The rapporteur, Mrs Gunther (EPP, D), stressed that in the wake of the free elections and the installation of a new government in South Africa it was now necessary to develop cooperation with that country, particularly in respect of the European Programme for Reconstruction. She also wanted the heads of the Commission delegation in South Africa to be able to authorise expenditure on projects and actions funded under the present regulation up to a maximum limit of ECU 500 000. In addition, the rapporteur called for the reference to an appropriation of ECU 500 million for the implementation of the regulation for the period 1996-99 to be deleted. Commissioner Pinheiro referred to how much Parliament’s amendments reflected the similarity of views held by Parliament and the Commission on the subject of actions to be taken in South Africa with a view to strengthening the democratic process currently under way; he also wanted to see greater participation by European and African NGOs. As far as the amendments were concerned, he was opposed to Amendment No 2, which referred to the maximum amount to be spent by the heads of delegation in South Africa, since for the moment there was insufficient personnel. He agreed with Amendment No 3, which recommended setting up a type IIa management committee, rather than a type IIIa regulatory committee. He concluded by stating that he supported Amendment No 4, which proposed not setting a deadline for the expiry of the regulation and deleting any mention of a financial allocation for the implementation of the regulation for the period 1996-99, since such a reference was the responsibility of the budgetary authority.
The rapporteur underlined the need to adjust the form and intensity of cooperation with South Africa. Environmental protection should be added to the fields covered by the proposal for a regulation; non-governmental organisations should also receive financial support. Finally, Mrs GÜNTHER asked that consideration be given to all of the regional problems in southern Africa. Commissioner PAPOUTSIS pointed out that the Commission’s mandate was to achieve gradual and reciprocal trade liberalisation, which was a long-term objective for South Africa. In the short term, South Africa was hoping for an agreement containing provisions similar to those in the Lomé Convention. As regards the conclusion of a free trade agreement, the Commissioner stated that the EU’s was flexible on this issue and that it would have to be approved by the WTO in order to comply with GATT rules. At present, the Commission could not take over Amendment No 4 as it felt that the amount proposed was too high. Similarly, Amendment No 6 contradicted previous decisions of the Council.
