PART II
Texts adopted by the European Parliament
1 . Beekeeping
B3-0184 and 0201/94
Resolution on beekeeping in the European Union
The European Parliament,
— having regard to the Oral Question with debate of its Committee on Agriculture , Fisheries and Rural Development (B3-0003/94),
— having regard to the Commission's answer,
— having regard to its resolution of 15 May 1992 on beekeeping in the European Com munity — problems and requirements ('),
A. whereas beekeeping has an environmental significance which goes far beyond the produc tion of honey and which is fundamental to the conservation of insect pollinated plants and their diversity ,
B. having regard to the very serious situation facing both commercial beekeepers and part-time and amateur beekeepers as a result of the low prices , despite the low level of self sufficiency , and as a result of further import facilities following the GATT agreements and the threats to bee colonies from the Varroa mite ,
1 . Calls on the Commission to draw up without delay a report on the situation in beekeeping in the European Union , covering the environmental importance of bees , trends in the number of bee colonies and the economic and market situation of honey production ;
2 . Calls on the Commission to examine the effectiveness of existing provisions to assist beekeepers , for example support measures to combat the Varroa mite or support for producers ' cooperatives , and to strengthen them ;
3 . Calls on the Commission to submit proposals for measures to the Council and Parliament which will facilitate sustainable beekeeping in the European Union and which , as environmental protection measures , are in accordance with GATT and will not have to be dismantled under the new agreement ;
4 . Is of the opinion that the Commission's answer to the oral question is inadequate and urges it to submit at the earliest opportunity proposals which are based on Parliament's abovemen tioned resolution of 15 May 1992 and take account of this resolution ;
5 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission and the Council .

2. Indigenous peoples
A3-0059/94
Resolution on action required internationally to provide effective protection for indigenous peoples
The European Parliament,
— having regard to the motion for a resolution by Mr Christiansen and others on the implementation of effective international legislation on the environment and the rights of indigenous peoples in the world in order to protect our planet and all its inhabitants (B3- 15 19/91 ),
— having regard to its numerous resolutions on the protection of human rights ,
— having regard to its resolution of 12 March 1992 on 1992 , indigenous peoples and the quincentenary ('),
— having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure ,
— having regard to the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security and the opinion of the Committee on Development and Cooperation (A3-0059/94),
A. whereas the most commonly used definition of indigenous peoples is that given in ILO Convention No 169 ; whereas, according to UN estimates , such communities represent 300 million individuals spread over almost 4 000 peoples,
B. convinced that all peoples contribute to the diversity and richness of the civilizations and cultures which constitute mankind's common heritage ,
C. whereas many international texts , in particular the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and ILO Convention No 169 , set out in detail the inalienable basic rights of all human beings , including that of determining their political status by freely choosing their way of economic , cultural and social development,
D. whereas the United Nations Organization, despite its name , represents only states and not peoples , and solutions to many problems concerning peoples , particularly indigenous peoples , are therefore difficult to find within it,
E. regretting that, in general , international treaties quite simply neglect the rights of indigenous peoples , even if it is they who must bear the direct or indirect consequences thereof,
F. noting that certain states have concluded treaties with indigenous peoples in the past and that some of those treaties have been shamelessly violated ; whereas in this connection , in the context of increasing impoverishment, indigenous peoples are often the first to be dispossessed of rights , land and resources ,
G. dismayed by the violence of every kind to which indigenous peoples have been subjected in the past, and still are ; whereas, in this connection , the UN has recognized the right to intervene when fundamental human rights, are under serious threat,
1 . Adopts the definition of indigenous peoples given by the ILO in its Convention No 1 69 and believes that this convention together with the Kari Oca Declaration (Rio, June 1992) and the declaration of the UN conference in Vienna on the rights of indigenous peoples (June 1993) are the benchmark texts in this regard ;

