Commission report on the operation in 1996 of the export earnings stabilisation system under the fourth ACP-EC Convention as revised by the Agreement signed in Mauritius
I Hi COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 18. 07. 1997 COM(97) 374 final COMMISSION REPORT On the operation in 1996 of the export earnings stabilisation system under the fourth ACP-EC Convention as revised by the Agreement signed in Mauritius «R I. 1. 2. INTRODUCTION Article 31(3) of the Internal Agreement on the financing and administration of Community aid states: "Each year the Commission shall draw up a comprehensive report for the Member States on the operation of the system of stabilisation of export earnings and the use made by the ACP States of the funds transferred. " This report covers the activities of the ACP-EC institutions and the administration of the system in 1996, paying special attention to the allocation of transfers for 1995, the first year of application of Stabex under the fourth ACP-EC Convention as revised by the Agreement signed in Mauritius. The Stabex financial situation has continued to improve; for the second year of application in a row it has been possible to cover all transfers. II. 3. 4. ACTIVITIES OF THE ACP-EC INSTITUTIONS The operation of Stabex was discussed at the 21st session of the ACP-EC Council of Ministers (Apia, 27-28 June 1996) and the 43rd meeting of the ACP-EC Committee of Ambassadors (Brussels, 31 May 1996). Items covered were the preparation of a Decision of the ACP-EC Council of Ministers to permit transfers in respect of the 1995 year of application pending entry into force of the fourth ACP-EC Convention, as revised by the Agreement signed in Mauritius (see point 8). m. 5. TRANSFERS FOR THE 1995 YEAR OF APPLICATION Calculation of the transfer bases For the 1995 year of application, the Commission found 19 ACP States to be The eligible 21 country/product groups for which for compensation were recorded are listed in Table 1 of this report (see page 24). losses of earnings eligible arrangements. 21 transfers Stabex under the for 6. After calculating the reduction provided for in Article 197(3) and (4) of the Convention, the transfer bases totalled ECU 87 989 500. Under Article 204 of the Convention the transfer basis calculated from the Community's import statistics is reduced to the level of the transfer basis calculated from the statistics on the exports to all destinations of the ACP States concerned, where the latter amount is less than the former. - 7. Reductions under Article 203 Trends in marketed output, total exports and exports to the Community of the products in question meant that, in many instances, consultations under Article 203 of the Convention had to be held between the Commission and the representatives of the ACP States. The consultations resulted in the following reductions being made: 7. 1 Reductions applied as a result of significant changes in trends in marketed output of the product in question.

In the case of coffee, tlie Commission's position resulted in a 100% reduction of the transfer base. The negotiations were still continuing at tlie time this report went to press. 7. 2 Reductions applied as a result of a decline in exports to all destinations as a proportion of marketed output: ACP State Product Reduction Amount in % of ECU transfer basis (TB) Togo Tuvalu Vanuatu Cocoa beans 1 364 177 52. 40 Copra Cocoa 7 514 72. 80 268 957 37. 10 7. 3 Reductions applied as a result of a decline in the ratio of exports to the Community to other exports (all destinations): ACP State Product Reduction Amount in ECU %of transfer basis (TB) Benin Burundi Malawi Palm products Raw hides Tea 388 389 200 259 2 579 830 65. 40 40. 10 24. 14 Calculating the transfers Following consultation, where appropriate and as required under Articles 202 and 203 of the Convention, the total amount of eligible transfers was therefore calculated as ECU 76 241 824. As calculated in line with the provisions of Article 191 of the revised Convention and the annexed second Financial Protocol, the annual instalment for the 1995 year of application is approximately ECU 360 million. Nevertheless, as this instalment will not be released until the revised Convention enters into force - and the second Financial Protocol has therefore been ratified - and to ensure the continuity of the system by allowing transfers in respect of the 1995 year of application, the ACP-EC Council of Ministers agreed as follows in Decision 2/96 of 28 June 1996: The Commission shall deduct temporarily funds unused under the First Financial Protocol to the fourth Lomé Convention and shall add the accumulated interest on the Stabex account opened pursuant to Article 192 of the said Convention, to pay in full or to a large extent for "transfers to the ACP States for the 1995 implementing year. Should the second Financial Protocol not be ratified, the Community shall guarantee the availability of the resources so deducted, by recourse to unallocated appropriations. thus Upon ratification of the second Financial Protocol, transfers deducted will be again made available to the ACP States by payment to the Stabex account referred to in Article 192 of the Lomé Convention. As the unused funds-mentioned in the Decision exceed the total transfers to be made in respect of the 1995 year of application, it will be possible to cover those transfers in full. 9. Results by recipient country and product Table 2 (page 25) gives the results by recipient country. As in 1994, banana- exporting Caribbean countries are the main recipients, their eligible earnings losses being due to a number of causes such as a hurricane, drought and structural problems in the sector. '10. t he balance per product (see Table 3, page 26) confirms the 1994 trends, bananas and cotton still being responsible for the largest share of the transfers (60 and 15. 