Points of order

The following spoke: Posselt regretted that Question Time had been shortened and wondered why there were fewer Com- missioners to answer questions; on the Irish referendum on ratifying the Treaty of Nice: Hans-Peter Martin who called for this issue to be placed on the agenda (the President replied that Parliament had already satisfied his request as the House had decided to postpone the joint debate on human rights, which meant there was more time to examine the matter), Bonde who supported this request (the President reminded Members of the provisions of Rule 111(1)), Helmer, Andrews, Gallagher, Hannan, Bill Miller who also spoke on the outcome of the previous week’s election in the UK, McCartin on Mr Helmer’s remarks, Helmer who made a personal statement on the previous speaker’s remarks and in response to Mr Bill Miller, Read in response to Mr Helmer’s remarks, Haarder, Heaton-Harris who also spoke on the UK election, Frahm in response to remarks by Mr Haarder, and Blak on Mr Haarder’s remarks; Perry, on the basis of Rule 174 relating to petitions addressed to Parliament and, in particular, on the fact that Lloyds of London had criticised one of its names who had lodged a complaint with the Commission; he considered that this was also an infringement of his right to petition; C 53 E/12 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Monday 11 June 2001 Posselt, following on from his earlier remarks, asked why two of the three Commissioners scheduled for Question Time had been removed from the list and why the relevant questions would now be dealt with under general questions (the President replied that the two Commissioners concerned would no longer attend Question Time because they had not received enough questions); Van den Berg, referring the overturning of Joaquín José Martínez’s death sentence in Tampa, Florida, called on the President to speak at the Göteborg European Council on this issue to reaffirm Parlia- ment’s position against the death penalty, which was different from that of the United States (the President said that she had already intended to do so and announced that the Bureau had decided that Parliament would co-organise a conference on abolishing the death penalty to be held on 21 and 22 June); Schulz asked what progress had been made in the request for the waiver of immunity of Mr Dell’Utri and, as there had been none, called on the President to take up the matter with the Spanish authorities (the President replied that she had still not received an official request and stated that it was a for the President of the Spanish Supreme Court to decide what action to take); Cohn-Bendit spoke out strongly against the death penalty, and secondly hoped that the Irish referendum debate would be more than just a discussion between spokespersons of political groups; Sauquillo Pérez del Arco announced that the President had written to him with different information to the reply she had just given to Mr Schulz (the President withdrew her previous reply stating that the Supreme Court had subsequently sent her further documents; she announced that Mr Duff had been appointed rapporteur on the issue with a view to amending the Rules relating to waiver of immunity); Alyssandrakis on the situation in FYROM (the President reminded the House of Wednesday’s address by the President of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia); Lulling on the UK election; Schulz again called on the President to take up the matter of the waiver of immunity of Mr Dell’Utri with the Spanish authorities.

CHAPTER I

GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. Incineration plants shall be designed, equipped and operated in such a way that the requirements of this Regulation are complied with.

2. The operator of an incineration plant shall take the necessary precautions with regard to taking receipt of animal by-products to prevent or limit direct risks to human or animal health in so far as practicable.

CHAPTER II

OPERATING PROVISIONS

3. Incineration plants shall be designed, equipped, constructed and operated in such a way that the temperature of the incineration gases after the last blast air injection rises in a controlled and homogeneous manner, even under the most unfavourable circumstances, to 850 °C as measured in the immediate vicinity of the furnace’s inner wall or another representative point in the furnace approved by the competent authority, and is kept at that level for two seconds.

4. Each line in large-capacity incineration plants shall be equipped with at least one auxiliary burner. This burner shall start automatically when the temperature of the combustion gases falls below 850 °C after the last blast air injection. It shall also be used when starting or stopping the plant to ensure that a temperature of 850 °C is maintained throughout the procedure and for so long as unburnt waste remains in the combustion chamber.

5. Large-capacity incineration plants shall be equipped and operated with automatic systems in operation to prevent the feed of waste (a) when starting, until a temperature of 850 °C has been reached, and (b) when a temperature of 850 °C is not maintained.

6. Animal by-products must be placed directly in the fire without direct handling.

CHAPTER III

EMISSIONS INTO WATER

7. Incineration plants and associated stores for animal by- products shall be designed and operated in such a way as to avoid prohibited and unintentional emissions of pollutants into soil, surface waters and groundwater in accordance with the provisions of Community law in this field. There shall moreover be capacity for storing polluted rainwater from the area surrounding the incineration plant and water which has been polluted through spillage or fire-fighting.

This storage capacity shall be such that the water can if necessary be monitored and purified before being discharged.

CHAPTER IV

RESIDUES

8. Residues from the operation of the incineration plant shall be minimised as regards both quantity and harmfulness. Depending on the circumstances, residues shall be recycled directly in the plant or outside it in accordance with the Com- munity law in force.

Transport and temporary storage of dry residues in the form of dust, e.g. furnace ash and dry residues from the purifi- cation of combustion gases, shall be performed in such a way as to avoid dispersal into the environment (e.g. in closed containers).

CHAPTER V

MONITORING AND SUPERVISION

9. Measuring equipment shall be installed and techniques used to monitor parameters, conditions and mass concentrations which apply to the combustion process.

10. The authorisation of the competent authority or the conditions attaching thereto shall incorporate provisions concerning measuring requirements.

11. The automated monitoring equipment shall be inspected and tested annually in relation to installation and operation. Calibration shall be performed by means of parallel measurement using reference methods at least every third year.

12. The competent authority shall determine where tests or measurements are to be performed. 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/107

CHAPTER VI REQUIREMENTS REGARDING MEASUREMENTS 13. The competent authority shall, either by means of instructions in the permit conditions or by means of generally binding rules, ensure continuous measurement at the incineration plant of the temperature in the immediate vicinity of the furnace’s inner wall or at another representative point in the furnace in accordance with what the competent authority permits, and of the acidity, pressure, temperature and water vapour content of the flue gases. 14. The residence time, minimum temperature and acidity of the flue gases shall be monitored at least once when use of the incineration plant begins and under the worst conceiv- able operating conditions. 15. All measured values shall be recorded, processed and reproduced in an appropriate manner so that the competent authority can check, in accordance with procedures determined by the same authority, that the operating conditions permitted in this Regulation are being complied with.

CHAPTER VII ABNORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS 16. In the event of a breakdown, the operator shall limit or halt the operation as soon as practically possible until normal operation can be resumed.

European Parliament legislative resolution on the proposal for a Council framework decision on combating trafficking in human beings (COM(2000) 854 C5-0042/2001 2001/0024(CNS))

(Consultation procedure)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission proposal to the Council (COM(2000) 854) (1),

having been consulted by the Council pursuant to Articles 29, 31 and 34(2) (b) of the EU Treaty (C5-0042/2001),

having regard to Rules 106 and 67 of its Rules of Procedure,

6. Information and communication technologies in developing countries

A5-0191/2001

European Parliament resolution on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and developing countries (2000/2327(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to Rule 163 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Development and Cooperation (A5-0191/2001), C 53 E/122 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Tuesday 12 June 2001 A. whereas the ICT revolution presents developing countries with, potentially, great possibilities to improve their economic situation, fight poverty and to improve information exchange among all sections of their populations,

B. whereas there continues to be a considerable difference between developing and industrialised countries as regards the benefits gained from information and communication technologies, since benefits are conditional both on the condition of their information and communications infrastructure and on the development capacity of their economic and legal systems and education and training capacity,

C. whereas, at the same time, the ICT revolution risks marginalising the developing countries further, as a result of today’s radical changes, if not enough is done to bridge the already wide ‘digital divide’, between countries as well as within,

D. whereas within the developing countries there is a considerable imbalance as regards the availability of information and communications resources and, as a result, there is a danger that parallel societies will emerge in countries in which, in the long term, only a small proportion of the population will have access to new networks, services and facilities and be able to use them easily,

E. whereas approximately 80 % of the world’s population live in developing countries and have very limited access to information and modern means of communication,

F. whereas information and communication technologies afford possibilities of making a major contribution to direct democracy by spreading means of expression and, in so doing, can strengthen civil society and cultural identity and permit direct involvement beyond the confines of time and space, too,

G. whereas, 700 million people are estimated to be online as of the end of 2001 but, at the same time, more than 2 billion people have never made a telephone call,

H. whereas a constraint for the development of ICT in some developing countries is the lack of appropriate legal and regulatory frameworks, which often make it difficult to attract necessary investment, particularly from the private sector,

I. whereas the lack of access to energy often constitutes another major obstacle for the development of ICT in developing countries,

J. having regard to the significance of radio as a key medium in information dissemination, but also of the print media and national and regional television channels’ offerings, and whereas own productions play a special role with regard to cultural identity and hence conventional media, above all radio, must be comprehensively used for information strategies and for securing citizens’ commitment,

K. whereas the information society is in a position to fundamentally transform how work is organised and education and society as such by removing spatial and temporal barriers and offering a broad range of new instruments allowing developing countries to make technological leaps with none of the intervening stages which the industrialised countries have gone through, if those instruments are primarily used to benefit society,