2 . Declares that pursuant to UN provisions , and in the context of a non-violent and fully democratic procedure with due regard for the rights of other citizens , indigenous peoples have the right to determine their own destiny by choosing their institutions , their political status and that of their territory ;
3 . Takes the view that the UN must take advantage of its 50th anniversary to make its bodies more democratic and more effective by enabling peoples without a state , in particular indigenous peoples , to be better represented , especially by involving them in the work of the General Assembly ;
4 . Solemnly reaffirms that those belonging to indigenous peoples have , just as any other human being has , the right to life , to respect, the right to freedom of thought and action , to physical security , to health , to justice and to equality concerning the right to work , to housing , to education and to culture ; this right to a separate culture must involve the right to use and disseminate their mother tongue and to have the tangible and intangible features of their culture protected and disseminated and to have their religious rights and their sacred land respected ; 5 . Calls for censuses to be taken of indigenous peoples in the states in which they are established ;
6 . Calls for indigenous peoples to be given help in marketing the craft products made by them , with verification of origin ;
7 . Declares that indigenous peoples have the right to the common ownership of their traditional land sufficient in terms of area and quality for the preservation and development of their particular ways of life , such land to be placed at their disposal free of charge ; it will therefore be indivisible , non-transferable , imprescriptible and cannot be rented ; 8 . Takes the view that, with regard to legal matters , those belonging to indigenous peoples have the right to a qualified defence lawyer and to full information about their rights , with the assistance of an interpreter if necessary , and that, as far as is compatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights , preference should be given to the use of customary law to judge their offences ;
9 . Declares that indigenous peoples who have been robbed of their rights must be able to obtain fair compensation ; if deprivation involves the loss of land , this will be made good , first and foremost, by returning the land in question or, alternatively , by providing land at least equal in terms of quality and size to that which has been lost ;
10 . Calls in the strongest possible terms on states which in the past have signed treaties with indigenous peoples to honour their undertakings, which remain imprescriptible, and in this connection gives its firm backing to the UN special rapporteur responsible for studying and resolving this problem ; 11 . Reaffirms the positive contribution of indigenous peoples ' civilizations to mankind's common heritage and the essential role which they have played and which they must continue to play in the conservation of their natural environment ; 12 . Considers that the European Union , but also the United Nations, should take all possible steps to ensure that international treaties , policies and the activities of commercial undertakings do not, either directly or indirectly , adversely affect the rights of indigenous peoples ; calls in this connection for the Council and the Commission to make a precise political statement on indigenous peoples ;
13 . Calls on the Commission and the Council to make a tangible contribution to the International Year of Indigenous Peoples and to this end calls for : — criteria to be drawn up for the financing of Community projects in the light of the rights of indigenous peoples , — indigenous peoples to be directly involved, as part of development and cooperation policy , in projects concerning them , — European officials to be given special training and assigned for following-up questions concerning indigenous peoples , — the technical and legal information intended for indigenous peoples' representatives to be enhanced , — appropriate budget lines to be clearly allocated for the defence of the rights of these peoples ; 28 . 2 . 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 61 /71
Wednesday, 9 February 1994
14 . Undertakes to set up, at the beginning of the next parliamentary term , an interparliamen tary delegation composed of Members of this Parliament and representatives of indigenous peoples and instructs its Subcommittee on Human Rights to monitor questions concerning their rights very closely ; 15 . Calls on the Member States of the European Union to show their determination to provide tangible protection for indigenous peoples by acceding to ILO Convention No 1 69 and by calling on other states to do the same ;
16 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council , the Commission , the Secretary-General of the UN, the Secretary of the UN Subcommittee on Sustainable Develop ment and the Secretary of the UN Commission on Human Rights .

I. ECONOMIC SITUATION
4 .

30 . In conclusion , considers that the further expansion of cooperation between the People's Republic of China and the EU should be accompanied above all by : (a) ratification by the People's Republic of China of the United Nations International Covenant on Economic , Social and Cultural Rights, the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the effective application of the United Nations Convention against cruel , inhuman or degrading treatment of 1987 , (b) ending the system of ' laogai ' or labour camps and the release of political prisoners , (c) ensuring respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of the people of Tibet and opening negotiations with the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in exile , (d) securing agreement that the human rights of the people of Hong Kong and Macao are respected after these territories return to Chinese sovereignty ;

