The European Parliament adopted a resolution on trade and investment barriers.
It discusses the tariff and non tariff barriers (NTBs) that pose difficulties for the EU’s market access to different countries in the world, including Russia, Japan, China, India, Brazil and Argentina. The Commission's Trade and Investment Barriers Report 2011 lists examples where the EU's market access to different countries in the world, including industrialised and major emerging economies and WTO members, is being constrained more by various non-tariff barriers (NTBs) than by trade tariffs, which are being waived substantially as globalisation progresses.
Reducing NTBs : Parliament is of the view that removing or reducing unjustified NTBs applied by the EU's key strategic partner countries by means of regulatory dialogue should be one of the key regulatory priorities of the new EU trade policy under the Europe 2020 Strategy.
Accordingly, it calls on the Commission systematically to address the great variety, technical complexity and political sensitivity of NTBs as part of a holistic strategy, including enhanced regulatory dialogue, with respect to all the EU’s trading partners, particularly those of strategic importance. It also takes the view that insistence on reciprocity of market access for industrialised and emerging countries should be an integral part of EU trade strategy, on a par with the removal or lowering of NTBs.
Members call on the Commission to draw a clear distinction between those NTBs which give rise to unfair distortions of competition and those which reflect legitimate public-policy aims, notably in relation to public health and the protection of the environment. They emphasise, for example, that the European laws on GMOs and the health- and plant-health-related rules affecting agriculture cannot be regarded as unfair NTBs but should, on the contrary, be defended in the international trade arena. They also remind the Commission that European Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) policy towards developing countries should remain within the TRIPS agreement obligations and must fully respect the 2001 Doha Declaration on the TRIPS agreement and Public Health , especially in the field of generic medicines and public health, so as to leave the developing countries policy space to address public interest concerns.
Trade agreements : Parliament asks the Commission to address these widespread and persistent issues in all plurilateral and bilateral trade agreements, especially bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs), and to ensure that NTBs are given at least as much attention as is currently afforded tariff elimination in all appropriate regulatory fora, particularly in its trade negotiations with industrialised and emerging economies. In the field of cooperation with developing countries, especially LDCs and Small Island Developing States (SIDs) , priority must be accorded to aid for trade and to technical and financial assistance, in order to help such countries improve their regulatory environment while taking account of their specific needs in terms of developing their internal markets and protecting their embryonic industries and their agricultural structures, which in many cases are vulnerable.
The Commission is invited to:
continue its efforts to maintain an up-to-date inventory of key barriers faced by EU exporters and investors in important third-country markets , in particular FTA partners, including the number and nature of concerns raised by Member States and companies, as a tool for assessing the situation in the third countries; investigate whether there is a correlation between specific NTBs in the EU and in third countries and current job creation or losses in the EU ; explore the possibility of establishing an early warning mechanism to detect NTBs and strengthen its existing analytical tools for qualitative evaluation thereof and a clearer definition of unjustified NTBs. This mechanism should work via the EU delegations based in third countries, in cooperation with the bodies already set up by Member States; improve international regulatory cooperation and convergence of regulatory requirements on the basis of international standards and, where possible, engage in regulatory dialogue to address existing or potential future barriers to trade with a view to limiting disputes and associated trade costs; among the parties to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), promote the public procurement disciplines based on international standards as developed in the GPA and to use or expand existing regulatory dialogues in order to enhance cooperation on the regulatory framework and the restructuring and, where appropriate, removal of existing direct and indirect discriminatory practices in the relations of the EU with its industrialised partner countries; maintain a positive and strong stance during the negotiations on China's signing of the GPA in order to secure an equal reciprocal opening-up of Chinese procurement procedures as well as equal treatment and predictable conditions for European businesses.
Priority sectors: Parliament considers that due priority should be given to trade and investment barriers that affect European service sectors, including ICT and telecommunication, professional and business services, financial services, construction, retail and distribution.
With regard to raw materials , the committee considers that the Commission should pursue a sustainable, comprehensive and cross-policy strategy, while recognising that export restrictions and export taxes may be seen as important for the support of development objectives, the protection of the environment or the sustainable exploitation of natural resources in LDCs and SIDs and other developing countries, with the exclusion of BRIC countries. Noting that the majority of WTO members using export taxes are developing countries and LDCs, Members call on the EU to refrain from attempting to ban the use of export taxes for LDCs and SIDs and other developing countries, with the exclusion of BRIC countries, at the WTO and in bilateral trade agreements and Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), as it would limit their policy space to use this tool for value-addition, diversification, infant industry protection, food security, revenue and environmental considerations as long as they have not reached advanced developing status.
Mechanism within the WTO : according to the Parliament, one of the keys to lowering NTBs to trade and investment is reform of the GPA in the WTO , with due regard to the multifunctional nature of procurement policies, and they call on the major emerging economies to participate in this process and to sign and ratify the future agreement without delay.
Lastly, Members take the view that a mediation mechanism should be created in the WTO to facilitate the removal of NTBs in a constructive, effective, rapid and non-confrontational manner, inspired by the SOLVIT system, in accordance with similar earlier suggestions from both the EU and India.
The Committee on International Trade adopted an own-initiative report by Robert STURDY (ECR, UK) on trade and investment barriers. It discusses the tariff and non tariff barriers (NTBs) that pose difficulties for the EU’s market access to different countries in the world, including Russia, Japan, China, India, Brazil and Argentina. It takes the view that removing or reducing unjustified NTBs applied by the EU's key strategic partner countries by means of regulatory dialogue should be one of the key regulatory priorities of the new EU trade policy under the Europe 2020 Strategy .