L. whereas in the area of information and advisory services and logistical assistance, e.g. in agriculture, health care, transport and manufacturing, as well as in the services sector, knowledge which can be retrieved locally and internationally can be disseminated more quickly and more cheaply by means of ICT,

M. whereas, capacity building and training for both individuals and institutions are absolutely necessary in order to exploit the potential benefits of ICT,

N. whereas, in the private sector, there is considerable scope for deploying ICT in a way which opens up completely new openings for small businesses and micro-firms in particular and, in this process, innovative and small scale approaches such as opportunities through micro-credit schemes, provided that the requisite infrastructure is available (for example by operating local telephone services or cybercafés), can be an important component in improving access to ICT for the poorest sections of the population, 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/123

Tuesday 12 June 2001 O. whereas the EU, being the world’s largest donor, and given the fact that few other donors have taken on this challenge, should take the lead in formulating and implementing ICT policies that will work for the benefit of developing countries and the poor,

1. Believes that, to ensure that ICT-related policies can be implemented and achieve socially balanced results in developing countries, an effort must continue to be made to guarantee every human being’s birthright to universal access to education and training;

2. Emphasises strongly that the use of ICT in developing countries can have an important impact in the fight against poverty, as regards sectors such as education, health, environment, rural development and tourism;

3. Believes that ICT can be an effective tool in empowering people in developing countries to develop and participate in democracy, creating good governance and with respect to strengthening human rights;

4. Reaffirms the fact that a reliable and transparent legal and regulatory environment must be created in developing countries which is commensurate with WTO commitments on regulatory principles for basic and telecommunications services, represents investment incentives for the public and private sectors and includes a pluralistic information policy;

5. Believes it is necessary to support countries in the process of consolidating the democratisation processes which have been started and, in the process, to guarantee media freedom and independence by creating a regulatory framework which permits a balance between economic, development-related and participatory aspects;

6. Emphasises that ICT can support already existing development strategies and programs, making the delivery of these more effective as well as improving the final result;

7. Stresses that service universality not only must cover the technical interchangeability of technology and data and to network interconnectability, but also extends to the right to affordable access for all users and all potential users and providers;

8. Believes that ICT could make a positive contribution to job-prospects for developing countries, including the possibility of attracting service sector employment, which is currently concentrated to the industrialised countries;

9. Stresses that there are potentially a host of opportunities through the targeted use of multi-media services for distance learning across regions, countries and even continents and that the capabilities of telemedicine and other socially oriented services can offset gaps in coverage and be an important complement to mobile services;

10. Considers it appropriate to work for the extension of infrastructure at universities in order, through Internet networking, to permit all researchers to take part in global discussions and learning processes;

11. Believes that ICT in development policy must aim to ensure that developing countries can rapidly take advantage of the new technologies and to ensure that the countries/groups that do not currently have the possibility to benefit do not fall further behind;

12. Points out in this connection that the least-developed countries in particular need to develop strategies which, through network access sharing at Telecentres, for instance, allow a higher degree of dissemination, potentially very much benefiting local small businesses;

13. Fears that, should the costs of telephone calls over the fixed and mobile networks remain high, individual delivery to households in rural areas will continue to be an exception, and therefore powerful encouragement must continue to be given for public access to card or coin telephones in all areas of countries; C 53 E/124 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Tuesday 12 June 2001 14. Considers it appropriate to sound out all technical possibilities when infrastructure facilities are provided and, in particular, to consider using mobile radio systems and solar-powered infrastructure;

15. Continues to consider it appropriate to give particular support for the nationwide equipping of all households with radio equipment and to push ahead with, and expand, the use of radio to provide information on health education questions, prevention and treatment (in particular for information campaigns on combating AIDS), but also information on election systems, etc.;

16. Believes that ICT access and improvement should be one of the targeted sectors eligible for support under the new private sector support programme in the EDF and in the forthcoming proposal for private sector support under the EU budget;

17. Expects new education, training and employment opportunities for the informal sector, too, for persons who have hitherto had little access to media and information offerings, in particular girls and women, and believes that micro-credit schemes, phone centres, internet centres, etc., can improve access to ICT and thereby have direct impact on supporting the local economy and consequently are areas which merit EU support;

18. Stresses that the creation of national information structures is a protracted and high-cost process which therefore requires a partnership approach between government, the private sector, local authorities and participating organisations, and stresses that support and dialogue concerning the necessary legal and regulatory environment in the area of market access, regulation, competition and freedom of establishment should be a key component of development cooperation for ICT;

19. Believes that support and dialogue in the area of sustainable energy is a necessary component of ICT development cooperation;

20. Calls on the Commission to formulate and develop a single and coherent policy for ICT within EU development policy, and to make sure it is frequently updated;

21. Emphasises that in order to bridge the digital divide, mainstreaming of ICT components in sector programs is only part of the solution; therefore urges the Commission to, in close cooperation with other major donor agencies, address the problems of connectivity, telecommunications reform, affordable accessibility, capacity-building, and content development in developing countries;

22. Considers it appropriate to foster developing countries’ access to the information society by means of suitable measures in the area of human resources, capacity-building, technology transfer and involvement in the Community’s research and development activities;

23. Calls on the Commission to increase quality and quantity of the ICT portfolio within the provisions of its communication on development policy (COM(2000) 212), for instance, in regard to regional integration, trade, health, education, food security and sustainable rural development strategies, environment and institutional capacity building, preferably by replacing the priority ‘Transport’ with ‘Communication, transport and sustainable energy’, as well as through effective mainstreaming;

24. Calls on the Commission to ensure that it has the appropriate numbers of staff to ensure in-house knowledge in project implementation; suggests on this basis that the Commission create an eDevelopment Unit in the EuropeAid Co-operation Office that can assist the sectoral units in mainstreaming ICT in development, as well as hosting the EC’s Management Information System (MIS) and databases for development cooperation, linking with other departments and development agencies, promoting knowledge and experiences in these processes, and ensuring in-house training of staff;

25. Calls on the Commission to ensure that the individual country strategy papers explicitly include a description of the use of ICT; 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/125

Tuesday 12 June 2001 26. Calls on the Commission to continue the positive work in the G8 Dot.force and to take the lead both as a policy co-ordinator and an innovator in other relevant international fora; believes this could include supporting the DOT force secretariat and participating actively, with Member States, in policy innovation and co-ordination; (in taking on the practical task of co-ordination);

27. Calls on the Commission to take the lead in co-ordination between Member States activities and other donors activities;

28. Regards cooperation arrangements with non-governmental organisations to draw up and implement development programmes for ICT utilisation as desirable;

29. Calls on the Commission to formulate how key thematic budget items like the NGO and democracy lines could contain provisions in favour of ICT within their respective themes;

30. Calls on the EU to support measures to increase the possibility for ICT use in local languages and to promote local content and stresses that all measures must be geared to the specific nature of the region in question in order to take account of the specific cultural, economic, social and political circumstances of partner states;

31. Calls on the Commission to ensure that co-ordination is maintained through frequent meetings in the EC / Member states Expert Group, including representatives from relevant stakeholder groups, particularly civil society and the private sector;

32. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to define a ‘division of labour’ in the ICT field; believes that this could serve as a test-case to see whether the long-standing intentions of coordination, coherence and complementarity can be put into practice;

33. Welcomes the announcement by the Commission at the Development Council of 31 May 2001 that it will submit a report to the November 2001 Council, and invites it to prepare a follow-up report for 2003;

34. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission and the Council.

7. Export and return of cultural goods

A5-0122/2001

European Parliament resolution on the Commission report to the Council, the European Parlia- ment and the Economic and Social Committee on the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 on the export of cultural goods and Council Directive 93/7/EEC on the return of cultural objects unlawfully removed from the territory of a Member State (COM(2000) 325 C5-0509/2000 2000/2246(COS))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission report (COM(2000) 325 C5-0509/2000),

having regard to Articles 30 and 151 of the EC Treaty,

having regard to Rule 47(1) of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education, the Media and Sport and the opinion of the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs (A5-0122/ 2001), C 53 E/126 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Tuesday 12 June 2001 A. whereas illegal trade in cultural goods often causes irreparable damage to the national and European cultural heritage and whereas this trade has undergone a noticeable increase over the last few years, reaching alarming proportions, as works of art and archaeological sites within and outside the EU are steadily plundered and dispersed,

B. whereas there is a danger that, as a result of the impending enlargement of the European Union and the consequent increase in the internal market, the situation will get even worse, since it is likely to become more difficult to control the illegal trade in cultural goods within the European Union and across its longer external borders,

C. whereas the above issues must form an integral part of the enlargement negotiations, to be dealt with in the discussions on culture and the internal market and on third pillar matters, particularly those relating to customs and police cooperation and action to combat organised crime,

D. whereas catalogues of cultural goods belonging to institutions or public and private bodies in each of the Member States are currently not sufficiently comprehensive and, in some cases, do not even exist,

E. whereas there are shortcomings in the collection and forwarding of information both between Member States and inside individual Member States,

