we all know very well that the current treaties are not enough and , in the future , it will be necessary to develop a structure better and different for the european union , a structure more constitutional also make it clear what are the competences of the member states and what belongs to the union . 
messages of concern in the first place just before the economic and social problems for the present situation , and in spite of sustained growth , as a result of years of effort by all our fellow citizens . 
the current situation , unsustainable above all for many self-employed drivers and for the sector of agriculture , must improve without a doubt . 
in itself , it is good to reach agreement on the procedures , but we must take care that this system is not likely to be used as a weapon policy . 
now they have also clear rights to be respected . 
i agree with your signal warning against the return , which some are tempted to the intergovernmental methods . 
there are many of those of us who want to a federation of nation states . 
the rapporteurs have pointed out the quality of the debate and also the need to go further . of course , i can only agree with them . 
the latter i say that , before i make a statement learn , learn and measuring forces available , given that the political debate must be realistic and reciprocate always to the reality of forces and the objectives that all of us are proposing . 
i would like to began by this closer cooperation , to give some examples of the new potential european . 
the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . 
the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . 
i shall vote in favour of adopting the draft regulation . 
the reports of the european court of auditors not leave also pointed out these subestimaciones , from greece to portugal . 
therefore , we have not voted in favour of this report . 
according to its supporters , these buses are not only cheaper and versátiles internationally , but also more environmentally friendly because they use less fuel per passenger . 
it also calls for setting reference values to disseminate best practice throughout the eu . 
a binding charter encompassing all possible cases and that enuncie rights which imposition is absolutely legal could raise difficulties later . 
i am grateful to both his magnificent work . 
however , we feel that this cannot be dealt with by now concluded in nice in less than three months , so it is for this reason we cannot vote in favour of the charter may be included in the treaty at the nice summit . 
- ( de ) the group of the european csu welcomes the fact that the present draft charter of fundamental rights is collected and do visible fundamental rights that citizens will maintain against the eu 's institutions and bodies . 
reflects the liberal europe which is built . 
in fact , would have liked this charter withdraw to be able to continue working on it , as propose many non-governmental organisations in various countries of the european union . 
( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; 
therefore , i would like to put forward just that next year parliament not to present a report general but reports for countries to stress that ensuring a development differentiated of negotiations . 
i think , secondly , on the basis of the work undertaken by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be in a position - at least i hope - to present a precise assessment of the accession process . 
i have said , and i have no problem at repeat it here , the french presidency will not shirk any of the difficulties submitted , which does not mean that we will have the time and the necessary means to deal with each of them . 
this is an issue which is perfectly legitimate , but it is necessary zanjarla in the right way and precise . 
enlargement is a broad perspective that we need to approach with vision and a great deal of generosity . 
not everything outcome of the intergovernmental conference ajustaría to the formidable demands of adjustment that enlargement entails . 
the second major change that we are experiencing and the fact that europe must adapt is the enormous speed of economic development , that we directed towards the global market and towards the global competition . 
fourthly , as previous emerges from the principle that is given to states which have been incorporated subsequent to the negotiations the fair opportunity to join with those that have begun before . 
in the areas in which is necessary to make investments substantive and long term to achieve the levels of the eu , it must be borne in mind that , in the same s circumstances , the current member disfrutaron long transitional periods . 
in the protection of borders and the fight conra crime will apply equally our standards and the advantages of european cooperation . 
look again at trade flows which now exist between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . 
i was delighted that the commissioner has begun , finally , to inform the people that the fears of the talks do not have to be certain . 
this compromise , which they themselves purchased , must be adhered to be possible until accession to the european union . 
for this we need the support of the commission , because although we have the necessary will , sometimes we lack of ammunition indispensable . 
this is something which is essential to power , as the european union , to set the objectives aimed at the implementation of our own internal reforms . 
however , there are points and questions of scale of which we disagree with . 
this is damaging to the european union itself , to its future independent in connection with north america and also a security and defence policy common european , as also introduces risks with russia and with other countries . 
we expect to see results and that you do not postpones for another intergovernmental conference , it must be done to ensure that enlargement can take place . 
- ( fr ) i shall be brief , as i have been a moment ago , because in my first speech , i finished three minutes before . 
it is very important , and from this point of view i am delighted that the commission to work in an information campaign , which the commissioner verheugen wants is both large and decentralised . 
but - and will be my last words , because i would like to say clearly : i am not pessimistic in the field and i ando with chiquitas , i would like an option vigorous with regard to enlargement - to have credibility , we must also be serious , we must understand must also be able to collect the accession of the peoples of the peoples of the candidate countries and our peoples . 
at the moment , i do not see any need to talk about the financial perspective in connection with enlargement . 
i cannot say today of a single country . 
for the same reason have expressed , incidentally , i wish to join the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . 
i have been given the mission to be rapporteur in relation to estonia . 
as conservative , i am very careful with taxpayers ' money . 
i believe that only then would have an idea of approximately what people have succeeded in latvia in recent years . 
this is not enough , a global strategy must be directed more looking towards the citizens . 
lithuania has considerable potential for economic growth in the long term . 
in the broadest sense it is the european union 's cooperation with the russian federation . 
and i have here a sensitive issue : the support of public opinion , inside and outside the european union . 
as a result of a intelligent fiscal policy , direct foreign investments of last year exceeded the 5.450. millions of euros . 
we do not want to interfere and much less us germans . 
democracy slovak develops a stable and previously had seen the opposite . 
in this speech , i propose to highlight and systematize the six aspects of the development of the situation hungarian with a view to accession to the european union , worthy of a particular reference . 
therefore , i am pleased to see that has been discussed this subject in the general report on enlargement . 
finally , i must mention a cloud ominous hanging over europe and i must specify that i say this in a personal capacity . 23 years agents secret bulgarians launched a campaign criminal in western europe and attack certain people , including my friend georgi markov , writer known and an integral part of the media , who was murdered in a street london in full day . 
the creation of a high level group is something that i recommend my colleagues . 
the report i have the honour of them and that has also been approved unanimously in committee notes that the part of the territory controlled by the legal authority fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . 
to this end , and without prejudice , of course , on the part of the commission our representative of the cfsp , mr solana , will play a key role . 
the main problem for the malta remains , however consists of that the accession process is enjuiciado differently by the government and the opposition and the european union is important that this accession process goes so continued . 
even between the usa and mexico levels are closest . this is why , in the sector of the internal market , we spoke in favour of a strategy well recapacitada , flexible and appropriate to the challenges . 
but i would also like to say at this point that i have respect for the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe , who ten years ago have had the courage to take to the streets and launch this process . 
the information society is important for the former and for the new industry . 
we cannot leave cegar by the percentages of community law collected in national legislation . 
this means that the environment only will recover a sensitive in eastern europe when full between 15 and 20 years now . it is unacceptably long . 
this also applies to the transport of live animals for slaughter , which is something degrading . 
we are trying now to impose this obligation to carry out assessments of the consequences for health in the case of all the legislation of importance . 
my opinion report must also speak of the european union and must make clear that european funds for regional development cannot continue to otorgándose on the basis of a mere distribution accounting between regions or localities . 
elmar brok has begun rightly your speech to the point that we are all going to be beneficiaries of enlargement , and in particular which we are on this side of the current external border . 
the inland waterways is going to be important for environmental reasons , because we must draw from the road goods and if not we can transportarlas to rail , then we must use the inland sea and river . 
it was also a question of selfishness and , above all , of populism , and the change to the low of the euro has not helped certainly in the right direction . 
our message to the candidate countries is the following : it does not stop confuse for the extension of the reports before us , the files . 
unfortunately , at this moment there are many parties which have removed the mask ideological and show , therefore , very few ideals and too materialism . 
if you need to postpone the right to free acquisition of land and shelter for use family , let us do so . 
there is until now , but can run danger owing to the lack of transparency and resistance obvious , although not public , of some governments . 
furthermore , where are the million jobs by the maastricht treaty ? 
at the moment we are revising the treaties , some member states are calling for a new reform . 
the majority of international studies show that enlargement means benefits macroeconomic . 
however , except minorities insignificant , no political group is calling into question the main objective of the policy of slovenia , that of join as soon as possible in the european union . 
once the union had extended quickly , we should diferenciarla considerably , as stated in the position on enlargement adopted by the eldr group . 
for me there is no doubt that the obligatory regime and institutional which operates in that country da as a result many long-term consequences for the health of children orphans . 
ask you to support the relevant amendments . 
and even us , european politicians , we say very little understanding in the negotiation process . 
cyprus will be a sort of bridge to the countries of the region . 
i wish the negotiators continue their work successfully in this important area . 
of course , it is also important to a second kind of communication between our countries and the countries which seek accession to convey what it is in the european union . 
we cannot allow the luxury of losing occasions such as those that there was at the beginning of the 1990s . 
mr president , first of all , as socialist rapporteur for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent report . 
it is for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , to be to meet this challenge , also with regard to the fears of our own public opinion , and regain encouragement the ambition and the vision of europe 's founding fathers . 
unfortunately , i have the feeling that this enlargement process despite the many and fine words and the applied openness and closure of numerous chapters , it is not driven by the council with the necessary energy policy . 
many countries of the union afrontaron similar problems in some time in their development and can advise bulgaria to help it to overcome those with which faces at the moment . 
democracy is not only a question of majorities but above all a codecision procedure balanced of minorities . 
the candidate countries must be considered to be equally and their accession will depend exclusively of their own development . 
at the same time we have to recognize the efforts made by countries such as lithuania , to compensate for the lost time . 
therefore , is in our interest to extend our legal system and freedoms to romania , and this is undoubtedly an argument in the debate with our public opinion . 
however , there is an issue on the basis of which there is great interest : enlargement . 
my group supports this is why the deadlines for transitional periods in the sector of the environment to a maximum of five years . 
mr president , it is essential to give him a positive impetus to enlargement . 
certainly the debate remains open in the order of accession of these countries , because it will have to see the progress of its internal reforms . 
i am glad that the report is very positive and that slovenia has done really so massive to satisfy the criteria - which i have seen on several occasions as a director of the delegation still also present to the commissioner . 
in my opinion , this proposal is to be examined . 
these forms of violence and trade in women must be condemned and combated by now , with all the means both in the eu and in the candidate countries . 
a final note , with this occasion , i would like to share the thoughts and considerations of many members regarding the need to look at once and for all attentively , the issue of the limits of europe and , therefore , how much will be , as well as the convenience of drafting a report on particular of the european parliament . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
from time to time it says in this house that in a europe of citizens rights must be enshrined properly in the right of the union . 
i put to the vote the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . 
we know that the undesirable substances involved almost never affect immediately , but harmful substances in the long term , substances of long life and acumulables , such as dioxins , the aflatoxinas , and metals , such as cadmium , lead and mercury . 
we cannot seek guilty . 
if allows " dilute " products in this case , we must demand as minimum that this should be sent to the control services , and that it will be made public that the product has diluted . in fact , should also be publicizing and hold a public debate on this problem . 
however , it must be clear that the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal acts that contravenían existing rules . 
mr president , i would like to thank the members who have spoken before me . 
it is imperative . 
for example , the limit value for fish meal is different from the proposed in the products of animal origin not marino . 
it is high time to end with an interpretation fallacious the principle of subsidiarity , which aims to increase every day the tutelage of brussels on our nations . 
like the rapporteur , i believe that there are grounds for making all these things and to analyse the substances which has made reference which , although not they are toxic for themselves , show increases in the highest levels . 
unfortunately , has been lost much of the knowledge legacy , wisdom a farmer in industrial production in which animals have been reduced to be production units and goods . 
the new regulations fusionarán , armonizarán and would simplify requirements hygiene very complex and detailed until now were esparcidos in many directives . 
according to my enquiries , the number of those who are reporting on the exact content is relatively small . 
secondly , it is obvious that in spite of everything is going to introduce a change which affects the farmers , who are the producers of raw materials used in feedingstuffs . in the future , they are being forced to destroy a substantially larger number of items of raw materials . 
these compensation are necessary , although it is clear that the farmers themselves are esmeran maximize for garnatizar the health of their animals . 
amendment no 18 proposes explicitly which includes the water in the definition of feedingstuffs . 
on the basis of these scientific assessments of the elements of risk , the commission will propose to member states appropriate measures to limit the presence of these substances in animal feed . 
having studied the amendments tabled for the approval in this plenary sitting , i am grateful for parliament 's support to the proposal . 
in general terms , therefore , the commission can accept 15 of the 27 amendments . 
i i assume that is not it will his . 
the commission has undertaken to elaborarla and has also announced that it will not be able to complete it overnight . 
farmers simply need to hear more exactly , also in figures percentage - at least when it soliciten- , everything that contain compound feedingstuffs and what proportion is present . 
graefe zu baringdorf , and also to mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and express my hope that the council has taken a constructive position in relation to these issues and we can establish a common system of declaration more transparent for feedingstuffs . 
all this , of course , is due to the tragedy of bse , which has been a real ongoing saga , with various episodes . 
we cannot accept the use of harmful substances , damaging to the health of people and animals . 
but let us begin with the good news . 
this proposal is the first in a number of initiatives based on the white paper on food safety . 
thank you , 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 the application for membership of hungary in the european union and the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 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 the application for membership of romania to the european union and the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ) 
thirdly , perhaps the most difficult , that the council to approve a new institutional steps which will allow the community operate effectively , efficient and democratic after enlargement . 
although it agrees with the principles of article 13 , it is clear that secondary legislation which the european union produces since he is sometimes very far , and that there is no reason for denying the candidate countries to a right to differentiation cultural . 
in conclusion , i must stress the fact that the enlargement process must be progressive , at the rate of the adaptation of the candidate countries . 
. in the current context and given the voices which have started to oírse attacking the enlargement of the european union , it is important that this parliament to give a clear political signal in favour of the same . 
. ( fr ) since its creation , the european union has inclination to bring together the peoples . 
the criteria of the council in copenhagen in 1993 on democratisation or the ability to compete strengthened , by way of " acquis communautaire ' , the reign of a unbridled capitalism and destructive . 
in these conditions , a flight forward in the enlargement runs the risk of emphasising the flow populist and fascistoides expressed here and there . 
on the agenda of this sitting is precisely a report on equal opportunities between men and women , which is to give an indication of how poor results is making the acquis communautaire in practice precisely in this area . 
who could , in fact , refuse entry in the european parliament , to the poland of copérnico and john paul ii , the hungary martyred in 1956 in budapest , or the capital-símbolo , prague , when democracies popular defenestraban the head of state and aplastaban the people of jan palach , inmolado for freedom ? 
a larger europe and more tasks precise new and greater financial resources . 
i take this opportunity to welcome to the elderly and pensioners of estonia hoping that attention to their chances of live within the european union . 
if latvia is progressing and the european union adapted its institutional structure and its policies in order to cope with enlargement , i do not see any reason why latvia should not be able to join the union . 
if lithuania continues to progress and the european union adapted its institutional structure and its policies in order to cope with enlargement , i do not see any reason why the lithuania should not be able to join the union . 
in the area of the environment has also been checked progress obvious , with the creation of the ' national fund for environmental protection ' and the application of the principle of ' contaminador-pagador " . 
by allowing the entry of poland in the common house , the union will do justice to the newly arrival : justice which it has been negada for too long . 
i await with interest the early incorporation of the czech republic . 
. i welcome the report queiró on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and i agree with most of the conclusions is the rapporteur . 
i await with interest that bulgaria to join the union in the not too distant future . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
this is a point of view fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take seriously . 
i hope it is certainly true that the negotiations which have been under the auspices of the united nations may have results , so that both populations , cyprus and greek benefit together of the advantages of its entry into the eu within a republic reunited . 
. i very much welcome the poos report on the request for accession of cyprus to the european union . 
however , those of us consumers , we are in the last stage of the food chain and therefore we are the receiving end of the abuse and counterfeits food . 
we particularly concerns which , at european level and concrete form , food safety departs from the dehesa to table . 
precisely because we are in favour of the development of cooperation relations , really fraternales and between partners really equals , between all the countries of the world , we have no intention , with our vote , masking a superchería . 
the council inform parliament before the vote in committee , but with a margin of time very small , ruling out this deliberately any possibility of a debate additional me or parliament . 
in my report i am in favour of greater representation and participation of ngos , greater accountability to parliament , drafting an annual report to be debated in parliament , the highest possible level of transparency , the promotion of remember the last in the fight against prejudices and the recognition of the multiple discrimination . 
at the same time , we must take into account the legitimate interests of employees . 
as primarily responsible for solving the problems of discrimination at work , the social partners are more favourable position for propose solutions implementable . 
jenny was the collective " access charter ' . it was the coordinator of the group and i invited the hearings on article 13 . 
practice because directives and the action programmes encourage the member states to combat discrimination based on the same premises and that the commission is able to fulfil its role as guardian of the treaties and also of a pioneer in social debate . 
if the present legal basis liberates appropriations for new preparatory actions , their funding within this category could lead to a reduction in appropriations for other policies . 
ladies and gentlemen , we are faced with a proposal for a framework directive necessary but insufficient , whose mechanisms will have the opportunity to perfecting a after a period of application . 
i hope that the commission to study carefully the legislation sex discrimination in the light of this new directive . 
i congratulate the commission and my colleagues who have produced the report . 
i am glad the recommendation of the mann report to give the organizations of an ideological the possibility of requiring the staff certain requirements to office in connection with such character . 
the speed with which the institutions have made use of the powers of amsterdam , commissioner , demonstrates that the european union is still a pioneer in equal opportunities , and i would like to thank very explicitly to the european commission for this . 
the presence of discrimination very diverse order in our societies confirms the importance of the programme of action is the subject of the report by mr cashman . 
mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , i would like to express dismay that we are the way in which europe and the member states are facing the issue of discrimination , of racism and xenophobia . 
can you explain the commissioner why the commission is desentiende of this ? 
secondly , while recognizing their importance , in my opinion , this is a problem which is invite ngos to participate in the implementation of the programme , regardless of its size , nature and its action . 
the liberal group and democratic has considered all this , but in particular the activity of parliament who wanted to insist , also and above all , in the prevention of phenomenon , as well as the good practices . 
represents a challenge to all of us because all judge people by the first impression . 
mr president , fight and legislate against discrimination is tantamount to recognise that there are , and even that are often " legalizadas " because they are trivializadas . 
the first , the cnucyd , the united nations conference on trade and development , developed in 1963 in geneva , the principle of inequalities compensatory and therefore of the discrimination . 
in fact , information and awareness-raising are of fundamental importance in this area , should serve as detonating to instil a new mentality , a new way of thinking and be for venzan radically these prejudice still widespread among the people and guarantee the real equality of all citizens in terms of rights . 
it is therefore important to move forward with the two legislative initiatives are now debating , although mejorándolas in some areas , and increasing the sums provided for the financing of the programme and reflecting the political importance this fight against discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the principle of adjustments reasonable , in which have been pioneers in sweden and ireland , will ensure now that employers of the whole of europe adapt their places of work , will acquire equipment special and modificarán their practical work so that employees disabled really have a fair chance . 
article 13 is the point of departure for a new objective of the eu : combat discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens for the causes listed in the same . 
the second point that i would like to point out is unfortunately the serious error on the commission with this first package to prioritise between grounds for discrimination . 
mr president , discrimination on grounds of religion is just as unacceptable as any other form of discrimination . 
as the secular convinced that i am , would not , therefore , accept it . 
however , the generous idea of recognise each citizen maximum freedom as possible , provided that is compatible with identical measure of freedom for the rest , clashes , even today , with obstacles : one fact and others of law . 
one of the directives has already been adopted in record time and i am hopeful that the another be adopted in november , during the french presidency . 
some are not in line with other legal requirements , for example , the amendment relating to the provisions of the committees . 
however , i cannot accept amendment no 38 proposes abolishing article 5 , the list of differing treatment on the grounds of age that can be justified . 
parliament mentioned the important issue of the conformity of contracts . 
this is the first time that we allow joint projects in this action programme . 
it is clear that the more universal is the code , more effective will be . 
article 7 of the code obliges the member states to commit itself to prevent exports to divert towards end-users undesirable . 
. ( it ) mr president , i confess i am nostalgia of the times we from the european parliament , as well as from the various movements pacifists and trade unions , incitaba to think and act for a gradual reduction of the manufacture of weapons and we wondered how to make the production gulf war in civilian production . 
in view of the situation in which are today the planet and our continent after the end of the cold war and the breakdown of equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , such an approach would be irresponsible . 
these weapons have been turned , so to say , in the symbol of anarchy in many places in the world . 
the cfsp understands activities to fight the crisis outside the limits of the eu and not something that could be seen as a common defence policy . 
these are designed to prevent the export of arms to the governments to commit violations of human rights , to areas of conflict or regions launched a career in the field of armaments . 
the commission , in close cooperation with the member states , actively participated in the formulation of the joint action of the european union on small arms and light weapons . 
in accordance with the agenda , the commission is to make a declaration on the sector of european research . 
introduce forms of intervention in the longer term , interim between support projects and the financing institutional , use of the instruments with variable geometry offered by the treaty and , more specifically the participation of the union in national programmes as laid down in article 169 of the treaty . 
what we want to strengthen , is this aspect of hierarchy , and that depends on the way of intervention . 
you say that believes in a shake-up of the whole framework programme . 
i believe that today we need something that structured the european research area , which is something that goes beyond framework-programme next as a supplement national programmes , we need an element structuring , which means that we must accept formulae . 
thank you for your speech and constructive spirit . with regard to the views with the stoa , i believe we must do something together , because that is something that concerns the house , the joint research centre , institutes prospective present in several member states . 
it seems that the commission is heading in leaps and bounds towards the completion of the european research area . 
there will be a chapter complete on science , society and the citizens . 
there have been contacts with the greek authorities , irish and portuguese to ask the government of these countries to speed up the submission to the commission of their projects of the cohesion fund . 
perhaps the lack of service , which i have just mentioned - and that existed in the commission anterior- devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund could be more specific elements . 
my second question is : regardless of the cohesion fund , there are the community support framework , the structural funds , the regional programmes etc. what countries have had projects definitive and what programmes which countries have already approved ? 
in 1989 the commission presented a new proposal should offer greater flexibility . 
bolkestein and , despite the fact that the general rule of the treaties bans the copper more foreign companies to the internal should apply the legislation general on fair competition in europe in the cases that taxation is completely disproportionate . we need to look at the effect that can take in this situation competition law , despite the general rule that these matters are prerogative of the member states . 
if they wish to retain the fuel , the way of doing this is through the tax , and not through other forms of taxation . 
i would like to say to mr purvis that of the natural handicaps and regional is a matter which probably down to the national governments , because some of his electorate is in these areas remote and peripheral regions . 
mr president , commissioner , thank you for information . 
the spring , and the summer past , the european commission made a general review of its activities and human resources . 
there are those who argue . 
these children are used more and more for tourists and businessmen that mostly come from europe . 
the commission is convinced that all companies can prepare in time for the final step to the euro , including the adaptation of their systems and software . 
the debate político-filosófico is no longer in the agenda , but in general , we can look at the dangers of a referendum , but perhaps in another context . 
the same applies to efta . 
it has recently sent a reminder to the french authorities . 
in relation to the candidate countries , i can tell you that have been held meetings with them in relation to this issue of animal transport and agreements have been reached preliminary . 
however , in the season sows last spring the commission was informed that had been interceptado seeds imported from traditional varieties of species different , including the cotton , containing traces of genetically modified seed . 
however , after consulting their services , i am in a position to inform the honourable member that a directive on the electrical goods , the directive on the limits of tension electricity , as well as the directive on team radio and terminals in telecommunications , prescribe essential requirements on the safety of computer equipment for private use or in the workplace . 
how will agree with me , however , that in this case the distinction between safety at work , in a class school or for a child to do their homework is a false distinction ? 
perhaps estreche the hand of president khatami . 
today aung san suu kyi is back subjected in fact to house arrest . 
so i am reluctant to go further in terms of trade or advise additional measures in the field of trade or investment . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
my informers mentioned some of the meetings electoral , for example , to which had seen . 
questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . 
what we would like to is a european report consolidated was published and submitted to the examination of this parliament . 
we should concentrate on move on to not produce weapons instead of consider how to compete with other countries arms manufacturers of the world . 
the five permanent members of the security council , which supposedly conducive to our security , should pay attention to these proposals and negotiate as soon as possible accordance really worthy of the twenty-first century . 
the debate today is an important step on the reform process which began the prodi commission a little more than a year ago . 
i cannot help feeling that in his career for drawing up a proposal within the time limit set by the white paper on reform , the commission does not atendió appropriately to the details . 
i therefore propose that both the financial controller as the internal auditor produce annual reports detallando their activities . 
the van hulten report aggravated with reason , the differentiation in which the commission calls and gives a good impetus for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . 
let us hope that this does not happen again ! 
if fix them now something for the institutions large , it should apply to all the hierarchy of this independence that the committee of wise men has put forward . 
in the past , we have noted with great frequency that excessive delay the decision-making processes generaba frustration between complainants and a loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
i would like to say to the commissioner that this report is but a intermediate step . and a intermediate step means that it is the first step of building a bridge between the system that we have now control and the system that we want to achieve after the reform . 
this is the content of the proposal . 
only when this will be to introduce sampling , selection , monitoring often . 
consequently , beyond mere words , we are aware that the task is not for nothing easy . 
obviously , i also think that neither politicians nor the technical can we tackle in any way the problem we alone . 
the majority of children and adolescents is growing , however , fortunately , in an environment which has no such problematic . 
i fully agree with the president of the commission in the need to draw up this catalogue , similar to a constitution and in my opinion , it is clear that there should be strengthened the principle of subsidiarity and the eu should therefore refrain from making policy in the large number of areas where the policy approaches are not cross-border . 
information from the whole world and all the areas of knowledge comes at a very short time to our houses and communication through all the planet is for them experience daily . 
arrested very shortly afterwards , declared themselves in policemen : " it is strange , in the series television , they are not being catch so easily " . 
legislators , and this will end here , mr president , cannot solve everything , but must sometimes remember the rights and duties of each . 
i am also very sensitive to the remarks that have been made on education , on the training to learn to read images , on the awareness of the young generations to take a closer approximation criticism of the medium-sized and not languish anything at all times and in any way . 
nothing will do more damage to the views that are to be that the fact that a report like this not forward or not to make possible greater mobility or not begin , at least , to break down the barriers which faces today mobility educational . 
the outstanding problems in the various member states are kinds of : for example , different rules in the field of social security , grants , right of residence , taxation and the lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and the stages . 
it is high time europe pay again attention to the proper implementation of programmes such as the socrates and youth for europe . 
the experience on the mobility of students and teachers shows that the real difficulties to free movement are not in the authorities of education , but rather in the fields of action by the authorities in the social security , finance and immigration . 
it has been mentioned as an example of this the socrates programme . 
there has to be inspection clear , control clear , even by sampling , and , above all , a window , a website , where the pupils can collect their complaints . 
that is why we are asking to be incorporated into the category of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . 
it is easy to do so in a speech , but not in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate its action , similar to the president chirac or the minister joska fischer . 
the union must speak with one voice in foreign policy and reflect a capacity of common security and defence . 