4. Kaliningrad
A3-0036/94
Resolution on Kaliningrad (Konigsberg), a Russian exclave in the Baltic region : situation and outlook from a European viewpoint
The European Parliament,
— having regard to the motion for a resolution tabled by Mr Poettenng and others on the situation in the Kaliningrad region (B3-0013/92), 28 . 2 . 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 61 /75
Wednesday, 9 February 1994
— having regard to the Commission communication to the Council on the Community's relations with the independent states of the former Soviet Union (SEC(92)0373), — having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure , — having regard to the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Security (A3-0036/94),
A. whereas as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent restoration of sovereignty to the Baltic States and Belorussia, the Kaliningrad region (Oblast) has , in geographical terms, been isolated from Russia, the state under whose jurisdiction it falls in every other respect, B. whereas the exclave status of the Kaliningrad region constitutes a situation that warrants special treatment in the context of the European Union's external relations and its cooperation with Russia, C. whereas failure to act and rigid adherence to the economic and political status quo in the region could have the effect of destabilizing the Baltic States and all the countries bordering the Baltic Sea,
D. whereas assistance from the European Union in the economic sphere and in connection with know-how could do much to avert a potentially explosive geopolitical situation , E. whereas , precisely because of its associations with Europe , Kaliningrad is of great political and economic importance to Russia, F. whereas Kaliningrad will scarcely be able to survive in the long term unless it receives external support (from Russia and/or Western countries), G. whereas a disproportionately high number of Russian military personnel and their families are currently living in the Kaliningrad region , H. disturbed at the economic decline of Kaliningrad brought about by cuts in central government subsidies , the ever-widening gap between revenue and minimum expenditure , and the dearth of foreign investment,
I. Takes the view that the future of the Kaliningrad region is a matter of direct and pressing concern for Russia, the countries bordering the region , and the European Union ; 2 . Is convinced that an inability to take immediate action will inevitably lead to a further alarming decline in the region's economy , which might in turn entail serious adverse consequences for social and political stability in the Baltic States and all the countries bordering the Baltic Sea; 3 . Supports the moves by the Russian President and the regional administrative leadership to revitalize the region's economy ; 4 . Points out, however, that the ' free economic area' status being proposed for the region as a whole is impossible to put into effect in its present form because the necessary implementing provisions have not been laid down and there is no clear-cut framework within which to operate (certainty as to the law , investment protection , clear tax guidelines , efficient bureaucracy); 5 . Is of the opinion that immediate action is essential in order genuinely to open up the region to investment, to retrain military personnel and to scale down the Russian military presence to 'reasonable' proportions ; 6 . Is convinced that the European Union should take action to alleviate the region's current and medium-term economic difficulties and encompass the region more fully within European economic cooperation processes ; 7 . Recommends that Kaliningrad , the Baltic States and Poland should intensify their three-cornered cooperation and that the Council of Baltic States should play an active role in helping them to do so ; 8 . Recommends that, following the model of Western European practice, Kaliningrad, Lithuania and Poland should establish cooperation in the immediate vicinity of their common borders , not least with a view to tackling ecological problems by which they are all affected ; No C 61 /76 Official Journal of the European Communities 28 . 2 . 94
Wednesday, 9 February 1994
9 . Recommends that the Kaliningrad region should be incorporated to a greater extent into European transport and telecommunications systems and that procedures at each of the various frontiers should be modelled on and brought into line with EU standards ; considers that this could be brought about most effectively by , among other things , building a ' Hansa motorway ' running from Hamburg via Gdansk (Danzig) and Kaliningrad (Konigsberg) as far as Riga and St Petersburg and by setting up modern and efficient checkpoints on the border with Poland ; 10 . Recommends that investment be channelled into the provision of basic tourist facilities with the aim of promoting tourism ;
1 1 . Believes that Europe-oriented institutes — such as a faculty of European studies at the University of Kaliningrad — should be set up to impart expertise in the areas of management, economic sciences and international law and , more generally , to foster human and cultural contacts ;
12 . Calls on the Council and Commission , when conducting the current negotiations on a partnership agreement with Russia, to make provision for a special clause on trade and cooperation with Kaliningrad and to supplement the agreement with a protocol laying down detailed arrangements for such cooperation ;
13 . Is of the opinion that the Russian Government should grant wider-ranging rights to the region by according Kaliningrad a status that would empower it to negotiate independently with the World Bank , the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Community and other bodies ; 14 . Considers that the Kaliningrad region must be prevented from becoming a ' Baltic backyard', but rather should develop into a solid bridge linking Western Europe , Belorussia, Russia and the three Baltic States into a kind of ' Euro-region';
15 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission , the Council , the parliaments of the Member States , and the government and parliament of the Russian Federation .

