I have three specific comments on this interim agreement.
It is expected that this interim agreement will beprovisionally applied from 1January 1997.
There are sure to be misgivings about this in the Member States too, which this interim agreement is designed to circumvent.
This Interim Agreement was initialled on 10 July 2001 and signed on 29 October 2001 at Luxembourg.
We have to negotiate for our common good and this interim agreement is a step in that direction.
This interim agreement lapses in July 2007, and it will therefore be necessary to prepare the follow up, no doubt from the end of the coming winter.
On 1 October 1973 the Council adopted the regulation concluding this interim agreement, which then came into force on 1 January 1974.
FR Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen,the European Parliament took a very important step two months ago when it rejected this interim agreement.
In writing.- I voted against this Interim Agreement with Turkmenistan despite my admiration of the work of the rapporteur, Mr Caspary.
It was quite exceptional that we should have created this Joint Council before this interim agreement had even been in force for two weeks.
The first stage relates to this interim agreement which we are to approve today, although Parliament's opinion on the matter is of only very limited relevance.
I would be delighted if you could examine them and give us very emphatic answers, so thathopefully we can together get this Interim Agreement under way tomorrow.
This interim agreement is necessary because the association agreement that we approved by an overwhelming majority at the last partsession stiU has to be ratified in the national parliaments.
It is thus expected, provided we have the approval of the House this morning, that this interim agreement will enter into force in April or May of this year.
It is an improvement because this interim agreement has additional guarantees, among other elements, that were recommended by Parliament and set out by the rapporteur in the report that has been presented to us today.
For example, in Central Africa, Cameroon has been criticised, not to say strongly condemned, by its neighbours,for having signed this interim agreement with the European Union.
This interim agreement, which concerns trade aspects, fits into a wider and more innovative scheme, such as the one the EU wants to establish in the face of the fickleness of other powers, giving total priority to political will.
However, I would again ask all Members from all groups to please refrain from using this interim agreement with Turkmenistan as a hostage by means of which to gain greater rights for Parliament in comparison with the Council and the Commission.
The Council and the Commission are looking for progress on this issue and they want the European Parliament to give its blessing ora positive verdict on the advent of this interim agreement, as that could help improve relations with Turkmenistan.
This Interim Agreement could possibly be a first small step to show the Turkmens that we are taking up the reins of dialogue, are pushing ahead with dialogue and also want to help them follow the slow- but hopefully constant- path towards human rights and democracy.
Some of the provisions included in Protocol 5 to the Stabilisation and Association Agreement on land transport, which are related to road transit traffic, are directly linked to free movement of goods andshould consequently be included in this Interim Agreement.
That is why, as I said, this interim agreement, which implements the trade and economic policy sections of the Europe agreement at once and provides the legal base for bodies such as the Cooperation Council, which is now being turned into an Association Council, must enter into force on 1 January.
The Socialist and Democrat Group is clear that this interim agreement should apply only for 12 months and that a new agreement should be negotiated with Parliament as co-legislator so that we in this House can ensure that delicate balance of protecting the fundamental rights of European citizens in the important and critical fight against terrorism.
I therefore await- preferably this evening- an undertaking from the Commission that, if this monitoring shows that the situation in Turkmenistan has deteriorated andif Parliament passes a resolution asking the Commission to propose to the Council that this Interim Agreement be suspended, it will table a proposal to that effect before the Council.
These guarantees are: that data be transferred only in order to combat terrorism; that a reciprocal mechanism oblige the United States to transfer relevant financial information at the request of the European authorities;that the validity of this interim agreement be restricted to 12 months at most; and that a new agreement be negotiated later on, once the Treaty of Lisbon has entered into force, with the full participation of the European Parliament and of the national parliaments.
My request, Mr President- I have already announced this, and I hope that I will have the support of the other groups- is that a decision be taken, at the Conference of Presidents, to hold both a committee meeting anda part-session to examine this interim agreement, because it would be pointless to allow it to enter into force on 1 February without Parliament having discussed it first.
To conclude, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur again on her work. I also want to remind people, Mr President, that the Committee on Foreign Affairs,Security and Defence Policy unanimously recommended giving our assent for this interim agreement, not as a blank cheque but with the view that it will be a useful, valuable element to give EU-Mexican relations the importance they deserve.