F. whereas the European Union must effectively support the Member States in the work of conserving and retrieving their national cultural assets and the cultural heritage of European importance and therefore also in the combating of illegal trade in those goods,

G. whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 of 9 December 1992 on the export of cultural goods (1) and Council Directive 93/7/EEC of 15 March 1993 on the return of cultural objects unlawfully removed from the territory of a Member State (2) have hitherto been the only legal instruments at Community level aimed specifically at combating illegal trade in cultural goods,

H. whereas, although Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 and Directive 93/7/EEC were adopted by the Council in 1992 and 1993, many of the Member States delayed transposing the Directive into national law and the Commission has therefore indicated that it is still unable to present a realistic assessment of their effectiveness,

I. whereas most of the Member States and the Commission take the view, however, that both Directive 93/7/EEC and Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 have already had a positive effect on the protection of cultural goods, by raising awareness of the protection of national cultural treasures among those involved in international trade and prompting a realisation of the importance of protecting cultural goods at European level,

J. whereas, however, various Member States have expressed doubts about the real impact of the Com- munity instruments which are the subject of the Commission’s report on illegal exports of cultural goods,

K. whereas the Commission draws attention in its report to the allegedly unsatisfactory cooperation between the competent customs authorities and the cultural authorities of the Member States and between the authorities at Community level; whereas, however, the ITCG site for the exchange of information relating to the protection of cultural goods, to which the Commission itself referred in connection with the IDA programme, has, inexplicably, yet to be set up,

L. whereas such cooperation could be strengthened:

by a requirement to make the granting of licences conditional on a preliminary application to the state of origin of the cultural object with a view to determining whether the object in question had been removed from that state lawfully,

by the introduction of an accompanying document certifying the origin of the object,

by establishing a computerised system to notify customs and police authorities of thefts of cultural objects;

(1) OJ L 395, 31.12.1992, p. 1. (2) OJ L 74, 27.3.1993, p. 74. 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/127

Tuesday 12 June 2001 1. Stresses the importance of the cultural heritage to national and European identity and calls for this heritage to be properly protected by all those involved;

2. Takes the view that illegal trade in cultural goods has reached such proportions that the cultural heritage of the Member States is constantly suffering significant and often irreparable damage;

3. Points out that illegal trade covers a wide spectrum of activities ranging from the export of cultural goods by their lawful owners without the necessary licences to deliberate trade in stolen property which is often carried out by criminal organisations, particularly for money-laundering purposes, and includes the appropriation and trading by natural persons of cultural goods (mainly manuscripts and archaeological finds, including from underwater archaeological sites), of whose existence the relevant authorities are unaware at the time of appropriation;

4. Considers the provisions of Directive 93/7/EEC to be inadequate, particularly the one-year limitation period, which should be extended to at least three years as provided for in the UNIDROIT Convention on the return of stolen cultural objects, instigated under the auspices of the United Nations and signed in Rome on 24 June 1995;

5. Notes that in view of the existing internal market and its impending enlargement the Member States can combat this illegal trade more effectively by ensuring better coordination between the relevant institutional bodies of the European Union;

6. Urges the Member States to ensure more effective coordination of their policies and measures aimed at combating the illegal trade in cultural goods;

7. Believes, therefore, that the European Union must attach greater importance to combating illegal trade in cultural goods within its jurisdiction, and considers it urgently necessary for the Commission to take action;

8. Calls on the Commission to conduct a campaign in the Member States and the candidate countries, aimed at raising public awareness of the adverse effects of the illegal trade in cultural goods;

9. Calls on the Commission, the Member States and the candidate countries to obtain from the owners of cultural goods comprehensive, public catalogues of all such goods that are in the possession of institutions such as the Church, or of public and private foundations or bodies;

10. Calls on the Commission to consider the possibility of submitting a proposal to tighten up Regu- lation (EEC) No 3911/92 by introducing a requirement for Member States to:

(a) make the granting of a licence conditional on a preliminary application to the State of origin of the cultural object for the purpose of determining whether it was removed from that State lawfully;

(b) introduce a mandatory accompanying document certifying, inter alia, the origin of the object and the credentials of the person submitting the request.

11. Considers that although the combating of illegal trade in cultural goods is primarily a cultural policy matter, it also falls within the province of the Commissioners responsible for the internal market and for justice and home affairs; the Commissioners responsible need to adopt a coordinated approach, therefore, to enable wide-ranging action to be taken and all the instruments at the Community’s disposal to be used;

12. Calls on the Commission, at the instigation of the Commissioner for Culture, to draw up by the end of the year 2001 a Green Paper, or at least a communication, on illegal trade in cultural goods containing the following:

(a) a description of the current situation of the illegal trade in cultural goods in Europe, to include a detailed and up-to-date list of the main works of art that have been stolen and not recovered since the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 and Directive 93/7/EEC;

(b) a more comprehensive analysis of the effects of Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 and Directive 93/7/EEC, as part of a comparative analysis of the national legislation of the Member States;

(c) an assessment of the probable implications of the accession of the new Member States; C 53 E/128 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Tuesday 12 June 2001 (d) proposals for practical measures, at European level, to combat illegal trade; (e) an assessment of the possibility of recommending that Member States establish a standard multilingual form containing information about the nature and characteristic features of the unlawfully removed object and, if possible, a photograph of it while providing, in the case of valuable items, for the relevant information to be entered in the Schengen Information System (SIS II) (1) and the Customs Information System (CIS) (2); (f) the setting up of an Internet site on which forms and pictures relating to the stolen items would be freely accessible; (g) an assessment of the possibility of the Union (in connection with its powers in the area of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters) or the Community (in connection with the exercise of the powers conferred on it already by Community acts) acceding to the Unidroit Convention; 13. Calls on the Council, Commission and Member States, pending the publication of the above document, to introduce as a matter of the utmost urgency policies aimed at combating the illegal trade in cultural goods, such as increased and better-coordinated police activity and closer judicial cooperation between the Member States;

14. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to set up a digital information network under the eEurope action plan, covering cultural goods that are illegally appropriated and traded; 15. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission, and the governments and parliaments of the Member States and candidate countries.

Enlargement

1. Recalls the fact that the reunification of Europe in an area of peace, security, prosperity and stability remains the historic task of the European Union and the definitive challenge in Europe;

2. Warns about the lack of momentum of the enlargement process due to the fact that in the Member States the emphasis now lies on the consequences of enlargement for existing EU policies; acknowledges that the principles of the current cohesion policy need to be maintained; invites EU governments to prepare society properly for enlargement;

3. Calls on the European Council to ensure that enlargement negotiations are pursued at an accelerated pace so that candidate countries with whom negotiations have been concluded may have the prospect of participating in the 2004 European elections;

Wednesday 13 June 2001 4. Warns of the impact on public opinion in the candidate countries of any delay in accession, and notes with great concern the falling support for accession in Central and Eastern Europe, requiring more efforts by the governments concerned to convince their citizens of the advantages and benefits of joining the EU;

5. Welcomes the recent agreements reached on a common EU position for negotiations with candidate countries;

6. Calls on the European Council to ensure that, in future negotiations on enlargement, there is no ‘bundling’ between issues such as freedom of movement and readjustment of the financial perspectives and that each candidate country’s application is treated on its merits; agrees that, in a limited number of areas, transitional periods could be provided for but on condition that they be made as short as possible;

7. Regrets moves towards long transition periods for the free movement of labour and calls on as many Member States as possible to opt for the shortest possible period in this respect;

Future of the Union

8. Believes that reform of the Treaties should be preceded by a large-scale and detailed public debate and that this debate should take place at European and national level; calls for the establishment of national committees or other types of bodies chosen by the national authorities, to be responsible for organising this debate;

9. Believes that the final outcome of the forthcoming reform will depend essentially on how it is prepared, and therefore calls for a Convention to be established with an organisational set-up and mandate similar to those of the Convention which drafted the Charter of Fundamental Rights and:

made up of members of the national parliaments, of the European Parliament, of the Commission and of the governments, as well as of observers from the applicant countries,

responsible for drawing up constitutional proposals to serve as a basis for the discussions of the IGC,

and to start work at the beginning of 2002;

10. Believes that the IGC should be convened for the second half of 2003 so that it can finalise its work by the end of that year;

11. Notes the result of the Irish referendum which rejects the Treaty of Nice; insists that the European Council accept full responsibility not only for the drafting of the treaty but also for its ratification; reaffirms its own insistence on a radical reform of the method for future treaty amendment, involving a transparent process of constitutional development with broad participation by citizens;

Sustainable development

12. Welcomes the special prominence given by the Swedish Presidency to the theme of sustainable development and calls on the Göteborg European Council to give significant new impetus to a European policy aiming at a long-term development strategy, including economic, social, and environmental aspects; considers it essential that the European Council should develop a strong political leadership in this field; welcomes the Commission’s consultation paper for the preparation of a European Union strategy for sustainable development, but regrets that it was not forwarded to the European Parliament in time for it to give its opinion on the specific proposals contained therein;