D. whereas Albania can make an essential contribution towards peaceful coexistence and integration in the Balkan region ,

Reaffirms its support for democratization in Albania, which it hopes will be achieved without adverse repercussions and disturbances and points out that one of the main priorities is the establishment of a true constitutional state based on a clear separation of powers , with a properly trained , politically independent judiciary ;

3 . Welcomes the measures taken by Albania to demilitarize society by reforming and cutting the size of the armed forces and the police force ;
4 . Notes the recommendations made by Mr Van der Stoel , the CSCE High Commissioner on national minorities , to the Albanian Government, including the importance of creating a special office for minority questions , the possibility for members of the minority to initiate complaints, restitution of, or compensation for, property belonging to the churches , and the need for effective protection of the population against crime , while avoiding excessive or disproportionate use of force by the police ;
5 .

Wednesday, 9 February 1994
8 . Believes that the next step in relations between the European Union and Albania is best constructed within the framework of an Association agreement and invites the Council and Commission to come forward to Parliament as soon as possible with proposals designed to secure this end , in accordance with the same principles and conditions applied to other central and eastern European countries ;
9 . Believes that Albania represents an ideal testing-ground for the ' sustainable development ' advocated at the UNCED meeting in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and calls on the international . institutions (IMF, World Bank , OECD , UNDP, etc .) to act accordingly by guaranteeing a sustainable social , environmental and cultural impact and concentrating on projects which , by virtue of their size , their impact on employment, the know-how they transfer, their environmental impact and their capacity to generate ancillary activities and encourage creativity , will make the most of the country's natural and human resources ;
10 . Hopes that a substantial proportion of the aid granted to Albania will be used in an impartial , pluralistic manner for aims and projects connected with the democratization of the country ;
1 1 . Reiterates its view that respect for democratic principles and political freedoms in Albania is an essential precondition for any aid or bilateral or multilateral cooperation ;

13 . Calls on the Community and its Member States to promote , in particular, initiatives allowing young Albanians to emigrate legally for a given period of time within the framework of educational , vocational training and continuing training programmes and calls on local and regional authorities, universities and other institutions to set up twinning and exchange programmes along these lines ;

1 7 . Calls on the Albanian authorities to continue to do all they can to bring peace and stability to the Balkans and urges the Community and its Member States to monitor respect for the human , civil and political rights of all ethnic groups — including those of Albanian origin — in the region who are denied their rights or are oppressed , as are the Albanians of Kosovo ;

