we know very well that the current treaties are not there will be necessary in future to develop a structure more efficient and different for the union sounder structure constitutional which clearly indicate what are the competence of member states and what are the competences of the union . 
messages concern firstly before economic and social problems overcoming the , despite sustained growth , fruit of years of effort on the part of all our citizens . 
the current situation , particularly unbearable for many businesses independent transport and agriculture , must be improved . 
agree a regulation for processes is positive in itself , but we must ensure that the system can be used as the strength of dogs policy . 
they too have now a clear vision of rights that they must respect . 
i am in agreement with its implementation warn against the return , which seeks to some , intergovernmental methods . 
we are seeking to a federation of nation states . 
the rapporteurs have stressed the quality of the debate and also the need for further . of course , i should like to join . 
i also thank all those who have been particularly kindly accused of not having done this speech earlier . the latter , i would reply that before we give a speech , we must learn , minimally , evaluate the forces in presence , because the political rhetoric must always show realistic and close to the reality and the objectives that we set . 
i would like to have parte of this closer cooperation to give some examples of the new european potential . 
the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . 
the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . 
i shall vote in favour of the draft regulation . 
the reports by the european court of auditors will cease to furthermore to meet these sous-estimations , greece and portugal . 
accordingly , we have not voted for this report . 
according to the defenders of such buses , latter are only cheaper and may be used a world-wide scale , but they are also more ecological because their use of fuel per passenger is less high . 
the role of ' benchmarking ' within the dissemination of good practice across the eu is also underlined . 
a binding charter comprehensive , enumerating the human rights that absolutely must comply , risks pose difficulties at a later stage . 
i would thank them for their tremendous commitment . 
however , we do not think it dialogue can already be completed in nice in less than 3 months , the only reason enough to explain our refusal to accept the suggestion inscribe the charter in the treaties in this house at nice . 
the csu group in the european parliament welcomes the fact that the present draft charter of rights transcends and semi-acceptable to see the fundamental rights which do the citizens towards bodies and institutions of the eu . 
it is the image of the liberal europe which is built . 
indeed , i would have liked to see a pesc-aside such so that they can continue to work , as proposing a great deal of non-governmental organisations of various eu member states . 
( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ) ; 
i would therefore also to propose that the present time , the next year , the general report but be happy to national reports to show that we attach to a continuation differentiated negotiations . 
therefore secondly that , on the basis for the work which have been committed by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be able , at least i hope , would the , at the european council in nice , a fairly accurate view of the accession process . 
i have said and i do not have any wrong with repeat it here , the french presidency has éludera none of the difficulties which will inevitability , but this does not , of course , that we have time and resources to deal with each of them . 
this question is , of course , perfectly legitimate , but must be answered in a correct and accurate . 
enlargement is a broad perspective that we must deal with great with generosity and vision . 
all the results of the intergovernmental conference does not matching the exerts enormous pressure that enlargement will adaptation . 
the second major change which we are seeing and is the eu must adjust is to speeding blamed for economic development towards a global market and a global competition . 
fourthly : it follows that the principle that the member states later having started the process has a good opportunity to make up for those who have already begun sooner . 
in the areas where the considerable investment and long-term are needed to achieve standards in the eu , we should remember that current members too have , in such cases , evaluated on long periods . 
in matters of safety frontiers and combating crime sub-paragraph also our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . 
let us look trade that there are currently between the eu and the countries of central and eastern europe . 
i was glad that the commissioner finally starting to talk about informing the public to say that the fears which have been mentioned - had no reason to be . 
but one thing is clear - and i welcome mr verheugen to has once again underlined : there can transition period in terms of respect for democratic rules . 
in this respect , we need the help of the commission , because even if the will is there , arms are sometimes lacking . 
it is essential so that we can , as the european union , we set the objectives to carry out our own internal reformes . 
however , we cannot agree with certain aspects and essential questions . 
this tarnishes the european union , to its future independent million north america and also to a defence and security policy common european , given that this creates risks with russia and other countries . 
we hope that there will results nor should refer to another intergovernmental conference which must be made to ensure that enlargement may be held . 
i shall be brief , as i have already been said , since i have span of three minutes ' speaking time in my first speech . 
this is very important and , in other words , i am pleased that the commission is working on an information campaign that commissioner verheugen wants to both large and decentralised . 
but - and this will be my last word because i want to make myself understood : i am not a pessimistic in this regard , i do not playing ' small arms ' , i want a strong option of enlargement - to be credible , it must also be taken seriously , we must also be understood , it should also be able collate accession of the people , people of the candidate countries and of our peoples . 
for the moment , i see no need to discuss the financial perspective with enlargement . 
i can say with regard to none of them ! 
that , in fact for the same reason that they have also expressed the viewed with to join the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . 
i have seen entrust the work of the rapporteur said about estonia . 
as a member of the party moderate , i am extremely carefully when it comes to taxpayers ' money . 
only then , i believe , will you make an idea of what the latvians have done in recent years . 
that is not enough ; the whole strategy should be focusing more towards the citizens . 
lithuania has the potential laudable of sustainable economic growth . 
the broadest sense , this touches on the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . 
i now come to another weak point : the support of public opinion , both within and outside the european union . 
by following a fiscal policy intelligently , the foreign direct investment in 1990-1994 , last year , more 5,45 billion euros . 
we should not interfere , importantly , which is germans ! 
democracy slovak develops at least stable , and that was not always been the case . 
i suggest , in this speech , to say and resume the six aspects of the evolving situation hungarian , which deserve to be highlighted in the prospect of accession to the european union . 
i am pleased to note that this issue was envisaged in the general report on enlargement presented by mr brok . 
this is also and especially the case in the nuclear area , where the legitimate concerns about the nuclear safety and environmental risk of being exploited by the lobby anti-nucléaire . 
the formation of a group of the highest level is a measure i commend it to my colleagues . 
the report which i am honoured to you submit and which has also been adopted unanimously in committee , note that the part territory controlled by the legal authority fulfils the political criteria of copenhagen . 
to this end , play a key chequered , without prejudice course of its own part of the commission , in our representative for the cfsp , javier solana . 
however , the main problem with which malta to face is that the government and opposition differently deem the accession procedure and the european union is committed to the fluidity of this process . 
even between the usa and mexico , the levels are more loved-ones . that is why we pretty , in the field of internal market , for a thought-out strategy , adaptable to the extent of the challenge . 
but let me also say permit my respect for the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe which worldcom courage , ten years ago , down to the streets and who have helped to moving this process . 
the information society is important for industry , old or new . 
nor can we allow the portrayed by the percentages of community law transposed into national legislation . 
but the ten new countries of eastern europe have no such uncle of america . 
this also applies , and that degrading , for the transportation of towards the abattoirs . 
in all legislation subjects , we are considering now to impose an assessment of impact on health . 
my report for an opinion should also discuss the european union and emphasise that the european funds for regional development must not continue to be granted on the basis of a simple accounting division between the regions . 
elmar brok has started to rightly pointed out in his speech in doing so that we shall all beneficiaries of enlargement , in particular to which we are working on this side of the external border present . 
the development of internal freight transport is extremely important for environmental reasons , because we have to depart quantities of goods by road , and if we cannot transporting them on rail , we will use the waterways . 
it has also been said about the self-absorption or populism , and lowered the during the euro has certainly not helped to improve things . 
the message we want to convey candidate countries is as follows : ' please do not mislead the magnitude and reports in files that are before you . 
unfortunately , there are at this time too parties who have lost their ideology which show is an inadequate idealism and a materialism excessive . 
whether the delaying the right to acquisition of land and housing at usage family , différons-le . 
it exists to date , but is certainly threatened by the lack of transparency bureaucratic resistance manifesto , albeit not public , some governments . 
where are incidentally million jobs promised by the treaty of maastricht ? 
while we are in revise the treaties , some member states to require a fresh reform . 
the vast majority of international investigations on this subject are rule gains globally macroeconomic , linked to enlargement . 
however , excepting minority insipid , no political group will brings into question objective of the policy slovenian , which is to entering very quickly in the european union . 
if the eu has increasingly , as quickly , we should have the decay strongly as it is proposed in the stance taken by on enlargement of the eldr group . 
in my view , it is clear that the regime institutional prescribes a variety of long-term effects on health orphanage children . 
i therefore ask you to support the amendments are along these lines . 
and even , european politicians , we do not understand quite well the process of negotiation . 
cyprus will become a kind of bridge to the countries of the region . 
i wish to negotiators the continued success of their work in this important area . 
a second form of communication is also absolutely between our countries and countries to join the european union so that they could explain what is the european union . 
we cannot afford to lose even more impetus which existed in the early 1990s . 
mr president , firstly , as a socialist rapporteur for the report on romania , i should like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent work . 
this is for the institutions , the member states , we all , let us show equal to the challenge , too compared to fears of our own public opinion , and to recover the inspiration , ambition and the vision of the fathers of europe . 
unfortunately , i was the impression that , despite all the fine words and the many chapters with the council has considered to be applied , this process of enlargement is no or supported or driven by the energy policy necessary . 
many eu member states have broached are similar problems at some point or to their development and can advise bulgaria in order to help it to overcome those which it must now face . 
democracy is not just a question of majorities , it is also a matter of codecision appropriate minority . 
the candidate countries must be found on an equal footing with their accession should depend their own development . 
at the same time , we should acknowledge the efforts made by countries such as lithuania which catching , so to speak , the lost time . 
we have therefore interest to extend our system of rights and freedoms until romania and that is an argument to do assert within critical debate with the european public opinion . 
however , it is a question of which the rallying around is being done - i.e. of enlargement . 
my group therefore supports the limitation periods of transition in environmental terms to a maximum of five years . 
mr president , we need to give a boost positive to enlargement . 
the debate remains open certainly with regard to the order in which these countries will join , because it will also check the progress of their internal reforms . 
i welcome the very positive about the slovenia and the considerable efforts made by the country to satisfy the copenhagen criteria . as head of delegation , i was able to realise that on many occasions , like the commissioner . 
in my opinion , the proposal is worthy of being taken into consideration . 
these forms of violence and exploitation of women must now convicted and combated by every means , as well eu and in the candidate countries for accession . 
in conclusion , i should like to take this opportunity to join me in many wine-growers , which i share the thoughts and concerns , and stress the need to look carefully at the frontiers of europe and so forth , is the scope of enlargement , as well as the opportunity , for the european parliament , to produce a special report on this subject . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
we happens from time to time remember , rightly , in this house , that a europe of citizens must be a europe where the community legislation to protect their rights as it should . 
i put to the vote the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . 
we know that these substances and products are very rarely undesirable substances in the toxicity violent , but it is a question of substances which are gathering basis in the body for a period of long life , such as dioxins , the aflatoxines and the heavy metals such as lead , cadmium and mercury . 
it is not possible to regain the guilty . 
it would authorises this dilution , we should at least in notify the services of control and make record that these watering exist because this problem must be made public and to be the subject of a public debate . 
i should highlight the following : the bse crisis dioxin was the result of criminal acts against the existing regulations . 
mr president , i thank the members who have spoken before me . 
it was a necessity . 
these are fishmeal , the limit value is different from one which is proposed for products of animal origin no sea . 
it is time break fallacious interpretation of subsidiarity that wants more each day of increasing the tutelage of brussels on our nations . 