13. Supports the strategy outlined in the consultation paper, in particular the cross-industry proposal to ensure greater coherence and cost-effectiveness for political decisions on the one hand, and the setting of priority targets and EU-level measures to meet the greatest sustainable development challenges not covered by the Lisbon strategy, namely climate change, threats to public health, depletion of natural resources and soil use on the other; 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/185

Wednesday 13 June 2001 14. Believes that in order to keep its fundamental leader-role on the international scene the EU must first and foremost define and adopt concrete and realistic internal objectives to address pressing unsustain- able trends;

15. Calls on the Commission to add the topic ‘Sustainable Food’ to the six fundamental topics of the European strategy for sustainable development and to present concrete proposals concerning urban and territorial development;

16. Is of the opinion that broad economic policy guidelines can easily incorporate the objectives of environmental sustainability and stresses that there is no contradiction but a genuine complementarity between the aim of creating jobs, economic development and sustainable development strategies;

17. Underlines that social inclusion is a key dimension of any sustainable development strategy; access to essential services of general interest is a key element in such development; promoting quality of life including the development of more and better jobs should be part of this strategy, and the social agenda, which recognises the importance of a long-term viable pensions system, should therefore be an important element in this context;

18. Stresses that there is a link between sustainability and solidarity, between regions and populations; therefore asks the Commission to draw up a declaration on ‘economic and social cohesion in the context of the enlargement of the European Union’, based on the need to place the debate on the Structural and Cohesion Funds in a positive perspective and in a spirit of solidarity in line with the Treaties and historical experience;

19. Considers that global responsibility must be a key feature of the strategy and there should therefore be a significant EU contribution to the Rio+10 Summit to be held in Johannesburg in 2002;

Proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive on universal service and users’ rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (COM(2000) 392 C5-0429/2000 2000/0183(COD))

The proposal was amended as follows:

TEXT PROPOSED AMENDMENTS BY THE COMMISSION (1) BY PARLIAMENT

Amendment 1 Recital 5a (new)

(5a) Service providers should take appropriate measures to safeguard the security of their services, if necessary in conjunction with the provider of the network, and inform subscribers of any special risks of a breach of the security of the network. Such risks may especially occur for electronic communications services over an open network such as the Inter- net. It is particularly important for subscribers and users of such services to be fully informed by their service provider of the existing security risks which are outside the scope of possible remedies by the service provider. Service providers who offer publicly available electronic communications services over the Internet should inform users and subscribers of measures they can take to protect the security of their communications, for instance by using specific types of soft- ware or encryption technologies. Security is appraised in the light of Article 17 of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (1).

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission’s Working Document (COM(2000) 241 C5-0505/2000),

having regard to the Third Asia Meeting (ASEM) held in Seoul from 19 to 21 October 2000 and to the Asia-Europe Cooperation Framework 2000 (AECF 2000) which sets out the vision, principles, objectives, priorities and mechanisms of the ASEM process for the next 10 years,

having regard to its previous resolutions on ASEM, and, in particular to the most recent ones of 4 May 1999 on the Commission working document on Perspectives and Priorities for the ASEM Process, (1) of 4 October 2000 on the Third Asia Europe summit in Seoul (ASEM III) (2) and of 16 November 2000 on the ASEM (3),

having regard to the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy and the opinion of the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy (A5-0207/2001),

A. whereas this report has been superseded by the ASEM III summit of October 2000, the European Parliament feels it should comment on developments in the ASEM process and looks forward to preparations for the ASEM IV summit, planned for the second half of 2002 in Copenhagen,

B. whereas in the past unbalanced economic relations between EU Member States and Asian countries have often caused deep social repercussions and hindered a real long term development and a genuine partnership,

C. whereas the objective of the ASEM process is to build an equal Asia-Europe partnership based on the three pillars of political, economic and cultural dialogue,

D. whereas a deepening and reinforcement of relations between the European Union and Asia in the years to come is a matter of the greatest importance for the two regions from both the political and the economic, social and cultural points of view,

E. having regard to the importance of using the ASEM as a means of encouraging international initiatives designed to promote peace, disarmament and respect for human rights internationally,

F. whereas the distinct advantages of the ASEM process to Asia-Europe relations lie in its informality, multi-dimensionality and high-level participation,

G. whereas the ASEM process has already given rise to a plethora of economic, political and cultural meetings, forums and sub-processes,

Wednesday 13 June 2001 H. regretting the fact that the EU Member States are not granting visas for private visits to the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and Defence Minister of Taiwan,

I. whereas, by refraining from devaluing the yuan, China helped to overcome the financial crisis which struck the Asian economies in 1998,

J. whereas ASEM should in future provide a forum for the informal monitoring, airing and where possible resolving of disputes concerning the application and enforcement of WTO rights and obligations prior to resorting to the formal and public dispute settlement mechanisms of the WTO itself,

K. whereas the development of robust and enforceable private property law, of non-discriminatory and de-politicised application of the rule of law and the general application of fundamental human, civil and political rights are the essential pre-conditions for the building of genuine, working democracies, regardless of constitutional arrangements; whereas these should become the overriding principles guid- ing the future work of ASEM,

L. whereas Japan is going through a crisis such as it has not seen since the end of the Second World War; whereas this situation has serious consequences in that it is preventing Japan from playing its full role in promoting democracy and economic development throughout the Asian continent,

M. concerned that the lack of a regional safety regime increases ethnic and religious tensions and the potential for inter-state conflict, and that the spread of weapons of mass destruction and missile technologies undermine stability and peace in the region,

1. Calls on the Commission and the governments of the Member States to advocate forcefully the principles and objectives set out in the recitals of this Resolution at every relevant meeting and at all levels of the ASEM process and calls on the Commission to report back to the European Parliament, at least six months prior to each ASEM summit, on the progress achieved to date on each one;

2. Welcomes the commitment of the ASEM leaders at the Seoul summit, to support human rights, democracy and the rule of law, and urges them to intensify this as the core element for the Asian-Euro- pean cooperation and dialogue on the political, economic (notably trade) or cultural levels and to include such commitments in the key ASEM documents and meetings;

3. Welcomes the objectives established in the social, cultural and educational sectors during the ASEM III summit in Seoul (October 2000) in the Asia-Europe Cooperation Framework (AECF) and calls on the Commission, the Council and the Member States to make them effective;

4. Highlights the importance, for the EU, of promoting democracy and the rule of law and calls, therefore, for any progress within the ASEM process on economic dialogue to be accompanied by progress on political dialogue in order to ensure respect for democratic principles in all of the countries involved in the process;

5. Acknowledges that the ASEM process, to date, has proved its worth as a forum for contact and active and constructive dialogue, but considers that dialogue between the EU and Asia should be stepped up to enable the process to advance;

6. Considers that in order to pursue the objectives of the ASEM process, it is important to ensure compliance with the agreements adopted at Asia-Europe meetings; calls on the Commission therefore to carry out a study prior to each meeting to ascertain the extent to which commitments made to date have been fulfilled and that it inform Parliament accordingly;

7. Urges the Members of the ASEM process to continue and to intensify the political dialogue on human rights, democracy and the rule of law so that the common basis for the cooperation among the Member States and towards third countries will be strengthened;

8. Calls on the Council and Commission to undertake joint actions in international forums, especially the UN, to promote peace, disarmament, consolidation of human rights, and defence of the rule of law; 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/229

Wednesday 13 June 2001 9. Calls on the Council Presidency to ensure that consideration of the progress made in the field of human rights, democracy and the rule of law is entered on the agenda for each ASEM summit;

10. Calls on the responsible ASEM leaders at all levels to exclude any State as a member or observer from participation in summits, meetings or programmes if that State does not respect human rights, democracy and the rule of law;

11. Welcomes the political, economic and cultural priorities of the ASEM III summit in Seoul, and in particular:

the intention to further develop ASEM dialogue and cooperation in the areas of arms control, disarmament and non proliferation of weapons of mass-destruction;

ASEM’s commitment to global issues of common concern such as migratory flows, the fight against transnational crime, illegal drug trafficking, international terrorism and piracy, racism and xenophobia as well as the welfare of women and children, health care improvement, food security and supply;

12. Calls on the Council and the Commission to adopt comprehensive measures which will enable effective action to be taken against the main infectious diseases (AIDS, tuberculosis, etc.) which ravage the countries concerned;

13. Calls on the Council and the Commission to ensure that measures are adopted which will safeguard the rights of women, prevent sex discrimination and combat female prostitution;

14. Highlights the importance, when setting new objectives and priorities, of the common principles of the fight against poverty, good governance and respect for fundamental rights and the environment and for the world trade order;

15. Calls on the Commission to present a new proposal for the preparation for the ASEM IV summit to be held in Copenhagen in 2002 as a follow-up to its working document ‘Perspectives and Priorities for the ASEM Process into the new decade’, taking into account the positive and negative aspects of the ASEM III summit as well as the following proposals from the European Parliament;

16. Considers that the two regions must coordinate their efforts to achieve broader social dialogue encompassing subjects such as sustainable development and the protection of the environment, as well as employment, child labour and social security; considers, furthermore, that the ASEM governments must respect the trade union rights of workers;

17. Calls on the Council and Commission to support action to ensure compliance with ILO agreements and resolutions on the protection of free and democratic trade-unionism, wage guarantees, collective bar- gaining, and workers’ rights;

18. Calls on the Commission and Council to intensify their efforts with a view to the enlargement of ASEM to the other countries of Asia, particularly India, and also to consider the possibility of opening the process up to Australia and New Zealand;

19. Recommends that the political pillar of the ASEM process should include a comprehensive approach on conflict prevention and peace keeping, e.g. supporting political dialogue between North and South Korea, as well as between the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan on the question of Taiwan;

20.

