Details

The rapporteur, Mr Wurtz (GUE/NGL, F), said that public aid for development was in free fall and amounted to barely 0.27% of the wealth produced in the industrialised nations, which was the lowest level for a quarter of a century. It was against this background that the Committee on Development wanted to assess the achievements and shortcomings of Lomé IV. Expressing alarm for the fate of Lomé IV, which would probably be the last of its kind, Mr Wurtz urged members to vote for the preservation and strengthening of the ‘spirit of Lomé’, which was being opposed by the full force of the ultra-liberals. He referred in particular to the partnership that was the founding principle of Lomé and on the basis of which it would be possible to reject the unilateral conditionality imposed by the international financial institutions. Commissioner Pinheiro shared the concerns of the rapporteur for the future of development and cooperation. Paying tribute to the role played by Parliament, which had always supported better relations between the European Union and the third world, the Commissioner said that he was favourably disposed to opening an in-depth debate on the future of the partnership.

Details

The Council instructed the French Presidency to come up with a compromise formula for the trade provisions of the negotiations and certain indicative parameters for the volume of the 8 th EDF to run from 1995 to 2000. Trade provisions: the compromise proposal of the French Presidency seeks to improve the conditions under which agricultural products from ACP countries access the Community market and to reconcile the pressing needs of the ACP countries and the interests of the Mediterranean Member States. It adapts the benefits granted to the ACP countries for three different categories of products that are protected to a greater or lesser extent: 1) products for which the ACP states do not enjoy any preference: 10% reduction in customs duties/levies; 2) products subject to tariff quotas or reference amounts: in general, conversion of quotas into ceilings and elimination of reference amounts; 3) products subject to timetables: 10% reduction in customs duties outside the current timetables. Derogations are laid down for each category of products. 8 th EDF: although the amount of the financial contribution was discussed, a final figure was not agreed. France stated clearly, however, that the 7 th EDF should be updated (ECU 12 billion, including EIB loans), taking account of two parameters: 1) in the past the resources of the European Development Fund had always been increased by 21.5% to cover at least inflation (which would give ECU 14.6 billion for the 8 th EDF); 2) the European Union had been enlarged to include three new prosperous Member States.

Trade provisions: the compromise proposal of the French Presidency seeks to improve the conditions under which agricultural products from ACP countries access the Community market and to reconcile the pressing needs of the ACP countries and the interests of the Mediterranean Member States. It adapts the benefits granted to the ACP countries for three different categories of products that are protected to a greater or lesser extent: 1) products for which the ACP states do not enjoy any preference: 10% reduction in customs duties/levies; 2) products subject to tariff quotas or reference amounts: in general, conversion of quotas into ceilings and elimination of reference amounts; 3) products subject to timetables: 10% reduction in customs duties outside the current timetables. Derogations are laid down for each category of products. 8 th EDF: although the amount of the financial contribution was discussed, a final figure was not agreed. France stated clearly, however, that the 7 th EDF should be updated (ECU 12 billion, including EIB loans), taking account of two parameters: 1) in the past the resources of the European Development Fund had always been increased by 21.5% to cover at least inflation (which would give ECU 14.6 billion for the 8 th EDF); 2) the European Union had been enlarged to include three new prosperous Member States.

It was against this background that the Committee on Development wanted to assess the achievements and shortcomings of Lomé IV. Expressing alarm for the fate of Lomé IV, which would probably be the last of its kind, Mr Wurtz urged members to vote for the preservation and strengthening of the ‘spirit of Lomé’, which was being opposed by the full force of the ultra-liberals. He referred in particular to the partnership that was the founding principle of Lomé and on the basis of which it would be possible to reject the unilateral conditionality imposed by the international financial institutions. Commissioner Pinheiro shared the concerns of the rapporteur for the future of development and cooperation. Paying tribute to the role played by Parliament, which had always supported better relations between the European Union and the third world, the Commissioner said that he was favourably disposed to opening an in-depth debate on the future of the partnership.