— having regard to the motion for a resolution by Mr Staes on a ban on imports of goods produced with child labour (B3- 1352/93),
— having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,
— having regard to the report by the Committee on External Economic Relations and the opinion of the Committee on Social Affairs , Employment and the Working Environment (A3-0007/94),
A. mindful of the globalization of international economic activity and the resultant far-reaching changes in the international division of labour,
B. whereas international trade should be a special means of introducing social innovation that would permit greater respect for workers' rights ,
C. whereas those who set GATT up recognized the principles of comparative advantage and so did not become involved in the field of fair working standards ,
D. mindful of the millions of children reduced to slavery throughout the world making goods at derisory prices , in violation of basic human rights ,
E. whereas serious violations of ILO Conventions also occur in the Member States, most of which have accepted and ratified them , particularly with regard to domestic staff and workers employed in numerous clandestine work-places (especially in the textiles industry), where people work under appalling conditions , without social protection and in return for a mere pittance ,
F. whereas the Community , which remains one of the most powerful economic and trading blocs in the world, should set an example to both developed and developing countries with regard to respect for labour rights ,
G. mindful of the tens of thousands of prisoners throughout the world who are exploited and even tortured in veritable factories , part of whose output is intended for the West,
H. mindful of the indispensable role played by the trade unions with regard to respect for workers ' rights throughout the world ,
. I. mindful of the essential work which the ILO has carried out over the past 75 years, within the limits of its powers , in the field of workers ' rights ,
J. whereas the goals of social justice and fair competition can only be achieved on the basis of a code of minimum working standards linked to the agreements governing international trade ,
K. whereas on several occasions in the past Parliament has called for the introduction of a social clause in international trade ,
1 . Believes that it is vitally important that a number of ILO conventions be observed by all Member States and third countries in all circumstances, particularly the conventions restricting the use of child labour (Nos 5 and 138), those prohibiting forced labour (Nos 29 and 105 ) and those guaranteeing the right to join trade unions and the right to engage in collective bargaining (Nos 87 and 98);
2 . Considers it essential that a social clause designed to combat child and forced labour and to encourage trade union freedoms and the freedom to engage in collective bargaining on the basis of the ILO conventions mentioned above be introduced in the multilateral and unilateral framework (GSP) of international trade , and that, in doing so, account be taken of the importance of national and regional characteristics and of the diversity of historical , cultural and religious backgrounds ; 28 . 2 . 94 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 61 /91
Wednesday, 9 February 1994
3 . Considers that the introduction of a social clause in international trade must not become a means of increased protectionism directed against developing countries but that, on the contrary , it should become a factor in the struggle against underdevelopment and violations of human rights ;
4 . Expresses the hope that, following negotiations between the two sides of industry , foreign investment by multinational companies will permit not only the transfer of new technologies and management skills but also, and above all , social innovations based on the clause referred to above ;
5 . Calls therefore for importing companies and their associated distribution circuits likewise to cease social dumping practices and ensure strict observance of the ILO Conventions referred to in paragraph 1 ; calls upon the Commission to study corrective measures in this context ;
6 . Considers it essential that the introduction of a social clause in multilateral trade Regulations is included in the responsibilities of the future World Trade Organization (WTO) and consequently instructs the European Union to ensure that the Declaration of the Ministerial Conference closing the Uruguay Round contains a commitment and specific agreements to achieve this priority objective ; '
7 . Calls for Article XX($) of GATT to be changed by introducing a ban on child and forced labour and the right to join trade unions and engage in collective bargaining ; accordingly , considers it essential that a code be negotiated between all the Contracting Parties to determine the way in which these principles can be implemented in practice ;
8 . Considers it important that such a code should include a clause concerning mandatory consultation within the future World Trade Organization and, until that institution is set up, between the European Union and the countries concerned before measures to deal with a suspected violation of ILO Conventions are considered ; regards it as essential , moreover, that the code make provision for an appeals and/or arbitration procedure ;
9 . Believes that proper enforcement mechanisms should be established, preferably under the GATT and the WTO , so as to ensure that the social clause is respected by individual companies in all signatory countries ; believes that the GATT and the WTO should work in close collaboration with the ILO when panels rule on any conflicts arising from the application of the social clause ;
10 . Believes that the social partners in all countries will and should have an important role in monitoring and reviewing the application of the social clause and above all in seeing that its provisions are respected and enforced ; such a role should include the possibility of making direct complaints to the Commission ;
1 1 . Emphasizes the importance of reactivating Article XX(e) of the GATT, particularly with regard to the reinstatement of China in GATT or the future World Trade Organization ;
1 2 . Proposes that the ILO , while retaining its independence, be involved in monitoring respect for workers ' rights in conjunction with the future World Trade Organization ;
13 . Hopes that the future World Trade Organization will include an advisory committee, with members from the ILO and the countries concerned , which will have the power to lodge complaints against multinationals or states that flout' the conventions enshrined in the social clause ;
14 . Calls on the Commission to introduce a social incentive clause as a means of combating underdevelopment in the new ten-year arrangement for the Community's Generalized System of Preferences ;
15 . Calls for a financial instrument to be set up following the 1994 annual GSP renewal to permit the implementation of action programmes to encourage the education of children , literacy and the establishment of medical provisions for children who have suffered as a result of bad working conditions and to provide aid for the reintegration of political prisoners and for the setting up of free trade unions and the encouragement of trade union activities ; No C 61 /92 Official Journal of the European Communities 28 . 2 . 94
Wednesday, 9 February 1994
16 . Insists that the European Union should take the lead in pushing for the inclusion of social clauses in trade agreements and in this context urges that the Commission support the inclusion of a social clause during the renegotiation of the Generalized System of Preferences ;
17 . Believes that the links between the European Union and the ILO should be strengthened through joint activities such as the pilot IPECL programme (International Programme on Elimination of Child Labour);
1 8 . Calls upon the Commission to consider ways of guaranteeing respect for labour rights and how monitoring could be carried out ;
1 9 . Calls on the Commission to make specific proposals to the Council and Parliament before 31 December 1994 based on the principles stated in this resolution ;
20 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council , the Commission , the governments of the Member States , the ILO and the GATT Secretariat .

