on the increase in human rights violations in Guatemala
The European Parliament,
A. whereas in Guatemala in January 1986 there was a partial change from a military dictatorship to a democratically elected government,

H. concerned at the statement by President Vinicio Gerezo that 'after a certain time' he will no longer be able to guarantee the safety of Nineth Garcia,

J. whereas President Vinicio Cerezo is at present in Europe and on 10 October will be in Brussels to negotiate with the Commission of the European Community on his country's situation and the possibilities for Community support,

B. stressing the provisions of the 1965 convention on racism which prohibit any discrimination on the basis of race, colour, origin or any other reason,
C. aware of the particular responsibility incumbent on the Community institutions in this area and having regard especially to the joint declaration, which was the outcome of the Evrigenis report, recently signed by them,

E. having regard to its oral questions to the Commission (0-141/85) and the Council (0-142/85) on efforts to establish a common European policy on refugees,
F. recognizing, however, that the situation at present in all the Member States of the Community with regard to the right of asylum and the problems of refugees calls for immediate initia tives.
1. Calls on the Council to start negotiations as soon as possible with the Member States with a view to drawing up agreements and joint provisions on a European policy on refugees;
2. Considers that a common policy must be based on the human rights policy advocated by the European Parliament; 10. 11.86 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 283/75
Thursday, 9 October 1986
3. Considers that it is both natural and desirable to seek a common solution to the serious problems facing the Member States experiencing difficulties in accommodating the relatively high number of refugees applying to them in order to avoid 'exporting' the problems from one Member State to another, since such a 'pass the parcel' situation is humiliating both for the refugees and for our free and democratic societies;
4. Proposes that a common solution should involve common definitions of'political refugees', common standards with regard to a reasonable and acceptable distribution of the refugees who arrive at the Community's frontiers requesting asylum and common provisions with regard to the treatment meted out to these people; 5. Proposes that, to maximize the implementation of the measures referred to in the previous paragraph, the Community's relevant bodies initiate a study on the possibility and advisability of the Community acceding to the UN Convention on refugees; 6.

1. Welcomes the determination of the Ministers of the Interior to step up the fight against terrorism in the European Community by taking joint action and recommends including the competent Ministers of Justice in the joint action; 2. Points out that controls at intra-Community borders are an inappropriate means of com bating terrorism and merely divert from the need for closer cooperation across national bord ers; 3. Considers that coordination of investigations, joint patrols in border areas, closer cooper ation between the authorities concerned, improved judicial assistance arrangements and simpler rules for 'hot pursuit' across the Community's internal borders are more appropriate means of ensuring that frontiers no longer spell safety for terrorists on the run; 4. Calls on the governments of the Member States, in the context of European Political Cooperation, to work towards the harmonization of their laws on asylum, firearms and foreigners (issue of visas, etc.) in stages over four years (i.e. by the end of 1990) and in connection with drug smuggling, in particular, to step up controls at the Community's external frontiers (including ports and airports).

A. whereas the Community's institutional system is subject to the requirements of a legal system within the Court of Justice which is responsible for reviewing the legality of the acts of the Institutions, B. whereas the Court of Justice has ruled that an interpretation of Article 173 of the Treaty according to which the acts of the European Parliament were excluded from those which might be contested would lead to a result contrary both the spirit of the Treaty as expressed in Article 164 and to its overall scheme (')," C. whereas the Court of Justice has ruled that actions for annulment are 'to ensure, as required by Article 164, observance of the law in the interpretation and application of the Treaty' and that 'it would be inconsistent with this objective to interpret the conditions under which the action is admissible ... restrictively' (2),
1. Welcomes the Court's statement that the European Economic Community is a Community governed by the rule of law so that neither its Member States nor its institutions can avoid a review of whether or not their acts are in conformity with its basic constitutional document, the Treaty; 2. Notes that, by means of an interpretation of Article 173 of the EEC Treaty, the Court of Justice declared admissible an action for annulment brought against acts of the European Parliament intended to have legal force with regard to third parties; 3. Observes that the finding by the Court that the EEC Treaty 'established a complete system of legal remedies' implies that the European Parliament also has the right to bring actions under Article 173 and so has created the necessary balance in relations between the institutions; 4. Stresses the fact that acts which it has adopted in connection with its own internal organi zation, which have legal effects only within Parliament and which can be reviewed under procedures laid down in its Rules of Procedure must be exempted from a review of their legality by the Court of Justice;

