.i. konvencije o konvencionalnem orožju;
Reiterates its view that the time has come for the transatlantic partners – including the USA – to take a global lead in the implementation, improvement and establishment of several international treaties which have been put high on the UN negotiation agenda on the control or banning of specific types of conventional arms; points out that such treaties include full implementation of the UN programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons, the Global Treaty on Arms Transfers, the Norwegian multi-nation initiative for a ban on cluster-submunitions and the Global Treaty to Ban Landmines (including the extension of that treaty to cover all types of mines, both AP and AT types); reiterates its position that banning the use of white phosphorus and depleted uranium should be made an integrated part of the ‘Convention on Conventional Weapons’;
izraža odločno prepričanje, da Evropa v bližnji prihodnosti ne potrebuje raketnega sistema za zaščito svojega ozemlja pred sovražnimi balističnimi raketami dolgega dosega z bojnimi konicami za množično uničevanje, ki bi jih izstrelile zlonamerne države ali nedržavni akterji; je prepričan, da so za preprečitev nove oborožitvene tekme (vključno v vesolju) in odpravo dolgoročne teroristične grožnje ter drugih nevarnosti, ki pretijo evropski in svetovni varnosti (npr. podnebne spremembe), nujne zelo velike naložbe v politiko preprečevanja konfliktov in razorožitvene pobude;
Remains totally unconvinced that Europe will in the foreseeable future need a system of missiles to protect its territory against hostile long-range ballistic missiles with WMD warheads launched by rogue nations or non-state actors; is convinced that to counter new arms races (including in space), long-term terrorist threats and other threats endangering European and global security, such as climate change, there must be huge investment in conflict-prevention policies and disarmament initiatives;
močno spodbuja obe partnerici, da se sporazumeta o skupnem pristopu k vprašanju, kako omejiti podnebne spremembe in doseči, da bi se temperatura dvignila za največ 2°C v primerjavi s stanjem pred industrializacijo, za kar bi vzpostavili sistem, po katerem bi razvite države in države v razvoju glede na različno odgovornost in po zmožnostih prispevale k zmanjšanju emisij toplogrednih plinov;
Strongly encourages the two partners to agree on a joint approach to limiting climate change to a maximum temperature increase of 2°C over pre-industrialised levels through fair contributions to the reduction efforts of greenhouse-gas emissions by developed and developing countries, in accordance with their different responsibilities and respective capabilities;