— having regard to Rule 148 of its Rules of Procedure ,
— having regard to the report of the Committee on Culture , Youth, Education and the Media and the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Citizens' Rights (A3-0042/94),
A. encouraged by the commitment, contained in Article 128 of the EC Treaty , to the Community contributing to the flowering of the cultures of the Member States while respecting their national and regional diversity ,
B. declaring the need for a European linguistic culture and recognising that its scope also includes protection of the linguistic heritage , the overcoming of the language barrier, the promotion of lesser-used languages and the safeguarding of minority languages ,
C. encouraged by the process of democratization in central and eastern Europe and in particular by the determination of recently democratized peoples to promote their own languages and cultures ,
D. whereas all peoples have the right to respect for their language and culture and must therefore have the necessary legal means to protect and promote them ,
E. whereas the linguistic diversity of the European Union is a key element in the Union 's cultural wealth,
F. whereas the protection and promotion of the Union's linguistic diversity is a key factor in the creation of a peaceful and democratic Europe ,
G. whereas the Community has a responsibility to support the Member States in developing their cultures and protecting national and regional diversity , including the diversity of indigenous regional and minority languages ,
H. whereas the Community should encourage action by the Member states in cases where the protection of such languages and cultures is inadequate or non-existent,
I. Whereas the Community also has a duty in its relations with the governments of associated and third countries to draw attention to the rights of minorities and , if necessary , to support governments in finding ways of ensuring that these rights are safeguarded ; whereas it must also condemn any deliberate denial of these rights ,
J. Whereas the linguistic diversity of the European Union is a reflection of its cultural diversity and too often goes unrecognized ,
K. whereas language is an essential means of communication in the European Union now being created and whereas European integration must make the use of the most widespread languages as a way of communicating across the present internal borders compatible with protecting and safeguarding the less widespread languages in regional or transregional contexts ,
L. whereas the minority languages and cultures are also an integral part of the Union's culture and European heritage and whereas , from this point of view , the Community should provide them with legal protection and the appropriate financial resources to this end,
M. whereas many lesser used languages are endangered, with a rapid drop in the number of speakers , and whereas this threatens the well-being of specific population groups and greatly diminishes Europe's creative potential as a whole,
N. whereas , while the duty of every Member State government to protect and promote its official language(s) must be fully respected, it must not be exercised to the detriment of the lesser used languages and the people for whom they are the natural cultural vehicle ; NoC 61 / 1 12 Official Journal of the European Communities 28 . 2 . 94
Wednesday, 9 February 1994
O. whereas , however, the term ' minority languages and cultures ' may embrace phenomena of differing characteristics and dimensions according to the Member State in question and may be understood as referring to certain languages which are already official in some Member States but which do not receive adequate dissemination or identical status in the neighbour ing Member State or another Member State ,
1 . Calls for the principles and proposals set out in its aforementioned resolutions of 16 October 1981 , 11 February 1983 and 30 October 1987 to be fully applied ;

5 . Points out that the fact that a proportion of the citizens of a state use a language or have a culture which is different from the dominant one in that state or from the dominant one in a part or region of that state should not give rise to discrimination of any kind , or, in particular, to any form of social marginalisation that would impede their access to , or continuance in , employment ;
6 . Supports the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages , accorded the legal form of a European Convention as an effective yet flexible instrument for the protection and promotion of lesser used languages ;

12 . Calls for the languages spoken on overseas territories belonging to the Member States to enjoy the same rights and provisions as mainland languages ;
13 . In relation to non-territorial autochthonous languages (e.g. the Roma and Sinti languages and Yiddish) calls on all relevant bodies to apply mutatis mutandis the recommendations set out in this resolution ;
14 . Stresses that the recommendations contained in this resolution are not such as to jeopardize the territorial integrity or public order of the Member States , and furthermore , are not to be interpreted as implying the right to enter into any activity or carry out any action which contravenes the objectives of the United Nations Charter or any other obligation laid down in international law ;

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission , the Council , the central and regional governments of the Member States , the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe , the Standing Conference of Local and Regional Authorities of Europe , the Conference for Security and Co-operation in Europe , the United Nations and Unesco .