like the rapporteur , i believe that all these measures are justified , as it is justified for us to consider the case of these substances which it refers , which are not toxic in itself , but which increase the toxicity of mixtures . 
unfortunately , a large part of skills handed , good sense farmer , will be lost , in this era of industrial agriculture where animals are are more than production units and goods . 
the new regulations are going to rationalised , harmonise and simplifying regulations sanitation very detailed complex which were far scattered among many directives . 
the number of people who want to learn accurately what are the components is , in my research , fairly small . 
secondly , the farmers , who are the producers and ingredients feed , to undergo a change . huckleberry and for the future , it should be made to destroy a much more important part of their products community . 
the recompense for even if it is clear that the farmers themselves are also very keen well-being of their cattle . 
amendment no 18 propose an explicit include water in the definition of feedingstuffs . 
on the basis of these various evaluations , the commission will propose to member states suitable measures to limit the presence of substances involved in feed . 
in view of the amendments submitted to the adoption of this house , i am grateful to parliament for its support in relation to the proposal . 
to sum up , therefore , the commission can accept fully 15 of 27 proposed amendments . 
i assume principle that this time , they will certainly not angels . 
the commission has promised they travaillerait and it has also announced that this list would be ready tomorrow . 
farmers need simply know - and now , at least on demand in the form of percentages - all these contain for compound feedingstuffs and by how quantity . 
in conclusion , i should like to warmly thank the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , so that mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and hoped that the council will adopt the required a constructive attitude , so that we can achieve a transparent system concerning the declaration of feed . 
all this , of course , because of the bse tragedy which has been a real thriller , in several chapters . 
the toxic products , which affect the health of humans and animals , are not acceptable . 
but let us start with the positive points . 
the proposal now under discussion is the start of a number of initiatives which underpins the white paper on food safety . 
thank you very much , commissioner . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) i stand by queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the request for membership of the hungary and the eu and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] 
report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the request for membership of the romania and the eu and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 609 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] 
thirdly and lastly , and that is perhaps the prerequisite for the most difficult , and the council will have to agree on new institutional arrangements which allow the community to operate effectively , efficiently and democratically after enlargement . 
even if we approve the principles of article 13 , it is clear that the legislation subordinate european union as draws sometimes very goes further , it is only right to refuse to candidate countries a right to the cultural differentiation . 
i conclude by stressing the fact that the process of enlargement must be done step-by-step , at a rate of adapting candidate countries . 
. ( es ) in the current context and in view of the reservations which have begun to be heard on enlargement of the european union , it is important that parliament poses a political gesture clearly in favour of it . 
. the eu , since its creation , has vocation to bring together the peoples . 
the criteria of the council in copenhagen in 1993 , with a democratisation or capacity to support strengthen competition , by way of ' acquis communautaire ' reign of exploitive capitalism and destructive . 
a leak forward in enlargement , in these circumstances , threatens to speed up the aberrations populists and fascistic which bells here and there . 
the agenda for this sitting contains precisely a report having relate to equality between men and women who illustrates once again the situation indifferent to the acquis communautaire in this area . 
which could in fact denying entry , in the european home , and poland to copernic and john paul ii , hungary , the knights budapest in 1956 or the capital symbol , prague , when the democracies grass-roots défenestraient the head of state and écrasaient the people of jan palach himself , for freedom . 
the europe of greater scope , the duties and obligations to many more , we need our financial resources more important . 
i would like to take this opportunity to send my greetings to the elderly and pensioners to estonia , hoping that people are occupies of their means of existence within the european union . 
so i cannot see any reason for that latvia does not admitted within the european union , if it continues to make progress in the same rate once again that the eu will have the necessary proceeded with its institutional structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . 
so i cannot see any reason for that lithuania does not admitted within the european union , if it continues to make progress in the same rate once again that the eu will have the necessary proceeded with its institutional structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . 
progress is also evident , in the environmental field , with the implementation of the ' national fund for the protection of del ' environment ' and applying the principle of ' polluter pays ' . 
in doing enter the poland in the common house , the union will show the justice and with the new arrivante : a justice which he was far too long missed . 
i hope that the czech republic rejoining the union quickly . 
. ( a ) i welcome the queiró report on the request for membership of the hungary and the eu and i agree with most draws conclusions which the rapporteur . 
i hope that bulgaria rejoining the union in the not too distant future . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
this is an positioning fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take into serious consideration . 
i hope , in that context , the talks held under the auspices of the united nations will be able to succeed , so that the cypriot people greek and turkish benefiting , together , of the benefits of membership in the context of a republic reunited . 
- ( a ) i warmly welcome the poos report on the application of cyprus to join the european union . 
yet , consumers , we are working on ultimate stage of the food chain and are therefore the réceptacle of final and circumvention of the counterfeiting of food . 
we heart hearts to implement , at european level , and concrete way , the food safety since the stall to table , or from the hayfork until the fork . 
that is precisely because we are in favour of developing relations of cooperation between fraternelles , really and truly equal partners , between all the countries of the world , we have not intention , through our vote , to support a sham . 
the council has been informed parliament before the vote in committee , but only just before thereof , deviating so deliberately any chance of re-examine the matter with me or with parliament . 
in my report , i request broader representation and participation of ngos , is greater responsibility with regard to the european parliament , the establishment of an annual report which will be discussed in parliament , a degree of transparency the highest possible , promoting the memory of the past as instrument for fighting prejudices and recognition of the discrimination multifaceted . 
at the same time , the justified interests of workers to be taken into consideration . 
given that a high responsibility lies with the social partners with regard to the rules of discrimination at work , these are the most it to develop practical solutions . 
replying to my invitation jenny , was came attend as coordinator of the group lien charter . 
practice , because the directives and programmes of action incitent , on the one hand , the member states to fight against discrimination on the basis of the same principles and the other hand , the commission to play its guardian of the treaty but also our guide social debate . 
although the legal basis liberates appropriations for new preparatory actions , their funding within this category could lead to a reduction of funds of other policies . 
ladies and gentlemen , we have under eyes a proposal for a framework directive , necessary but insufficient , which we will have to improve the mechanisms once a certain period of time scope will be passed . 
i hope that the commission , in the light of this new directive , this intéressera closely to the discrimination based on sex . 
i congratulate the commission , as well as the authors of reports . 
i am happy with the opinion of the mann report to enable organisations in rationale of ask , if any , workforce in requests for hiring in relation to this unfounded . 
the speed with which the institutions have made use of new powers in amsterdam proves , commissioner , the european union is still retains its status ground-breaking have equal opportunities , and that is why i should like to thank the wholeheartedly the european commission . 
the fact that there is in our society various kinds of discrimination confirms the importance of the programme of action in presence , in terms of the report by mr cashman . 
mr president , on behalf of the bonino list i should like to express cry that we feel before the way in which europe and the member states treat the subject of discrimination , racism and xenophobia . 
can the commissioner explain why the commission that takes account of this aspect ? 
the second issue i would like to address is that the ngos , for it to be important , are invited to has to deal with implementation , regardless of size , their nature and action they lead . 
the liberal and democratic has assessed all this positively and particularly the activities of parliament who wanted to stress , also and above all , on the prevention of phenomenon and not just in good practice . 
this is a challenge for us all , because our judging the other on a first impression . 
mr president , combat and legislate against discrimination and acknowledge that they exist at all that they are , for many of them , ' legalised ' because trivialised . 
the first unctad , the conference of the united nations for trade and development , has put in 1963 in geneva the principle of inequalities across-the , therefore discrimination . 
in fact , information and awareness dynamite respect fundamental , they must be a factor jeopardising and serve to inculcate a new mentality , a new way of thinking and that , so that these prejudice still satellite-assisted only pervasive in the population can be completely eradicated and that a real parity be guaranteed in terms of the between all the citizens . 
it is therefore important to make progress both legislative initiatives debated today volunteer to some of their aspects and by increasing the amounts set aside for the financing of the programme , to reflect the political importance of this fight against discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the principle of forecasting of third-county sensible , including sweden and ireland are the pioneers , will now ensure that employers in the whole of europe , adapt their places of work , bread-winning of equipment and modify their methods of working in order to offer a real chance to workers disabled . 
article 13 is the point of departure for a new objective of the eu : combating discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens through grounds listed in the same article . 
the second point i want to refer to the mistake crept unfortunately by the commission with this first ' package ' in the sense that it wanted to establish a list of priorities for the european grounds for discrimination . 
mr president , discrimination on the basis religion is unacceptable , like any other kind of discrimination . 
as a secular convinced , i cannot therefore did associate . 
however , the noble-minded idea recognise every citizen to the maximum freedom as possible provided that it compatible with the same extent freedom for others , meet even today hurdles - some are also other law . 
one of these directives has already been adopted in a record time , and i think that may be a good chance of being adopted during the french presidency in november . 
some do not comply legal requirements , as the amendment concerning the agreements of committees . 
however , i cannot accept amendment no 38 , which is proposing to delete article 5 of the list differences treatment on the basis of age , which could be justified . 
you have mentioned the important issue of conformity contractual . 
this is the first time we are allowing joint projects in this action plan . 
it is clear that the more code will overall , it will be more effective . 
article 7 of code commits the member states to prevent any transfer of arms exported to end-user landfills . 
mr president , i must confess that i have the nostalgia time where congress , the european parliament , but also from various non-violent movements and trade unions , incentive to think and act in the sense of a gradual reduction of the production of arms , where people are wondered how it might be through the use of military and civil use . 
given the situation in which are now the world and our continent , after the end of the cold war and breaking the equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , to this behaviour would be irresponsible . 
these weapons have become , as it were , the symbol of the anarchy in many places in the world . 
cfsp covers an activity which is intended to deal with situations of crisis outside the borders of the eu , and no anything to be described as a common defence . 
their aim is to prevent the export of arms to destination of governments who violate human rights , areas is beset by conflicts or areas engaged in shopping any to weapons . 
the commission , in close collaboration with the member states , has actively participated in drawing up of joint action of european union on small arms and light weapons . 
the next item is the commission communication on the european research area . 
introduction of forms of intervention for the longer term ; intermediary between the support of projects and funding institutionally , secondly of variable geometry offered by the treaty , with particular reference to the participation of the union to national programmes as planned in article 169 of the treaty . 
what we want to strengthen , this is the nature of hierarchies and it depends on the level of the way in which intervention . 
you say envisage a total modification of the framework programme . 
i think we need now is something which structure of the european research area , that is to say something which goes beyond the framework programme which has been accepted in shed more national programmes ; there is a factor structure , which means that we must accept formulae for . 
concerning the deliberations of stoa , i believe we must do something together , since the house , the common research centre , the colleges therefor present in the various member states are involved . 
it appears that the commission progressing little of giant towards the achievement of the european area of research . 
there will have a chapter on sciences , including the citizens . 
the contacts have taken place with the authorities in greece , ireland and portugal are asking for the government of these countries speeding up the presentation of the commission of their projects under the cohesion fund . 
probably absence service that you mention , which existed in the previous commission and which was devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund , makes it that we have more specific elements . 
my second question is this : apart from the cohesion fund , there are the framework csf to , the structural funds , the regional programmes , and so on which countries have you received the projects final and what programmes which countries you already accepted ? 