9% respectively). In many cases the transfers made represent a substantial addition to the recipient State's total export earnings, examples being: ACP State Product Dominica Saint Lucia Bananas Bananas S aint Vincent B ananas Tuvalu Copra Transfers as a percentage of 1995 earnings from all products (estimate) 38. 7 24. 7 30. 8 20. 4 11. However, a more precise measure of the effect of the additional Stabex revenue on the sector showing a loss of earnings can be obtained by comparing the amounts transferred with the earnings from the products for which the transfer is requested: ACP States Product Equatorial Guinea Cocoa Rwanda Burundi Zimbabwe Malawi Dominica Saint Lucia Saint Vincent Tuvalu Vanuatu Raw hides Raw hides Cotton Tea Bananas Bananas Bananas Copra Cocoa Transfers as a percentage of 1995 earnings from the product in question 17. 9 38. 2 21. 7 31. 6 37. 9 99. 9 48. 8 77. 7 62. 1 43. 2 These proportions can be high, especially when exports of the product in question are fairly low and fluctuate substantially from year to year. When low market prices combine with temporary difficulties in the sector, losses of revenue can be severe and give rise to relatively large transfers. Even when export revenue from a particular product is high, the transfers make a significant contribution. IV. USE OF TRANSFERS 12.

Preference will go to products that can be both exported and sold on the national market, e. g. maize, peanuts, fruit and vegetables; to reactivate the oil palm sector by financing the rehabilitation of existing plantations and providing support for new village or privately owned plantations and the maintenance of cooperatively run rural development plantations. cf. p. 23. 12 2 BURKINA FASO Year of application 1992 and 1993 Product Hides and skins Cotton Cotton Cotton 1992 1992 1993 1993 (additional) ECU 783 508 ECU 792 762 ECU 704 412 ECU 28 751* Date paid 08. 02. 1995(1992) 08. 02. 1995(1993) 05. 09. 1996 (1993 additional)* FMO signed 21. 10. 1996 Summary The government is interested in improving access to areas with a good cotton growing potential as this is essential if results in the sector are to be improved and it is to make a bigger contribution to the national economy. The government and the Commission have therefore decided to assign the resources earned by the sector to the rebuilding and repair of unsurfaced roads in the cotton growing Province of Sissili. In the last few years cotton production has risen significantly with a big increase in the area down to cotton (up 164%) and a corresponding increase in production in the 1994/95 season. Nevertheless, it is clear that development in the region will depend on its becoming more accessible and that the current state of secondary unsurfaced roads is one of the main obstacles to increasing production. A study on repairing 105 km of such tracks in Sissili Province identified four main sections as requiring attention, i. e. those from Léo to Beune, Boura to Niabouri, To to Silly and Godé to Nébiélianayou. Repairs to these roads will have major economic consequences for all cotton producers and the entire region, as well as improving living standards for the rural population. The road works themselves are to be financed entirely from the 1992/1993 Stabex fund whilst maintenance is to be resourced from the national budget in line with the terms laid down in the Sectoral Transport Adjustment Plan (PASECT). cf.

The 1993 and 1994 transfers will therefore be used primarily to obtain a product of international standard meeting the requirements of the European market. This means establishing: - a high-quality chain of production encompassing every stage from planting to delivery at port; - a cooling system in which bananas are placed as soon as possible after packing, and one which does not involve repacking until they reach the port of unloading; - a maritime transport system which uses refrigerated containers. If exports are to resume, production will have to meet the export quality standard. Banana growers will therefore have to adopt basic intensive methods as well as: - good techniques and a method of cultivation which does not use pesticides, thereby allowing exporters to use the "biological product" label; - irrigation so as to provide banana plants with optimum water supplies, thereby reducing water consumption by some 50%. 10 12 4 CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC Year of application 1992 and 1993 Product Date paid Cotton Cotton Wood 3. 5. 94(1992) 1. 12. 94(1993) FMO signed 25. 9. 96 1992 1993 1993 ECU 450 591 ECU 724 213 ECU 1 022 587 Summary The FMO contributes to an emergency programme in the form of aid covering one sixth of the residual requirements of the programme, which also receives financial support from the country's main donors. This support serves mainly to secure the State's priority expenditure and is provided in addition to the Community's Structural Adjustment Facility. Together, the FMO and the SAF cover the operating expenditure, totalling CFAF 2 900 million, of the following ministries: health, education, land, water and forest administration, environment, agriculture, transport, public works, social affairs, justice, finance and the plan, 11 12 5 DOMINICA Year of application 1994 Product Datepaid Bananas ECU 9. 