A5-0186/2001

European Parliament resolution on the petitions declared admissible concerning silicone implants (Petitions Nos 470/1998 and 771/1998) (2001/2068(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to Petitions Nos 470/1998 and 771/1998,

having regard to Rule 175(1) and (4) of its Rules of Procedure, relating to the examination of petitions,

having regard to Articles 21 and 194 of the EC Treaty, which lay down the right of petition,

having regard to the May 2000 STOA (Scientific and Technological Options Assessment) report on Health risks posed by silicone implants in general with special attention to breast implants (1),

having regard to the report of the Committee on Petitions and the opinions of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy and the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities (A5-0186/2001),

A. having regard to the serious problems raised by the petitioners,

B. whereas the Commission is drawing up a communication on silicone implants (programme number 2001/261 on the measures to be taken in 2001),

C. whereas at the request of the Committee on Petitions, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy and the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities have delivered their opinions,

D. whereas those opinions favour option 3 in the STOA report, which stops short of a total ban on silicone implants but calls for specific measures to be adopted and implemented as regards patient information and closer monitoring as well as product quality and basic research,

E. whereas foreign implants are being practised on ever younger people and the number of cosmetic operations is steadily increasing,

F. whereas to date there has been insufficient systematic analysis of implants,

1. Welcomes the fact that the Commission will be issuing a communication in 2001 setting out measures to ensure that implants meet the highest possible standard of safety and quality;

2. Points out that, as far as silicone implants are concerned, attention must focus primarily on the safety and quality of the products and one pre- and post-operative support;

3. Recommends in particular that the measures to be proposed should cover the following points:

(a) all patients should have access to complete information free of charge from independent experts,

(b) any advertising for breast implants for use in cosmetic surgery should carry health warnings and warnings of the risks, residual risks and sequelae inherent in every surgical operation,

(c) every person in whom an implant has been inserted should be issued with a passport listing the specifications of the implant and the post-operative precautions to take; the passport should constitute the consent form and be signed by the surgeon and the patient,

(1) PE 168.396/Fin. St. C 53 E/232 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Wednesday 13 June 2001 (d) detailed information about breast implantations, necessary follow-up operations and other follow-up measures should be recorded in the EU, and, to that end, each Member State should keep a compulsory national breast implant register, (e) the abovementioned patient register should serve as a database for long-term research into silicone implants and must be compiled in such a way as to respect the principle of confidentiality and patients’ privacy, (f) in the case of an implantation, pre- and post-operative support should comprise: a preliminary meeting with the surgeon who will be performing the operation, clear information about the residual risks and possible side-effects of an implantation and the alternative solutions, a sufficient cooling-off period, an exhaustive inquiry into the patient’s medical history, to be completed beforehand, and post-operative care, including an annual check-up; (g) breast implants for cosmetic surgery should not be inserted into patients under 18 years of age; 4. Stresses the need to draw up research programmes in order to bring about European legislation seeking to expand and perfect the measures affording better protection of the health of persons in whom implants have been inserted and to improve certification, marketing and testing of implants and the technical standards governing implants;

5. Recommends that further scientific and clinical research be carried out, specifically focusing on some of the shortcomings of research to date: long-term outcomes illness and health, systemic health effects at sites distant from the implant (not just autoimmune disorders and cancer), and possible effects on the health of children of women with implants; reliable techniques for measuring silicone concentrations in body fluids and tissues, and tissue responses to the presence of silicone; local complications, including local effects at the site of the implant;

6. Recommends treatment and aftercare for victims of silicone implant damage in accordance with the latest research findings; 7. Considers that the Commission must do everything possible to be consistent with the philosophy underlying the criteria of the European precautionary principles;

(2002/C 53 E/04) MINUTES

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SITTING

IN THE CHAIR: Mr VIDAL-QUADRAS ROCA

Vice-President

1. Opening of sitting

The sitting opened at 10.00.

2. Approval of Minutes of previous sitting

The following spoke:

MacCormick who, returning to the remarks he had made towards the end of Question Time to the Commission (Item 22), complained that Question Time had been shortened and that only five questions had been answered; he suggested that the House might examine the possibility of holding a regular Question Time in Brussels;

Andrews who, hearing that Parliament had signed a contract with a new travel office to replace the current one, asked that Members be consulted when administrative changes of this kind were being made; he also requested that Parliament be informed of decisions taken and any savings made (the President took note of these requests and would refer the matter to the Bureau);

Fitzsimons, referring to Mr Le Pen’s remarks during the debate on the preparation of the next Euro- pean Council (Item 4), deplored strongly Mr Le Pen’s comments and actions following the Irish referendum on the ratification of the Treaty of Nice.

Provan who, referring to Mr Andrews’ remarks, expressed concern at the way the matter of the travel office had been handled and pointed out that the whole issue should have been referred to the Quaestors; referring to Mr MacCormick’s remarks, he reminded the House that matters relating to the organisation of Parliament’s work had been referred by the Bureau to the Committee on Consti- tutional Affairs;

Bourlanges who, referring to Mr MacCormick’s remarks, considered that Parliament did not make full use of its Strasbourg sessions and opposed the idea of holding further Question Times in Brussels, which according to the Treaty were ‘additional’ sessions; he also announced that he had intended to abstain in the final vote on the resolution on Preparation of the European Council (Item 9);

Klamt who noted that Parliament’s administration had laid down that only vehicles not marked as ‘taxis’ would be used for driving Members in Strasbourg, which went against the relevant French rules; as a result the French police were stopping and checking Parliament’s chauffeurs without any justification; given that, in a 1998 document, the French Minister for Transport had approved specific rules for Strasbourg in this regard, Mrs Klamt asked the President to discuss the matter with the French Minister for the Interior to find a permanent solution to the problem (the President replied that the matter would be looked into);

Corbett who, referring to Mr Bourlanges’ remarks, underlined that Parliament did not use to the full the time it had for sessions in Strasbourg, as was proved by the fact that the previous day the sitting had been suspended between 11.30 and 12 noon due to a lack of speakers.

The Minutes of the previous sitting were approved. C 53 E/234 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

14. Development of the external service

A5-0199/2001

European Parliament resolution on the Commission communication on the development of the external service (COM(2000) 456 C5-0629/2000 2000/2292(COS))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission communication (COM(2000) 456 C5-0629/2000),

having regard to the Commission’s Williamson report of 27 March 1996 on the longer-term requirements of the external service (SEC(1996) 554),

having regard to the Commission communication of 27 March 1996 on staff redeployment and rationalisation of the network (SEC(1996) 554/2),

having regard to the Commission communication of 8 April 1997 on the development of the external service of the Commission (SEC(1997) 605),

having regard to the Commission communication of 8 April 1998 on the multiannual plan to allocate external service resources (SEC(1998) 1261),

having regard to the Commission communication of 22 July 1998 on the Commission’s external service (SEC(1998) 1261), 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/391

Thursday 14 June 2001 having regard to the Commission communication of 21 April 1999 on the development of the external service (COM(1999) 180)

having regard to the Commission communication on the reform of the management of external assistance established in the communication (SEC(2000) 814),

having regard to the Commission communication of 11 April 2001 on conflict prevention (COM(2001) 211),

having regard to the setting up of the EuropeAid Agency on 1 January 2001 which is responsible for implementing the Commission’s external aid policy,

having regard to its Resolution of 5 September 2000 on a common European diplomacy (1),

having regard to Rule 47(1) of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy and the opinions of the Committee on Budgets, the Committee on Budgetary Control and the Committee on Development and Cooperation (A5-0199/2001),

A. whereas the objective, which is shared by the Commission and Parliament, that the common foreign and security policy should be suitably developed in such a way as to ensure that the Union takes on a firm political role at international level requires not only political will but also the adoption of the appropriate decisions which will allow that goal to be achieved in practice,

B. having regard to the desire expressed by the Commission in its abovementioned communication on conflict prevention for the Union to assert itself as a credible actor on the international stage and, with this in view, to provide itself with the means to take common decisions based on a detailed and in- depth analysis of each situation,

C. stressing, however, that the main problem regarding the implementation of the common foreign policy is the democratic deficit affecting decision-making within the EU, which remains completely outside the scope of Community procedures, and that a clear, coherent and resolutely Community definition of the Union’s external action will help future Union delegations genuinely to play a role in representing the policy and interests of the Union,

D. whereas it is vital, to that end, to overcome the considerable shortcomings which still affect the external service and provide it with an overall design, given that, up to now, it has been built up in response to specific needs which have emerged over time,