B3-0148, 0150, 0151 and 0152/94
Resolution on the state of enlargement negotiations with Austria, Sweden, Finland and Norway
The European Parliament,
— having regard to Rule 89 of its Rules of Procedure ,
— having regard to its earlier resolutions on enlargement, in particular its resolutions of 1 5 May 1991 on Community enlargement and relations with other European countries ('), 15 July 1993 on Community enlargement ( 2 ) and 17 November 1993 on the negotiations concerning enlargement of the Union to include Austria, Sweden , Finland and Norway ( 3),
— having regard to the conclusions of the European Council meetings in Lisbon , Edinburgh , Copenhagen and Brussels ,
— having regard to the statements by the Commission and the Council on progress made in the negotiations with the applicant countries ,
1 . Looks forward to the successful conclusion of the accession negotiations ;
2 . States its willingness to consider urgently , together with the Council , the institutional issues raised ;
3 . Stresses that it is impossible for Parliament to take a decision solely on a document summarizing the agreements and that it will be able to give its assent only when it has received the full texts of the treaties ;
4 . Recalls the conclusions of its above-mentioned resolution of 17 November 1993 concern ing the institutional aspects of enlargement ; reaffirms that the accession treaty must include the institutional changes needed to ensure that the Union operates smoothly , and calls on both the applicant countries and the Member States to carry out institutional reforms to guarantee that the decision-taking structure is democratic , effective and transparent ;
5 . Expresses its deep dissatisfaction at the way in which the recent European Council meeting in Brussels reacted to this request by actually ignoring it, as is shown by the mechanical adjustments it proposes for enlargement ;
6 . As regards the number of seats in the European Parliament, is pleased that the European Union has proposed the same number of seats as decided by Parliament itself in its resolutions on this matter ; can accept that, in view of Sweden 's population , the number of Swedish MEPs could be adjusted to 22 ;
7 . Welcomes the fact that the candidate countries all have a long tradition of open government ; is convinced that as full members they will contribute actively to the efforts of the present EU Member States with a view to rendering the institutions of the Union more open and democratic ; is convinced that the forthcoming enlargement of the European Union will be beneficial for all its members as well as for the four applicant countries and that it will contribute considerably to the creation of increased stability on the European continent ;

8 . Welcomes the fact that the four applicant countries have demonstrated their willingness to accept the acquis communautaire and the goal of European integration , and points out that the common foreign and security policy is one of the foundations of future European integration ;
9 . Is pleased that the negotiations on social policy appear to have been concluded ; recalls that the candidate countries all have high social standards and expects that, as full members , they will make major contributions to the European Union within the context of social and labour market policy in line with the goals laid down by the Treaty on European Union , including the goal of creating equal opportunities for men and women ;
10 . Welcomes the agreement at the December ministerial conferences that there should be a transition period of four years for environmental norms and standards during which a review of European Union legislation must take place ; draws attention , however, to outstanding environ mental issues that still need to be resolved, such as whaling ;
11 . Is convinced that an agreement can be found on the regional and agricultural policies to be implemented in the candidate countries that would take into account the preservation of employment in their thinly populated regions ; notes that it may be possible to use latitude , altitude and the length of the growing season as criteria for support ; emphasises , however, that in the transition , Accession Compensatory Amounts (ACAs), such as used with Spanish and Portuguese accession , should not be used as they would lead to the retention of frontier controls ;
12 . Underlines that the European Union will conclude free trade agreements with the Baltic countries ;
13 . Notes the closing of the essential chapter on common foreign and security policy , and takes it that all the applicant states will participate fully in ' the eventual framing of a common defence policy , which might in time lead to a common defence';
14 . Is concerned, however, that the difficulties on the EU side prevented the closing of the chapters on EMU ;
15 . Considers that the genuine problems posed by trans-Alpine traffic should be solved by means of general Community rules , in a non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly fashion ;
16 . Underlines that certain regions with a delicate environment must be protected from mass tourism by means of restrictions which do not lead to discrimination between citizens of the Union ;
1 7 . Calls on the Commission to take all necessary steps to ensure that adequate information on European integration is available to the populations in the four candidate countries ;
18 . Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Commission , the Council , the governments and parliaments of the Member States and of Austria, Sweden , Finland and Norway . No C 61 / 126 Official Journal of the European Communities 28 . 2 . 94
