Minister for Commerce (Engr. Khurram Dastgir Khan): (a) GSP Plus allows duty free access on agricultural and industrial finished and semi-finished goods to the European Union w.e.f. 1st January, 2014. The European Parliament had granted GSP Plus status to a few selected countries which undertook to ratify and implement 27 International United Nations Conventions (list attached) pertaining to Human Rights, Labour Rights, Climate Change, Narcotics Control and Good Governance. The Government of Pakistan has ratified all these 27 Conventions and is committed to implement in letter and spirit for ensuring Good Governance and Sustainable Development. The Implementation of Conventions are nothing new nor are they an additional responsibility or burden imposed on the Government. In fact the Constitution of Pakistan and the ethos of Islam contain and guarantee all of the provisions that are contained in these Conventions. Other than improving the human rights condition and providing for better working conditions, it is anticipated that GSP Plus status will result in the following: i. increase in our export to European Union by US$ 1.5 billion in one year. ii. There will be creation of around 100,000 more jobs in textile sector alone. (b) The devaluation and stability of the Pakistani Rupee viz -a-viz the US$ is likely to have a positive impact in the long run since it will make our exports ‘cheaper’ and hence internationally competitive. The analys is of dollar devaluation for the period from june, 2013 to March, 2014 and its impact on the exports of Pakistan is given in table below: ——————————————————————————————————————————— Month Exports Growth Exchange Exchange (2013-14) Rate (%) Rate (2012-13) Rate (2013-14) (1 US$=Rs.) (1US$Rs.) ——————————————————————————————————————————— July 2 0 94.38 100.8 August 1.9 -5 94.47 102.3 September 2.6 36.84 94.59 104.6 October 1.8 -30.77 95.35 105.9 November 1.8 0 95.99 107.2 December 2.2 22.22 97.19 106.3 January (2014) 2.1 -4.55 97.47 105 February 2.1 0 97.97 108 March 2.2 4.77 98.06 99 ——————————————————————————————————————————— Average 96.16 104.34 ——————————————————————————————————————————— 7 Comparison of exchange rate during July-March, 2013 with July-March 2014 shows that on 9 months average basis Rupee appreciated to 104.34 from 96.16. Notwithstanding rupee appreciation, the export date analysis transpires monthly exports, range from US$ 1.8 billion to US$ 2.8 billion during 9 months of CFY.

    1 (14th Session) NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SECRETARIAT ————— “QUESTIONS FOR ORAL ANSWERS AND THEIR REPLIES” to be asked at a sitting of the National Assembly to be held on Monday, the 4th August, 2014 136. * Ms. Shaista Pervaiz: (Deferred during 9th Session) Will the Minister for Commerce be pleased to state: (a) the time by which the additional energy requirements of the textile sector will be met in order to take benefits from GSP Plus scheme from European Union; and (b) the mechanism devised to comply with the conditionallties of said scheme? Minister for Commerce (Engr. Khurram Dastgir Khan): (a) Presently the country is facing severe shortage of energy due to huge gap between demand and supply of electricity which-has increasing trend because of severe hot weather. In order to bridge the gap, load management for all categories is being carried out by DISCOs keeping in view the orders of Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan for equitable load shedding. However, Government is striving hard on war-footing basis for enhancement of generation capacity. Generation plan showing the total power to be generated through various resources in the country during next four year is attached as Annex-A. As soon as the position improves, the textile sector will be given maximum relief in due course of time. As per National Power System Expansion Plan prepared by NTDCL, which is being updated regularly. the power balance based on the above said plan indicates that the duration of load shedding will be decreased gradually and hopefully eliminated during 2018-19 subject to the implementation of the said plan.

The only way to guard against it is to ensure that all children under 5 years of age are administered polio vaccine through routine immunization at 6 weeks, 10 weeks and 14 weeks of age and during every polio campaign. Since polio is among the few diseases which can not only be controlled but eradicated forever; all out eorts are being made globally to rid the world of this disease that once caused permanent irreversible disability to over 350,000 children across the globe. You would recall that Pakistan joined the community of nations in ghting polio in 1994 when our leader, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto launched a nation-wide campaign against polio.