(') OJ No C 313, 4. 12. 1985, p. 5. 10. 11.86 Official Journal of the European Communities No G 283/89
Thursday, 9 October 1986
—having regard to its resolution of 17 November 1983 on the harmonization of taxation in the Community ('), — having regard to its resolution of 9 April 1984 on the need to implement the internal European market (2),
— having regard to its resolution of 13 June 1985 on consolidating the internal market (3),
— having regard to the report of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and Industrial Policy (Doc. A2-90/86),
— having regard to the result of the votes on the Commission's proposal.
A. having regard to the conclusions of the meeting of the European Council on 28/29 June 1985 in Milan in which the Heads of State or Government, 'as regards the approximation of VAT and excise duties,... invited the Council of Ministers for Financial Affairs to examine on the basis of the White Paper any measures which might be necessary for the achievement of the objective of a single market and the possible timetable for the application of those meas ures',
B. endorsing the Commission's observations in Part III of the White Paper on completing the internal market (COM(85) 310 final), in which it is stated that fiscal checks feature promi nently among the functions carried out at the frontiers between the Community Member States and that, consequently, the removal of frontier controls is bound to have inescapable implications for the Member States as far as indirect taxes are concerned,
C. supporting fully and wholeheartedly the Commission in its efforts to implement by the end of 1992 the measures which — by virtue of the decisions taken at the meeting of the European Council on 2/3 December 1985 in Luxembourg that were followed up by the Member States' subsequent signing of the reform of the Treaties establishing the Community (the European Single Act) as agreed upon by the intergovernmental conference of Foreign Ministers — are designed to ensure the gradual establishment of the internal market — an area without internal frontiers and with freedom of movement for goods, individuals, services and capital in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty,
D. noting that abolition of fiscal frontiers will be a natural consequence of the other efforts being made to promote the development of the internal market, for example, through the removal of technical barriers to trade and national subsidies, but that the Community's endeavours to eliminate such barriers must in the first place be directed towards those areas that ensure optimum use and distribution of resources,
1. Draws the Commission's attention to the fact that the efforts so far to implement tax harmonization do not give grounds for optimism as far as the achievement of rapid results is concerned; calls therefore on the Commission, in accordance with the conclusions of the Milan summit, to give priority to the drawing up and continuing revision of the overall timetable for the implementation of measures with a view to the approximation of VAT rates and excise dutjes;
2. Emphasizes — see Parliament's aforementioned resolution of 17 November 1983 on the harmonization of taxation in the Community — that harmonization of taxes and excise duties must take place in accordance with an ordered programme of successive stages that takes into account the positive or negative financial, economic and social consequences for each Member State;
3. Agrees with the Commission that VAT and excise duties must be seen in the same context and that proposals must therefore cover both areas; believes therefore that in subsequent sub missions the Commission should avoid provisions that entail the exclusion of certain kinds of taxes, for example, excise duties on manufactured tobacco, alcoholic beverages and mineral oils — see Article 2(3) of the proposal which exempts these categories — from the current harmon ization measures, as the interrelationship between the various forms of taxation and the weighting by product areas is crucial in determining the consequences of harmonization;

4. Affirms that the effects of implementing the Commission's present proposal will vary decisively between the Member States and that the technical aspects (standard rate, mid-point, etc.) do not provide unambiguous and objective targets seen in relation to the systems of VAT and excise duty currently prevailing in the Member States;
5. Calls, therefore, on the Commission to present information on the consequences for Mem ber States of the different ways of calculating averages between the standard rates of VAT as well as on the possibilities of establishing convergence between the rates in Member States; recom mends that the Commission considers using the average which is applied to a particular supply of goods or services in the EC instead of the mid-point between the lowest and the highest standard rates;
6. Emphasizes that it would be unfortunate if harmonization were not to apply throughout the Community Member States; considers, therefore, any ideas about granting special status to Member States where the level of taxation differs markedly from that of the other States to be unacceptable;
7. Believes it is necessary in the case of excise duties to pursue structural harmonization in order thereby to obtain the transparency necessary to remove the risk of distortion; notes in this connection that, time and again, it has been felt appropriate - in response to the pressure of realities in individual sectors - to extend or postpone the time limits for moving on to a new stage simply because it has not been possible to reach agreement on the actual implementation of agreed fundamental decisions on the road towards harmonization;
8. Believes that the efforts to harmonize the rates of both value added tax and excise duties, including decisions on the number and level of such rates, may be pursued simultaneously with the coordination of the structure of excise duties that is in progress and the continuation of the ongoing harmonization of the basis of assessment;
9. Calls on the Commission to provide an assessment of the consequences for each individual country - see Parliament's resolution of 17 November 1983 - as account must necessarily be taken of the fact that the various elements in a country's economic policy, not least financial policy, in large measure exert varying influence on the distribution of income and wealth between an individual country's own citizens; draws attention to the fact that there are different traditions m the various Member States with regard to the distribution of the burden of taxation between direct and indirect taxation and other kinds of levels and that the level of taxation also differs to a certain extent, particularly for individual types of tax but also when taken as a whole;
10. Recommends to the national governments that they take the greatest possible account of the agreed objectives and scope for fiscal harmonization when adopting measures relating to tax matters, see Parliament's resolution of 15 April 1983 ('•) on the establishment of a prior informa tion and consultation procedure for tax matters; reiterates its support for the Commission's proposal establishing such a procedure, which would give the Member States an opportunity to draw attention to the adverse effects of measures adopted on the agreed objectives and the future propects for harmonization; urges the Council to proceed to adoption of the proposal without further delay;
11. Draws attention also to its resolution of 9 April 1984 on the need to implement the internal European market, paragraph 20 of which states that the purpose of the mutual information and consultation procedure is to ensure that the differences between the various Community coun tries, particularly neighbouring countries, do not become even greater;
12. Instructs its President to forward to the Council and Commission, as Parliament's opinion, the Commission's proposal as voted by Parliament and the corresponding resolution.