E. whereas, as part of its activities, EuropeAid is working together with the Directorates-General for external relations and development to decentralise to the Commission delegations responsibility for all operations which can be more effectively managed in the field and, with this in view, EuropeAid is undertaking to transfer some of its officials to each Commission delegation by 2003,

F. whereas it is vital for the external service to ensure a coordinated EU presence within international organisations such as the United Nations, IMF, World Bank, WTO and other similar bodies, as well as in regions such as South America, Central America, Africa, etc.,

G. whereas Parliament has expressed its concern at the continuing existence of this situation on many occasions, highlighting in its abovementioned resolution on the establishment of a common diplomacy and aimed at improving the quality of the external service, the need for progress to be made in three directions: 1. Specialist training of officials to be assigned to the external service; 2. Development of a legal framework governing the status of the Commission delegations and their relations with the Parliament and Council, without questioning their position as part of the Com- mission’s establishment plan; and 3. The need for coordination between these delegations and the Member States’ diplomatic representations,

(1) OJ C 135, 7.5.2001, p. 69. C 53 E/392 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Thursday 14 June 2001 H. pointing out, nevertheless, that the question of improved training for future Union diplomats is by no means the only problem to be tackled and that, in particular, a clearer definition is needed of the Union’s external activity, together with a rationalisation of the bodies responsible for these activities so as to ensure greater integration,

I. whereas the Commissioners responsible for external relations agreed in June 2000 to undertake an overall review with the aim of creating an integrated external service, and Commissioner Patten gave an undertaking to Parliament’s plenary sitting of 5 September 2000 that the Commission would publish a communication on the external service in the first half of 2001, taking particular account of Parliament’s above-mentioned report,

J. whereas, pending this more ambitious initiative announced by the Commission, Parliament should now adopt a position on the abovementioned communication concerning the development of the external service (COM(2000) 456), whose subject matter is restricted to the network of delegations and their staff,

K. whereas in the fifty or so countries of the international community where hardly any of the Member States have representation, the Union could establish Union embassies representing both the interests of the Union and those of all the Member States,

L. whereas, owing to a special reserve entered in the budget since 1997, Parliament has given itself the means to guide how the external delegations operate according to a comprehensive plan involving vertical and horizontal redeployment of manpower on the basis of political and budgetary priorities, enhancing their role and effectiveness through staff training and reconfiguration,

M. whereas the Union must equip itself with an ambitious, high-achieving external service to perform the priority tasks conferred on it by virtue of the subsidiarity principle, in particular provision of aid to third countries,

N. whereas the delegations must ensure that Community aid to third countries is visible, their role and make-up differing according to whether aid is provided by way of political representation, economic assistance or economic intermediation,

O. whereas the abovementioned Commission communications with a view to developing and strengthening the Union’s external service are an important aspect of the reform in that they seek to improve external-policy implementation performance, as called for by Parliament during the 2001 budgetary procedure,

P. whereas reform of the external service must be carried out at constant staffing levels, but, in view of the expenditure to which redeployment measures give rise, cannot take place at the same cost,

1. Insists that the overriding priority for the external service of the Commission must be the efficient organisation and management of EU external assistance programmes, including humanitarian aid, development aid, technical and financial assistance programmes, and pre-accession funds;

2. Agrees that progress needs to be made in the deconcentration and decentralisation of the Commis- sion’s external assistance, an objective already set out in its abovementioned communication on the management of external assistance (SEC(2000) 814), and reiterated in the present communication (COM(2000) 456), which should not imply an increase in superfluous bureaucracy;

3. Recognises that the process of deconcentration will require more human resources for the delegations, not all of which can be supplied from the posts made available as part of the proposals for reorganisation and regionalisation, but points out that the political decision to strengthen the EU’s political presence, as called for by Parliament, requires commitments to secure the necessary resources;

4. Points out that the difficulties encountered in making progress in the process of deconcentration do not stem solely from the lack of human resources and that it is also necessary to improve computer equipment and adopt the necessary ancillary measures, such as policies on contracts, training plans, the review of procedures and provisions on verification and audit; 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/393

Thursday 14 June 2001 5. Recognises also that deconcentration requires adequate budgetary resources to ensure that local agents can be employed on contracts of a reasonable length;

6. Proposes that more attention be paid to the definition of officials’ responsibilities, the match between the profiles of delegation staff and the tasks to be carried out, the monitoring and control of work, the support system for services provided by headquarters to the delegations, the drawing-up of guides and standardised procedures and the external visibility of the delegations’ activity;

7. Urges the Commission to propose, in agreement with Parliament, a suitable legal framework to regulate relations between Parliament and the delegations, including:

(a) The establishment of regular channels of information between the delegations and Parliament, which might take the form of regular reports to be supplied by the delegations through the President of Parliament or its Committee on Foreign Affairs, which will be responsible for forwarding the information to the appropriate interparliamentary delegations;

(b) Practical action to ensure that heads of delegation appear before the corresponding parliamentary bodies whenever political circumstances make this advisable, and provision for heads of delegation to appear before Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs as a matter of course before taking up their duties, in order to outline their objectives and debate them with Members;

(c) Steps to ensure that the EU delegation be systematically jointly responsible for visits by official EP missions, with a commitment to provide assistance during visits and missions by MEPs in the course of their parliamentary work;

(d) The submission to Parliament and the Council of an annual report by the Commission on the functioning of the delegations;

8. Calls on the Commission to include in its forthcoming communication a detailed plan for reforming the training of officials assigned to the external service, in accordance with the guidelines which Parliament set out in its abovementioned resolution of 5 September 2000;

9. Hopes, in this context, that a meeting will be convened in the coming months between European diplomatic colleges and institutes and the competent Commission bodies in order to consider draft training programmes for officials, the creation of a College of European Diplomacy and the development of a bridging system between the external services of the Community and of the Member States;

10. Considers that both the external service and its constituent delegations should play an active role in ensuring that the European Union enjoys a more coordinated presence on the international stage and within international organisations;

11. Urges, in this respect, the Presidency-in-office to include this matter in one of the next General Affairs Council meetings so as to verify the willingness of the Member States to make efforts to strengthen EU visibility and effectiveness with a view, in particular, to coordinating better the work of the various embassies with the EU delegations and outlining proposals to encourage joint representations where possible;

12. Urges the Commission to put forward more specific proposals, involving either the redeployment of existing posts or the creation of additional posts, and to establish a better balance between statutory officials and local agents;

13. Calls on the Council and Commission to examine the different procedures that would make it possible to introduce an effective system for incorporating national external services into the Community’s external service, including the gradual integration of Member States’ diplomats into the Community’s external service; C 53 E/394 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Thursday 14 June 2001 14. Supports the establishment of regional delegations whose duties would extend to various neighbouring states; points out, however, that this can only be done if these delegations include staff with specialised knowledge of Community interests in the area, particularly as regards support for democratisation and respect for human rights;

15. Considers it necessary, nevertheless, to maintain delegations in those countries which play a positive role in encouraging democracy and respect for human rights in the regional context concerned;

16. Calls for consideration to be given to setting up Commission delegations in third countries where fewer than four Member States are represented by diplomatic missions;

17. Agrees that the possibility should be considered of opening delegations or information offices in various states, strengthening the presence in areas such as:

(a) South-East Asia, where analysis should focus in particular on Singapore, which is the European Union’s fifteenth largest trading partner, and Taiwan (as already envisaged in the list of priorities for opening new delegations (SEC(1998) 1261), approved by the Commission in 1998), the Union’s four- teenth largest trading partner;

(b) The countries of the Arab and Islamic world, since the Commission has no representation in the Gulf area, which is why it would be useful to open a delegation in Saudi Arabia (as already envisaged in the 1998 list of priorities) and in Iran, which could facilitate the dialogue between producers and consumers regarding oil and gas and encourage democratic reform;

(c) Latin America, where delegations should be opened (as already envisaged in the 1998 list of priorities) in Paraguay and, in particular, Ecuador, bearing in mind the strong migratory flow from this country to the European Union;

18. Takes the view that there can be no dispute as to the need to open a delegation in Switzerland, the EU’s second largest trade partner in 1999;

19. Urges the Commission to fulfil its commitment to approve, in the first half of 2001, a communication on the overall development of the external service, taking account of its abovementioned resolution, as well as this resolution;

Budgetary aspects

20. Notes that the policy guidance proposed by the Commission is a step towards what Parliament has repeatedly called for over the last few years; stresses that as they stand, however, the proposals are characterised by a lack of ambition, precision and budgetary rigour;

21. Cautions the Commission against any footdragging in adopting specific and ambitious flanking measures for large-scale vertical redeployment from headquarters to delegations, and horizontal deployment between delegations, on the basis of the Union’s political and budgetary priorities, which might jeopardise the policy guidance proposed in the communication;

22. Notes that the declared goal of programme management devolution seems hard to reconcile with the way in which project cycles currently proceed, which is very much based on implementation outsourcing by central Commission departments to legal persons governed by private law; expects the Commission to make proposals promptly to clarify what respectively, within cycles, its central departments, its devolved services and private actors are responsible for;

