we are well aware that the existing treaties are inadequate and will continue to another , more efficient structure for the union must be developed , namely a more pronounced constitutional structure with a clear demarcation of powers between the member states and the union 's powers . these are the first place messages of concern about the economic and social difficulties which we , in spite of continued growth as a result of many years of effort on the part of our fellow citizens are confronted . the current situation , particularly for the many self-employed hauliers , is unacceptable for agriculture , which must certainly be improved . the understanding of the procedure is a good thing in itself , but we must ensure that the system cannot be used as a political schlagwaffe it . you also have now clearly thinking of the rights which they must comply . i agree with his warning of a return to the apparently tempting to some of the intergovernmental methods . many of us want to see a federation of nation states , and this also means that everyone will take place right . the rapporteur , the level of debate and also stressed the need to go further . i can only agree with you , of course . the latter , i would like to say that it is a speech before the forces concerned will carry on taking them to familiarize them and balance , is a political speech must always be realistic and has always been kräftesituation and which we have in mind that objective . i would like us to take this closer cooperation in order to start with a few examples of the new europe 's capacity to provide . the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . amendment no 12 , which the commission must reject . i shall therefore vote for the adoption of regelungsentwurfs . thus , in the reports of the european court of auditors of constantly such low information referred to that of portugal and greece to happen again . that is why we have not voted for this report . those supporting such buses that are not universally applicable only cheaper and more environmentally friendly , but also because , as their fuel consumption per passenger is less . the report also calls for defining benchmarks , with a view to the dissemination of best practices in the eu level . a binding charter with full and comprehensive recoverable rights could create difficulties at a later date . i thank both for their splendid use . we do not believe , though , that he had to less than three months in nice will conclude . for that reason alone we cannot vote in favour of the charter at the summit in nice incorporate in the treaty . the european csu group welcomes the fact that the present draft the charter of fundamental rights of the citizens of the institutions and bodies of the eu 's fundamental rights corresponding summed up and be made visible . it is a reflection of the emergence of declining liberal europe . i really would have liked to see this charter will continue to work , as many ngos from different countries of the union have proposed . ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on hungary [ com ( 1999 ) by - c5-0028 / 2000 - c4-0353 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; so i would also like to propose that we as parliament next year , no more general table , but the only country reports which make it clear that we have a differentiated state of the negotiations concerned . it seems to me that the french presidency on the basis of the work of the previous presidencies , the commission can be done there - at least i hope that , at the nice council a fairly accurate overview of the accession process to be . as i said , and i repeat , the french presidency will not all the difficulties encountered bangers which obviously does not mean that we are now and have the possibility of each of these difficulties auszudiskutieren . this question is , of course , perfectly understandable , but we need to be properly and precise reply . it represents a major perspective , which is with us until and vision must tackle . not every outcome of the intergovernmental conference would be the enormous pressure of justice to enlargement . the second major change which we are seeing in europe and the need to adjust to the rapid acceleration of economic development towards the global market and to global competition . fourthly , the result is as yet another principle that the member states , which will then have started to a fair chance to catch , those who have already started . where great and long-term investment is needed in order to achieve that eu standards should be borne in mind that the present members in this case took to long transition periods . border security for the fight against crime and also apply to our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . but if we look at the current trade between the european union and the central and eastern european countries . fortunately , the commissioner has now finally to the citizens informed that the fears , first of which were discussed , were unfounded . but one thing is clear - and i welcome the fact that mr verheugen has stressed again : a transitional period for the observance of democratic rules cannot exist . that is why we need the help of the commission , because it lacks us with great determination sometimes the corresponding ammunition . that is necessary so that we , as the european union objectives are to be able to complete the internal reforms . but there are important issues and , in which we disagree . this runs counter to the european union , its future independence with regard to america and a common european defence and security policy , because it involves a number of dangers for the relationship with russia and other countries . however , we want results , and we want to see what is in preparation for enlargement should be done , not another intergovernmental conference to be postponed . i shall be brief , as i have already been done earlier when i made my first speech three minutes ' speaking time i have not used . this is very important , and i am very pleased that the commission is working on an information campaign , in the words of commissioner verheugen too much detail as decentralized basis will be done . but - and this is my final word , because i would like to say that it is quite clear : i am not a pessimist in this regard , i am not at present , i would like an unequivocal statement in favour of enlargement , if he is to be seriously , we must continue to be understood , we must be accepted by the peoples of the people of the candidate countries as well as our people , will win . now i see no need , in the context of enlargement on the financial perspective to talk . it is not one single , i can say today ! from the same reason , incidentally , you have also expressed the wish to join the european union . we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . i have been transferred to the responsibilities of the report on the request for estonia 's accession to the european union to present . as i am very conservative thrifty with taxpayers ' money to order . i believe that only you would have an idea of what the people of latvia in recent years have done . that is not enough , the whole of the strategy must be geared more towards the citizens are . lithuania has a considerable potential for a long-term economic growth . in the broadest sense , it is a question of the european union 's cooperation with the russian federation . a further point is handing the support of public opinion within and outside the european union . as a result of an intelligent fiscal stood at foreign direct investment in the last year to over 5,45 billion euros . we should not interfere in this regard , not even we germans ! the slovak democratic developing , stable , and in this area , we had already been different experiences . in my speech , i have six points of the development of the situation in hungary and an outline , from the perspective of joining the union are important . that is why i am pleased that this issue in the general report by mr brok on enlargement has been included . this is certainly not in any area of more than in the field of nuclear power , where there is a danger of the lobby of opposed the legitimate concerns in relation to nuclear safety and environmental protection for their own ends usurpiert . i should like my colleagues to support the formation of a high level group recommend . the report , which has also been adopted unanimously in committee , is to the conclusion that the part of the territory of the legal authorities , which falls , with the copenhagen criteria . this is the key role for the cfsp our high representative , javier solana , to which the commission 's own role , of course , remains intact . malta 's main problem is still being that the accession process will be judged differently from the government and opposition and the european union stresses that this accession process is progressing steadily . even between america and mexico have received the levels close gathered . why are we in the area of the single market for a deliberate , flexible and the challenge of a proper strategy . i should also like to say that i respect for the citizens of the central and eastern european countries have , for ten years ago , have had the courage to go to the streets and in this process have been set in motion . the information society is important for the old way for the new industry . we must also not be through the percentages of national legislation in umgesetztes blinded into community law . the 10 new eastern european countries have such a rich erbonkel not record . this applies equally to the transport of live animals - inhuman - to the slaughterhouse . now we are working with a regulation which is important for all legislative acts an assessment of the consequences for health policy . in my opinion , there must be dealt with by the european union to be made clear that the european regional development fund for not insisting on the basis of a tight financial distribution of the regions and areas must be granted . elmar brok was right in his speech by pointing out that we have taken all the benefits of enlargement will be , in particular , we on this side of the current external frontier . the binnenschiffverkehr will be important for environmental reasons too , because we tranship from the roads must be given and , if they are not on rail transport can , then we must use waterways . also self-interest and populism , not least , have played a part of the euro exchange rate has falling , and the result will certainly not be influenced positively . our message to the candidate countries is this : let us not get through to the extent of these reports and documents upset . unfortunately , at present have too many parties had their ideological together with the result that they represent an ideal too little and too - are . should it prove necessary , the right to free acquisition of land and people to suspend it , we should do so . it is now exist , but will perhaps by bureaucratic lack of transparency and public opposition from the obvious , but not at risk of certain governments . where are the millions of jobs which , moreover , the maastricht treaty should bring ? while we are heading in the treaties , yet again , to take some even call for the forthcoming reform . almost all international studies show in connection with enlargement on the macroeconomic profits towards that . however , the main objective of the slovenian policy - the early application to join the european union - apart from some considerable minority groups of any political grouping called into question . will enlargement of the union should be swiftly implemented , it would be decentralised to a large extent , the eldr group in its opinion on enlargement formulated . it was clear that the country for the typical strictly well-ordered anstaltsregime long-term consequences for the health of orphans has . i would like to ask for support to the corresponding amendments . and we ourselves , the european politicians , have too little insight into the negotiating process . cyprus will be almost as a bridge to the countries of the region may act . i wish the negotiators also continue to every success in this important area . the second type of communication is naturally important between our countries and the enlargement countries , in order to get the message to the european union is at stake here . we cannot afford to be more from the impetus from the beginning of the 1990s to lose out . mr president , i would like to begin , as rapporteur of the socialist group for the report on romania 's rapporteur on her excellent product congratulations . the institutions , for the member states , for us all , it is important to us that challenge , but also the fears of our own citizens to be able to demonstrate and restore the strength and vision , the ambition of the founding fathers of europe to be found . unfortunately i have the impression that this enlargement despite many fine words and , despite numerous and hard-working öffnens schließens chapter by the council not with the necessary political emphasis is being promoted . many countries of the union was at times of its development with similar problems and bulgaria could discuss , in order to help to overcome the current problems . democracy is not just a question of majority voting but , above all , a question of appropriate co-decision rights of minorities . the applicant countries must be given equal treatment and their accession must only be independent of their development . furthermore , we should recognize with as much use countries like lithuania try to make up lost ground . so it is in our interest to our legal and administrative freiheitssystem to extend to romania , and this is certainly in a critical public debate with our argument . in relation to one thing , however , there is a great deal of agreement , which is enlargement . my group therefore supports the limit of transition periods in the environmental field to a maximum of five years . mr president , we absolutely must be a positive move in the enlargement will bring . of course , is still on the order of the accession of the candidate countries to discuss , partly because there is the progress of internal reforms must be judged . i am pleased that the report is yes , so that slovenia is - and i have a head of delegation can check on several occasions , and the commissioner has been several times - with the massive really has initiated , to fulfil the criteria . i think that the proposal for a worthy of discussion . these forms of violence and trafficking in women are already using every means possible in both the eu and the candidate countries and to condemn it . finally , i would like to take this opportunity to debate and the concern of many colleagues , who , at last make it necessary to consider carefully the question of europe 's borders and to the extent of its enlargement and the purpose of producing a report of the european parliament to examine this matter . - the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . - thank you . in this house will rightly pointed out again and again that in a europe of citizens ' rights in the right of the union must be built in . i shall now put the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the vote . we know that it looks at the undesirable substances we are talking about is very rarely to acute toxic substances are involved , but rather of long-term effect durables , and these substances such as dioxins , aflatoxin and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury , lead . today we can no longer make the sinners tracked . if these verschneidung permits , it must at least an application for the control and it must be made public that there are those verschneidung , because this problem must also be aware of the public to be discussed . one thing must be clarified : the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal acts against existing regulations . mr president , i should like to thank the honourable members , who have spoken before me . this was a pressing need . the limit value for fish meal is different from , for example , the limit value of marine organisms manufactured products manufactured from for not being proposed . it is high time that we misleading this interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity , with the imposition of our nations from brussels is growing every day , to put an end . i believe , as the rapporteur 's opinion that the measures proposed are justified and which must be controlled substances listed individually , although they are not toxic , in combination with other substances which are nevertheless of values . unfortunately , a great deal of knowledge and to healthy überliefertem bauernverstand in industrial agriculture , where the animals on production units and goods have been reduced to have been lost . the new regulations will be the very detailed and complicated , for the number of directives have been distributed , together , harmonisation and simplified . the number of those who have the ingredients exactly question , according to my research is relatively small . secondly , but rather an amendment has been around for farmers in animal feed raw materials , which are the producers . they are much more in future be obliged to destroy ausgangsprodukten of parties . the compensation is needed , although it is undeniable that the farmers themselves also have a great responsibility for the welfare of animals have . it is expressly requested in amendment no 18 , water in the definition of feedingstuffs should be included . on the basis of scientific risk assessments of the member states , the commission will take suitable measures to set limit values for these substances in animal feed recommend . after the review of the amendments which have been submitted in this sitting , i welcome parliament 's support for the proposal . as a whole , the commission can accept amendments nos 15 of the 27 member states . i assume that this time it will have no success . the commission has promised that they will work on and that it has also announced that it is not until tomorrow will be completed . farmers must be very easy to understand better at least to question time and in what percentages everything and the extent of compound feedingstuffs should be included in this . finally , i should like to congratulate the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , and also mrs roth-behrendt sincerely to thank for their reports and hope that the council on this issue , a constructive attitude and we stand together in a transparent system of feedingstuffs arrive . this is something we have clearly thanks to the tragedy with bse , which is becoming a real novel to several chapters has developed . pollutants , the human and animal health influence , which are not acceptable . however , we shall begin with the positive . the proposal before us is the beginning of a number of initiatives which relate to the white paper on food safety issue . thank you , mr president , commissioner . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy on hungary 's accession to the european union and the state of negotiations ( com ( 1999 ) by - c5-0028 / 2000 - c4-0353 / 2175 ( cos ) ] report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy on romania 's application for membership of the european union and the state of negotiations ( com ( 1999 ) - 510 c5-0033 / 2000 - c4-0353 / 2171 ( cos ) ] thirdly , and perhaps the most difficult presupposes that the council to take on new institutional arrangements agreed that what the efficient , effective and democratic functioning of the community after enlargement , secure . for this greater europe need these institutions , which is intended to promote the development of the east , but also room for national sovereignty and differences leave this excellent principle should also apply within the european union . finally , i would like to stress that the enlargement process and gradually anpassungsfortschritten compatible with the applicant countries must be carried out . in the current context and in view of the vote , which are beginning to listen , and the european union enlargement into question , it is important that parliament send a clear political signal for this enlargement means . the european union serves since its creation of the reunification of peoples . the criteria of the council of copenhagen in 1993 the democratisation process and to strengthen competitiveness , under the guise of ' acquis communautaire ' destructive and the rule of unbridled capitalism . under these circumstances would be a headlong pursuit of the enlargement process to a resurgence of populist and excesses faschistoiden places which have been observed , lead . we have just on the agenda of this sitting a report on equal opportunities for men and women , of course again illustrates just how bad things with the acquis communautaire in practice , it is precisely what is in this area . anyone who wanted to poland 's kopernikus johannes-paul ii and access to the european parliament to refuse to budapest in 1956 battered hungary or the symbolic capital in prague in which the people 's democracies once the leader of a fenstersturz absetzten and the people of jan palach which focuses on the freedom to use violence opferte niederhielten . a greater europe with more duties and responsibilities needs new and more financial resources . on this occasion i regards the older people and the pensioners in estonia and i would hope that we will ensure that we wish you a very existence of the european union can be effectively . if latvia continue to make progress and the european union 's institutional structures and policies has adapted to cope with enlargement in so doing , i do not see why latvia not within the union should be included . if they continue to make progress and the european union 's institutional structures and policies has adapted to cope with enlargement , it can , i do not see why lithuania cannot be included in the union . the environmental sector are also in the creation of ' national fund for environmental protection and the application of the ' polluter pays principle has been progress . if the union poland to our common house opens the door to allow them to this between fairness prevail - a justice which this country too long been denied . i look forward to the early accession of the czech republic to the european union . i welcome the report by mr queiró , on the request for hungary 's accession to the european union , and can support the vast majority of his conclusions . i hope that the european union in bulgaria not too distant future will join . poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) it is a balanced and fair , the opinion of the council seriously to note . in this context , i hope that the talks under the auspices of the united nations fruit , so that the greek and turkish cypriot community in all of the benefits of accession in the context of a reunited republic can benefit . i welcome the report by mr poos , on the request of the republic of cyprus to join the european union . but we find ourselves at the end of the most extreme consumer chain and are therefore in favour of the last sammelbecken modified foodstuffs and misleading . we are , in particular , to ensure that the food at european level and in concrete form from farm or from field to the table is guaranteed . precisely because we are truly equal rights for strengthening solidarity and cooperation relationships between all the countries of the world , we do not intend to do with our vote to support a farce . the council informed parliament before the vote in committee , however , is so short that it deliberately further talks with me or were prevented from parliament . in my report i have not only for greater involvement of ngos and representatives of a greater accountability to parliament , to submit an annual report and a debate on this in parliament and the calls for maximum transparency , but i also said that the multiple discrimination and recognise the memory of the past to keep them alive , in order to combat the use of prejudice the future . we must also be taken into account the legitimate interests of workers . as the social partners are mainly responsible for the regulation of diskriminierungsfragen at work best placed in a position to produce a workable solutions . is the coordinator of her access-charter-gruppe and came from me on to the public hearings on article 13 invited . in practice because , guidelines and action plans to offer incentives that member states to combat discrimination based on the same basis , and you will allow the commission to perform their role as guardian of the treaties , but also in social debate gathering . although the present legal basis for funds for new preparatory actions could release , their funding within this category of mittelreduzierung lead to other policies . this is a proposal for a necessary but insufficient framework directive which we will have the opportunity to take its mechanisms , after a certain amount of perfecting clearer . i hope the commission will , in the light of this new directive carefully to the issue of discrimination on grounds of gender issues . i congratulate the commission and to my colleagues who have worked on these reports . i welcome the recommendation of the mann report , and non-confessional organisations to be able to be a requirement in vocational training for staff conditions are , of this recital based . the fact that the institutions as soon by the treaty of amsterdam new powers granted to make use of evidence that the european union in the field of equal opportunities , still plays a leading role in time , commissioner , i would like to express my appreciation of the european commission . the presence of various kinds of discrimination in our societies confirmed the importance of the present action programme , as far as the report by mr cashman is concerned . mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , i would like our concerns about the way the treatment of the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia by the union and member states to say . can the commissioner to explain why this aspect , the commission ignores ? the second is for me to the problem that ngos are as important as it were , there will be asked to take whatever the size of its kind , and its action in order to try to implement . the liberal group has all this is positive , particularly the work of the european parliament , which is also and above all , special emphasis on the prevention of discrimination , and the best practices submitted . this is a challenge for all of us , because we all the people after the first impression judge . mr president , if we fight against discrimination and rules adopted , then we admit their existence and even the fact that many of your forms has now become ' legal ' , as they belong to feature . firstly , the unctad , the welthandels- and the united nations conference in geneva in 1963 , the principle of positive measures to be drawn up of discrimination . the information and awareness does in fact a fundamental role in this area , they must be done in order to prepare a new mentality , new misconception and behaviour twenty-fifth so that there are still in people 's prejudices once and for all can be removed and all citizens of real equality is guaranteed . that is why it is now important to both with the means of legislative initiative to make progress in some areas , either by being improved and the funding of the programme budget be increased , what the political importance of combating discrimination expresses . in particular , the agreement on the principle that appropriate adjustments in sweden and ireland , has played a leading role in ensuring that the employer in europe to adapt their jobs and their business sonderausstattungen can be changed , that disabled people has a real chance . the article 13 provides the basis for a new spirit of the eu , namely the fight against discrimination or of unequal treatment of citizens , for reasons which are listed in article . secondly , i would like to point out that the commission in this first package unfortunately there has to be a serious mistake made by the grounds for discrimination in a hierarchy compatible . mr president , a religious discrimination on grounds is neither to tolerate such as any other form of discrimination . as a staunch supporter of the secularism , therefore , i do not agree with this idea . the noble idea , the greatest possible freedom guaranteeing all citizens , provided they are the same degree of freedom of the other is compatible , is still some obstacles to factual part or in part , legal nature . one of these directives was already very quickly adopted , and i am very hopeful that the other in november during the french presidency will be approved . some are not consistent with other legislation , for example , the amendment on the procedure in the committees . i must reject amendment no 38 and the proposed deletion of article 5 of the list of permitted in the event of a profound discrimination on the grounds of age are included . you have the important question of being taken up . in this action programme for the first time , the joint projects are planned . it is obvious that the code of conduct will be more effective , the more countries to join in the world . in article 7 of the code of the member states to commit themselves to prevent weapons to users are passed on . mr president , i admit that i am for the times zurücksehne in which the european parliament , but also by the various peace movements and unions demand for reflection and measures to continuously reducing arms were made and we have asked the question of how the production of civilian production could be changed . given the situation in which the world and our continent today , after the end of the cold war and the collapse of the destruction of horror aufrechterhaltenen balance is to be a sort of irresponsible behaviour . these weapons are almost become a symbol for the anarchy in many parts of the world . the cfsp , covering measures to stability outside the union 's borders , but nothing that can be described as a common defence policy . the aim of the export of arms to the national governments , which violate human rights , and in such situations in the areas in which a race is taking place to prevent . the commission , in close cooperation with member states involved in drafting the joint action of the european union on small arms and light weapons participated . the next item is the joint debate on the commission 's communication on the european research area . other aspects , the introduction of grants for longer periods involved are half way between the funding of institutional and financing are located in the treaty ; the use of instruments ' variable-geometry ' , in particular , the union 's participation in national programmes , as provided for by article 169 of the treaty . we want to promote this hierarchisierenden nature , and that depends on the förderform on this . you say you dächten to a total shake-up of the framework programme . i believe we need today to something that the european research area will give a structure which is something that goes beyond the framework programme , with the national programmes to be supplemented . we need a strukturierendes element , so we need to introduce methods . as for the discussions with the stoa-referat is concerned , i believe we must do something together , as parliament , the joint research centre and the zukunftsforschungsinstitute across the member states are affected . obviously the commission is advancing with leaps on completing the european research area too . it is a whole chapter on science and society , to give our citizens . we have had contacts with the authorities in greece , ireland and portugal , for the governments of these countries to ask the commission of their projects under the cohesion fund as quickly as possible . perhaps it is the lack of a service , which you have just mentioned and which is in the past , the commission was devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund , which is due to the fact that you any more detailed information . my second question is as follows : in addition to the cohesion fund is the community support frameworks , the structural funds , the programmes etc. from countries which have been submitted to you definitive plans and programmes which countries what they have already approved ? in 1989 , the commission has a new proposal which should offer greater flexibility . i appreciate the remarks of mr bolkestein to appreciate and i know that one of the principles of the treaties is that foreign companies should not pay more than domestic must , however , the general rules for fair competition in europe also apply here . in cases disproportionately high taxation , we should remember that the effects of competition law in this situation could have , though , that these matters in general is the responsibility of member states are subject . if you want to save fuel taxes then by taking this and not by other besteuerungsformen . mr purvis , i would say that the issue of natural disadvantages , regional likely cause of national governments , which is in fact a part of your electorate in those peripheral regions and peripheral regions . mr president , thank you , madam commissioner , for your information . in spring last summer and the european commission has been a comprehensive review of its activities and its staffing carried out . there are such tasks . they are increasingly being exploited by tourists and business people , the remarkably often come from europe . the commission takes the view that all companies will be able to take time to prepare the final changeover to euro which includes adapting their computer systems and the software heard . the theoretical political discussion is no longer on the agenda , although we can discuss the dangers of a referendum in general , but perhaps on another occasion . this also applies in for . recently , was sent to the french authorities sent a reminder . on the applicant countries , i can tell you that on this issue meeting with you have taken place and interim agreements were concluded . during the course of the commission frühjahrsaussaat seeped cases of complaints from conventional plant varieties of seed imported note , cotton , including the traces of gm seeds 's procedures . but since i am pleased with his department kurzgeschlossen , i am able to inform you that fundamental safety requirements in terms of equipment for private use or functional duties in a directive on electrical products , the so-called niedrigspannungsrichtlinie and also in the directive on equipment and equipment are laid down . it would seem to me that we agree that here mistakenly distinguishes between security and safety at work in the classrooms or safety a baby computer is sitting at home ? perhaps he shaking his the hand of president khatami . aung san suu kyi lives now de facto under house arrest . i am therefore very hesitantly , trade or introduce more with further measures in terms of trade and investment demand . