Man f(cid:229)r inte glo¤mma bort att dessa ma¤nniskor beka¤mpas och fo¤rfo¤ljs i ett fo¤rdolt krig som va¤rldssamfundet tyva¤rr inte tar sta¤llning till, fo¤rtrycks p(cid:229) ett ofta mycket grymt vis och a¤r fredlo¤sa p(cid:229) b(cid:229)de irakiskt, iranskt, syriskt och turkiskt territorium. Om inte kurderna fo¤rtja¤nar flyktingstatus vet jag inte vilka som skulle go¤ra det. Man kan konstatera att ingen internationell organisation kan besluta sig fo¤r att ta fo¤rsta steget, ens p(cid:229) humanita¤ra grunder, och Europa bo¤r g(cid:229) fo¤re fo¤r att a¤ndra p(cid:229) detta skamliga faktum. Inom Europa bo¤r man bo¤rja fundera o¤ver vad politisk asyl och bindande (cid:229)tagande att ta emot flyktingar och ge dem arbete i Europeiska unionens medlemsstater inneba¤r fo¤r ett civiliserat samha¤lle. Till fo¤ljd av Schengenavtalet a¤r Apulien inte endast en italiensk, utan en europeisk gra¤nsregion. Kan r(cid:229)det mot bakgrund av detta snarast mo¤jligt och p(cid:229) ett kraftfullt sa¤tt ta itu med kurdproblemet p(cid:229) gemenskapsniv(cid:229) och omedelbart involvera FN:s sa¤kerhetsr(cid:229)d? Om kurdfr(cid:229)gan ignoreras finns det risk att problemet o¤kar lavinartat, b(cid:229)de genom flykt till andra europeiska la¤nder och genom en farlig va¤pnad konflikt som inte la¤ngre kan kontrolleras och som f(cid:229)r katastrofala fo¤ljder.

De olika demografiska och ekonomiska tendenserna i la¤nderna som gra¤nsar till unionens sydo¤stra del kan endast leda till att flyktingv(cid:229)gen o¤kar, vilket stod klart vid polischefernas mo¤te i Rom nyligen. Mot bakgrund av de politiska principerna, den o¤verstatliga dimensionen, brottsligheten och det faktum att situationen fo¤rva¤rras, a¤r det no¤dva¤ndigt att EU snarast mo¤jligt vidtar enhetliga (cid:229)tga¤rder som dels syftar till att p(cid:229) la¤mpligt och enhetligt sa¤tt ta itu med situationen p(cid:229) unionens territorium, dels till att utarbeta en politik fo¤r att p(cid:229) platsen lo¤sa de politiska och socioekonomiska problem som ligger till grund fo¤r detta fenomen

text: C 73/54 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 9. 3. 98 consider including in its proposed instrument the funda- mental ILO Conventions on forced labour and on discriminations, as well as the 1999 new ILO Convention on Child labour in the foreseeable future. Brussels, 10 December 1997. The President of the Economic and Social Committee Tom JENKINS Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) applying Article 6 of Council Regulations (EC) Nos 3281/94 and 1256/96 on multiannual generalized tariff preferences schemes in respect of certain industrial and agricultural products originating in developing countries, excluding the most advanced beneficiary countries from entitlement to generalized tariff preferences’ (98/C 73/16) On 14 November 1997, the Council consulted the Economic and Social Committee, in pursuance of Article 198 of the EC Treaty, on the above-mentioned proposal. The Section for External Relations, Trade and Development Policy, which was instructed to prepare the Committee’s work on this subject, adopted its opinion, by a unanimous vote, on 25 November 1997. The rapporteur working without a study group was Mr Giesecke. At its 350th plenary session held on 10 and 11 December 1997 (meeting of 10 December) the Committee adopted the opinion set out below, with 119 votes in favour and 6 abstentions. 1. Introduction The generalized tariff preferences scheme (GSP) 1. 1. was radically revised in respect of the 1994-1997 period (1). A key aim of the new multiannual scheme was to secure a decisive improvement in the transparency and predictability of the GSP vis-à-vis the earlier quota- and ceiling-based provisions. Transparency and predictability are important to both suppliers and administrations in the poorer developing countries which seek to focus their export drives on transparent markets. These factors are also in the interests of importers in the EU Member States who must have adequate incentives to establish new and stable sources of supply. (1) Cf: Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) applying a three-year scheme of generalized tariff preferences (1995- 1997) in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries and the Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) extending into 1995 the application of Regulations (EEC) No 3833/90, (EC) No 3835/90 and No 3900/91 applying generalized tariff preferences in respect of certain agricultural products originating in developing countries. COM(94) 337 final. A new possibility has been introduced whereby 1. 2. GSP benefits for developing countries can be tapered off once they have attained a higher level of GNP and exporting capacity. The overall volume of imports subject to preferential regimes should however be maintained, in accordance with the principle of ‘global neutrality’; i. e. the poorer developing countries should benefit from savings in this respect. Provision has also been made for special trade 1. 3. incentives — which have in the meantime been drawn up — to promote good practice by individual developing countries in respect of social provisions and environmen- tal protection. 