23. Will scrupulously make sure that reform of the external service incorporates the performance targets laid down by the budgetary authority in 2001 by improving the project cycle, eliminating cumber- some red tape, making the chain of delegation transparent, keeping political oversight within the Commis- sion, and restricting tasks involving the Commission’s discretionary powers to regular staff; 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/395

Thursday 14 June 2001 24. Calls on the Commission to examine how to grant recipient states Community aid from a revolving fund equivalent to a limited percentage (5-10 %) of total programmed aid, so as to allow the states concerned to lose no time in embarking on programme implementation;

25. Looks to the Commission for a proposal for a precise timetable for implementing the measures to be taken with regard to redeployment and harmonisation of the ratio between regular and local staff on the basis of a clear definition of the role of delegations and the volume of aid they implement;

26. Points out that the fact that relatively few Commission staff are assigned to development aid is virtually meaningless, since the ways in which the Commission intervenes differ profoundly from those of the Member States in that they are based on the use of outsourcing on a massive scale;

27. Is aware of the additional cost of expatriation and mobility of staff to be redeployed, but takes the view that cost must not be an obstacle to this action;

28. Takes the view, then, that the requests for additional staff referred to in paragraphs 3 and 12 could not be justified unless they were part of an overall reform of the project cycle which called for more direct involvement of Commission departments in programme management;

29. Will assess during the 2002 budgetary procedure, and as the 2001 budget is implemented, the progress made by the Commission; proposes to make use of the tools provided by the budgetary authority in order to guarantee a substantial improvement in the Union’s external assistance.

Concerning the action plan proposed by the Commission

30. Calls on the Commission, having conducted a bench-mark exercise with external services of Member States, to submit an Action Plan by 15 October 2001 with a clear timetable on measures taken and planned, and to submit a progress report to Parliament every year and to take account of the following ten points in its Action Plan:

31. Declaration of Assurance: welcomes that under deconcentration, Delegations will bear greater responsibility for implementation and financial management of projects; recalls paragraph 10(II) of its discharge resolution of 4 April 2001 (1) whereby each Head of Delegation is asked to sign

(a) for the first time by 1 June 2001, a declaration of assurance that adequate internal controls have been put in place;

(b) for the first time by 1 March 2002, an annual statement that all funds for which s/he is responsible have, as far as s/he is aware, been spent in accordance with the principles of sound and efficient management;

32. Mission statement and job descriptions: regrets that, in the past, an unclear definition of responsibilities has hindered the management of the entire aid effort; calls for the establishment of a mission statement for each delegation and a clear definition of the duties for all categories of staff both in headquarters and the field involved in the project cycle;

33. Redeployment between existing delegations: points out the need to review resources allocated to delegations; recalls paragraph 9 point (vii) of its discharge resolution of 4 April 2001 in which Parliament encourages the Commission to continue the redeployment programme launched in 1996 in which 70 officials were redeployed amongst the delegations and 50 amongst headquarters and the delegations; welcomes that 31, or nearly a quarter of delegations, now have regional responsibilities;

34. Need for new delegations: recalls that the Commission agreed in 1998 on a list of political priorities for the opening of new Delegations in Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Switzerland, Taiwan, Paraguay and Ecuador; notes the lack of representation in some

(1) ‘Texts Adopted’, Item 4. C 53 E/396 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Thursday 14 June 2001 key regions including South East Asia, Central Asia and the Gulf States; notes that, in its amending letter to the 2001 budget, the Commission requested a total of 261 new A-grade posts, of which 40 will be used to strengthen existing Delegations; calls for the establishment of Delegations in regions with political and economic importance for the Union;

35. Over-centralisation: contrasts the heavily centralised decision-making ethos in the Commission with that of other countries including Sweden, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States (USAID), where staff in the field are given greater responsibility (1); notes that in 1998 the Ting report by the analysis group on relations between Brussels and the Delegations recommended an increase in staff responsibilities; welcomes that, in the first wave of deconcentration, a further 23 delegations have been selected to take on direct financial responsibilities, including the delegation in Jerusalem; asks the Commis- sion to bring forward plans for subsequent phases of de-centralisation for all its remaining Delegations;

36. In-house expertise: observes that, according to the Court of Auditors, Delegations in Asia, Latin America and the Mediterranean countries lack staff with expertise in financial management in general, and tendering and contracting in particular; notes that Technical Assistance Offices, such as the MEDA teams, both in headquarters and in the field, have been characterised by a high turn-over of staff and a loss of in-house knowledge and expertise; calls for appropriate and continued training of officials and locally recruited staff;

37. Quality-control: notes that the Commission has acknowledged the need to improve the quality of country programming by the establishment of the interservice quality support group (IQSG) under the Directorate-General for Development; expects that the IQSG will ensure that country strategy papers and national indicative programmes are of consistently high quality; points out the need for explicit quantified targets and performance indicators to facilitate monitoring and ex post evaluation;

38. Monitoring and evaluation:

(a) regrets that, under the current input-oriented system, form, administrative issues and quantitative factors take precedence over substance, impact analysis and qualitative indicators; observes that a lack of clear responsibilities and the use of outdated transmission methods results in the loss of time while documents are sent to and fro between the various actors; calls for Delegations, based on best practice, to monitor the implementation of actions and measures taken by recipient governments and to make the best use of information technology and telecommunications;

(b) welcomes the quality of financial controls carried out by the Delegation in Sarajevo; recalls problems identified, in paragraph 9, points (x) and (xi) of its abovementioned discharge resolution concerning the Commission’s Representation in Stockholm and Delegation in Washington; asks that preventative controls be made regarding possible fictitious contracts and refurbishment of residences in other Del- egations;

(c) notes that controls were carried out by the inspectorate-general which recently examined delegations in Angola, Bolivia, Bosnia, Gambia, Lesotho, Malawi, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Romania, Senegal, Swazi- land, Switzerland and Tanzania; calls for executive summaries of past investigations and plans for future controls to be submitted to the Committee on Budgetary Control;

39. Management tools: notes that the ACP Delegations employ a basic procedures manual dating from 1978; regrets that no procedures manual exists for Asian and Mediterranean Delegations; asks the Com- mission to update and consolidate manuals and publish them on its web-site; notes that for the vast majority of Delegations accounting information is transmitted manually as most cannot access the Com- mission’s central accounting system Sincom II; encourages the Commission to introduce a reliable and comprehensive management information tool;

Thursday 14 June 2001 40. Visibility: notes that a number of delegations have taken the initiative to publish their activities on their own websites; encourages the Commission at headquarters to facilitate this activity for those delegations that do not have sufficient resources;

41. Believes that bottlenecks in filling vacancies should not be tackled by closing or down-grading delegations as this only creates further problems; instead, there should be greater restructuring than planned, with the employment of more temporary, B and C-grade staff and, particularly in the ACP countries, local staff;

42. Welcomes the Commission proposal to deploy more local and ALAT staff but believes that the EU delegations in developing countries should make a particular effort to increase the number of potential candidates by offering special training courses in order to increase the chances for skilled and university- trained local staff to be employed;

43. Believes that the Commission’s approach should take account of the Council’s call for greater involvement of governmental and non-governmental organisations from the Member States; believes that particular account must be taken of the increased opportunities afforded in the 2001 budget for NGOs to apply for funds for projects from, for example, the regional budget lines for Asia, Latin America and South Africa, something which will result in additional demands being made on the expertise of the delegations;

44. Believes that better coordination between the delegations and the Member States is required in order to give substance to the desired complementarity between the development policy of the EU and that of the Member States; points out that such coordination is of particular importance during the programming phase of the various Community initiatives in developing countries;

45. Believes that regional cooperation, which is an important goal of development cooperation, should be given greater material and staff back-up; notes that the present approach of regional offices, which is based primarily on considerations of staff savings rather than substantive concepts, does not appear to guarantee this; considers, in particular, that a permanent presence is essential in individual ACP partner countries because of communications and transport problems; points out that the regional offices therefore require an approach that is tailored to development policy requirements;

46. Urges the Commission to present the multiannual programme for delegations, which should figure more prominently in the deconcentration programme, and to link it to development objectives;

47. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission and Council.