we need a forum decision-making to deal with issues are important to both sides as migratory flows , the transfer of production factors , energy supply . 
the proposal for a resolution on the reports of the commission , on which the honourable members will speak later , there is a lot about this . 
this is clearly in the report prepared by the finnish presidency on women and decision-making . indicators which has produced will make it possible to assess progress . 
apart from this conference of ministers and the symposium on the professional equality , two texts very important , specifically dedicated to equality , but corresponding to the council on employment and social affairs , are very laudable . 
the second relates to the principle of non-discrimination , including the based on sex . 
with regard to the reports , i must say incidentally - the madam president-in-office of the council also debated this - that one of the major problems in the eu are , of course , the great cultural differences . 
the reports presented here are a good example of this . 
we must ensure that the directive on equal opportunities really formed part of the rules . 
i believe that this method adopted in the first place for finland , it is viable in many sectors and , since it is part of the strategy of equality between men and women of the commission , we can expect much of it . 
on behalf of the equal opportunities , french women have acquired , thanks to europe , the right to work night . 
as a french citizen , this vision of the world i find it particularly foreign . 
despite these observations , we will vote in favour of this report , therefore , of course , we are in favour of equal opportunities , but this is , above all , respect for everyone . 
the own mothers freedom of educating their children without remuneration , he will go down the bill later in the form of crime youth and vandalism . 
in this context i would remind you of our report on the division of the derived rights of pensions in the event of divorce whereby the pensions of survival and retirement age were incorporated by the end of the directive 1979 . 
the polish women we were very grateful for having made it clear that the representative present there not conveyed the attitude of the polish women . 
greater participation of women at all levels of government and in all areas of life is essential to give greater depth to democracy and achieving and maintaining peace . 
to conclude , i should like to mention the situation of women in the candidate countries for accession to the european union . 
the council , especially the men who make it up , have in this area the important task to guide europe in the fight against mafias of exploitation of women . this slave trade is not something that responsible politicians can escape , shirk or ignore . 
the reports and speeches that today we are analysing we can make , as we already knew many of us , that the problem of equal opportunities is a problem structural in nature and , to deal with it , are necessary global strategies , because women are not a category or a social group homogeneous nor any collective . 
it is true that i was a little sad to see that maria of belém roseira already was not in this job . 
two of you mentioned new social rights , new rights tax . 
thirdly , because they are the basis strategic not only for the european union - even the to have at our disposal an image of the situation in the charter of human rights has played an important role - but also at national level , since can the member states through the assessment comparative determine national targets . 
the joint debate is closed . 
these amendments must be entenderlas in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament can compromise with not insist on these amendments comitology because they have been overcome in some way in the new interinstitutional framework . 
however , i , personally , i still think that the text adopted in its day by parliament responded much better to the new realities which have emerged the internal market and the liberalisation of the markets , in the extent to which the elements of clarifying and control which introduced amendments not accepted entail a greater guarantee that the rules would be met and that they were to follow the same procedures when its implementation . 
if we want the third countries to accept the commitments , the european community must be the first celosa in to ensure compliance with its own standards , because if a country has the possibility of placing products into the community by way of smuggling for what is going to disturb in negotiate with us any kind of granting ? 
furthermore , the amendment of the european parliament on the customs formalities through statements computer , accepted by the council , lead to the customs administrations of the member states to equipen with the means computer control more modern . 
but now it is too late , because you have just take the vote and the members have voted in favour . 
votes ( continuation ) 
report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) on the commission 's annual reports " equality of opportunity for men and women in the european union - 1997 , 1998 and 1999 " [ com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities . rapporteur : lone dybkjær . 
it is not the first time that i am speaking on the mobility of students and of the body of teachers . 
this report is important , because occurs at a critical moment for the european union : enlargement . 
discrimination not addressed creating jobs additional administrative but by changing the mentality of the people . 
i voted against the mann report , because , although it is necessary , in fact , to try to achieve equal treatment of persons in the field of employment and work , we should not be rutting until the point of abandon all protection of fundamental freedoms and respect the rule of law . 
as secular convinced that i am , i have not been able to associate myself with it . 
the pne welcomes this directive and its aim to abolish discrimination at work . 
if we want to draw up a directive plausible and viable we cannot cargarla of florituras and illusions , because that is not what is expected of a legislative text . 
however , the eplp has serious reservations on the following areas . 
there are also elements which , in our opinion , should be left to the member states , such as the aplicaión general , the provision of training for workers of certain age groups , the nature of the system of mediation and the way in which smes to interpret the directive . 
van hulten quite rightly points out in the same interview that we can only begin with a positive agenda once they have been resolved problems as fraud , wastage and the lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process . 
the reason for my vote in this report relates , in essence , with the question of closer relations between the european union and nato and also with the progress towards a common defence policy . 
in the report is also the export of weapons in europe as a way of solving conflicts in the territories similar . 
however , i do not accept that requires a common defence policy , and a european security and defence policy within nato . 
children are the first victims of violence television . 
i am pleased that has been carried out this study . 
at community level is going to create a committee of experts with the mandate to produce a memorandum that sets out the general principles for the protection of minors in relation to the means . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it is particularly interesting that , for the first time , it is obvious need for assessing the effectiveness of the political initiatives with the commission 's annual reports . 
peru 
mr president , in peru are currently moments of uncertainty and all alimentamos hope that the current situation will be resolved through a process in which guarantees all civil and political rights , which will serve to strengthening and the consolidation of democracy and peace in peru , a country which has suffered 25 000 deaths in the last fifteen years . 
the floor in point is the word ' democracy ' . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which were developed in the elections peruvian last may were unacceptable . 
b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . 
and i therefore think it is also good that the resolution contains a number of points clear and unequivocal specifically relating to the situation of women and to draw attention to how necessary it is that we are trying to help prevent the taliban regime continue its total discrimination against women . 
the eu awaits an important task . 
it cannot be recognition by any member state while persists policy violation of human rights , in particular systematic discrimination against women . 
and that we do have to take this into account , from the european institutions and also crops drugs are used to buy arms . 
however , will give its full support to the neighbouring countries in order to help them to improve its resources in combating this evil . 
i think this is a good time to remind you of the need for the european union is beginning to devise a policy of comprehensive nature with regard to latin america , which possibly could prevent these countries are crossing periodically crisis situations such as those that have occurred in some of them . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and parliament we can only with great satisfaction the liberation of jesuita spanish , mr alejandro matos castro , which took place last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : law of higher education and universities ; 
therefore , all we are pleased greatly that the problem of higher education finally appears to work towards a solution really positive . 
this is , for my part , a good example to all the neighbouring countries that must not only be sow hatred through education , as is now so often , but that education can also serve as cradle to live together in multi-étnica peaceful . 
i too would have preferred to have found a solution that mereciera the approval of all the parties represented in parliament . 
let me take this opportunity to point out that the commission has already had a very good experience in cooperation with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , is concerned . 
we are not today discussing in this house only to express our sorrow . we are debating mainly on what has happened , as to what has happened and how are we to remedy the situation , how we can help from now on , the commission and the european parliament , so that such events are not repeated in the future . 
in any case , mr president , we agree with this joint motion for a resolution , which we support as it is now , as a matter of urgency , and of course , on the basis of what i mentioned earlier , we do not agree with the amendments which have also been tabled as urgent . 
with regard to the amendment on working conditions , there is a directive on this issue ; on the other hand , the formulation of the amendment is not very satisfactory as the text . 
that is simply not acceptable for the islands northern and eastern scottish and neither is for the potential route from the north sea to the european continent , which i hope will be established in the not too distant future . 
i am glad that the greek government has suspended this exemption in the meantime . 
hence the commission addressed the greek government immediately the wreck of the samina express , requesting information about the application of community law in force . 
therefore , i would like to make the following question , which would appreciate that the put to the presidency . i wonder if , in addition to the abolition of friday , some have begun to delete also on thursday . 
i would like to say also that , on the part of the european union , are in place the mechanisms for that the moment the will of the people of the serbian people to be respected , i.e. at the moment that we have a government sustained by the people who have voted in the ballot box by mr kostunica , we can have : first , a immediate lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a package of economic aid which may help to the serbian people to re-establish its economy . 
perhaps decide at the moment in the streets of belgrade if the democratic change is starting now and if it can be implemented without violence . 
we condemn all the activities that can be seen as provocations , especially in relation to the holy places of jerusalem . 
and we have to tenderle hand very symbolic - as mr collins said . , mr javier solana with that meeting in zagreb . 
the strange thing is the fact that the police and the israeli army have used bullets of fragmentation , bullets that when reach the body burst in tens of shreds and they are banned internationally , even in the fights between soldiers , and which have now been used against citizens . 
i think that europe can do a great deal and must do a great deal in this direction with transparency and decision . 
consequently , we must do everything in our power to stop this fire as soon as possible . 
we must avoid the provocations as the action of ariel sharon . 
today the same thing has happened , and that is what will impede and prevented from europe , in all these years , play a mediating role in the middle east , leaving this role to the united states . 
not sacrificaremos to the serbian population in the name of our objectives elevated and moral , because this could mean the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . 
madam president , as a last point i would like to suggest that as soon as possible and as a new government yugoslav , to send a delegation from parliament in order to plan , together with the new government and yugoslavia , the reconstruction of a new serbia . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , it is clear that , today we are living probably an historic day in this parliament , the day possibly an end to one of the last pillars of dictatorship totalitarian in europe . 
mr president , poses a problem as in the dossier german for the urgent topics - i do not know if the same applies to the other language versions lingüísticas- only covers the amendments by the gue group . it lacks the proposals for a resolution and the common text . 
mr president , i should just like to draw your attention to the pile of documents that we have brought this week to vote . 
if parliament could table amendments to the council decision , certainly should like to remind you of the social problems and unemployment of croatia derived from the diet imposed on this country , but in these circumstances there is no legal basis for such amendments . 
this is the opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . 
mr president , yesterday afternoon , we talk about serbia and on the revolutionary changes are taking place there . 
for this reason , i should like to make an urgent appeal to my colleagues and , in particular to the council , that during the negotiations of next year 's budget and the later years correspond to the maximum of the commission 's proposal that , in my opinion , has done the best assessment of the total costs in croatia and also in other areas of the balkans . 
in 1990 elections were held democratic , which were considered internationally as free and fair . 
that is why yes , to this aid , economic yes , to guarantee of this , but also a strong request to the commission to fully supports this country profoundly european , now governed democratically in accordance with the rule of law and to put on the list of the accession candidates , because i believe that croatia has earned our full support . 
like the rapporteur , i wonder if in practice will be available money for this purpose , above all , bearing in mind that , in short , we need to create a broad flow monetary towards serbia and that the union budget is not going to increase . 
also delegations from croatia and our parliament asked the council to extended the mandate of the eib . 
i hope that begin as soon as possible contacts and , like to croatia , is to grant aid to the serbian people that deserves all our respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
therefore , is the spirit in which we invite women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation : tuesday and wednesday we will have a list of , and we shall harvest signatures and accession to the delegation , precisely in the spirit of establish between women bridges peace where , however , there is violence . 
in short , there has been more suffering for basques and the spanish ; yes , spanish and basque are tired of the current conflict . 
madam president , you will recall , in the last part-session , evoqué the plight of the defender of democracy british , james mawdsley , which had been illegally detained by the burmese authorities . 
madam president , in my case , it is really a point of order . 
in fact , this report apparently technical , who does not seem to bringing big changes of political order is extremely important in that , through the back door , introduces the possibility of using genetic engineering to a viticulture genetically modified . 
if we do not adopt the report , there will be postponements . 
the council of state , as you said rejected this resource and we were told in due form this desestimación . 
however , now the case is repeated and affects a colleague which , although it is ppe , does not belong to my political level in italy . 
this is why we aboguemos for the introduction of a scoreboard social , as has also been made for the internal market , with clear measures , with maximum periods and with time limits . 
madam minister , i hope that the council modelled on parliament 's expectations and i hope that at the nice summit will translated into a european social policy agenda ambitious objectives with which we can continue to work together in the years ahead . 
following the informal council meeting on " employment and social policy ' on 8 july last in paris , the presidency has asked all the actors involved - european parliament , of course , economic and social committee , cor social partners , ngos , groups and committees of the council which i communicated its proposals . 
oppose the quantitative to qualitative is a false debate and lisbon clearly established a double objective : more jobs and better quality . 
we need to promote this mobility and at the same time ensuring the safety of the journeys professionals . 
we must try to do an inventory of the gaps remain in the system and put them on the agenda . 
the open coordination is , in our opinion , the way to go , if we are going to ensure a social europe . 
the implementation of the pretensions social pregonadas in lisbon requires an effort community , an action plan for the creation of jobs in services , particularly those associated with the information society . 
obviously the cooperation of the commission is important , but the social problems have rooted local and we must manejarlos respecting the specific circumstances . 
social acted as a correction factor of the effects harmful of economic policies . 
the original commission proposal was much better unamended ; congratulations commissioner . 
anna diamantopoulou , for your excellent document . it is an agenda stubbornness and i can remember with even difficulties which we are moving in the field of social protection in the last parliamentary term . 
i believe that it will be very positive for help reconcile family and professional life of women . 
i sometimes have the impression that with the concept of modernisation is often the devaluing of social protection . 
what are the essential points of the text ? 
yet it is difficult to determine european objectives that have the same force for all member states , because the reality is different for everyone . 
the commission has presented 49 amendments . 
perhaps this is only to parliament and the commission , but , commissioner . 
another point is the increase in support of the community in judging the need for initiatives additional , including , if necessary , the transposition of legislation , equality and the fight against discrimination . 
in the past there have been good ideas , or the good plans intended to achieve equality , but it has often failed its implementation . 
it is not normal that the voice of women is acaparada by a handful of professionals in the demand live injections of public money . 
equality of men and women in civil life , which would enable women plenary enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms . 
i hope that , finally , performers men meet halfway here , too , and combat the role of gender and stereotypes trasnochados . 
i believe that in the meantime we must thank him for having followed the debate , because that was not foreseen presence during this debate . 
competition policy 
we must provides our companies optimum conditions for that to be able to plan their production and , above all its future . 
consumers must have access to a wide variety of products of high quality and at competitive prices , and in the final analysis , this is the reason for further progress with the single market and , along with this , with free competition , because benefits to all our citizens . 
is the decision of subsidise or of the decision not to subsidise , in the field of coal mineral . 
point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report speaks of greater legal security in dealing with applications fusion and shorter deadlines and effective in appeals to the courts . 
in all cases it is public companies , which must not its strength financial to a impeccably management business , but to the past and present positions monopoly . 
we need a introduction more of the citizen in the information on competition policy , so that it advise the advantages . 
these are issues of great importance to the regional economy and for employment , and i hope that in future , this is shown so that these subsidies , subsidies domestic concern the development and the regional economy and whose factor more exemplary is precisely the transport can continue to be granted . 
this communication contains three messages ambitious . 
mr evans , for his excellent report on the rules concerning state aid to the steel industry and on the eighth annual report on state aid in the european union . 
i would , therefore , like to assure mrs palacio and mr karas , as well as the other members who have spoken on these points , which the regulation is well aware of their concerns . 
otherwise we shall be doing a disservice to competition and consumers . 
the debate is closed . 
the mechanism of funding implements article 119 of the treaty on european union continues force during the third stage of economic and monetary union only for the member states are not participating in the single currency . 
mr president , commissioner , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , thank you , because today we can yet discuss the proposal for a council directive amending directive 68 / 193 / eec on trade with materials vegetative propagation of the vine and i hope , too , a vote positive tomorrow . 
some of them launched , on 5 july , the so-called of beaune , where are expressing their concern in relation to the introduction of gmos in the profession . 
the rules which provide for are incidentally favour the production of a vegetative material diversified and which offers the best health guarantees , which is fundamental to accompany effectively the restructuring of vineyards community key aspect of the new com wine and wine-growing . 
there is to say loud and clear , it was not necessary overloading the articles of this directive with references to directive 90 / 220 in the process of review less of wanting to promote to force the genetic manipulation of the vine . 
i am happy to inform you that we can also accept amendments nos 35 to 40 tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , designed to strengthen the transposition of safety requirements and management according to directive 90 / 220 . 
i would just like to point out that it is not has asked parliament to speak as such . 
madam president , with regard to the point 14 of our minutes on the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . 
i shall be more precise on the qualified majority . 
on the weighting of votes , are also on the table the two options that are well known : weighting simple for which confirms a slight , very slight , majority , or double majority , but with formulae different , dual simple majority or reponderada or a form of ' mesh size demographic " . 
moreover , without prejudice to an assessment of the needs and the coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic of yugoslavia , encomendarán jointly to the european commission and the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant to the federal republic of yugoslavia a first emergency humanitarian aid of eur 200 million . 
but , well , ladies and gentlemen , if he had to tell you spontaneous and very sincerely my impression , would like to say this : whatever the delicacy of these issues -composición of the commission and system votación- , we should not be based on this in order to gauge the failure or the success of nice . 
another positive aspect was also the adoption of the charter of fundamental rights on the part of the heads of state and government . however , mr president of the council , i cannot but remember at the same time why this was possible . 
we must not killing of aburrimiento the spirit of nice and , therefore , there is a fundamental priority in the 50 days remaining : an increase in the negotiation at political level . 
in this respect i would like also to address my colleagues in the european people 's party - and i would ask mr poettering that i escuche- because what we in this house we must defend outside . 
as we know from the actions of the prime ministers and presidents in biarritz on the most peliagudas issues of the reform of the treaty , the charter probably will be the greatest trofeo in nice . 
launching a great consultation populations , national parliaments , which will allow us to achieve a letter based truth in the needs , the council would be in truth in line with the aspirations european citizens . 
so we must make an appeal to all to return to the origins of our union , have the courage which took giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt , in deciding the election by universal suffrage of the european parliament in 1976 and in 1979 and decide that in 2009 , we shall at last have a president of the european union , president of the commission . 
in this respect , i would like to respond to what mr poettering said on the division between the countries large and small farmers . 
i refer back to with a few words to the affairs of external trade policy , because it is a matter entirely seriously . 
this is nevertheless something precious who have emphasised all the members of the european council . 
a second very positive was the adoption of the charter in its entirety . 
apart from that , it seems to me that on this crucial issue for the future of the european union and its way of decision , biarritz achieved some so many and we cannot but welcome . 
i hope that we can still convince progress to achieving results in nice . 
i quote two concrete examples : on the one hand , we shall now proceed to the right to work to the right to work and , on the other , a number of social rights included in the revised social charter of the council of europe are not on the charter . 
the debates that have been taking place in the whole of europe , including those in biarritz , it is clear that the larger member states are trying to partly to terrorise the smaller member states to reform the european union in line with the approach followed by the first and their desires . 
the discontent of the two extremes are the litmus test for the negotiators of advancing towards a fair balance . 
the leadership of the european union has not clearly formulated a vision . 
a commission which is based on criteria of representation of each of the states reveals a vision short-sighted . 
a union of this nature would be centralist and give the smaller states of the union less power than that of the system bicameral us attaches to the small american states . 
after the summit sharm-el-sheikh in which were present all the parties involved in order to find a way to stop the violence and resume the dialogue between barak and mr arafat , we have seen how difficult it is to stop the clashes , even if there was a moment that felt that it would give . 
obviously , some poor informers they say to mr barón things that are not certain regards italy and my party . 
it is important that the introduction of the european tax on energy consumption , which has so far been blocked for the application of the principle of unanimity , progress . 
we should not allow between the member states arises , the fear that we can make progress towards solutions coming to a downwards . 
in my opinion , the convention has done an excellent job and i am proud of having been a member of the same . 
in the latter case , the issue will be at which time will work this principle of the rotation strictly equal between large and small . 
enlargement to affairs really qualified majority voting , together with the codecision procedure , the conservation of article 250 , in their current form , place and the commission 's role in closer cooperation and not only on the first pillar : those are some of the elements that will enable us to judge instantly if there is , after all , success or failure . 
. ( fr ) mr president , thank you first of all to jacques , jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and fernand herman , thanks to everyone , from vaclav havel until carlo ciampi , since joschka fischer until jacques chirac , since michel barnier until pierre moscovici , since chris patten until coast simitis , including florence , and the multitude of current meps who has taken up , after 1999 , the great movement in favour of a european constitution . 
not critiquemos in excess of the europe retailers , and is a socialist which it says : has given us more wealth for all . 
let us agree at least on this objective , and because we do , say how to achieve it . 
i have had , mr president , gratifying to hear that the proposals tabled recently to the intergovernmental conference coincide substantially with all or some of the criteria which have presented . 
. ( fr ) mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you were keen to hold this morning , a debate on issues in which the house has considered it necessary to complete the opinion on the intergovernmental conference , which expressed last april . 
so , respecting the constitutional framework exists , it seems to me difficult - i warn you - foresee more that procedure consultative opinion of parliament at the outset . 
you well know , this means that we make certain political elections , a scope rather more comprehensive than the regulation of the three requirements indicated previously . 
i myself have stressed that the formula adopted to the letter was a path to explore . 
but i got perfectly well that beyond the aspect of language , your question hides another concern . 
this is also why i wanted to thank you , in the fund and the way , the initiative which you have taken . 
the implementation of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies that viniesen added to the institutions of the union . 
it is time to revise the treaties . 
the european council offends against this european consensus basic by refusing to integrate into the treaties of the european charter of fundamental rights , to give it a legal value binding and give the citizens whose rights being neglected the possibility of going to the european court of justice . 
otherwise , i believe that it will not be possible to achieve a europe of the people . 
paragraph 8 : the constitution will - and i quote - " issues have been open ' . 
so far no one has been able to explain what has changed in the meantime . 
secondly , on an agenda inadequate , who has left outside issues to be very important for the future of the union and the interest of citizenship . 
mr minister , it says that on the eve of the revolution bolshevik -acontecimiento that it was going to be very serious consequences throughout the world the orthodox church was facing awkwardness on the design of the bush corresponding to the cuaresma . 
therefore , cooperation must offer all the guarantees that the rapporteur has proposed , open to all , respecting the spirit of the treaties and without objecting to the acquis communautaire . 
however , there is a point which i should like to stress : i do not think it right to require or to be made towards the requirement of a referendum compulsory in all the member states , to adopt precisely the proposed changes . 
gil robles for his work . we have held a debate in depth on two issues which are different , are at one point . 
we are prepared to take care that vote during the november part-session , allowing adopted during the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
what do we mean by ' the introduction of the possibility of access to retirement gradually , through the part-time work ' , but a threat to the retirement age , in spite of everything already excessively high in many countries ? 
it is a well-known fact that both pensioners as children i like the mermeladas . 
i asked pensioners who sent me here to the european parliament with the pensioners ' party if they would like to drink wine genetically modified . 
or even , exceptionally , have material vegetative propagation standard when other categories are not able to satisfy the needs . 
therefore , mr president , i wonder , do variations in the labour costs are not for these reasons restriction to free competition in the european union ? 
the vote could only be , as has been , against . 
despite the progress towards greater deregulation in the european union , state aid can continue to play a constructive role in order to achieve economic and social progress . 
in order to protect the environment , public services and to ensure equality of income of the people of the regions economically weakest this aid may prove to be essential . 
we signalled the danger that also figures in the coalface of the european union aid to little avail after consolidate the control of the european union in the important state aid , with the excuse of competition in small and medium-sized enterprises . 
section vi , economic and social committee 
an examination of the timetable for implementation heading 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 of the budget to see that only an average of 8 % of all the commitments are covered by the payments corresponding . 
three years ago we put in place our initiative in favour of employment with support for the access of small and medium-sized businesses to risk capital . 
parliament is seeking to do so in two ways . 
the european institutions only have met their responsibility if this is achieved . 
in this context , i should like to thank the vice-president responsible for budgetary matters , the colleague gerhard schmid for his constructive cooperation . 
we want this committee retains its capacity for work , but we cannot allow that is the institution that less attention paid to the demands of the european parliament as part of the budgetary authority . 
that is to say that 2001 will be the last year 's budget , which is comprehensive and in this context we must assess the commission proposal and which now submitted to parliament . 
in addition , we want to revise the administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 - well 85- parliament 's committee on budgets has been making an effort to ensure that the european parliament 's procedures take account of the financial impact of the resolutions we vote in plenary . 
and i end , mr president , by thanking the diligence of the other institutions in the processing of this joint declaration . 
now they are being asked pronouncing on a budget which already was amended at first reading by the council . 
with regard to internal policies , the council left a margin prudent with heading 3 , more important that proposed by the commission . 
i would like to conclude by saying that not be given to the financial perspective the symbolic value do not have . 
an examination of the three sets of figures is obvious that there are still considerable differences , also purely quantitative and , of course , in terms of content . 
i must remind you that last year , after a long debate , was reached a new comitology decision by common agreement with the council , and i have little hope of possible reopen the debate . 
in the financial perspective agreed in berlin for the period until 2006 is foresaw 8.100 million euros for the meda programme . 
solana . i would therefore ask you to both the council and parliament 's committee on budgets to consider in foreign policy and not only in the budget when dealing with foreign policy . 
the second relates to the aid has to be supplied to the victims of human rights violations which require treatments in institutions specialised . 
if , in the course of the term that we still have been manage to reach a compromise solution to support the important work of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , we will reach an agreement ; otherwise , we keep to our position . 
we have only to look at on our television screens and see the current difficulties in the middle east for remember every day . 
i therefore hope that in tomorrow 's vote we are still able to achieve the necessary majority in favour of the monitoring centre in dublin . 
mr president , i would like to make some observations , starting with rural policy , from the perspective of the committee on agriculture . 
we have asked to approve a credit indicative of two million euros for an information campaign on the cfp . 
the commission executive must negotiate with arguments to achieve a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned , it is up promote politically this negotiation . 
today we are examining the 2001 budget to the image of the people of serbia , in our retinas . 
overall , we should like that these amendments were adopted . 
an important way in which the european citizens can ensure that raised its concerns is the recourse to the ombudsman or do petitions to parliament . 
step first parliament 's budget . 
for surprise to many of the members of my delegation , at the beginning of september , we set unanimously a basic strategy and the 400 amendments tabled by some of my colleagues , we were in a way a surprise to many of the members of the committee on budgets . 
it is hard to believe that the increase in jobs can solve the problem of management , if there is still procedures antiquated and complex in the commission and the council to deal with the many problems that exist . 
this house has repeatedly demonstrated in recent years has based its work on the principle of a rigorous austerity . 
it is not acceptable that for years speak despreocupadamente commitments and it is always promise comply with them , but when it comes to pay , then you say they are excessive and we must recortarlos a little . 
we put only a few million - can be much more - and at that time them on our promises suculentas , and then when really need it , we reject them . 
the 2001 budget , as has already happened with the of last year , there has ever had to deal with conflicts practically insoluble between pressure in favour of the consolidation and austerity , as was decided in the framework of the interinstitutional agreement in order to guarantee the financing of enlargement on the one hand and , on the other hand , the desperate need to finance the stability pact for the balkans . 
the demands of a greater performance also need more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , in its original version , which would have been able to start to change the implementation , but the majority of the committee on budgets rejected this idea . in this way , the european parliament is preparing , say what he says , to accept implicitly the position of the council . 
