BE PATIENT - PACIFIC ISLAND COUNTRIES WARNED ON TRADE NEGOTIATIONS |
Pacific Magazine
14 May 2007
As the deadline for the conclusion of negotiations of a new Enhanced Cooperation Package with the European Union looms, trade negotiators are meeting in Nadi this week to further firm up regional positions.
Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat Deputy Secretary General, Peter Forau (pictured on the right) says while the pace and the frequency of Pacific Islands’ negotiations with the EU has gained momentum, significant divergences in positions remain between both parties.
This has prompted the region to prepare a “red line” paper, reflecting “the region’s positions and expectations as regards our minimum requirements from an EPA, and therefore serve as non-compromising positions in areas of interest to our members.”
Forau says “the basic negotiating position of the Pacific ACP states … is that ‘nothing is agreed until everything is agreed’, that is, that PACP requirements must be met across the range of issues in the negotiations before an EPA can be signed.”
And he says Pacific countries which feel unable to make significant commitments to any component of the treaty must be able to sign up and participate in that component at a later date. Among the Pacific ACP states positions:
- Duty Free and Quota Free (DFQF) market access to be provided to all PACP exports from the entry into force of the EPA. The rules of origin in the EPA must take into account the unique combination of isolation, smallness and limited backward linkages in setting the criteria for originating status of manufactured or processed goods, and provide PACP producers with effective options for sourcing inputs from least-cost suppliers.
- meaningful market access in the area of temporary movement of natural persons. The minimum quota requested under this arrangement would cater for sufficient numbers of PACP nationals, recognizing the supply capabilities and commercial and development realities of the region together with development assistance for training, accreditation and recognition of qualifications, and organization of the access arrangement in those sectors in such a way and for such duration as to render temporary presence a commercially viable option for PACP nationals
- any EPA agreed with the EU must ensure that no PACP country is made worse off under the EPA than under existing bilateral fisheries access agreements. The PACPS envisage that EPA must address the region’s primary interests in the sector, including fisheries access, access fees, management, conservation and environmental issues and development assistance to support the development and growth of the domestic fisheries industry, especially small and medium enterprises.
- an investment chapter in the EPA that contains binding provisions that would guarantee post-establishment treatment to approved investors as well as EU commitments against corruption and derogation from environmental and labor standards. - reforms of the methods of implementation of the Cotonou Agreement financial instruments to ensure that the assistance these institutions deliver is efficient, effective and responsive to the unique needs and circumstances of small and medium scale enterprises.
- the EC must provide legally-binding, additional financial resources to cover the costs of EPA adjustment and capacity building for PACPS to implement the EPA. It is also therefore essential for the region to establish a regionally-owned adjustment facility to channel resources for financing EPA-related costs in an efficient, transparent and timely manner.
Forau says Pacific ACP members should be in a position to table their own national negotiating positions by August, and says the European Union has shown “a refreshing willingness to enter into substantive discussions on the basis of our draft texts and other proposals. That must auger well for the future, although much hard negotiating remains.”
He urges Pacific Islands to be patient and “not make concessions too early in the negotiations.” |
