Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
(3)  Humanitarian aid is of course the primary instrument in this kind of situation and the Union has been at the forefront in this field since the beginning of the emergency.
(3)  Humanitarian aid is of course the primary instrument in this kind of situation and the Union has been at the forefront in this field since the beginning of the emergency pledging in excess of EUR 415 million in emergency aid to Pakistan.
Amendment 4
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
(4)  It will be important to use all available means to support Pakistan's recovery from this emergency and progress towards future development.
(4)  It will be important to use all available means to support Pakistan's recovery from this emergency, including the proposed exceptional trade measures to boost Pakistan's exports in order to contribute to its future economic development while ensuring that consistency and coherence is maintained at all levels with a view to developing a sustainable long-term strategy.
Amendment 5
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a)  The severity of this natural disaster demands an immediate and substantial response, which would take into account the geostrategic importance of Pakistan's partnership with the Union, mainly through Pakistan's key role in the fight against terrorism, while contributing to the overall development, security and stability of the region.
Amendment 6
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 b (new)
(4b)  The effects of the autonomous trade preferences should be able to be measured concretely in terms of job creation, poverty eradication and the sustainable development of Pakistan's working population and poor.
Amendment 7
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
(6)  In particular, the European Council underlined its firm commitment to grant exclusively to Pakistan increased market access to the Union through the immediate and time limited reduction of duties on key imports from Pakistan.
(6)  In particular, the European Council underlined its firm commitment to grant exclusively to Pakistan increased market access to the Union through the exceptional, immediate and time limited reduction of duties on key imports from Pakistan. On receipt of this mandate, the Commission proposed a package identifying 75 tariff lines specific to Pakistan's core export sectors in those areas worst hit by the floods, asserting that an increase in Pakistani exports to the Union of EUR 100 million or more a year would provide real, substantial and worthwhile assistance to the region.
Amendment 8
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a)  Pakistan's trade with the Union is mainly composed of textiles and clothing products which according to the Commission accounted for 73.7% of Pakistani exports to the Union in 2009, but also ethanol and leather, which are sensitive industrial products in certain Member States where jobs in the industry have already been heavily impacted by the global recession and the industries are struggling to adapt to a new global trading environment.
Amendment 9
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6 b (new)
(6b)  The textiles sector is of key importance to the Pakistani economy, accounting for 8.5% of GDP and employing 38% of the labour force about half of whom are women.
Amendment 10
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
(7)  It is therefore appropriate to extend autonomous trade preferences to Pakistan by suspending for a limited period of time all tariffs for certain products of export interest to Pakistan. The provision of these trade preferences would not cause any meaningful adverse effects on the domestic market of the Union and would not affect negatively least developed Members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
(7)   Given the hardship being suffered by the Pakistani people due to the devastating floods it is therefore appropriate to extend exceptional autonomous trade preferences to Pakistan by suspending for a limited period of time all tariffs for certain products of export interest to Pakistan. The provision of these trade preferences should only cause limited adverse effects on the domestic market of the Union and should not affect negatively least developed Members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Amendment 11
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7 a (new)
(7a)  Theses measures are proposed as part of an exceptional package, in response to the specific situation in Pakistan. They should not constitute a precedent for the Union's trade policy with other countries.
Amendment 12
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8 a (new)
(8a)  The granting of autonomous trade preferences is linked to respect for the fundamental principles of democracy and human rights.
Amendment 13
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
(9)  Entitlement to benefit from the autonomous trade preferences is conditional on Pakistan's compliance with the relevant rules of origin of products and the procedures related thereto as well as involvement in effective administrative cooperation with the Union in order to prevent any risk of fraud. Serious and systematic violations of the conditions for the entitlement to the preferential arrangement, fraud or failure to provide administrative cooperation for the verification of origin of goods should constitute reasons for a temporary suspension of the preferences. In this respect, the Commission should be permitted to adopt, if necessary, such temporary measures.
(9)  Entitlement to benefit from the exceptional autonomous trade preferences is conditional on Pakistan's compliance with the relevant rules of origin of products and the procedures related thereto as well as involvement in effective administrative cooperation with the Union in order to prevent any risk of fraud. Serious and systematic violations of the conditions for the entitlement to the preferential arrangement, fraud or failure to provide administrative cooperation for the verification of origin of goods or a serious deterioration in respect for the fundamental principles of democracy and human rights in Pakistan, including core labour rights, should constitute reasons for a temporary suspension of the preferences. In this respect, the Commission should be permitted to adopt, if necessary, such temporary measures.
Amendment 14
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a)  The granting of these preferences is also conditional on Pakistan abstaining from maintaining, introducing or increasing duties or charges having equivalent effect or any other restriction or prohibition on the export or sale for export of any materials primarily used in the production of any of the products covered by this Regulation destined for the territory of the Union, from the date of the entry into force of this Regulation.
Amendment 15
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 b (new)
(10b)  It is necessary to provide for the reintroduction of Common Customs Tariff duties for any products causing, or threatening to cause, serious difficulties to a Union producer of like or directly competing products, as determined by an investigation carried out by the Commission.
Amendment 16
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 c (new)
(10c)  In order to ensure effective monitoring of the trends of imports of products covered by this Regulation as far in advance as possible it is necessary to establish customs surveillance on imports covered by this Regulation. On the basis of this monitoring a quarterly report on the application and implementation of this Regulation should be submitted.
Amendment 17
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 d (new)
(10d)  The autonomous trade preferences granted to Pakistan should be subject to an annual impact assessment, conducted by the Commission and presented to Parliament and the Council, which allows for adjustments to be made based on the actual volume of imports and the possible repercussions for the sectors specifically concerned by this Regulation.
Amendment 18
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12)  Given the urgency of the situation in Pakistan, the Regulation should apply as of 1 January 2011, provided that the WTO has approved the request from the Union for the waiver from its obligations under GATT Articles I and XIII.
(12)  Given the urgency of the situation in Pakistan, the Regulation should apply as soon as the WTO has approved the request from the Union for the waiver from its obligations under GATT Articles I and XIII.
Amendment 19
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13)  In order to ensure an immediate and sustainable impact on the economic recovery of Pakistan in the aftermath of the floods it is recommended to limit the duration of the trade preferences until 31 December 2013.
(13)  In order to ensure an immediate and sustainable impact on the economic recovery of Pakistan in the aftermath of the floods it is recommended to limit the duration of the trade preferences to one year from the entry into force of those measures.
Amendment 20
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
(14)   The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission1.
(14)   In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation concerning temporary suspension, surveillance and safeguard measures implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers1.