in 1989 , the commission has introduced a new proposal before offer a more flexible . 
i have the argument of mr bolkestein and i know that the rule of principle treaties forbidden to tax foreigners more firms are pets , but the general act of fair competition in europe should apply and , when the levels of taxation are totally disproportionate , we should consider the effect that legislation in the field of competition may have on the situation , and this in spite of the general rule according to which this is a prerogative of member states . 
if you want retaining the fuel , we must do so through the tax on fuel , and not through other forms of taxation . 
in reply to mr purvis that the issue of regional natural disadvantages is probably matter for national governments and the internal market is part of their electorates finds itself in these regions and sidelined . 
mr president , commissioner , thank you for your information . 
during the spring of last summer , the commission has carried out a review of the general its activities and human resources . 
we have had some information in this respect . 
these children , in an increasing proportion , are exploited by tourists and politicians , business , which for a significant number of them come across europe . 
the commission believe that all business will be able to prepare themselves in time for the changeover end to the euro , including with regard to the adjustment of their computer systems and their software . 
this discussion philosophico-politique more agenda but we can debate in general dangers of a referendum , although perhaps in another context . 
this applies also to momentum . 
a reminder has recently been sent to the french authorities . 
with regard to the candidate countries , i can tell you that the meetings have taken place with them on the subject of animals and that introductory agreements have been concluded . 
the commission has had been informed during the sowing season for the spring of this year of the interception of imported seed in conventional varieties of different species , are understood to cotton , containing traces of gm seeds . 
however , after consultation of its services , i am able to inform you that the fundamental requirements of security in the field of computer equipment for private use or professional are laid down by a directive on electrical equipment , the directive ' low voltage ' , as well as by the directive concerning the hertziens equipment and the terminal equipment to telecommunications . 
this accordera-t-il nevertheless with me to say that the distinction made between safety at work and safety at class or security for a child working packing does in fact not one ? 
perhaps serrera-t-il the hand of president khatami . 
aung san suu kyi has now facto under house arrest . 
i am therefore reluctant to go further on the subject of trade or to advise other actions concerning trade or investment . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
anyone who knows me ancients example that were referred to some of the meetings electioneering which they had attended . 
questions nos 16 to 44 will be answered in writing . 
what we would like , it is a european consolidated report , published and examined by this parliament . 
we should concentrate on the transition to the degeneration of armaments , and not on how we will ensure our competitiveness compared with other countries in the world who produce of arms . 
the five permanent members of the security council , who are supposed to ensure on our security , should be to listen to these proposals and negotiate on possible an arrangement really worthy of the twenty-first century . 
the debate today raises an important milestone in the process of reform that the prodi commission has started in just over a year . 
i cannot prevent it to have the impression that in its haste to produce a proposal within the deadline set by the white paper on reform , the commission has neglected to address properly the details . 
i therefore propose that the financial controller and the internal auditor occurring are both to annual reports rendering account of their activities . 
the van hulten report accentuates more , and quite rightly , differentiate litigated by the commission 's proposal represents a good point of departure for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . 
let us not repeat this does not happen ! 
if we defining a rule for the large institutions , then the principle of independence emphasised by the committee of wise men should prevail everywhere . 
we have very often lived in the past situations in which the decision-making processes excessively long have caused representations to the proposers disappointment and the loss of confidence in european institutions . 
i would say to the commissioner has said that this report is only an intermediate step . this means that these are the first phase of building a bridge between the system of control which now and the system that we want to have after the reform . 
that is what consists in the proposal which you have before us . 
it was only when there will be able to assume that the sampling , the procedure of sampling , which will be too frequently controlled , will be withdrawn . 
beyond words , we are all aware that the task will certainly not easy . 
i am also clearly that we are not qualified , nor as politicians nor to technicians , able to get to work alone in resolving this problem . 
fortunately , the vast majority of children and young people upbringing in an environment of beauty such factors damaging . 
i agree very much the views expressed by the president of the commission , when he stresses the need to establish a such catalogue statutory ; it is vital to , in my opinion , strengthen the principle of subsidiarity and it is therefore that the eu is abstienne wishing to establish policies in a large number of areas in which desquels policy issues are not transnational . 
any information from the world and cutback at all areas knowledge is becoming accessible since the domicile in time for the shortest possible . for them , communicate with the full hemispheres is one thing ordinary . 
arrested very quickly , they claim to policemen : ' it is fun , in the peak-time , it does not happen take readily available ' . 
the legislator - i shall end here , mr president - we cannot regulate everything , but it must sometimes out of rights and duties of everyone . 
i am also very sensitive to the comments which have been made on education , on training to read the images , on awareness younger generations to have a critical approach to the media and not to spend whatever it , but any when , at any how . 
if a report as thereof cannot get its for progress , to improve the mobility or at least begin to be razed barriers which currently hampering the mobility of the world of education , nothing will have had a greater impact negatively on their opinion . 
the problems to the various countries are to diverse nature : for example , different regulations on social security , grants study , right of residence , taxation and lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and traineeships . 
it is time that europe has attaches again at the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe . 
the experience of mobility of students and teachers to prove that the real problems of this mobility cannot find themselves not so much on the part of the management of the education but in the field of social authorities , fiscal and migration . 
been quoted the socrates programme to illustrate this problem . 
there must be a system of inspection clear , control clear , even if this is done by sampling , and above all , a counter , a web page , where students can submit complaints . 
we therefore demand incorporating the target group researchers among the categories of people remedies which benefit from recommendations . 
it is easy to do so in a speech , but not so in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate your approach , like the one president chirac or minister joschka fischer . 
enlargement requires strengthening ; the strengthening allows and do not endangers enlargement . 
( applause ) europe has a cultural heritage , social , legal and scientific unique fostered by the variety and the vitality of the national components . 
the draft resolution on the reports by the commission , on which you will give you just now , is rich in this area . 
this clearly apparent in the report established by the finnish presidency and on women in decision-making . the indicators that she has drafted enable us to assess the progress made . 
beyond the conference of ministers of symposium on equal vocational texts , two very important , devoted specifically to equality , but emphasising the council at the employment and social affairs ' deserve to be mentioned . 
the second is concerning the principle of non-discrimination , including the one which is based on gender . 
in the context of the annual reports , i would add - and the president-in-office also mentioned this - that one of the main problems faced by the eu obviously concerns the existence of large cultural differences . 
the reports context , we are also give this impression . 
we must ensure that the directive on equality can look-out really in legislation . 
i believe that this method , applied in the first place by the finland usable in many areas and , since it is part of the strategy equality of the commission , we can expect good results . 
on behalf of equal opportunities , the french women have won , thanks to europe , the right to work at night . 
as a french citizen , this world view this is particularly alien . 
these observations , we will be voting for this report because , of course , we are in favour of equal opportunities , but equal opportunities , first and foremost respect for everyone . 
those who deprive mothers to freedom of raise their children without being paid writing the bill later , in the form of juvenile and of vandalism . 
and i would remind our report on the splitting of pension rights in the event of divorce , so that the service survivors and the age of pensions to be integrated into the directive 1979 . 
women polish we were very eternally of stipulated that representative who was present did not even relayé the position of women polish . 
a greater presence of women at all levels of government and in all areas is important to strengthen democracy and to promote and maintain peace . 
in conclusion , i should like to mention the situation of women in the country which they prepare accession to the european union . 
also the members of the council , and especially the men who are ipse , mistrustful here to fulfil the essential task which consists of lead europe in the battle against mafia which organise trafficking in women . because this form of slavery is not the kind of problems which can patting millstone for the protagonists of political responsibility , or that they can dominated or overlooked . 
we can deduce and reports in the speeches which examining today than the issue of equal opportunities is , as many of us here in the knew , a problem of a structural and that address , we need global strategies , because women are neither a category nor a social group homogeneous , let collective . 
that is true that i was a little sorry to see that maria belém roseira that revolved more this post . 
a couple of members mentioned new social rights , new rights tax . 
thirdly , they constitute the basis of a strategy with regard to the european union - even for the charter of fundamental rights , and because we have prepared a view to the current situation played an important - but they also offer to national level , since the member states can now , thanks comparative assessments , define their national targets . 
the joint debate is closed . 
we must see these amendments in the new interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament can make concessions in this insisting not on these amendments comitology since that in some way , they have been overtaken by the new interinstitutional framework . 
nevertheless , i still personally thought that the text adopted at that time parliament europol-us much better new realities which have flowed internal market and the liberalization of markets , and the internal market elements clarification and control that introduisaient amendments not accepted ensured greater respect for the regulation and the implementation of the same procedures . 
if we want to third countries can accept the compromise , the european community must be the first to apply to ensure observance of its own standards , because if a country has the opportunity to introduce products on the community market for smuggling , why prendrait-il worthwhile to negotiate to any kind of concession with us ? 
the same way , the parliament 's amendment concerning the declaration papers , which was adopted by the council , to enable customs administrations of member states ' equip instruments automated management of the most modern . 
but it is too late now just because the vote will take place and the members have voted in favour . 
votes ( continuation ) 
report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , on the annual reports on the commission 's ' equal opportunities for men and women in the eu - 1997 , 1998 , 1999 ' ( com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) 
. this is not the first time that i am speaking on the mobility of students and the body schoolteacher . 
this report as it is important that it occurs at a critical for the european union , and enlargement . 
the discrimination does not battle with the creation of additional administrative services , but only in the minds of people . 
. i have not voted the mann report , because if it is essential seek equal treatment of persons to employment and labour , should we still do not push the zeal to the point abandon any protection freedoms we respect the rule of law . 
being a secular convinced , i was unable to me that join them . 
the snp welcomes this directive and its objective to end discrimination at work . 
if we wish to make the directive acceptable and exécutable , it cannot be overburdened literature and desires of which there is no place in a legislative text . 
the eplp noises are , however strong reservations on the following areas . 
some things too should , in our opinion , be left to the discretion of member states , such as the general terms scope , the organisation of training for employees of certain groups of age , the nature of the system of mediation , and the way in which smes should interpret the directive . 
in this interview , van hulten remarked quite rightly that only the resolution of problems such as the fraud , wastefulness , but also a lack of efficiency in the decision-making process , we will start with a positive agenda . 
the reasons for the thrust of my vote , which relates to a large extent , the issue of the rapprochement between the eu and nato needs impetus given to the policy of common defence . 
they were also refers to the export of european arms as a means of resolving the future local conflicts in the geographical areas bordering on europe . 
however , i cannot accept that formula the need for a policy of common defence and a common european security and defence . 
children are the victims of violence television . 
i welcome the realization of this study . 
a group of experts will also formed at community level . it will task for the creation of a memorandum establishing the general principles for the protection of minors in the media . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it is particularly interesting that , for the first time , to be addressed to the need for further assessing the effectiveness of the political initiatives by means of annual reports of the commission . 
peru 
mr president , peru are currently experiencing moments of uncertainty babies and we all hope that the current situation to be resolved through a process , guaranteeing all civil and political rights and contributing to the strengthening of democracy and peace in peru , where 25 000 people died in the last fifteen years . 
the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which the elections took the elections in peru in may this year were unacceptable . 
b5-0793 / 2000 , mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . 
i am therefore pleased to note that the report contains some clear and specific on the situation of women and that it draws attention to the need to try to intervene in order to prevent the taliban regime is continuing its full implementation of discrimination against women . 