15. European Union’s oil supply

A5-0163/2001

European Parliament resolution on the Communication from the Commission on the European Union’s oil supply (COM(2000) 631 C5-0739/2000 2000/2335(COS))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission communication (COM(2000) 631 C5-0739/2000),

having regard to Rule 47(1) of its Rules of Procedure, C 53 E/398 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Thursday 14 June 2001 having regard to the report of the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy and the opinions of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy, the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy and the Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism (A5-0163/2001),

A. whereas it is estimated that on present trends, by 2020, world oil consumption will stand at some 115 million barrels per day, as compared with some 77 million barrels in 2000, if no steps are taken,

B. whereas the high level of European dependency on oil imports will increase still more steeply, from some 75 % at present to over 85 % in 2020,

C. whereas, on current forecasts, 71 % of end-user demand for oil in 2020 will be accounted for by the transport sector, 7 % by industry, 8 % by the service sector and 14 % by private households,

D. whereas high oil prices and price fluctuations affect the poorer sectors of the population dispropor- tionately,

E. whereas it is impossible to make predictions about the price of oil and whereas further price instabil- ity must be expected: between late summer and December 2000 alone, the price ranged between USD 37 and USD 24 per barrel of crude oil,

F. whereas it is possible to save large quantities of oil using existing technology: for example, simply by installing better windows it would be possible each year projecting the figures to cover the whole of Europe to save some 65 million tonnes of oil, currently worth around € 25 million, in other words 20 % of total oil production in Europe,

1. Calls on the Commission and Council to establish effective dialogues with the major oil producing groupings, in particular OPEC, the Russian Federation and Caspian Sea States; considers that such dialogues should be ongoing, whether the market is favourable to buyer or seller and framed within the broader political and economic issues of mutual concern;

2. Urges the EU institutions and Member States to coordinate as much as possible their political, economic and energy supply strategies vis-à-vis the major oil producers and thereby speak with one really effective voice;

3. Calls for this dialogue to take the interests of developing countries into consideration;

4. Calls on the EU, in dialogue with the OPEC and non-OPEC countries, to prepare the way for payment for oil in euros;

5. Calls, in the light of Europe’s strategic interest in a stable energy supply, for the development of long- term strategies for the regions of the Persian Gulf, Caspian Sea, Caucasus and West Africa seeking to guarantee the diversification of EU energy imports, and to contribute to the stabilisation and development of these regions;

6. In this connection, and in view of the close links with the Mediterranean and the Middle East, welcomes the Commission’s energy initiatives relating to Euro-Mediterranean cooperation and calls for an intensification of the dialogue between the Union and the non-European members of the Barcelona Process which was initiated by means of the Euro-Mediterranean Energy Forums;

7. Calls for the EU to make greater efforts to replace oil as far as possible with other sources of energy; 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/399

Thursday 14 June 2001 8. Considers that nuclear energy, given the current safety conditions in modern power stations, may help to provide a substitute for a portion of oil consumption, if the problem of waste is resolved;

9. Regards renewable energy sources and biofuels as an alternative to oil and its derivatives, and takes the view that investment in technological research into energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and biofuels will have a positive impact in the medium and long term;

10. Calls on the Commission to present a proposal to encourage increased use and production of biofuels taking into account the potential of the candidate countries;

11. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to remove distortion of competition on the energy market, in particular through internalising external costs and through fair transit tariffs for electricity from renewables to enable the latter to develop, as Parliament also called for in its opinion of 16 November 2000 on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive on the production of electricity from renewable energy sources in the internal electricity market (COM(2000) 279 C5-0281/2000 2000/0116(COD)) (1);

12. Points out that taxation of energy in the EU is 2,1 % of GDP compared with 0,9 % in Japan and 0,5 % in the USA and urges the Commission to strive for a more even sharing of the burden towards achieving the Kyoto emissions targets;

13. Suggests that, due to the lack of progress in the Council on the directive on taxation of energy products, the levels of energy taxes in EU Member States should be left to tax competition in a truly open and fair single market for transport and for motor fuels;

14. Stresses that the use of fiscal instruments to offset the increase in world oil prices must be consistent with economic policy objectives and commitments on budget consolidation; urges the Council to take a decision on the proposal for a directive on the taxation of energy products, which has been shelved since 1997;

15. Calls on the General Affairs Council, the Ecofin Council and the Council of Transport Ministers, to develop and put in place, in cooperation with the Commission, a coordination mechanism making it possible in future to respond, in a coordinated way, to a short-term increase in the price of oil;

16. Calls on the Commission to monitor closely and speed up the liberalisation of the gas and electricity markets, so as to give a greater boost to competition;

17. In the context of liberalisation of gas markets, asks the Commission to study the necessity for the continued close coupling of oil and gas prices in the EU and to make recommendations;

18. Stresses that, even though in the long term natural gas will be unable to meet the rising demand for energy, it will help to provide a substitute for a portion of oil consumption and diversify energy sources and their origin;

19. Suggests that the feasibility of constructing oil and gas pipelines from the Middle East and West Africa to Europe should be investigated with an eye to potential strategic supply benefits in the longer term;

20. Welcomes the Commission’s intention to reduce energy consumption in the transport sector and recommends that research in this area should be given priority under the Sixth Framework Programme;

(1) ‘Texts Adopted’, Item 4. C 53 E/400 Official Journal of the European Communities EN 28.2.2002

Thursday 14 June 2001 21. Calls on the Commission to take measures, together with industry, to improve the energy efficiency of buildings;

22. Supports the Commission’s proposal to submit to the Göteborg European Council a plan for energy savings and diversification of energy sources which will aim both at more efficient use of energy particularly in buildings and at promoting the development of a new generation of vehicles;

23. Calls on the Commission to work out new energy-saving programmes for the rational use of energy and to retain the existing SAVE II and Altener II programmes;

24. Calls on the Commission to intensify its efforts to improve the terms of competition in the oil sector and to ensure compliance with existing competition rules; considers that particular emphasis should be placed on investigating and combating oligopolies and cartels in refining and distribution to points of consumption.

25. Urges the Commission to enhance the level of oil production, especially from indigenous EU oil- fields, by promoting research and investment in improved oil recovery techniques;

26. Notes that oil is a costly, non-renewable resource required for important areas of life such as the manufacture of medicines;

27. Calls on the Member States in future to plan housing developments with a view to high energy efficiency and, in particular, to adapt them to transport structures with low oil dependence;

28. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission and the governments of the Member States.

G. noting with concern reports that the US policy review on the Compliance Protocol has recommended that the US government reject the current draft compromise proposal,

H. welcoming the statement made on behalf of the European Union on 23 April 2001 by Swedish Ambassador Henrik Salander to the Ad Hoc Group: ‘A successful conclusion of these negotiations will not only strengthen the Convention, but will also be a demonstration that multilateral negotiations are capable of achieving progress towards disarmament and non-proliferation’,

I. noting the short timeframe for resolving outstanding issues before the session ends in August 2001,

1. Calls upon all BTWC States Parties to show maximum flexibility and readiness to compromise so that the short deadline may be met and a Protocol may be adopted before the Fifth BTWC Review Conference in November-December 2001;

2. Urges all BTWC States Parties to support a compromise agreement based on the Chairman’s composite text;

3. Urges States to create the strongest possible verification regime, in order to curb the hostile misuse of biological technologies, which means maintaining as a minimum the measures currently outlined in the Chairman’s composite text;

European Parliament resolution on Malaysia

The European Parliament,

having regard to its previous resolutions on the situation in Malaysia,

having regard to Article 5 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, which guarantees all Malaysians the right to liberty of their persons, 28.2.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 53 E/407

Thursday 14 June 2001 A. whereas the human rights situation in Malaysia has deteriorated rapidly, largely because of Prime Minister Mahathir’s determination to crush his political rivals,

B. whereas the Internal Security Act (ISA) allows the Malaysian Government to order indefinite detention without charge or trial of any person suspected of acting in a manner prejudicial to national security and has frequently been used to arrest political opponents and human rights activists, while detainees have been subjected to physical abuse and to intense psychological pressure amounting at times to torture,

C. whereas, in addition to the ISA, Article 149 of the Malaysian Constitution has given legitimacy to other laws used by the authorities to detain thousands of Malaysians without trial for alleged criminal offences, such as the Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) Ordinance of 1969 and the Dangerous Drugs (Special Prevention Measures) Act of 1985,

D. whereas numerous Malaysian civil society organisations have for many years consistently called upon their government to abolish the ISA and to release immediately all those arrested under this Act,

G. whereas the High Court of Malaya in Shah Alam, in setting free two ISA detainees under writs of habeas corpus on 30 May 2001, called upon the Malaysian Parliament to review the ISA thoroughly,

H. whereas the guarantee not to be detained in any way without a fair and public trial is a basic and fundamental human right,

1. Deplores the fact that the Malaysian authorities continue to resort to the ISA to detain political opponents and human rights activists and thus deny them access to justice in an open court of law; calls upon them to release these detainees, or else charge them and ensure that they are promptly and fairly tried;

2. Calls on the Malaysian authorities to fulfil their international human rights obligations and to guarantee Malaysia’s citizens the right to freedom of expression and association, to adhere to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and to adapt the Malaysian Constitution accordingly, to abolish the ISA and to enact laws which ensure fair and public trials for all detainees;

3. Calls on the European Union and its Member States to put pressure upon the Malaysian Government to respect human rights, and invites the Council and the Commission to raise these questions during the next EU-Malaysia Partenariat, which will be held in Kuala Lumpur on 5-6 November 2001, and at the next EU-ASEAN Ministerial meeting;

6. Notes that the Taliban’s policy and administration of justice do not reflect the true values or ideas of Islam and are categorically rejected by the majority of the Muslim community;

7. Warns the Taliban that such barbarous policies will further isolate their regime and reiterates its call to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to stop any kind of support of the Taliban;

8. Calls on Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Pakistan to review their diplomatic recognition of the Taliban regime;

9.