and in this case , the examples are , unfortunately , many : the treatment privileged partnerships with the federalist or to the many ngos with a function , a philosophy and functioning of the most controversial , to the financing of european political parties , via the amounts engullidas in the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of the member states is justified of the euro at a time when the single european currency is currently experiencing a loss of confidence largely shared by europeans , since our friends democrats until the leaders of the european central bank . 
finally , the colleague heaton-harris has shown correctly with its amendments the simpleza of many european programmes in the offers the citizen a history propaganda about european integration and which are attention , financed by the own citizen . 
furthermore , we must also modernise our administrative systems and we must continue , also a good example . 
the meda programme , devoted to the mediterranean basin , geographical area of the greatest strategic importance , is a good example of lack of implementation capacity . 
when we talk of make reductions or find funds in category 4 to finance certain priorities , we must not forget that parliament has its priorities . translated clearly in the vote in committee . 
in such a way that they must clarify this figure . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
wants to simply say that there are real elements of flexibility to move forward in this or that policy , even when any cannot or do not want to do this , and what applies to the countries of the union also applies to the candidate countries . 
i think that austria cannot complain about what has happened , the opposite . 
the recommendations of the regional organisations , as well as the experiences of the neighbouring countries will no doubt contribute to the definition of these resources . 
in the year 1984 , 0.2 % of owners in colombia possessed 32 % of the earth . 
the council is not here to comment on one or other aspect of this issue , which is extremely delicate and painful . 
at the same time , nor can commence in this way a debate on issues which are , once again , an extremely complex . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
to me , therefore , i will ensure give a definitive answer to this difficult issue . 
simply , we have him sentiment , and your reply demonstrates a little , that the presidency of the council is not shows very voluntarist when dealing with this issue . 
therefore , the entry of this tax obviously will not be void . 
i would also apologize , but we are going to apply the rules of procedure . 
however , i would ask you whether i understand that the french presidency does not intend to propose new measures for the adoption of the tobin tax , or whether i interpret that it is not a question of political will , but simply that you too , those who are sitting in the left the chamber , have reached the conclusion that it is impossible . the introduction of the tobin tax at world level is impossible . 
furthermore , pending the adoption of this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies , was taken in june 2000 , the decision to withdraw the materials that present risks with regard to these diseases in order to go any further progress in the epidemic and assure the consumer is concerned , the level highest possible of health protection . 
i have no other elements which i inform you . 
we are continuing and we are well aware of the work of the commission and the council on the erika package 1 . but , with regard to this step , which is known of both countries and known within the european union , that it is a step particularly difficult , for the through large ships to win only a few hours , with the risk of old cascarones come to encallar and to lead a disaster , i would like to know , and especially the inhabitants of corsica and sardinia , i would like to know whether it will be possible and if it is envisaged ban purely and simply the step of the straits of bonifcacio these large ships , to these major containers . 
i therefore believe that we must support , in principle , the commission 's proposals to amend staff policy . 
the budget needs new funds in cash for serbia and kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , i would like to end with this , which diminution of despite all the lines of the budget in eur 50 million to finance the peace agreement between israel and the plo . 
so , from the european parliament propose new measures , which are not directed both to seek new funding - which we already know that , in the present circumstances , it will not be possible to ejecutar- but to set new interinstitutional commitments to improve the quality of expenditure and ensure that we do not lose a euro . 
think that in european policy , as in any other area , sometimes the options moderate cease to be mainstream . 
it is designed to obscure instead of to clarify and i was disappointed with the attitude adopted today regarding the budgeting according to the activities . 
however , that the expenditure is distributed according to activities , there is also to a greater extent how the budget is seen as a political instrument where the distribution of expenditure reflects clear political priorities . 
and find then a solution multiannual , so that for the coming year and next year , once again , we do not also have to go through this discussion on how to find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . 
stakeholders in the development of a sector of agriculture sustainable have learnt that the general thrust of the recent reform agreed in berlin is a step continued support for products to direct support for farmers ' incomes . 
ladies and gentlemen , a budget is always more than a cold calculation of figures . 
finally , it is immoral , mr president , cut expenditure for agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the excluded social , and try to ensure resources intended to finance the obligations of the european union in kosovo and yugoslavia . 
it is very simple : this winter serbs cannot die of cold or hunger . 
moreover , i would like to express my concern about the fact that the various parliaments of young people have been included in the socrates programme . 
naturally , we also have to say clearly to the council that he also it is part of the responsibility with regard to the poor development of many programmes belonging to the external actions heading . 
we need solutions stable regarding these aid and , to a greater extent , to the long-term planning that is required in the western balkans . 
i believe that the majority is prepared to accept that , on condition that these resources is used properly . 
i share the rapporteur , mrs rühle the concerns and criteria has mentioned this afternoon in relation to the chapters of research and social aid . 
two weeks ago , we welcome the house joint parliamentary acp . 
at the same time , we demand that the research fund and information equip itself with budgetary resources allocated to the study of alternative products for the current tobacco farmers . 
i want to make it very clear that , in northern ireland is concerned , the union europeaha had the effect more direct and positive conceivable . 
in this model to respect the rules and procedures is guaranteed by an independent authority and , ultimately , so judges . 
in this way will be for the first time , a codecision procedure at first reading on a text that is extremely complex and full of technical difficulties associated with a sector particularly sensitive to the protection of individual freedoms . 
it is very important that have not been fundido their respective tasks . 
we know , for instance , that the schengen system has stored , over 10 million sheets which affect approximately one and a half million citizens , that europol is seeing it extend unimpeded its powers , practise centralisation the information from various police services of the fifteen member states , and this under the exclusive control authority whose power and resources are not available to enable it to fulfil really another task . 
having said this , i would like to take the presence of commissioner to say that i consider to be appropriate concern not only on the protection of citizens against the new technologies , but also with regard to the use of the same to promote the capacity of the european citizen in order to act and to interact with the european institutions . 
the amendments numbered as 1 , 2 , 4 , 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 , 58 and 60 to 64 collected the text of the council to the points on which the commission can give his agreement . 
it is clear , then , that your opinion on the legislative proposals relating to the protection of personal data will be particularly regarded in that assembles an important contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions . 
the treaty recognised in effect to the outermost regions an economic and social situation difficult , aggravated by the particular obstacles between the residence and the interaction inflict damage serious to the development of these regions . 
it will contribute to the promotion of economic and social progress through a level of employment high . 
therefore , i would like to congratulate mrs . mrs sudre , and we await with great interest to the development of rules for the commission 's proposals for that soon can be taken into account the specific features as planned in article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . 
for many europeans some outermost regions are nothing more than a tourist destination on the map . 
our levels of unemployment are among the highest in the union . 
i am pleased that the commission has adopted by a broad majority amendments i tabled . 
in my opinion , it is very important that the outermost regions are integrated into the trans-european transport networks , energy and telecommunications . 
the adoption unanimously of the members of the committee on regional policy of the report presented by our colleague margie mrs sudre represents fidelity of the european parliament to one of the most important commitments . 
we cannot discuss a whole series of circumstances , and believe that , reached that point proper and idyllic -denominémoslo -it , it will no longer be necessary to take further measures in the handling of these three areas and , especially , of the outermost regions , about which we are debating today . 
this article ladies and gentlemen does not allow us to do everything , but we can strengthen and , i believe that it is necessary , extend and improve our action . 
for the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , the commission is working obviously with the member states and regions in question . 
we know that in these regions there are difficulties persistent and i think , therefore , objectively , according to its real level of development , which will need for a long time the support of regional policy and of individual measures . 
a meeting of this type could be organised again over the year 2001 , when we get more advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . 
the presidency stated settled the matter and i accept it in full . 
i believe that parliament is right in adhere to the current provisions , because , as has been said by another colleague , it is not often a malfunction of devices of vote , but members swallow voting , and if possible corrects a vote , it would be a problem of never stop . 
there is no doubt that i am what as . 
in short , commissioner , in addition to the authority , it is necessary that the commission services responsible , in cooperation and coordination with the member states , introduce a system of controls homogenous and effective in the whole food chain and that the network of laboratories food of the european union is enhanced and to work in a coordinated way with the commission . 
in order to prevent the same scientific research repetition is being imposed collaboration with national research centres and community . 
today we are discussing a white paper , and we should define certain general principles . 
these procedures have already been modified and altered and we now have our own " food standards agency " . 
finally , we will also support some of the new amendments , without doubt , amendments nos 11 to 13 and 7 until 9 , and we want a free vote on amendment no 14 . 
in the light of this difference first of all i should like to stress that which can be guaranteed food safety depends on the solidity of the inspections carried out by the authorities , and let us not forget that the degree of soundness of the same is determined by the weakest link . 
we are dealing with an issue on which arise superficial and vacuidad of the debate that we are having on the political union of europe . 
let us hope , therefore , to the european food safety authority only experience scientific , in coordination with our national agencies . 
if we follow the trace of the progress of the main diseases from the food affecting europe at present , the majority of them did your first appearance in the americas . 
however , we must determine the conditions for convening the authority of such a way guarantee a efficient action and quickly . 
we must also point out , as has been some of the previous speakers , in particular mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is much more than any new labour regulatory of the union . 
mr president , today , i am happy , and i thank the commission , because it has begun work to improve food safety , mr bowis and the entire committee on environment , public health and consumer policy . 
i think that amendment no 17 is particularly interesting . in she says that we must consult consumer organisations . 
another aspect is the revision organic of rules on labelling for sale to the wholesale and retail that , when it comes to the traceability of products and its components , offering a correct consumer information and allow refine possible responsibilities in the case of risk or crisis . 
in my opinion , the adoption of a new legislation does not provide an adequate response to failure to comply with existing legislation . 
thanks to the vote on the environment committee we manage to restore some balance including within the scope of the problems in relation to the nutrition and a number of important references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the protection of the various eating habits . 
mr president , i should like to join with other members who have congratulated the rapporteur , mr bowis , for having handled this specific problem of a constructive way and logic . 
mr president , that the white paper on food safety in itself not magazine a legislative nature not undermines the dual value undoubtedly has . 
the rapporteur , but also many members from the commission , including myself , have put the emphasis on the food authority and , in fact , this is regrettable , in some way . 
the integrity and independence of this agency will safeguard with better guarantees the safety of european consumers . 
throughout this process , i thought repeatedly that we have been fortunate in selecting the rapporteur 's report . 
mr president , i too should like to congratulate colleague mr bowis for the remarkable effort to include all the points of view in its report , and mainly for having accepted refer to the overall concept of food . 
finally , mr president , the policy cannot evade its responsibility . 
most importantly , must win the respect of their pares , the confidence of the public and the will of the governments of the member states to accept its conclusions . 
that is how i see a food authority for the future . 
we have the world health organisation in geneva . 
i am not hiding that when it was published in the white paper i came out against this authority . 
therefore , we must ensure that the european union to have the highest possible standards of food safety , despite the fact that this approach - unanimously shared - should consider also the consequences that implies , from an economic point of view , a need productive . 
the tasks will be the following : independent scientific research , advice , controls and inspections independent , rapid alert system and coordination in order to restore the confidence . 
as acotación apart , i can say to the speakers have referred to the need for flexibility in relation to the production of specialities culinary local and typical products , that this issue is already covered in the legislation on hygiene . 
this will facilitate the task of the commission with regard to the tabling of a balanced proposal which takes account of the greatest possible number of the views of parliament and the many interested in the field of food safety . 
rather , in the past , this problem was one of the strong driving forces that , from the political point of view , was the signing of the ottawa convention . 
i reiterate my position contrary to amendments nos 10 and 19 , to be consistent budgetary and , in regard to amendment no 29 , i would ask the split vote separated to achieve a better definition of the text which i think has suffered any lack of interpretation . 
and arises here is the first question is : the need for the european union , in particular the commission will do everything possible to countries not signatories to come to sign the ottawa convention . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what the consequences have anti-personnel mines despite the fact that in individual cases often there are large justifications military . 
it was parliament that proposed for the first time in 1996 , the creation of a budget line horizontal and an appropriate legal basis that regarded a unique platform for the wide range of the speeches that we undertake in this important area . 
although i cannot conceal the fact that , of course , the powers of persuasion of the union towards this objective are limited to some extent by the difficulties that prevail in some member states to sign and ratify the convention . 
the effectiveness of the mine action will be greater if it has been produced in accordance with the specific conditions of each situation . 
as parliament knows , there are already too many and , as parliament knows , with our proposals on the reform of the community assistance to third countries we hope to desisting from the heavy individual supervision of each project and concentrate on the other hand , in our negotiations with the member states on strategies and programmes global . 
ngos have been spreading in response to the need and , however , when it is nearly four years since the first united nations conference on landmines , held in geneva and more than a year since the entry into force of the ottawa convention , we are obliged to recognise the fact that many countries and thousands of people , often in the world 's poorest regions , remain beset the terrible consequences of the antipersonnel landmines and ammunition without detonar . 
the commission should improve the quality of their programmes , as well as the speed with which the applied . 
however , i think that if you come back to give this matter serious thought we would see that some of them - at least in my opinion , have to do with the awareness-raising campaigns in transparency , with the access of the ngos , with things that work well at this stage , but that could function better . 
patten also you are right that parliament and the council should keep their hands far from the administration and i listened very carefully to the comments of mr patten on this point , because evidently believes that we must maintain our hands still further . 
mr president , our group has been active for some time in the whole range of claims and actions necessary , since the adjournment of the production , destruction of stocks , cessation of the marketing , cleaning up of minefields , rehabilitation of victims , and awareness . 
it is then to the member states support the process in international forums . 
mines are of course a major obstacle for reconstruction in these countries and for the return of refugees . 
the pace of disposal that we will take - as has been said previously - rather more than 100 years in cleaning up the planet anti-personnel mines . 
a third area i see it in concrete steps should propose examine and implement . 
every child can save from death by mines or terrible wounds in bosnia , africa , or any other place deserves the efforts of all of us . 
we must , in fact , put pressure on the european union countries have not signed , such as finland , or that they have not ratified , such as greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , look at you finland ! 
and , finally , we hope that in the context of the future tasks of the common military force european proceed to the training of technical , in particular of people who are interested in the disappearance of mines at local level . 
nor emphasises that the list of countries most seriously infected understands , fundamentally , countries of the developing world . 
parliament 's proposals could not be more guilty of inconsistency with the lisbon objectives . 
the rapporteur van lancker wants parliament to decide on the amendment of the commission proposal , mainly by adding a number of areas in which it is right to legislate and setting some rights at european level . 
for example , we would like to extend the luxembourg process , which applies to the employment policy , also to the protection and social exclusion . 
powers more important , such as germany , france , the united kingdom and , to some extent , italy , agree to draw your domination of the small countries of eastern europe and the south applying for membership of the european union . 
however , for legal reasons , we consider it wrong to make now a reference to the same in the rule 6 of the eu treaty because in the convention - according to its estructura- not can be agreed formally , so that there is no legal basis . 
the inclusion of the new text in the treaties could lead to legal confusion . 
on the other hand , the rapporteur echoes the new theory fashionable in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union : that of citizens , represented by the european parliament and the member states , represented by the council . 
we swedish social democrats and democrats have today voted against the report presented by oliver duhamel on the constitutionalising the treaties . 
for this reason , it is essential that the european union should have a constitution which includes the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution would only be meaningful if set up the democratic framework of a genuine european federation , from the united states of europe . 
told us having believed understand , agree with a large part of the political class , that preferíamos that our international relations is rigieran by an international treaty . 
. i welcome the report by mr duhamel because it makes a contribution interesting and constructive to the idea of constitutionalising the treaties . 
we believe that a reorganization of the treaties and their simplification would allow the citizens see quite clearly the field of competence of the eu - and its limits - and the procedures to exercise these powers . 
until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe was a supersindicato intergovernmental . 
the edd group is voting against the report presented by josé maría gil-robles gil-delgado on closer cooperation . 
this report evidence , in fact , the concept of a union very monolithic , where all the cooperation should be expressed in the ' single institutional framework " and where all should be directed towards the objective of the super-state . 
it is therefore necessary to avoid reducing the progress of the whole and , therefore , authorising certain member states to make progress , developing the mechanism of strengthened cooperation . 
the structures for which govern the operation of the internal market have been a success since the beginning of the 1990s . 
. ( nl ) the european cooperation can be useful to cross-border problems . 
these areas could build a formidable laboratory in terms of sustainable development . 
the technocrats , european judges - wished to delete that " the rate of docks ' , which seeks to resources to our municipalities of the french overseas departments and , above all , protects our craftsmen . 
france , for their own part , has overseas departments in the indian ocean and the caribbean . 
its independence will be an essential element for the credibility of this body . 
our vote has clarified , therefore , the role of the composition of the future european authority , but also defined our demands on their funding and its independence . 
secondly , the european agency should be completely independent . 
it is necessary to take into account the type of farming methods and agri-industrial , the problem of imports of goods food , the composition of the ingredients in animal feed , the maximum levels of dioxins and residues of pesticides , food additives and others , giving priority to food safety . 
we have voted in favour of amendment no 15 as it defend vigorously the defence of the european cultural heritage linked to the local food production . 
i would like to make two requests . a my colleagues in the committee on agriculture that have tabled nearly 30 amendments . 
we also want to earmark a 50 % of the appropriations in the budget line and another 50 % in reserve . 
i note here that there are proposals to reduce the budget . 
report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the draft general budget of the european union for the year 2001 - section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) 
madam president , my name appears as a signatory of a number of amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the real surprise this budget deals with external actions where dominates the selfishness and meanness . 
it is also possible releasing money through the use of the instruments of flexibility . 
. ( el ) i voted against the haug report , in the same way that i voted in favour of my group 's proposal to reject the budget for 2001 . 
we refer in particular to the new pilot project to be funded actions of information in the fight against paedophilia . 
this shows fehacientemente low motivation aroused by the european union project , even between citizens politically active . 
in this way , 20 to 30 % of the markets will offer again to competition private . 
given that all this is not guaranteed with this report , i voted against the same , 
with the unacceptably low thresholds national diezman subsidies - in combination with the proposed cuts the ceiling of withdrawals to 5 % for the citrus fruit , the 8.5 % for apples and pears , and the 10 % for the rest of fruit and hortalizas- , makes it clear that , for huge quantities of fruit and vegetables provides , pudrirán in the fields , and in repairers cooperatives , there will be no market opportunity , with the result lowering general prices . in this way farmers will be desperately forced to grubbing-up of their crops . 
i voted in favour of this report because it is up to the hopes of organisations portuguese of the sector hortofrutícula , which have claimed a change drastic of the com in fruit and products vegetable by find it deeply lesiva for national interests . 
report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
the root of the problem lies in the sacrifice of all , even the quality of environmental and climate , on the altar of capitalist exploitation of productive resources and completing the maximum benefit . 
in kyoto , it was agreed that the richer countries is address clean their air , but also that they can record of limited form in their own scoreboard emissions produced in other parties who have helped to reduce . 
. ( fr ) the fight against the greenhouse effect is an element of vital importance to the industrialised countries , and especially a duty towards the peoples of the third world already pay with their lives the consequences of climate change . 
the art of live consists in convivir sensibly with these risks and uncertainties . 
should the same way guaranteed and redoblarse efforts to establish what substances suspected of being endocrine disrupters ( . e . 
the consumer and smes are not enough of the internal market , which is supplemented with the introduction of the euro . 
after all , the banks are forced to date by the member states to report to its central bank cross-border payments that exceed 12 500 euros , with a view to the statistics relating to the balance of payments . 
of course , requires these companies the same strict standards in the area prudential and money laundering . 
we know even cases in which the committees for cross-border transfers have increased with the introduction of the euro , and not only in a small amount . 
the european central bank could contribute applying a format of data unified european in transactions of payments and the use of a identification code banking uniform at european level within the international system iban . 
it is crucial that consumers acceptance of the euro . 
madam president , mrs peijs ' report on retail payments in the internal market , it repeats the former vindication of the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border transfers within the union . 
the peijs report is so in recital d of the draft resolution , i will quote : " the high expenditure connected with cross-border transfers are harmful to the consumer confidence in the euro ' . 
therefore , we need much still to be done in this area , but resources and means that we have politicians in this respect are much smaller than those existing in connection with this issue of payments in the internal market . 
the market of the euro will be in future an internal market , and the citizen does not understand that , in this area in which disappear risks of change and the means of payment electronic through banking of the internet in everyday life , a transfer of munich to salzburg is much more costly than a transfer of munich to kiel . 
achieving this objective we will still many years of work to us and to you . 
in this opportunity , also deal with the reduction of the term to make cross-border transfers , issue on which has been insisted on the report by mrs peijs . 
the debate is closed . 
however appears to be a good policy the prefer a pragmatic approach , and proximity that puts small businesses in the heart of the device , more than a proposal which , on the pretext of prevent small measures desultory , it would serve only to create statistics whose use specific would be perfectly impossible . 
however , i would like to make three comments on this programme . 
let us remember that the first programme of community action in this area was adopted in 1983 , i.e. seventeen years . 
similarly , i have always been in favour of this based on a policy efficient and pragmatic . 
i would say that are true extent of economic and innovation , they are in the first line and are exposed to risks that this entails . 
at the end we must bear in mind the results of the work of symposium ' science and government " which took place last week in brussels under the aegis of the centre of prospective technological seville , as well as the monitoring of this symposium , because there are many interference with the subject we are discussing today . 
the rapporteur mentions a number of priorities in order to strengthen the european business climate . 
this is extremely important for europe , because it can provide rapid assistance , adequate and technically correct . 
mr president , i too would like to thank mrs maij-weggen . montfort for their excellent work . 
it is important to strike the right balance , to avoid a situation continued people fail at the expense of other people . 
this is not justice and , therefore , i support this report . 
this is also the guiding principle of the charter for small businesses . 
the programme will ensure that networks offer this information . 
it is clear that fundamental objective of the plan is to limit the emigration towards countries of the european union , as well as repatriate to few people are smuggled into the european union . 
i stress in particular , the need to take steps to improve the internal security , for the reinforcement of the dialogue between europeans and local authorities albanian and , as regards the commission and the council , to the impulse of specific actions in cooperation with the albanian authorities italian and greek . 
the poor situation social , economic and political in combination with lack or with the inadequate legal certainty and organised crime , lead to migration massive . 
mr president , unlike mrs pack , i think that the more groups dealing with albania better . 
it is clear that it is not possible to find an immediate solution to the whole of this problem , but , in a period not very long , we will have to create a world reasonably fair , safe and prospects . 
there is also a chasm between the donors , all of us , europe , the united states , which we money , we have projects and similar issues , and the people themselves that is on the ground . 
we therefore bilateral agreements which so clear and legal fixing the work of the time and place of residence , wages , the hours , working conditions and social security , so that the immigrants can be as a force at the service of the economies of our countries and contribute to the friendship and cooperation between the peoples and not to grow aspirations nationalists and of the time of the cold war . 
it repatría to people who have integrated properly . 
the point of attention must not lie in modes of halt the flow of migrants and refugees , but in how to improve the living conditions of the area so that people can remain in their homes . 
mr president , i too believe that , as he has said , mr dimitrakopoulos , with regard to the difficulties in albania - economic , social and internal security - remains the central issue of help in that country to restore the rule of law , to give security to the citizens and to restore the authority of the institutions and local administrations . 
i share the opinion of the colleague liese that we need a burden-sharing in the field of asylum and refugee policy . 
the action plan for albania and the neighbouring region was adopted in june this year , and it is therefore the sixth of series . 
to ratos is being imposed frustration , and also the shocked to european law , and we want to appeal to this parliament , but also to the other community institutions , not to shy away from the efforts of the thorough work , work with precision and made available for this time and the staff necessary . 
with this report , we want to send out to the citizens of the message that we take seriously the complaints about the poor quality of legislation and on the suprarregionalización and centralization . 
it is in itself a matter is quite important , of course , although one would not say so judging by the reduced assistance to discuss more detail on this issue . 
another matter of vital importance is that the report raises the issue of subsidiarity , to some extent is controversial this afternoon in this house . 
it would also be interesting to make a study of the current situation of the legislation in the light of this principle , to make it simpler , more transparent , more efficient and more relevant basin by freeing itself from the texts superfluous , as suggests you this paragraph 6 of this report . 
having studied the report very carefully , i have reached the conclusion that it is not even a political principle : it is a principle theological . 
in other words , we must ensure that the recognition of the principle of subsidiarity also communities smaller , to the realities autonomous , to the cruxes intermediate , to the cruxes social , families and the citizens who are the only real sovereign an action legislative and administrative . 
let me , therefore , give a vision synthesis . 
i shall give the floor to mr commissioner . 
is this an area in which we must intervene and draw up a detailed legislation to guarantee that it implantará everywhere , or should we consider as an alternative a voluntary agreement has been fulfilled and to control ? 
- ( de ) i voted in favour of the report , although i did not get the adoption of certain amendments because is the question of the high costs of change and transfers in the euro zone 
when in 15 months ' time we have , even the same coins and notes the eleven member states to become more expensive to draw this money uniform outside the country in which they live . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must start by regretting that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , cannot be here today . 
it has to be an agreement advancing cooperation in fisheries and the moroccan fisheries sector , but which satisfies also fully the fishing interests of the european fleets . 
consequently , we have reached a consensus to work from the perspective of a cooperation responsible , following which morocco will express its views at a meeting which , as you indicated , will be held in brussels on 30 october , is to say , on monday . 
a few weeks ago , i was myself in algeciras , in the coasts of southern spain . is not very far from morocco . 
the time , in its future , we enseñó also difficult to could become impossible . 
by means of the fisheries agreements , the union can exercise fishing activities and exchange fishing rights with third countries . 
i read in a magazine swedish specialises in fisheries that one of these vessels desembarca its burden on the aaiún , described as a port moroccan . 
all this is at stake . are in danger all our fisheries agreements , not only with morocco because they are also mauritania and shortly guinea , among others . 
eleven months has been slow in coming to the turning point on which we , the meeting of the day 30 and , in this respect , we also know assess the latest measures of commissioner fischler , the results of their journey of the last day 26 to morocco and the interviews high-level held , even with the own king . 
but i would like to convey to the commission , represented today worthily by commissioner busquin , messages very brief . 
my question to the commission is : if we do not achieve an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement to be held in the terms identified by the commission , an agreement which will stimulate production moroccan , does the commission intend to take structural measures to compensate for the delay is going to happen in the affected regions ? 
as imaginábamos , the difficulties in negotiations with the moroccan authorities have been very great . 
finally , in the undesirable if fail , the negotiations , the union has the political and moral duty to support the fishermen and the owners with aid satisfactory that they ensure means of subsistence . 
we must dismantle the over-capacity of the eu fishing industry . 
that is why we need as quickly as possible closer economic and political relations with marruecossin prejudice to the imposition of our european interests in the area of fishing . 
that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new cooperation aimed at a development which is of interest to both sides and enable , on the one hand , the integrated development of the moroccan fisheries sector , the fleet , aquaculture , transformation commercial and research , and on the other hand , the granting of fishing opportunities to european fishermen . 
rights of teachers of languages 
' not only in german , there is a clear difference between the two formulations . 
in july 1999 , the commission took this infringement procedure before the court of justice . 
therefore , at least achieve harmonize systems - something which we hope - today , respecting the principle of subsidiarity must not allow it to be done pass through discrimination which probably is the request of a privilege . 
perhaps we can accept that the previous commission under the direction of mr santer were not the best , this is why disbanded . 
members of the committee on juridicos and the internal market across the union , and all the parties have been united to say that there is no point in talking about rights , support letters of rights , if in real examples in the refuses the rights to certain people are not taken real action to be recognised and applied , and this is the problem in this case . 
this is absolutely unacceptable in a modern europe . 
of course , the field of education falls within subsidiarity , but within the framework of contracts , freedom of movement of workers and the ban on discrimination concern us all , even though we are in favour - and i particularly , because i come from a federal state - the principle of subsidiarity as a principle computer cooperation in the european union , and that the distribution of competences between the different levels of europe is orderly according to the princio of subsidiarity as quickly as possible . 
in this context , because we cannot talk of discrimination . 
mr president , do you would be dealt with by an expert on the terms surgical in italian , english , french , german or by a surgeon ? 