the eu has an important task . 
there cannot be recognition on the part of any member state , as will remain the policy of violation of human rights , especially of systematic discrimination against women , the . 
we must take account of this reality , within the european institutions , and with the cultures of drugs are used to purchase arms . 
it will support and more determined way neighbouring countries , by means of improving their opportunities to combat drugs . 
i believe that the time has come to the need to remember that the european union beginning to shape a comprehensive policy towards the countries of latin america which could prevent these countries to cross periodically in crisis situations such as those that some have experienced . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and the house greatly welcome the release of father jesuit spanish alejandro matos castro last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the party of european liberal , democrat and reform party , on the macedonia : legislation relating to education and to university ; 
that is why we are very pleased that the problem of higher education has perhaps finally found a really positive . 
for my part , i think above all a good example , for all the neighbouring countries , demonstrating education does not only propagate hate - as much generally - but it could also be the cradle of a multi-ethnic peaceful co-existence . 
i would have liked to see this solution may be approved by all parties represented in parliament . 
may i take the opportunity to emphasise that the commission has already been congratulated on its cooperation with the high representative , mr van der stoel . 
we do not conducting this debate today only to express our deep sorrow . we conducting mainly to investigate what has happened , what are the causes and how we are to remedy the situation , how can we , as the commission and parliament , to ensure that such events does not occur . 
in any case , mr president , we are in agreement with this joint motion for a resolution which we support such a libellée , under the urgency , and on the basis , it goes without saying , of what i mentioned earlier . we are at odds with the amendments that have been well up under the urgency . 
for the amendment on conditions of work , there is a directive attendant , the wording of amendment is not too unsatisfactory that the text . 
that is just not acceptable for the islands and of the north west of scotland , as for the itinerary potential of discontinuing the north sea towards the european continent which will , i hope , inaugurated in the near future . 
i am pleased that the greek government has meanwhile cancelled this exemption . 
therefore , following the sinking of the ship samina express , the commission immediately urged the greek government to provide clarification on the application of community law in force . 
i would like to raise the question of whether , and i urge you to clarify this with the bureau , after the removal of friday , the abolition of thursday has already started on a certain side . 
this problem has not been solved and as long as it will not , the international financial institutions - the imf and world bank - will not be able to help the democratic serbia . consequently , it must also work through the un with the countries of former yugoslavia to find the earliest possible agreement which can unblock , when the time of the freedom of comes in serbia , the economic aid - through the imf and the world bank . 
in these moments goes maybe they play in the streets of belgrade the arrival change democratic where the resort to violence can be avoided . 
we all condemn the acts can be seen as a provocation , in particular with regard to the holy places in jerusalem . 
in relation to the middle east , and we europeans , have made a great effort - venice , madrid , oslo , stockholm - and we really have supported the promoting and developing this process . 
the fact most shocking that the use of bullets of over-fragmentation by the police and the israeli army ; these bullets , which explode in the body in tens of pieces and which are prohibited internationally , even in the fighting opponent of soldiers , are now being employed against civilians . 
i believe that europe can and must do far in this respect , with clarity and decision . 
it is therefore do everything to stop burnt to ongoing as soon as possible . 
the provocations such as this action ariel sharon must not happen . 
this again , is the case today , and this is what prevents and has prevented europe , over all these years , to play a role mediate in the middle east , abandoning this role in the united states alone . 
we do not sacrifierons the serbian people to our noble objectives abet because this may mean the thousands of deaths in serbia and yugoslavia . 
in conclusion , madam president , i propose to send a parliamentary delegation as soon as possible and as soon as a new yugoslav government formed , to establish the plans rebuild a new serbia in cooperation with this new government . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , we live obviously a historic day in parliament , which may mark the end of one of the last pillars a dictatorship totalitarianism in europe . 
mr president , but there is a problem , the german version collation concerning the urgent - i do not know if it is also the case for other versions - contains only to amendments confederal group of , but no motion for a resolution , or even the joint text . 
mr president , i should just like to draw the attention of my colleagues on the pile which shows what can documents we had the need for the votes later this week . 
if parliament could propose amendments to the council 's position , it soulignerait probably unemployment and social problems in croatia which are due to the system of austerity imposed to that country . yet there is no legal basis for these amendments in this context . 
that is the opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . 
mr president , we discussed yesterday evening , even within this house , the issue of serbia and revolutionary changes which occur there . 
i would also like convince my colleagues , and especially the council , to remain , in my view months on the budget for next year and in subsequent years , the true to the commission proposal , which , in my opinion , was taken to date the best estimate the overall cost in croatia and in other parts of the balkans . 
in 1990 , the democratic elections held in this country were fair and free judged by the international opinion . 
so i say yes to the financial aid , yes to this guarantee and i call emphatically on the commission to help this country massively profoundly european and now really democratically governed according to the principles of the rule of law , to join in the candidates for accession , because i believe that croatia has earned our unconditional support . 
as rapporteur , i wonder whether the money intended to this end will actually be available , as it is that as it seems that huge funds must be provided soon to serbia and that the budget of the union has not contender increase which . 
the delegations of the croatian parliament and on ours they have also invited the council to extend the mandate of the eib . 
hopefully contacts are noueront quickly and that , as croatia , aid will be given to the serbian people , which deserves our greatest respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
in this same spirit , we call on the women of the european parliament to participate in delegation : there will be an appeal tuesday and wednesday and the prize to signatures and participation in the delegation , in intention vase of building , between women 's bridges peace where prevailing violence . 
overall , there were more suffering for the basque people and for spaniards ; it is true that the spanish and basques are weary of the current conflict . 
madam president , you will remember doubt that , during the last part-session , i have mentioned the plight of campaigner democrat , the british james mawdsley , which was held illegally by the burmese authorities . 
madam president , as i am concerned , i want to speak of the rules of procedure . 
in fact , this report is ostensibly technical , which does not make a change of political order , is extremely important and the internal market , surreptitiously , it introduces the possibility of practise the genetic engineering in viticulture and therefore we achieve a winegrowing genetically modified plants . 
if we do not agree with the report , there will be delays . 
the council of state - as you said - has rejected this appeal having duly informed of what rejection . 
but today the situation repeating itself and with a colleague , certainly the epp no of my political camp in italy . 
that is why we advocate actively for introducing a scoreboard is social , as has been the case for the internal market , with clear measures , and adhering to the deadlines . 
i hope , madam minister , that the council will be inspired by parliament 's expectations and that you warmest , at the summit in nice , to set ambitious objectives in a european social agenda which will then get to work in the coming years . 
following the informal council meeting at the employment and social policy ' on 8 july in paris , the presidency had asked to all the actors involved - european parliament , of course , economic and social committee , in the committee of the regions , the social partners , ngos , groups and committees of the council - to have proportion of their proposals . 
oppose the quantitative on qualitative is a false debate lisbon is clearly established a dual purpose : more employment and job creation of quality . 
we must encourage mobility , all ensuring the safety of drifting professional . 
we must try summing and describe the shortcomings of the system , in any case , this must be put to the agenda . 
we consider that the open coordination constitutes the right way to go towards a social europe . 
the implementation of ambitions societal exhibiting at lisbon termed an effort , community action plan for the creation of jobs in services , particularly those related to the information society is . 
the commission can of course provide a valuable contribution , but the social problems are enshrined in the local level , and it treat them greatly taking account of different contexts practical . 
the social reviser as was the most harmful effects of economic policies . 
the proposal were by the commission would have been much better without amendment - congratulations , commissioner . 
this is an ambitious agenda . i still remember how we have made headway on social protection during the previous . 
i think that this will be very positive and help women to reconcile professional and family life . 
i sometimes have the impression that , under the concept of modernisation , people often think to strip the welfare of its substance . 
what are the fundamental aspects of content ? 
it is still difficult to define objectives europeans who will be equally applies in all member states , since there is a reality diverse . 
49 amendments were tabled to the commission . 
it is therefore important that we deliver guarantees regarding the possibility that will non-governmental organizations and to influence the the process . 
another point is that the community must intervene more in the estimate of needs for further initiatives , including , where necessary , adaptation of the regulation , equality and the fight against discrimination . 
this is not as good ideas and good plans to achieve equality these could have a failed in the past , but their implementation has often failed . 
it is not right that the voice of women to be tapped by a handful of professional demands of the living thanks to the saline drip of public money . 
equality of men and women in civil life , which allows for women to enjoy full human rights and freedoms . 
i expect that the players male was finally interest them that they are fighting for stereotypes and roles gender exceeded . 
however , i believe that we have to thank him for having followed this debate , given that attending that was not foreseen during this discussion . 
of competition policy 
we must offer our companies the best possible conditions so that they can organise their production and above all their future . 
they must have a wider choice of high quality products sold at competitive prices : this is , ultimately , the reason why we need to promote the single market and at the same time , the free competition , because it benefits to all our citizens . 
these are the decision to grant whether or not to grant aid in the field of coal . 
paragraph 16 of the riis-jørgensen report mentions the desire to improve the legal security at queries from mergers , and more efficient and more rapid timetables , and the procedures applicable to appealed . 
in all cases , these public undertakings must their force no one impeccable management business , but the views of monopoly past and present . 
we also need to involve citizens more in information on the policy of competition , so that we in recognizes the benefits . 
they are of considerable significance for employment and regional policy and i hope that the understands it well in future , so that such aid , aid for internal policies , which have implications for regional development and the economies of the regions where transport is taking value of example , kind can be pursued . 
this communication contains three important messages . 
i also warmly thank mr evans for his excellent report on the legislation in the field of state aids to the steel industry and on the eighth report from the commission on state aids in the eu . 
i would therefore like to reassure mrs palacio and mr karas , together with other members who have spoken on these points , and them that the regulation largely takes account of their concerns . 
otherwise , we serving our goal , namely to promote competition and consumers , as some perverse . 
the joint debate is closed . 
mechanism financing is the application of article 119 of the treaty , which is still in force during the third stage of economic and monetary union only for the member states which do not participate in the single currency . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i am pleased that we can discuss further on the proposal for a council directive amending the directive 193 / 68 / eec on the marketing of material vegetative propagation of the vine , and i hope that the vote tomorrow will be positive . 
some of them were launched , the 5 july , the call of beaune , where they express any their concern with regard to the introduction of gmos in their job . 
the rules that they provide are also in favour of the production of vegetative material diverse by providing the best guarantee sanitation , which is fundamental , effectively to accompany the restructuring of vineyards community , crunch of the new com vini-viticole . 
we must say loud and strong , it was necessary to gaver rehearse the articles of this directive references to the directive 90 / 220 in revised , except to promote wishing to any strength in the vines are genetic manipulation . 
it is my pleasure to inform you that we can accept the need for amendments nos 35 to 40 , presented by mr graefe zu baringdorf , who tend to reinforce the transposition demands for security and management of enshrined in the directive 90 / 220 . 
i should just like to observe that parliament has not been called to give an opinion as such . 
madam president , it is on paragraph 14 of our minutes on the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of our college pacheco pereira . 
i would be more specific on the qualified majority . 
on the weighting of votes , the two options well-known also remain on the table : weighting simple for which a slight , very slight majority , is confirmed , or is double majority , but with various formulas , dual simple majority or repondérée or a form of net ' demographics ' . 
