Standing-in for the rapporteur, the chairman of the Committee on Development, Mr Kouchner, stated that the Regulation that had been submitted for approval by Parliament was aimed at implementing sustainable development and at promoting an awareness of environmental issues. He then provided various data to support his argument: water supplies in developing countries had declined by two-thirds since 1970; 1.7 billion people had no access to a sewage system, desertification cost 9 billion in Africa, 20 million hectares of tropical forest had been destroyed. Noting that the Community was not only the main donor but also a major polluter, the rapporteur pointed out that the regulation in question sought to give a stronger regional dimension to the programmes. This was why it was in need of an appropriate level of funding and effective coordination between the different programmes. Mr Kouchner then went on to refer to the 43 amendments that had been tabled again in spite of the Council’s refusal to extend the scope of the regulation. For example, the Committee on Development supported an unspecified period for the application of the regulation, whereas the Council had set a three-year deadline; the committee also wanted to see the withdrawal of the financial reference amount that the Council had set at a maximum limit of ECU 15 million for a period of three years. Finally, it proposed a type I committee instead of a type IIIa committee, as preferred by the Council. Commissioner Papoutsis said that the work of the Commission was inspired by the principles of the Rio Conference and by Article 130u of the Treaty. He also declared that the Commission was prepared to incorporate issues such as health, dangerous waste and environmental impact into the scope of the regulation.

Underlining the fact that by the year 2000 fifteen of the world’s cities would have a population of more than 11 million, and that 13 of these would be in developing countries, the rapporteur referred to the heavy responsibility weighing on Europe when it came to sources of global pollution. As indicators of this phenomenon, Mrs Taubira-Delannon mentioned the decline in forest areas, the fragility of inshore ecosystems, the threat to biodiversity and the over-exploitation of the urban environment. In view of this, she called for the budget heading for sustainable development in emerging countries to be increased over the period to the year 2000 on the basis of the criteria and priorities outlined in the report. Commissioner Pinheiro declared that he could take over more than two-thirds of the amendments tabled (33 out of 39): he accepted Nos 1, 2, 4 to 6, 8 to 18, 21 to 23, 25, 26, 31, 32, 34, 37 and 43 in full, and Nos 7, 19, 30, 41, 42, 44 and 48 in part. However, he could not accept a further 16 amendments, rejecting No 3 for strictly formal and technical reasons, along with Nos 20, 24, 27 to 29, 33, 35, 36, 38 to 40, 45 to 47 and 49. Amendments Nos 20 and 27 were particularly unacceptable because they would have introduced a certain rigidity that was incompatible with the pilot actions being proposed on the environment. Amendments Nos 29, 41, 42 and 44 were rejected for procedural reasons to do with the transfer of information between the institutions. Finally, Amendments Nos 38, 39 and 40 were being rejected because they did not comply with the modus vivendi in respect of comitology or were incompatible (as was the case with Amendment No 36) with the very organisation of the Commission.

As indicators of this phenomenon, Mrs Taubira-Delannon mentioned the decline in forest areas, the fragility of inshore ecosystems, the threat to biodiversity and the over-exploitation of the urban environment. In view of this, she called for the budget heading for sustainable development in emerging countries to be increased over the period to the year 2000 on the basis of the criteria and priorities outlined in the report. Commissioner Pinheiro declared that he could take over more than two-thirds of the amendments tabled (33 out of 39): he accepted Nos 1, 2, 4 to 6, 8 to 18, 21 to 23, 25, 26, 31, 32, 34, 37 and 43 in full, and Nos 7, 19, 30, 41, 42, 44 and 48 in part. However, he could not accept a further 16 amendments, rejecting No 3 for strictly formal and technical reasons, along with Nos 20, 24, 27 to 29, 33, 35, 36, 38 to 40, 45 to 47 and 49. Amendments Nos 20 and 27 were particularly unacceptable because they would have introduced a certain rigidity that was incompatible with the pilot actions being proposed on the environment. Amendments Nos 29, 41, 42 and 44 were rejected for procedural reasons to do with the transfer of information between the institutions. Finally, Amendments Nos 38, 39 and 40 were being rejected because they did not comply with the modus vivendi in respect of comitology or were incompatible (as was the case with Amendment No 36) with the very organisation of the Commission.

He then provided various data to support his argument: water supplies in developing countries had declined by two-thirds since 1970; 1.7 billion people had no access to a sewage system, desertification cost 9 billion in Africa, 20 million hectares of tropical forest had been destroyed. Noting that the Community was not only the main donor but also a major polluter, the rapporteur pointed out that the regulation in question sought to give a stronger regional dimension to the programmes. This was why it was in need of an appropriate level of funding and effective coordination between the different programmes. Mr Kouchner then went on to refer to the 43 amendments that had been tabled again in spite of the Council’s refusal to extend the scope of the regulation. For example, the Committee on Development supported an unspecified period for the application of the regulation, whereas the Council had set a three-year deadline; the committee also wanted to see the withdrawal of the financial reference amount that the Council had set at a maximum limit of ECU 15 million for a period of three years. Finally, it proposed a type I committee instead of a type IIIa committee, as preferred by the Council. Commissioner Papoutsis said that the work of the Commission was inspired by the principles of the Rio Conference and by Article 130u of the Treaty. He also declared that the Commission was prepared to incorporate issues such as health, dangerous waste and environmental impact into the scope of the regulation.