1 OJ L 55, 28.2.2011, p. 13.
Amendment 21
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15
(15)   Amendments to the Combined Nomenclature may not give rise to any substantive changes to the nature of the autonomous trade preferences. The Commission should therefore be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union for the purpose of making necessary amendments and technical adaptations to the list of goods for which the autonomous trade preference applies,
(15)   The advisory procedure should be used for the adoption of surveillance and provisional safeguard measures in order to take into account the effects of these measures and their sequential logic in relation to the adoption of definitive safeguard measures. The same applies with regard to the suspension of preferences when the conditions for entitlement to the preferential arrangements are not fulfilled since the Commission is thereby only acting upon factual evidence and is not required to use political discretion.
Amendment 22
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15 a (new)
(15a)  In order to make the necessary technical adaptations to the list of goods for which the autonomous trade preferences apply and to introduce tariff rate quotas where volumes of imports covered by this Regulation increase beyond certain levels the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending Annex I and Annex II to reflect changes in the combined nomenclature and to introduce new quotas. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level.
The Commission, when preparing and drawing-up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and Council.
Amendment 23
Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point c a (new)
(ca)  Pakistan abstaining from maintaining, introducing or increasing duties or charges having equivalent effect or any other restriction or prohibition on the export or sale for export of any materials primarily used in the production of any of the products covered by this Regulation destined for the territory of the Union;
Amendment 24
Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point c b (new)

To this end Pakistan shall abstain from adopting or maintaining any prohibition or restriction on the export, or sale for export, of any materials primarily used in the production of any of the products included in Annex I and II;
Amendment 25
Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point c c (new)

Article 2 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a.  Without prejudice to the conditions set out in paragraph 1, entitlement to benefit from the preferential arrangements introduced by Article 1 is subject to respect for human rights, including core labour rights, and the fundamental principles of democracy by Pakistan.

Amendment 27
Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 a (new)