moreover , without prejudice to an assessment of the needs and the coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic , which will entrusted jointly with the commission , and in the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant the federal republic an initial emergency humanitarian aid of eur 200 million . 
but you see , ladies and gentlemen , if i wanted to tell you spontaneously and very sincerely feel , i would say this : whatever the sensitivity of these issues - composition of the system of vote - and this is not on this basis will we be able to evaluate the success or failure of nice . 
one was also approval by the heads of state and government of the charter of fundamental rights , but i must however remember , mr president-in-office , the reason for this approval has made possible . 
as we must not do die of boredom spirit of nice , our fundamental priority during the 50 days which remain will bring the negotiations in policy . 
in this respect , i would also like to address my colleges of the european people 's party - and i call mr poettering to listen to me - because what we hold in this house , we must defend it outside . 
that , so far as we know achieved by the prime ministers and chairmen in biarritz on questions highly sensitive to reform the treaty , the charter will probably the most beautiful success of nice . 
the council encounter really expectations european citizens by launching a great consultation of the people , national parliaments , allowing we achieve a charter replying to really needs . 
it is therefore initiate an invitation to everyone to go back to the roots of our union , have the courage that have taken mr giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt in deciding to it , the election by universal suffrage in the european parliament 1976 and in 1979 and decide what 2009 we will have finally a president of the european union , the president of the commission . 
i would like in particular , in this respect , respond to what mr poettering said on the rift between large and small countries . 
i returned from a word simply on matters of external trade policy , because this is an issue quite seriously . 
it is even something valuable was highlighted by all the members of the european council . 
another very positive point was the adoption of the charter in its entirety . 
further , i think that on this crucial question for the future of the european union and its method of decision , biarritz has marked the points and we can only congratulate . 
i hope that we can still convince , progress , for the prevail over this point in nice . 
i quote two examples : on the one hand , the happening and respect for the work on the right to work and , secondly , a number of social rights including in the social charter revised the council of europe do not find themselves in the charter . 
it emerges clearly debates which have taken place throughout europe , including those of biarritz , that the member states 's largest seek , in part , to put pressure on the smaller member states in order to reform the eu in accordance with the political line followed by the member states have the great and also according to their desires . 
the dissatisfied on both sides are proof of the negotiators for them to acheminent towards a fair balance . 
the leaders of europe have not made a clear vision . 
a commission structured on criteria of representation of each state betrays a design for visionary . 
then we would have a union centralised , which suggesting the small countries less influence that the system of the two-chamber american it leaves the member states federal to small . 
after the summit at sharm-el-sheikh , where all the parties concerned were put together to find spite one outcome to the crisis of violence and re-establish dialogue between barak and arafat , we have seen , though there was for this moment where it seemed to be able to succeed , it is extremely difficult to contain the violence . 
mistreatment of whistle-blowers , obviously , are say to mr barón things which are not real about italy and my party . 
we need to accomplissions progress in matters of taxation of energy in europe . the latter has undergone a total deadlock up to now because of the principle of unanimity . 
we cannot allow that unfolds a situation in which the small member states segment to fear a drift towards solutions to directorate-general . 
i believe that the convention has provided an excellent report and i am proud to have been able to count amongst its members . 
in the latter case , of , the matter is to know at what running this principle of the rotation strictly egalitarian between large and small . 
the extension to genuine subjects of voting by qualified majority voting with the codecision procedure , the preservation of rule 250 in its present today , the place and the commission 's role in the closer cooperation and not just on the first pillar : these few elements which will enable us to judge instantly if there is , at the end , success or failure . 
mr president , i should like to thank mr jacques , firstly , the jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and fernand herman , thank everyone vaclav havel in carlo ciampi , of joschka fischer in jacques chirac , of michel barnier peter moscovici , of chris patten to costa simitis , passing through florence , and by the multitude of current meps who have included , from 1999 , the great movement for a european constitution . 
do not criticise what europe market-driven , and that is a socialist which you says : it has given us more wealth for all . 
prefer to at least this objective , and since we are doing so , how can we say . 
mr president , i had the pleasure to note that in substance , the proposals presented recently at the intergovernmental conference will end , as well or some of the criteria that i exposed . 
mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you wanted to see that we have , this morning , a debate on the questions about desquelles your house has felt needed to supplement the opinion relative to the intergovernmental conference that she had made last april . 
thus , respecting the constitutional framework exists , therefore problematic - and i would like to make - to provide more such consultative opinion of parliament in the wake . 
as you know , this requires us to do some political choices , have far-reaching far greater than the regulation of three requirements critique highest . 
i myself have stressed that the formula retained for the charter was a route explore . 
but i have understood correctly beyond it up linguistic , your question hid a further concern . 
it is also why i wanted to thank you , and the content and on the form , the initiative that you have taken . 
the establishment of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies which segment added to the institutions of the union . 
it is time to revising the treaties . 
refusal of the european council of incorporating the charter of fundamental rights of the union in the founding treaties , to make on these rights legally binding and allow the way to people whose rights would not have been respected accede to the european court of justice , stunts at fundamental consensus . 
without that , this does not dashes this europe of citizens ' , in my opinion . 
paragraph 8 : the constitution dealings and i quote : ' issues left open ' . 
nobody has not been able to explain to me it would have changed since then . 
secondly , in an agenda insufficient , which has left aside for questions to be particularly important for the future of the union and the interests of the citizenship . 
minister stories that on the eve revolution bolchevique - an event which should have disastrous consequences of the world - the orthodox church russian was plunged into a complex debate on the style of clothes of ceremony to wear during carême . 
it is therefore imperative that closer offer every guarantee that the rapporteur has recommended , it to be open to all of us in respect of the spirit of the treaties , and that they do not whips not run counter to the acquis communautaire . 
but there is a point that i would like accentuate : it does not seem right to require or of prefer the way of referendum obligatory in all member states for the approval of the amendments proposed . 
we have had a very lively debate on two issues which , although different , meet in point . 
we are prepared to make sure that it can be implemented to the vote during the november part-session , so that the text be adopted under the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
what does " the introduction of the opportunity to participate retired via the progressively to part-time ' , if it is not a threat to the retirement age of the new high already in many countries ? 
everybody knows that pensioners , as the children , beloved the jam . 
i have asked to pensioners who have been particularly mandated here in the european parliament , with the pensioners ' party i would like to ask them to plairait to drink genetically modified . 
i believe , that , by derogation , to put on the market of propagation material standard , when needs cannot be covered by other categories . 
i therefore ask you , mr president : the variations in labour costs are not constituent-elles , for this reason , too , are a restriction on freedom of competition in the eu ? 
it was therefore inevitable that we vote against this report .. .. 
despite the measures taken for a strong deregulation within the european union state aids have always a constructive role to play in the social and economic development . 
these aid can prove to be essential for environmental protection , the maintenance of public services and the guarantee a level of income equal to the inhabitants economically disadvantaged regions . 
we emphasise that the risk , after entrenching the control of the eu on state aids , important to see it targeting the aid is a small amount citing competition will be made to smes . 
section vi , economic and social committee 
it would consults the timescales of budget execution for categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , i note that only an average of 8 % of all commitments are covered by payments . 
three years ago , we we are striving via our initiative for employment in helping small and medium-sized enterprises to get to risk capital . 
parliament wants to do this in two ways . 
it would then only the european institutions will respond to their task . 
i take this opportunity to expressly thank the vice-president responsible for budgetary matters , our colleague gerhard schmid , for its constructive cooperation . 
we want this committee may then work but we cannot allow it to be the place where the requirements of the european parliament , as arm of the budgetary authority , encounter least echoing . 
this means that the year 2001 is the last budget year fully-fledged and in that context that we must assess the commission proposal and one that we are proposing to parliament . 
we want furthermore it examines the administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 - in 85 - , the committee on budgets of parliament endeavouring to obtain the proceedings of the european parliament taking account of the financial impact of the resolution that parliament vote . 
i will conclude , mr president , by thanking the other institutions to their diligence in the treatment of this joint statement . 
you have called on you to decide on a budget which has already been amended at first reading by the council . 
with regard to structural actions : the amount of structural actions was broadly reappoints to the budget for 2000 . 
the council 's attitude towards the revision of the financial perspective is calm . 
when we are examining these different figures , we see that still remain considerable discrepancies in terms of the purely quantitative but also , of course , particularly substance . 
in this connection , i must point out that , last year , a new decision was taken with the council to the end of a long debate and i have little hope to be able to take up this debate . 
the financial plan decided in berlin for the period informed until 2006 foresaw 8.1 billion euros the meda programme . 
i would therefore ask the council and also the committee on budgets to think in terms of foreign policy and not just in terms of budgetary policy , when they are dealing with foreign policy . 
the second concerns the aid to provide victims with breaches of human rights which need to treatments into specialist bodies . 
if a solution to the compromise authorised to support the important work of the emac committee came to chipped during the time left to us , we could still settle this ; otherwise , the position of our committee remains open . 
it is enough for us to remember the day after day for sparking our posts tv and that for the middle east through a difficult time . 
that is why i hope that it will after all , the vote tomorrow , to the majority of the need for the monitoring centre in dublin . 
mr president , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development , i would like to make a start , and especially with regard to rural development . 
we have asked and approving a credit indicative of two million euros an information campaign on the cfp . 
the european commission should negotiate with the argument of weight to reach a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and governments should be involved as to give them a political support in these negotiations . 
we consider that today the budget 2001 , by having headed by the pictures of the serbian population . 
overall , we would like those amendments are approved . 
yet , a path to date by which citizens can ensure that their concerns are taken into consideration is that it is the call on the ombudsman , mr president sent on a petition to parliament . 
i would like to begin by referring to the budget of this house . 
the surprise to many members of my delegation , we have , at the beginning of september , established a unanimous platform strategic . thus 400 amendments tabled by some members have formed a surprise to many of us in the committee on budgets . 
it is hard to imagine how new posts could solve the problem of management if the commission as the council , there are still tape another age are being used to implement many programmes . 
in recent years , this parliament has consistently shown that it relied its work on a real sparingly . 
it is unacceptable to speak , for years , with very vague about on commitment and of the reaffirm regularly if it is to say , when it comes to its accounts , that this is not enough for us and that both sloppily on our promises . 
if we do pinning that some unfortunate million on these lines - and we can hardly more - we agiterons a carrot that we will withdraw when these people in will really need . 
as the budget last year , the 2001 budget is disagreed is facing problems almost insoluble : on the one hand , the pressure in favour of the consolidation and the policy of austerity , as agreed in the interinstitutional agreement , to ensure the financing of enlargement ; the other hand , the need troublesome financing of the stability pact for the balkans . 
demand improved performance also means more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , in its original version , should have been able to start changing the gives , but the majority of the committee on budgets rejected this idea . 
and there , unfortunately , there are many examples : the privileged treatment granted to associations to vocation federalist or to many ngos the job , the philosophy and the operation of the more debatable , financing of european political parties , through to stand in offset the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of member states by the soundness of the euro at a time when the european currency is experiencing a loss of confidence broadly shared by the europeans our friends danish until the leaders of the european central bank . 
finally , our colleague heaton-harris rightly pointed out , in the amendments that he has proposed , the unilateral nature of many european programmes in the middle desquels it serves a whole propaganda on citizen about european integration , and this on its own costs , businesses . 