( the sitting was closed at the 10.56 hours . ) 
we want to assure you of our deep sympathy . 
i give the floor to mr ceyhun , which is referred to as rapporteur , on behalf of the socialist group . 
with regard to the council and commission statements on the third asia-europe meeting , the council has informed us that he does not wish to speak at the moment . 
it is therefore an issue which , in the role of the treaties and in view of the euratom treaty , is the responsibility of the commission ; it affects , or can affect , many citizens are not only spanish because in this area and in their area , without any contingency plan , there are hundreds of thousands of european citizens from the fifteen countries of the union , apart from many coming from outside , because it is the coast of the sun . 
madam president , it is sad , but very illustrative learn through the minister for internal spanish , mr mayor oreja , that there is any possibility of dialogue with basque nationalists , even if in future there were a new truce . 
i would ask that take account of this week a affirmation of the commission on the british government 's decision to introduce a tribute discriminatory nature for carriers of nationality is not a british one . 
given that the parties so-called liberals , even europeans are tending increasingly to aliarse forces of inspiration xenophobic , racist , authoritarian , i believe that this is a serious risk not only for italy , but it is also a sign that affects the whole of europe . 
now , in the report also includes critical comments to the french proposal . 
these demands are incorporated in amendments nos 2 and 4 mrs karamanou 's report . 
the initiative of the french presidency that we are discussing today is intended to improve the two agreements general judicial assistance in criminal matters - that have just mentioned - in particular in the fight against money laundering . 
i can only say that if the idea of the fight against money laundering is adversely , blame will be of the council and not of parliament . 
we can only congratulate them on this work . 
marinho - and i , too , agree - the road is communitisation . 
all the speakers agree that this is an initiative very valuable and we support their statements . 
what we need is to be given to europol operational capacity to act cross-border . 
cases that are too many common in our current europe . therefore , before lend my support to a rushed furor of checks mutual of judgements , i would like to see a recognition whole standards fair . 
i understand that it is very difficult because here we have to build on the basis of a dispersal of instruments . 
but is also a need in order to strengthen the economic area of the european union , and it is also a desire of the people , whom we have to be , because the citizens of the union have a right to security . 
in the european union must continue to carrying out a fight persistent against money laundering , aware that , especially after the creation of the single market and the liberalisation of the capital markets and financial services , there is a police and judicial cooperation effective between the member states , as effective as possible . 
as consultant financial , nothing authorizes suppose that the lawyer , as such , is not practising their profession . 
similarly , i would like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the matter raised by a number of members about the conditions in the confidentiality of the legal professions may constitute a rejection founded to cooperation in the field of justice in the fight against money laundering . 
this is true , especially in the case of serious crimes , crimes especially serious and cross-border issues . 
overall , the task is so great and so important that cannot be done only by the council . 
therefore we need to strengthen the rights of citizens adopting an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly with regard to its right of interpretation and its power to decide whether or not . 
therefore , while merit my support for greater cooperation and coordination , i believe that see this as a legal system would be a wrong decision and we will oppose it . 
the second point is also interesting . 
this is something positive , and it is heartening to see that it has both support in this parliament . 
i shall take this oportunidad- because a number of members have raised issues very sensitive to tell you quite frankly , as has just said , mr coelho , that this initiative seems to us , first and foremost , be a first initiative which shows the political will of the council to overcome the delay in the area of judicial cooperation , with regard to police cooperation . 
so i think it is also as an important instrument for guaranteeing the judicial control of europol . 
the programme fair on the research in the fisheries sector of agriculture and agro-industria was part of the fourth research framework programme , which widened from 1994 to 1998 . 
with regard to the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that have been acknowledged some problems relating to the organisation of the programme . 
the court of auditors ' report on the programme fair , in which to base the report of the rapporteur , not been published in march of this year , although the letters of sector were sent to the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . 
on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to highlight several points . 
you emphasised , and i thank you , the spirit within which was drafted this report , thanks to the dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission services and the interest which you expressed . 
this shows that the commission does not stayed dormant and which led to effect the comments which you have raised . 
i now come to the question that mrs . 
thank you , commissioner . 
this prize will be handed over the partnership ' enough is enough ' in the sitting december next . 
i believe deeply with it also opens the constitutional process that this house has demanded many times and with such insistence , although some heads of state and government do not want to acknowledge that . 
i am particularly happy to be before you today to discuss in depth a beautiful project as is the charter of fundamental rights of the european union , before you take the final position on this text . 
for my part , i have no doubt that this time will be presented . 
it is true , however , that there have been able to make some criticisms about the content of the charter . 
i believe that this is an important position and i welcome . 
for the parliament was a great success ensure - and the groups did shoulder on this aspect , which is a result positivo- that the european parliament were represented by 16 members in the convention on fundamental rights . 
the charter which is being presented today is in my view a great challenge and can become the card presentation of europe , as pointed out a great european daily in a headline on 26 september 2000 . 
my group , therefore , continues to believe that it is absolutely essential to include a reference to the charter in paragraph 2 of article 6 of the treaty . 
were many who felt that europe had at long last the opportunity to escape the only area of free trade and the treadmill liberal to lay the foundations of a europe of citizens . 
in the european summit in nice in december , civil society has decided to mobilise themselves in order to make its voice heard and proclaim their desire for a charter which offers genuine guarantees for the citizens of europe . 
that is why , in addition to the signatures , it is important that there are political commitments effective , compliments day to day - every day - for all the states and by all political forces . 
then lloremos or take a view to be happy , we are holding this great event that it is a major event vacuo . 
the convention has done an excellent job . 
they are at the same time , the rights of the person , the citizen 's rights , but also the social rights . 
the right to good administration , to referred mrs malmström , is one of the progress more important . 
i am still not sure , because i have not had the news on this subject as to what extent will freedom the lebreles of mr blair to speak clearly in favour of this brilliant project . 
the last time , you talked about the glass half empty or half full . 
but the council of cologne , assisted by the house , who has played wonderful its role of sembrador confusion , has ended up by make us forget to everyone that this is the responsibility of the national parliaments and that these are still underused , to be displaced gradually . 
a surplus of protection in terms of fundamental rights is just as bad as a deficit . 
when one listens to the speeches of some members , you realise that information is more necessary than ever . 
the great question that now divides us is for what purpose this charter . 
therefore , once again we are dismayed and dissatisfied . true , we will vote in favour of the charter , but in the spirit of the fact that this will not achieve mobilise this enthusiasm and that the participation of the citizens , so necessary for europe and , as usual , will be the governments - and some governments more than others - to shoulder the historic responsibility of this . 
according to the co-rapporteur , mr duff , this is an important step towards improving the quality of european integration . 
for those who need it , i recommend that they read the explanations of the convention 49 and the squared law of the two courts associated with the charter . 
mr president , i have long been of those who are hesitant . 
for the first time since the creation of the european union , we are faced with the foundations of a constitution , a constitution for the supranational structure which builds the union . 
the demonstration is in favour of a social and democratic europe , in favour of a europe of citizens . 
the draft charter can be used for the moment , as a text of discussion interesting on the future of the cooperation between the peoples of europe for the parties , unions , environmental organisations , churches and many other groups in the member states and the candidate countries of the union . 
i would like to highlight three aspects that my colleagues have addressed already here throughout this morning . 
the letter that today we are going to adopt both reinforces as ago visible fundamental rights and common values on which will be based our community . 
i one , of course , those and those who wish to include in article 6 a reference to the charter and their integration later in the treaties . 
we have already seen the case of bernard connolly whose paper critical on the commission was withdrawn by order of the court of first instance . 
this synthesis is important from the time when the union must establish the legal status , in terms of rights and obligations of the natural of third countries who are legally in the european union . 
personally , i am convinced like him that , on the one hand , will have effects only immediate and which , moreover , it will be binding in the near future . 
during this debate , i have heard formulae forceful : the charter would be an example for the dog -siendo the dog the european parliament or the taparrabo of the renunciations of a french presidency moribunda , mainly in the form of bring the igc . 
this is the reason which led our parliament to propose the implementation of a forum euroturco , meeting in a deep reflection representatives qualified of the turkish community and to the european parliament that have received the mandate . 
it has been a great temptation to establish conditions type seudodemocrático to the granting of loans to turkey , but , as regards this report has not been technical possibilities for this . 
once raised this , i know , of course , that the candidacy of turkey remains in some questions . 
the wish of the presidency is that this project will be adopted rapidly , if possible , in fact 20 november , for the next council of ' general affairs ' , and as i have already indicated , respecting the decisions very precise taken in helsinki . 
however , is still valid what demonstrates very clearly the commission in its report on the progress made in the road to accession : turkey , like all the other candidate countries must comply with the copenhagen criteria as part of the process of rapprochement . 
the president sezar expressed very clearly in his speech to the turkish parliament last month why also from the point of view of turkey there is no alternative but to follow this path of reform . i fully agree with the words of the president turco . 
thank you for your attention . 
in this case have been issued noises slightly positive . 
we are going to oppose the attempts of some of them rather espúreos , derail the balance that the report successful with success , particularly the amendments which seek to make the european parliament a court in the past . 
there is a clear clear , as it is clear that turkey will have , like any civilised society , to be done to the idea to face their past , for very horrific that this has been . 
the accession of turkey on this basis , and not only on strategic considerations of the united states or of nato enriquecería to the european union and would constitute a significant step towards a united europe . 
do we no longer considers that only a small part of the turkish territory is part of the european continent ? 
we will vote therefore against this report , as we have voted against all the reports aimed at helping turkey to the european union . 
the prejudice lies , above all , that this wrongly gave in turkey the prospect of a accession which , however , we cannot keep due to the political situation . 
report ( a5-0310 / 2000 ) by mrs langenhagen , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , on the special report no 9 / 99 of the court of auditors on the actions of research in the field of agriculture and fisheries : programme fair ( ' fisheries , agriculture & agro-industrial research ' ) , accompanied by the responses of the commission ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ) 
i welcome this report and i shall vote in favour of it . 
instead of increasing the human rights and social rights , it will facilitate operations aimed at downgrade its level . 
there is no doubt that their final destination is to be the preamble to a future european constitution which , in turn , will be the crowning glory of the progress of the european union in the federalización where , already form legislada , will take the decisions the few powerful and all the apply . the main aim is to serve the interests of capital monopolies of the european union , at the expense of the interests of workers and , in general , of peoples . 
a typical case appears in article 2-2 , " no one can be condemned to death and executed " . 
nowhere is it says , despite our demands , that the family consists of a man and a woman educan some children and that is the cell fundamental of society . 
in that nobody has chosen judges , that is a reduction in the democratic government . 
. certainly , i would have preferred that were directly integrated into our european treaties ! 
however , i abstained in the final vote , because i believe that certain social rights are formulated a bit less franc that economic rights . 
the initial idea of the convention was to have a text consensual enabling the fifteen governments into a binding through its incorporation into the treaties . 
in fact , the fight against social exclusion is a thing of the rank of assistance , instead of imposing the requirement of basic rights binding for employers and for states . 
for my part , i am convinced that secularism is a value emancipador and topical . 
also lack the homework related social ownership . 
obviously , this document is not relevant to become binding , because it is not a legal text . 
members of the irish government have raised recently questions about whether brussels threat irish identity and mr ahern , while stated the accession of ireland to the eu as essential for its prosperity and economic success , it is standing up firmly any move quickly to a europe that is more federal -centralizada- , because rebasaría largely what the majority of europeans want - or are prepared to aceptar- today . 
adivinen which of the two has been imposed . 
i would emphasise step that during this session , a total of seven reports are caused by national initiatives , which shows that this system , where there is , is basically very productive . 
these measures voluntarist are absolutely indispensable to combat this phenomenon , which has not stopped to develop and internacionalizarse . 
through this initiative , the french presidency proposes the adoption of a framework decision in order to approximation of legislation and criminal procedures money-laundering ( for example , comb , freeze and confiscate the funds ) . 
all the member states must define the laundering as a criminal offence punished as minimum with a sentence of four years of imprisonment . 
as money laundering is vast proportions in the world , it is clear that europol should have powers to combat it with a view to devise a european strategy on police and judicial cooperation . 
i welcome the report of mrs roure on other initiative of the french presidency : this time designed to intensify cooperation in the field legal to ensure that should not be obstacles to prevent the extradition of criminals accused of laundering or other offences which involve the use of funds unlawful . 
madam president , this is the only report that i did not support . 
it would be the first member geographically linked with asia and a great tradition muslim . 
this applies particularly at this stage in which increasingly we use the money eib but without cover completely the economic risks which we take . 
in this context , i would stress the basic conclusion article 22 which says that turkey does not fulfil the copenhagen political criteria and i note the amount of condemnations of their actions and its omissions in the field of human rights , democratic freedoms and behaviour international as recommendations relating to the european parliament to this country to enter into european values due . 
mr president , we worries the fact that not be heard in these days any persistence in this direction on the part of the press and of the individuals turkish , but rather there is an attempt reaction . 
nicosia is today , twelve years after the fall of the berlin wall , the only european capital divided . 
morillon- that this is not yet fulfill in a sufficient degree and that turkey must continue to perseverando in their efforts . 
mr president , mr president-in-office , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i wish to take the floor in this debate in my capacity as rapporteur for the accession of cyprus . 
mr president , we cannot vote in favour of the morillon report because we are sure that , contrary to what it says , and many in turkey expect this now , as the accession process is not going to improve the lives of the peoples . 
but , at the same time , i do not think that we must pintarse the situation too slick . 
therefore , there is a link internal between the two . 
conferences euro-mediterranean in marseille 
mr brok , who joined us , wondered precisely for the delays incurred for negotiation . 
we europeans experience to be exploited . 
in fact , it is not only , as in 1995 , restore a balance in eastern europe , but also prepare for the future enlargement of the union . 
xenophobia , state terrorism and other forms of terrorism are also of this commitment , and i hope that we will have an opportunity to straightening out the situation in this aspect . 
this is a fact that we must tackle . 
but in this respect we have to be candid once more . 
all this means recognising the improper of the results so far , despite the fact that the answers , in my opinion , are still not equal to the situation , but we must say that five years are not many for processes extremely complex . 
that is why i believe that today 's debate can be used to take stock of the importance of this policy for the whole of the union . 
this is not about all these needs compete among themselves , but we have new funds . 
the mechanism of the violence in the middle east , the war unleashed with violence and determination on the palestinian population , which israel continues to refuse to right to be a state , threaten the future of the whole region . 
mr president , as well as in nice , the european union has to strike a balance between the deepening and widening , in marseilles should achieve a balanced relationship between its role european and its responsibility mediterranean . 
however , in balance sheets are prodigan these days of five years of the barcelona process makes the idea that we can be satisfied by the simple continuity of the process , for the fact that there has been ministerial meetings with presence of representatives of israel , of the palestinian authority , syria , lebanon , etc. and is perhaps a consolation . 
there are many common problems today affecting the euro-mediterranean region : illegal immigration , poverty , the external debt , human rights , drought and terrorism , which destroys mercilessly human life and families innocent , as tragically we are experiencing in spain , algeria or in the next middle east . 
we are prepared to creerles , but the countries of the south need promises or speeches : it is up to us atenderlos . 
europe has made no policy in the field of desertification or water benefactora of the mediterranean countries and we must give thought to make a environment policy mediterranean , which understands the activities , the logical and even climatic diversity of the mediterranean . 
the current proposals are much more balanced . 
now , the agency for kosovo . 
we must not disappoint their expectations and now more than ever , all these countries need our help . 
i will conclude by saying - i repeat , hence , the words of the commission - that these two proposals are the cornerstones of a process which must lead to these countries have had and have as many problems can be fully integrated into european structures . 
in future we must concentrate the responsibility of a few people or in a director , if you like , so that a person assumes really responsibility to the body which selected the specific programmes . 
i should also like to thank you , therefore , to all the colleagues who have felt that it is important to have this objective and i am pleased that in future we can contribute more to these countries in this context , also as regards the content . 
i read in some news relating to the elections bosnias that the ultranacionalistas had won the parliamentary elections in bosnia and herzegovina . 
the european union - and as you know - has participated with determination to contribute to these historic changes . 
the examination of the reports westendorp and lagendijk on the proposals for regulations , one the framework programme and the other , to the european agency for reconstruction gives us the opportunity to discuss on the scale of the support which the union wants to give the western balkans , in order to accompany the stabilisation and association process . 
the victory long-overdue of democracy in croatia , then in the federal republic of yugoslavia , imposes , as we know , the european union go much further . 
question time ( council ) 
as they deal with the same subject , questions nos 2 and no 3 will be taken together . 
has just given to the parts a new period of four months - the resolution 1324- to endeavour to make progress in both these fronts . 
i would like to ask what the situation is the association agreement with morocco . 
- ( fr ) the stability and development of the caucasus represent one of the strategic priorities of the union . 
as regards the discussions with turkey , we are an important debate on this issue and you know exactly the positions of the european union on this issue . 
i would just like the minister will insist that this proposed legislation is directed against those who exploit and benefit from people who are in a desperate situation and not seeks to criminalise the immigrant or the immigrant potential . 
not only require laws , but also measures to encourage the debate and to raise awareness . 
i believe that , in effect , we must fight against these crimes by all means , absolutely all the means , and i note that both the council of the union as the united nations general assembly and , in my opinion , the turkish government , are prepared to do so . 
in any case , measures were taken precisely because the other 14 countries the desaprobaban . 
i will give you an example : if tomorrow in my country , france - and here i am speaking in my capacity as ministro- came to power a party of the extreme right , i would like us to be taken against my country measures of the kind that were taken against austria . 
for my part , i want to talk about values : i spoke of values as laid down in our texts , i spoke of values as has been reiterated in the charter of fundamental rights , and i spoke in particular , it is true of the fight against all forms of discrimination , which is enshrined in the forefront of the european texts . that is what we must do respected . 
i would remind you that this political dialogue is the couple of the future accession partnership , one of the elements of the pre-accession strategy for turkey defined on this occasion . 
question no 12 by ( h-0850 / 00 ) : 
we are working on this , and this is without doubt , the path that we continue . 
in this connection , we must recognize that the moroccan side has not responded to the supply of the community . 
it is people of scotland , where , after 110 days of detention , any person accused of a crime should be judged or release and can never be a return to acusarla of this crime . 
what measures have been taken specific ( for example , security of supply , energy efficiency ) if the economies of the member states consumers less of the crisis external ? what are the measures and the council 's priorities in the short and medium term in regard to the energy efficiency and energy savings ? 
the union 's position on the extraterritorial measures decretadas by the united states has not changed . 
finally , i remembered that the european union took note with concern the comments made on the ground for the agencies and programmes of the united nations and , therefore , deploraba the negative consequences and often dramatic of the economic embargo for the cuban people . 
do not understand the council that is a problem . extremely political and cannot observe the same distances in relation to the victim and the priest ? 
on the one hand , this office covers the decision of the committee on decentralised , and on the other , it can submit results exceptional in the work that he does . 
they do not respect borders . it is our duty to combat illegal activities cross-border : trafficking of drugs , cooperation criminal or trafficking in human beings . 
and it would be right that the commissioner , mr patten , who has a great deal of experience - not to call it wisdom - in the management of international crises , outside the headquarters of this office together with the visits which has done different regions of the balkans , which was thessaloniki , to see how it works in this service . 
but this region , the region more atormentada of europe , has never been so full of hope as today . 
first of all , i would like to thank the house for its excellent and rapid consideration of the drafts of the regulations . i would like to congratulate the rapporteurs of the relevant committees : firstly to mr . 
we have also had immediate results in serbia , where the commission , in the course of only four weeks , drew up a programme of emergency aid amounting to eur 200 million . 
of course , we can also accept the proposal that the directive to adopt the commission reflects the search for more efficiency stressed in our reforms . 
i hope that parliament understands the sense of the proposals presented in may and will continue to work constructively with other on this difficult and complex issue , but i cannot give my support to the amendment of parliament to remove the requirement of unanimity , because conflicts with the opinion of the college of quaestors . 
the challenge for the third summit seoul was deepen the asem process both for the participants governmental and for the wider public . 
in the field of the relationship between peoples related to the previous kept the principle of open up the process of asem to a segment greater of civil society , although the initiative of the ngos to establish a social forum is not possible to carry out because of the opposition of a number of participants asians . 
from this point of view we are glad that has been held the summit seoul and that except one or two exceptions to all the heads of state attend to it . 
they have even made two concrete proposals , namely a round table on globalisation and the duo fellowship program , 4300 fellowships to a value of 25 million dollars americans . 
the commission communication is limited to deal with the aspects relating to the powers which correspond to the community and the member states in the tasks arising from participation in the same . 
if we are assuming that all the coastal states that there are in the world are poquísimos those who have the potential economic , legal , legislative and political has the european union , you will understand the extent to which we must ask ourselves what is our responsibility . 
the reform of the cfp is important , but achieve suitable reforms is even more important . 
i am thinking of the many stocks migration . 
we are all well aware of it throughout the european union and even beyond its borders . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , first of all i would like to thank you for your support for our efforts to foster and strengthen the community 's participation in regional fisheries organisations . 
but in this area has already been achieved some progress , we need to adjust the timetable . 
in fact , the constant improvement in productivity of the nurseries generates a growth of supply and if it should be accompanied by a enlargement without limits of the apparatus of production , it would lead to once again , inevitably , a strong market imbalance . 
it would be much more important that instead each criador of pigs was begun to appreciate as their own reserve . therefore , every criador pig would have its own piggy bank . 
also refers to the need to promote producers ' organisations , whose implementation differs greatly from one member state to another . 
organisations of the markets , as they have worked so far , fomentaban the process of concentration in place to stop this happening . 
in this case the globalization of the economy becomes trap , and this has nothing to do with crisis cyclical . 
all criador , regardless of where is in the union can eligible under this mechanism . 
mr president , commissioner , the rapporteur , mr garot , addressed in a objectivity and with very precisely this commission proposal on the creation of funds for the pigmeat sector . 
it is a matter of balance . 
in this respect , i must say , however , that mr garot is another conclusion and that i , too , almost i can say yes , i can be almost agree with the commission proposal as it is , but let us be honest , really is not included in it the essence of the problem . 
i now turn to the idea of including the fatteners specialising in piglets in the proposed system , as formulated in amendments nos 7 and 13 . 
so what is what we have been presented by the commission ? 
firstly , looking at the budgetary implementation and the practices of management of the budget within the headings specific . 
the court reiterates , therefore , your comments in previous years on the negative consequences of these practices , such as , for example , decision-making unsatisfactory and hasty , the risk of making mistakes which represents the heavy burden of work , and so on . 
the tragic events of recent past has shown , quite clearly , the growing importance of the issues of management and control of the european agenda . 
this means penalising the member states aware and recompensed financially to the less scrupulous . 
in this context , i would also like to state very briefly that the improvement of the overall management of aid in the field of foreign policy is a central aspect of the work of the commission , as regards both the institutional reform of this whole area , and also from the point of view of the need to reduce more strongly and more quickly than in the past the high burden of late payments . 
the european parliament is now at an re-opening extremely difficult , because this year stated - in the month of enero- that it was not prepared to accept that the clearance of accounts for the 1999 financial year indulgence still overcrowded of serious errors . 
i would like to address a number of problems and i hope that mr karlsson can today to answer my questions . 
we must have more figures and more action . 
this year already i would like to see if this is possible , so that we can begin to assess the work of the directorates-general . 
we all know , of course , that the commission is introducing changes . 
in this way will reduce the level of mistakes . 
therefore , both now and in the future , we will judge the commission depending on the implementation of the rules . 
firstly , allow me to thank mr karlsson that cooperation with the committee on budgetary control on this occasion , has been much better than in previous years . 
i would also like to ask you to publish a classification of countries that have the worst record of maladministration in the eu and in what areas . 
madam president , i too would like to express my sincere thanks to the court of auditors for its report , as well as the political assessment offered by yesterday in the committee on budgetary control . there , too , resaltaron once again the efforts to introduce reforms and need . 
it is necessary to include what has pointed out before mrs van der laan , and that we fully agree . 
for this may be necessary give more powers to the president of the court to take decisions on the working methods of the court and the way in which it fulfils its communications . 
rates vary from one state to another , as well as its composition . 
that was its work more important on the common agricultural policy , the special report on arable crops , the court ruled that 1993 to 1997 , the community budget paid a larger amount to eur 13 billion more than it would have been reasonable . 
i do not make questions which it is impossible to respond . 
the court of auditors must also change its working methods . 
there is always something welcome . 
this report was adopted by a large majority in parliament 's environment committee and , therefore , i am defend the result of the vote in the committee . 
the second point relates to the export ban that has been praised before . 
for this reason , i must say that i have major objections to this provision and i would prefer to be rejected . 
in a second or third reading we will need the famous 314 votes and certainly not be achieved by a report such as the present . 
the commission has begun to take interim measures , but welcome , in this direction , and perhaps the commissioner could tell us something more when he responds to the debate . 
we agree with the rapporteur when emphasises the consumer information on the risks and transparency , especially in the field of health and safety . 
i believe that it is better to have in mind subsidiarity . 
however , i remember a great discussion we had with my daughter , elisabetta , when i was nine years and asked me to go single on the streets . 
it must ensure that consumer protection undividedly behind , without duplicate the regulations or that they are even contradict each other . 
i should also like to emphasise the importance of the amendments adopted by the environment committee strengthen transparency for the end consumer and that determine the responsibility not only of the producers , but also of distributors in possible operations of recovery of the products to be dangerous . 
this also means that when introduce new sectoral legislation , this will replace the relevant provisions of this directive . 
many of the amendments tabled in the report are an improvement to the document and , therefore , the commission can accept them . 
thirdly , amendment no 4 proposes to add , in a recital , the obligation for member states to draw up reports reasoned with the cooperation of institutions public or private , competent and independent . 
despite the fact that the commission is in favour of cooperation and common principles , the wording proposed goes against the principle of subsidiarity . 
the commission has not received any complaint about the current wording and the amendments would weaken the provisions . 
amendments nos 39 and 44 propose to allow public access to information on dangerous products only when it has given to ban or the decision to withdraw the product , and that the exchange of information protected by professional secrecy should not be possible between the surveillance authorities of the market . 
mr martelli , as a rule not should be its intervene until that has been completed the round of voting but , as an exception , i shall give you briefly the floor . 
report ( a5-0294 / 2000 ) by mrs eriksson , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the proposal for a council decision [ com ( 2000 ) 335 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 ( cns ) ) on the programme on the community framework strategy on equality between men and women ( 2001-2005 ) 
mr president , i wish to refer to the order of the vote on the amendments on paragraph 10 , which is on the armenian genocide . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the responsibility is twofold : the governments of the states of the union and the governments of the mediterranean partners . 
this aid is more than justified in the light of the tragedy . 
the ban on night work for women was one of the few areas in which the social legislation of some countries , which aims to protect women , was more advanced for women workers that for workers . 
i hope that in future the commission should present all the years , in due course , an assessment of the situation , thus creating the conditions necessary for the european parliament to analyse and discuss the situation in greater depth . 
for these reasons , regrettably , i have voted against it . 
it is important that our products are safe , but we should not exaggerate taking extreme action . 
today the european agency for reconstruction in kosovo is governed by a council of direction in which each of the representatives of the member states and the commission has a vote , and , in which decisions are taken by two-thirds majority . 
i believe that in the case of serbia to the equivalent of algeria is called kosovo . 