2. Commission proposal The Commission proposes (2) that South Korea, 2. 1. Singapore and Hong Kong be withdrawn, on the basis of objective and clearly-defined prosperity criteria, from the list of countries benefiting from the GSP. (2) COM(97) 533 final. 9. 3. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 73/55 2. 2. In the Financial Statement set out at the end of the draft Regulation, the expected customs gains in 1997 are estimated at ECU 40,3 million; this amount should in future be made available to the poorer developing countries. 3. 4. The ESC also welcomes the application of the principle of neutrality as provided for in the financial statement. The ESC urges that the volume of aid released in this way should be allocated to poorer developing countries as soon as possible. 2. 3. Exclusion of the three countries from the GSP losing the benefits of the regional will not entail cumulation mechanism relating to the origin of products. 2. 4. The new system of incentives to promote particu- larly good practice as regards social provisions and environmental protection comes into force on 1 January 1998. 3. Comments by the ESC In its opinion of 20 October 1994 (1) the ESC 3. 1. broadly welcomed the fundamental review of the GSP. The ESC strongly urged that the overall procedures be considerably simplified. It took the view that such a step would be just as much in the interest of the poorer developing countries as of EU importers. 3. 2. In view of the fact that the ESC had also called for priority to assisting particularly poor developing countries, the three it welcomes the exclusion of countries in question. A number of particularly competi- tive categories of products were excluded from the GSP since 1996 (see Appendix). 3. 3. The ESC draws attention to the absence of transitional provisions under Article 20 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3281/94 in respect of ‘goods afloat’. 3. 5. The ESC also welcomes the Commission pro- posal that the regional cumulation mechanism in respect of the origin of products should not be affected by the removal of states from the GSP; Singapore in particular, participates in this mechanism within the framework of ASEAN. The Commission’s proposal in this respect will mean that industrial cooperation between these states is not disrupted. A number of derogations to the rules governing the origin of products which have come into force recently in respect of some developing countries in southern and south-east Asia have already somewhat impaired the transparency of the system as a whole. 3. 6. The ESC has already welcomed the special arrangements to promote particularly positive action in respect of social provisions and environmental protec- tion, but it has also drawn attention to the problems which could arise in this context (2). The ESC reiterates its view that this promising idea will only be effective if it does not make the whole system less transparent and predictable, which could very easily happen. The ESC has noted with interest that the revised 3. 7. GSP has brought about higher levels of transparency and predictability, with a beneficial impact both as regards exporters and administrations in the developing countries and as regards EU importers. The ESC is concerned that the transparency and predictability of the whole scheme could be jeopardized and it asks the Commission to consider these aspects very carefully, when deciding on the matter; it also urges the Com- mission to monitor the impact of these measures and to include the ESC amongst the recipients of its annual reports.

Onderhavig voorstel strekt ertoe, aanvullende financiering te bieden ten behoeve van het actieprogram- ma voor de douane in de Gemeenschap (Douane 2000) gedurende het tijdvak 1998-2000. Het Comité had hierover reeds in september 1995 positief geadviseerd (1). 1. 2. Douane 2000 wordt hoofdzakelijk via het IDA- programma gefinancierd. IDA loopt op 31 december 1997 af, terwijl Douane 2000 tot en met 31 december 2000 doorloopt. Daarom is een adequate aanvullende financiering voor de jaren 1998-2000 geboden. 2. 1. De Commissie stelt derhalve voor, het financie¨le kader van Beschikking nr. 210/97/EG (2) tot de jaren 1998-2000 uit te breiden. 2. 2. Voorts wil zij de middelen voor de informati- seringscomponent van Douane 2000 van 23 miljoen tot 58 miljoen ecu verhogen. 3. Opmerkingen 3. 1. Het voorstel van de Commissie verdient bijval. (1) PB C 301 van 13. 11. 1995. (2) PB L 33 van 4. 2. 1997, blz. 24. 9. 3. 98 NL Publicatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen C 73/17 3. 2. Dit geldt met name voor de prioriteitenstelling, op grond waarvan nagenoeg de helft van de middelen is gereserveerd voor het opzetten van het Nieuw Systeem voor Communautair Douanevervoer (NCTS) en de harmonisering van systemen voor gegevensuitwisseling tussen lid-staten en Commissie (CCN/CSI). 3. 3. Het Comité benadrukte het belang van beide doelstellingen reeds in zijn adviezen over Douane 2000 en het actieplan voor het Europese douanevervoer (1). 3. 4. Het Commissiedocument bevat aan het slot een „indicatieve uitsplitsing van de informatiseringsmaatre- gelen” over de verschillende systemen. Omdat een en (1) PB C 355 van 21. 11. 