our administrative systems must be modernised . we must also give a good example . 
the meda programme , devoted to the mediterranean , geographical area of the utmost importance strategically , a good example of lack of capacity executions . 
when there is talk of making cuts or take money to the category 4 for giving resources to certain priorities , we should remember what are the priorities of the house . we have done emerge as a result clearly during the vote in committee . 
this amount should therefore to be the subject of a clarification . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
this simply means that there are elements of real flexible in order to make progress on this or such policy , even when someone is unable to , or does not wish to do , and what applies to the countries of europe also applies to the candidate countries . 
i believe that austria has not complain of what has happened , the opposite . 
the recommendations of the regional organisations as well as the experiences of neighbouring countries will certainly contribute to the definition of these resources . 
in 1984 , 0.2 % owners colombians belongings 32 % of the earth . 
the council is not here to comment or that aspect of this question which is extremely sensitive and painful . 
at the same time , nor can you like that to initiate a debate on issues which are , once again , extremely complex . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
i will profound gratitude well to give a definitive answer to this difficult issue . 
quite simply , we have the feeling , and your answer bears a little , that the council presidency is not very proactive in the treatment of this issue . 
therefore , the income of this tax will obviously not null and void . 
i too would like to apologise , but you will apply the rules . 
if the right side of the house has remained silent , so that we have dealt with these issues back-track and in our opinion it is pointless to return several times on the same issues in this chamber while our time is valuable . 
furthermore , pending the adoption of this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies , a decision of withdrawal of material by presenting risks in scrutiny of these diseases has been taken in june 2000 , in order to curbing any progress news of the epidemic and make the consumer the level of health protection the highest possible . 
i do not have other factors than those that i was able to inform you earlier . 
we follow and we know well the work of the commission and council on the erika package 1 . however , the topic of this passage , which is known as the two countries and known within the european union , which is a particularly difficult passage , borrowed by and large ships to win only a few hours , with the risk of old tubs come not founder and cause a disaster , i would have liked to know , and especially the inhabitants of corsica , of sardinia would have liked to know , will it be possible if you considering and banning purely and simply the changeover 's teeth bonifacio by these large ships , these major containers . 
that is why i think we should , in principle , support the commission 's proposals for the revision of the policy of staff . 
we must inject money costs in the budget for serbia and kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , and i would like to finish by it , it goes even scrapping the lines of the budget of eur 50 million to finance the agreement peace israel / plo . 
that is why we propose , the european parliament , new measures which liberalizers at least to seek new funding - we know that the present climate makes this - that seal new compromise interinstitutional which improve the quality of expenditure and will ensure that no euro will be wasted . 
mindful of this political union , as in any other area , the options moderate sometimes cease to be selfdetermination . 
it is designed to muddy rather than to shed light , and i was disappointed by the attitude adopted today in the integration budgetization by activity . 
the fact apportion expenditure depending on activities enables look at the budget as a political instrument in which the breakdown of expenditure accurate reflection of political priorities . 
we must find a solution multiannual in order not to duty , year after year , rediscuss whenever the way we could find money in favour of the reconstruction of the balkans . 
are those who are interested in developing a sustainable agricultural sector does not ignore them that the momentum plant in the recent reform , as it was agreed in berlin , ' shifts to ' constantly assistance to the raw materials in direct support income of farmers . 
a budget , ladies and gentlemen , is still much more than a danced figures . 
finally , it is immoral , mr president , to reduce the expenditure in the agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the social excluded , in view of chipped resources intended to finance the commitments of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . 
clearly , be avoided the serbian population are suffers from the cold and starving during the winter . 
furthermore , i wish to express my concern to see the various parliaments of young incorporated in the socrates programme . 
of course we should also like to say clearly to the council that it bears some responsibility for the development insufficient some external programmes . 
we must now make a stable solution regarding such aid , especially when it comes to their planning in the long term for the western balkans . 
i think that most people would be prepared to accept such costs , provided that this money to be used correctly . 
i share the concerns and argument as the rapporteur , mrs rühle , has raised this evening in the field of research and the ' social assistance . 
a fortnight ago , was held in the parliamentary assembly acp . 
in the same time , we also want to see budgetary resources to be invested in the funds for research and information , with a view to look for alternative production for producers of current tobacco . 
i want to make clear that the european union has influence the more direct and the most positive that you can imagine on northern ireland , . 
in this model , compliance with rules and procedures is guaranteed by an independent authority and , in the final instance , by the judges . 
we will thereby , for the first time , a codecision procedure at first reading on a text extremely complex and a lot of technical difficulties , relative to a sector particularly sensitive to protect the rights of individuals . 
it is very positive that there was no convened in a single authority their respective tasks . 
whatever next example that the schengen system has accumulated over 10 million sheets concerning nearly one million year-and-a-half of citizens , that europol sees its powers steadily extended , centralize information from various police fifteen member states , and this under control , the only way to an authority which neither the competence nor the resources are put at its disposal to allow him to accomplish this truly another task . 
in any case , i advantage of the presence of commissioner to say that it would seem appropriate to concern itself only for the protection of the citizen compared with the new technologies , but also of the use of these technologies and to encourage the capacity of the european citizen to intervene and interact with regard to the european institutions . 
unnumbered amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 and 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 , 60 to 64 resuming the council text to the points where the commission may mark assent . 
it goes without saying , therefore , that its opinion on the legislative proposals affecting the protection of personal data will be very valuable promoting it will be an important contribution to the debate legislative between the institutions . 
the treaty indeed recognizes the outermost regions an economic and social situation difficult , aggravated by the handicaps individuals which the permanence and seriously damage the interaction relate to the development of these regions . 
it will happen to the promotion of economic and social progress through a high level of employment . 
i therefore congratulate mrs sudre and we look forward to the implementation of the commission 's proposals so that it may be taken into account the near characteristics , pursuant to rule 299 , paragraph 2 of the treaty of amsterdam . 
for many europeans , some outermost regions are only tourist destinations on the map . 
our rate of unemployment is higher among the union . 
i am pleased that the commission has adopted a large majority in the amendments that i had tabled . 
it is very important , sure outermost regions be integrated into the trans-european transport , energy and telecommunications . 
the adoption , unanimously for members of the committee on regional policy , the report presented by our colleague margie sudre is a testimony to the fidelity adjourned towards one of its commitments is most important . 
we are discussing is a set of circumstances and believe that from the point ideal and idyllic - let us call - will have been achieved , it will be no need to take further action in the treatment of these three areas and , more particularly , the outermost regions we are discussing . 
this article , ladies and gentlemen , do not allows us to do everything , but it allows us to strengthen and , i think it is necessary , the widen and to improve our action . 
preparation for the proposals which are necessary , the commission obviously collaborating with the member states and the regions concerned . 
in these areas , as we know , there lastingly difficulties and so i believe , objectively , according to their actual level of development , that they will require permanent support for the regional policy of special measures . 
a meeting of this kind could again be organised in the year 2001 , when we will be more advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . 
the presidency said that closed and i will accept perfectly . 
i believe that parliament is doing to adhere to the current rules because , as this is another colleague , very often , indeed , but not by machines which did not work , but the members who have forgotten to vote , and if you could correcting a vote by afterwards , we are in handicapping ever . 
i am clearly what i eating . 
in short , commissioner , in such a authority , it is essential for the commission services responsible , in cooperation and in coordination with the member states , establish a system of controls homogenous and effective in the whole food chain and that the network of food laboratories of european union to be strengthened and works in coordination with the commission . 
we must avoid duplication level of activity and scientific research , which means a cooperation with national research centres and community . 
we are now discussing on a white paper and interest to define some great principles . 
now , these procedures have been amended and changed and we have our own agency 's national food safety , the food standards agency . 
finally , we will also several new amendments , specifically on the amendments 11-13 , 7-9 and we want to have a vote conscientiously on amendment no 14 . 
in this context , i should like to say from the outset that the food safety depends entirely organization by the authorities of stringent controls - controls that are too stringent than link and the weakest . 
it emerges clearly of examining this question is how superficial and empty the debate we are on the political unification of europe . 
entrusting so to the european food safety authority is the only experience scientist , in liaison with our national agencies . 
if people are to expand the progress made in the main diseases origin foodstuffs which affect europe at present , the majority have in fact the first outbreak in america . 
nevertheless , it is imperative to define the conditions referral to the authority of food safety to ensure an effective and rapid action . 
we should also emphasise , like some previous speakers , especially mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is the call for a new regulatory framework within the european union . 
mr president , i get today both a satisfaction and recognition , on the one hand and with which the commission has initiated this work in favour of better food safety , and the other hand owe mr bowis and the whole of the committee on environment , public health and consumer protection . 
amendment no 17 seems to me particularly important . it provides that the council request to the consumer organizations . 
another aspect is the review organic standards on labelling , both for the sale by and large that detail , reviewed and gives thanks traceability of products and their ingredients , an accurate information to consumers and allows the determination of responsibility in any case high-risk or of crisis . 
in my opinion , drafting a new legislation is not the right response to the non-observance of the existing legislation . 
in the vote in committee , we managed to restore balance , the inserted as in the field of application questions relating to the nutrition and other references to the essential role of small and medium-sized businesses in the safeguarding of eating habits . 
mr president , i wish to join colleagues in congratulating the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very constructive approach and logical for this specific problem . 
mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety has no value legislative shielded does no harm to the dual value it certainly utmost . 
the rapporteur , as well as many meps in the committee , including myself , have placed the emphasis on the food authority , in , which is rather a shame . 
the independence and autonomy of the body are advantages which serve the best interest of european consumers . 
i have said many times , during all this time , we had the opportunity with the choice of the rapporteur . 
mr president , i would like to congratulate our colleague mr bowis has to be truly endeavoured to integrate all the points of view in his report and , above all for having accepted that we referred to the concept of the more general food . 
in short , mr president , the policy should not shirk its responsibilities . 
but above all , we must win the respect of its peers and public confidence and trust and persuade the governments of member states to accept its conclusions . 
the question that i envisages a future european food safety authority . 
there are the world health organisation in geneva . 
i cannot conceal however , that in publishing the white paper , i have spoken against the creation of such an authority . 
it is therefore to ensure that the european union does have the highest possible standards of food safety , but this view - shared unanimously - must also analyse the economic consequences this entails for the sectors affected by a requirement of production . 
the tasks of the agency will then the following : independent scientific research , consultation , inspections and controls self-employed , as well as the rapid alert system , but certainly also a task of coordination in order to restore confidence . 
just in passing , i would say to previous speakers have referred to the question of the need to be sensitive to the promotion of local products or nontraditional that this issue is covered by legislation in the hygiene . 
this climate consensual ease the commission 's task when it is time for submit a balanced proposal which takes into account the maximum advice exposed by parliament and the numerous stakeholders in the field of food safety . 
in fact it is true , this subject has been in recent years should forces engine which have led , in both political and , at the signing of the convention to ottawa . 
i remind my opposition to amendments nos 10 and 19 to concern coherent budgetary and , in relation to amendment no 29 , i would ask the roll-call vote blocks in order to have an improved wording of the text which suffers in my problems of interpretation 
this is how raises a first question . the european union and especially the commission must do everything to countries that they do not yet done signing the agreement is ottawa . 