. ( da ) the danish social democrats have voted against the report that established aid to producers swine of the eu . 
only , which , albeit with some opening up of the french presidency , we know that the commission rejects these proposals and the council does not appear to be a majority to approve them . 
a small variation in the supply enough to cause a crisis situation . 
mr president , the armenian genocide was the first in a whole series of massacres perpetrated during the twentieth century , which can be regarded as the century of genocide . 
since sweden is not prepared to participate in a common military defence , but in civil crisis management , we cannot support paragraph 15 that ' welcomes the desire for turkey to contribute to improving the european capacities in the framework of the common european security and defence policy ( pecsd ) " . 
but beyond this duty to remember that we must call on all democracies and that the european know how difficult and painful it is - so difficult to certain european countries have not done completely - it is important that these acts of barbarism which destroyed lives for reasons ethnic , religious or cultural and contrary to the universal conscience will no longer be no more . 
it is , without doubt , a different debate from today ; but bearing in mind the importance for me is turkey , today i wanted to emphasise this . 
thanks to which can no longer be stops the population exercising their right to self-determination , peace has been possible in these places . 
i voted in favour of the amendments which require this recognition , today , to continue with this testimony and to acknowledge the pain of a people . 
that event happened in times of the ottoman empire . 
not only the jové peres report i would like systematize this situation with regard to regional organisations existing and to those that are being created , but i would like , moreover , to strengthen it and put an end to the habit of the commission recourse to the support of technical from different member states . 
my comments are valid , of course , to the matter before us today : the representation of the european community within the regional fisheries organisations , but also apply in the negotiations carried out , for example , in the framework of the world trade organisation . 
my suggestion of union was fobbed off with the support of the then president of the council , mr trittin , and the european commission for the decision of parliament to unite three directives hardly found opposition . 
i quote an example : pvc is 0.7 % of the waste incinerados . 
i shall end , mr president , saying that the ppe / de group is satisfied with the work carried out in this third reading . 
mr president , i too would like to thank mr blokland for the preparation of this report , which is so important . 
incineration does not mean recycling . 
the report of the mep , mr blokland , which has now come to the third reading , has been for many of the members of the environment committee elected for the first time parliament the first proof of maturity , during which we have learned parliament 's procedures . 
introduces more stringent limit for emissions of new cement kilns that coincineran waste , as mrs evans has also pointed out . 
beyond the various national situations , we can therefore see , in all the states of the european union , a reduction almost general coverage compulsory , a more important role played by the so-called systems of health insurance complementary and the renewed factors discriminatory . 
it would be , on the other hand , a proposal for a directive which include the following points : the ban on using medical information nominativa from genetic research , a key point ; the absence of examination of health prior to the subscription ; the creation of an obligation to guarantee campaigns on the part of the insurer ; the asunción better coordinated of compensation for people working and move within the union and , finally , the creation of a mechanism mediation . 
every time we are more positive with regard to the attention cross-border so that the action of the market applies progressively healthcare . 
the united states we are often used " example " for the free market economy , but we would be making a mistake garrafal if the take as a model in health policy . 
it would be a mistake that the eu establishment rules on , for example , information health or exigieran that ensure throughout the world , destroying this diversity of systems of sickness insurance existing today in many countries and that work on principles actuarial . 
later we saw that there was a way to be accommodated . 
what is at stake here is the health of all the citizens of our member states and the cohesion of our territories . 
it is no coincidence that i face problems of this kind , in my origin dutch . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , mr rocard urges the commission to define in a green paper traits own basic insurance for the legal systems of health insurance . 
this is an issue which is of particular concern to us . 
mr president , those we have spent over our everyday life to the study of the social issues we remember that the old manuals used to include a definition of social protection as a whole protection measures state for attention risk economically measurable , of the specific individual or family and those individuals - unit familiar- could not cater for themselves . 
this means that we need to think hard on the why the failure of the medical assistance public . 
the health insurance complementary part of a legal system of agreements and services . 
with its attempt to eliminate discrimination on grounds of the state of health , mr rocard would have killed the chicken eggs in gold . 
the commission will speak immediately within the framework of its powers and try to respond to the conclusions of his report . 
i also hope that approval of the proposals to recognise that the rating and integration in professional life are of particular importance , so that we should bear in mind the phenomenon increasingly important social exclusion and poverty despite the exercise of a professional activity remunerated . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we too , from the perspective of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , we want to congratulate the rapporteur on her document . 
the next item is the commission communication on the recommendations of the committee on the opinion of the council on the updating of the stability programmes of germany , finland and the netherlands . 
this has led us to reflect different and ask ourselves whether this stability and growth pact has run out , with the completion of the quantitative target of a specific figure final , or whether to introduce other aspects relating to the quality of public finances in future programmes . 
our fundamental message is , therefore , that the margin for making cuts tax must be coupled with a strict control of public spending . 
i believe that seen can be generally draw a positive assessment . 
mentioned that in one of the larger countries of europe , which is also one of the most important for the european economy , namely germany , we run the risk of ending up entering what appears to be a stage of sobrecalentamiento of its economy . 
mr president , many thanks to mr della vedova . 
i believe that you wanted that today we refiriéramos these two chapters : the topicality of the fight against bse in europe and its developments in france . 
we propose to the european commission and our partners in the union to prepare the extension of the tests at european level , as a function of the scientific recommendations . 
so , efficiency , independence and transparency will be the key principles that will guide clearly the risk assessment food in europe . 
i shall return to this later . 
however , it is necessary to make these tests on a much wider scale . 
monitoring measures active , including the evidence to chance , are carried out to prevent infected animals of bse enter into chains food and animal feed . 
in a situation as we are in , it is always tempting to seek a solution magic , a solution which , in one fell swoop , removes the risk and restore confidence . 
on monday i will ask the member states if there is the fear that the gaps in the application of the controls over recent years , against the community legislation in this area , are a factor in the current increase in the incidence of bse . 
however the two things can be possible , to act swiftly and remain serious . 
you depends suministrarlos quickly . 
this requirement is essential , especially in the case of bse . 
our group calls for an immediate ban on the meat and bone meal for all animals while the member states are not able to guarantee the drafting of laws on the prevention of bse and the rigorous application of the european directives . 
i do not know whether this is the panacea , commissioner , but on behalf of the precautionary principle , i believe that the experience obliges ban from today , the use of animal meal in the feeding of all the animals , including pigs , poultry and fish . 
i think that the debate that has been initiated in our house , which is seek who - the council , the commission or of the house - has led to more or less , seems to me quite superfluous . 
firstly , as others have said before me , it is necessary practise tests systematic in all the cattle slaughtered intended for the feeding of europeans . 
displaying value and ambition we can combine interest health of europeans and the economic interests of our producers , for power , in this way , to restore confidence . 
i repeat , they are in no way responsible for the crisis . that is why the european union must show its solidarity with them . 
i do not accept the arrogance of some member states that , not practise screening tests , we are calling for a regulation . 
european solidarity must also play a role , because our policy has shown its incoherences : setaside , animal meal for ruminants , nitrates and pesticides . 
then i have to listen to what it says here in this house , mr gollnisch that your group has been the spearhead in the discussion on bse . 
furthermore , we believe it necessary to ensure that we acote any focus and prohibiting the export of meat until it is proved their safety . 
it is not possible that we in the policy , not let us emphasise sufficiently this priority . 
i am pleased that we continue to analysing the extent of the evidence on the basis experimental . 
but if generalizamos screening tests , if destroy the animal meal , if we impose the massacre of the whole pack by a single sick animal , we must demand health rules strictly equivalent to third countries which are our trading partners and seeking export to the community live animals , channels and preparations meat . 
the causes lie elsewhere . 
madam president , i am very pleased that the commission has said , finally , so vehement advocates of tests which cover the entire territory . indeed , france has demonstrated : anyone who seeks , is . 
what is prevents us from acting ? why we need that there is a crisis for coming here to ensure that our parliament , we strongly believe that public health is absolute priority ? 
the link between the feed bones and bse , which is a form of food completely unnatural , has become clear to everyone . 
i therefore ask you to the european commission to impose a certain degree of harmonisation in this aspect . 
i appeal to the european commission to carry out a complete revision of the systems in force in france to solve the cases of bse . 
the result is that the poison falls within the system , as is currently happening , and destroyed . 
of course , it is difficult coexistence , in the field of national legislation and european legislation . 
also , there is legislation in force which lays down how should we draw up the meat and bone meal , the treatment of that should be put this i think - one more measure safeguard that has been included in the system to protect public health and food safety . 
i have therefore asked the standing veterinary committee , which is meeting at this precise moment , to examine this matter to determine what age should be carried out these tests . i refer to analyse housings for older animals of an age determined to detect if there is infection and , if so , remove the animal of the food chain . 
serve as an example of the technique of almohada causing the death of a immigrant in belgium , the use of strong sedantes in spain , the transport of immigrants crammed into holds of ships in italy and spain , the tragedy of 58 chinese immigrants dead in the united kingdom in the port of dover , after having been arrested several times in european territory , and the widespread use of different means of coercion and intimidation with immigrants expelled . 
that is my commitment . i will answer i . 
the issue of violence against women adopts many forms : violence family , which is a crime silenciado , the various forms of sexual exploitation , trafficking in women , the trafficking of persons . 
. mr president , mr nogueira i would say that , of course , in the model that we have defined , monetary policy , it is up to the central bank and is the european central bank anyone who works according to the criteria laid down in the treaty . 
mr president , i believe that in the public opinion is very important to distinguish between the effect internal and effect foreign , and i would be interested : will it be in place the commission now , shortly before the introduction of euro notes and coins , an action to explain to the population of the difference between the effect internal and effect outside monetary stability ? 
if the greek not adopt the appropriate action , the commission will continue the procedure that has already begun . 
what does the commission is to ensure that there is a system of monitoring and measurement . 
in the same decision , the commission had undertaken to study the aid regimes all the member states , based on criteria specific compatibility approved until the year 2004 , the year which will expire date of validity of the authorisation of the regime french aid . 
the achievement of a europe which promotes the integration in the words of the european council in lisbon , requires an effort and an action plan . 
secondly , allowing draw majority party in the experience of the players working on the ground , the ngos , local authorities , social bodies and the people themselves that are in a position to exclusion . 
there are many people in advanced age that would be in agreement with this , as the people who have worked very long hours for a salary reduced that does not provide a livelihoods vital decent ( workers of the countryside , for example . 
can be people with mental problems . can be groups many that are unaware of the language which is necessary to achieve a work . 
in the united states , a employment more flexible ensures that poverty is alive for shorter periods with unemployment is very short . 
in my own country , nearly 75 % of those working and living below the poverty threshold are women . 
for this , we must try to fulfil , at least in part , this commitment . i am convinced of the goodwill of mrs . 
we must strengthen this allocation , bearing in mind the procedures and realism is necessary . 
mr president , i wish to thank and congratulate mrs figueiredo , and i would also like to express my thanks to the other members of the european parliament which are not present and who have expressed the opinion of the other committees . 
i also agree to emphasise the importance of the ngos and the regional and local actors , as you have pointed out , as well as a better reflected in the text of his experience on the ground . 
we have already agreed that the social protection committee will meet regularly with the contact group , consisting of members of parliament . 
the next item is the debate on the report ( a5-0320 / 2000 ) by mrs rothe , on behalf of the committee on industry , external trade , research and energy , on the proposal for a directive of the european parliament and the council ( com ( 2000 ) 279 - c5-0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0116 ( cod ) ) on the promotion of electricity produced from renewable sources of energy in the internal electricity market . 
we need now of binding objectives . 
another essential point to which the commission has given its assent this problem of the link to the network and access to the same for renewable energies . 
particularly in my country , spain , these guidelines would be responsible for that by 2010 is transmit to the atmosphere 225.000 million tonnes of co2 additional and that it can meet the kyoto objectives . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the commission 's proposal to create a framework in which the proportion of electricity from renewable energy sources will increase significantly in the european union in the medium term is an initiative which is worthy of praise . the effort which the rapporteur , mrs . 
but the threat can always come from compatibility with the internal market . 
waste are not a renewable natural resource , despite the fact that every day will be no more and more . 
consequently , this directive acquires a topical inadvertently . 
however , i strongly support this proposal . 
mr president , i would like to thank mrs rothe on her excellent report , which comes very opportunely , this week , precisely when we are fighting the crisis of climate change . 
the promotion of consumption of electricity produced from renewable sources of energy is a very worthy of support . 
we need adjustments technological drastic . 
rather , the proposals on energy are only from time to time and without much coherence . 
rothe and i would like to conclude , simply , mentioning three problems that have arisen during this debate . 
furthermore , by a principle of consistency , the above-mentioned objectives translated into parameters national must be binding , as otherwise the directive would be of no content and substance . 
for the same reason , amendment no 3 in part , but not amendment no 7 , which is too technique in the text of the proposal . 
but , ladies and gentlemen , we cannot accept the parts that prejuzgan the application of the rules on state aid . 
the next item is the debate on 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 peaceful conflict resolution [ 2000 / 2025 ( ini ) ) . 
while the processes formal peace are a territory almost exclusively male , experience and declarations international demonstrate the importance of female participation in the settlement of disputes and in the construction of peace . 
decisions on the implementation and application of aid measures are the responsibility of the cabinets crisis and here competition objective and specialised of women has little attention and recognition . 
apparently , want to maintain its position of power in matters of foreign and defence policy and believe that the interests of women can stand up for men . 
mr president , i would like first to express the interest that i deserves this report , which excellence , i would like to highlight the great excellence , even . 
it must also be financial resources to help women victims of this situation . 
mr president , a lot has already been said and i shall not repeat . 
theorin , that we need this excellent report which is a very important matter and hotly topical . how , neither more nor less , participation substantial of women in the resolution diplomatic conflict can change the world and transform the culture of power of the confrontation and violence in culture of peace , dialogue and accordance democratic differences . 
therefore , support the demands of the report by the women must have a right to influence diplomatically . 
a report which is well documented , profound , rigorous , able to say fundamental principles with clarity , which is ago in article 17 , bold but at the same time with a great practicality and proposals very necessary . 
i think that we should condemn all violations and all forms of slavery ! 
the fifth point is the role of the echo , the european community humanitarian office , in relation to which is the challenge and parliament 's invitation to consider the gender dimension . 
the problem is that this work carried out millions of people , particularly women , for which there is also a great demand although this work has not been any kind of regularisation . 
i believe that we must oblige the member states to regulate this sector through the directives labour as has been raised in the dictámen of the european parliament on these directives . 
the population migrant tends to be a collective important in this sector , which requires special measures , as reception centres specialised , to facilitate the necessary aid . 
it is an issue of which should be dealt with by the member states . 
demand has increased in recent years in a way meteórica but this has hardly been taken into account in professional life general , and the rights and obligations arising from this . 
( the sitting was closed at 12 midnight ) 
( loud applause ) 
we must not only create the internal system of freedom and peace , but also harmonised with the rules and practices that the european community and the european union maintains for decades . 
the first step we need to take in our bid for restructuring 's constitutional federal state is to define a framework for the democratic dialogue widest possible on the nature of relations between the two republics . 
you , the representatives of the european parliament , which are the direct representatives of the citizens of its member states , the citizens of europe , are the ones that are best placed to understand why the possibility yes to enter europe seems to us so uncertain to us , the citizens of the current federal republic of yugoslavia . 
we shall continue our sitting . 
and it is a matter of great importance and interest to the citizens , so that it would be right and necessary that we could do so du 
the commission communicated that it would present a specific proposal in this respect within six months and has kept its word . 
currently , the european union already has a practice in regard to the publication of documents , and we should remember that many citizens bold and many member states progressive are already fighting for years to increase transparency . 
this report still requires be retocado in parliament and i therefore believe that here , must be improved . 
we are pleased to find the report as a principle crucial that we also defend vehemently from the committee on budgets . 
now it is the possibility of look at the issues that are not special appreciation for part of the media and interest groups and thus be able to participate better in the open and democratic debate which is so important for the confidence in the eu . 
the committee on petitions calls for shorter periods to make public documents . 
when you no longer justifies the document should be accessible . 
i would also like to stress that all citizens will have guaranteed access to documents , in many ways . 
the dogma of the political responsibility must not be confused with the rights of access to documents of the citizens . 
i would appeal to the rapporteurs to remove the rules of procedure any reference to the rights of members , since that is citizens ' access to documents , and i would ask all members who monitor very well that their interests which do not prevail in the detriment of the interests of the public . 
in these areas , access to documents is not guaranteed and is vedado not only for the citizens , but even the european parliament to which , moreover , not even been gives him or consultation on the fundamental documents . 
but a great drop bitterness remains . 
mr president , i would first like to thank mr cashman for having done a splendid piece of work with this report . 
it is a very important report , which is a substantial part of what we could call the new principle of advertising of the eu . 
( technical fault ) 
it is not just the principle of free access to all documents , but also , of course , that finally achieve opening the doors of the session of the council , to the council does not take in future , the style of metternich , its decisions only and secret to then be able to incordiar easily to brussels . 
secondly , i would like to comment on the work on the exceptions . 
our population considers that europe is not democratic , that decisions are taken behind closed doors . 
maij-weggen , to present in such a short period this report . in accordance with article 255 of the treaty , the proposed regulation should be taken before 1 may 2001 , i.e. two years after the entry into force of the treaty of amsterdam . 
i should like to address now some problems which prevent at this time , that the commission can accept certain amendments . 
as i said earlier , in some cases we can agree in principle with the amendments , but we must work together from a technical point of view and administrative , for example , with regard to the amendments relating to the classification of documents and registration . 
we do not have any written document and i should like , also for the future , the commission remitiese members , writing his recommendations . 
welcome 
we welcome the greatest importance given to weakening of the risk of appropriations , in particular to the guarantees can offer small businesses . 
report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) by mr blokland on the joint text approved by the conciliation committee , on the european parliament and council directive [ c5-0371 / 2000 - 1998 / 0289 ( cod ) ] on the incineration of waste 
mr president , can i ask you to the liberal group , i would also ask in both a of the co-ponentes , which address the issue of a form a little more practice ? 
it is therefore a common wish of the ppe-de and pse groups that the vote be postponed until the november ii . 
i therefore propose refer the vote on the report villiers to the november ii . 
i have followed the order that i have provided the competent services and the plenary does not agreed else . 
as president of turn , today i have to say only that , as colleague , i can say that i agree with you . 
beyond the negative attitude displayed by in the first stage , when the european parliament denounced the threat in britain and already the second stage , when the scandal in great britain had reached the point , then , the measures restricted substantially to this country , without any programme immediately rigorous controls and restructuring of the husbandry at european level . 
that is why we want to draw four main lessons that we will have to take into account in future . 
we have voted in favour of this joint resolution . 
the increase in the number of cases in england to the new variant of cjd and the situation in france have brought to the agenda , with even more vehemently , the question of mad cow " ( bse ) . 
for fear that panic amongst the citizens or concerned about prevent disasters commercial , some governments have not provided in real time to the commission duly informed or not proceeded , since the first time that demonstrated these dangerous phenomena , to block immediately consumption of the products in question and to ban exports . 
farmers cannot deal with this crisis alone : we must put into practice a plan accompanying farming and a series of measures to win back consumer confidence . 
the inability of all the european institutions - the council , the commission , parliament ) to define a policy relevant community that responds to the security needs of the member states most directly affected will raise effectively problems of hierarchy between the obligations of the single market and the demands of the health and safety of our people . 
we have obtained , after many discussions with the council , satisfaction on several points . 
the days of the dumps are coming to an end and must be replaced by technologies more advantageous to the environment . 
that participate in the processes the social partners and , especially , representatives of the groups concerned at the addressed the programme 
although we must welcome the upturn in growth and the drop in unemployment , we must not hide the persistence , even the worsening , inequalities . 
i believe that the rapporteur is right when it calls for greater involvement of the public authorities , the social partners and civil society in measures to overcome poverty and social exclusion current . 
the ' poor workers ' , which the majority are women , employed part-time , downwards and on more total insecurity , to join the trail of misery official speeches on the recovery ignores completely . 
three years ago , the prime minister established a unit against social exclusion that coordinates the government action to reduce social exclusion drawing up common solutions to common problems . 
so far , there are installed more than 60 rotores in the area of thousand camps football . 
dependence , that is approximately 50 % for the whole of the union can move on to 70 % by 2020 unless there is a development of renewable energy . 
it is true that we need to adopt a safety standards more sophisticated and effective in regard to the use of nuclear energy and the storage of nuclear waste . 
we must seek , therefore , a energy that is natural , but that continued without being used in both do not occur technical progress . 
the preparation of the asem 4 must be the opportunity to reaffirm the democratic requirement on the one hand , am information and the intervention of the assemblies elected and civil society - who behaves in particular the implementation of a social forum - and , on the other , taking full account of the social rights , environmental and human . 
it is that in recent times that parliament has been the victim of some misunderstandings and even some criticisms . 
we saw that was the same misadventures why was this parliament in its infancy , because it had to batallar and continues to batallando by having more powers , more resources , more presence and assert their representativeness . 
the central american parliament , like the european parliament , must be gaining in prestige , credibility and legitimacy , based on the activity of their political groups , because the lives of the parties is , or should be at least , faithful reflection of the societies which represent . 
with regard to human rights , we have been supporting since 1990 cooperation programmes in favour of respect for human rights through training and awareness in this area . 
( b5-0855 / 2000 ) by mr van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group ; 
the extreme confusion which characterised the context electoral in recent weeks in the ivory coast , until now , however economic model , is symptomatic of a country in crisis , in economic crisis , hopeless social and therefore chaos political . 
the political leaders , military and religious must do everything possible to achieve a national reconciliation . 
it is essential that through the debate on the ' marfilidad " , that debate confusing is none other than the implementation of national preference that we are fighting in our own countries , whose logical result and last is the application of the ethnic cleansing , is completely combated and deleted any reference or connotation on ' marfilidad " in the constitution of ivory coast . 
he , too , has supported the suspension of the constitution , with the intention of removing its highest opponent , watara , on the grounds that their parents were not both marfileños . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , even though ivory coast was a stronghold of stability and democracy compared with the countries of central africa and western suffers from a long time ago tensions in nature ethnic and religious ; recently , there have been abuses of power by the previous government of president badié , which led to a decision violent of power by the military . 
we condemn the ethnic violence and above all politicians whose demagogy has caused . 
the next item is the joint debate on the following motions for resolutions : 
the next meeting between asean and the eu in laos in december offers us an opportunity crucial to demonstrate our strong condemnation of this regime . 
incidentally , i have no confidence that our own ministers raise there these issues . 
asean has become to the full sense of the floor on a paper tiger , for its failure to tackle the terrible events in burma . 
the junta has said that it intends to crush the party as a whole . 
it is a historic duty and , of course , the situation is difficult . 
these improvements light - which must not be certainly the author of the amendments of the socialist group , mr sakellariou - have occurred in recent years and have led to a situation which is certainly not more tragic but which remains disastrous and that of any form does not match up to the challenges of the vietnam today . 
mr swoboda , the european parliament is flexible , efficient . 
however , it would be good that , in hanoi , the american president does not become concentrated only on the strengthening of mutual collaboration , but that will depend precisely firm promises from vietnam in regard to undergo an improvement drastic of the miserable situation prevailing in the country in the field of human rights . 
i ask the council and the commission that protesten strongly in this flagrant violation of the freedom of religion perpetrated by the vietnamese authorities . 
the process has led , also , signing the cooperation agreement between the commission and vietnam in 1995 . 
of course , these are the parties were contained in the proposal for a resolution which we are presenting . 
i agree that we must do all we can to help them , but ayudaríamos more changing the situation that has caused their misery and countless people throughout the world . 
the issues that are being discussed are medium and long term . 
mr president , commissioner , the floods which have a few weeks ago struck many northern areas of italy , as well as for other european states - uk , spain , ireland and france - returns to this parliament , the problem of urgent action and extraordinary to alleviate the needs of the people , of the communities and of the companies involved , as a policy in the long term , which prevents that can be repeat natural disasters of this magnitude . 
the transport sector , given its continued projected growth , more 38 % in the next década- , will require most important measures . 
the sitting was closed . 
this is perhaps part of the customs and habits of this parliament , but it seems to me extremely sensitive to believe that the parliamentary institution european adopts commitments in this matter , considers the possibility of entrust a mission like this to the commission with a participation so low . 