1997. Brussel, 10 december 1997. ander slechts ramingen betreft, beveelt het Comité aan, de middelen flexibel, overeenkomstig de behoeften van de afzonderlijke systemen, te verdelen. 3. 5. Voorts verzoekt het de Commissie, hem jaarlijks verslag te doen over doel en efficie¨ntie van de desbetref- fende uitgaven. 3. 6. Dit verslag moet ook duidelijke informatie bevat- ten over verschuivingen in de verdeling van de middelen over de systemen. 3. 7. Het is van groot belang dat de Gemeenschap haar toepassingen op douanegebied op de internationaal erkende UN/EDIFACT-norm afstemt. Zodoende kan tevens voor de wenselijke communicatie met het bedrijfs- leven worden gezorgd. De voorzitter van het Economisch en Sociaal Comité T. JENKINS Advies van het Economisch en Sociaal Comité over het „Voorstel voor een verordening (EG) van het Europees Parlement en de Raad tot wijziging van Verordening (EEG) nr. 2913/92 tot vaststelling van het Communautair Douanewetboek (Douanevervoer)” (98/C 73/05) De Raad heeft op 4 december 1997 besloten, overeenkomstig artikel 100 A van het EG-Verdrag, het Economisch en Sociaal Comité te raadplegen over het voornoemde voorstel. De Afdeling voor industrie, handel, ambacht en diensten, die met de voorbereiding van de desbetreffende werkzaamheden was belast, heeft haar advies op 3 december 1997 goedgekeurd. Rapporteur was de heer Giesecke. Het Economisch en Sociaal Comité heeft tijdens zijn 350e Zitting van 10 en 11 december 1997 (vergadering van 10 december) het volgende advies uitgebracht, dat met 106 stemmen vo´ o´r, 2 tegen, bij 2 onthoudingen werd goedgekeurd. 1. Inleiding 2. Het Commissievoorstel 1. 1. Het op 1 januari 1994 in werking getreden EG-Douanewetboek bevat de randvoorwaarden voor het gemeenschappelijke douanerecht. Het Douanewet- boek moeten aan de in de loop van de tijd veranderde eisen worden aangepast. 1. 2. De voorschriften moeten eenvoudiger en helder- der worden geformuleerd ten behoeve van zowel het bedrijfsleven als de douaneadministraties. 2. 1. Onderhavig voorstel tot wijziging van Verorde- ning (EG) nr. 2913/92 tot vaststelling van het Commu- nautair Douanewetboek strekt tot aanpassingen met betrekking tot het douanevervoer en vormen goeddeels een vervolg op het Actieplan voor het douanevervoer in Europa (1).

text: C 73/46 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 9. 3. 98 Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee on the ‘Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) introducing a scheme to compensate for the additional costs incurred in the marketing of certain fishery products from the Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands and the French department of Guyana as a result of those regions’ remoteness’ (98/C 73/11) On 9 September 1997 the Council decided to consult the Economic and Social Committee, under Articles 43 and 198 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the above-mentioned proposal. The Section for Agriculture and Fisheries, which was responsible for preparing Committee’s work on the subject, adopted its opinion on 7 November 1997. The rapporteur was Mr Bento Gonçalves. At its 350th plenary session (meeting of 10 December 1997), the Economic and Social Committee adopted the following opinion by 34 votes with two abstentions. 1. The Commission proposal reports the continuation of the conditions and background underlying (a) Council Decisions 89/687/EEC, 91/314/EEC and 91/315/EEC, which led to the establishment of programmes of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Com- munity’s most remote regions, the Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands and the French overseas departments (Poseima, Poseicon and Poseidom), and (b) the Declar- ation on the outermost regions of the Community annexed to the Treaty on European Union. 2. The Committee also considers that the content of its earlier opinion (1) remains relevant, and provides grounds for the conclusion reached in the present opinion. The Committee draws attention to the forwarding 3. in good time of the report (2), which it had called for in point 3. 1 of its previous opinion, as a result of which it will be able to assess the application of the compensation system for the regions in question and its benefits for their economies in general, and the improvements seen in the social situation of the populations concerned. 4. The tables and comments contained in the report are informative and clearly show the effects of the improvements achieved by the various actors involved, especially the rise in exports with evident benefits in terms of increased employment and higher incomes for the populations in question. The Commission proposal updates the payment 5. amounts in the light, in particular, of the ecu exchange rate and the extra costs resulting from the regions’ remoteness, and, in the following points, extends support to new species: Article 2: 1 (b) 2 (b) and (c) 3 (c), (d), (e) and (f). 6. The Committee underscores the need to preserve fish stocks, inter alia by ruling out any aid for fishing of juvenile species. By the same token when aid is being awarded, preference should be given to small and medium-sized undertakings and local non-industrial fishing activities.