- ( de ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know the impact of landmines , although they are dynamite often in special cases justification military as important . 
it is their has raised for the first time , in 1996 , the call for a budget line horizontal and the creation of an appropriate legal basis in order to provide a unique platform to very many actions undertaken in this important area . 
i cannot hide the fact that the power of persuasion of the union to achieve this objective is somewhat flies in the reluctance of some member states which balk sign to ratify the convention . 
combating mines gain in efficiency when it adapt to conditions own every situation . 
parliament knows that as it exists already too many and that through our proposals for reform of eu development external action , we hope we escape the ponderous scrutiny of individual projects and concentrate our debates with the member states on strategies and programmes overall . 
ngos have mushroomed responding to needs . nevertheless , we can see that around four years after the first conference of un landmines are which was held in geneva and over a year after the entry into force of the convention to ottawa , many countries and thousands of people in the world , in most areas in the poorest , continue to suffer the terrible consequences of anti-personnel landmines and no unexploded ammunition . 
the commission must improve both the quality of its programmes and the speed of their implementation . 
however , i believe that , if you read through again could be very carefully , you will note that there are a number of amendments which you mentioned in my view , relate to countryside awareness , on transparency , on access to humanizing of the ngos , on things which work very well at this time but which might still operate more effectively . 
mrs bonino and mr patten also have reason to declare that parliament and the council should not concern itself with issues administrative and i have listened very carefully the remarks made by mr patten on this matter , because it clearly believes that we should even less deal with this . 
mr president , long ago that our group intervenes actively on the whole spectrum of applications and measures are needed , since the adjournment of the production of destroying stocks , the judgment of the marketing , until the de-mining operations , the rehabilitation of victims and awareness . 
the member states then to support the process in international forums . 
the landmines naturally represent a major obstacle to the reconstruction of these countries and the return of refugees . 
with the rate at which we shall , as has already been said , we should much more than a hundred years to rid the world landmines . 
the third sector is to propose concrete measures , to monitor and to execute . 
for every child that we protect in bosnia , in africa and elsewhere of the death penalty or of horrendous injuries engendered by mines , the efforts that we are providing all are justified . 
it must indeed pressure to bear on the european union countries that have been signed , as finland , or which are not ratified , as greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , look at finland ! 
finally , we hope that the future tasks of the european military force common prévoiront formation technicians , specially from local people having an interest in the disappearance of antipersonnel mines . 
i cannot emphasise also that the list of countries most seriously achieved is mainly consists of the developing countries . 
the proposals from the european parliament could be more sauraient in contradiction with the aims of lisbon . 
the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , and i hope parliament decided to amend the commission proposal , mainly adding some areas for which the legislation is inappropriate , and the other hand , by defining a number of rights at european level . 
thus the process of luxembourg , which applies to the policy of employment , should be extended to social protection and social exclusion . 
have the great powers as germany , france , great britain and , to some extent , italy , are all agreed to submit their domination of the small countries of eastern europe or the south which call their accession to the european union . 
however , we feel for legal reasons that it was a mistake to refer just now in article 6 of the ec treaty , because it has not been formally adopted by the convention - because of its structure - and this is therefore a livelihood legal . 
he thinks that the inclusion of a new text in the treaties risk legal confusion . 
furthermore , the rapporteur will echo the theory of the new in vogue in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union of citizens represented by the european parliament be member states represented by the council . 
the swedish and danish social democrats have voted against the report by mr olivier duhamel on constitutionalising the treaties . 
it is essential that the european union evolving towards a constitution which incorporates the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution would only make sense if it constituted the democratic framework of a real european federation , the united states of europe . 
it has told us having understood , in agreement with a large part of the politicians , that we préférions govern our relations with other countries by an international treaty . 
. ( de ) i welcome in the report by mr duhamel as an interesting and constructive contribution to the idea of constitutionalising the treaties . 
they believe that a rearrangement and a simplification of the treaty 20-minute is better grasp of the scope of responsibility of the eu , its limits , as well as the procedures exercise responsibly in question . the charter of fundamental rights has been prepared on the basis of a convention involving national parliaments , the european parliament and representatives of the government . 
until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe was a super-president commun intergovernmental . 
the edd group voted against the report gil-robles gil-delgado on strengthened cooperation . 
it evident in the design of a union far too monolith , where all the partnerships should be expressed within the ' single institutional framework ' , and where they should all be directed towards the objective superstate . 
it is therefore avoid slow down the running of the whole and thus allow some member states to move on developing the mechanism of closer cooperation . 
the structures of the single market usable have always been a success since the early 1990s . 
. ( nl ) cooperation could be useful to resolve the cross-border problems . 
these areas could be a fantastic laboratory in terms of sustainable development . 
the technocrats , the european judges , have wanted thus remove ' granting the seafarers ' which breeds resources in our shared by overseas and above protects our craftsmen . 
the other hand , france has the territories overseas territories in the indian ocean and in the caribbean . 
its independence will be an essential factor in its credibility . 
our vote so clarified the role and the composition of the future european authority , but also specified demands regarding its financing and its independence . 
secondly , the european agency must be completely independent . 
it should take into account the type of farming practice and agro-industrial , problems imports of goods foodstuffs , the composition of feed ingredients , maximum levels of dioxins and of residues of pesticides components of food and others , by giving priority to the food safety . 
we have voted for amendment no 14 because we are very strongly committed to defending the european cultural heritage linked to the local food production . 
we will have to manoeuvre in practically no category . 
we would also inscribe 50 % of the budget line and put 50 % in reserve . 
i note here that other proposals aimed at reducing this 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 , i apparais as signatory of certain amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the real surprise this budget relates to external action where dominates egocentricity and the small-mindedness . 
other resources could be log-jam by means of the instrument of flexibility . 
i have voted against the haug report , the same way as i have voted in favour of the proposal of my group to reject the general budget for 2001 . 
we refer in particular to the new pilot project which finance the information measures in the context of the fight against paedophilia . 
this shows , to some extent , about motivation that raises the european project , even amongst the people politically active . 
20 to 30 % of the markets will happen again offered to competition privacy . 
given that all this is not guaranteed in the report , i voted against the report . 
it would combines the lowest level unacceptable limitations not national decimates premiums , with the proposed cuts quantities of withdrawal - 5 % for citrus fruits , 8.5 % for the apples and pears and 10 % for the rest fruit and vegetables on the amount destined to the market - is understandable that , for large quantities of processed products for people fruit and vegetables , there will be no end to distribution . this would result in the overall falling prices , the putrefaction of products in the fields and in plants with numbing of cooperatives , thereby forcing farmers in déterrer what they have grown . 
i have voted for this report because it corresponds to the expectations of the organisations of the portuguese horticultural sector , which offsets a change belt-tightening com in fruits and horticultural products regarded deeply damaging to the national interests . 
report ( johan van hecke a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
this issue its roots in the sacrifice of in an here too the quality of environment and climate , on the altar of capitalist exploitation of resources and profit disproportionate . 
the richest countries had decided at kyoto to take into burden the cleaning their own atmosphere , even though they were also allowed , in limits sufficiently rigorous , to inscribe on their list of results reductions in emissions that they will help to obtain elsewhere . 
. the fight against the effect of greenhouse gases is a major issue for the industrialised countries , including a duty towards the nations of third-world which already paying their lives for the consequences of global warming . 
all the genius in managing to live with intelligent way . 
it will also ensure and increase effort geared to the detection of substances suspected of living of endocrine disrupters and , perhaps in a legislative framework . 
the consumer and small and medium-sized enterprises cannot benefit not yet enough of the internal market , including the introduction of the euro enshrines the completion . 
moreover , recent so far we have obliged the banks to communicate them cross-border payments of over eur 12 500 to their central bank the purposes of statistics balance of payments . 
these companies will obviously not meet the requirements identical in matters of security and laundering . 
we even aware of cases in which the costs of transaction for cross-border payments have increased postérieurement in introducing the euro , and that in the proportions rather considerable . 
the european central bank could be a contribution by imposing a formula for mopping-up standardised for payments at european level , and supporting establishing a single standard for numbering of financial accounts internationally iban . 
it is important that consumers accepting the euro . 
madam president , the report by mrs peijs , relative to payments of detail in the internal market , reiterates the old demand of the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border payments in the european union . 
the peijs report says itself in recital d of the resolution . i quote : ' the high costs related to cross-border transfers detrimental to the confidence of consumers in the euro ' . 
we therefore still have to be done in this area , but on this point , the resources and means of policies are more modest than what we can do for the question of payments in detail in the internal market . 
the market of the euro is perceived as an area within the treaties do not understand why , in space where the risks erm are obituary and where electronic payments , notably banking transactions by the internet , are increasingly currents , an about-face between munich and salzburg costs much more expensive a transfer between munich and kiel . 
the achievement of this objective will require , even on you and us , for many years of work . 
we also avail of this opportunity to consider the shorter period of time for implementation of the cross-border payments that the report by mrs peijs request with insistence . 
the debate is closed . 
it nevertheless seems a good policy to prefer a pragmatic approach of subsidiarity , which put the small company at the heart of the instrument , rather than a proposal which , under the pretext of prevent thinly , would serve only to produce terminology statistics whose use practical would be completely impossible . 
specifically , i have three comments to make on this programme . 
recall that the first programme for community action in this area has been adopted in 1983 , i.e. there seventeen years . 
furthermore , i have always sought to achieve these goals through an effective policy and pragmatic . 
i would say that these are real economic commandos and innovation , are owngoal at first line who are exposed to risks inherent in this area . 
we will finally to take account of the findings of symposium ' science and governance ' , which was held last week , in brussels , under the auspices of central technology foresight in seville , favour follow up on symposium , because there are many interferes with the subject we are discussing today . 
the rapporteur enumerates a set of priorities aimed at enterprise level . 
that is good for the image of europe because that can help the people of quicker way , correct and i am responsible . 
mr president , i too wish to associate myself gratitude for the excellent work done by mrs montfort . 
it is important is that the right balance , to avoid that some people will fail continually at the expense of others . 
that is not right and i therefore support this report ! 
this is also the principle of the charter for small businesses . 
the programme will ensure that the networks provide this information . 
it is clear that the main aim of this plan is to muzzle the emigration towards the countries of the european union , together with repatriate people who live illegally in the eu . 
i specifically underlines the need for setting up of measures to improve internal security , strengthening dialogue between europeans and the regional authorities to albania and , as regards the commission and the council , the promotion of particular actions in cooperation with the albanian authorities , greek and italian . 
the lack of reports social , economic and political , combination of the lack of security and to organised crime inducing on flow of migration mass . 
mr president , unlike my colleague mrs pack , my opinion is that there will be more of groups who planks of albania , the better . 
it is of course it is not possible to find an immediate solution to the problem in general , but in a slightly longer term , the aim is to create a world of fairness and right , which gives the men safety and the possibilities of the future . 
there are also a gap between , on the one hand , donors , i.e. us all , europe , the united states , which give with money , which produce projects , and the other hand , people who work on the ground . 
therefore use the bilateral agreements , which , as some lawful and clear , define the work , the duration of residence , the place of residence , remuneration , hours , the conditions of employment and welfare , so that the émigrés thus become a force which invests in value the economies of our countries and will help to friendship and cooperation between peoples and not in the culture of nationalist aspirations and worthy of the cold war . 