( parliament rejected the request ) . 
the economic and social policy of the eu , which has led to the reduction in capacity adquisitiva and the possibilities of contributions of workers , the emergence of new diseases and the impunity of the pharmaceutical companies have caused a considerable increase in expenditure on health . 
incidentally , it opens up a broad field to insurers private , on condition that not seleccionen ( initially ) the sick and premiums seguro for pathology . 
anyone who does not receives and spent a lot of money , no longer counts . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am glad to be today in the presence of a group of visitors from my beautiful constituency , which would like to thank heart . 
that is to be given to entities enough time to adapt to the new provisions . 
the report takes into account a consensus growing tends to point out the inability of the current regulations to take account of the developments in the financial sector in the past ten years . 
we say yes to a close consideration of the technical minimizadoras risk , and we also say yes to enlargement of the basic idea of the basle committee . 
and we also consider satisfactory the important contribution that this report makes the entire process . 
finally , and this is a key point , we are fully aware that we must respect the institutional balance laid down in the treaty . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . 
allow me , mr president , that before the end of seize this opportunity to congratulate the ombudsman jacob söderman , to congratulate him on his work in the fight against mismanagement and , therefore , also in the contribution to a greater approximation of european citizens to the life of the community institutions . 
mr president , luckily , the european parliament have always maintained , in accordance with nordic tradition , that we must strengthen and consolidating the situation of the ombudsman . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . 
after all , access to documents is a civil law and fundamental to a candidate there is no documentation more important than the connected with the examinations . 
we found legitimate that a candidate is able to have access to their copy corrected , because access to documents is a fundamental right , which is recognised in the charter of fundamental rights which we have just adopted this week . 
they should be . 
the example should follow the rest of the institutions and bodies , as recommended by the committee on petitions . 
the citizens of the european union should be given a impression positive when treat the european institutions . 
and what is new in this case is that should be guided in its practices by the search for excellence and prevent what , in accordance with our experience , can undermine credibility in the member states themselves . 
with regard to the other institutions , depends on the same the possibility of adopting the procedures raised in this report or in the requests of the ombudsman . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
if this is preventing a disaster inevitable we would be in a democratic bankruptcy , but if not consider relevant come , do not deserve the votes . 
are meaningful criteria utmost prudence adopted , but we must also be other aspects of the matter , in particular the coefficient solvency that is a coefficient weighting by type counterpart that approaching the risk of credit implicit in the active of a bank . 
creation interim of the european police academy ( eep ) 
this police cooperation is essential for that we can achieve the great objective of to provide european citizens with a high level of safety within the european area of freedom , security and justice . 
the enlargement of the european union , with the extension of the area of free movement of citizens , must be accompanied by accompanying measures of security and peaceful coexistence among the member states . 
as far as i can see , the conditions in prisons french and portuguese are very different . 
in other words , if it wants to common standards , we must definirlos first , because if not , you will be a training police completely colourful . 
however , thanks to the work of mr posselt , finally , it is envisaged that the training of staff police must also include human rights and the defence , and it is also important and appropriate at this moment , the suggestion of creating a police academy virtual appétit the potential of the internet . 
but here we are in strasbourg , faced with a house almost desierta , listening to the unthinkable . our own prime minister , mr . 
it is a good idea , and in a european union in which people enjoy freedom of movement , freedom of trade and the freedom of establishment in which the travellers scotland they can go to sicily or greece , it is logical wait to develop a common system for the maintenance of the rule of law . 
in the netherlands , the police this trained in the desescalada conflicts and in the suppression tolerant , and are regarded as phenomena normal social the existence of subculturas , ethnic minorities , the use of churches as ports of refuge for people who do not have a permit legal residence and organisation of protests policies . 
those who believe in good solutions which defend must not be afraid of confrontarlas with solutions of others . 
i hope that the academy will provide on this point , an approach which is valid for the future . 
it is a good illustration of what is beginning to be appointed at this moment with the name of europe in networks , a europe which puts nations in direct contact , without maintaining superestructuras useless . 
the majority of cases of kidnapping of children is being managed very properly and efficiently by the central authorities in all member states . 
so it is essential to fill this gap for reasons of fairness , realism with the development sociological and equality of rights and obligations for all the citizens of the european union . 
in the meantime , we welcome this measure , and we are going to give it our sincere vote . 
from our sympathy for the objective raised , we agree with the measures proposed . 
the question of a day refers clearly to the people who often goes to the other side of the world to see her son . 
the positions of the european parliament in this regard , as well as the case-law of the european court of justice , confirm this approach by the commission . 
i know that fifa has already played to obtain more time and has been doing over the account before presenting a response to the statement a formal commission carried out in 1998 . 
it is natural that is the commissioner responsible for the affairs sporting who represent them in the future to the union in the wada . 
decision of the united kingdom to implement a tax on the road hauliers not british 
ireland is obviously a very small market but open , and almost everything that buy comes from the united kingdom . 
in conclusion , we are rushing in the maintain this debate in the european parliament , but i welcome the fact and commissioner vitorino 's statement , which expresses clearly that the united kingdom has the right to introduce the system of the euro-vignette , provided that respects the rules and regulations in force . 
mr president , expenses and the tolls are sensitive , and i can asegurarlo in the case of austria , where we are always with this issue in round , and which always are seeking solutions for traffic . 
the question is not discriminate against the rest of drivers or carriers of europe in the interests of british drivers . 
it is going to pay for the vignette most of what you will be earn unless there is any exemption special or a basis per diem . 
on 22 november , which is to say the same day of the 25th anniversary of the crowning glory of king juan carlos , which opened the way for democracy in spain , one of the high figures of this democracy has just to turn to pay with their lives for their faith in freedom , tolerance and respect for others . 
guárdenlas because all very carefully . 
the european union 's negotiating position centred on the safeguarding of the environmental integrity of the kyoto protocol in the fields of change in the use of the land and forestry , the question of the ' sinks ' , the relationship between the mechanism kyoto , and the internal measures , which is known as ' supplementarity ' , and compliance . 
with a view to preparing for the next part-session , the eu should not resume talks on all the issues , but focus on the key priorities , in particular the mechanisms of the ' sinks ' , ' supplementarity ' and a regime rigorous enforcement . 
mr prescott has now been under water and we do not know how long will collapse . 
finally , i think it is good that have not given up on the subject of reductions , above all because in this area is very difficult to carry out measurements exact . 
it is not possible callback on nuclear energy . 
however , we must continue to move forward . in may 2001 , in bonn , must be incorporated equality . 
during the follow-up conference in bonn , to be held in may 2001 , should be sought still such a compromise . 
if we want to have all a planet in which to live in the future , the challenge facing us in connection with the climate change is clearly one of the greatest of the 21st century . 
the same applies to measurements plenary co2 wells , as planting further forests . 
the hague conference will continue , as you announced this , commissioner , the spring next in bonn . 
madam president , thank you for your contribution commissioner wallström . 
if something is not there was disunity was in the relationship between the european parliament delegation and the commission . 
not achieve an agreement in the next meeting of the cop6 is not an option . 
we had a attitude very constructive and we negotiate until the last minute of those discussions in the hague . 
has the floor , mr president-in-office of the council . 
with regard to the coordination of social security systems , the tax system , to the questions of asylum , visa and immigration , the trade negotiations in the field of services - a point of great - , some countries still have major problems . 
i would like to add that have not yet been reached an agreement on the distribution of the seats in the european parliament . 
reach an agreement that will enable the union operate after new accessions , all the preparing at the moment actively , is a crucial stage in the future of the union and the enlarged union . 
of course , its president is invited . 
it will be submitted in nice , and of course we are waiting to be ratified . 
see because you as the debates will be very densos in nice . 
so that the union can be effective , the conference should make significant progress in this respect , and this also represents extending the codecision procedure . 
referred to the codecision by the european parliament . 
( applause ) 
this challenge is the reunification of our old continent , an enlargement which has no parallel in regard to their scale and for that is what we must prepare ourselves for the nice summit . 
madam president , the main objective of the nice summit is to enlarge the european union and prepare the union for enlargement . 
madam president , mr president-in-office of the council , mr president of the commission , i think i can say that , to date , the governments of the fifteen have not been covered in glory . 
this method is not good . 
it is now being proposed decisions are taken by qualified majority in 49 areas . 
the decisions by majority kill the right of veto in the parliamentary democracies of the member states , but the eu is not itself in a parliamentary democracy . 
mr president , europe needs a leadership , needs clarity , needs to make elections , needs dynamism . 
the principle blackmail the proclamation does not seem acceptable , in view of the conclusions of the european council in biarritz , even if the latter was informal . 
these are , mr president-in-office of the council , the elements on the basis of which we will assess the results of nice , and you have also our accession in regard to the point that has mentioned , with regard to the services of general economic interest . 
i will take attitude to the treaty of nice when he sees the result , however , is an experience something schizophrenic attend this debate . 
in amsterdam the heads of state and government have suspended and they must return to prove luck in nice . 
if the gap between large and small countries in the council opens too we run the risk of being in a few years an enormous crisis of legitimacy within the european union , because the small will no longer feel at home for fear of not being able to defend its identity . 
the french president and prime minister seem more addicted to its own political future in europe . 
can arise serious legal problems of interpretation to not incorporate the text to the treaty , but only adhere to it politically . 
on the other hand , i would stress the great importance to give strong institutions to our europe to balance out an institutional void with regard to the acceleration that has been achieved at the level economic with the euro . 
the stated objective of this review is the configuration of institutions more effective , adequate already in an enlarged europe , and , at the same time , the reduction of undeniable democratic deficit . 
but also means the restructuring of the committee itself 133 : increase its accountability ; ensure that its agenda and its conclusions are accessible and its composition is vast and inclusive . 
mr president , i speak not only to the president-in-office of the council , but also to all the governments of the member states , when i say that , if we fail to an agreement in nice on these difficult issues , they do not disappear . 
the codecision process over the last year has shown that works . 
and in this direction , i would say that we must take it that the area of trade policy will be included in this extension of qualified majority . 
when i was a seven-year-old girl , was forced to flee from the country to the progress of the red army , a transient to escondía in the cunetas not to the did ask aviation soviet . 
mr méndez de vigo just referred , rightly , of the charter . 
we cannot wait more of it . 
understanding is increasingly close and , although perhaps not represent the lowest common divisor , is undoubtedly a divisor common small , even very small . 
- ( fr ) mr president , first of all i would like to thank the members , because i think that this is an excellent debate . 
therefore , it is not not proclaim the charter , it is not a problem of transparency . 
in fact , the system of rotation egalitarian also applies to the large countries , which , in a given time , could be found without commissioner , as the other . 
i believe that parliament will be able to see that the european union has improved institutional mechanisms which will allow him to confront the continuation of this development of the european union which unites us all . 
the vote will take place tomorrow . 
mr president , i would like to join the statement by mr . 
i am totally opposed to that nobody threaten to a minister invited , is turkish or any other nationality . 
it is obvious that , in this house of european democracy we have to guarantee the safety of all our guests and the finding under our ceiling . 
the minister of health grounds that the pills not hurt and with the statement of " deal with the tumours with marijuana " , has undermined the bases of the dignity of every human being calling for the liberalisation of drugs . 
the least we can say is that it is not a good way of proceeding , not to say a snub for our parliament , and except to consider that members of the european parliament have nothing to say on human rights , when you have just voted by a large majority the charter of fundamental rights , the same will be absent from this forum of the european union , to which , last year , many of them had seen for dialogue with the ngos and the institutions . 
we have already talked enough about this issue . 
already before amsterdam the european parliament and the commission were in favour of the responsible in foreign policy outside vice-chairman of the commission and accepting the same time , the role of high representative , with special obligation and relationship to the council . 
as it did before the feira summit , to the vote on a resolution on 15 june , the european parliament should adopt tomorrow a text which summarises its position on the eve of the nice council . 
the development of the pecsd is a new departure for the european project , and therefore requires clarification of the current institutional framework . 
the european council should adopt in nice several decisions , which i will quote . 
for the first debate , at the beginning of the year , the commission will prepare a table , country by country , based on the last budget year , that describirá the state of the commitments and payments and the amounts which remain to be paid in connection with the main programmes financed by the community budget and by the edf . 
we have worked in addition , the issue of regional cooperation , notion that i had some resistance by some countries of this region , which do not want that again shutting in a past of which have emerged , and i can say that , thanks to the summit , have understood that there is no contradiction between a regional cooperation and their progress , its approach , with regard to the european union , especially through the process of stabilisation and association confirmed and tightened up on this occasion . 
before has there been an summit with india , under the portuguese presidency , and there will be a ministerial meeting with the asean . 
it is not a reason for desalentarnos . 
i would also remind you of the range of tasks : humanitarian aid , evacuation of national , conflict prevention , but also separation by force of belligerent parties . 
this is based , of course , in the autonomy of decision of the european union and recognizing the voluntary nature and political of the commitments adopted . 
he has done more than anyone else as personification of the resolution of conflicts in one part of the world , which i know very well , and has been praised properly throughout the world by his efforts . 
part of the attention given to the media to the creation of that force in the country i know best , i find it very astounding . 
i would like to thank mrs lalumière has pointed out , the report on the prevention of conflicts that the commission is preparing , together with the high representative for the european council in nice . 
thank you very much , commissioner patten . 
that will be , in my opinion , the real test for the european union . 
the impatient citizens complain that european democracy is too slow . 
the people must also have the greatest possible access to information and documents . 
in the current proposals remains completely uncertain what should be this role . 
with a european flag in the car is going on all sides , until the more desheredado of the refugee camps . 
this is the reason , mr president , on which europe must , in my opinion , decide to act now . 
if not as europeans we play a responsible role in resolving this conflict with independence of the united states , we will need to bring in other areas of conflict are not call us nor confidence as mediators . 
only that his personal commitment not replaces the democratic legitimacy of the european security and defence policy . 
i cannot accept certain specific points of the report by mrs lalumière . 
the abandonment of this wide range of instruments of prevention civil conflict will be in the long term as a mistake . i do not suffice declarations by the council with the observation that we have already adopted resolutions and that this will in any direction . 
as you can figurarse , we reject the two reports , and we are endeavouring to use all our forces against the policies that are expression ... 
third , we must create a corridor nuclear weapons free , as in its day proposed olof palme , from the baltic to the black sea . 
i would like to congratulate mrs lalumière on her report . 
the brok report is also covers the post of high representative of the common policy on security and defence . 
what a pity , i say to mr van orden and my other colleagues , because my colleagues on the other side of the pond , the irish sea have much to offer in this field : tradition , experience and practice . 
the european parliament , in cooperation with national parliaments , is , in our view , the appropriate body for this . 
i believe that the lessons to learn in this last experience we will in future when faced with the need to establish a policy and defence capacity european , which , in my opinion , it is a component as essential of european integration as is the single currency . 
i also believe that the mix between these different media is a property , it is a possibility , specifically to the european union and that the task before us , if this policy is progressing and builds on , is to develop a genuine european culture of prevention and treatment of conflicts . 
i think that is going to develop a positive dialogue . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the resignation of the commission , in march 1999 , revealed the need to reform its structures and its working methods . 
the reform , which can be conceived from above , must be clear and has expressed the trade unions , the whole of the staff , and that is linked to effectively whole staff to this whole process . 
this provision will require time , but it is inevitable and essential for the reform . 
the reform of the commission is an act essential for the future of our institutions . 
drafting my report , i have considered , not only the white paper , but also in the second report of the committee of independent experts and the resolution passed in this parliament on 19 january , proposed by michiel van hulten , on the work of the aforementioned committee of experts . 
the court of auditors mentions in his report that is not opposed to the abolition of visa prior always that this derogation is replaced by other procedures which guarantees , at least equivalent and can lead to players other than the financial controller . 
all the major organisations are now being more open ; they are doing more transparent ; they are using information technology of new ways ; they are from the traditional forms vertical organisation , sharing the information across the organisation and between organisations . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , despite its scope , the content of the white paper presented by commissioner kinnock raises no directly an institutional matter . 
furthermore , we have talked about this afternoon in the context of the debate on the common foreign policy . 
finally , we must tackle the thorny issue of the proposal early retirement . 
the decentralisation of financial control towards the directorates-general is an important step , but will only work if the staff receives proper training , if enough funds available and if the responsibility of the heads of line requires properly . 
bodies and their leaders must have clear potential to make the best possible management . 
with regard to the disciplinary procedure here too there are promises but so far , no clear rules or inscribed on how to apply these rules . and also the question of externalisation is definitively clarified . 
this reform is necessary to serve faithfully to god and cannot be imposed by rules . 
as a whole new amending situations consolidated , it is clear that we should be careful , and to be careful . 
however , we are going to withdraw amendment no 6 , and we shall ask for a split vote in the last part of amendment no 15 because we do not believe that the current system in the ecb is given to this situation . 
last time i was part of this parliament , the president of the commission was jacques delors and working together with commissioner brittan and , before him , with the commissioner cockfield . 
madam president , commissioners , ladies and gentlemen , we still this reform with justified hopes . 
issues such as the bse crisis , oil prices , the greenhouse effect boast a component of european express . 
the public must also have the feeling that the commission is really accessible and transparent . 
for the european parliament , the reform is a vital issue on which has a knock-on effect , as the budgetary authority and legislative . 
defines many clear procedures for various ways of denounce suspected wrong-doing both inside and outside the institution in which is used the official . 
therefore , i am convinced that we shall have the pleasure to listen to him on future occasions . 
mr garriga polledo , allow me to say briefly that retains the categories of the financial perspective . 
the reform has to be carried out by the commission staff , so that precise of acceptance . 
we believe that a reform cosmetics makes no sense in these times of profound change . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , first of all i would like to highlight the quality of the own-initiative report by mrs sauquillo pérez del arco in connection with the reform of the commission and their effects on the effectiveness of the european union 's relations with the developing countries . 
we want to see more responsibility . 
before we talk of aid projects , we must try to remove all the causes of use existing seeking and chasing who has taken advantage , has exploited and has abused stocks are in a state of need . 
precisely because mr nielson is faithful to this collective responsibility will defend , without doubt , the proposal this evening . 
more serious still seems to us , in the commission proposal , the separation territorial which remains . 
in 2001 , for example , the financial responsibility will be desconcentradas in 22 delegations , computer systems of other 15 delegations will be up-to-date and will be 40 new jobs officials in the external services . 
maritime safety 
but neither the erika , nor the ievoli sun , were french vessels . 
in fact this is one of the priority issues on the agenda of the commission since the fatal collapse , 11 months ago , the erika . 
we hope and trust that the 21 december , the council of ministers will help you to the determination of the european institutions on truly improve maritime safety with the adoption of common positions for the three texts . 
i think that is at our disposal but we must make sure that this agreement comes into force . 
i understand , and i welcome the attempt by the minister end up as soon as possible with these two reports ; this is why i think it is positive in principle your proposal that , if possible , we are discussing the subject in december . 
fruit of all this , we have drawn up a parliamentary report modification of the directive , which raises improvements in various aspects conducentes the strengthening of the classification system , as a means and valid instrument in order to guarantee the safety of maritime traffic . 
however , the legacy of so many years , in which materials were simply spills , remains , and has sometimes returned to rise to haunt us , often with serious consequences . 
for this purpose publication of information is essential to facilitate that public opinion gets information , telephone emergency , and so on . 
i hope great achievements of the second series of proposals , and the creation of a european agency for maritime safety . 
i think laudable their arguments , but we can only negotiate on results that have been analysed in the council . 
we know , of course , that in the past port state control has not been an issue strong on maritime safety , we know that not all of the classification societies have exercised seriously and correct , but rather chapucera , its function of technical inspection of ships , and we know that tankers without double hull are bombs time floating . 
we are building a new credibility on the one hand , and we should not echarla to lose , on the other , by acting wrong of the commission . 
anyone who does not take that responsibility has to stay away from our waters and ports . 
the watts report tightens up the measures against ships to submit risks serious or flying the flag of convenience , without removal of this type of flags . 
in spite of everything , i am glad that the commission 's proposals have been adopted the main demands made by those who have been elected by the coastline french : ban on tankers with single-hull strengthening controls in ports and evaluation of the classification societies . 
also , i share your view of boosting the obligation of the voyage data recorders . 
the guarantees of navigability of a ship demanded important measures on societies and responsible on inspection , as has already been said . 
in conclusion , i would say that these measures do not have a firm commitment to achieve the degree of safety desired . 
as everyone is saying , and i think it is entirely justified , which has not been achieved still the current 25 % demanded of control by the port state . 
it is now time to simple commitments , for that matter , some vaticinan a difficult compliance . 
with regard to the classification society , i would like to again on this occasion - and this is also my task - as follows : the attention main of the current discussion seems to be focused on the responsibility . 
with regard to the port control , it is important to make progress in the do of regulations and efficiency of the inspections . 
the laxness off the big companies shows no doubt that are more powerful than the democratic institutions . 
. ( el ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , an issue whose aim is the safety of ships and , therefore , the security of the people and environmental protection , it is a very serious matter . 
the reports that have been tabled are in line with this . 
we agree with the imposition of a minimal threshold for personal damage or death and material damage and providing the possibility for member states to increase these limits . 
the introduction of new technologies and improvements in the designs of vessels are part of this important task . 
it is necessary that we work towards a consensus at the highest possible level of regulation and of maritime safety . 
i am pleased to assure you that the commission will support many of the amendments proposed in these three reports . 
the commission can accept amendments nos 6 , 7 and 8 , but can only partly accept amendment no 1 . 
it is hoped that the imo engages the timetable phase-in at its meeting in april of next year . 
the work of the commission is to confirm that the classification society continues to fulfil the qualitative criteria of the directive and monitor the work of the classification societies . 
the commission appreciates the support received by the limit proposed by originally . 
again , this highlights the urgent adoption of a reinforced , preventive and remedial community measures for the protection of our seas . 
mr turco , i understand your message , and will consider in this . 
what has to be clear from this point is that now already in the hands of the council to make rapid progress . it seems that with regard to my report there is agreement . 
madam president , i would like to table the proposal to amend the amendment of way to begin with the words : " urges , 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 the reform of the commission ( aspects relating to the committee on budgetary control ) ( com ( 2000 ) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / 2215 ( cos ) ) 
mckenna report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) 
the immunity of capital is strengthened with the privatisation of classification societies that have gone into the hands of the shipowners , by the lack of control substantial inspection by state authorities , and even the complicity of the federal authorities . 
that is why i think it is very positive that the rapporteurs watts , vachetta and piétrasanta tried to close the fissures that were still in the commission proposal . 
the responsibility of the practical implementation of these measures is the case in the member states . 
single hull tankers should not be able to navigating here when after the year 2005 , 2010 or 2015 have disappeared in other areas . 
however , mr hatzidakis is advancing proposals restricting the commission . 
the promotion of a more stringent regulations at international level must remain a fundamental objective of our policy of maritime safety . 
it is particularly important to make it clear that the principle that the polluter must pay is fully in force . 
this community action has to double with revitalization of the imo , which , with a real power police to ensure that we implement the code ism , it would be an effective instrument , image of europol . 
while the penalties for infrigir standards are lower than expenditure on respected , companies that want the maximum profits will continue to opting for the wrong direction . 
preparation of the nice council 
instead of promote upstream human rights and social rights , the charter will facilitate operations designed to reduce them . 
unfortunately , i do not find this point in the resolutions tabled . 
although , as many , i regret sometimes that prime minister , lionel jospin , has been expressed in a few occasions during this six-month term " because of the cohabitation ' , i know the important impetus which has given permanently their ministers , and i wish to point this out . 
with regard to the social sphere , the proposals are very timid and even give content effective in the transactions accepted at the lisbon summit , in particular with regard to the need to strengthen the economic and social cohesion . 
in this respect should not be taken any decision on the development of the eu that conllevase the risk of alienar to the citizens of europe . 
the british people wants a reform of the eu which increases the responsibility and efficiency . 
this text takes the pretext of the future ( and increasingly distant ) enlargement calling for the strengthening of a system already exhausted . 
now , the thing is that burns not only between the ' big " and the ' small ' , but also between the ' big " . 
. ( sv ) we welcome and support a report which deals with many trends important in relation to the common security and defence policy . 
as is the case every year , this report ritual of the european parliament , devoted in principle to the annual assessment of the cfsp , details of the method acknowledgement of the deslizamientos progressive that consist , on the basis of a gap in nature federalist obtained in one area given , to seek trojans enlargement , detriment both of the treaties and the decisions of the european councils . 
charlando with me , was warned that it is organizing a military force of the states of europe , a force able to speak in order to maintain peace in europe and environs . 
furthermore , it is not the task of the european parliament define what capacity must possess a force for european intervention or if within this context , for example , should have intervention capacity air and marine . 
the future conflict is not impossible to solve with military interventions but by means of a policy of social justice , economic and ecological . 
we radically opposed to this european army , like nato and our own national army . 
for example , there are points which go too far in relation to the cfsp and nato , using the " threats of armed intervention ' as a means of pressure in the activities of conflict prevention , which contradiction to the un charter . 
a decade after the revolutions which took place in the east , we think it is a sad signal that the ' peace project european " sends with these reports to the applicant countries . 
precisely six of these paragraphs contain statements that have to do with the subject . 
unfortunately , includes the clear aim of cancelling the national laws on abortion or even penalize or remove the traditions of faith that are opposed to abortion . 
if you know , many tens of thousands of women concernidas of the european union alegrarían that we are dealing here provisions of the law of the domestic work which exists in the black economy . 
smet proposing , among other things , to establish a european definition of the domestic work . 
the needs of the workers household should be taken into account when drafting labour legislation . 
they have paid contributions for their pensions to the various national governments that have made disappear very quickly and a good prestidigitadores . 
finally , the group union for a europe of nations reminds urge that the citizens of the european union expect more than ever that the reform measures and appointments being followed up with taking account of the diversity of opinion and convictions expressed in our countries . 
as regards human resources , the merit of agents and greater transparency in terms of staff policy in general have to build up in the strengths of the new administrative reform . 
on the occasion of this explanation of vote , i would like to reiterate and emphasise that , unfortunately , parliament does not have all the powers that should have . 
i would like to conclude with a comment concerning the procedure . 
indeed , mr barón crespo , the reports are contradictory . 
this is not a wish of the socialist group . 
this is precisely the reason that we see with difficulties : it is an important summit and everything we say we defending them . 
i have in mind that the commission is to meet tomorrow evening to discuss , above all , understand clearly what were the conclusions of the intergovernmental conference . 