159. 385 (+ECU 221 588* ) 13. 09. 1995 (11. 10. 1996*) FMO signed 30. 10. 1996 Summary See Saint Vincent cf. p. 27. 12 12 6 GUINEA BISSAU Year of application 1993 Product Groundnuts 1993 Palm kernels nuts and 1993 ECU 83 256 ECU 30 192 Date paid 02. 02. 1995(1993) FMO signed 28. 03. 96 Summary Losses in 1993 were mainly due to: - short rains in the case of groundnuts; - old palm trees and the unsatisfactory system of harvesting, processing and storage in the case of palm products. The main aims of the measures introduced under the FMO are: - - to re-activate the production, harvesting, conservation and transport of tropical fruit and help set up domestic and foreign marketing systems; to improve the quality and increase the production of palm products with a view to exporting them, replant palm trees, introduce new species and increase the area under palms. 13 12 6 HAITI Year of application 1994 Product Date paid Coffee ECU 6. 495. 387 (+ECU 287 225* ) 03. 12. 1995 (02. 12. 1996*) FMO signed 10. 03. 1997 Summary The funds transferred to the Republic of Haiti for the 1994 year of application will be added to the funding for measures begun with resources allocated earlier. The main purpose is to reactivate export systems by supporting farming, trade, and various bodies and institutions. The following results are aimed at: - a better quality of product, - higher earnings for producers; - higher export earnings; - more capable institutions; - to provide support for the job creation policy. The Government of the Republic of Haiti undertakes to: - maintain its programme of economic reform and structural adjustment; - define and start implementing a policy of financial security; - continue decentralising the public administration; - encourage private initiative in rural development. cf. p. 27. 14 127 MALAWI Year of application 1990 and 1991 Products Tea Tea Coffee 1990 1991 1991 ECU 1 705 852 ECU 2 288 885 ECU 220 364 Date paid FMO signed 02. 08. 1995 13. 09. 1996 Summary : The project on which the balance of the 1990/91 Stabex funds will be used aims at increasing yield per hectare and the quality of Malawi tea by accelerating the tea replanting programme. It covers a period of between two and three years and is a bonus (cash) payment scheme which will partially compensate for losses incurred by tea estates during the first five years. Given the tea sector's importance as the second largest foreign exchange earner, GOM is committed to improving the economic viability of the tea industry through a clonal tea replanting programme. 15 12 8 SAINT LUCIA Application year : 1994 Bananas ECU 22 176 403 (+ ECU 302 130*) 24. 08. 1995 (26. 11. 1996) 05. 09. 1996 Product Payment date FMO signed: Summary : see Saint Vincent cf. p. 27. 16 12. 9 SAINT VINCENT Year of application : 1994 Product Date paid Bananas ECU 25 724 865 (+ ECU 173 908*) 24. 08. 1995 (26. 11. 1996) FMO signed: 05. 09. 1996 Summary : Problems encountered in the banana sector being very much alike in the different Windward Islands, among them Dominica, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent, it is not surprising that the intended use of 1994 Stabex funds is similar, if not identical, as well. As the intention is to allow producers in these islands to increase their production efficiency, thereby enabling them to compete in international markets by the end of the century, the 1994 Stabex resources should not be seen simply as additional to those used to finance projects funded by previous Stabex transfers. Because there is a large sum available in the 1994 fund, its use should be broadly defined. In the three islands concerned, the 1994 Stabex resources will therefore be used not only for the benefit of economic operators adversely affected by the loss of export earnings, but also for diversification measures within the agricultural sector and the economy at large. Some of the specific objectives are to: - improve banana quality and increase productivity; - promote agricultural and broader economic diversification; - provide social safety nets. The Governments of Dominica, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent undertake to continue restructuring their respective banana industries (with particular attention to fruit quality control systems), to maintain the drive towards economic diversification, institutional, government, the elimination of managerial and financial deficiencies, and to encourage their growers to adopt more rigorous cultivation and post-harvest discipline. cf. p. 27. 17 12. 10 SENEGAL Year of application 1994 Product Date paid Groundnut products 1994 ECU 5 455 077 14. 09. 1995 FMO signed 26. 04. 96 Summary If work on the programme to reactivate groundnut production is to continue, some specific short and medium-term measures will have to be adopted and these will have to be based on some of the conditions underlying this FMO, namely: - one central professional body for all those involved in groundnuts will have to be established and given the mandate to structure relations between the different operators in the production chain; - a mechanism for setting the various prices within that chain will have to be adopted. It will be required to reflect international rates and guarantee the financial soundness of the production chain ^o that the individual producer can gain sufficient insight into the workings of that chain, obtain the necessary inputs and replace his main items of equipment; - groundnut processing activities will have to be privatised whilst at the same time imposing minimum obligations on those taking over oil production at the time of privatisation and protecting the legitimate interests of the producer; - support will have to go to implementing a project to back up the management of the financial instruments available to the production chain and to structuring the agricultural producers' bodies coming under the single central body. 18 1993 1994 ECU 4 439 203 ECU 6 530 755 12 12 CHAD Year of application 1993 and 1994 Product Date paid Cotton Cotton 16. 