Madam President, the Committee on International Trade shares the general concern expressed by the Committee on Budgets that the Community, having made promises to third countries, ensures that there are adequate resources in the budget to meet these promises.
Mr Pittella is to be congratulated on the external element of his report, but the Trade Committee has three specific points that are not, in our opinion, adequately covered in the report. Firstly, the World Trade talks are going to come to a conclusion in the next year or two and they will go through a crucial phase at the end of this year. We believe that to have credibility these talks need a parliamentary dimension and for a parliamentary dimension to be successful it needs to be funded, so we would like to see more money in the budget to cover the parliamentary dimension of the WTO.
Secondly, the macro-financial assistance that goes to third countries, most particularly to Bosnia and Herzegovina, does not, in our opinion, have an adequate legal base and it is not properly monitored. We believe we need the codecision procedure implemented for this to bring transparency and accountability to this important area of expenditure. Finally, for a long time we have had an executive trading programme for Japan and Korea which has enabled us to get access to these markets. We believe it is now time to extend these programmes to cover China and India."@en1