( parliament gave its agreement on the proposal ) 
i would be very grateful if atendiera this request . 
and i condemn that a few days ago , one that was hunger strike as a display of solidarity , murdered in rotterdam a fraction of the grey wolves . 
of course , this would not have done lacking , if in june the council had been a little more attention , or if you had paid at least some attention to our first reading , and the amended proposal of the european commission already acercaba much to what we wanted . 
thirdly , we must consider if the provisions which we want to adopt will contribute effectively to improve the operation of the internal market and whether they are provided in connection with the objective that we are pursuing . 
the second concern predominantly legal , has led us , on the contrary , to make even more narrows the interdependence between market harmonisation and health protection and continue thoroughly the guidelines set out in the reasons why the court of justice has annulled recently the directive on the advertising , reasons which only through a reading instrumental can lead to the conclusion that both aspects are incompatible . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , 80 cases fatal to the new variant of creutzfeldt-jakob disease in europe and the european union , its council of ministers , the commission and parliament decided to ban animal meal and the entry of cattle over 30 months in the food chain without evidence preconditions . 
we believe that it is obvious that articles 95 and 133 represent the legal basis of this directive , as proposed by the commission in amendment no 1 . 
agree with the court , a total ban on tobacco advertising is not justifiable on behalf of the good functioning of the internal market . 
with regard to the descriptores , as ' low tar ' , ' mild ' and ' light ' , yet i still think that are deceptive , and that is why i am against amendments nos 10 and 30 . 
and i also want to talk of requirement in the treaties . 
the rapporteur , mr maaten , with good criterion proposed strengthening the legal basis with a reference to other article , article 133 on the external trade , and has also proposed a number of changes in some of the articles in order to avoid impugne this directive on the basis of jurisprudence established by the court of justice 's judgment . 
i am very sorry that the committee on legal affairs and the internal market have arisen positions which consider that , in some way , the court of justice 's ruling on banning the advertising of tobacco void of content this proposal for a directive . 
in fact , in my capacity as a member of the committee on environment , public health and consumer policy , i have received strong pressure of several groups in the sense of regulate in a harder sale and presentation of tobacco products in europe . 
however , and this is a whole irony , i do not see in this directive no ban on grow tobacco within the community , despite the fact that in countries such as greece tobacco grown is so strong that , under this directive , its use for the manufacture of tobacco products would be establishing crime . 
i believe it is also necessary to thank mr byrne for demonstrating so clearly in relation to the legal basis . 
more than half a million people die absurdly every year in the european union , and this figure is bound to grow if we do not act now . 
in my opinion , this legal basis nor futile and that is why it is right that the trade unions , companies and that our colleagues here relate to the loss of jobs . 
i want to opt for warnings fotográficas , inclusion of a list of ingredients reasonable , research to be carried out in the whole of europe , to take measures health promotion contributing to eliminate young people of tobacco consumption , of tar , nicotine and addiction . 
also in the environment committee had willingness to reach a compromise . i am thinking here of mrs . 
the derogation would apply to article 3 , as i understand the amendment , which is to say to the levels of tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide . 
given the general character of the directive , we cannot separate some parts of the other , and we therefore have to wasting everything . 
the estampación of a warning large in some cardboard would be an appropriate solution . 
finally , in the report has been tabled a total of 54 amendments , and i am pleased to inform you that the commission can accept 33 , is totally or partially . 
the main argument in favour of these amendments and the preparation of a report once after five years affects the question of the enlargement of the european union , which , as was said at the nice summit , it is very timely and appropriate . 
in short , summertime seems to go hand in hand with a better quality of life , so that the positive effects for the period in which it has outweigh amply the problems passengers connected with the actual change . 
summertime is not the problem of our common house europe . 
a review only on the part of the commission within five years is sufficient . 
on the other hand , there are the demands of the manufacturers of computers or of tachographs electronic or timetables and agendas . 
madam president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , we must authorise quickly and unbureaucratic medical research , which is necessary to patients , but it must be comply strictly borders ethically motivated and people who are the subject of the experiments must be protected máximamente against the abuse . 
this is an important distinction that we do here in our report . 
although there are still some points of disagreement with the council , i should like to point out that the result that we want to get through the adoption of this directive is the result of a long and fruitful work compromise on the part of mr liese , our rapporteur , whom i thank and congratulate him on his management participatory and constructive , and on the part of the council , which has been cooperative and open to the amendments approved by the environment committee in second reading . 
i am thinking above all in research in the framework of the fight against cancer , but there are many others . 
unfortunately , despite all the measures relating arise new threats and diseases , and on many occasions medicinal products with which we are not enough to eradicating them . it is a duty of the community medical exploring ways updated or more effective against these challenges . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 12.30 p.m . 
what we agreed with the council and the commission and , of course , with the committee on environment , public health and consumer policy of parliament , to prevent a second reading and be able to continue without obstacles these programmes , and that is not to create empty , was that yes , ampliaran in two years four programmes , as requested by the commission , but that the money to be annually , if meanwhile we had the approval and walked into force of the new programme on health , were not necessary enlargement or use the money for the second year . 
in a general way , it is time that the member states should reach agreement on to give the european union , on a subject legitimately supranational , more room for manoeuvre and a budget appropriate : diseases know no frontiers . 
in fact , international organisations such as europol have said that the import of drugs to the union is increasing . 
public health is part of national policy and must remain so . 
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 the adoption of a framework decision on the statute of the victim in the process criminal ( 9650 / 2000 - c5-0392 / 00 - 2000 / 0813 ( cns ) ) . 
other initiative at international level is the statement from the united nations on the fundamental principles of justice to the victims of crimes and abuses of power , approved by the resolution 40 / 34 of the general assembly on 29 november 1985 . 
you will remember perhaps the debate held some time ago in this house on the so-called di pietro report . 
this initiative has three main aspects : the right of the victim to information , access to justice and the right to compensation for damage . 
however , in my opinion , the key element is the fact that finally takes conscience , also in the field of the union , the need to change the view regarding the state intervention in relation to offences . 
we should force the member states to fundaran command of the police for crime victims . 
italy has asked for on several occasions , the extradition of this murderer multiple to france , where lojacono is free , so that it can finally fulfil its worth . 
victims must be the focus of attention . 
as you have pointed out , the draft framework decision contains three different types of measures : firstly , it establishes minimum standards relating to the rights of victims ; secondly , lays down specific rules addressed to take account of the special position of those people who are victims of crime in a member state other than that of his state of origin and , thirdly , invites the states to the development of support measures for the victims . 
is already working on interconnection at european level of the national services of victim support with the aim of ensuring adequate attention of the victims , particularly if not lie in the place of commission of crime . 
approval of the minutes of the previous sitting 
has the floor again mr varela , president of the committee on fisheries , responsible for the fund . 
wonderful ! 
the last tuesday , in a trialogue which we have taken the last retoque to the joint declaration of the council and parliament . 
in this way , we have achieved a solution for the 2001 budget . 
we must consider internally how in the area of aid policy we can ensure that all the existing needs develop in towards a transparent procedures . 
we ask for your name and told us : " is the innombrable " . 
the council has proceeded , therefore , to the second reading of the budget , bearing in mind the agreements signed with parliament 's delegation , with the constant desire of voting on a budget which will allow finance all the priorities of the european union and to respond to the real needs and the capacity actual implementation of the appropriations . 
the third important element of this second reading of the council concerns the agreement reached on the allocation of the programme ' entrepreneurial spirit " that is continuing and complete the programme ' employment initiative ' for the years 2001 to 2005 . 
more generally , i would like to stress that the budgetary procedure is to conclude in a few days has shown the interest of the interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 . 
the discussions were sometimes contrary , but were always relevant and based on exchanges permanent have allowed us to understand better each other and , therefore , find it easier to an agreement , which i hope will be satisfactory to all . 
it is essential that , as a result of the democratisation of serbia , no country in the region of the balkans , has now less aid of the planned before taking place this developments in serbia . 
in fact , the use replicated , two years row , the flexibility instrument can be considered , wrongly in my opinion , as a form of revision of the financial perspective . 
haug has to make some changes . today , we have heard the council say that it is prepared to implement an increase of 3.5 % . 
thank you very especially to the commission and the council . 
mr president , i would also like to thank mrs haug on her excellent work . 
i suspect that incidentally form sencilla- flexibility is for the small amounts and the revision to the great , but in the next few years we will see how it works . 
we are faced with the situation in which we have to decide whether we can or not to approve this budget next thursday . of course , we must look at it very carefully . 
but the interinstitutional agreements between the three institutions are also important that seeks to achieve that we have a common security planning . 
the increasing pressure relates , in particular to unemployment , the bse crisis and the stability pact in the balkans . 
. ( fr ) madam president , ladies and gentlemen of the european parliament , i am very happy to be before you today to present to you the results of the french presidency of the union and also to assess the progress made in recent months . 
we promised : there is no fleco of nice . 
it is up to the procedure of strengthened cooperation that has been provided widely in the first and third pillars . 
it is both a huge challenge and a historic stage towards reunification of our continent . 
thanks to this letter our union strengthens , safest one of the values of dignity , freedom and solidarity that the based . 
and a few weeks ago , the freighter ievolu sun , that there were chemicals , averiaba near the islands anglonormandas . 
we had set objectives and have been fulfilled . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , this six-month period , i believe to be able to say that today , has seen to our union strengthened preparing to accept new members , to convene the family now that we are sure to work together ; strengthened also at the heart of our fellow citizens in the field of values , in the growth of employment , on the issue of solidarity , security and the preservation of the european social model ; strengthened and gain hearing in the international stage . 
these are some of the issues that were subjected to the attention of the heads of state and government . i will quote another , a novelty that , i sense , have no less important , as in nice has also been discussed the organisation itself summits , its unwieldiness , its complexity and nature travelling , and the european council has taken the wise decision to go celebrándolas all in brussels . 
however , it is very worrying that the number of members of parliament has served , in conclusion , as variable compensation for the balances in the council . these problems and other related to the same must devote more attention in the future moving from a defence role to play a more proposal . 
( applause ) 
( applause ) 
the ambition , which took nice was the greater european ambition for a meeting at the summit for many years . 
madam president , mr president of the republic , mr president of the commission , ladies and gentlemen , the opinion of my group is severe for the fifteen after arts little promising that have given europeans , probably estupefactos to see on this occasion , and direct what is really happening with the common view , with the spirit of solidarity , with the mutual trust of the main leaders of europe . 
for any mind clear-sighted , are anunciadores of very serious consequences to which leads the draft federal europe with 27 or 28 member states . 
please allow me also emphasise , mr president , that following nice , france is again only loser . 
madam president , mr president , the group for a europe of democracies and diversities regrets that the presidency has not handled the message to you was conveyed in july . 
many people still the port needs arribar on occasion , the european union . 
therefore , there is also a limit must be considered . 
i believe that it is not only the opinion of the three political groups but also other but which have not been able to sign for technical reasons . 
so , it is desirable to promote the development of medicines in the community , which in this way , it is possible to offer patients greater possibilities to benefit from treatments highly effective . 
i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball on his first report to the european parliament . 
surprisingly has the floor to mr fatuzzo and i am curious to know what pensioner said now what . 
the victim must be treated as a person a special situation of confusion and anguish ... factors which are likely to become much more serious , if the victim of crime in a member state other than their own . 
the next item is the joint debate on : 
it was hopelessly see how concentraban debates on the issue of know whom it would be given a vote or a vote less , who would , if germany and france , if the netherlands and belgium , if portugal and spain . 
we are pleased that implement a new method and we hope that , after this hope , which is based on the possibility of strengthened cooperation , europe continue to be able to produce , for the future , a constitution that returned to our fellow citizens hope , within this formidable project , which is the european enterprise . 
the applicant states preparing for enlargement , will follow the example of egoism of our own member states . 
some are more happy that other , but the main message is clear : europe can now meet in a democratic and enlarged eu , which , moreover , is close to its citizens thanks to the treaty of nice . 
has dominated the particular interest . 
to reach an agreement in extremis on the treaty , has been avoided a overt crisis which would have challenged enlargement but we can talk of a crisis latent with which we must now face . 
i do not believe that it is more realistic to fight for reassert its own national prestige to fight for the effectiveness of the operation of the union , and i do not believe that european citizens mobilised mass to continue the battle naval of its rulers in nice . 
it will , however , what great project , eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall ! 
on that occasion was true for half of europe and we now have to do so for the whole of it . 
after nice , because it is not possible to invoke the obstacle institutional . 
firstly , the institutional imbalance : the council very much , the commission and parliament little . 
this method has died . 
the consequences for europe would have been absolutely incalculable . 
for example , you know that the principle of the european union , the blocking minority could train with what we refer to two countries ' major " and at the moment there are three . 
the ground is paid , enlargement is possible , the european parliament has its own place in the debate , in the deepening of the ways and ideas . 
the european public , which nobody is repository - mr moscovici is right on this point - cannot be based on the sum of national interests that are cross and neutralizan and , in this respect , the prime minister verhofstadt has launched a message salvador . 
we recommend it to be ratified . 
personally , i believe that the re-weighting of votes must take account of the population , such as in the european parliament and should have been done in the council too . 
but nice , mr president , is not the end of the way , but the point of departure for a new stage with many challenges . 
therefore , i should like to return to what has already been said here today on some occasions . 
although , in fact , it seems that we have managed to avoid paralysis of the total future enlarged european union , the wishes of the french presidency could not be reflected in the new draft treaty . 
mr president , for my part , nice deserves , frankly , a inadequate . 
i do not know whether the commission will respond to the end of this debate , but i would like to know , given the absence of the council , if you have the same confident that in 2004 the european parliament will have members czechs , hungarians and polish and of the baltic countries . 
we have not hidden the need to make progress with the same force and the same determination that we had before nice by way of enlargement to achieve the objectives that we have and that is the quotation more important with history that parliament and commission are to meet in the coming years . 
on the other hand , and , above all , the problem of the financing of the balkans remains unresolved for the coming years . 
for my part , i would like to congratulate the rapporteurs , the president of the committee on budgets , the commission , the council and the presidency for the work done by the conclusion of this agreement will enable us to vote on the budget for 2001 . 
it is also good to be made available for small and medium-sized enterprises , as main creators of jobs , additional funds . this will create new jobs and maintaining the fight against unemployment . 
in football terms , is like a dead heat to 1 . 
not because we have a budget and we have reached an agreement in the conciliation we must imagine that all our problems have disappeared . 
this relevance the won not air , but of the treaties , even though the council is costing recognize this . 
this must be accompanied by a commitment of the college of commissioners for a fair distribution and effective human and material resources for the management of the various policies , i.e. , must remember the priority policy of parliament and the priority of management of the commission . 
therefore , the task of the level common european is precisely to advance the preservation and regeneration of the environment . 
much has been said about the stage post-nice . 
of course , is right in referring always to this question . 
there is no longer mention of the fear of military violence , or of a possible progress of the dictatorship . 
if we look carefully , is that russia is something morocco in the budget , and i also believe that this is not appropriate . 
if europeans were to depend logísticamente of russia , it would create a very dangerous situation . 
and here a tacis programme can only intervene in a way which is very limited not to say that can only be a drop of water in the ocean . 
declined the birth rate and increases the mortality and the net reduction of the population is in the order of one million people a year . 
mr . putin , and we would do so worse than he says that the question of the future status of chechnya is not the main point . 
what happens in russia , with the population , with society , which gives them the same . 
mr president , the european union has adopted in the past few years various documents associated with russia which constitute a good basis for a close relations with the russian federation . 
moreover , what means freedom for the chechen people ? 
this is the first step , then we will try to ensure that the laws to be respected , which would be the second step . furthermore , the economic development will provide more stability , and fourthly , as a result of what previous appearing traits of civil society . 
but it is an excellent report which , as the very common strategy , underlines the importance we attach to the relationship - cooperation estratégica- between the european union and russia . 
that means concentrate our efforts in key areas such as the environment - which have been mentioned several of you and nuclear safety in the region itself kaliningrad and the improvement of the coordination between the various sources of funding . 
we must avoid the mistake which one of its ladies and gentlemen referred earlier and that was made at the beginning of this century , when , after the revolution leninista 1917 , russia was totally excluded from european affairs with disastrous consequences . 
. ( fr ) as you know , the council has adopted a common position on the revision of directive 90 / 220 / ec . 
i therefore believe that in that direction are answered the questions raised . 
therefore , i am ready to propose to hold this debate , quite simply , we must choose the most appropriate framework . 
. ( fr ) i have no information sufficiently precise to respond to your supplementary question . 
you cannot say that has no information precise . 
. ( fr ) the council would remind the honourable member the conclusions adopted in its meeting of 19 may 1998 relating to fraud in the areas of alcohol and tobacco . 
all the member states have confirmed their determination to step up the fight against fraud , both in terms of its internal as in the context of their relationship . 
the european union has affirmed on several occasions , the absolute respect it deserves the right of asylum . 
in this respect , the association agreement acp-comunidad european signed in cotonou in june 2000 establishes that the community will guarantee , by 2005 , access to franchise rights to the essential products originating in the least developed countries . 
i would remind you that the presidency is not there to express the views of fulano or mengano , of this or that government but of indicate what are , in a moment ' x " , a moment " t " , the council 's positions . 
it will establish a system of compra-destrucción of these bovines not analysed in order to compensate farmers in the market price . 
the french presidency has liked from the outset that we obtain a european answer to this crisis , which is a food crisis , a social crisis and a health crisis . 
. ( fr ) in the context of the barcelona process , algeria signed a number of principles , including respect for the rule of law . 
- ( fr ) i already had occasion , some weeks ago , to explain a few thoughts on the preparation of the general assembly special session of the united nations devoted to the monitoring of the world summit on children in september 2001 . 
subject : obligations of turkey in the agreements eu-turkey association of the commission proposal on the association agreements between the european union and turkey asks the european council to look again at the situation regarding the differences outstanding for a resolution , particularly with regard to their impact on procedures for accession , in order to contribute to the international court of justice to the resolved before the end of the year 2004 . 
in this framework of the partnership that we mentioned , are you going to discuss this issue , the council and the turkish government ? 
how are adequately respected the rights of defence and will contribute in some way the mutual recognition ? 
moreover , each member state must take the decision national sovereign , compromising or not troops national in the operation . 
subject : importance of taxes to the operation of the internal market in an article published in the financial times in november , the president of the commission says that there will not be harmonisation of taxes or be set up , common standards of tax in the eu already that the tax levels are competence of the national parliaments and should remain so . 
questions nos 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 and 32 will be answered in writing . 
the stabilisation and association agreement republic of croatia / european union comes at the appropriate time . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , firstly i would like to congratulate mr baltas on his report , especially for their prompt report because it was important and proper to react quickly to changes that have occurred in croatia , which has already referred to mrs stenzel . 
the achievements in this context are really positive . 
in 1991 / 92 were expelled 250 000 croats of the kraina , of the slavonia eastern and western . 
this has certainly been a historic year for south-eastern europe . 
i think it is not a bad record for one year . 
it is an important point for us , and i hope that we can count on the support of parliament when we come back to consulting its ladies and gentlemen officially , once we have negotiated the agreement . 
the reaction against the government wahid is strong and the process seems to be stalling . 
similarly , the leaders of papua are still in prison . 
finally , in our resolution calls on the european commission to continue this trend policy . 
this is justifies the terms of the commission 's communication of the beginning of the year , even when it would be characterised by a certain euphoria consequence of those changes . 
the justice that is not ago and the refugee camps is eternizan are areas of conflict between the old and the new powers indonesians and give idea of the fragility of the process of democratization . 
the most devastating is that in the moluccas , the warriors of jihad can act as it pleases in an unacceptable manner . 
irian jaya is also a victim of the migration policy . 
and , for that reason , we have to know choose priorities , we cannot mix in the same level environmental issues , issues of social policies , issues of economic policy with the fundamental problem of respect for democracy and human rights , must be clearly a political priority of our relationship with indonesia . 
this resolution states categorically that irian jaya form part of indonesia . 
the situation has improved , and we must encourage the president wahid , but there are still some horrendous problems . 
it is clearly unacceptable tens of thousands of refugees from east timor will remain hostages at the mercy of bandits armed , on behalf of the patriotism indonesian , are trying to escape the punishment for his criminal past . 
it is by its size : the fourth country in the world population ; it is by its level economic : it is for his role regional ; it is for their environmental impact . 
we therefore need to link the resources and instruments police , administrative and criminal both between the member states , and with the eu . 
( the president cut the speaker off ) 
mrs schreyer , you said here before this house on various occasions that , as commissioner responsible for the fight against fraud , sees its task in particular in guarantee the independence of olaf . 
is the creation same a financial administration at community level the author of the problems because the models of redistribution of taxpayers ' money community established by the so-called ' communities ' are badly designed and in many cases are absolutely unwanted . 
i would very much like to congratulate the rapporteur -alguien whom i admire as a person and as a political nature - by this report , but , unfortunately , i cannot do so . 
the report is about the protection of the community 's financial interests and on how we handle and these are issues of the greatest importance . 
due to the time limit shall be brief in the exposition of the various points . 
the debate is closed . 
we have a eu legislation to protect firms of the mismanagement and now the commission has promised to introduce its own regulations to ensure that there should be delayed payments . 
we have other mechanisms to highlight examples of fraud not warned before . 
you , mrs schreyer , has just quote the council by saying that there was a member state which is opposed to the creation of a european public prosecutor . 
i believe , therefore , that is very understandable that parliament gives to the court of auditors what precisely hopes of these reports . 
neither the commission nor the member states must be able exempt from its responsibility , particularly through the referral reciprocal the responsibility of the other . 
he said in all honesty and lamentó that happen . 
it has been a step to be very helpful for the matter , and i think that it has also been very conscious , for its part include in its deliberations on the commission and the court of auditors before preparing this report . 
you can see in my explanations which i consider to be reasonable to continue to debating these proposals to see how we can lay down more intensively responsibilities . 
the first judgment decisive is the lack of harmonisation . 
i therefore believe that we must also improve article 4 . 
within the single market investors , be they private companies or funds pensiones- should be able to exercise the rights of ownership in favour of the firms in which invest , and for investors in them . 
we cannot close our eyes to reality : when there is a acquisition of actions occur restructuring of template , redundancies ... 
but what we risk do as a parliament in virtue of the amendments tabled ? 
that is the principle on which perhaps we we divide morning : the important principle of a law which aims to regulate the takeovers . 
on the contrary , it would be easier to solve the problem of determining competences of the supervisory authorities . 
the rapporteur 's amendments create confusion in the field of litigation and cannot be right that we vote in favour of the confusion in possible cases of dispute . 
a point that i want to make in connection with this directive on takeover bids is remember very strongly that million voters in my country and millions of people have pension schemes and savings based on investments in the securities market . 
this procedure which already exists in some member states , is concerned , however , it is not only in the field of takeover bids , but which goes beyond and could be analysed possibly in the framework of general review adopted by the commission in the field of company law . 
finally , i can remind you that this is a framework directive in accordance with the wish expressed by parliament at an earlier stage . 
the resale right is recognize the rights indispensable and intransferibles of creative artists to receive a proportion of the product of sales further of their works . 
on the one hand , the lobistas british fear the loss of jobs . 
consequently , the compromise adopted by the council is not only a weak reflection of the commission 's initial proposal , broadly supported by the european parliament at first reading . 
i also hope the commission 's support , at least in one of the three main points of dispute . 
it is also a question concerning the vitality and the competitiveness of the european market art . 
otherwise , article would have been sold without doubt in another place , i.e. in america . 
however , this amendment is acceptable only in part . 
competence of the postal services 
it is my proposal , mr savary . 
firstly , we must ensure that the price of postal services are favourable . secondly , we must try to ensure a high level of quality and , thirdly , we have to be able to guarantee a high availability of postal services in all areas of the european union . 
the committee on legal affairs was more demanding in regard to the limit of prices in the reserved services to provider universal , but it is equal to its proposal on the weight limit of 150 grammes and common the rejection of the 50 laid down in the proposal for a directive . 
finally , we cannot accept a new date of liberalisation in both has not prior assessment . 
we know very well the difficulties involved in this matter as full ideologically , sometimes by both sides . 
therefore , although this measure can find a applauded by certain members of this house , its consequences would be devastating for postal services across the european union . 
also will lead to the closure of small shops offer postal services in rural areas , because they depend on the postal services for their survival . 
if we continue to our speed , we will need 100 years to achieve an open market for postal services in europe . 
madam president , i would like to make three comments . 
in our deliberations on this new directive should be clear one particular issue . 
this is not the case and must be the case . 
if there is a fair competition , the monopolistic can demonstrate that know their profession . 
however , if the grandmother is glad to receive the visit of a postman mellow , which is also a postal services high quality , we must not regret it , but should also welcomed . 
anyone who comes so badly prepared to negotiations , who has not submitted the report requested on the impact recorded since 1997 , who argues ideas ideological perhaps , the objectives which you mentioned can only be achieved if liberalizamos , liberalizamos and liberalizamos- , must not be surprising if has a tropezón and falls on its face . 
mr bolkestein , the commission is the guardian of the treaties . 
bolkestein , is also releases cross-border mail . it is as if calculáramos the average income between the rich and poor ; the result could be aritméticamente satisfactory , but i could not be considered socially acceptable , because , of course , the existence of a very poor . 
there is a new era mr simpson . 
the governments that they did not were socialists but conservative and liberal . 
since there was a proposal , for me it was clear that the proposal never be acceptable in the form presented by the commission . 
because on this openness and this liberalization we all agree , but the pace is important . 
the effects of the first directive has not been made public , because the consequences are obvious : the loss of jobs and a deterioration of working conditions , inequality of operation of the public service throughout the territory , mainly in the field and in working-class areas . 
the commission proposal provides for a progressive opening up , in my opinion , will serve to improve the services to provide the consumer at a price lower . 
it is a basic requirement for the development of the sector of the direct advertising . 
i would express appeal to the british conservatives . 
let me say this to an post : if this happens , i have taken a valuable breath . 
we can only hope that one day we know overcome situations consumadas and overcome the corporatism selfish to make progress to europe really . 
it has only been liberalised 3 % of the market of letters . 
it will also repressed by technology and ignored by consumers that they will not get a good service for their money . 
only the introduction of real competition in a controlled way and progressive , according to a timetable , will help them to achieving this objective . 
with regard to amendments nos 60 and 61 , i agree with the principle of completing the internal market in a date future must be determined within a reasonable period . 
the commission will present the same view and , consequently , the council will be on the commission proposal as appropriate . 
however , parliament must now speak out . 
my second report is therefore much to the first and incorporates the amendments adopted by the house . 
it is true , mr commissioner , that we have some reservations , and some differences . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would firstly like to congratulate the rapporteur , mr dary , that such explicitly us has commented on the reform , its history and its synthesis - which i am not going to repetir- . 
production is given in a number of special regions community , the outermost regions , which have a series of difficulties to compete in the markets and that any of the few products that have this is precisely the case of bananas . 
in fact , it is a restriction of chaos , because it seeks to establish conditions which we must all regirnos . 
it is no exaggeration to say that this is an issue which is one of which have caused more attention in all the institutions . 
we must continue without complex to these producers the means to live buying foremost their production . 
mr president , we must express our thanks and recognition to the rapporteur for the treatment of this difficult report . 
i also thank the presidents of the political groups of this parliament which have accepted the persistent defence and stubborn desire of the members ultraperiféricos so that this proposal for reform of the banana sector is being discussed today in this house can deliver the opinion mandatory and thus be able to achieve time to the meeting of the council of ministers of agriculture to be held in the coming days and enter the year 2001 with a new reform of the com in bananas . 
in this debate has been a lot of talk about the apparent unanimity in the committee on agriculture and rural development in supporting the report by mr dary . 
ladies and gentlemen , i have the honour to inform you of the presence in the official gallery a delegation from the parliament of korea . 
this has allowed us to achieve a positive decision in favour of the programme average in the council . 
report ( a5-0377 / 2000 ) by mr trakatellis , on behalf of the committee on environment , public health and consumer policy , on the proposal for a european parliament and council decision [ com ( 2000 ) 448 - c5-0400 / 2000 - 2000 / 0192 ( cod ) ) relating to the prolongation of certain programmes of community action in the field of public health , adopted by the decisions no 645 / 96 / ec , no 646 / 96 / ec , no 647 / 96 / ec , 102 / 97 / ec , no 1400 / 97 / ec and no 1296 / 1999 / ec and the amendment of these decisions 
mr president , i should just like to take the opportunity to remind you , in relation to the statements made by the commissioner at 12.15 a.m. last night , amendment no 1 commits the commission . i was glad to hear mr . 
( parliament adopted the oral amendment ) 
amendment no 2 : 
parliament was obliged to insist and retable most of them ; the relating to the size of the warning , the mention of the ingredients , consumer protection and , especially young people . 
would there have been for some members , two categories of people , it is one which is protected and that is jeopardises for economic reasons ? 
. i have a special interest in explain why i voted against the export ban from the eu tobacco products above a certain level of tar , nicotine and why i supported the amendments aimed at lift the ban . 
madam president , i would welcome the proposal radical use pictures to illustrate the damage that smoking does to health , as do in canada . 
i believe that all of this is a positive step , although i would like that - and i say this on this occasion - spent a great deal more to prevent illnesses . 
i would have preferred to have this proposal raised with a regulation more consistent with the activities directed to the citizens of the whole of the european union . 
zimmerling asestarán a fatal blow to the vitality of the art market european with the loss of jobs , and i am afraid , will be very few living artists benefiting from this resale right . 