In addition, the committee considers that the European Parliament should give more attention in future to the manner in which NTBs, especially unjustified NTBs,have been addressed when trade agreements to ensure access for European exporters and investors, in particular SMEs, to third country markets are assessed, while at the same time respecting the need for special, differentiated treatment for developing countries as provided for by WTO disciplines.
The report urges the Commission to:
continue its efforts to maintain an up-to-date inventory of key barriers faced by EU exporters and investors in important third-country markets , in particular FTA partners, including the number and nature of concerns raised by Member States and companies, as a tool for assessing the situation in the third countries; investigate whether there is a correlation between specific NTBs in the EU and in third countries and current job creation or losses in the EU ; explore the possibility of establishing an early warning mechanism to detect NTBs and strengthen its existing analytical tools for qualitative evaluation thereof and a clearer definition of unjustified NTBs.

Members believe that one of the keys to lowering NTBs to trade and investment is reform of the GPA in the WTO , with due regard to the multifunctional nature of procurement policies, and they call on the major emerging economies to participate in this process and to sign and ratify the future agreement without delay. They recommend looking into regulatory means of ensuring that public procurement contracts for projects funded with EU subsidies may not be awarded to state-owned undertakings from third countries which have signed neither the GPA nor bilateral mutual market-opening agreements, or alternatively that in such cases the EU may demand repayment of the subsidies.
With regard to raw materials , the committee considers that the Commission should pursue a sustainable, comprehensive and cross-policy strategy, while recognising that export restrictions and export taxes may be seen as important for the support of development objectives, the protection of the environment or the sustainable exploitation of natural resources in LDCs and SIDs and other developing countries, with the exclusion of BRIC countries.

Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Notes that the Commission is pushing for a comprehensive investment liberalisation framework with the aim of achieving maximum protection for EU investors;
Amendment 10 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 d (new) 1d. Condemns the fact in several African countries, especially in DR Congo, income from extraction of minerals have contributed to enriching rebel groups and fuelling civil wars and other armed conflicts; reiterates its call for addressing effectively ‘conflict minerals’ in Africa that have resulted in the death and displacement of millions of people; urges the Commission to propose a legislative initiative on conflict minerals on the line of the US Dodd-Frank Act;
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 Amendment 12 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 Amendment 13 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2.
Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Encourages the Commission to continue its efforts to maintain an up-to- date inventory of key barriers faced by EU exporters and investors, particularly in countries where the EU has FTA’s; which would include the number and nature of the complaints made; maintains that this tool be used to assess the development of third countries’ market openess;
Amendment 15 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Reiterates its call for addressing effectively the problem of ‘conflict minerals’ and other resources related to conflict in Africa that have resulted in the death and displacement of millions of people; urges the Commission to propose a legislative initiative on conflict minerals on the line of the US Dodd-Frank Act even if that might at first have a negative impact on artisanal mining; points out that such legislation is in effect pro- business as it would strengthen legal security and long-term political stability; maintains that, in order for such initiatives to work, a more comprehensive, global approach is needed, an example being the recent efforts of the OECD to help companies procure minerals responsibly;
Amendment 16 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 Amendment 18 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Points out that export taxes are one of the few remaining trade policy tools at the disposal of developing countries with which to pursue development goals; in particular, underlines that export taxes are permitted under the WTO rules, and that the majority of WTO members using export taxes are developing and least developed countries; recalls that low income developing countries are more dependent on trade taxes than other countries and it is often very difficult for them to replace revenues lost due to tariff reductions, because of the narrow existing domestic tax bases; accordingly, calls on the EU to fully respect the right of developing countries to regulate or use export taxes in their public interest; henceforth, urges the EU to refrain from attempting to ban the use of export taxes at the WTO and in bilateral trade agreements and Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), as it would limit their policy space to use this tool for value-addition, diversification, infant industry protection, food security, revenue and environmental considerations;
Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Points out that export taxes are
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Notes that the Commission is pushing for a comprehensive investment liberalisation framework with the aim of achieving maximum protection for EU investors; underlines that different case studies show how international investment rules may inhibit governments from putting in place policies aimed at protecting public health, regulating access to land and water or ensuring adequate standards of living for a vulnerable social group; recalls that it is vital that investment treaties provide a better balance between the rights and obligations of investors and host governments; urges the EU not to ban the use of performance requirements (local content, technology transfer, environment sustainability, etc.) as they are often prerequisites to ensure
Amendment 20 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Urges the Commission to utilise its communication channels with like- minded partners to address NTB’s and other regulatory obstacles in third countries, with a view to developing joint strategies for the removal of these barriers;
Amendment 21 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Stresses that the negotiations should not have a negative impact on developing countries’ abilities to foster South-South trade;
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 b (new) 3b. Points out that EU trade negotiations should contribute to improving the livelihoods of marginalised producers and workers in developing countries, for instance through initiatives that aim at ensuring that small producers are an integral part of the supply chains;
Amendment 23 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 Amendment 24 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4.
Amendment 25 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4.
Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Stresses that higher intellectual property (IP) standards negotiated within bilateral trade agreements may erode the flexibilities available to developing countries under the multilateral IP protection regime; calls on the EU fully to respect TRIPS flexibilities, especially those relating to public health and access to medicines, so as to leave the developing countries policy space to
Amendment 27 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Deplores the use of trade and investment barriers in green goods by some major emerging countries; notes that such barriers represent an impediment to the growth of a genuinely global market in green and renewable technologies, and calls on the Commission to apply further pressure on major trading partners to liberalise green goods within the Doha negotiations; considers that the removal of such barriers should be a major aim of the Commission’s forthcoming proposal on third country access to public procurement;
Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 Amendment 29 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5.
Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Notes that the Commission is pushing for a comprehensive investment liberalisation framework with the aim of achieving maximum protection for EU investors; evokes the responsibility for policy coherence for development as laid down in Article 208 TFEU and recalls that it is vital that investment treaties provide a better balance between the rights and obligations of investors and host governments; urges the EU not to ban the use of performance requirements (local content, technology transfer, environment sustainability, etc.) as they are often prerequisites to ensure that foreign investment benefits the domestic market;
Amendment 30 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5.
Amendment 31 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Regrets the fact that, in spite of opposition from developing countries, the EU is pushing for binding liberalisation commitments in General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) negotiations,
Amendment 32 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Regrets the fact that, in spite of opposition from developing countries, the EU is pushing for binding liberalisation commitments in General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) negotiations, regardless of their concerns that it could lead to harmful import surges, thereby undermining the development of the developing countries’ domestic services; calls on the EU fully to respect flexibility mechanisms in the GATS; highlights the fact that without a comprehensive assessment of trade in services, developing countries are unable to assess the costs and benefits of GATS liberalisation;
Amendment 33 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Points out that the introduction of the reciprocity principle regarding public procurement is purely theoretical, while being harmful for developing countries, as it will i.e. hamper the development of infant industries and processing; urges therefore the EU to respect fully the ‘special and differential treatment’ granted to developing countries;

Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Notes that the Commission is pushing for a more assertive approach to ensure that European companies gain access to third country markets, especially in emerging countries, in the ambit of services, investments, public procurement markets, intellectual property rights and the supply of raw materials;
Amendment 7 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Notes that a clear distinction needs to be made between emerging developing countries, developing countries and least developed countries (LDC’s); highlights the fact that trade between developing countries can also contain significant barriers, including NTBs, and that this issue should be address in ad hoc negotiations;
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 b (new) 1b. Stresses that access to land and water is essential for ensuring food security and poverty reduction; but notes that in many developing countries, domestic laws are not well suited to guaranteeing the sustainable management of natural resources or affording vulnerable groups adequate protection; recalls that, in line with the principle of policy coherence for development, the EU must strive to promote the equitable and sustainable use of the world’s natural resources and design its trade policy accordingly;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 c (new) 1c. Notes with concern that the EU is pushing for investment liberalisation that would increase the rights of foreign companies to tap raw materials; recalls that foreign investment in the extraction of mineral resources in Africa has generated few development benefits, as foreign investment has been characterised by secret tax deals and concessions depriving African governments of important mining revenue, low levels of technology transfer and repatriation of profits out of the countries; considers that in the absence of regulations governing natural resources extraction, increased openness to foreign investment can accelerate unsustainable use of natural resources;

Amendment 13 #

Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 b (new) 2b. Underlines the added difficulties faced by SMEs when tackling foreign regulations and non-tariff barriers, notably the legal and administrative burdens associated with Trade Defence Instrument procedures;
Amendment 15 #

Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a.