12. 1994(1993) 08. 01. 1996(1994) FMO signed 29. 05. 96 Summary Stabex transfers will be used for two purposes: to improve production and marketing conditions in the cotton growing area, particularly by taking steps to ensure that unsurfaced roads are kept repaired. to improve Chad's overall economic situation, particularly by providing aid specifically for the road maintenance budget. 19 12. 12 ZIMBABWE Year of application 1993 Product Date paid Cotton ECU 5 439 952 (+ ECU 222,039*) 14. 12. 1994 (20. 08. 1996) FMO signed: 03. 10. 1996 Summary : STABEX 1993 resources are to be used for drought relief operations to help speed up the recovery of the agricultural sector after the 1994/95 drought. In particular, in the 1995/96 cropping season, support is to go to the GOZ programme of distribution of seeds and agricultural inputs to farmers in need. GOZ is committed to putting in place and implementing the drought relief and, in particular, crop pack programmes, as presented to donors. cf. p. 23 20 13 OVERALL EVALUATION OF STABEX Following some fifteen individual country evaluations, this comprehensive evaluation was begun towards the end of 1996 and should be completed by mid • 1997. The results will be presented and analysed in the next Commission report on the operation of Stabex. 21 V. BALANCE REMAINING UNDER THE FIRST FINANCIAL PROTOCOL 14. Under the provisions of Article 195(a) of the fourth ACP-EEC Convention the Commission decided on 3 June 1996 to repay to the eligible ACP States the funds and interest remaining after the end of 1995, the last year in which the Stabex system was implemented under the first Financial Protocol to the above Convention. At the end of 1995 the -above amount totalled ECU 67 661 825, made up of ECU 49 640 081. 69 in capital and ECU 18 021 743. 31 in interest. This balance is mainly for the 1994 year of application, for which the transfers were made in 1995 - the only year of application under the first Financial Protocol when the resources available under the system exceeded the total transfers for which ACP States were eligible. 15. As provided for in the Convention, the total balance (i. e. ECU 67 661-825) has to be divided up between the ACP States in proportion to the amount or amounts retained in respect of each of them under the provisions of Article 197(3) and (4) of the Convention. These provisions cover what has come to be known as the "franchise" (the amount retained) and require that, under certain circumstances, such an amount may be retained to reduce the loss of eligible earnings by the ACP State concerned and, therefore, the amount transferred under Stabex. Table 4 (page 27) shows the "franchises" (amounts retained) for the 1990 to 1994 years of application and the pro rata repayments from the total accumulated balance of ECU 67 661 825 to all eligible ACP States. The retained amounts redistributed to the ACP States are additional funds for use under a framework of mutual obligations either already in application or currently in preparation. 22 VI. 16. 17. ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE 1993 APPLICATION YEAR (Commission Decision of 2. 5. 1996) On 29 March 1995 the Ethiopian authorities informed the Commission, through the Delegation, that the statistics forwarded in connection with the 1993 transfers for coffee, hides and skins had undergone major revision. Using the revised statistics and the same basis as for the 1993 year of application, the Commission tl^en recalculated the transfers for Ethiopia (See Commission Decision, Minutes of the 121st Commission meeting of 19 July 1994). The difference between the sum transferred the recalculated sum showed that an excess of ECU 10 894 357 had been transferred. to Ethiopia and As transfers to Ethiopia in respect of coming years could not be prejudiced, the Commission asked Ethiopia to repay the sum to the Stabex account of the European Development Fund. Ethiopia did so on 27 November 1995. Another revision of statistics for the 1993 year of application, by Vanuatu, showed that the transfer calculated for copra (ECU 547 401) needed to be reduced to ECU 265 281. As the error was noticed prior to any transfer being made, the actual sum transferred to Vanuatu therefore did not exceed ECU 265 281. Also, as the difference between the two sums (ECU 282 120) was so small, it would not, of itself, have given rise to a transfer to eligible ACP States in respect of the 1993 year of application. However, for the sake of consistency, it was decided that the sum deducted from the transfer to Vanuatu should be added to that repaid by Ethiopia. 18. Since there were insufficient funds available in the 1993 year of application, the sums referred to (i. e. a total ECU 11 176 477) had to be divided in the same proportion as the adjusted transfers between the various ACP States (including Ethiopia and Vanuatu). The result of this distribution is shown in Table 5. The additional funds made available by this distribution are to be used under the rules of the frameworks of mutual obligations for the 1993 year of application. 23 TABLE 1 : STABEX 1995 YEAR OF