. ( nl ) i should like to express my thanks to mr zimmerling for their work in this difficult dossier . 
for this reason , i am obliged to vote against the directive . 
and the stabilisation and association agreement , the cards programme and the european investment bank cannot be the main instruments of the european union 's contribution to the economic and social development of croatia . 
the indonesian government and army are obliged to guarantee the life and the safety of citizens , regardless of the credo which profess . 
we must therefore created as soon as possible the necessary instruments for combating fraud involving eu funds more effectively . 
the measure would make the eu in an area single legal for research purposes , initiating judicial inquiry and implement the judgments relating to this type of crime . 
sometimes , it seems as if we lose sight of this aspect . 
amendments nos 11 and 13 aim at which the quota system is not revised until within 10 years , without adopted now no compromise with regard to the adoption of the system of tariff only proposed by the commission and demanded by several trading partners our . 
with regard to the recital on the preference for the acp countries , we also agree with the total amount of eur 300 per tonne , but it seems to us unnecessary the added " as maximum " . 
furthermore , the chances of our trading partners to accept a extension so prolonged would be virtually spoilt . 
the next item on the agenda , proceed to the commission statement on the eu summit / united states of america . 
i recognise that it is easier said than done , but we should try to resist the temptation - and i know that the secretary of state albright shares this view - that these summits being too envueltas at the heart of our political and economic relations daily . 
one of the main lessons has been that we europeans should tolerate a greater burden of promoting european security . 
i would be grateful if examine in detail this aspect in the communication scheduled for this spring , and also ofreciese , in addition to the analysis which has asked for the other side of the house , proposals in connection with all the points on which we have the possibility of achieving new objectives in the future in the framework of dialogue and cooperation in the field of foreign policy and security policy , but also in relation to issues pragmatic , as can be mutual recognition agreements . 
i am also aware of the " everything but arms " initiative , which i welcome and i would urge the commission to use the holding of the summit , to urge the united states to return to subscribe to this initiative . 
we must therefore act to prevent the irreversible which expects those and those who , as mumia abu-jamal or leonard pelletier , are in death row for years . 
it is an idea useful and certainly we will continue . 
thank you , commissioner . 
i fear that , at the moment , i find under barrage of my own group . 
thirdly , it must acudirse to formulae simple for the collection of taxes and , in particular , to the form of reversal of the passive subjects . 
the first conclusion is that very little can be done unless they are changed this international framework . 
mr president , the first point that the commission wish to which i represent is that the provisions in force are inimical to suppliers of the eu following services : software , data processing and computer services , web hosting [ practice which is host websites of third parties ] , design of websites and information . 
always had heard one of the first rules or principles of a legislator should be : not enact laws that there can be complied with . 
i am pleased that in the report , partly thanks to the environment committee , includes a series of important elements received insufficient support due to a wealth of circumstances in the committee on transport . 
however , to change the order existing in matters of international , we will have to argue for the amendment of the convention chicago of 1994 . 
the position advantageous than can be achieved in the short term , a country the obtains at the expense of another or other eu states . 
mr president , europe will be a pioneer in the use of the internet in the next decade . 
there are those who are wonder , commissioner , why the europe we are always so quickly to set taxes and establish new rules . 
the convention chicago has non-starter on this point . 
i do not think that the introduction of a common system of vat is a priority and i do not agree with the introduction of a common system is long overdue . 
our aim must therefore be desbrozar and simplify our tax systems and not to increase , but reduce taxes . 
the preferred option in much is zero rate for the e-empresas european , for situarlas on an equal footing with the american companies and other parts of the world . 
tax competition is in the interests of citizens and the economy . 
thus , for operators outside the union be subject to the same fiscal obligations that operators household when seek to services to consumers , must be registered for the purposes of vat in a member state of their choice , still the type of vat should state chosen the applied to its operations . 
it is true that the situation is not , however , so simple . 
the place of origin which must apply the tax is a matter of concern and i believe that the deliberations on the number of countries which would conditions to which businesses can be registered in them will be a difficult issue and , of course , unleashes a complaint from the united states with the wto . 
is completely lacking in sense i can travel from london to brussels ida and back by hardly 89 pounds in virgin airways , for example , whereas when i use eurostar , which produces far fewer greenhouse gases and offers a way of travel much easier , should pay the equivalent to a £ 250 for a trip similar . 
mr president , this debate see how resurgen old demons . 
finally , there has been talk of proposals which would have been able to make the french presidency for imposing it did in the place of consumption , with obligation for the borrowers of be registered in all member states . 
the measure would place in a position to disadvantage european airlines in relation to those of third countries and distorsionaría structures of the tariffs intra-community with regard to the intercontinentales . 
however , it seems to me that only in the framework of the oecd and not by individual negotiations occasional will be possible to find a solution which does not resulting in a way out of cities of europe . 
i am aware that certain members are consumed with different opinions . 
this avoids the complexity offshoot of the application of macro-economic criteria or similar . 
let me deal with now the proposal concerning the minimum level of the normal rate . 
one of the consequences secondary is that we have not undertaken any preparatory work importance within the working groups icao and it seems unlikely that during the forthcoming general assembly decides renegotiate the chicago convention . 
this feeling , unfortunately , lives on still today in the minds of public opinion in europe . 
and the final objective of this directive is to strengthen the management of the urgent situations in the sea , through the obligation to designate ports of refuge , the ban on departure sea over a strong storm and a greater powers of intervention in the sea by the coastal state in the event of serious risk of pollution . 
the oil companies tell us that they have created a voluntary fund . 
i hope that after the momentum of nice , have reduced the doubts and the resistance of some countries and achieve this . 
we hope , of course , in it for guaranteeing safety at sea , because must realize that it is not a week without that we are interpelados on this question : " what are you doing , members of the european parliament , in order to guarantee security , to change the rules ? " . 
mr president , the commission is aware that one of the plans announced by the united kingdom government on 8 november 2000 is the introduction of a kind of rate for the road users the same type as the viñeta who pay all the road hauliers , british and not british alike , to use the road network of the united kingdom . 
secondly : if , in accordance with the original intention of the minister , it proposes tax lorries foreigners to subsidise carriers of your country , is that contrary to community law ? 
this imbalance of an economic nature between charges and taxes on lorry drivers in the various member states distorts the conditions under which carriers of different nationalities compete in the united kingdom . 
on the issue of animal meal : its export is covered exactly the same for legislation regulating the production of bone meal and bone meal in the european union , and it is also subject to the obligation to remove some of the animal meal , for example , the leftovers from sick animals , legislation which will enter into force on 1 march 2001 . 
the jews are traitors and unfair . 
i have great hopes that in all the countries of the region uncover that services of education promote tolerance and not intolerance . 
the response from mr monti is not unexpected . 
question no 37 by ( h-0900 / 00 ) : 
furthermore , the commission will propose at the same time a subsidy mechanism of aid temporary designed specifically to counter unfair practices korean during the period necessary until the conclusion of the wto procedure . 
this is a subject dramatic . 
the industry user of coque used in total for 70 , 000 people , but this product represents no more than a very marginal of its costs around 2 % . 
question no 40 by ( h-0889 / 00 ) : 
we have transmitted our proposal to the acp countries virtually at the same time that our member states . 
this initiative is not the other hand aimed at regulated , i must reassure him , in both the extra money that could importarse in the community market are low . 
these countries are not , unfortunately , taking account of their situation , no capacity for negotiation autonomous and therefore it is a gesture which , in my opinion , we must do unilaterally , without any counterpart . 
the procedure of the commission to grant financial aid will be completed within a short time , and this will also affect the resources that ecpat needs for the year 2001 . 
. we are following three types of activities in this area . 
in the commission proposal is not the question of the geographic location of the future court . 
. i am not sure what you meant by ' proliferation " . 
. ( nl ) the question by mr berenguer fuster relates to the trade names . 
the take as a stimulus for resume our action and try to that spain has done as soon as possible what it should do . 
the previous question answered that is the fault of spain and you will do what should be done ; in this case , however , is the fault of you . 
it has been a good explanation to the answer i had been given previously . 
the directive 89 / 48 / eec relates to titles of vocational training with a minimum of three years after the secondary education . 
subject : transport services maritime in the straits of the gulf of bothnia between vaasa ( finland ) and umeå ( sweden ) maritime transport of the straits of the gulf of bothnia will no longer function which has ceased to be profitable from that shipping companies have been deprived of the opportunity of exercising duty-free sales . 
for example , in the city of vaasa which i referred to , have been lost over the last two years 550 jobs precisely in the tourism sector , probably due to the same cessation of duty-free sales . 
this proposal follows the objective of the lisbon summit , because it seeks to stimulate the development and use of the digital content . 
also , i would urge the commission to draw up procedures convening of presentation of proposals more effective and rapid . 
if only we include the content useful for companies , specifically the weather and geography - which is very hoped - we must not forget that , in relation to the content allocated to the citizens , this is a much more complex than the useful information for companies . 
the digital content , which represent more quantity to quality , homogenizan and condensan diversity social . 
the second point , as essential as that of the previous in my view , is that we take account of small and medium-sized enterprises , enterprises in phase of launch . 
however , if we make a virtue of necessity , if we invest perspective and we see our languages not as barriers , but as bridges , as an advantage , and as such using them , they can be the basis of the european market and a degree of independence . 
i shall not dwell on the objectives of this programme : conditions favourable to the marketing ; dissemination and use of the digital content , in order to encourage the economic activity , widening the possibilities of employment ; to promote the use of the potential of the digital content europeans in comparison with and vis-à-vis the united states . 
therefore , is becoming increasingly important to have the right conditions for the production of digital content multilingual europe . 
some of them are themselves certainly very valuable , but they will be better located in other instruments that in this decision . 
the vote is not going to make this afternoon and , if the largest group in this parliament believes that , tomorrow , we should not vote , it seems to me that the correct is that this proposal is present tomorrow , when the vote and with parliament in plenary , instead of doing so today , which seems to me to be hurried . 
. ( nl ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , in europe there is ever more citizens who are suffering inconvenience for the noise . 
the member states are free to decide when begins afternoon and when the period night that i continues . 
i am glad , therefore , on the commission proposal , although i see as a first step far too cautious . 
consequently , the reduction and prevention of environmental noise should be in the future a fundamental aspect of the european environmental policy . 
the group of the united left has given its support gladly , although we would have liked to have arrived a little further in the search for solutions to be final and in the way to treat those who make money out of noise pollution . 
but in any case , allow me to say something about dimes and diretes and on the fight behind the scenes within the commission and around him in recent times , and here today . 
in consequence , will not conceal that my country will have a huge difficulty in accepting the commission proposal , unless it incorporates a mechanism sufficient flexibility to the way of life inherited from our forefathers and , on the other hand , so appreciated both by the own spanish as by our visitors foreigners , can be maintained . 
however , i would commend to the house the report and , of course , the commission proposal . 
secondly , is the daughter directives relating to the standards of quality . 
i would like to fully support the need to harmonise noise indicators and methods of evaluation , the whole area of maps of noise , drafting plans of action to reduce noise and protect areas quiet as appropriate and extend the scope of the public information . 
secondly , this proposal uses a new approach to make an evaluation of the general situation of the noise in europe , in terms of the number of people who are affected by the noise . 
are acceptable in principle or in part , the following amendments : amendment nos 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 , 17 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 39 , 42 , 44 and 45 . 
moreover , in general , additives cannot be used for the unprocessed products - what is happening in this case - in other words , which have not been subject to any treatment has altered substantially state initial . 
mr president , on the environment committee we voted , together with the ppe group in favour of mr lannoye 's report , which , on the other hand , coincides with our aspirations . 
nobody is that . 
the next item is the debate on the report ( a5-372 / 2000 ) by mr staes , on behalf of the european parliament delegation in the conciliation committee on the joint text approved by the conciliation committee , the european parliament and council directive amending directive 95 / 53 / ec of the council for establishing the principles relating to the organisation of official controls in the field of animal nutrition ( c5-0499 / 2000 - 1998 / 0301 ( cod ) ) . 
the french presidency i was a clear signal , a message obvious . a message which said : " will not be " . 
after lengthy negotiations in the conciliation committee has finally been reached an acceptable compromise : the guarantee that safeguard measures taken by the commission will remain in force until are replaced by another decision , and the commitment of member states to give all the help the commission officials who carry out on-the-spot checks . 
i welcome this legislation . 
the eu structural funds , primarily through the esf , as well as the finances of public finance , must always be aimed at developing less-favoured areas and poorest of our society . 
the cities of europe are important poles economic , political and socio-cultural . 
other tools are laws clear and rigorous controls . 
the commission also appreciates the important support that has been given the european parliament in this proposal , as well as the many of useful amendments which have been tabled . 
given the nature of the activity , the commission can accept amendments nos 10 and 23 . 
i say famous because it is an issue which is very fashionable , and will agree with me that is not a day , which the precautionary principle is not present in the holders of the press , with or without reason , with or without reason , but the majority of the times of wrong way to go . 
the maximalist seek to block the innovation and progress , while the minimalist advise recourse to the precautionary principle only in the event of danger significant for the health and the environment , is to say when rebase a threshold below which must be defined , but without know very well how ! 
the clarification of the different functions which must make each is a prerequisite to restore the necessary public confidence in the scientific community , as well as in those responsible for decisions , us politicians . 
in such situations tends to be observe a safety margin , for prudence . 
we have also called for measures in the world trade organisation , perhaps regulation , to ensure invoking other obligations in the context of the wto , such as those we have entered into in multilateral agreements on environment , to extend the scope of the precautionary principle . 
obviously , it is also important to increase the legal weight of the precautionary principle by making in a rule of international law . 
the art of live is to receive and deal with these risks and uncertainties cautiously . 
as soon uses them too , with what trivializa , as use less and provokes our indignation . 
we have , for example , phthalates in toys . we have the strange idea of introducing toys in the sweets , ice cream and other products edible . 
the same applies to the pretence of the commission to make a thorough analysis of risks in advance . 
the resolution calls upon the commission to use the guidelines adopted and incorporates the precautionary principle whenever necessary when drawing up its legislative proposals and all its actions . 
it is not possible to provide a minimum of risk general . 
the grant for the first time the sakharov prize to defenders of human rights campaigning within the union , the european parliament says solemnly that any violation of human rights must be combated without concessions . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , first and foremost the initiative citizen ' ¡ basta ya ! ' wishes to express its gratitude to this parliament by the honourable recognition that today we confers . 
and it is not just murders . 
i would ask you to do what i propose and to rely on me . 
( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) 
madam president , if this house i may i should like to make one comment verbal amendment no 51 tabled by me . 
report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) by mr garcía-margallo y marfil , on behalf of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , on the commission communication to the council , the european parliament , the economic and social committee and the committee of the regions on the taxation of fuel aviation ( com ( 2000 ) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ) 
this agreement benefits some companies , but it is harmful to the environment and democracy . 
the most important event happened since our budgetary debates precedents is obviously the crisis so-called mad cow " . 
this will clearly against the letter and spirit of the agreements above-mentioned of the heads of state and government on the subject of the seats . 
parliament has managed consolidate some aspects priority , among others , greater efforts to combat unemployment and poverty , many matters concerning the environment and equal opportunities between men and women . we have voted against the attacks on the right against the life programme and against european women ' s lobby . 
the importance of the grant for kosovo is not , however , raise questions legitimate , on the ability real absorption of this region of yugoslavia of eur 350 million that had initially been foreseen allocate in 2001 . 
there is no reason to give tax advantages to a certain form of distribution . 
the fixing of a final date would be a clear information for the various players in the postal market and national monopolies could prepare better with a view to liberalisation . 
can we erase with a mere decision , supported perhaps by a small majority , a whole concept of the postal service , conception of which is its roots , and their explanations in the peculiarities of each state ? 
the limits proposed by the commission 50 grs. with a tariff of up to two and a half times the fare official are really too drastic and would have devastating effects for the providers of universal services . 
hence our clear and firm opposition to most of the aims which is intended . 
. ( sv ) we believe that the postal services are not a matter which should be treated in the eu , although the proposal , after the treatment in the commission , it has been much improved in relation to the original commission . 
dary report ( a5-0374 / 2000 ) 
however , we believe that it should be protected from the consequences of this war small producers who work in their plantations ordnance to anyone , as well as their income irrespective of the fluctuations of the market . 
in accordance with article 10 freedom of opinion contains a range of duties and responsibilities which can give rise to conditions , restrictions and sanctions . 
we can only welcome this initiative when we know that the value of the digital content european is 5 % in terms of european gdp and 4 million in terms of employment . 
in these conditions , are particularly its coherence and unity that has assured the united states a pre-eminence in this market with a future . 
i also hope that this slipping in 2004 , in this distribution of competences , applying the principle of subsidiarity so that regions and the autonomous communities can have its status within the union . 
we can only welcome this . 
for example , in the trade negotiations mentioned previously , the national parliaments will be deprived of their last rights of ratification , and a country , if it is minority in the council , can no longer say " no " when negotiations infringe their interests . 
we have noticed repeatedly the dangers of such a thing and what has happened in nice also shows , abundantly clear that an agenda considerably broader could have result that would not produced any results for years , with disastrous consequences for enlargement . 
. given the fundamental importance of the decisions that were to be taken at the nice summit , we must recognise the merits where they exist . 
in other words , what it wants the european parliament is control on taxation and the social security matters . 
these agreements of the council negotiated in long hours middle-of-the-night not offer no support sure . pose important gaps on issues such as transparency , promotion of identity , more democracy , citizen participation or conscience reforms . 
therefore , we must see its conclusions as the result of a compromise of that nobody has been entirely victor or conquered . 
on the contrary , lessen the influence of national democracies , by restricting the right to veto and that is more power to the european parliament . 
it must , therefore , vote in favour of this proposal , which is still limiting the imposition of aircraft , because in this way airline ticket will cost us increasingly less and , consequently , we can travel more with this form of transport . 
" " no passes below the balcones of houses , you may fall a tiesto above . 
the complexity and diversity of technological change and the processes structural transformation require urgently the incorporation of all local and regional partners in the regional associations for development , form part of the designs strategic regional policy for each region . 
we must therefore try to avoid anything that could strangle or diminish these three important prerequisites . 
you could say that innovation is open to all the actors who are around the production process . 
the gap between the more developed regions technologically and less is greater than that of their gdp respective . 
as is well known , the main point of bureaucrats is the danger of error . 
i do not know if it was a direct consequence of the initiative risi that three ladies have signed the european budget , but i should also be pleased if this christmas present that now we are voting benefits in future to women . 
it is also a mistake to reduce the budget in a chapter as this one which has been given to pilot schemes , to new ideas in the field of local development and urban areas - results more than aceptables- that have been on the basis of community programmes such ladies at local level , as they are urban and interreg . 
rack , i have never understood and not comprenderé never this regional policy and that cohesion policy as a kind of charity which makes the poorest regions . 
this is why , when i am in the negotiations , currently , the docup , more to deal with innovative actions , i am referring to the mainstream , i am extremely attentive to each one of the programming documents commands a plan regional access to the information society and verifico quality , beyond the scope of this regional programme , especially as regards directly to small and medium-sized enterprises , the educational establishments and even farms . 
the commission 's response to mr howitt 's question . 
the prices of construction of new boats have fallen dramatically in recent years to get in 1999 , due to the policy surcoreana , at the lowest . 
the commission had to make a vote for special that this point was today on the agenda of the debates . 
furthermore , this concept is in accordance with the treaty . i do not have time to discuss this in more detail . 
however , the commission proposal , which includes aid for research and development , the denunciation of what is happening in korea in the world trade organisation - because work with prices even below the coste- , and the possibility that there is measures transitional aid in not resolve the resource , seems to us , perhaps , a way out more or less weak , but at least a way out . 
at the same time we must increase the pressure on korea , taking anti-dumping measures , if possible within the framework of the oecd . 
that is to say that we are aguantando unemployment and the other gentlemen are those who really do the business with shipyards . 
it seems to me that makes a radiografía excellent of the shipbuilding sector in europe , a radiografía real . 
this process should not happen quick results and , in the event of reaching its final conclusion , it will take up to two years . 
the mechanism would apply until adopting a decision on this wto procedure . 
i am sure that now we are all united to defend with vigour and fortress freedom in europe , but i wanted to say that , rather than the solidarity of the colleagues in the european parliament , in spain we need your commitment . 
sailed around waters sicily , back in may , his heart nuclear displayed worrying signs of deterioration . 
the alarming would be that , in view of this situation , not actuáramos as soon as possible . 
in both expressing the need for the two member states concerned , the united kingdom and spain , cooperates closely in the search for the solution safer for the repair of the submarine , maintaining - naturally - public opinion punctually informed . 
we have heard assertions of responsible navy british by saying that the break-down was not important , and other said quite the contrary , that was scale and that was needed repair long and difficult . 
i know that the house understands that she had been here have been possible , correspondiéndome to me to respond in place . 
the commission is studying this plan . 
it is already taking place ; therefore , let us be realistic about the options available to the authorities in the uk and gibraltar that deal with the matter . 
the cooperation calmada is the method used our union . 
the british government is behaving as was recently the russian government during a break-down which took place in one of its submarines . 
mr president , i would also like to express my deepest condolences to our spanish colleagues in the last murder of terrorism of eta . 
the commission , in its clear response of two months ago , and in your reply today , has had the responsibility of acknowledge this , even if not has recognised the proposal for a resolution of the ppe group , which , together with other trivializaciones of the matter , we prevented live with that . 
the minister main peter caruana has asked wisely a group of experts to inform it directly . 
this is , and remains in our opinion , the position more coherent and the best guarantees the interests and the safety of all the parties involved . 
mrs maij-weggen and mr posselt , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; 
in 1980 unhcr was concerned with five million refugees . 
we welcome today the unhcr and the whole of the humanitarian personnel . 
. mr president , the commission would , of course , added to the support which parliament has given to the unhcr in its 50th anniversary . 
i would like to deal with a wider point that is very relevant to what the honourable member said earlier . 
b5-0909 / 2000 by mrs pack and others , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; 
and the final problem which i would like to mention is the of the terrible events in the border between serbia and kosovo . 
there must be milosevic and not in the conferences of the party in belgrade . 
we are hoping also that in the same kosovo the mentality of ethnic groups which continue to bickering give way to mutual respect . 
without get flowers , we can also say that the european union has responded very quickly to the new situation . 
b5-0915 / 2000 by mr medina ortega and others , on behalf of the pse group ; 
b5-0918 / 2000 by mrs napoletano and others , on behalf of the pse group ; 
the chilean government assured that , in chile , general pinochet would have a fair trial and , in fact , the general pinochet has lost his immunity and judicial authorities chilean are proceeding against him . 
and let me remind you that it is important that we approve this joint resolution , still now pinochet in chile , which we could not do when pinochet was in the united kingdom . 
i say this in the knowledge that these are the convictions fundamental parties of the european free alliance and the greens in this house . 
mr president , before we start my speech i should also like to join in the condemnation of the attack that has cost the lives of an elected representative of the people , and a militant and councillor of the people 's party catalonia , in spain . 
for this reason , i am pleased that my group and , in my view , the majority of our parliament , will not tow play the role of platform for the exploitation of the current crisis . 
his life is in great danger . 
the league of human rights is suspended , their local are precintados and its president , moktar trifi , has been announced before the courts , as already mentioned it , the 25 december . 
human rights activists , trade unionists , professional , journalists and students have constantly on the atrocities which are being committed by the authorities . 
your state is extremely sensitive . 
the harassment newspaper and the tundas receiving all democrats really are prevalent . 
i hope that in this case the judicial system chilean will continue to show independence and efficiency . 
we know that the heads of mission of the european union are closely following the political situation in the country . 
finally , i should like to mention the crucial role played by parliament , which has contributed to awareness and to intensify the dialogue on these matters through visits parliamentary and through public debates like this . 
laurent gbagbo must undertake a genuine policy of national reconciliation , which includes break with the speech on the concept of ivoirité , the modification of the constitution racist and democratic elections in which none of the candidates be excluded . otherwise , the risks of secession and civil war not will only increase . 
mr president , months ago the news of the ivory coast have been causing justified alarm in the european public opinion and the corresponding concern in our parliament . 
conditions are : that nobody feels excluded , disappearance of the supreme court established by the military power , and that the head of state to be involved unambiguously in the process of restoration of democracy and to listen to the views of the committee for national reconciliation . 
the concept of ivoirité seems to me , in my view , perfectly sound . 
there are available around half a dozen copies in the presidency . 
mr president , on behalf of the group of the greens , we , too , we withdraw our proposal for a resolution . 
mr president , i can confirm what mr turco just said . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
with regard to these people , the member states must pursue different policies dealing with both the subject of the necessary assistance as the issue of the coverage of expenditure , especially in the interests of disabled people whose relatives cannot become truly understand them final and completely . 
mr president , i am very pleased to speak on behalf of the group of the greens / european free alliance and congratulate the rapporteur on this excellent report . 
currently , the people ever has greater expectations of life thanks to the resources health , to information , the assistance to housing and to the pension systems . 
that can do something , with many recommendations , are the governments of the member states , the governments of the autonomous communities , provinces and municipalities . 
the basis of this concept of life is in the family , where the human being is developed since the childhood . 
often the case that , in recent years of our lives , enfermamos very seriously , we are totally disabled and we need the support of all . 
i should like , finally , to emphasise something to do with the medical assistance . 
then too we alegaba that women were not to participate in working life to the men were to work . 
in an initial analysis , this may seem a disadvantage . 
we will have to find the means and the way for that to happen . 
the innumerable elderly active should encourage us all to fight for a society where the solidarity between generations is not just a catchword . 
these measures must be adapted to the different situations and features as regards the quality of life and self-sufficient economic . 
only a common effort permanent we can help to deal with them . 
there must be an adequate margin for preferences and decisions individual . 
if someone is all the objects which lacks to our colleague , asks that the delivered ; above all their glasses , because mrs flemming was behind you , mr fatuzzo . 
finally , it would be necessary to introduce explicitly in the text the possibility of carrying out actions in favour of products outermost regions and their logos . 
another issue which must be emphasised are the methods of production in europe , environmentally friendly and animals . 
that is why i welcome the establishment of a working group on biotechnology in the european parliament this week . 
of course , these measures of institutional communication should rather complete operations advertising organised above all for the great distribution . 
if they had transposed parliament 's proposals that were adopted on three occasions by a majority - but this once again demonstrates the powerlessness of parliament , that in the set-aside areas could be cultivate legumes , could be sowing trébol and allow pastase livestock , we could have been having more basic foodstuffs more proteins for livestock . 
this is the responsibility of producers , sellers and organisations in the branches of production , but not the european union . 
we have to ask ourselves why we failed in the past in order to lead to european industry regarded the resources available . 
since then , if we can produce and to promote food in a more benévola for the environment , aware of the conditions of animals and sell in international markets , then we are doing really the vocation original common agricultural policy . 
as regards amendments nos 9 and 22 , in which calls for the creation of a management committee particular , as amendments nos 7 , 19 , 23 and 27 , which calls for other changes to the procedure , i must say that the commission must operate rules of procedure consistent . 
all the remember that in europe is still possible eat comfortable are right . 
mr president , is scientifically shown to the moderate consumption of wine is one of the best ways of preventing cancer , heart , alzheimer 's disease and many others . 
. ( nl ) i would like to commend the rapporteur for his work .