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : in doing so you are referring , for example , forbade the visited you have had . questions nos 16 to 44 will be answered in writing . we are calling for a consolidated report , the european parliament to do and negotiation should be published . rather than that , as we have with the other weapons producing countries of the world can compete , we should instead concentrate on the transition to civilian production . the five permanent members of the security council whose task which is actually about our security to ensure that these proposals should heed and as quickly as possible to negotiate an agreement which is worthy of the 21st century . the debate today marks an important step in the reform process which the commission under mr prodi nearly a year ago was started . i cannot but on the idea that the commission in the race for the establishment of a proposal within the timeframe laid down in the reformweißbuch has not managed to every individual points very carefully balanced . that is why i suggest that both the financial controller , the internal auditor should draw up an extensive annual reports on their activities . in the van hulten report is that the commission has rightly advocated by separation even worse and a workable approach for the exchange of best practices between the institutions for . that is to be hoped that this will not happen again ! if we make provision for the large institutions , then , the committee of independent experts called for by all along the line will apply . in the past we have very often seen how far too long in the decision-making process for applicants to disappointment and at a loss in the european institutions have produced . i ask the commissioner say that this report is only an intermediate step . this means that it is the first step towards building a bridge between the current system and the reform of the agreement which we want to do it . that is , the proposal now before us . only if they are in a position to do that , too , the selection sampling which often being monitored reversed . in addition , simple declarations , we are all aware that this is certainly not an easy thing to do this . i believe , of course , that we are neither politicians nor as an absolutely technicians are able to tackle the problem alone . fortunately , however , there is a quite overwhelming majority of children and young people in an environment in which none of these problemmerkmale contains . i agree with the commission unreservedly to that such a catalogue of reminiscent of the constitution , which must be worked out . it is obvious to me that the principle of subsidiarity must be strengthened and to the eu 's policies has many impregnable whose responsibilities are not transcend borders . information and all the world over are wissensgebieten within a very short time into the house , by and communicate the around the world is in their everyday lives . they were quickly arrested in relation to the police and saying : ' is indeed strange , in the series will not be taken quickly . the legislator - and i will conclude - cannot regulate everything , but it is sometimes the the rights and obligations of every point . i also appreciate the remarks for training , education , the ability of the market of images , and to raise awareness of the younger generations , the media is a critical look at some point , and is not doing anything at all . nothing is going to make their views in the development of harmful effects , as if a report like this to no progress , or to any greater mobility , at least not managing to remove the barriers which , of which the ausbildungsmobilität today is concerned . in the various countries are disparate solving problems : it is , for example , with different rules in the fields of social security , grants to residence and tax legislation or about the lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and praktikumsaufenthalten . it is time that the europe of the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe is paying attention again . the experience of the mobility of students and teachers , show that the real defects is not primarily in education , but the social , fiscal and immigration are . as an example of this has been included in the socrates programme . we need to give a clear clear monitoring , control , but of inspections and , above all , a trading must be set up a page where the pupils and students can make their complaints . we therefore call upon the inclusion of self-employed of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . but this is easier said than done . the debate is closed . we very much appreciate your approach to follow the example of president jacques chirac or foreign minister , joschka fischer peace-oriented . the union must speak with one voice in the foreign policy and a common defence and sicherheitsfähigkeit develop . what we need is a entscheidungsforum to tackle the problems which are of vital importance to both parties , such as the migration to the relocation of production factors , or the energy supply . in the resolution to the reports of the commission , on which you will shortly to vote on this matter very thoroughly discussed . it has drawn up by the indicators will enable an evaluation of the progress made . alongside the ministerial conference and the epstein on equal treatment in employment should be two important specifically on equality , which , in the field of employment and social affairs ' council ' falling texts are mentioned . the second concerns the principle of non-discrimination , including the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of sex . i would point out to the reports - the president-in-office has also been mentioned - that the important cultural differences , of course , one of the major problems within the eu members . furthermore , the reports that we are discussing here , which reflect this . we must check that the directive on equality in actual fact been included in the legislation will take place . i believe that the first time in finland in practice followed in many areas and practicable , by taking this as part of the commission 's gleichberechtigungsstrategie much remains to be expected . on behalf of the french have equal opportunities for women , thanks to the european union acquired the right to work . as a french woman i find such a point of view of the world the hardest alien . despite these comments , we will vote in favour of this report , because we are of course for the equal opportunities means , but above all , everyone will be respected . mothers who takes on the freedom to their own children without remuneration to educate receives , sooner or later the bill in the form of juvenile and vandalism presented . i would mention here of our report on the rights of divorce breaking-up that finally the benefits for the survivors and the retirement age in the directive to be involved in 1979 . the polish women were very grateful that we have made it clear that the representatives of the fact that there was not the position of the polish women has reported . greater involvement of women at all levels of government and in every life is an essential condition for the development of democracy and for the achievement and the preservation of peace . finally , i would like to comment on the situation of women in the countries themselves , they say , the european union accession preparations . the council , and especially the men in which he has made in this area is an enormous task of europe in the fight against women to conduct a responsible politicians cannot ignore this slave schulterzuckend or move to ignore . the reports and speeches which we are currently analysing , we can see from which many of us have been clear , namely that the issue of equal opportunities is structural in nature and global strategies for his solution needed , because we women are not yet a category a homogeneous social group and nor are we a group . indeed , i have noted with some regret that maria de belém roseira these posts person not more . two of its new as speakers have mentioned , new steuerrechte . thirdly , they are the bases of a strategy for the european union charter of fundamental rights , even when it was important that we have an overview of the situation was available , but also at national level , as the member states now in a comparative assessment national targets set out . the joint debate is closed . these amendments must be included in the context of the interinstitutional agreement be understood and that is why i cannot refrain from parliament , the object of the committee procedures exist , because they become the new interinstitutional framework to some extent become irrelevant . however , i maintain that the text adopted by parliament at the time the new realities of the internal market and the liberalization of markets producing better account , since the elements of monitoring and information , which in the accepted amendments were not included , a greater guarantee offered that rules are observed in its implementation and the same procedure applicable to us . if we want the third countries must accept the commitments which the european community first to be careful , to respect its own regulations to ensure that if a country has the power to schmuggelwege products on the market with the community 's sake , why should we make the effort to make any concessions negotiated with us ? at the same way , it is parliament 's amendment concerning the application will papierlose . the council has been taken up by member states ' customs authorities to provide themselves with the most modern automated verwaltungsinstrumenten accord . but now it is too late , because you have just left and the members to vote in favour of this situation . votes ( continuation ) report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , the annual reports on the commission ' equal opportunities for men and women in the european union - in 1997 and 1998 , 1999 ' [ com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5 ­ b5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) - c5-0289 106 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 / 2000 ) , 123 c5- 0290 -1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ] . ( fr ) i am not the first time a statement on the mobility of students and teachers from . this report is important to all the more important than it is a crucial moment for the european union , and that is the forthcoming enlargement to be made . discrimination cannot be combated through the creation of additional authorities , but solely and exclusively in the minds of people . . ( fr ) i have not voted for the mann report because , in particular , in fact necessary to seek treatment in employment and occupation has therefore not been so far in excess of action to protect the freedoms and respect for the rule of law are entirely been forgotten . as a representative of secularism , the separation of church and state , i could not give it my support for this . president , the snp welcomes this directive and its objective , to put an end to discrimination at work . if the directive acceptable and which should be viable , must not be overloaded with literature and wishful thinking , for in a legislative text nothing to do with them . the eplp has strong reservations , however , to the following areas : both issues such as the overall implementation of the training for certain age groups of workers , the kind of schlichtungssystems and the interpretation of this directive on the part of our opinion , the smes should be left to the member states . mr van hulten has quite rightly , in the interview that we will have a positive agenda can begin to problems such as fraud and waste , but also a lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process is completed . the reasons for my vote in favour of this report are mainly with the question of closer relations of the european union to nato and the rapid introduction of a common defence system . the report also as a little about european solution for the future regional conflicts are discussed in the border regions of europe . however , i cannot accept that this with the demand for a common defence policy and a european security and defence identity within nato connected with it . . ( el ) the children are the first victims of violence on television . i welcome the fact that the results of this study now available . at community level , it is also a expertenausschuss task with the power to draw up a memorandum , the general principles for the protection of minors in the media contains . dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) . ( el ) it was here for the first time that we need to recognise the effectiveness of the commission arising from the annual reports by political initiatives to be assessed . mr president , peru is currently experiencing moments of uncertainty , and we all have the hope that the current situation is achieved through a process in which all civil and political rights be guaranteed , and the strengthening of the consolidation of peace and democracy in peru will serve as a country that over the last fifteen years 25 000 have lost their lives . the word , in order that we are dealing with here is ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which in may this year in peru , elections are over , were unacceptable . b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the confederal group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . i am therefore pleased that the decision taken some important points on the situation of women , and draws attention to the need to support in order to further the total discrimination against women by taliban-führung prevent . the eu has an important task here . there is no recognition of the member states , it must not be so long as the policy of human rights violations , and especially the systematic discrimination against women , will be resumed . this , and the fact that the money from the purchase of weapons producing drugs is used , we must not lose sight of the european institutions . however , it will be the neighbouring countries in the improvement of their ability to combat drugs strongly support . i believe the time to be suited to recall that the european union policy towards latin america should draw up a compassionate that might be able to prevent these countries are experiencing crises at regular intervals , as some have occurred . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission as the house welcome the release of the spanish jesuitenpaters alejandro matos castro during the last week . b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the liberal group to macedonia : law on universities and universities ; that is why we are all very pleased that the problem of higher education is now at last may be a very good way forward to this . in my opinion , this is certainly a good example to all the countries bordering on the fact that education is not hate seeds may be , as it now as often happens , but that education as well as the cradle to find a peaceful , multi-ethnic society can serve . i should also like , we would have found a solution to all the parties in the european parliament would have to subscribe . here i should perhaps take the opportunity to point out that the commission , in cooperation with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , have already had good experience . with today 's debate not only do we want to express our condolences . firstly , we are talking about what has happened , which is why it happened in the way we can find a solution for the future , as has been made by the commission and parliament can contribute to such an incident does not just happened . in any case , we agreed with this joint resolution and support him in the form of urgency , and for the reasons already explained , we reject the amendments that have been tabled again in the urgent procedure . on the amendment on working conditions for : this is already the subject of a directive , and the amendment is not in any case in point as the text itself . it is for the north west of scotland islands and quite simply unacceptable , not be possible for the north sea crossing on the continent , which will hopefully not too distant future is set up . i welcome the fact that the greek government has now been reversed this liberation . therefore , the commission following the sinking of the samina express immediately to the greek government appealed to the request for information regarding the application of existing community legislation to obtain . i would like to raise the issue and ask you to do so in the presidency to clarify whether , after the abolition of fridays from one side on the abolition of already started . i would like to inform you that from the european union the mechanism set in motion so that we are , once the will of the serbian people respected , in other words , once a kostunicas supported the electorate 's government is formed which can act as follows : firstly , an immediate lifting of sanctions and another wirtschaftshilfepaket in support of the serbian people in the reconstruction of its economy . at this time in the streets of belgrade , perhaps , will decide whether the democratic change now advocating and whether it might arise peacefully . we condemn all actions which are to be regarded as a provocation , in particular , as regards the holy places in jerusalem . we must give the people - as mr solana has said - with the meeting in zagreb hand quite symbolic the rich . the most schockierendsten is that the police and the israeli army splittergeschosse gave , in the release into the body of dozens of shells zerbersten share , which is internationally , even in fighting between soldiers are banned , and now against civilians are used . i believe that europe can and must do a great deal in this direction , and i reject any clear and decisive action . it must , therefore , will do everything in order fire as quickly as possible to reduce . provocation , such as the course of action by ariel sharon , must not . that is the case again today , and so will the european union , as we have all over the last few years , no role as mediator in the middle east can assume that you are being left to the united states alone . we are not the serbian people lofty ambitions and our moral victims , because that would mean that perhaps thousands of people die in serbia and yugoslavia is concerned . finally , i would like to propose as soon as possible and as soon as a new yugoslav government is formed , with a delegation from parliament to travel to go along with this new yugoslav government plans to build a new serbia to make . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , it is clear that we in parliament today may be a historic day , perhaps in the end of the last of the cornerstones of a totalitarian dictatorships in europe . mr president , there is a problem , and in the german issue for the urgencies are only , i wonder whether this also occurs in the other language versions - only the amendments of the gue group abstained , however , not all the resolutions and certainly not the joint text . mr president , i just wanted to colleagues on the euroregister to draw attention to the points to know what we have taken this week to the vote . if parliament could table amendments to the council decision , it would also certainly high unemployment and social problems of croatia to point this out of the country are mandated put that in this context , however , there is no legal basis for these amendments . this is the opportunity to take the same objectives with regard to the eib 's activities to demand . mr president , yesterday evening , we have here on serbia , and there are undergoing revolutionary changes mentioned . i would therefore strongly urge the honourable members , especially the council to call , in the coming months in the negotiations on the budget for next year and for the years afterwards as close to the commission 's proposal is to remain which , in my opinion , the total costs in croatia and in other parts of the balkans , still has a better understood . in 1990 there have been held in democratic elections , the international court were free and fair . therefore , of course this financial assistance , so in this guarantee , but also a strong call for the commission , and this profoundly european genuinely democratic and constitutional governed massive support to this country and in the number of applicant countries to hold , as i believe that croatia has deserves our full backing . like the rapporteur , i am therefore wondering whether the money is being made available , particularly as it appears that , then they will also be large flows must go to serbia and the union budget does not increase it . also , the delegations of the croatian parliament and the council have asked to extend the mandate of the eib . i hope that as soon as possible and contacts are like croatia also to the serbian people who have the greatest respect , deserves our support to this . ( parliament approved the minutes . in this respect , we call for the women in the european parliament to take part in this mission to participate , on tuesday and wednesday we will launch an appeal that we will be signed and collection points for participation in the face of the delegation , which are precisely the point made between women bridges peace to propose , in a place where there is violence instead . as a whole was both basques , spaniards hardships suffered ; and spaniards basques have enough by the current conflict . madam president , you will recall that i , at the last part-session at the plight of the british pro-democracy james mawdsley of democracy have pointed out by the burmese authorities detained was illegal . madam president , for me , it is really a matter of the rules of procedure . this report , which is not technically concurrent to major political changes have to think that is the reality is very important because it means indirectly introduces the possibility of genetic engineering in wine-growing using genetically modified products and therefore to get on wine-growing . if we are not going to vote on the report , and it will be delays . the conseil d ' etat has - as you said - that appeal , and we have been rejected this rejection in properly informed . again today , however , such a case of a member of the ppe group is concerned , it is not , however , my political camp in italy belongs . this is why we so keen for the introduction of a social scoreboards a , as has happened to the internal market , with clear measures , with time , with option . i hope , madam minister , can the council from the expectations of parliament , and hopefully will inspire you manage to which the european council in nice in an ambitious objectives enshrined in the european social agenda , then we can work together in the coming years . following the informal council of employment and social affairs on 8 july in paris , the presidency had all players involved - of course , the european parliament , the economic and social committee , the committee on the regions , the social partners and the ngos working groups and committees , the council urged him to convey its proposals . the debate on the comparison of the quantitative and qualitative aspects is inappropriate and , in lisbon has been clearly defined a dual purpose : more jobs and höherqualifizierte jobs . this mobility must be promoted and also the protection of the professional career be guaranteed . we must try to make the gaps in the system to specify and also to appoint and , in any case , to bear on the agenda . the open coordination method is in our opinion of the right way to guarantee a social europe . the implementation of the lisbon objectives farm-to-fork society requires community efforts , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the service sector , especially in terms of the information society . the commission can do a great deal , but the social problems are and must include a regional basis and a very sensitive to the specific conditions to be dealt with . the social dimension served as compensation for the folgenschwersten effects of economic policy . it would have been better if the original commission proposal as to allow such as it was good luck , commissioner . it is an ambitious agenda , and i still remember with difficulty , as we in the last parliament came forward with social protection . i think it would do well to the women in so doing , to support their family and working life to reconcile . i sometimes get the impression that , with the concept of often undermining the modernisation of social protection is meant . what are the most important features of content ? yet it is difficult to define european objectives which are equally valid for all member states , because the reality is proving a quite different . there have been 49 amendments tabled by the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities presented . in an amendment proposes that an annual here in parliament have a debate on the subject , together with the commission to implement . another point is the increased support for the community 's assessment of needs to take additional measures , including , if necessary , the implementation of legislation on equality and the fight against discrimination . it has certainly been in the past of good ideas and plans for the lack of gender equality , but unfortunately the implementation thereof often failed . it is not acceptable for the voice of the women of a handful of forderungsprofis monopolises will be taken to do with public money kept alive . it is the question of gender equality in the civil sector to allow women to enable it to the full benefit of the human rights and fundamental freedoms to come . what i expect that , finally , the male players in this direction and outdated role stereotypes and combat . we must thank you , however , that it has followed our debate , for their presence throughout the debate was not actually envisaged . competition policy . we owe our companies are the most favourable conditions to enable them to their production and not least its future can plan . consumers must have access to a wide range of quality products to be attractive prices , and that is , ultimately , the reason that we want the internal market and so on free competition is because our citizens benefit from it . that is the beihilfenentscheidung nichtbeihilfenentscheidung or in the area of coal . point 16 of the report by mrs riis-jørgensen calls for greater legal certainty in the implementation of the control of mergers and more efficient and more rapid time treatment in the case of recourse to the courts . in all cases , these are public companies which are not their financial management , but instead about a previous monopoly or stand for . we need increased involvement of citizens in the information about the competition policy , so that he recognizes the benefits . they are for the economy and employment in the regions , extremely important , and i hope that this aspect in future stresses , so that these national subsidies for regional development and the regional economy , for example , weitergezahlt transport market . this communication contains three right messages . i also warmly thank mr evans for his excellent report on the community rules on state aid to the steel industry , and respect for the commission 's report on state aid in the european union . the members mrs palacio and mr karas and also the other members who have spoken about these issues , i should like to say that its concerns on board many of the regulation . otherwise we would ourselves in our efforts to promote competition and the consumer a disservice . the debate is closed . with this financing is article 119 of the ec treaty being implemented under the third phase of economic and monetary union will only for the single currency is not the acceding countries . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i am thankful that today we are still on the proposal for a council directive amending directive 193 / 68 / eec on the marketing of vegetative material with regard to discuss , and i hope to be a positive vote tomorrow . some of you have on 5 july the appeal made by beaune its concern with regard to the introduction of gmos in their business expressed . it contains provisions to facilitate further the cause of vielseitigem justifications reproductive material , since it best gesundheitsgarantien which provide for the effective support for the restructuring of wine in the community , the key element of the new com in wine which is urgently required . it must be said loud and clear that it was necessary in any way , the rule of this directive to mention the amendment to directive 90 / 220 , which is fully to fill , unless we wanted the manipulation of weinreben forcibly forward . amendment no 35 to 40 can accept , aimed at the security and defence managementerfordernisse under directive 90 / 220 consistent given . i would like to say that the plenary session , was not invited to take a position as such . madam president , i refer to paragraph 14 of this protocol to the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . on the qualified majority , i would like to comment on something . there are also the weighting of the two options are still on the table : the simple weighting for which a small majority emerges , or the double majority , but on the basis of various formulae such as double simple or neugewichtete majority , or some sort of ' demographic network ' . furthermore , the european council without prejudice to bedarfsbewertung and the coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic of yugoslavia , the commission and the european central bank to be carried out jointly decided by the federal republic of yugoslavia , an initial emergency humanitarian aid amounting to eur 200 million of them . if you like spontaneously and openly say to my mind , i would ask how sensitive this issue - the composition of the commission and the voting procedures - may be , the success or failure of nice will not be measured . it was also that the leaders of the charter of fundamental rights have been accepted , but i must also remember , mr president-in-office , why was this agreement possible ? we must not by the spirit of nice buzz ruin and therefore it is in the remaining 50 days of primary importance that the negotiations on a political level to combat . in this respect , i would also like to honourable members of the european people 's party - and i would ask mr poettering that he is listening to me , because , for which we in parliament argue that we must also stand out there . after all , what we are on the results of the heads of state and government in biarritz on the most complex issues of reform of the knowledge that the charter will probably be the greatest trophy in nice . the council really would meet the expectations of european citizens if it is a wide-ranging consultation of the peoples of the national parliaments , held in order to reach a charter which actually correspond to the needs . therefore , any invitation to return to the sources of our union , have the courage to by mr giscard d ' estaing and mr schmidt than they had 1976 1979 and on the election of the european parliament in election by universal suffrage decided , and for us to decide that we finally 2009 a president of the european union , the commission to do . in this respect , i would particularly like to respond to what mr poettering , on the discrepancies between large and small countries has said . i would like very briefly to refer to the questions of foreign trade policy , because this is an extremely serious . that is certainly something valuable , which is all the members of the european council has been highlighted . a second very positive aspect is the adoption of the charter in their entirety . moreover , it seems to me that on this fundamental question for the future of the european union and for their decision-making processes in biarritz assets has brought . i hope that we will succeed in this respect , to convince progress , and in nice we impose . i should like to make two specific examples : the right to work on is right to work , and have become a number of accidents in the social chapter of the council of europe 's rights are not included in the charter . seen from the discussions which show the throughout europe , including biarritz , have been led to the larger member states , the smaller partially to reform the european union to push the direction taken by the larger member states and their wishes responds . the discontent on both sides , the proof of the negotiators , that you are at a reasonable compromise towards . the leadership of europe has no clear vision formulated . a commission , the criteria of the representation of the individual member states is structured , is lacking vision . in such a centralised union have the small countries less influence as the small states zweikammernsystem in the united states . after the summit , sharm-el-sheik where all concerned to find a solution but tried to put a stop to the violence and dialogue between barak and president arafat back on track to set up , we have seen how difficult that is , although it would have had very briefly , as if the violence to her . bad whistle-blowers , mr barón crespo , it appears that compel things about italy and to express my party , which are untrue . it is an important step forward in the european energy taxation , which so far been blocked by the unanimity rule . we should not be allowed to do that , in the small states fear is being created , one could go on direktoratslösungen . i believe that the convention has done excellent work , and also , i am proud that i have drawn from this body . in the second factor is the question , which specific intervals in relation to the principle of large and small countries have completely equal rotating system should be applied . the extension of qualified majority voting , together with the codecision procedure on important cases , the maintenance of article 250 in its present form , the place and the commission 's role in the strengthened cooperation , not only for the first pillar - these are some points by which we cannot assess whether immediately after a success or failure of a mistake . mr president , i would first of all , mr jacques delors , altiero spinelli and thank fernand herman vaclav havel and everyone 's reach carlo ciampi , joschka fischer , up to jacques chirac , by michel barnier up to pierre moscovici , by chris patten at florence and costa simitis , without taking into account the large number of meps who , since 1999 again for a motion for a european constitution gave . we should not criticise the commercial europe too , as you say - a socialist , because it has created more prosperity for all . we should at least agree on this objective , and here we are doing this , we should also like to say that it is to achieve . i have noted with satisfaction that the proposals presented recently at the intergovernmental conference is actually totally or partially , i agree with the views expressed . mr president , commissioner , the rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you had hoped that a debate this morning on the questions takes place , whereby your house it considers necessary which , in april this year 's opinion on the igc wishes to add . it therefore seems to me , despite the respect of the current institutional framework to be difficult , i would like to be quite frank - more than to make a parliamentary opinion on the introduction of such cooperation . as you know , this is one that we are certain political decisions which are far greater extent than the three requirements which i have just outlined . i myself have also stressed that the method used for the charter to be a possibility erwägende either . however , i have understood that , in addition to the linguistic matter behind your question conceals a further concern . for that reason too , i would like to thank the form and content of your initiative . the introduction of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new institutions , in addition to existing institutions of the union 's lead . it is time to take to revise the treaties . this consensus violation of the european council of europe with its refusal to the european charter of fundamental rights into the treaty to include it legally binding and to make the citizens of their rights are violated , access to the european court access . otherwise , i think , will be a europe of citizens do not have to be . paragraph 8 : the constitution should - and i quote - ' the so-called ' laissées ouvertes rules . what is going to have changed since then , is still not been able to explain to me . secondly , we are talking about an inadequate tasks to the questions which leaves aside for the future of the union and the interests of citizens are of particular importance . mr president-in-office of the transmission of sihen according to the russian orthodox church , on the eve of bolschewistischen revolution - an event which for the whole world is disastrous effects should - in lengthy discussions on the construction of roben fastenzeit . therefore , closer cooperation between all the guarantees which the rapporteur has mentioned : it must be open to all the spirit of the treaties are respected , and should not run counter to the acquis . one thing i would like to point out , however , it does not seem appropriate to establish a demand - or on the way to go , in all member states a compulsory referendum , precisely in order to adopt the proposed amendments . we have a truly comprehensive debate on the two issues , which has admittedly diverse totalitarian are , however , there is one point . we are prepared to take to ensure that it during the meeting in november and the adoption of a vote that has thus far during the french presidency will take place . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) what is a possibility of introducing the part-time ' as a threat to the other than in many countries have already far too high retirement age ? as you know , as well as the marmalade eat pensioners like children . i have the pensioners who me about the pensioners ' party in the european parliament from have asked , whether you would like to genetically modified drink wine . in addition , in exceptional cases standardvermehrungsgut can be marketed , if not , the need to be covered by other categories . that is why i would ask you , mr president , the differences in labour costs are not , therefore , a restriction of free competition in the european union constitutes ? only could therefore be voting against this resolution , which i do indeed . despite the increased liberalisation in the european union , state aid is still a constructive role in achieving a social and economic progress to be . for the environment , the safeguarding of public service and to guarantee equal income for people living in the weak regions this aid can be indispensable . we are doing at the risk that the eu 's attention to the consolidation of their control over the significant state aid , the less extensive aid under the pretext of target will make up for competition between small and medium-sized enterprises to look like . section vi - economic and social committee if one looks at the fälligkeitspläne the implementation of the budget heading 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , you realise that there is an average only 8 % of all by means of payment requirements are met . three years ago , we have started with our employment strategy , by small and medium-sized enterprises chancenkapital helped to get . the european parliament wants to do this in two ways . only then will the european institutions also fulfil its mandate . i should like to take this opportunity to express the vice-president responsible for budgetary matters , to thank mr gerhard schmid , for their constructive cooperation . we hope that this committee will give its capacity for work , but we cannot allow that at least to the european parliament 's demands as part of the budgetary authority will be heard . this means that the year 2001 provides recent total annual budget , and that is also the background for the assessment of the commission 's proposal and of the proposal which we are presenting to parliament . we also want a review of the administrative expenditure . since 1985 - please note that since the committee on budgets - 85 attempt by parliament to ensure that the procedure in the financial impact of the european parliament 's resolutions adopted by the house to take into account . i shall conclude , mr president , by the other institutions , thank you for the care of the common declaration to be given their procedures . today they have to decide on a budget of the first reading , by the council has been amended . as for the structural measures in the issue of the budget provided for in comparison with the 2000 budget has remained virtually identical . the council 's attitude towards a revision of the financial perspective is strictly factual . if one looks at these three different figures , you can see that there are still considerable differences , as well as a purely quantitative terms , of course , also in terms of content . i should like to point out that the comitology procedure , after a long debate last year , a new decision on it with the council was , and i have little hope that they can reopen this debate . at the berlin financial perspective for the period up until 2006 were in favour of the meda programme was 8.1 billion euros earmarked . i would therefore urge the council and the committee on budgets here in parliament , in its foreign policy considerations also to think about foreign policy and not just roads . the second concerns the aid to victims of human rights violations , the treatment of a special institutions need . we should look at the time being , a compromise solution to assess the work of the important emac-ausschusses support , we can still rules . otherwise , we consider the position of our committee open . we only need the television and call on the problems in the middle east , to see every day to recreate reminded us of this . i therefore hope that we in the vote tomorrow , to the necessary majority for the monitoring centre in dublin come ! mr president , allow me , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development , firstly a few comments on rural development . we have to authorise the indikativer appropriations amounting to eur 2 million for an information campaign on the cfp requested . the commission needs to be strong arguments to negotiate a reasonable agreement with morocco , and achieve the work of the council and the governments concerned , it is that these negotiations of political impetus to make . we look at the 2001 budget today , so are the pictures of the serbian population before our eyes . overall we wish to have that these amendments are adopted . an important opportunity for the citizens is open to make its voice heard , is to complain to the ombudsman or petitions to parliament in order . first of all , the parliamentary budget . a great surprise of many members of my delegation we adopted unanimously in early september kernstrategie . the 400 amendments , which some of my colleagues have been tabled , which were so many of us in the committee on budgets rather surprising . it is difficult to see how the new posts can solve the problem , as long as both in the commission and the council and complicated old-fashioned methods of management of the many programmes are implemented . this parliament has in recent years has repeatedly shown that it is on the basis of its work is articulated austerity . it is not acceptable for people over the years very very loose on commitments and it is always accept , however , when it comes to pay , says that we are going too far , we must now be getting zurückschneiden ! if we are only a few million on the lines - are much more could not be - then we find the speckseite out , and if people are in fact , we need to have gone . the 2001 budget , as was the last year 's budget is hardly in conflicts , due to pressure from the consolidation and austerity , as it within the interinstitutional agreement has been decided to finance the enlargement will be put to the other hand , the stability pact acute finance for the balkans . requirements for the performance of better also include more staff . the adoption of this amendment in its original version was the starting point for a change in the situation may be , but it is on the committee on budgets rejected by a majority . unfortunately , it is for a few examples : the preferential treatment of associations with federalist ambition or by numerous ngos have very dubious methods and views on the financing of european political parties to the date for the prince programme vergeudeten amounts to the citizens of the merits of the euro are to be convinced , although this is a loss to the people of our danish colleagues up to the leaders of the european central bank largely share . finally , mr heaton-harris , with its amendments rightly pointed to the one-sidedness of many european programmes in which the citizens with a propagandastory about european integration will be vulnerable , notably at the expense of the citizens themselves . in addition our administrative systems must be modernised . we must also set an example . a good example for the meda programme for the latter is that of the mediterranean basin , a geographical area of great strategic importance . if some people about necessary cuts or the tracing of funds in category 4 , talking about a number of priorities to be able to finance , then we do not forget that parliament has set priorities . we have done this in the committee vote , quite clearly . this figure is needed , therefore , to clarify . thank you , mr wynn . it simply means the absence of genuine elements of flexibility to move ahead with a specific policy , while some that could not or wish for member states , what matters is that also applies to the applicant countries . in my opinion , austria has no reason to complain about the result , quite the opposite . this would allow the recommendations of the regional organisations and the experience of the neighbouring countries will certainly make a useful contribution . in 1984 had access 0.2 % of the landowners in colombia 32 % of land . it is not up to the council , or those this aspect of this extremely sensitive issue and painful to comment on . but nor can we make a start the debate on these issues , as i said , are extremely complicated . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : i shall therefore take care not to have a definitive answer on this difficult issue to be there . we only have the feeling , and your reply to some extent this seems to confirm that the presidency , in discussing this issue to a lack of consistency leaves . therefore , the emergence from this tax , of course , not to be zero . i forgive you also , however , we must apply the rules of procedure . the reason why it is on the right side has been so quiet , is the fact that we have already answered these questions , and we believe that we should not discuss the same things here several times and we are wasting valuable time . furthermore , as a temporary solution until the adoption of this text for the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in june 2000 a decision on specified risk material out with regard to these diseases was adopted in order to prevent any further spread of disease and the highest possible health protection for consumers to be guaranteed . i have no information on the other than those which i have just outlined to you . we are monitoring the work of the council and the commission and the erika i and are well informed about it , but on this subject , the meeresstraße in both countries and also throughout the european union is known as an extremely difficult meeresstraße by large ships in transit through just a few hours of saving is a risk that the old rostkähne somewhere , due to run a disaster and cause , i would have had and , above all the inhabitants of corsica and sardinia wondering whether it is possible , if you intend to transit through the streets of bonifacio for those big container ships , this is purely and simply to ban ? therefore we should in fact the commission 's proposals for a revision of the personnel policy support . in the budget will be for serbia and kosovo for the new money is needed . in conclusion , i should like to express the hope that we in the budget to eur 50 million can find , in order to finance the peace agreement israel-plo . this is why we in the european parliament propose new measures that are not so much to the search for additional finance - of which we already know that , given the current situation , cannot be found , but to define the new interinstitutional commitments which aims to improve the quality of expenditure and to achieve the fact that not one euro being wasted . remember that , in the european policies as in any other area the moderate options may no longer constitute the majority . it is rather verdunkelung because of the information , and today 's attitude shown with regard to the activity-based budgeting very disappointing . it also leads to the division of actions to be expected to the budget as a political instrument to realize where the distribution of expenditure reflects clear political priorities . we should take this opportunity to try to find a solution for several years was in order to ensure that this debate on the need for the reconstruction of the balkans next year and not info-point again lead to . who is working on developing a sustainable agriculture will be interested to know that the reform of the recent hauptvorstoß agreed in berlin , is a continuous transition from price support to direct income support for products to farmers to take place . but with a budget is always more than a sober series . furthermore , it is immoral that expenditure on the agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the excluded , in order to cut resources for the financing of the european union 's commitments in kosovo and yugoslavia safeguarded . quite simply : in serbia , the people in this winter neither freeze still go hungry . furthermore , i would like to express my concern that the various youth in the socrates programme have been incorporated . for the benefit of the council must of course also be made clear that the council also bears responsibility for its failure to phase out of some außenprogramme . we now need a stable solution for this aid and in more intensely to make the necessary planning for the whole of the western balkans . i believe that most people would be prepared to accept such a figure on condition to accept the fact that the money is used properly . i share the views and concerns of the rapporteur , mrs rühle , for this afternoon in connection with the chapters research and social measures specified . two weeks ago took place at the joint parliamentary assembly of the acp countries . at the same time , we want that , in the funds for research and information budget to be used to ensure that the current produktionsalternativen for tobacco growers to conduct research . i would like to stress that the european union , which relates to northern ireland and the most direct influence on the most positive had , one might imagine . in accordance with this model will respect the rules of procedure by means of an independent authority and in the last instance through the courts is guaranteed . therefore , we will first a codecision procedure at first reading , and can complete this at a very complex and technical difficulties with many flawed text in an area where the with regard to the protection of privacy is particularly sensitive . it is as very positive that for their tasks were not brought together . for example , is well known that the schengen system over 10 million data on almost 1.5 million people are being stored on europol , whose powers continues to be extended to the information from the national police authorities of the 15 member states which centrally , but only under the control of a government which neither the competence nor the resources available to really another purpose . that said , i would like the commissioner 's presence to underline that i feel there is not only for the protection of citizens in the new technologies should ensure , but also to use these technologies in the interests of better enabling citizens to have an appropriate and with the european institutions to communicate . in amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 and 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 , 60 64 by the council 's text adopted in the areas in which the commission can accept . it goes without saying that its opinions on the legislative proposals on the protection of personal data will be vital in this respect , it will be a major contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions to do . so , does the treaty for the outermost regions a difficult economic and social situation , which are of particular disadvantages addition which by their permanent situation and their interaction with the development of these regions considerably prejudice . in this way , the strategy on a high level of employment in the promotion of economic and social progress help . i therefore congratulate mrs sudre , we look forward to hearing the regulatory development of the commission 's proposals , so that the special features in article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam will soon be able to be taken into consideration . for many europeans are some extremely remote regions only a tourist destination a map . our unemployment rates are among the highest levels of the union . i am pleased to see that the committee , which i have tabled amendments adopted with a large majority . i think it is particularly important that the outermost regions in the pan-european transport , energy and telecommunications networks are included . the unanimous approval of our colleague mrs sudre margie report presented by the members of the committee on regional policy is indicative of the loyalty of the european parliament for its most important duties . we are not talking here about all the conditions and believe that it is to achieve this , indeed idyllischen satisfactory situation - if we want to call it - no more time will be necessary to further measures for dealing with these three areas , especially the outermost regions which we are discussing today , to take . this text will enable us - not in a position to do , however , it will enable us to strengthen our action - and i think this is necessary , to extend and improve . in the preparation of the necessary proposals , of course , the commission is working with the member states and regions together . the difficulties of these regions are - as we know , a lasting effect , and i therefore believe that , according to their actual development permanently on support from the regional policy and are dependent on specific measures . during the year 2001 could once again , this meeting will be carried out , if we can implement the programme has been presented in march , the progress made . the presidency has been decided that this matter has been completed , and i accept this without any reservations . i think that parliament is best for the current rules , because there are often - as another speaker already said - is not the equipment which does not work , but of individual members who have forgotten to vote for a vote might subsequently correct , then we would never have come to an end . i am actually osce , which i . after all , commissioner , it is , in addition , the authority is essential that the relevant services in the commission 's cooperation and consultation with member states , a system more and more effective controls in the whole food chain and build that the network of lebensmittellabors within the european union extended and in coordination with the commission 's action . since it in the scientific research to avoid overlapping must come up with national research institutions , and the eu-forschungszentren worked out . today we are discussing a white paper , and let us be motherly should be to establish some key principles . these proceedings have now been changed and improved , moreover , we have in the united kingdom an agency for legensmittelstandards established . finally , i should like to say that we also support some of the new amendments , such as amendments nos 11 to 7 to 13 and 14 call for amendment no 9 , we have a free vote . against this background , i should like to say the following : firstly , the food safety can only be guaranteed if strict official controls and carrying out these checks are to be just as effectively as the weakest link in the chain . we are debating a subject , which will quite clearly proves how superficial and substance our debate on the political unification of europe . therefore we entrust the european food safety authority alone with scientific testing in cooperation with our national authorities . it is important . the majority of food-borne disease , of which europe today is concerned , there have been first on the american continent . however , the conditions for referring cases of the authority is intended to be efficient and rapid action is guaranteed . we should also point out , as previous speakers have done , and especially mrs gebhardt and mr whitehead , that the white paper is very much more than just a new regulatory framework of the union . mr president , i am delighted that both today and gratitude to the commission , who work for a better food safety has initiated , as mr bowis and extended to all the committee on the environment . i regard as particularly important amendment no 17 , in which the cooperation of the consumer organizations calling for . another point is the complexity of the legislation on the labelling of foodstuffs both for the city as regards retail through which the consumer on the traceability of products and their ingredients finally properly informed and the identification of possible risks and crises responsibilities to be allowed . i think that new legislation is not the right response , if the existing provisions are not respected . the vote in the committee on the environment , we have managed to restore some balance , by extending the scope of nutrition and some important references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises to the maintenance of different eating habits have accepted . mr president , i would like the other colleagues , the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very logical and constructive approach to this problem congratulations . mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety itself has no legal force to jeopardise the dual meaning to which he is certainly not to play in the slightest . the rapporteur and also very many members of our committee , including myself , have put the emphasis on the food authority , which really is somewhat regrettable . with the independence and integrity of the authority is the position of european consumers are best served . in the course of this process , i have often thought that we in the selection process by the rapporteur have had a happy hand . mr president , i would also like to congratulate my colleague mr bowis for his laudable attempt to argue all opinions in his report to be included , and would also thank him particularly for having to comment on the broader concept of food has accepted . finally , the policy must not shirk its responsibility . the most important task is , however , that this body , the respect of other scientific committees which public confidence and the willingness of the governments in the member states earn , on its decisions to be accepted . that is how i see a food authority for the future . we have the world health organisation in geneva . i also verschweige that i am not in the publication of the white paper have spoken against the authority . it is therefore a need to ensure that the european union has the highest levels of safety , but it is within this unanimous agreement on stoßenden approach to the economic consequences for manufacturers be analysed . the role of the authority will then : an independent scientific advice , research and independent controls and inspections and an early warning system , but also certainly coordination to restoring confidence . i would like to take this opportunity to provide a solution to the speakers cautious with regard to the promotion of local products and traditional specialities have demanded that assurance that this issue the hygiene is taken into account . it will facilitate the commission to present a balanced proposal relating to the position of parliament and the number of players in the area of food safety be taken into account as far as possible . this is not the first time parliament deals with the subject of anti-personnel mines , but this problem was rather among the deciding factor in political terms for the signing of the ottawa convention . i repeat my rejection of amendments nos 10 , 19 , expressed in the coherence of the budget , and amendment no 29 to request a split vote on the various parts of the wording of the whole text , in my opinion on certain misinterpretation is suffering , to improve . and this is where the first question , the countries which have not signed by the european union must , above all , the commission to sign the ottawa convention to be asked . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know the consequences of anti-personnel mines , although in individual cases are often have great military reasons . parliament has made this subject in 1996 on the agenda at first been the case for a horizontal line and a proper legal basis has called for a common platform for the broad range of our actions in this important area of employment . but i do not deny that the thoroughness of the european union to other countries by the fact that something is limited , in some member states there are problems with the signing and ratification of the convention there . the effectiveness of mine action is greatest , if this individually on the particular circumstances of each type of situation . parliament knows that there are already too many of them . as you know , we intend to do with our proposals on reform of external aid from the budget review of individual projects and deny us to discuss with the member states should concentrate instead on general strategies and programmes . many ngos have been established , which deals with this problem still . nonetheless , we must first four years after the united nations conference on the issue of landmines in geneva and over a year after the introduction of the ottawa convention to say how many countries , and thousands of people , mainly in the world 's poorest regions is still in a frightening degree of risk of anti-personnel landmines and fire and munitions which are not explode , are victims . the commission must improve the quality of their programmes and speed up their implementation . if these amendments is to carefully examine it , but i think that you will see that some of you mentioned them campaigns , transparency and access to the appropriations and the ngos concerned with issues which are indeed right to function properly , but whose effectiveness could be improved . mrs bonino and mr patten have also agree with your view that the council and parliament 's administration should be exempt from commissioner patten . i have listened very carefully on this point , because it appears that it takes the view that we must be more involved . mr president , our group has made a commitment for many years for the whole range of requirements and action in this area is needed - by produktionsstopp about the destruction of minenbestände , the attitude of the market , the clearing of mines through to the rehabilitation of victims and to promote public awareness . it is then the task of the member states , this process at international level to support . the mines are of course , a major obstacle to the reconstruction in these countries , and also for the return of refugees is essential . under the current rate of dismantling if we were here - as was said earlier - far more than 100 years in order to make up the earth from the anti-personnel mines . the third area i see some concrete measures , which we propose a review and should follow . every child that we in bosnia , africa and elsewhere in the terrible minentod or injury to maintain the effort by all of us is worth . it must indeed be exerted pressure on the other countries which have not signed , such as finland , or have not yet ratified , such as greece . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , look at it again finland ! finally , let us hope that in the context of the future role of the common european military force professionals be trained , above all the people who , something that is because the mines are disappearing . and you stress that neither on the list of countries most affected are , above all developing countries . the demands of the european parliament could hardly ever more clearly contrary to the lisbon objectives are . the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , like parliament to be amended by the commission 's proposal to add that , in particular by means of various kinds of areas that are appropriate legislation and the establishment of certain rights at european level . this means that the luxembourg approach , which applies to employment policy , on the social protection and social exclusion be extended . the major powers germany , france , great britain and to some extent in italy , are all agreed that they are small eastern and southern european countries to join the european union wants to retain their bow to . we consider it wrong , however , for legal reasons , which are already in relation to take this kind of 6 teu , because it in the convention , under its structure - it could be formally adopted and therefore no legislative holds . the incorporation of the new texts in the treaties could lead to legal uncertainty . moreover , the rapporteur for the voice of power in brussels modern new theory of the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union , that is the result of the european parliament represent the people and countries represented by the council . the swedish and danish social democrats have today against the report by the constitutionalisation of the treaties on oliver duhamel voted . to this end , the european union must develop towards a constitution , which includes the charter of fundamental rights . a constitution would only make sense if it for the democratic framework for a genuine european federation , form a united states of europe , which would form . he said that he is in line with a large majority of politicians to the fact that we have reached our relations with other countries prefer an international treaty regulated by asking what . . i welcome the report by mr duhamel , interesting and constructive contribution to the concept of constitutionalising the treaties . we believe that a reorganization and simplification of the treaties that the public would facilitate the competence of the eu - and their borders - and the procedures to perform this clear responsibility to see . up until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 was an intergovernmental europe supersyndikat . the edd group is voting against the report by mr gil-robles gil-delgado on closer cooperation . it is indeed a monolithic vision of the union too , in which all forms of cooperation ' within a single institutional framework in place and to the objective of a super-state should be focused . therefore , a general slowdown must be prevented by certain member states through the development of closer cooperation is to proceed more quickly . the structures of the internal market to function since the early 1990s , a very successful . - ( nl ) the cooperation at european level can be useful for resolving cross-border problems . these regions could serve as an excellent versuchsstation for sustainable development opportunities . the european judges and technocrats who wanted to develop the ' special fr de ' mer rid of the overseas territories with our citizens in the resources provided , and especially our craftsmen safeguards . france has , however , in the indian ocean and municipalities in the caribbean . their independence is a condition sine qua non for its credibility . hence our vote is to clarify the role and the composition of the planned european authority , but it also contributed to our demands their funding and specify its independence . secondly , the european agency must be completely independent . we need the kind of agricultural and agroindustriellen practices , the problem of nahrungsgüterimporte , the composition of the ingredients of feeds the ceilings for dioxin , and for residues of additives in food and food safety and others take priority . we have voted in favour of amendment no 15 , because this is the defence of europe 's cultural heritage in the area of production in the field of great concern . we will remain virtually no expenditure category in a room for manoeuvre . since we would now be 50 % in the budget line and 50 % in reserve in place . the question is , as this could be combined with each other . report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets on draft general budget of the european union on the budget 2001 , section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) madam president , my name appears under several amendments to this report . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) the real surprise this budget is in the external policies , where selfishness and miserliness prevail . also , by using the flexibility instrument resources can be released . . ( el ) i voted against the haug report and for the proposal of my group , the general budget 2001 voted to reject . we are thinking in particular , to the new pilot project in this framework , measures to combat paedophilia are financed . not least , this demonstrates the low level of commitment to this project , even below the politically active citizens . in this way will fall 20 to 30 % of the markets in the private sector to competition . since this is not guaranteed , with scanty report , i voted against the report . if the unacceptably low thresholds which sea-life national aid , in connection with the proposed reduction of rücknahmemengen at 5 % in the citrus at 8.5 % of apples and pears and to 10 % for the rest , fruit and sheepmeat , it is clear that a huge quantities processed fruit and vegetable products can no longer be sold on the prices as a whole , are the fruit and vegetables and in the fields of processing verrotten and to enable farmers to force will see the planting of grubbing up . i have voted in favour of this report because it to the expectations of portuguese fruit and vegetable sector organisations cows which represents a radical change in the com in fruit and vegetables , since you have asked for the view that these are the national interests profoundly damaging . mr johan van hecke 's report ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) the root of the is that everything , even the quality of the environment and the climate , the capitalist exploitation of productive resources and the large being sacrificed . the starting point in kyoto was that the rich countries keep strictly to your own air , with a limited extent , however , have the opportunity for their help in some countries have been added to their own ergebnisliste emissions to be achieved . . ( fr ) in combating the greenhouse effect is a great challenge for the industrialised countries and a duty towards the people in particular the developing world , the consequences of climate change already pay with their lives . the art of life , is to deal appropriately with these risks and uncertainties . even the endocrine disrupters - effective efforts which suspected substances to be precise - are exploring , possibly by means of a legal framework , and continue to increase . the consumers and smes contributes to the introduction of euro fait internal market does not sufficiently profitable . the banks have until now , namely by the member states to cross-border payments of eur 12 500 to allocate zahlungsbilanzstatistischen its central bank to say . of course , apply to them the same strict requirements in terms of security and money laundering . we know , even in cases of cross-border credit transfers are puzzled after the euro has increased , not only a small amount . the european central bank could help , one with the implementation of the single european datenformats in payment transactions and by supporting the implementation of a single european bic within the international iban-systems . the fact that the consumer , accept the euro is of crucial importance . madam president , the report by mrs peijs on the retail within the internal market , the old demands of the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border payments in the union back . the peijs report shows this recital d of the resolution itself note , where it says that the high charges for cross-border consumer confidence in the ' euro ' appreciation . there is still much to do so , but the ways and means of politicians , that we can do , in this area are lower than in our scope for the question of payment in the single market . the formulas will continue to be perceived as an area of the citizens do not understand that in this area in which exchange rate will be removed and the electronic payment with increasingly internet-banking will , of course , a transfer from munich to salzburg considerably more expensive than a transfer from munich to kiel . in order to achieve this objective and they are still many years we have to work . on that occasion , we will also have a shorter period the handling of cross-border credit transfers , as the report by mrs peijs , has pressed for time . the debate is closed . the right policy there is no doubt that it is a pragmatic and kmu-nahen approach to give priority to which the small business at the heart of the instrument of power and not a proposal which , under the pretext that they want to avoid everywhere , which would only serve to produce good statistics , specifically in no way since then . but , more specifically , i have three comments to this programme . it is worth pointing out that the first community action programme in this area has been adopted in 1983 , i.e. 17 years ago . i am also has always been in favour of this on the basis of an efficient and pragmatic policy should be . would you as a genuine outposts of business and innovation , particularly in the forefront of the existing in these areas are exposed to risks directly . finally , we also need the results of the brussels ' science and governance ' , it last week in brussels under the auspices of the institute for technology foresite in seville which was held and the follow-up to this epstein consideration , because there are many connections to our debate today . the rapporteur lists a number of points on which to the environment for companies in europe to improve . this is excellent news for europe , because technically correct , competent and quickly can be helped . mr president , i would like to thanks for the excellent work of mrs montfort endorse . it is important to measure well , to avoid a situation in which people are constantly at the expense of others fail . this is unfair , which is why i support this report ! this is also the guiding principle of the charter for small enterprises . the programme will be designed so that information on the networks will be made available . the main objective of this plan is clearly the control of immigration in the countries of the european union and the readmission of illegal in europe who live in their country . in particular , i would point out that measures to improve internal security , to strengthen its dialogue between europeans and local authorities in albania and , as far as the commission and the council is concerned , in cooperation with the albanian , the italian and the greek authorities targeted actions are required . the inadequate social , economic and political conditions in combination with poor or lack of legal certainty and organised crime , lead to massive today . mr president , in contrast to mrs pack , i believe that the more groups are dealing with albania , the better , it is . we obviously cannot immediately find a solution to the whole issue , but the medium term , we need a world where appropriate , security and justice in future to achieve . in addition , there is a gap between the donors - we , the european union , and the united states - the financial resources to contract out projects and differentiation on one hand and the local population other . so let us use the bilateral agreements , which is legally and clearly the activities of the place of residence , who pay , working hours , working conditions and the insurance prescribe conditions to enable the immigrants to force the economies of countries which are in progress and instead of nationalist aspirations in a spirit of the cold war to stir up the friendship and promotes cooperation between peoples . people will be sent back to some extent , which could well have integrated . we must not focus on how to reduce the prospect of refugees , but how is the situation in the region can be improved so that the people to stay at home . mr president , i also believe that , as mr dimitrakopoulos quite rightly pointed out , the central issue in terms of economic , social and the internal security problems affecting albania continues to rebuild the country which is the rule of law , to guarantee the safety of citizens and the restoration of the reputation of the institutions and local administrations to support . i am as mr liese , think that we have a sharing in the refugee and asylum policy is needed . the action plan for albania and the neighbouring regions has been adopted in june this year , since this is , therefore , to the sixth framework programme . there is sometimes fremdheit frustration , but also in relation to the european right , and we ourselves , but also the other institutions to call for the detailed work here mühsal should not be afraid of detailed work and make the necessary time and to provide the necessary staff . we want this report certainly send out a signal to the citizens that we are complaining about the lack of quality of legislation , and the complaints about überregionalisierung centralism and seriously . it goes without saying that this subject in itself extremely important , even though the limited number of participants in the forthcoming debate on this now , this house at first sight , actually dagegenspricht . in addition , the report would inevitably raises the question of subsidiarity , which , in this chamber this evening is somewhat controversial . it would be of interest to you in the light of this list the legal situation , in order to be simpler , more transparent , efficient and to formulate a more focused and unnecessary legislation to delete paragraph 6 of this report , as proposed . after a very detailed examination of the report 's conclusion , i am satisfied that it is also no political principle : it is a theological dispute . this means that the recognition of the subsidiarity principle until the smallest local authorities , local authorities , the intermediary organisations , the social classes , families and their citizens the only ones who really want the sovereignty of the legislative and administrative pressure , which must be guaranteed . let me give you a summary , therefore . i shall now give the floor to the commissioner . we are dealing here with an area that we should regulate the detail of guaranteed everywhere , implementation , or should we consider whether a voluntary agreement , provided that they can be implemented and monitored , is an alternative ? - i have voted for the report , although i agree with amendments was not adopted , because it deals with the excessive wechsel- and transfer costs in the area concerned . if the fifteen months in eleven member states will also be the same notes and coins will have to be placed on the acquisition of this single currency outside their residence more expensive . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must begin to lament the fact that the fisheries commissioner responsible , mr fischler , cannot be here today . it must be an agreement that the cooperation and the moroccan fisheries sector provides the impetus , but also of the european fleet fishing interests into consideration . therefore , we are on the construction of a responsible partnership agreement with morocco , its position in a meeting will tell you that , as you have said , on 30 october , therefore , be held in brussels on monday . a few weeks ago i was even in the south of the spanish algeciras . that is near of morocco . over time , it has been proved that it is not only is difficult , but will actually be impossible to underline this . can the european union , through the fisheries agreements with third countries and fishing activities carried out fishing rights prices . in a swedish fischereifachzeitschrift was to read , as one of its fishing vessels in el aaiún brought ashore , this has been described as a moroccan ports . this is to be called into question . it concerns all our fisheries agreement with morocco and not just about this , since the agreement with mauritania , soon to do with guinea is being reviewed in achieving this . eleven months , you need to have reached the stage of the meeting on 30.10. to achieve this , and so we are also aware of the latest measures taken by commissioner fischler to appreciate that on 26 september his mission to morocco and at the highest level , even with the king of discussion . but i would like to see a few very brief messages to convey to the commission today by commissioner busquin , worthy of being represented . my question to the commission is : if no agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is reached on the commission 's signalisierten conditions , an agreement is concluded for the promotion of moroccan production , will the commission will have to compensate for the structural measures up to be taken of the regions affected will develop ? as we had anticipated , were the negotiations with the moroccan authorities extremely difficult one . if this is an undesirable outcome of the failures of the negotiations , the union has finally the political and moral duty to fishermen and shipowners with sufficient funding to help them to ensure their livelihoods . the overcapacity of the fishing industry of the eu must be reduced . we therefore need quickly close economic and political relations with morocco , while enforcement of our european fishing interests . that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership for mutually beneficial to both the full support of the fisheries sector in morocco , the fleet , aquaculture , the industrial processing and research and on the granting of fishing opportunities for european fishermen context . the rights of language lecturers ' this is not only in the german language is a clear difference . in july 1999 , the commission has this treaty infringement proceedings before the court . if it is not , therefore , of what is desired in harmonising systems must , therefore , as things currently stand , the principle of subsidiarity does not mean that what is probably a demand for a privilege to be dismissed as discrimination . admittedly , the previous commission under president santer was perhaps not the best , that is why it was also . members of the committee on legal affairs and the whole union and for all parties are gathered here to indicate that there is no sense to have the right to speak and to enter rechtschartas if you do not necessarily in such cases in which human rights are being refused to take effective measures to ensure that they recognised and enforced and that is in this case , the problem . that is in a modern europe really not acceptable . of course , the education sector under the subsidiarity principle , but under the treaties are the free movement of workers and banning discrimination to all our support , although we - and i very much , because i come from a federal state - the principle of subsidiarity as requirements for cooperation in the european union and commit ourselves to ensure that the earliest possible date kompetenzaufteilungen between levels in europe on the principle of subsidiarity in action . in this respect can no longer be the case of discrimination . mr president , would you , from an excellent familiar with the surgery concepts in italian , french and german or by a surgeons operate them ? ( the sitting was closed at 10.56 p.m. ) we are talking about you our deepest sympathy from . i give the floor to mr ceyhun ; he is speaking as rapporteur , and also on behalf of the socialist group . with regard to the statements by the council and the commission for the third asiaeurope tells us that the council , which is currently no statement he wishes . it is therefore a matter which , under the treaties and according to the euratom treaty is the responsibility of the commission ; it affects many citizens or can affect many citizens , not only spaniards because in this area and operational within their jurisdiction for which there are not even a plan , hundreds of thousands of european citizens of the 15 member states to live apart from the many who come from outside , because this is after all , the costa del disconcerting . madam president , i am sorry , but very interesting , from the spanish minister , mr mayor oreja to hear that discussions with basque nationalists are meaningless , even if a future cease-fire herausspränge here . i would question whether , for this week , a commission statement on the british government 's decision is planned to introduce a discriminatory tax for nichtbritische road ? as the so-called european parties , including the european liberal , increasingly tend to racist and xenophobic , authoritarian like-minded allied forces too , that is not just a serious risk to italy , but it also points to a problem that affects the whole of europe . however , the report contains some critical comments about the french proposal . these demands are the subject of amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . the initiative of the french presidency , we are debating today , the purpose of the above two general rechtshilfe-übereinkommen in criminal matters , in particular with regard to combating money laundering , to improve . i can only say this , if the idea of combating money laundering is being damaged , then this is not the fault of the council and parliament . on the results of their work , we can only congratulate you . the way to achieve this , of course , as mr marinho said - and i agree with this wholeheartedly - about the communitisation . all speakers agreed until now agree that , this is a very valuable initiative , and we agree with her . europol must be able to operate across frontiers . there are still too much in our modern europe and , before i approve a blind admiration , i should like to see the mutual recognition of fairer standards . i understand that it is very difficult , because we in the construction of a fragmentation of the instruments must be our starting-point . this is also a need to strengthen the european union as a location , and it is also a desire to citizens , which we have to take account of the citizens of the european union have a right to security . in the european union we need a firm the fight against money laundering and to realise that , in particular , the completion of the internal market and the liberalisation of services and capital markets for effective police and judicial cooperation between member states - as effectively as possible , if necessary . when an activity than finanzberater nothing justified to the adoption of the advocate as such , would not his profession . however , i am of course , aware that the question raised by several members of the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal professions the rejection of judicial cooperation in combating money laundering can explain why that is very sensitive . this applies in particular , for serious , and most serious cross-border crime . overall , the task so great and so important that they are not alone can be managed by the council . this is why we need to strengthen the rights of citizens , by creating a legal instrument particularities and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly in relation to questions to the interpretation and decisions . even though i fought for more cooperation and coordination , but i think that this project , a legal framework to be making a mistake , and we will vote against them . also there is a second point is of interest . that is why the full participation in this house is so good . as several members have raised a very sensitive issues , i would like to take this opportunity to you in all honesty , as mr coelho has just done - to say that we in this initiative , in particular , the first initiative and see what sort of political will of the council expressed by the police cooperation , as compared with the current backlog on judicial cooperation catch up . that is why it is also very important instrument in order to ensure that the judicial control of europol . the programme is fair to research in the areas of agriculture and fisheries , agri-industry was part of the fourth framework programme , which ran from 1994 to 1998 . given the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that some problems have been identified relating to the organisation of the programme . the court of auditors ' report on the programme is fair to which the langenhagen report , which has only been published in march this year , during the first time the auditing sektorschreiben in december 1998 and , in february 1999 , the commission were provided . on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to mention a few points . thank you for having made reference to the spirit in which the report was created ; it was the signs of dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission departments ; and you have made it clear how important this is to them . that shows that the commission has not been inactive and that it is their comments seriously . i now turn to the question raised by mrs morgan , that the amounts paid vacated by articulated . thank you , mr president , commissioner . during the december part-session the tribute should be carried out . it means , although there are some heads of state and government not to admit that it is my conviction that the opening of the parliament to do so often and so persistent requested constitutional process . i am extremely pleased that today i have the opportunity to share with you in detail on this draft the charter of fundamental rights of the european union there are to discuss before they are the final opinion of this house to adopt this text . personally , i do not doubt that this will provide the opportunity to do so . however , there were also some critical comments on the content of the charter . this is an important position , which i welcome . it was a great success for us as parliament - and this is the political groups zusammengestanden , that is a positive result - that we have established that the european parliament with 16 members in this rights was represented . this charter is , i think that a great success , and can , as a major european newspaper on 26 september 2000 , the hallmarks betitelte for europe programmes . for my group therefore considers it absolutely essential , in article 6 ( 2 ) of the treaty to include a reference to the charter . so , in fact , there are many who believe that europe should have the opportunity to get out of existence as a mere free trade and transformed the road of liberalism , in order to overcome the foundations of a europe of citizens to build . civil society is determined to mobilise and the european summit in december in nice to raise their voices and the charter to demand that the real guarantees for citizens of europe offers . this requires alongside the necessary signatures even more effective political obligations which every day , all the member states and all political forces must be implemented . let us therefore cry or pretend that we are happy to let us celebrate this great event , it is meaningless , nonetheless . the convention has done excellent work . both the rights of citizens ' rights , as also the social rights . this is the right to good administration which has been mentioned by mrs malmström , is one of the most significant progress is essential . i am not sure how much scope for mr blair puts his minions , in order to get this great project to the point . i certainly understand anything more . madam president , the last time you have from the either half full or half empty talk glass . but the cologne european council has supported by the body which has its role as stifter of extraordinary confusion , has played in achieving that everyone has forgotten that this is a matter of national parliaments , which is precisely this within the framework of a policy of small steps can be reduced . excessive grundrechtsschutz is just as harmful as inadequate ! when one hears the contributions of certain members , it becomes clear that this information is more necessary than ever . the important question which is now up to the cause of division , subject to the purpose of the charter . so we are once again disappointed and unhappy . of course we shall be voting for the charter , but with a feeling that this is the need for much enthusiasm and the commitment of the citizens of europe will be able , through the normal governments , and some more than the other hand , the historic responsibility will have to take . the rapporteur , mr duff , according to this is an important step towards improving the quality of european integration . anyone who has the need to do this , i recommend that a study of the statements made by the convention and 49 of the case-law of the two courts associated with the charter . mr president ! the first time since the creation of the european union to lay the foundations for a constitution for a constitution for the supranational entity , as the european union represents . however , you have understood nothing we demonstrate for a social and democratic europe , for a europe of citizens . until then , the draft charter before the parties to the environmental groups , churches , trade unions , and many other groups in the member states and candidate countries of the union an interesting basis for discussing the future cooperation between the peoples of europe 's interests . i would like to mention three points which , in the course of the morning of my colleagues have already mentioned . the charter , those of us today is to be adopted , not only strengthens the common values and fundamental rights should form the basis of our community , it also makes it clear . i therefore support of those who have of course , a reference to the charter in article 6 and its subsequent aspire to membership of the treaties . i have in mind the bernard connolly case , whose critical book on the commission to take a decision of the court of first instance could have not been published . this clarification is particularly important at a time when the european union is faced with the task of the legal position regarding the rights and obligations legally resident in the european union entitled to nationals of third countries . i am personally convinced that it is precisely what you have some immediate effect , and that they will be in the near future a binding way . during the debate , i have heard some frappierende formulations , the charter is a bone of dog , with the european parliament is to be carried out or it is a fig-leaf for everything that is a agonisierende french presidency , particularly in the direction of the intergovernmental conference was abandoned . this parliament has led to the establishment of an extended to propose forum in which qualified representative of the turkish community and european parliamentarians who have received a mandate to jointly detailed comments . unanimity , however , does not mean that we in the development of democracy in turkey and the way in which there will be dealt with human rights , which would agree . apart from that of course , i know that turkey 's candidature raises questions continue . the presidency hopes that this proposal as soon as possible , as has already been accepted by the next general affairs council on 20 november and , as i said earlier , taking account of very specific decisions taken in helsinki . it is also what the commission in its progress report very clearly said that turkey must , as all other candidates , within the framework of the right to the copenhagen criteria . president sezar in his statement to the turkish parliament last month with said quite clearly , why it is for turkey itself no alternative to this reform course exists . i thank you for your attention , ladies and gentlemen ! here too there was some easy positive signals . we reject the unreasonable demands from some of which , in the report so successfully in the balance achieved is to be affected . this applies especially to those amendments which the european parliament to accuse the past turkey should be imposed . this is a fact , just as it is a fact that turkey , as any civilised society , which should agree with the need to get to grips with their past , been pitifully it may be . turkey 's membership on this basis , and not only from the usa 's geostrategic reasons or nato should be added to the european union and a significant step towards a united europe represent . it is because we forget that only a small part of the turkish territory of the european continent ? we shall therefore vote against this report , as we are against all the reports which seeks to turkey 's inclusion in the european union has in mind , voted . damage occurring particularly if , in the hope of turkey 's accession have been created , given the political situation , but this cannot be met . report ( a5-0310 / 2000 ) by mrs langenhagen , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , the special report no 9 / 1999 by the court of auditors on research in the field of agriculture and fisheries , fair programme ( research in the field of agriculture , fisheries and the agro-industry ) , together with the commission 's answers ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ] i welcome this report and will vote for it . instead of human rights and the social rights to a higher level to make it easier for them to raise the ambitions of this at a lower level to evade . no doubt that it should ultimately be foundations for a future european constitution , which in turn serve the crowning glory of the eu 's development towards a federal structure that is where the decisions that have been in force , by a few and strong adopted and implemented by all the main aim is to the interests of the monopolies of the european union at the expense of the interests of employees and the people in general to service . this is a typical case in article 2 ( 2 ) to be found : ' nobody should be condemned to death and executed . nowhere is there , despite our requirements laid down that a family in a man , and there is a woman and children of employment , and that it is the grundzelle forms of society . in addition , given that this does not have been elected to judge a restriction of democratic staatswesens thereof . i certainly would have liked to see you immediately in our european treaties would have been included . nevertheless , i abstained in the final vote because i believe that some of the social rights clearly less than the economic rights are worded . the convention was originally assumed that the text to compile a consensus , which the member states by their inclusion in the treaties would give legal value . in fact , the fight against social exclusion on the level of social assistance rather than being limited to the call for towards employers and the state of fundamental rights are imperative . for my part , i am convinced that the secularity of emanzipatorischer which is worth . similarly , is missing from the sozialpflichtigkeit of property . this document as a legally binding document is inappropriate , as there is no legal text represents . members of the irish parliament recently raised the question whether brussels irish identity at risk , and mr ahern , in fact a fundamental prerequisite for eu membership of ireland 's economic success and prosperity , but also all he rejects any moves towards a more federal - centralised - europe , so as to what the majority of europeans and run counter to reject would face . you advise time , which has acted . incidentally , i would like to say that in this part-session as a whole seven reports on national initiatives to decrease , which shows that this system , where there is a very productive end up being so . these are absolutely indispensable targeted measures to combat this phenomenon , which is continually developed further and internationalised . with this initiative , the french presidency is proposing a framework decision on the approximation of criminal law and order in the area of money laundering ( tracing , freezing of assets and seizure of ) . all the member states should be dealt with as a criminal money laundering and with a sentence of at least four years is . since the laundering throughout the world has enormous proportions that we can only by extending the powers of europol counter and , ultimately , to draw up a european strategy for police and judicial cooperation in combating money laundering is about . i welcome the report roure to a further initiative of the french presidency in this case concerns the improvement of judicial cooperation in order to avoid the extradition of obstacles , one of the money of the proceeds of crime and to prevent crime suspected criminals . madam president , this is the only report , which i do not have given my approval . it would be the first member , that the gap in asia and the geographically bridged a predominantly muslim tradition has . this applies particularly to the stage where we are gradually increasing use of eib without , however , our financial risks fully cover . in this connection i would emphasise the hauptschlussfolgerung paragraph 22 , turkey fulfil the copenhagen criteria and not to refer to the many condemnations of acts or omissions of respect for human rights , democratic freedoms and its international occurrences , and the relevant european parliament 's recommendations to the country to adapt to the relevant european values . mr president , we are concerned , the fact that the official representatives from turkey and the turkish press does not currently encouraging progress in this direction are discernible , rather , the attempt being made to the development of resistance . nicosia is today , eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall , the only divided capital of europe . in the necessary progress is still not been sufficiently achieved , and turkey must continue to trouble . mr president , mr president-in-office , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like , in my capacity as rapporteur for the accession of cyprus in this discussion . mr president , we cannot vote for the morillon report because we are sure that , contrary to the assertions and expectations of many people in turkey 's accession to the life of the people will not improve . at the same time , however , i believe that it can be no black picture of how things should draw up . since there is therefore an internal relationship . mr brok , on the now has met us , which has just been mentioned in the negotiations have been identified . here we europeans have experience , which we can pass on . it is , in fact , not just as 1995 , is a new balance towards eastern europe to produce , but also the need to prepare for future enlargement of the union . xenophobia , state terrorism or other forms of terrorism are included in this area with in , and i hope that , here too there is an opportunity to put things in order . with this fact , unfortunately , we have to live with . here also , however , we should be open . all the indications are that there is the inadequacy of the results achieved so far are aware , however , the proposed solutions , in my opinion , the situation still remains to be fair , although i admit that five years for such complicated issues are certainly not much . therefore , our debate today , to help us the crucial importance to this policy for the whole union , has to realise . it must be no competition between all these needs to be , but we must find new resources . the spiral of violence in the middle east , aware of this brutal war against the palestinian people to israel continues to their right to their own state refusing to threaten the future of the region . mr president , as the european union in nice their balance between deepening and widening must be found in marseilles , it should be a balance between its zentraleuropäischen role and its mediterranean create responsibility . however , on such occasions days selected balance sheets for five years before the barcelona process , the idea that the position of the on-going process , with the fact that meetings at ministerial level , involving representatives from the israeli and palestinian administrative authorities of lebanon , syria , etc. have taken place which can be satisfied that may be a armseliger consolation . the present in the mediterranean shared problems have been many : illegal immigration , poverty , the external debt , human rights , drought and terrorism , in the life of innocent people and their families mitleidslos destroyed , such as spain , the tragic events in algeria and the middle east show . that is what we want to believe , however , the countries of the south need more than speeches and promises that we must give you . europe has no policy with regard to the desertification of the mediterranean countries or brauchwasser farms , and it must be an environmental policy for the mediterranean to consider , by which coordinates the attitudes and also the climatic diversity in this area that . i think it is far more balanced the current proposals . turning now to the agency in kosovo . we must not disappoint their expectations ; all of these countries need our help today more than ever . in conclusion , may i say - and i repeat that the words of the commission - that these two proposals for the fulcrum and pivot of a process of providing for the full involvement of those countries which have had so many problems and , in the leading european structures . we need to allocate the responsibility of the few mooring , are at a director , if you like , that really is a responsibility to the body responsible for the individual programmes selective . i therefore thank all my fellow meps who aim to be important , and i am pleased , therefore , that we will be more in this area as well as to content in these countries can bring . in a number of reports on the elections in bosnia , which i read the parliamentary elections in bosnia-herzegovina ultranationalisten had won . as you know , the european union is strongly committed to contribute to this historic changes . the debate on the reports westendorp and lagendijk , for a regulation on the framework programme , or to the european agency for reconstruction is to encourage us back to the extent of the union 's support to refer to the western balkans about follow-up of the stabilisation and association process will grant . the long-awaited victory for democracy in croatia , and then in the federal republic of yugoslavia requires the union , as we know to go further . question time ( council ) as they deal with the same subject , questions nos 2 and no . recently , is with the resolution 1324 parties with a further period of four months have been granted in order to try to achieve progress on two fronts . i would like you to the current state of the association agreement with morocco questions . the stability and development of the caucasus is one of the strategic priorities for the european union represents . as for the discussions with turkey is concerned , we have just had a wide-ranging discussion on this subject , and the union 's position on this point is well known to you in detail . i would like to ask the minister , just like to emphasise that the proposed legislation aimed at all those who profit from people who are in an emergency procedure , and that is not about , immigrants or risk further to criminalise immigrants . it is necessary and appropriate legislation as well as measures for a more comprehensive discussion and greater public awareness . i believe we must do everything possible to do everything possible to fight against crime , and i note that the council and the union as well as the united nations assembly and , i believe that the turkish government is prepared to do so . and it is precisely because the fourteen other countries you missbilligten , you have taken measures . for example , if , tomorrow , in my own country , france , and here i am speaking as president-in-office - right-wing extremists would be a party to power , i would like to see you in my country takes measures against austria , as you have been taken . i wanted to speak of values ; i mentioned the values , as they are enshrined in our 's , i spoke of values , as the charter of fundamental rights have been reasserted , and i spoke in particular - that is true - in the fight against all discrimination to all european texts said is that we have in mind . i would like to remind you that this political dialogue with the future accession of the elements of the pre-accession strategy for turkey is set at the time . question no 12 by ( h-0850 / 00 ) : this is what we must try to achieve that , and we will pursue this line exclusively . this must be pointed out that the moroccan side not to the gemeinschaftsangebot has replied . these citizens derive from scotland where remand 110 days after custody either charged with an offence or should be released , without having to do the same offence must again accusations . specific measures were taken ( such as the security of supplies of energy efficiency ) , in order to ensure that the economies of the less vulnerable to external crises are and what are the measures and the short- and medium-term priorities of the council for energy efficiency and energy savings ? the union 's position on the from the united states had extraterritorial measures remains unchanged . finally , i have noted that the european union , with the concern of the vast programmes and , on the ground observations that have been noted , and the negative and often dramatic effect on american wirtschaftsembargos regrets the cuban people . does the council is not that we have here a highly political issue and that is the respect of equal distance towards victims is unacceptable and perpetrators ? firstly , this agency of the commission 's decision to decentralise the other hand , it has been excellent results in the implementation of the task given to record . the see no barriers to cross-border illegal activities , whether in the area of cross-border cooperation or drug trafficking , trafficking in human beings , we need to be combated . it would be sensible if the commissioner patten , a lot of experience , not to say - wisdom in dealing with international crises and is also different regions of the balkans has visited , even to the headquarters of the european agency for reconstruction , thessaloniki , begäbe and see how this works ansähe department . but this has never been stricken region of europe is so full of hope as now . i would first like to thank the house for the fact that the two draft regulations as thoroughly examined , and so quickly . even in serbia , where the commission in just four weeks ago a generous soforthilfsprogramm the value of eur 200 million has been compiled by the rapid results . of course , we can vote for this , that the guidelines from the commission made the reforms behind our attempt to increase efficiency should reflect . i hope that parliament understands the meaning of mine in may suggestions in this difficult issue and will continue to work together constructively with all interested parties . i can , however , the request of parliament to abolish the unanimity rule does not support because it contradicts the view of the college . the challenge for the third in seoul summit was to the asem process both for regierungsseitige participants , but also for the general public to develop . what about the involvement of citizens are concerned , we decided on the principle of asem opening up of a broader segment of civil society firmly , although the initiative of the ngos to create a social forum on the resistance of some asian partners was unsuccessful . we are therefore very happy that the summit meeting took place in seoul , with the exception of one or two all heads of government were here . even two specific amendments were adopted , in particular , the round table of globalisation and the programme to thanking fellowship 4 300 fellowships of ecu 25 million dollars . the commission communication is limited to the treatment of the aspects of the community competences and the member states to cope with the participation of organisations . if we assume that all the world 's meeresanrainerstaaten very little about the economic , legal , political and legislative potential , which the european union has to be very difficult to understand how we must ask ourselves what is our responsibility . that is particularly important to reform the cfp , but it is even more important to have the right to decide for reforms . hardly a fish has a permanent residence . we are all of us both in the european union , far more than they are also well aware . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , let me first thank you for your support in our efforts to thank the activity in the community 's regional fisheries organisations to encourage and also to increase . hitherto may have been some progress was made , but here is that we must above all , a better planning working time . the constant improvement in productivity of holdings has already led to an increase of supply , and once again an unlimited expansion of production to add that this would inevitably lead to a strong distort again . instead , it is preferable that everyone has his own pig reserve is founded . therefore , any pig his own piggy . it is also on the need to promote the producer organisations pointed out , whose advent for each member state are very different . the market organisations , as you have worked so far , have to have served , rather than as it would have prevented . the globalisation of the economy is evident in this case by case , and this has absolutely nothing to do with short-term crises . every stockmen everywhere in the union can join this instrument . mr fischler , the rapporteur , mr garot , has the commission 's current proposal to set up a fund for the pigmeat sector very professional and specific treatment . that is a question of compensation . in this sense , but i must confess that i have a different concluding , mr garot and also with the commission proposal , as it stands would almost say yes , i broadly agree . however , if we are honest , this is basically in favour of the problem is irrelevant . then the involvement of the specialist ferkelerzeuger in the proposed system , as proposed in amendments nos 7 and 13 expresses . what because , so that the commission has presented to us for ? first of all of the budget implementation in the various categories and haushaltsführungspraxis investigated . therefore the court reiterates its criticisms and suggestions of recent years on the negative effects of this practice , for example by not sufficiently sound , hasty decisions by mistake , because of work and so on costs . the dramatic developments of the recent past has shown that management and control at european level to be increasingly important . so the member states , the less well off timely penalised financially rewarded timely member states . in this context , i would also mention that the improvement of external assistance as a whole is an area which has a central element of the commission , both in terms of institutional reorganization of this whole area when it comes to the fact that the high level of arrears in this area and more quickly than previously , must be worked . well , the european parliament in an extremely difficult situation , because it will , in january this year - has declared that there is no longer accept that the accounts for 1999 is riddled with grave mistakes . i would like to mention a few problems and i hope that , mr karlsson today can answer my questions . mr karlsson said yesterday , the indication of figures , do not simply . i want to examine whether this is not already this year is possible , so we can start to assess the directorates-general . of course , we know about the current efforts by the commission . they will contribute to a reduction in the error rate . that is why the commission will now and in the future assessed according to what extent the regulations are complied with . i would firstly like to thank mr karlsson , that the cooperation with the committee on budgetary control in this year 's work considerably better than in previous years , this was the case . i also urge you to give you a list of countries which are published on a particularly bad management faintheartedness , to name and the areas in which we have done that . madam president , i too would like the court of auditors for the report and also for the political assessment of the court yesterday in the committee on budgetary control warmly . there were also once again to the efforts and its importance . there is one in , as mentioned by mrs van der laan - and we are in perfect agreement , which has been said . this could it be necessary , the powers of the president of the court of auditors to include , in order to make decisions on the working methods of the court of auditors and its ways and means of communication may take . the tax rates and their composition is different from one state to another . in its most important work on the common agricultural policy , the special report on the effects of the cap reform on the cereals sector , which was one of the court of auditors ' conclusions that the community budget from 1993 to 1997 , more than eur 13 billion more than has paid should have done . ' it is pointless to me to ask questions , which we cannot answer . the european court of auditors also needs to change its operation . it is fortunate , not to be involved in this procedure . this report is in the committee on the environment was adopted by a large majority of parliament , and i shall vote in the outcome of that committee defend . the second point concerns the export ban promised earlier in this way . i therefore have a very grave reservations , and would be happy to reject this provision . in a second or third reading , we need the famous 314 votes , and we will - as it now stands , will not get . the commission has made a timid , but very welcome step in that direction , and maybe the commissioner in his reply that in more detail . the rapporteur 's assertion that information to consumers in the risks and on transparency , especially in the area of health and safety is greater emphasis to emphasise that we are voting on . rather , we should take more account of the principle of subsidiarity . i remember , however , of a heated debate , which i and my daughter elisabetta has received at that time , as you have asked me to solely on the road to go . it was necessary to ensure that we ensure that consumer seamless without , however , several things or , possibly contradictory to be regulated . furthermore , i would like to highlight the importance of the environment committee adopted amendments which allow for the consumer will increase transparency and not just the responsibility of producers , it also recalls the distributor in which may be regarded as a dangerous products be defined more clearly . it also means that the relevant provisions of this directive will be abrogated if new sector-specific rules to be issued . many of the report , the proposed amendments are an improvement in the text and can therefore be approved by the commission . thirdly , amendment no 4 calls for a condition which should be integrated into the preamble , requiring the member states , in cooperation with the competent authorities and public or private independent institutions for producing well-founded reports be committed . although the commission is cooperation and the developing common principles supports this request is contrary to the wording of the subsidiarity principle . the commission has no indications of problems with the existing wording of , and the amendments would lead to a weakening of the rules . in amendments nos 39 and 44 propose that the public only on dangerous products be advised to ban the marketing or a withdrawal was arranged between the authorities , and which the market surveillance which make the exchange of information to be protected by the professional secrecy does not permit . mr martelli normally , you can only at the end of the speaking time , but let me give you the floor exceptionally short . report ( a5-0294 / 2000 ) by mrs eriksson , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the motion for a council decision [ com ( 2000 ) - 335 c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / b5-0143 ( cns ) ) on the programme of support for the community framework strategy on gender equality ( 2001-2005 ) mr president , my question relates to the order in the vote on the amendments relating to paragraph 10 , which deals with the armenian genocide . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) the responsibility of the countries of the union both the governments as well as the governments of the mediterranean partners . the aid is in the face of this tragedy , more than justified . the nachtarbeitsverbot for women was one of the few areas where the legislation of some countries because of the protective measures in favour of women for working women was a little more progressive than for workers . i very much hope the commission in future , timely and annual estimated that the european parliament , an opportunity to examine more closely and to debate . i regret , therefore , to have voted against it . it is important that our products are safe , however , we should not be allowed to extreme measures into taking sides . currently , the agency for kosovo , the management board chaired by one in which the representatives of the member states and the commission by one vote , and in which decisions are taken two-thirds majority . i believe that the algerien-problem for serbia is kosovo . the danish social democrats have voted against a report in which the introduction of subsidies for the pig within the eu supports it . it is even a certain amount of opening the french presidency aware that the commission rejects these proposals , and in the council seems to be no majority for its approval to this . already a minor change can cause a crisis situation of supply . mr president , the armenian genocide of the first was the genocide in a number of the twentieth century , that we as a century of continents describe it . since sweden it is willing to participate in between civil crisis management , but not in a common military defence , we could not support paragraph 15 in which the ' desire for turkey , improve the skills within the european security and defence policy contribute ' welcomes . however , in addition , the requirement of erinnerns , out of any demand democracy and the needs of europeans who know how difficult and painful it is , however difficult that some european countries have still not fully met - that there must be such acts of cruelty , where on ethnic , religious or cultural reasons lives destroyed and which pollute the universal conscience , never occur again . it is of course , a different matter , we are debating today , but because of the importance i attach to turkey , i would now like to draw attention to this point . peace is today in these countries is possible because the people no longer in exercising their right to self-determination is prevented . i have voted in favour of the amendments which , at the moment , this recognition would care to ensure that these persists and the pain of a people recognized . this happened at the time of the ottoman empire . the jové peres report would this not only for the existing regional organisations and organisations which are currently under construction zoological , but it would increase by raising the normal course of the commission to abolish the experts from different member states will be used to support . i shall refer to the matter of course , we are addressing today , namely the representation of the european community in the regional fishing organisations , but they include , for example , also in the negotiations in the world trade organisation . the composition of mine was proposed by the then minister , president-in-office , mr trittin and by the commission supported , so that parliament 's decision to link between the three directives , in any great resistance has received . to quote one example : pvc makes 0.7 % of the whole scorched waste from . finally , i would like to stress that the ppe-de group with the third reading in the course of the work they have been satisfied . mr president , i too would like mr blokland for the production of this important report thanks . incineration is not a recycling . now the third reading this report by mr blokland , many people thought before parliament at first elected members of the environment committee the acid test for the first to you the practices of parliament were able to learn . and mrs evans pointed out that stricter emission limit values for cement kilns are generating new waste , were set . whatever the circumstances in member states is , in all the countries of the european union almost a general reduction of compulsory insurance and the growing importance of so-called zusatzkrankenversicherungen and strengthening the factors which determine discriminatory . furthermore , should be drawn up a draft directive for the following points : first and foremost to ban the use of personal data from the genetic research ; not a requirement for a stricter , signed in introducing an obligation on lifelong insurance cover the insurers , better rules for refunds in favour of the people who move within the union or in another country 's work , and finally , the introduction of a vermittlungsmechanismus . whilst we are positive , it will take care to cross-border are market-economy principles to be applied to increasing the level of health care . for example , we very often used as an example for the free market economy ' , ' a health policy . it would be fatal mistake for us to take an example . for example , or imposing a health insurance for all citizens demanding renders the diversity of zusatzkrankenversicherungen threatens to be present in many countries are based on principles and the actuarial . finally , it became clear that there is a possibility , however , there was a quick treatment to receive . this is about the health of all the citizens of our member states and the cohesion of our territories . it is not by chance , i am faced with such issues is precisely why , because i come from the netherlands . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , mr rocard asks the commission to put in a green paper on the characteristics of a statutory basissicherung health insurances to define . that is a very serious problem . mr president , if we look like a lifetime to examine the social issues , which has concerned itself pointed out that the old textbooks the definition of social protection as a package of measures to protect the public to be used to be economically abschätzbarer cover risks , in an individual or the family and to such risks sought to an individual or a family - not even have been possible . this means that we must consider seriously , why the public health care has suffered a fiasco . the zusatzkrankenversicherung presupposes a legal system of claims and advance services . in seeking to abolish discrimination on the health of mr rocard , would the gans , the golden egg sets out slaughtered . the commission will act swiftly within its powers , and i will try to answer the conclusions of your report to give an answer . i also hope that the proposals are accepted , where the emphasis on training and the inclusion in working life is acknowledged . we must therefore be taken into account that despite the practice of paid employment the phenomenon of poverty and exclusion becoming increasingly strengthened . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we are also believes that the committee on economic and monetary affairs and the rapporteur on her presentation congratulate . the next item is the commission 's recommendations for an opinion of the council to update the stability programmes of germany , finland and the netherlands . this leads to another point , and we wonder if this stability and growth pact to achieve the objective of certain quantitative endziffer fatigued or whether further points in relation to the quality of public finances in the forthcoming programmes should be included . our main message is this so that the margin for the abgabenkürzungen by a strict control of public expenditure must be followed . i believe that , overall , we can draw a positive conclusion . you have mentioned that one of the largest and most important for the european economy countries - germany , there is the risk of overheating . mr president , thank you very much , mr della vedova . i am sure that they are our position on these two aspects , one of the current measures in the fight against bse in europe and to develop in france , want to hear . we propose that the european commission and our partners in the union , in this way the extension of testing at european level in accordance with scientific recommendations carry . efficiency , transparency and independence are therefore going to be the guiding principles which apply to evaluate the admittedly in europe will apply . i shall come back to later on this point . however , are such tests in far more necessary . active monitoring measures , including random , to be developed to ensure that bse in the food and feed comes . in a situation , as we are experiencing now , we have consistently sought after a magic formula for to keep to find a solution which , in one fell swoop and eliminate the risk to restore confidence . on monday , member states will ask whether they are afraid that the weaknesses in the implementation of checks in recent years , as an infringement of community legislation should be increased in the current bse play a role . both must be able to act quickly and at the same time remain serious . it is up to you , you quickly to provide . this is a particularly urgent demand , especially in relation to bse . our group is calling for the immediate ban on meat-and-bone meal for all animals for slaughter , unless the member states and the introduction of the laws on bse-vorbeugung strictly the implementation of the european directives do not guarantee . commissioner , i do not know whether this is a panacea , but , on behalf of the precautionary principle , i consider it necessary to immediately prohibiting the use of meal in the feeding of animals , but also for pigs and poultry , fish . the debate , which began in our house in order for scapegoats in the council , in the commission or parliament , to seek seems quite unnecessary . firstly , we must , as previous speakers have already said , all the systematic tests for carrying out the slaughtered cattle feed the europeans are intended . if we take courageous and ambitious action , we see the health of europeans and the economic interests of our producers reconcile and , in this way can we restore confidence . i would stress that these professions in no way for the crisis are responsible for that reason , the european union must show solidarity towards you . as i do not approve the arrogance of some member states which do not carry out tests and does not require legislation . the european solidarity must also be applied , because our policy is inconsistent , as has been identified : set-aside meat-and-bone meal for ruminants , nitrates and pesticides . then i must be listening to what mr gollnisch here in parliament says that his group the spearhead in dealing with bse was . we also think of all measures to alleviate seuchenherde and to impose the until the provision of current unbedenklichkeitsnachweises beef export ban to be appropriate . it is not acceptable that we should not do this priority also politically appropriate support . i am pleased that we are still on the extension of tests to talk about experimental basis . but if we make bse tests , if we introduce animal meal , to destroy the culling of a whole herd because of a single patient , then we must impose animal from third countries with which we trade in live animals , and the carcass meat in the community and want to export equally stringent health rules are concerned . the causes are quite different one . i applaud the fact that the commission is finally vehemently in favour of comprehensive testing , because france has just shown : who will be looking for the ! prevent us from doing so , what to do something about it ? because each time before a crisis to happen before we come here and give an assurance that we as parliament 's absolute priority over public health ? the link between the use of animal meal , incidentally - a very unnatural kind of feedingstuffs for animals - and bse is now clear to everyone . in this respect , i would ask the european commission for a certain degree of harmonisation . i urge the european commission to put a complete review of in france practised systems for dealing with bse to . as a result of poison reached in the system and , as it were destroyed this system . because it is difficult , certainly in this area , both national and european legislation to reconcile . in addition , there is legislation so as to how this meal as animal feed , this must be processed another security which was built into the system , in order to protect public health and food safety to be guaranteed . it has already been said that this will be very expensive , a great number of carcass should encompass and so on . examples of these stated : ' the kissentechnik ' , for the deaths of immigrants from belgium , spain , the use of strong tranquillizers schiffsladeräumen crammed into the transport of migrants in italy and spain , the tragedy of 58 chinese , the united kingdom , in the port of dover , were found dead , which had repeatedly on european soil were arrested and the general application of penalties and underwrote einschüchterungsmethoden kinds of immigrants . i give you vote for this commitment and for me , i am in favour of . the violence against women has many forms : the domestic violence , a crime in the dark , the various forms of sexual exploitation , or the trafficking in human beings . mr president , i would like to say that mr nogueira , as defined in the us model monetary policy in the course of the central bank , and it is up to the european central bank , in the criteria in the treaty is . mr president , i believe that the public , it is very important , between domestic and distinguish them from the outside effects , and i would be interested to know whether the commission is now very close to the physical introduction of the euro , to launch an initiative of the population of the difference between domestic and outside effects of monetary stability be explained ? as long as the greek side here not taking action , we will continue to pursue this procedure has already begun . we for our part to guarantee that there is a tangible and monitoring system . the same decision , the commission is obliged to support systems in all member states on the basis of specific criteria to review the apply until 2004 , because at this stage the approval of the french system expires . the aim of the integration of europe is supported in the words of the lisbon european council joint efforts , and action is required . secondly , by the experience of those involved in the field of the ngos , the local authorities , the social institutions and the exclusion of personally involved more fully into consideration . this would surely agree with many elderly people , but also those who have worked for poor reward for hours , which you will allow a decent life , such as agricultural labourers . it also concerns people with psychological disorders , as well as large groups , whose language skills are not sufficient to find a job . in the usa , with increased employment to be more flexible guarantees that poverty will be very short time will be experienced and also of unemployment is very short duration . in my country there are approximately 75 % of those who work , but live below the poverty line , and women . we must try to this important task for at least in part to play . these resources must be strengthened , does one and the events of realism in mind , who has shown in this area . mr president , i would like to thank and congratulate mrs figueiredo and express my thanks too to other members of parliament , who are not here and now the opinions of other committees have done . i would like to see the importance of non-governmental organisations and also of regional and local players highlighted and their local experience better taken into account . we have already been agreed that the committee on social protection regularly with the contact group of the european parliament should take . the next item is the report ( a5 ­ 0320 / 2000 ) by mrs rothe , on behalf of the committee on industry , on the motion for a european parliament and council directive on electricity from renewable energy sources in the internal electricity market [ com ( 2000 ) 279 - c5 ­ 0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0116 ( cod ) ] . we now need binding objectives . another important point , the committee has agreed , is the issue of the network and the grid for renewable energy sources . in my own country , spain , these guidelines were specifically responsible for that , from now until 2010 additional 225 million tonnes of co2 in the atmosphere and we would not meet the kyoto objectives to be . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the commission 's proposal to create a framework , it is to be possible through the medium term , the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the european union to be substantially increased , can only welcome . but of the compatibility with the internal market is still a danger posed . waste is not a renewable natural resource , despite the fact that more and more every day that is produced . this will make this directive at present an involuntary topical . nevertheless , i support this proposal of my heart . mr president , i would like to thank mrs rothe for her excellent report , of this week , the crisis in the battle of climate change is very timely one . the promotion of electricity from renewable sources of energy is very much to be supported . we need are fundamental technological changes . instead , we are always only proposals in the field of energy without any great respect presented . in conclusion , i would like to address just three problems which have arisen during this debate . however , for reasons of consistency in national parameters kind to be binding targets , because otherwise it will of the directive on the substance and content would lack . for the same reason , we support amendment no 3 in part , but not amendment no 7 , which is the text proposed to technically it . but we cannot accept , those parts of the application of the rules on state aids prejudice . the next item is the report ( a5-0308 / 2000 ) by mrs theorin , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the participation of women in the peaceful resolution of conflicts [ 2000 / 2025 ( ini ) ] . during the official processes almost exclusively men will be dominated by international experience and declarations , show how important the participation of women in the search for peace and conflict settlement is . decisions on implementation and implementation of which are the responsibility of krisenstäbe , and this is also the expertise and too little attention and recognition of women . obviously they want their position in the area of foreign and defence policy to be able to preserve the interests of women in their view perfectly from men are represented . mr president , i would like to start by thanking my interest in this report to express my opinion , the excellent , and indeed is excellent . it must also be available financial resources that will allow us to give women to help the victims of this situation has become . mr president , i shall , of what has already been set out in detail , which is not repeated . i would firstly like to congratulate mrs theorin , that the initiative to this excellent report she has taken to deal with an important issue , but also topical issue . it is about how effective participation of women in the negotiations for the settlement of konfliken change the world and the dominant culture , we and the violence by a culture of peace , dialogue and the democratic settlement of disputes can replace . i therefore support the demands of the report , which states that women should be given a right to diplomatic influence . a very good report , which other incoming stubborn , the basic principles with a clear points out that it has carried out in article 17 bold , but also with a very practical reason and very necessary proposals . personally , i condemn any rape and slavery ! my fifth point concerns the role of echo , the office of the european community humanitarian aid , which is urging - and this parliament has endorsed this challenge , which also pay tribute to the gender dimension . the problem is that millions of people , women in particular , these activities to exercise that is a very large demand , but then there is no legislation exists in this respect . in my opinion it within the framework of the employment guidelines in the opinion of the european parliament on these guidelines have been tabled calling for the member states to regulate this sector makes possible . the immigrants are usually a large group in this area , which requires special measures , such as the specialist centres , the necessary aid . it is a question of the task of the member states . the needs are so many times in recent years there has been increased , but little in the general working life and the related rights and obligations into account . ( the sitting was closed at 12 midnight ) ( very loud applause ) we must not only the internal system of freedom and peace building , but also with the rules and practices that are compatible in the european community and in the european union to apply for decades . our first step in trying to the federal constitutional state nihilo , is to establish a framework for the broad democratic dialogue on the nature of relations between the two republics . they are the representatives of the european parliament , directly to the citizens of its member states , represented by the european citizens can understand why the most direct way of accession to europe for us to present the citizens of the federal republic of yugoslavia , seems extremely uncertain . we take the sitting back on . finally , this is one of its people , for good and very important issue , and it would be useful for us in the course of the day could lead to a conclusion . thereupon the commission announced that they will then with within the next six months a concrete proposal put forward , and it has delivered . in the european union documents are already widely available in practice , and it is worth remembering that courageous citizens and progressive many member states have for many years have been fighting for more transparency . this report also calls for further processing in parliament , and in this regard , i believe that this is also here today , to achieve improvements on it . we are pleased that the report once again the crucial principle , we too , the committee on budgetary control with vehemence represented . now that it will also have the opportunity to look into what happened to take , for which the media and interest groups , and it is not particularly interested in the open and democratic debate on the part of confidence in the eu is so important . the committee on petitions would have liked to have shorter waiting until the launching of a document seen . as soon as they no longer be necessary , of course , these documents are to be made available . i would also like to stress that all citizens have access to documents in so many forms as possible must be guaranteed . the dogma of the political responsibility of the rights of the citizen must not be confused with openness . i therefore call upon the rapporteur , any reference to the rights of members from the regulation which , with the subject of public access to documents is to be removed , and i ask all honourable members to be very closely to ensure that their interests cannot be played off against the interests of the public . in these areas is not guaranteed access to documents and not only will the citizens of europe , but also to the european parliament have been denied , but not yet formally notified to fundamental documents will be consulted . but there remains a great bitterness . mr president , i should like first to mr cashman for a quite excellent report . this is an extremely important report , which represents a significant part of what we might call the new openness of the eu . ( technical disturbance ) it is not just about the principle of unrestricted access to all documents , but also of course is that we will finally to open the doors in council meetings , so that the council in future no longer in the style of metternich in secret lonely choices and will then be cheap brussels-bashing could conduct . secondly , i should like to refer to the question of exceptions . the people of europe as regards the undemocratic , as a place where decisions are taken behind closed doors . according to article 255 of the treaty , the proposed regulation before 1 may 2001 , which means that two years after the treaty of amsterdam came into being adopted . you will allow me , that i now turn to some issues raised in the event of an advocacy of certain amendments by the commission 's response to this . as i said , we can in some cases , the amendments accepted in principle , but we must respect the technical and administrative working together to give you an example , on the amendments to the classification of documents and of registration . we have no written into the hands of , and i would also like to propose that the commission 's future members of your recommendations provided in writing . welcome we welcome the improved status for the reduction of credit , particularly the guarantees which the smaller companies can be made . report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) by mr blokland , on the conciliation committee 's proposal for a european parliament and council directive on waste incineration ( c5-0371 / 2000 - 1998 / 0289 ( cod ) ] mr president , i would like the liberal group , too , as co-rapporteur , to challenge the exercise is a little more practical approach . but it is the joint request , both from the group of the european people 's party and european democrats ( ppe-de ) , by the socialist group ( pse ) , the vote be postponed until the second november . i therefore propose that the report to the vote on mrs villiers . the second november-sitzungsperiode should be postponed . i have kept the order in which i have received from the services , and the plenary has decided nothing else . that is what i tell you today as vice-president turnusmäßiger can say , as your colleague , however , i agree with you on that . apart from rejecting them in the first stage , as the european parliament to urge the dangers of britain pointed out , these measures were in the second phase , as the ensuing scandal in britain , largely confined to that country , without having a programme to implement strict controls and the restructuring of livestock farming at european level would have been started . we therefore want to four main lessons to be taken into account in future should . we have voted in favour of this joint resolution . the increase in cases of new variant cjd in england and the situation in france , the subject of ' mad cow disease ' ( bse ) come back on track , this time with even greater vehemence . fear of panikmacherei amongst the population or in an attempt to prevent a handelskatastrophe , some governments do not take the necessary information in good time to the commission sent to the first appeared , or dangerous phenomena not immediately stop the use of the products concerned and their export prevent that . the farmers alone cannot achieve nothing with this crisis is needed is a plan to support livestock farming and measures to restore the confidence of consumers . the inability of the european institutions in their entirety as the council , the commission , parliament ) , a proper policy to lay down the security of the most directly affected countries in order to accommodate the problems between the constraints of the internal market and the health of our population sicherheitserfordernissen rise . after many discussions with the council , we were able to impose on several points . the movement in landfill sites will soon be consigned to the past and must be replaced by more environmentally friendly methods . the social agencies and particularly the representatives of the disadvantaged groups , to which the programme , advocating the procedures involved ; we are so concerned about the renewed growth and the reduction of unemployment are very pleased that we must not , however , close our eyes to the inequalities remain or become even worse . i believe that the rapporteur rightly calls for greater involvement of the public authorities , the social partners and civil society in the current measures to combat poverty and social exclusion . the ' poor workers ' , mostly women , which was to part-time and extremely precarious jobs dumpinglöhnen to be employed , a train in the ranks of misery , in the official speeches available so ignored . three years ago , the prime minister wrote the department of social exclusion , whose task for the coordination of social exclusion governs the reduction of working out a comprehensive global solutions to problems is . these are now plants with over sixty thousand fußballfelder rotoren , to take up . without the development of renewable energy sources of energy dependency would the eu currently approximately 50 % by the year 2020 to 70 % increase . it goes without saying that it is , in the use of nuclear storage of radioactive waste and the most advanced and effective security provisions must be respected . we must therefore be looking for energy , which already exists , by its nature , but as long as no one has remained unused advanced technology , they use to us . during the preparation of asem 4 , a democratic requirement to renew the one hand , by providing information and the participation of elected representatives and civil society , especially in the form of a social forum will guarantee - and , secondly , the social rights and the environment and human rights are respected . recently , this parliament has had a few times against standards statements and even criticism against fight back . we have witnessed the fact that the parlacen , with the same resisted had to be done in this parliament in its infancy . consequently , we had to fight parlacen , and this is continuing to secure greater powers , more resources to a greater presence and the claims of representativeness . the parliament of central , just as the european parliament to gain legitimacy and credibility of the prestige , by its activity based upon the political groups , because that is the parteileben faithful reflection of which you have represented within society , or at least there should be the case . we support the sphere of human rights since 1990 , the cooperation programmes to respect human rights , when we talk about this issue and the people to raise awareness . ­ b5-0855 / 2000 by van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group ; the extreme confusion which surrounding the election in recent weeks in côte d ' ivoire , as far as economic ' model country ' priorities , there is symptomatic of the country where an economic crisis , social and political chaos in desperation as a result . the military , political and religious leaders must do everything possible to , a national reconciliation . it is particularly the debate on this very ivorität put an end to every and côte d ' ivoire ivorität with regard to be removed from the constitution , which simply means than the creation of national preference , which we in our own countries and their combat ethnic cleansing is ultimately the logical consequence . it also has the grundgesetzänderung supported the intention , its greatest enemy ouattara because of the fact that his two parents are not ivorer to eliminate . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , although the ivory coast in comparison with other countries in western and central africa in the past was a haven of stability and democracy , there is still a long time , ethnic and religious tension , there was , in fact , abuse of power by the previous government under president bedié and it has finally to violent by the military coup in existence . we condemn the ethnic violence , and particularly the political leaders , which was the trigger demagogy . the next item is the joint debate on the following motions for resolutions : the eu in the forthcoming december in laos offers us a vital opportunity , in the strongest possible terms to condemn this regime . moreover , i have no confidence in our own ministers , that these issues there to bring up . the asean has been identified as a paper tiger in every respect , because it failed to point to the terrible events in burma to react . the junta announced that you intend to dismantle the party as a whole . there is a historical burden and , of course , the situation is difficult . these tentative improvements in recent years , and are certainly not the author of the amendments tabled by the socialist group , mr sakellariou , thanks to all - led to a situation which will be no more tragic , but still disastrous and certainly not equal to the current tasks vietnam is . mr swoboda , that the european parliament is flexible efficiently . nevertheless , it would be appropriate if the american president in hanoi , not just concentrate on the strengthening of cooperation , but these specific commitments in vietnam , the appalling human rights situation in every country in significant improvements to be conditional on this . i would ask the council and the commission to vigorously condemn these gross violations of religious freedom by the vietnamese authorities to protest . the process has also , for signing the cooperation agreement between the commission and in 1995 in vietnam . these are of course share , which were , in this resolution , which we have tabled . i too feel that we must do everything we can to help them . they would be most useful , but if we change in the situation would be something which you and many other people in the world in this crisis has brought . there is currently being discussed the medium and long-term solutions . mr president , commissioner , the floods which have in recent weeks , together with other european countries like spain , ireland and britain , france , which hit various areas which have been put before parliament once again the problem of exceptional emergency measure and to the plight of the people affected , local authorities and companies to alleviate , as well as a longer-term policy to a repetition of such an extent preventing natural disasters . it is precisely the transport sector is being given his predictable steady growth - over 38 % over the next decade , measures of greater scope to require . the debate is closed . that is perhaps one of the nature of this parliament , but it seems to me to be extremely difficult to give the impression that the european parliament with such a low attendance obligations into a kind of issue and which the european commission that is something this transferred . ( parliament rejected the request to postpone the vote ) the economic and social policy in the eu , the purchasing power and the ability of workers , who has contributed to pay less pronounced , and the appearance of new diseases and the unaccountability of drug companies have the costs involved in health felt prompted up . in this way , the private insurers busying opened , provided they are voting for patients and the insurance premiums ( initially ) , not from diseases . who is not much money is given , and that is not spend more on . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am particularly pleased that my presence here today in a group from my own constituency fine talk , which i warmly welcome . but this means that the institutions will be given sufficient time to prepare itself to the new rules . in the report mentions the fact that there is growing consensus that the current rules are not able to claim that the developments of the financial sector in the past ten years into account . we say yes to greater account of the risikomindernden techniques , and we also say yes to enlargement of the concept of the basle committee . with the same satisfaction , take the important contribution to this report to the process note . finally , and this is the crucial point , we are quite aware that the institutional balance laid down in the treaty , we must respect . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . mr president , may i conclude that i perceive the opportunity to deal with the ombudsman , mr jacob söderman , on his work in combating maladministration in the administration and therefore also in the quest for a greater proximity of the work of the community institutions to be congratulated . mr president , the european parliament has fortunately entirely in line with the scandinavian beamtentradition always fought for it to the position of the ombudsman to strengthen and consolidate . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . lastly , access to documents is a fundamental rights , and for an applicant country is not a document more important than the papers . we think it is legitimate for an applicant for access to its own corrections observing receives because access to documents is a fundamental right , moreover , the charter of fundamental rights is recognised , through this week we voted on . this is the way it should also be the . all other bodies and institutions should follow this example , as is the committee on petitions has recommended . the citizens of the european union must be in contact with the community 's institutions for a good impression . and the new means in this case , the best practices and all the same way as to avoid what our experience in the union 's credibility in the member states themselves can bring into disrepute . what other institutions is concerned , it depends on the application of the report , in order to meet the ombudsman 's raised by your own hands . the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . if you as a result of an unavoidable disaster prevented it , democracy is disrupted , but if you have no wish to come , then they deserve the support it . in the light of stricter criteria based on banking supervision must be true , but also other aspects , particularly the solvabilitätskoeffizient to take into account the rights of the other contracting parties is a gewichtungsparameter , and the associated with the assets of banking kreditrisiko approximiert . the creation of the european police academy provisional cepol ( ) these police cooperation plays a crucial role to the great goal to achieve a high safety level for european citizens within the european area of freedom , security and justice for that matter . the enlargement of the european union , which would extend the territory of the free movement of persons brings with it , must provide special measures for safety and the peaceful coexistence be accompanied by the member states . as i see that the conditions are , in french and portuguese prisons completely different . this means that if you want common standards , they will have to define in advance because otherwise they have a completely different training , which can be achieved . thanks to the work of mr posselt is now at last , provided that the training of polizeipersonals even in the field of human rights and defence policy must be carried out , just as important and appropriate , nowadays , the recommendation of the opportunities offered by the internet which uses virtual police academy of employment . but we are here in strasbourg in an almost deserted chamber and we must listen with utterly incredible . it is a good idea , and in the european union , where people enjoy free movement , where there is free trade and the right of residence , where people from scotland to sicily travel or greece , it is only logical that if the development of a common system of maintaining the public expects . in the netherlands , the police to de-escalation of conflicts and repression on training for tolerance , with existing subkulturen , ethnic minorities , the use of churches as zufluchtsstätten for people with no legal residence status and political protestveranstaltungen than the normal social phenomena will apply . anyone who believes this to the good solutions to occur , it should not be afraid to you on the solutions to measure the other . i hope that the academy here a starting point for the future will supply . this is a good example of what we now call the harm europe , is a europe of nations in direct contact with each other , we will bring without creating unnecessary beamtenapparate . the majority of cases of child abduction are currently very efficiently and in an appropriate way by the central authorities in each member state has been clarified . it is therefore vital that this gap on grounds of gender equality and the realism in the face of a social development and the same rights and obligations for all citizens of the european union must be closed . meanwhile we welcome this measure , and will give it wholeheartedly agree with them . we feel sympathy for the objective set and vote on the measures proposed . this is a day , it is clear to people who are often travel around the world , in order to see a child . this view of the commission is also due to the european parliament 's opinions on this issue , and by the case-law of the court of justice confirmed the european communities . i know that the fifa has already playing for time and time to wait until you are already on the 1998 the commission published formal declaration responded at all . it is obvious that the union , the wada in future by the commissioner responsible for issues of sport will be represented . decision by the united kingdom for the collection of decommissioning of non-british hauliers ireland is undoubtedly a very small , but open market , but most of what we buy , comes from great britain . in conclusion , it is for this debate in the european parliament is too soon , however , i welcome the fact that the statement by commissioner vitorino , clear right from the uk government 's suggests , to introduce a system of euro-vignette which , if this in line with the already existing rules and regulations prescribe . mr president , of course mauttarife levies and sensitive , and i can confirm that in austria , where we continually have this discussion , and which of course , always a good solutions to problems is sought . this will be of no other or lorry drivers in europe in favour of the british drivers discriminated against . it will pay more for some of his vignette , unless it is a certain reduction in a per-diem-basis granted . on 22 november , that is precisely the 25th anniversary of the crowning glory of king juan carlos , spain has opened the way of democracy , which was one of the representatives of his faith in democracy , freedom and tolerance of respect for others to pay for its part , with their lives . i would therefore ask you to all your requests to speak on this matter very carefully to keep in mind . the european union 's negotiating position focussed on the security of the environmental objectives of the kyoto protocol in the fields of landnutzungsänderung and forestry , to the issue of the ' sinks ' , the relationship between the kyoto protocol mechanism and national measures , also known as ' ergänzungsgrundsatz ' , and the system of night . in preparing the next meeting of the eu should not be discussing again all issues but will concentrate on the priorities , namely to reduce the ' , ' the mechanisms for the ' and ' ergänzungsgrundsatz erfüllungskontrollen rigour . mr prescott is now under the wasseroberfläche disappeared , and we do not know how long it will still in force . finally , i think it is true that it is the question of reducing hard remained , primarily because it is extremely difficult to reduce the precisely to measure . for the nuclear power , there is no prospect of a comeback . it is necessary , however , further steps . at the meeting in bonn in may 2001 proportionality , should be established . at the next conference in bonn in may 2001 should still be found on a compromise . the task ahead of us in the face of climate change , which is certainly one of your twenty-first century , when we all want to have a future world in which we live . the same applies to the part of the use of additional aufforstungsprojekten co2-senken , as well . the hague conference , like you , commissioner , as we have announced , next spring in bonn continue . madam president , thank you , commissioner wallström , for their comments . if there is a matter which have not insisted on the ground , so that was for the relationship between the european parliament delegation and the commission . it is beyond question , at the forthcoming cop 6 no agreement is reached . we were very constructive and have until the last minute hague negotiated this conference . you have the floor , mr president-in-office of the council . with the coordination of social security systems of taxation policy on asylum , immigration and visa , the trade in the area of services , a very important subject to certain countries still have serious problems . i should like to add to that of seats in the european parliament has been no agreement has been reached . achieving an agreement which the union to act according to the new accessions safeguards that are now actively preparing them is a significant challenge for the future of the union and the enlarged union . your president is , of course invited . they will be presented in nice and , of course , we hope - will be adopted . as you can see , there are very much to be discussed at nice . in a union of 27 or more member states will this requirement , quite simply lead to any progress in areas in which we will stick to this principle to be avoided . you have spoken of the codecision procedure of the european parliament . ( applause ) this task is to reunite our old continent . there is the task of enlargement , as it has not been made , and this must prepare ourselves at nice . madam president , the primary objective of the nice summit , the enlargement of the european union and the preparation of this enlargement . madam president , mr president-in-office , mr commissioner , i think , thus far , the 15 governments have proved to be proud of . this is not the right method . now , it has been proposed in the 49 areas with a qualified majority voting . the majority remain outside parliamentary democracies in the member states the right of veto , but the eu itself will not become a parliamentary democracy . europe needs leadership , which needs clarity , it will take decisions , vigour needs . the attempt of blackmail , with the announcement seem to be given the conclusions of the european council in biarritz unacceptable , even though it was an informal basis . we do indeed believe that the conclusions of nice is displaying a passage in which the commission to draw up a framework directive for this area . i will respond to the treaty of nice , if i am familiar with the result , but i believe that the debate here as somewhat schizophrenic . in amsterdam , the heads of state and government have not been allowed to carry out this class and must now once again to stay in nice . if the difference between large and small in the council too , we shall have a few years in a major crisis within the european union are concerned , because the small , then no longer feel at home , because they are afraid that no longer be able to defend their identity . the president and the prime minister of france , it is clearly a priority for its own political future and less to the future of europe . the text is not included in the treaties , receiving only a political signature , then we can have a considerable legal interpretation arisen . furthermore , i would like to emphasise how important it is our union , with strong institutions , not to the institutional vacuum , with the result of the euro speeding up the economic level has occurred , balance . the stated aims of this reform are effective education , for an enlarged europe better gerüsteter institutions and also the reduction of unquestionable existing democratic deficit . but it is also about the restructuring of the committee 133 itself to a much more democratic control must be subject to its agenda and conclusions must be accessible and the more wide-ranging and comprehensive composition distinguish it . mr president , i am not only for the president-in-office , but also to all the governments of member states , as i pointed out , that we will continue to pursue these difficult issues to be nice if no agreement is reached in this respect . the smooth implementation of the codecision procedure in the past few years has shown that it works . the first step should therefore be to commercial decisions already with a qualified majority to take . as a seven-year-old girl was forced to you before he the red army to flee from their own country , and as a refugee before the attack by soviet warplanes in ditches to hide . as mr méndez de vigo just now , has quite rightly referred to the charter of fundamental rights . can we do not expect more from him . the agreement reached by the day , the more likely , is certainly does not mean the lowest common denominator but , unfortunately , only a small one , but rather a small common denominator . mr president , i should first like to thank the members of this debate , because i consider to be extremely niveauvoll . ' it was therefore no question of the charter does not to say that it is not a problem of transparency . because the principle of equal rotation also concerns the large countries , like all other at some point commissioner should have no more . i believe that parliament will have noticed that the union has been improved institutional mechanisms which will enable it to be the further development of the european union , which unites us all , to resolve them . the vote will take place tomorrow . mr president , i would like to concur with the statement by mr van orden report . i am clearly opposed to a minister is being threatened eingeladener - and this also applies to the turkish foreign minister . there is no doubt that we here in this house , the european democracy , the safety of all our guests and each one , with the us is to ensure that . under the slogan ' no ' pills damage and with the expression ' we are mainly with the tumours marijuana ' , the italian minister for health human dignity undermined by calling for the liberalisation of drugs . this is a very poor coordination , not to mention an insult to parliament - unless one is that the meps had nothing to say on the human rights , although it recently , the charter of fundamental rights by a large majority , that you have adopted in this forum of the european union cannot participate in which they last year , they have had to deal with the ngos and the institutions to debate . we now have enough discussed this . now it has been undertaken in the opinion of the european parliament and the commission that we prefer a vice-president responsible for foreign policy of the commission should have the same time , the role of the high representative and by a special obligation connected with the council should take . so , as the european parliament before the feira european council adopted a resolution on 15 june , tomorrow it will also adopt a text which has its position before the nice council together . the development of the esdp is an important new projects to european integration , it is therefore important that the present institutional framework to be revised . the european council in nice will confirm several decisions , which i would like to mention here . for the first debate at the beginning of the commission is following a well-drafted statusbilanz countries for the past year to prepare for the state of the commitments and payments , which still has to be permitted amounts for the most important from the community budget and edf programmes financed by the people . we have also deals with the question of regional cooperation , a concept which toned down the countries in this region has received some resistance , since it is not by again be included in the past to which they had ended , but i believe to be able to say that you at the council have grasped that there is no contradiction between regional cooperation and its further development of its accession to the european union , especially on the occasion and confirmed forward stabilisation and association agreement . previously , under the portuguese presidency a summit with india has been made , and a ministerial meeting with the asean will still take place . this does not mean of course , that we shall be discouraged . i would like to recall the range of tasks : humanitarian aid , evacuation of third-country nationals , conflict prevention , but also the separation of military belligerent parties . it is of course the autonomy of the european union and the recognition of the voluntary commitments from the political nature . he has as personalises conflict management more than any other part of the world of work , which i know very well , and has gained worldwide recognition for his efforts . i think the media reports in my own country of the establishment of these troops very strange . i thank mrs lalumière for her reference to the report to the conflict to thank the commission , together with the high representative for the european council in nice prepared . thank you , commissioner patten . in my view , the european union will be reviewed in order actually made . citizens ungeduldige complain about the fact that the mills grind exceeding slow infinitely of european bureaucracy . however , the citizens must as far as possible access to information and documents received . from the present proposals will not at all clear what this task should be . with a european flag , at the car is everywhere in the refugee camps entlegendste itself out . for these reasons , in my opinion , europe must now decide to act on them . if we do not create as europeans , in a responsible role in resolving this conflict , regardless of the united states to accept , we must expect to get on other conflict as an intermediary pays no confidence . only to her personal commitment cannot replace the democratic legitimacy of the european security and defence policy . some details of the report by mrs lalumière , i cannot accept . in the final vote i shall be voting for the rejection of the report . the neglect of this broad instruments of the civil conflict prevention will be a mistake in the long term , and there are sufficient to the council statements made the point that we have taken decisions , but it will be somewhere in direction . as you will understand that we shall vote against these two reports and commit ourselves to everything that is within our power , against the policies that ... thirdly , a kernwaffenfreier corridor , as it once exasperating who suggested that olaf is of the baltic sea to build up to the black sea . mrs lalumière , i would like to congratulate her on this report . in mr brok 's report also mentions the office of the high representative for common foreign and security policy raised . it is unfortunate , i would appeal to my colleague mr van orden and others on to my colleagues , because behind the ' small teich ' , the irish sea have , in this area so much to offer : the tradition of expertise and experience . in our opinion , the european parliament in cooperation with the national parliaments in favour of the most suitable body . i believe that our experience from these recent developments in the future will be very good stead will come when we deal with the need for a european defence policy and defence capacity building , which i think that is an important part of european integration as the single currency is . i share the view that the combination of these different means of a specific situation , a specific way the european union and that is our task , if this policy has shown and consolidates the must consist of a genuine european culture of conflict prevention and management , to develop . rather , i believe that , in a positive dialogue will develop . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , ladies and gentlemen , the resignation of the commission in march 1999 has demonstrated the need for reform is working methods and structures . the reform can be produced from the top , but must be understandable and trade unions , and all staff , and this should be explained in the whole process be recovered . this definition will take time , but it is absolutely essential and very much for the reform process . the reform of the commission is an essential prerequisite for the future of our institutions . in drafting my report i was unable to study the white paper , but also to the second report of the committee of independent experts michiel van hulten 's and the proposed resolution on the work of the experts , on 19 january of this parliament has been adopted . the court of auditors in its report points out that it is the abolition of ex-ante-sichtvermerks not opposed to this end will be replaced by other procedures , the very least provide guarantees equal and the other agencies such as the by involving them . communities everywhere is increasing openness of large companies to observe that they will be more transparent , you are the development of innovative , distancing itself from old vertical organisation by providing information exchange between themselves and for businesses . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , despite its scope of the white paper presented by commissioner kinnock raises no proper institutional questions . we have , furthermore , this afternoon in the framework of the debate on the common foreign policy debates . finally , the delicate question of the proposal for an early retirement scheme to be taken . the transfer of financial control of the directorates-general is an important step forward , and it will only work if the staff to be trained , sufficient funds available and the competence of linienmanager accordingly be enhanced . the institutions and their head must be clear on the best ways of achieving the administration have . disciplinary procedures - also involves promises , but not yet clear rules out any clear messages , such as these rules are to be implemented , and also the issue of external has not yet settled finally . such a change is necessary to truly serve that god , and cannot be forced by rules . and , as always , when it comes to change the conditions established , we are also clearly duty of care for . 6 - and a separate vote on the last part of amendment no 15 request because we do not believe that the current system in the ecb will lead to this situation by itself . as i previously belonged to the parliament says that the commission president jacques delors , and this was working hand in hand with mr brittan and previously by lord cockfield . mr president , commissioner , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , we are following with this reform is justified expectations . problems such as oil prices and mad cow crisis , the greenhouse effect have quite a european dimension . the people must also have the feeling that the commission really is transparent and accessible . the reform of the european parliament is an important matter to which it in the budgetary authority and legislative body plays a decisive influence . with regard to their acts of stupidity within and outside the institution of the officials employed , will also provide a clear procedure set out in the various channels can be used . therefore , i am sure that we will have the pleasure to listen to them in future . in short , let me say to mr garriga polledo categories of the financial perspectives which still remain . the reform of the staff of the commission needs to be taken up , and it must therefore acceptance . in our view , the cosmetic reform in this time profound change makes no sense . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , first i would like the quality of the own-initiative report by mrs sauquillo on reforming the commission and its impact on the european union 's relations with the developing countries to highlight . we are looking for more accountability to . before we talk of aid should try to remove the causes of all existing profiteering and those who benefit from the exploitation and exploiting the distress suffering population groups have drawn up to identify and to account . however , because mr nielson 's collective responsibility so seriously , it is the proposal heue evening certainly defend . worse still is , in our opinion that the commission proposal retention territorial division . for the year 2001 , for example , the transfer of responsibility to 22 delegations , the modernization of information with fifteen delegations and the creation of 40 additional posts in the external service provision . but the erika , as well as to the ievoli sun were not french vessels . it is disastrous , since the erika disaster , eleven months ago , on the agenda of the commission 's top . we hope and expect that the transport council on 21 december its share of the common determination of the european institutions will contribute to the adoption of common positions on all three legal texts , improving the safety at sea change . i think that the opportunities for it is good , but we must have the certainty that this agreement will also be implemented . i understand and appreciate the efforts of the minister , even in these two reports as quickly as possible to come to a conclusion . consequently , i think that its proposal , the question , if possible , in december to tackle , in principle to be welcomed . as a result of all this , we have a parliamentary report on amending the directive , which produced improvements in some respects be proposed which is to strengthen the klassifikationssystems as an important instrument for guaranteeing the safety of shipping down . however , remain the legacies of the many years of materials were simply kara sea . they are sometimes fore once again in our homes and looking very often , with disastrous consequences . in this context , the publication of information is a key factor for the potential of the general public access to information , emergency numbers and so on . i have great hopes in the second series of proposals and the creation of a european maritime safety agency . i think that its consideration of worthy , but we can only on the results of negotiations , the council was examined . we know that the port state control in the past was not a crackdown sword of maritime safety , we know that not all their classification societies control than schiff-tüv correct and sensible , but rather sloppy have done , and we know that double hulls tanker schwimmende time without risk . we are building on the one hand , a new credibility on this , and we should not be wrong action by the commission at the same away . anyone who does not respond to this responsibility , in our waters and in our ports simply nothing to do with . the watts report provides for tougher measures against vessels , which constitute a serious risk of convenience or travel without , however , these flags out . nevertheless , i am pleased that the commission 's proposals are the main demands of the french members of the coastal regions have taken up , so the ban on single-hull oil tankers , the strengthening of checks in ports and evaluate the classification societies . equally i agree with his suggestions for compulsory tachograph to . as has already been said here , were required to guarantee the safety at sea important measures in relation to the people responsible companies and the visit . in short , measures which are the desired level of safety to be set up , is weak . everyone is talking about , as i think it is quite right that the present for this necessary landing 25 % -zielvorgabe yet to be achieved . at the time to reach compromises , which is also difficult to implement is over . i would like to take this opportunity to classification , and that is my duty to emphasise once again : the main focus of the current debate on the liability seems to lie . with regard to the port state control , the rules must be reinforced and the monitoring will be increased . the lax in respect of large companies is a sign that they are powerful as the elected institutions . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , during a debate on the safety of ships and ensure the safety of people and the environment has been a subject which is undoubtedly an extremely important issue . the reports presented is moving in that direction . we are in agreement with regard to set a minimum of personenschäden or deaths and damage , with the member states left , these amounts increase . the introduction of new technologies , constructive and improvements to the ships are part of this important work . we need to reach a consensus on the highest possible safety standards regulatory and reach . i am pleased to say that the commission , in many of these three reports will support the proposed amendments . the commission can accept amendments nos 6 , 7 and 8 , which can , however , with only partially accept amendment no 1 . it is to be expected that the imo 's ausmusterungsplan at their meeting in april of next year formally approve . the commission 's task is to take to ensure that the classification society continues to fulfil the criteria laid down in directive , and the capacity to monitor the classification societies . the commission noted with gratitude towards the support of their restriction originally proposed . this shows once again how urgent it is better to make preventive and stärkender measures at community level for the protection of our seas is . mr turco , i have understood your message and i shall take this into consideration . on the other two reports , the report on the organisations and societies , and the report on port state control , which are the opinions differ . in the majority of parliament is asking for a phased out . madam president , i would like to make the proposal to amend the amendment , so that he will begin with the words ' urges that in this respect , the council and the commission . report ( a5-0329 / 2000 ) by mr pomés ruiz , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control on the white paper on reform of the commission - competences of the committee on budgetary control ( com ( 2000 ) - 0200 c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / 2215 ( cos ) ] mckenna report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) the privatisation of classification societies which have moved into the hands of the shipping , and the lack of effective control of schiffsinspektion by public authorities and the tacit consent between these authorities allow capital is still operating bounds . i am therefore pleased that the rapporteur , mr watts vachetta piétrasanta and have tried to the commission 's proposal , and to close gaps . for the implementation of these measures are therefore of the member states are responsible . tankers should no longer here can accommodate , if you look elsewhere in the year 2005 , 2010 or have disappeared by 2015 . with the proposals made by mr hatzidakis , however , those of the commission will be restricted . the promotion of a stricter system at international level must be a fundamental objective of our policy on safety at sea in . it is particularly important to make it clear that the polluter pays principle must apply in full . this must be much like the community intervention by the imo will need to be equipped with the implementation of real polizeibefugnissen ism-codes , an effective instrument to follow the example of europol would . as long as the cost of breaches of legislation under which they are complied with for companies which are to be maximalgewinne endeavour to keep the wrong choice . the preparation of the council in nice , instead of human rights and the social charter , makes it easier to bring forward measures relating to the reduction of their levels are targeted . i do not find this idea , but , unfortunately , the motions for resolutions . while i was there , how many times , regrets the fact that the prime minister , mr jospin , while half of this year because of the ' cohabitation ' so often expressed , but i know that he constantly his ministers gave strong impetus , and i must stress this point . the social area , the proposals and to give very careful not to mention the commitments adopted at the lisbon summit substance . this concerns in particular the need to strengthen the economic and social cohesion . in this respect , we need to develop the eu 's decision not to take the risk of distance from the citizens of europe brings with it . the british people like that , with the reform of the eu to a greater duty is given that they will become more efficient . the text adopted in the future ( ever more distant rückende ) as a pretext for enlargement to the strengthening of a system to demand that already in the last trains lies . now there is no longer only dispute between ' significant ' and ' small ' , but the big business to compete with each other . we welcome and support the report , which many important tendencies in the development of the common foreign and security affects . how does this ritual annual report of the european parliament , which is essentially the balance sheet of the cfsp is devoted to the de facto well-known method to gradually gaining ground to gain by a breach of the federalist in a specific area has been beaten , constantly is extended , regardless of the treaties and of the meetings of the european council decisions . during our discussion of it , that a rapid reaction force of the states of the european union is being established in order to achieve peace in europe and in order to obtain . nor is it the task of the european parliament , the capacity of a european rapid reaction force or set to judge whether people in this connection , for example in the area of sea and interventionskapazitäten air-lift should have . the conflicts in the future , not by military intervention , but only by a policy aimed at the social , economic and ecological justice will be resolved . we are totally opposed to this european army , as well as against the nato and our own national army . for example , the report on draconian wording concerning the cfsp and nato , on the use of military threat ' with ' as leverage in conflict prevention , which directly contrary to the un charter . ten years after the revolution in the east , we take the view that ' the european peace project ' the applicant countries with an unedifying signal to these reports . just six of these paragraphs contain statements , which are included on the subject . unfortunately , there is the clear intention to set up national abtreibungsgesetze null and glaubenstraditionen , who are opposed to the benefit of abortion penalise or even to repress . it would certainly be many tens of thousands of women involved in the european union that we are pleased with the legislation of the domestic work involved in the black economy , because if it were . mrs smet , for example , the introduction of a european definition for haushaltsdienstleistungen before . in the drafting of the needs of labour legislation are to take account of budgetary support . they have their income tax to the various national governments , such as quickly as the eloquent taschenspieler would disappear . finally , like the union for a europe of nations group emphatically point out that the european union 's citizens are more than ever , expect in the course of action to change attitudes and in the diversity of opinions which exist in our countries and convictions will take into account . with regard to the human resources must be the new administrative reform , particularly on the ability of staff and greater transparency in the staffing policy in general should focus . i would like this explanation of vote , to use and emphasise strongly emphasise the fact that parliament has unfortunately not all the power to it should have . with a request to the rules of procedure i will conclude . the information they are in fact , mr barón crespo contradictory . it is not so that the socialist group does not want to . that is what makes us problems : it is an important summit and everything that we say that binds us . i must point out that the committee will meet tomorrow afternoon , primarily in order to evaluate the conclusions of the intergovernmental conference . ( parliament approved the proposal ) i would be extremely grateful to you if you are preparing this concern . i also condemn the fact that in rotterdam , a few days ago , one of the strikers sympathisers from a command of the grey wolves , was murdered . this would obviously does not have needed if the council in june our first reading and the amended proposal of the european commission which has a long way in which direction we did not take more account should have . thirdly , it must be considered whether these provisions , which we support , to help ensure that the internal market work better , and whether they are compared to the desired objective . our second concern is with particular legal and has led us to an even greater correlation between the harmonisation of the market and the health situation demands , and we are strictly complied with the recommendations of the explanatory statement to the recently adopted by the court of justice ruling to remove the word ' directive ; only result in an arbitrary interpretation of these reasons we come to the conclusion that these two aspects are not compatible . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , europe has hitherto been 80 deaths in the context of new variant cjd . europe , the council of ministers , the commission , parliament will adopt a ban on testing compulsory for cattle over 30 months old that are , in their release for consumption . we think it is quite obvious that article 95 , together with article 133 of the legal basis for this directive is , as the committee , as proposed in amendment 1 . in the opinion of the court is a total ban on tobacco advertising in the name of a smoothly functioning internal market cannot be justified . as evidence as ' low tar ' , ' low-tar ' and ' slightly misleading , in my opinion , i am fundamentally opposed to amendments nos 10 and 30 . i would also like to talk about in the treaties containing commitment . the rapporteur , mr maaten , on the grounds that this legal base proposed readily by reference to a different article , article 133 of the policy to be strengthened , and he has also tabled a few articles in a number of changes necessary in order to prevent this directive on the basis of valid law by the court judgments being challenged . i regret that , in the committee on legal affairs and opinions have been imposed by the court of justice , is that the ban on tobacco advertising directive in a general way . as a member of the environment committee , namely by various groups , i am very clearly the underlines the need was for the sale of tobacco products in europe and the presentation of rigour to regulate . paradoxically , the directive , the production of tobacco in the community - even if not banned in countries like greece 's tobacco produced so severe that it is a crime under this directive , it would be for the promotion of use . many thanks also to mr byrne for the clear statement on the legal base . in the european union , half a million people die each year on an unnecessary death , and this figure will increase if we do not act now . i am convinced that this legal basis is also absolutely nothing , and it is appropriate that the trade unions , that the farms that the honourable members , about the loss of jobs that . i am in favour of warnings pictures , a sensible list of ingredients , europe-wide gesundheitsförderungsmaßnahmen research , which would be helped to smoke , children of tar , nicotine addiction and remain to be spared . this compromise was also in the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . as i have understood the amendment , which would be the exception of article 3 , i.e. the tar , nicotine and carbon . because of the universal nature of the directive is not something we can solve the other hand , which is why we must dump everything . the establishment of a maximum possible health warning of some großpackungen would be a reasonable solution . finally , the point that i am pleased to announce that the commission of the report 's amendments nos 54 33 either totally or in part political-economic accept . the main argument that these amendments and for a report once every five years , which is in fact the enlargement of the european union , just after nice , it is particularly timely and appropriate . the summer is tantamount to a greater quality of life , and the positive effects of summertime outweigh the temporary difficulties encountered by more than in the clock . the summertime is not the problem for our common house europe . a unique review from the commission in five years is enough . furthermore , the needs of the manufacturers of computers and electronic commerce and the current tachograph and have to bear in mind . madam president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , for patients necessary medical research should be approved quickly and unbureaucratically , but it is ethically motivated limitations strictly respected , and the trial subjects must be protected against abuse maximum . this is an important distinction , which we are making here in our report . although in relation to the council also certain contentious points left , i would like to remind you that the process of adopting this directive is the result of long and fruitful in finding compromises is something that we have our rapporteur mr liese , whom i thank for his participatory and constructive manner , and the council , which is the second reading amendments approved by the environment committee to cooperate and openly showed , thanks to . i am thinking particularly of the research in connection with the fight against cancer , but there are many other areas . unfortunately , despite introducing appropriate measures for the new threats and diseases , often enough that the existing medicines to combat it . it is not the duty of doctors , modern and effective means of these challenges delayed . the vote will take place tomorrow at 12.30 p.m . a second reading and to avoid the action programmes without interruption can carry on so that no vacuum which was created with the council , of course , the commission and the environment committee of parliament agreed to these four programmes , for two years to renew it , the commission has identified the means available to every year , however , because if the new health programme adopted in the meantime , in effect , there is no longer understandably verlängerungsbedarf and resources for the second year can be used . it really is high time that the member states to agree to the european union in a perfectly legitimate supranational matter more room for manoeuvre and according to grant more resources , because diseases know no frontiers . according to estimates international organisations such as europol is taking the import of drugs in the union even too . public health is national policy , and it should remain that way . the next item is the debate on the report ( a5-0355 / 2000 ) by mrs cerdeira morterero , on behalf of the committee on citizens ' freedoms and rights , justice and home affairs on the initiative of the portuguese republic with a view to adopting a framework decision on the position of the victim in criminal matters ( 9650 / 2000 - 2000 / 00 c5-0392 - / 0811 ( cns ) ] . a further initiative at international level is the statement by the united nations on fundamental principles of the legal treatment of victims of crime victims and abuse of the resolution 40 / 34 of the united nations general assembly adopted on 29 november in 1985 . you may remember , to the debate on the so-called di pietro-bericht , for some time ago , in this house has gone . with this initiative will be three fundamental issue : has the right to information , the victim of access to justice and the right to compensation . the most important aspect is , however , i think the fact that there are also at union level is finally being aware of the need for a new approach to the approach taken by the member states in the fight against crime to be found . the member states should be obliged to special police forces for the victims to set up . italy has repeatedly to france , where lojacono at large company , extradition requests to put these multiple murderers , so that he can finally serve his sentence . it must always be at the heart of the victims - not the perpetrators ! as you heard , there are three different types of measures envisaged rahmenbeschlussentwurf : firstly , minimum regulations regarding the rights of victims should introduce ; secondly , there are specific rules introduced with which the individual situation of people take account of a criminal offence in one member state have fallen victim to which it has not been welcomed and , thirdly , the member states are called upon to draw up measures to support to victims . it is already engaged in the coordination of national services for supporting the victims of crime at european level to support in order to provide assistance to victims for that matter , especially those in a country other than the lives of crime . approval of the minutes of the previous sitting i now give the floor to mr varela , chairman of the competent committee for fisheries for that matter . well , therefore , well done ! we still have a trialogue last tuesday , in the joint declaration of the council and parliament over the last put in place . therefore , we have managed to find a solution for the 2001 budget to obtain . we must consider how we internally in the area of the promotion of all the existing needs to be transparent procedure to develop . we asked for on their behalf , and we were told : ' this is the country without names . the council has its second reading on the budget , taking account of parliament 's delegation with agreements and in the ongoing efforts carried out , to adopt a budget of the financing of european union 's priorities and to the real requirements and the actual capacity to implement the budget line . the third important element of this second reading of the council is to reach agreement on the financing of the multiannual programme for enterprise and entrepreneurship , that the employment initiative continues to supplement the period 2001 and 2005 . in general , i would like to emphasise that it is in a few days on end family-owned budgetary procedure has shown how useful to the interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 . the discussions were sometimes very hard , but always useful and always shared the exchange of ideas , with a better mutual understanding and thus to speed up finding a , as i hope , for all satisfactory agreement has contributed . it is essential that no country in the balkans as a result of the democratisation of serbia now less aid available will have , as this in the development of serbia was planned . indeed , the successive repeated use within two years - in my opinion , however , quite wrongly , as a kind of the financial perspectives are considered . today we have now heard from the council of its willingness to improve 3.5 % . for that i am referring in particular , the commission and the council from my sincere thanks . mr president , i would also like to mrs haug on her excellent work . i suspect that in order to be quite considerably simplify , flexibility is valid for small and large amounts for the revision of the next few years . we shall see how it works . we are now faced with a situation that we need to decide whether we can vote for this budget on thursday or not . we must look carefully at what is , of course . but the interinstitutional agreements between the three institutions are also a great thing . they should mean that we have common plan ahead . the growing problems mainly relates to the level of unemployment , which the bse crisis and suitable . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , european parliament , i am happy to present to you the results of the french union presidency and the reasons for the last few months will be able to assess progress achieved . as we have had promised in nice , are not questions left unregulated . it is the procedure of closer cooperation in the context of the first and third pillar has been greatly simplified . it is both an enormous challenge and a historic stage to reunite our continent represents . with this charter will strengthen our union , are the values of dignity , freedom and solidarity , on which it is based , confirmed . some weeks ago , the previous chemietanker ievoli sun in the vicinity of the channel in distress . we had set ourselves objectives , they are fulfilled . for this six-month period - and i think i can say today , our union has emerged strengthened , as they are prepared to accept new members to combine the family , now that we are sure to be able to act together on the same time , it has also strengthened at the heart of our fellow citizens with regard to the fundamental values , in terms of growth and employment , solidarity , security and the preservation of the european social model , and it also has the power and influence acquired at international level . ( applause ) given the approach pursued felt that may be inevitable , but that is the result of all the more disappointing for two reasons : firstly , because it is even more difficult to achieve a qualified majority , and therefore a blocking minority easier , even in an enlarged union would otherwise is required . ( applause ) ( applause ) the right to use the nice summit was to be tackled , was probably the most ambitious ambition for a summit for many years . madam president , mr president-in-office , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the judgment of my group , on the following the fifteen little einnehmenden spectacle that you will have to be truly europeans who live to see how things have been able to give us a common vision which solidaritätsbewusstsein , trust between the eu 's leaders is , is very hard for it . for all decent-thinking people clearly point out to you the very serious consequences , arising from the project of a federal europe with 27 or 28 member states will have . mr president , let me also emphasise that , in particular in france after nice once again as losers status . madam president , mr president , the group of the europe of democracies and diversities deplores the fact that the presidency has not accepted the message which it has already been übermittel in july . many will still not the port , in the same access to the european union . there is therefore also a border , which is to be taken into consideration . i believe it is not only to think about the three groups , but also from other groups , but the technical reasons , could not endorse . it is thus desirable that the development of medicinal products in the community to promote increased opportunities for the patient , as an effective treatment can be offered . i congratulate my colleague mrs honeyball mary on her first report on the european parliament . surprisingly , has the floor to mr fatuzzo , and i am interested to know what he said what pensioners now ! the victim must be seen as a person who , in an unusual situation , which is characterised by uncertainty and oppressed . the situation is perhaps even worse if the offence is not covered by the victim 's country occurred . the next item is the continuation of the joint debate on : it was to give up hope to see that the debate must be concentrated on only one who should have more or less agree whether france or germany , the netherlands and belgium , spain , portugal or gain anything . we are pleased that a new method has been created , and hope that , given the hope that the impact of enhanced cooperation is to pursue that europe will be capable of a future constitution to draw up our fellow citizens in the hope that this wonderful project , which reflects the european venture . the candidate countries will be the selfishness of our own member states to take an example . the delight is unevenly distributed , but the main message is clear : europe can now be summed up in an enlarged eu democratic , by the treaty of nice is also endeavor . the partikularinteresse , there was before . one of the agreement reached on the treaty extremis may have been open to a crisis which enlargement in question should be avoided , however , we can talk about abuses by a crisis , with which we now have to deal . i do not believe it is more realistic , for the implementation of their own national prestige instead of an efficient functioning of the union 's help , and i do not think that the european citizens in masses are stood up to the sea battle a nice in its power to follow . what a wonderful project after all , eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall . at that time was regarded as half of europe , and we must now be for the whole thing will develop . the nice we will no longer on the institutional obstacles can invoke . firstly , an institutional imbalance , insofar as much of the council and the commission and parliament have got little . this model has itself . the consequences for europe would have been totally unpredictable . for example , as you know , at the beginning of the european union to the blocking minority two of the so-called ' big countries ' needs , today there are three . is the path marked out enlargement makes it possible for the european parliament will be included in the debate , in the continued development of concepts and thought out . the common european interest , as its sole true - and on this point , mr moscovici right - i believe that nobody can cause , cannot be based on the amount of national interests , and they are intertwined cancel each other , and the message in this regard , mr verhofstadt has been very useful . we recommended their ratification procedures . i personally believe that a new weighting of votes on the basis of the population size to be at the european parliament has been the case , and with the council should have the same . but nice , mr president , it is not the end of the road , but the basis of a new stage with many challenges . that is why i would like to return to what has been a couple of times today . it is apparently really achieved , the total paralysis of the future of the enlarged european union , we were able to prevent the ambitions of the french presidency will not be implemented in the new treaty . i am about to get a nice simply inadequate . i do not know whether the commission is following the debate is going to speak , but given the absence of the council , i wonder whether the commission is also convinced that , until 2004 , the czech and hungarian polish members and members of the baltic states in the european parliament will sit . we have not nor that of bringing about enlargement with the same dynamism and determination to reach a nice advanced in order to achieve our aims , and that this is the most historic task which the european parliament and the commission in the next few years have to do . above all , it remains the problem of the financing of the balkans , in the coming years in full out there . i would like the rapporteurs , the chairman of the committee on budgets , the commission , the council and the presidency and offer my congratulations on the work carried out , for the conclusion of this agreement to which we adopted in the budget for 2001 is possible . it is to thank the rapporteurs . it is good that the small and medium-sized businesses as well as the main employer additional resources available were asked . in football , which would be transferred from one 1 : 1 equalised speak . the fact that we have a budget , and in conciliation we were able to agree , however , does not mean that all our problems are resolved . this importance to us was not easy , but it stems from the treaties , although the council is sometimes difficult to recognise this . they also include a commitment of the college of commissioners to a just and efficient distribution of human and material resources to implement the various community policies , which means that the political priority for parliament and the commission 's managementpriorität must be brought into line . so it is precisely the task of the common european level , the safeguarding of the environment and regeneration has forward . it is a lot of talk about the post-nice process . you are right , of course , to refer to this question again . neither military force , a possible further advance of dictatorship are still to be feared . what will regard russia financially with morocco are almost at the same footing , or rather higher , and i am sure that cannot be right . it would be very dangerous if the europeans themselves in a logistical dependence on russia would go . and there is also a tacis programme only very limited intervention , not to say that it is only a drop in the ocean may be . the falling birth rate , and the death of the population is increasing ; the nettoverlust russia is around a million per year . the solution can only be a political nature . mr putin himself has said , the main problem is not in the status of chechnya . with regard to russia , with the population , with society does , that is indifferent to the west . mr president , the european union has in recent years , the various russlandbezogene documents adopted a good basis for close relations with the russian republic form . and what means freedom for the chechen people ? it is the first step , then we will ensure that legislation , which can be paid to the second step would be stabilised . in addition , the economic development and , fourthly , will come as a result , trains of civil society . but it is an excellent report , as well as the common strategy itself stresses the importance of our relationship - the strategic partnership - between the european union and russia attached . this means that we are on key areas such as the honourable member has a number of environmental and nuclear safety , kaliningrad in itself , and a better coordination between the various sources of funding must be targeted . we need to avoid mistakes by another speaker mentioned at the beginning of the last century was made , as russia after the revolution of 1917 leninistischen practically excluded from the european political life , which had disastrous consequences . as you know , the council has adopted a common position on the review of directive 90 / 220 / eec adopted . i believe that they can , therefore , the answer to your questions are still outstanding . i am quite prepared to me to put this debate , but it must be the most appropriate framework for it to be found . i do not have sufficient information on the precise answer your question . since he can do not say that it has no precise information about it ! the council reminded of the members of the conclusions which he has at its meeting of 19 may 1998 all fraud goes on in the alcohol and tobacco sector has adopted . all the member states have reaffirmed its desire to strengthen the fight against fraud , both internally as well as at intergovernmental level . the european union has repeatedly reaffirmed their strict compliance with the right of asylum . the cotonou agreements signed in june 2000 akp-eg-partnerschaftsabkommen does in this respect , the community by 2005 , the duty-free access for essentially all products from the ldcs possible . i would remind you that the presidency does not set out the opinions of private individuals to say that it is not just any government is about what approach to the council when the x ' or \" t \" represents . it should be to create a system in order to be tested for the removal of cattle and buy up the growers to compensate for the price to pay . it was from the outset , the concern of the french presidency , a european answer to this crisis to be possible , by the food , social and health are affected . in the framework of the barcelona process algeria ago a number of principles , including the rule of law . a few weeks ago i had the opportunity to give some thought to prepare for the special session of the united nations general assembly of the follow-up of the world summit on children in september 2001 , which will take place at present . subject : turkey 's obligations under the partnership between the eu and turkey in the commission 's proposal for a partnership between the eu and turkey , according to the council will the situation with regard to re-examine litigation pending , particularly regarding the impact on the accession process and with the aim of the settlement of disputes about the international criminal court to promote the required at the end of 2004 . the council intends to take this matter in the context of the above-mentioned partnership with the turkish government to raise ? the rights of defence in an appropriate way , given the mutual recognition and can achieve something ? in addition , it is a matter for individual member states at national level , a sovereign decision on the use of national troops in the context of such an operation to take . subject : the importance of tax for the single market work of the european commission president prodi has novel in november in an article in the financial times stated that they do not want any harmonization and joint tax levels in the eu , while the rates in the hands of the national parliaments , and should remain there too . amendment no 23 to 32 will be replied to in writing . the stabilisation and association agreement between the european union and the republic of croatia is timely . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i should like to begin by thanking mr baltas warmest congratulations on his report , particularly for his speedy report because it was important and right to quickly to changes in croatia - mrs stenzel has mentioned this - to respond . this is really positive , with regard to the progress achieved is there . in 1991 / 92 on were 250 000 from the croats kraina , western and slavonia driven out . this was , of course for south-eastern europe is a historic year . i believe , therefore , that such a balance sheet is in sight . this is an important point for us , and i hope we will return to the support of parliament can count on you , if we conclude the negotiations on the stabilisation and association agreement will be formally consulted . the wahid government is meeting with considerable resistance , and the reform process is obviously faltering . also papuan are still in prison . also , in our resolution we call on the european commission to this course of taxes . that is the statements by the commission communication from the start of the year is fully justified it , even if it is characterised by a certain euphoria , then surely it is for a change . the forthcoming not aburteilungen and the way for eternity bio-technical refugee camps are areas of confrontation between the old and new powers and the indonesian witness the weakness of the democratisation process . the greatest is the situation in the moluccas , where the jihad illegally in a free hand left will . also irian jaya is a policy of the victims . we have to be able to prioritise . we must not environmental , social or economic questions in one basket with the key issue of respect for democracy and human rights , that in our relations with indonesia is clearly a political priority . this resolution makes it clear that , irian jaya belongs to indonesia . admittedly , the situation has improved , and president wahid deserves our support , but there are still considerable problems . it is , of course not acceptable to the mercy of tens of thousands of refugees from east timor armed rogues are handed over to the patriotism excuse to a punishment for their criminal past to escape . this was on the size of the country is indonesia together since the terms of population to my fourth point in the world . that is commensurate with its economic importance of its regional importance and its importance for the environment together . we must , therefore , the police , judicial and administrative resources and instruments and between the member states and the eu 's link . ( the president cut the speaker off ) mrs schreyer , you have before this house to repeatedly stressed that you as the commissioner responsible for fighting fraud is your task , in particular , this will ensure that the independence of olaf . the problems created by the introduction of an economic level , it is because of the so-called ' community ' created models for redistributing the revenue of eu citizens ill-considered and often are wholly undesirable . i would like the rapporteur , who i as a politician and as a man who admire very much like to congratulate her on her report , but unfortunately i cannot do so . the report concerns the protection of the community 's financial interests and about how we deal with this subject . these are the most important issue . i shall concentrate on the basis of the time limit on in the presentation of the individual points briefly . the debate is closed . there are eu-wide legislation that companies are to protect against such negligence , and the commission now has promised to separate rules to guarantee the execution of direct payments to be introduced . we have not yet on other mechanisms in order to draw attention to cases of fraud detected . mrs schreyer , you have just mentioned , the council and said that there was a member state which is the establishment of a european public prosecutor 's office was opposed . therefore , parliament is very sensible , if it is of the court of auditors would know exactly what we expect from these reports . neither the commission nor the member states should be able to shirk their responsibility , particularly not through mutual point to the responsibility of each other . he said that the very serious and regrettable these considerations . it was a very have been more , and i also feel a great step itself from you that the commission and the court of auditors in preparing this report should be involved in its deliberations . you can see from my speech , i think that it would be useful to continue to discuss these proposals in order to see how the greater responsibilities can be identified . the first crucial shortcoming is the lack of harmonisation . this is why i believe , we also need to improve the article 4 . within this internal investors should be able to their property in favour of companies in which you and to invest in favour of these companies exercise , although it does not matter whether it is a private company or pension funds . we must not close our eyes to reality , in adopting a restructuring of the establishment plan , there is , therefore , redundancies ... measures which you have an impact on jobs . but what do we let us as a parliament of the proposed amendments might mean ? that is the principle on which opinions diverge may tomorrow be : what is it a law to the regulation of takeovers in the main part ? however , would be easier to resolve the question of the responsibility of the regulatory body . the rapporteur 's amendments would create confusion in relation to potential disputes , and it would be wrong if we give our assent would such a request . with regard to the point i would like to illustrate this directive , which is the close relationship between your voters in my country and millions and millions of citizens of the stock market is tied pensions and amount . such a procedure exists in some member states not only affects the area of public takeover bids , but has a much greater scope , and in the commission 's proposed general revision of company law on this issue could be further investigations are carried out . furthermore , i should like to remind you that it is in accordance with a previously expressed desire of the european parliament is a framework directive . the resale right is the indispensable and inalienable rights of artists to a percentage of the proceeds away from the resale of their works . firstly , a british fear lobbyists loss of jobs . the compromise adopted by the council is , therefore , only a weak clones the original commission proposal at first reading , the broad support in the european parliament has been found . i also hope to the support of the commission , at least three main points of controversy . here it is also about the vitality and the competitiveness of the european market . in another case in the work would certainly be found elsewhere , that is , in america , been sold . this amendment is , however , only partly acceptable . of the market for postal services liberalisation . this is consistent with my proposal , mr savary . firstly , we must ensure that we achieve favourable prices postal services . secondly , we must ensure that we have a high quality and , thirdly , that we have a high level of availability of postal services across the european union can provide . the committee on legal affairs was higher standards in the limits of the universal service is reserved for , but also the 150-gramm-gewichtsgrenze unanimously rejected the proposal for a directive , and , as laid down 50 grammes it . and finally , we cannot accept the new liberalization on until prior assessment has been carried out . you know how difficult the dossier is , after all , it is ideologically loaded , sometimes from both sides . this step , which by some members of this house will certainly be welcomed . it would , however , for the postal services in the european union be disastrous . furthermore , this will on the closure of post office outlets in the country lead , because they cannot survive without the postal services . if we are in the present rate of 100 years on , we need to make an open market for postal services in europe to build . madam president , i would like to make three comments . in the discussion on this new directive on one point in particular , we should take into account . that is not the case and must not be so . in a fair competition monopolists can prove that they understand their craft industries . but if grandmother is looking forward to a kind which postman is also made a high quality of postal services is , then we must not make the sad but also to be welcomed . anyone who so badly drafted in a trial , who called for the report on the implications since 1997 is not present , who argues ideologically , exactly the objectives which you mentioned will only be achieved if we liberalise to liberalise and deregulate , but it should be not be surprised when it comes to the nose . mr bolkestein , the commission is the guardian of the treaties . it is just as if we have left the average income of a steinreichen and to identify a number of countries , without doubt , as is satisfactory , but because of the fact that the people at all countries in social terms , are not regarded as acceptable manner . there are times when new arrived , mr simpson . the governments , which has meant that had not been socialist , but conservative or liberal . i was clear from the beginning of the fact that the commission 's proposal in its original form would never be accepted . this liberalisation and opening up on this because we are all agreed that it is important , however , the speed . the effects of the first directive have not been published , because the consequences are obvious : job losses and deteriorating working conditions , a balanced and comprehensive supplies of postal services , particularly in the country and in working-class residential districts . it is time we come to one of the internal market for the most important political issues , the liberalisation of postal services , good progress . this is of crucial importance for the development of direktmarketingsektors . i appeal directly to the british conservatives . and in the post ably , i would like to say that , if it goes through , you will be a valuable breath available . we can only hope that we can make it one day to overcome the established and selfish esprit to defeat , so that europe really move ahead . only 3 % of the briefmarkts are already been liberalised . it will be overtaken by technological development and the consumers are being ignored if this is no proper provision for their money received . we can only support you in this adjustment if the gradual and controlled opening up of the market after a timetable set out . as regards amendments nos 60 and 61 is concerned , i support the call for a complete the internal market at a later date , the within a reasonable timeframe decide on it . the commission will be the same position , and therefore , the council on the basis of the commission 's proposal to take the decisions which it considers appropriate . the european parliament must now , however , give an opinion . my second report is , therefore , on many points in the first and accepts the amendments adopted in plenary . it is true , commissioner , that we will continue to have certain reservations and some differences remain . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , let me begin by congratulating the rapporteur , mr dary , which gives us so much the reform of its history and its context - and i do not want to repeat - has presented . it is in a number of specific community regions , in the outermost regions which are a number of difficulties have to compete on the markets , and one of the only products which they operate , bananas are just now . through the wto chaotic conditions to be avoided , because in the wto rules must be created , in all the parties to be reconciled . it is not an exaggeration to say that this matter among the greatest attention in all the institutions which have caused . we must unreservedly on the livelihoods of these producers contribute by , whom we buy your products . mr president , the rapporteur deserves our thanks and recognition for his report on this difficult issue . i also thank the chairman of the groups in parliament , the persistence and stubbornly of members of the outermost regions have accepted that this proposal for reform of the banana today in this chamber and the condition of opinion and we will do so in time for the next few days in the forthcoming meeting of the agriculture council and the year 2001 will deal with a new reform of the com in bananas can begin . in this debate has repeatedly stressed that the report by mr dary by the committee on agriculture and rural development was supported unanimously . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i have the honour to inform you that a delegation from parliament from korea in the official gallery . so that we have managed , in the council to achieve a positive decision for media . report ( a5-0377 / 2000 ) by mr trakatellis , on behalf of the environment committee , the proposal for a resolution by the european parliament and council to extend types of community action programmes on public health , with the decisions taken no 645 / 96 / ec , no . mr president , i would just like to take this opportunity , with reference to the commissioner 's comments this evening at 0.15 a.m to point out that amendment no 1 in the commission 's duty to take . ( parliament adopted the oral amendment ) . amendment no 2 : parliament should insist on its position and the majority of them again lodge should , above all the amendments which the size of warnings , the labelling of ingredients and the protection of consumers , and especially the young people concerned . are there in the eyes of some members , about two categories of citizens , who is protecting people and those that we suspend the danger for economic reasons ? i would particularly like to explain that i the export ban on tobacco , whose tar , nicotine content / at eu level is beyond the current rejected and the amendments to remove this mechanism supported . madam president , i welcome the radical proposal , as in canada to use pictures of the damage caused by smoking to demonstrate . all that i consider to be welcomed , although i would like - and i should like to take this opportunity to reaffirm - that much more for slaughter is spent . i would have preferred it if this legislation through a regulation would be carried out , for these activities , which the citizens of the whole european union are concerned , more justice . the amendments tabled by mr zimmerling , the european art created the dead and loss of jobs mean . i also fear that very few living artists , from this right to a share of the proceeds away from the resale will benefit . - ( nl ) i would like to thank mr zimmerling for the effort to which he has used this complex issue . therefore , i am obliged to vote against the directive to be . and the stabilisation and association agreement , the cards programme and the european investment bank is not the main instruments of the contribution of the european union on economic and social development of croatia . the indonesian government and army are under an obligation to guarantee the safety of its citizens and their lives to protect separately , regardless of what you think of remuneration . we must , therefore , as quickly as possible the necessary instruments for combating fraud involving eu funds more effectively create . this would make the eu in a single judicial area to be created in which this type of offences reported to the criminal proceedings , and the death sentences carried out trials can be completed . this sometimes seems to be the case . amendments nos 11 and 13 seek to the system of quotas in the first ten years would have to be assessed by the commission is not commit itself to propose a tariff system , and some of our trading partners , to demand a tariff system . as regards the preamble , which is based on the akp-präferenz applies here too , we are in agreement with eur 300 per tonne seems , however , the word ' only ' unnecessary . such an extension should also apply to our trading partners , scarcely have a chance to be accepted . the next item is the statement by the commission on the eu / usa summit meetings . of course it is easier said than done , but we must resist the temptation to look at these summits to grips with the everyday problems of our political and economic relations to employ . i know that madeleine albright , the american secretary , share this view is . one of the most important lessons from this was that europeans , a greater contribution to safeguard security in europe need to do . i would be grateful if you in the spring of this communication stated this in detail would include , in addition , the analysis of the other side of the house was required , would also make proposals on all fronts , as we can achieve in the future new in terms of dialogue , cooperation in the field of foreign , security policy , but also in these practical matters such as the mutual recognition agreements . i know and appreciate the ' everything but arms for , but would ask the commission , with the forthcoming summit with the opportunity to use and the united states are obliged to sign up to this initiative . we must therefore act to ensure the irrevocable fate to prevent the waiting to those who , like mumia abu-jamal leonard pelletier partially or in the years should re-focus on death row . this is a sensible proposal , which we will be happy to take up . thank you , mr president , commissioner . i am afraid that i am at present in the crossfire my own group feel . thirdly , it must be simple formulae for tax to be applied , specifically the reversal of the reverse . the first conclusion is that we can do little , until the international framework cannot be changed . mr president , the committee would like to say firstly that the current arrangements for the following : eu-anbieter services of disadvantage of software , processing and computerdienste , provision of information services , and web-hosting web-design . i have always said that one of the first rules and principles of the legislator should be : decrees no legislation , which are not enforceable . it is in the report of the committee responsible , partly thanks to the environment committee , to a number of important elements which , through a combination of circumstances in the transport committee clearly too little has been supported them . similarly , we must , however , for a revision of the agreement of the chicago 1944 commitment to a new order at international area to be achieved . short-term under-exploited of one country to go to the detriment of another or from other eu countries . mr president , europe should , in the field of use in the coming decade a leading position in the world community . many people are wondering why , commissioner , the europeans are always so quickly with taxation and in the new rules are clear . the agreement of the chicago on this point is completely overtaken by events . i consider the introduction of a common vat system , as a priority and i do not believe that the introduction of a common system was long overdue . in a tax of 30 % achieved by the united states budgetüberschüsse of several hundred billion dollars . by far the vorzuziehende option is the exemption for european e-unternehmen , in order to give them the same terms as the american and other businesses operating conditions throughout the world . the tax competition is in the interests of the citizens and the economy . so we have to have a companies from outside the union to make the same tax obligations as local companies in the provision of services for consumers to play , for the purpose of vat in one member state of their choice register of vat , with the elected government on their affairs properly . now , quite as simple as that is the situation is not . the question concerns the source , namely the place where the tax must be applied , and the debate on the number of countries which , in addition to this issue is that the companies where register which is my understanding applicants are quite clearly , the us into a complaint to the wto challenging . it makes little sense to a flight from london to brussels and back for example , with mr virgin is costing £ whole 89 , while i support the eurostar , far less greenhouse gases , in which the journey is a lot more pleasant , for the same route some £ 250 pay for it . mr president , in this debate has come to light the ' old again . in addition , the french presidency 's proposals on tax in the place of consumption , with the duty of service providers the registration of all the member states considered . the european airlines would disadvantage compared to third-country airlines and that would be preisgefüge for flights within the eu , unlike the prices for intercontinental flights be abused . it seems to me a solution which does not lead to a kapitalabfluss from europe , and not only in the area of the oecd negotiating with specific possible . i am aware that the members of this house are sometimes controversy views . this will in the complexity , concerning the use of macroeconomic or comparable criteria are avoided . i come now to the proposal concerning the mindestnormalsatz . consequently , the icao-arbeitsgruppen still no substantial preparatory work carried out , and that happened at the next assembly to renegotiate the agreement of the chicago decided , is unlikely . this feeling is also , unfortunately , still today in the european public opinion . the ultimate objective of this directive is to strengthen the seenotfallmanagements through the establishment of safe havens obligation , through this ban during a strong devastated and through greater powers to intervene in the coastal state at sea in the event of serious danger . the oil companies tell us that you have a voluntary fund . i hope that the doubts and the resistance under the impetus of nice are reduced and our project will achieve . of course , we are relying on you to ensure safety at sea , because it is probably aware that no week passes , we are not in the same question is : ' what do you meps to guarantee the safety and to modify the regulations ? mr president , the commission is aware of the on 8 november 2000 in the british government plans announced , for example the introduction of a special road include , for instance a vignette by the british , both of non-british operators alike to pay if it is the roads in the uk sailing . secondly , if the minister of what he had originally desired , which proposes foreign lorries to tax for operators to subsidise 's own country , then this is in breach of european law . this imbalance between an economic point of levies and taxes , which the operators in the member states have to pay distorts the conditions under which operators of different nationality in the united kingdom are in competition . as regards the use of meat and bone meal , for which export exactly the same rules apply , also for the production of meat-and-bone meal should apply in the european union , with the demand that such as specified risk material from the meat and bonemeal to remove it , and also for the law is included on 1 march 2001 will enter into force . the jews are traitor and liar . i hope very much that we , in every country in this region to see that education is not the intolerance of tolerance and promoted . the answer from mr monti , i had intended to me . question no 37 by ( h-0900 / 00 ) : furthermore , the commission to propose a temporary schutzzwecken mechanism , which is specifically designed to prevent unfair korean practices in the time to meet , until the end of the wto is needed . this is a matter of urgency . the verwenderindustrie koks has a total of 70 , 000 employees , but this product in this sector makes only a very small element of approximately 2 % . question no 40 by ( h-0889 / 00 ) : we have our proposal of the acp practically the same time as presented to our member states . incidentally , i can assure you that this initiative is not aimed at this problem to be sorted out as the additional quantities which can be introduced into the community , are extremely small . these countries have given their situation , unfortunately , no independent verhandlungsmacht , and therefore we must think in this case , and act unilaterally without compensation . the commission 's bewilligungsverfahren requested for the financial support will soon be completed and that of ecpat 2001 include appropriations required . we are dealing here with three types of activities to be done . on the location of the court will in future the commission proposal says nothing about . i am not sure what the honourable member with the word ' proliferation ' thinks . the question by mr berenguer fuster concerns registered trademarks . i regard it as an incentive to further steps to spain and to ensure that this is also necessary to implement as quickly as possible . at the last question you have replied that spain is responsible and you would do what to do is up to them . this was a good statement on the answer to my previous question . the directive 89 / 48 / eec concerns the conclusion of a three-year vocational diplomas at least following the secondary . subject : transport links in umeå ( nordkvark vasa , finland and sweden ) , the traffic in the straits of northern straits gulf ( nordkvark ) will be discontinued as unprofitable , after the shipping companies no longer possible to have tax-free-verkauf . for example , i have mentioned in the city of vasa in the past two years 550 jobs , particularly in tourism , perhaps because of the ending of tax-free-verkaufs , has been reduced . the proposal reflects the concerns of lisbon which because it is the purpose of the development and use of digital content to be supported . furthermore , i would ask the commission to more efficient and more rapid implementation methods in the area of having of proposals to develop . if we include only the companies , particularly useful for content understand meteorological and geographical information which of course highly desirable , must we forget that things will get to the citizens of the specific content more difficult , given that it is only useful information about the firms go further . the digital content , which is more than by quantity and quality of standardised geared to restrict the social and cultural diversity . the second point which seems to me just as important is that we are to the small and medium-sized enterprises that we have to think about start-ups . but if we make a virtue of necessity , not just our languages , such as barriers , but not as bridges , see the advantages and benefits , then this is a basis for the european market and a degree of independence . i shall not repeat all the objectives of the programme points : to create favourable conditions for marketing , dissemination and exploitation of european digital content in order to stimulate employment prospects for economic activity which is to improve and the potential for the european digital content compared with the usa make more . therefore , it is becoming increasingly important , that for the production of content multilingual europe in the right conditions of employment . some of these amendments are very valuable in itself , but in other legislative better lifted . the various viewpoints can now be presented to the vote is not here this evening , and if it believes that the most groups in parliament tomorrow will not be put to the vote , then , i felt much more accurate , in tomorrow 's voting time , if the members of this house were to be present this request in a service , rather than this evening to do . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , ladies and gentlemen , more and more people in the european union are harassed by noise . there are , when the evening and when the night begins , the member states can decide freely . i therefore welcome the commission proposal , however , to see this as a first step , and i think that too hesitant . therefore , that will reduce and prevent the noise in the future of a substantial part of european environmental policy must be . the group of the european united left readily endorse his proposals , although we would like to add anything to go further , in order to find solutions and coherent action against those who are still money from noise pollution . however , i would also like to make the bickering and on which the recently in committee , in addition , behind the scenes , and over again here and now this dispute about that . i would therefore like to say that , in my country has enormous difficulties will have to agree to the commission proposal , unless it includes a sufficient mechanism of moving from our forefathers lifestyles issued by the spanish foreign themselves , and also by our guests , estimated to be adhered to . i commend the report and also , of course , the commission 's proposal to the house anyway . the second daughter directives yet , we have in terms of quality standards . my full support to the need to harmonise noise and the assessment of the whole issue of noise maps out the action plans for the establishment of appropriate reduction of noise and protecting calmly and areas of the enlargement of the margin for informing the public . secondly , this proposal is a new approach to assess the gesamtlärmsituation in europe , as the number of the noise of predictions people concerned . amendments nos 1 to 3 , 14 , 18 , 27 , 30 and 34 , 35 and 43 accept the following amendments are acceptable in principle or in part : no . moreover , not generally not processed food additives to be used , as regards it as it happens - which is no way have gone through , for a substantial change to its originalzustands leads . mr president , the committee on the environment , we have with the ppe group voted in favour of mr lannoye 's report , which , incidentally , entirely in line with our own ideas . no one could say that says . the next item is the joint debate on the report ( a5-372 / 2000 ) by mr staes , on behalf of the conciliation delegation on the conciliation committee 's proposal for a european parliament and council directive amending directive 95 / 53 / ec of the council 's basic rules for the conduct of official feed . of the french presidency . i was therefore a firm , from a very clear message to the word ' this far and no further marked ' . in the long negotiations have now reached a compromise in the conciliation committee , which is acceptable , an assurance that the measures taken by the commission , have been taken so long to remain in force them to be replaced by another decision and the member states to commit itself to the experts , the commission 's full support during the investigation and on-the-spot them . i welcome this legislation . the structural funds , the eu , particularly the esf , and the resources which the finance available , must always on the development of poorer areas and in our society are concentrated . the european cities are important economic , political and socio-economic centres . a clear legislation and the careful monitoring of compliance with are other instruments . the commission is also the european parliament for the considerable support which it has shown that this proposal and for the many amendments grateful . in view of the nature of the measure , the commission can accept amendments no . i say this because this is an extremely both timely issue , and i am sure you will agree to that not a day goes by , the issue is for all sorts of reasons , rightly or wrongly , however , mostly dealt with in the press is incorrect . the maximalisten want innovation and block progress , while the minimalisten to advise that only one in serious danger to health and environment recourse to the precautionary principle , i.e. a threshold above have made , though no one knows how to define this to happen . the clarification of the respective roles and competences is a fundamental condition for restoring the necessary public confidence in science and also the decision-makers us - in which politicians . in these cases will be a safety precaution sicherheitsspielraum left . we were asked to take action in the world trade organisation , perhaps a provision which would ensure that it is in the context of the wto is possible to spread to other commitments to invoke - for example within multilateral environmental obligations - entrusted to the scope of the precautionary principle to enlarge . there is also , the precautionary principle , to give more side , with the aim is to establish an international standard . the art of life , is to deal with these risks and uncertainties thought out . sometimes , it is a great deal to be trivialised . so it again , then too little of what our indignation which causes . this applies , for phthalates in toys . it is our intention , toys remarkable in sweets , ice and other food to ban . the same applies to the demand of the previous commission call for a thorough analysis . in the resolution calls upon the commission to apply its guidelines and the prevention , in the preparation of its legislative and in all its actions are to be considered when necessary . a general de-minimis-schwelle is not possible to determine . the first awarded the sakharov prize in their fight for human rights organisation within the union leads to the european parliament officially confirmed , that any violation of these rights must be fought unconditionally . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , first and foremost to the citizens ' basta ya ' thank this parliament for the honorable appreciation which we are now being given . and it will be not only murders committed . i would ask , therefore , i am here to follow up and confidence . ( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) madam president , if the house allow me , i should like to make an oral explanation of my amendment no 51 . report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) by mr garcía-margallo y marfil , on behalf of the committee on economic and monetary affairs on the commission communication : tax on kerosene [ com ( 2000 ) - 110 c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ] this agreement is in favour of certain companies and attractive to the environment and for democracy , however , it is damaging . the most significant event since our last budget debates , of course , is the bse crisis . this would clearly against the letter and spirit of i mentioned the decisions taken by the heads of state and government in breach of the question . parliament has successfully can set a number of key priorities - including a greater use of the fight against unemployment and poverty , a number of important environmental and equal opportunities , we voted against the infringements of civil side in the life programme and to the ' european ´ s lobby voted . the volume of funding for kosovo , however , raises the legitimate question of whether this part of yugoslavia are intended for 2001 350 million euros in fact be set up . there is no reason to a certain distributionsform tax advantages to grant . a final date there are clear signals to the players in the postal market and the national monopolies are able to be better to prepare a deregulation . it is a whole philosophy of the postal service out in the specific characteristics of each state can be explained and it has its roots , with a simple , perhaps only with a very narrow majority decision ausradieren ? the commission proposal of eur 50 grammes borders with a rate of preisgrenze in times of public texts are really to be drastically and would have devastating effects on the providers of universalpostdiensten had . we therefore reject the whole of the matter of concern to which he seeks , clearly and firmly behind . . ( sv ) we do not believe that the eu itself with the issue of the postal should concern , even if the proposal under discussion in committee is much better than the original commission proposal . dary report ( a5-0374 / 2000 ) however , we believe that the small producers , who are working on their planting without the slightest exploiting , before the consequences of war and their incomes protected regardless of the market be guaranteed . since the exercise of freedom of expression , pursuant to article 10 duties and responsibilities brings with it , it can be subject to conditions and restrictions or strafdrohungen . given that the content of numerical tonnage 5 % of european gdp and 4 million jobs , constitute one can only welcome this initiative . under these conditions , the united states its predominance at this moment of their future thanks to their unity and coherence . i also hope that this distribution of application of the subsidiaritätskriteriums so far is that the regions and their autonomous status within the union can be retained . we are pleased about that . thus , for example , the trade negotiations above the national parliaments to ratify deprived of their rights at last , and a country which , in the council in a minority , can no longer say no , if it sees its interests in the negotiations are being violated . before that we have repeated warnings , and the way in nice makes it abundantly clear that a much broader agenda perhaps had meant that this year would be no results were achieved , with disastrous consequences for enlargement . - in view of the fundamental importance of the decisions which were at the nice summit was to take , must also pay tribute here to express my appreciation to where it . in other words , the intention of this parliament is to control of the questions of taxation and social security to gain . in this long night gestrickten council decisions do not provide a sound ; they have fat holes , through the concepts of transparency , identitätsstiftung , more democracy and participation by citizens or reformbewusstsein flatly failed . therefore we must look at its conclusions , as a result of a compromise , which is neither transparent nor gives a clear winner . on the contrary , the influence of national democracies is decreasing , because the right of veto will be further reduced and the european parliament is being given more power . this is what you must for this report , in the light of the taxation of kerosene remains limited will be able to vote , because that would be cheaper tickets for the us and we therefore go ahead with transport can travel . ' ' does not flow from the homes along , you might be another fall on the head . the complexity and diversity of technological change and the structural änderungsprozesse urgently require the involvement of all partners of local and regional level in the development partnerships , embedded in the drafting of strategic concepts of regional policy for each region . we must therefore try to do everything possible to avoid what these three important conditions suffocate or might compromise . you could say that the innovation for all those involved in the field of opportunities is of the production process . the gap between rich and areas that are lagging behind in the technological development is indeed considerably greater than the gross domestic product . as the main argument put forward to make the bureaucrats . we know that there is a danger of mistakes . i do not know whether there was a direct consequence of this risi-initiative that today the european budget three members have signed it , but i would like to see this weihnachtspräsent , that we decide to continue to give women would benefit . it is also wrong for the budget to a chapter on how to reduce the for pilot projects , for new ideas in the urban and local development , with more than an acceptable outcome - on the basis of local common community programmes such as interreg and urban was provided . as mr rack , expressed very well , i have heard this regional and cohesion policies can never be a sort of charity towards the poorest regions understood it and will never understand as such . that is why i am in the current negotiations on the docup , apart from the innovative actions - i am speaking here from mainstream - that every programming a regional programme for access to information society , which contains the quality and checked , beyond the scope of this regional , particularly as soon as the smes , the educational and even the farms concerned . mrs schroedter , mr izquierdo collado and mr ortuondo larrea have rightly raised this question of funding . the prices for schiffneubauten are dramatically in recent years have fallen in 1999 and south korea policy on the basis of their low . the committee had to vote separately , in order to ensure that this item on the agenda for today 's debate is about . this concept is , moreover , in line with the treaty . my time is not sufficient to comment on them in detail . nevertheless , we believe the commission proposal , which is aid for research and development to take action in the world trade organisation on the practice in korea - since there are still working with prices to fall below the cost , and the possibility of übergangsbeihilfen while on the complaint , which is not opted for a perhaps more or less vulnerable solution , but nevertheless to make progress . it also korea , if possible at the oecd , strengthened by anti-dumping measures are put under pressure . this means that we are affected by unemployment and the powers-that-be others to do business with the real shipyards . in my view , he has done an excellent analysis of the shipbuilding industry in europe , which is the reality . this process will be no rapid results , and should be gone through all stages , so that it takes up to two years . the mechanisms would be brought into operation until this wto procedures , a decision . i am sure we all now feel , together with freedom in europe with vigour and vigour to defend , but i would like to say that we in spain over the solidarity of our colleagues in the european parliament , its involvement need . it too in may , in the waters of than to be nuklearherz worrying signs of damage made . it would be alarming , if we are not given the situation as quickly as possible would act . we are in both the need to stress that the two member states concerned , the united kingdom and spain , in close cooperation with the best solution for the repair of the submarine seek , and , of course , the public know about them . we have heard statements made by the leaders of the british kriegsflotte according to which the accident involving not serious , and others , which is precisely the opposite lies and those of the damage is far too long , complex and necessary repairs . the house is aware that they would be here , if this might have done so that it is now up to me to respond to play in their place . the commission is in the process to analyse this plan . it is already happening , we are talking about taking account of the real facts about the possibilities of gibraltar and the united kingdom authorities have to deal with the problem to be completed . cooperation is the calm of our union method used . the british government is just as recently as the russian government , as it is up to their submarines of accident occurred . mr president , i would also like our spanish colleagues in the light of the recent terrorist person of eta my deepest condolences . the commission in its response was marked by two months ago and in their current response so responsibly , even though , that the draft resolution of the ppe-de group that we are not recognized amongst other things , the matter has prevented bagatellisierungen , to give our approval . chief secretary caruana peter has done the right thing , as it has the prc experts to report back to him directly . and that is our view , the kohärenteste position in the interests and the safety of all parties concerned the best maintained . b5-0908 / 2000 by mrs maij-weggen and mr posselt , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; in 1980 were of the unhcr 5 million refugees looked after . today we are honouring the unhcr and all the humanitarian workers . mr president , the commission would like to give its support to the unhcr on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its founding being given by parliament , of course support . i would like to speak on a general problem and to refer to the remarks of members of parliament . b5-0909 / 2000 by mrs pack and others , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; and the last issue which i would like to address is the unfortunate events at the border between serbia and kosovo . there is one of milosevic , and not to parteitage in belgrade . in our view is also a change in kosovo dahingehendes necessary that the ethnic groups respect each other , rather than continuing to each other to one another . without wishing to sing the praises ourselves , we can also say that the european union very quickly to the new situation has reacted . b5-0915 / 2000 by mr medina ortega and others , on behalf of the pse group ; b5-0918 / 2000 by mrs napoletano and other members , on behalf of the pse group ; the chilean government has pledged to that general pinochet in chile would get a fair procedure and , indeed , general pinochet has lost his immunity , and the judicial proceedings have been taken against him . and i would like to recall that it is essential that this joint resolution , now that pinochet in chile , approve of what we have not succeeded in britain , as it was . i say this in the knowledge that this is why the grundüberzeugungen between the parties to the european free alliance and the greens are in this house . mr president , before i start my speech , i would also like to join me in condemning the assassination of the elected representatives , a member of the people 's party and local councillor in catalonia , spain , which has cost lives . for this reason , i am pleased that my group and , i think , the majority of parliament itself does not lead to the fanfare to come to exploit the current crisis . their lives in danger is highest . the league for human rights has been closed , and its president , at your premises moktar trifi , is , as you have just heard , for 25 december summoned before the courts . human rights activists , unionists , academics , journalists and students constant harassment reports on the part of the authorities . state of affairs is to be very , very seriously . the daily harassment and zusammenschlagen of democrats are really the rule . i hope that the chilean justice in this matter to continue its independence and its effectiveness prove it . as we know , to follow the european union heads of mission in the country is the political situation very closely . finally , i would like to mention the role of the european parliament , through visits of members of parliament and the public debates like today to promote public awareness and to strengthen dialogue on these issues will help . laurent gbagbo must pursue a genuine policy of national reconciliation , highlighting the concept of ivorität are banished to the racist constitutional changes and democratic elections manner in which no candidate will be excluded , because otherwise we run the risk of secession of the civil war and even increases . mr president , for months , the news from the ivory coast a well-founded concern in the european public opinion in our parliament aroused apprehension and appropriate . conditions are in favour of excluding nobody feels that the supreme court established by the military is abolished , at the head of state very clearly in the process which puts the restoration of democracy and the opinions of the committee on the national reconciliation to be consulted . it seems to me is the concept of ivorität perfectly right to be . now is approximately half a dozen copies available to the president of that . mr president , on behalf of the greens , we also back our resolution . mr president , i should like to endorse the words of mr posselt 's question . ( the minutes were approved ) the member states must for elderly people new concepts and realise that both the problem of the necessary care as well as the question of cost recovery address what applies in particular for the disabled , real families are not capable of the resulting pressures fully alone to bear . mr president , it gives me particular pleasure to welcome the rapporteur , on behalf of the greens / european free alliance , on the excellent report to be congratulated . better information , thanks to medical care , housing and better pension more and more people are living longer nowadays . it is , above all the governments of member states , the governments of the provinces , federal states and local authorities , with many recommendations do something with them . the foundation stone for the abattoir , the emphasis in the family , every human being raised as a child . very often happens , the fact that in recent years of his life very seriously ill and is totally fairly powerless and all the assistance is needed . finally , i would like to say something about the medical care . since we have also said that women must be removed from the working environment , so that the men in work . at first sight , might interpret this as many a disadvantage . we will already have to find ways and means to achieve this . the numerous active old should motivate us all , to argue for a society in which the solidarity between generations phrase is no ! these measures must be involved in the respective situations and features in relation to the quality of life and financial independence to be changed . only common constant effort can help us . it must be a discretionary powers for individual preferences and decisions are concerned . if someone is the subject of our colleagues who have lost , there are , then he should please back , in particular the spectacles , as mrs flemming was behind you , mr fatuzzo . finally , the possibilities of measures for the outermost regions and their logo again fully integrated into the text . also , it is to refer to the welfare and environmentally friendly production in europe . i am therefore pleased that we are also this week in the european parliament have set up a group of biotechnology . of course , should these institutional information campaigns are coordinated promotional measures , particularly on the major supermarket chains , only supplement . if parliament 's proposals were to be implemented by the majority have gone through three times here , but because it shows once again the powerlessness of the european parliament , that the set-aside areas with legumes grown up with clover and could be permitted to feed , then we would have had more and more grundfutter set-aside . this is not the manufacturers , sellers and professional organisations and not the european union . we must ask ourselves why we have failed to do it in the past , the industry in the european union to ensure that the available money to be exploited . of course , if we can to promote food production and the better for the environment and animal health systems to take account of the world market , then we really do well to sell the eligible under the common agricultural policy was appointed . regarding amendments nos 9 and 11 , where the establishment of a specific management committee is required , as well as for amendments nos 7 , 19 , 23 , 27 and where further procedural are being asked to be said that the commission to keep conditions must be coherent . all those who have to point out that there is still taste in europe can fail to do so . mr president , it is a moderate one conviviality scientifically proven that the best preventive measures against cancer , heart attacks or alzheimer 's , and i could also mention many other diseases . i would like to congratulate the rapporteur for his work . i would like to commend .