the men and women are sent back so that they were more or less integrated . 
the priority must not be given to means of limiting the flow of migrants or refugees but to the way to improve the living conditions of the region so that people have no to leave their homes . 
mr president , i too feel , as is rightly said dimitrakopoulos , there are still at the heart of what constitutes the difficulties of albania - economic , social policy and internal security - the question we can help to restore its state of law confer security to its citizens , to restore the authority of its institutions and their local administrations . 
i share the view of our colleague liese , according to which we need to establish burden-sharing asylum on a number of refugees . 
the action plan for albania was adopted in june this year , and so it is the sixth kind . 
we see , in the population , the frustration diffuse , but also a ignorance of community law . we wish to invite the european parliament and other community institutions should not shy small business , hard work with precision , to devote time and staff necessary to the performance of tasks . 
with this report , we want to show the citizens that we take seriously their complaints relating to the poor quality of legislation as well as those relating to regionalisation and to the excessive centralization . 
the subject is of course important , even though the limited number of those present for debated does not necessarily leaves assume at first sight . 
in addition , and this is a crucial point , the report addresses the issue of subsidiarity , which , tonight , raises the controversial in this house . 
it would also very interesting that it widen an summarising the legislation , in the light of this principle , in order to make it simpler , more transparent , more efficient and more relevant in the endless texts redundant , as also invite the paragraph 6 of this report . 
having studied the report with great attention to it , i am come to the conclusion that it is not a political principle but a principle theology . 
we must therefore ensure recognition of the principle of subsidiarity to the united smaller autonomous communities , to reality , to training , social intermediaries to training , to families and to people who are the unique genuine sovereign of administrative and legislative action . 
i shall therefore give you a vision summarising the situation . 
i give the floor to mr commissioner . 
is that one area where we should move towards an exhaustive regulation , with the guarantee that it will be implemented everywhere or should we move towards a voluntary agreement , provided that there can be implemented and controlled ? 
- ( de ) if i have voted in favour of it , even if some of my amendments have not been adopted , it is because they have also elaborates on the question of high costs exchange and mopping-up in the euro . 
when , in approximately 15 months , the same coins and notes will be introduced in eleven member states , it cost more be procured this new unity monetary outside the country where we can live . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i wish to begin by saying that i regret that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , will be able to be here with us . 
this must encourage cooperation in the fishing and the fisheries sector moroccan while at the same time satisfy fully the interests of the eu fishing fleets . 
we are therefore reached a consensus to work in the prospect of a responsible partnership , after what morocco will present its point of view during a meeting to be held , as you emphasised , as in brussels on 30 october , i.e. monday . 
a few weeks ago , i myself went to algeciras , on the south coast spagnola . this is not far from the morocco . 
over time , we have been able to observe that they were only difficult but also that they could become impossible . 
through its fishing agreements , the eu can exercise of fishing activities and of exchanging prerogatives fisheries agreements with third countries . 
i read in a journal technical swedish fishing on how one of these vessels cornered its decision-making in el aaiún , which is described as a port moroccan . 
all this is put to the test . the whole of our fishing agreements and not simply with morocco since there has also mauritania and soon guinea , for example , - who are called into question . 
there has been put in eleven months to get to reverse the point where we are currently , namely the meeting on 30 and in this respect , we also appreciate the latest measures taken by commissioner fischler , the results of his trip on 26 in morocco and the entrevues kept to a high level , including with the king itself . 
but i would like to convey to the commission , today dignity represented by commissioner busquin , messages few very brief . 
my question to the commission is this : if we do not get an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is concluded under the terms reported by the commission , an agreement which stimulates the production moroccan , does the commission to adopt structural measures to compensate for the delay which happen in the regions affected ? 
as foreseen , the difficulties of negotiation with the moroccan authorities have been big . 
finally , in case , regrettable , where the negotiations fail , the union has the obligation to political and moral support owners and fishermen for aid is satisfactory and inducements to ensure their means of subsistence . 
we must reduce the over-capacity of the fishing industry community . 
that is why we need quite soon to close economic and political relations with morocco , at the same time defending the interests of our european fishermen . 
that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership aimed an interesting development both sides , with the one hand , the development subvention the fishing industry of morocco , the fleet , aquaculture , the processing of trade , research and the other hand , the allocation of fishing opportunities for european fishermen . 
rights of teachers of language 
the difference is net , and not just in german language . 
in july 1999 , the commission has borne this procedure is infringement proceedings before the court of justice . 
so , unless it is the only reach to harmonize systems - what we hope - at this time respecting the principle of subsidiarity must not allow it widen through to a discrimination which , much more likely , is the proposal to privileges . 
we can certainly acknowledge that the previous commission , of mr santer , it was not the best , that is why it has now gone . 
the members of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market of the whole of the union and to all parties , have met for proclaim uselessness speak of rights and recommending the adoption of charters of rights if , in the very real situations in which individuals are deprived of their rights , nor does nothing to ensure that these rights to be recognised and respected . that is the problem in the present case . 
this attitude is quite unacceptable in a modern europe . 
the field of education falls course more subsidiarity , but under the treaties , the free movement of workers and prohibition of discrimination are our own at all , although we - and particularly in my view , because i come from a state very fédératif - we déclarions followers of the principle of subsidiarity as a principle of a cooperation within the european union and that we midnight on so that the remit of competences between the levels in europe to be taken soon ranked according to the principle of subsidiarity . 
in this context , it cannot be about discrimination . 
you , mr president , you apprehensive treat by someone who knows as well terms surgical in italian , french , english , german , or by a surgeon ? 
( the sitting was closed at 10h56 ) 
we are again express our deepest sympathy . 
i give the floor to mr ceyhun , who will speak as rapporteur and on behalf of the socialist group . 
with regard to the statements by the council and commission on the third asia-europe meeting , the council has namely that it does not wish to speak at this time . 
consequently , this is an issue which , according to the euratom treaty , the responsibility of the commission ; it concerns , or could culpable , many citizens who are not exclusively spaniards because there are , in this area and in his area , without that there is no plan emergency , hundreds of thousands of citizens from the fifteen eu member states , not to many people who come from outside to take advantage of the costa del soil . 
madam president , it is sad , albeit very revealing , to hear the minister of spanish , mr mayor oreja , to say that it pointless to dialogue with the basque nationalists even if a new cease-fire was stated in the future . 
may i ask that we look at this week a statement by the commission 's proposals on the uk government 's decision to introduce a tax discriminatory for hauliers no british . 
given that the parties have said liberals and even european tending increasingly to combine with forces of inspiration , racist and xenophobic authoritarian , i believe it is only a serious hazard for the italy but also a sign of something which concerns throughout europe . 
my report contains however serious criticism and with the french proposal . 
these requests are expressed in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . 
the initiative of the french presidency that we are considering the object improved two general conventions on mutual assistance in criminal matters - that i mentioned earlier - especially in the area of the fight against money laundering . 
we have to admit that if the project of the fight against money laundering has undergone a injury , the blame in this recurs in parliament , but not on the council . 
we can only congratulate of this work . 
of course , the way forward , as mr marinho said - i admit - is the communitisation . 
all those who expressed have agreed that this was an excellent initiative , and we support its content . 
what we need , is that europol can operate right across borders . 
these facts occur too often in our europe of today and , before my support to a mutual makeshift , i would like to see a mutual recognition of standards and fair . 
i accept that this will be difficult because we must build from instruments dispersed . 
but it is also necessary to strengthen the economic pole that represent the european union and this reflects the wishes of citizen which we have to bear in mind for the people of the european union have a right to security . 
in the eu , we must fight with tenacity against money laundering is , in having conscious that we have to have an effective legal and political cooperation between member states , as effectively as possible , especially since the creation of the single market and the liberalisation of markets and capital financial services . 
with regard to the council financially , nothing allows thinking we advocate that exercises not practising in as such . 
similarly , i would like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the question raised by various members on the conditions under which the confidentiality of legal professions may constitute a refusal based on judicial cooperation in terms of combating money laundering is . 
this is particularly true with regard to the serious crimes and the most serious crimes too border-transcending . 
overall , the mission is so important wide-ranging and that it can be wielded by the council alone . 
it follows that it is necessary to reinforce the rights of citizens in adopting an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly as regards its right interpretation and in its power to anyway or not . 
therefore , although i am in favour of strengthening cooperation and coordination , i believe that a system of this legislation would be a mistake , and we will oppose . 
the second point i would like to raise is also interesting . 
and so on positive initiative , and it is therefore pleasing that it obtienne such support in this house . 
i shall take this opportunity of - since several members have raised a very sensitive issues - to tell you quite frankly , as has just said mr coelho , that this initiative we mainly appears as a first initiative which demonstrates the political will of the council recover delays which exists in the field of judicial cooperation , in relation to the police cooperation . 
and that is why i regard these as an important instrument in order to guarantee that judicial control of europol . 
the programme fair concerning the actions of research in the field of agriculture and fishing was included in the fourth framework programme which has circulating in 1994 to 1998 . 
given the importance of the programme of research agriculture and fishing , it is regrettable that we have also pinpointed some problems in the organisation of the programme . 
the report of the court of auditors on the programme fair , at the origin of the report by the rapporteur , has been published in march this year it letters of sector concerning the eco-audit had initially been sent by the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . 
i would like , on behalf of the fisheries committee , to highlight certain points . 
you pointed out , and i thank you , spirit which has chaired the report , through dialogue with the court of auditors , the commission services and the interest that there you trumps . 
this illustrates that the commission is not inactive and that it gives following the comments which you formulated . 
i now come to the question that mrs morgan has raised on the recovering sums of money . 
thank you very much , commissioner . 
this price will be issued to the ' association basta ya ' during the part-session next december . 
i am firmly convinced that it also means , even if some heads of state and government do not want to admit , opening constitutional process so often and if islamicists requested by this parliament . 
i am particularly pleased that before you today to discuss thoroughly of this beautiful draft that is the charter of fundamental rights of the european union , before you have adoptiez the final position of this house on this text . 
i have , for my part , no doubt that this opportunity to submit . 
however it is true that some criticisms have been made regarding the content of the charter . 
i believe that these are taking a position important and i welcome . 
this was a great success for us in parliament - and groups have done front on this point , which is a positive outcome - , we have achieved is sixteen members representing the european parliament by the convention . 
i believe that this charter is a blow to master it can become , as a major european newspaper headline 26 september , the map of visit to europe . 
consequently , my group still think it is absolutely essential to include a reference to the charter in article 6 , paragraph 2 , the treaty . 
many mps who pensèrent than europe détenait finally to escape the single area of free trade and of the rut free-market to lay the foundations for a europe of citizens . 
at the summit in nice , in december , society has decided to be mobilised to make its voice heard and clarion her desire for a charter of offering genuine guarantees for citizens of europe . 
for this , beyond signatures , it is important that all countries and all the political forces taking an effective commitment and respect it every day . the charter has not amendable . 
so weep or do pretending to be merry , celebrate this great event which is not the case at least one great event vacuum . 
the convention has done an excellent report . 
that is both the rights of the individual , the rights of citizens , but also social rights . 
the right to good administration , has also mentioned by mrs malmström , constitutes one of the most significant progress . 
to what extent mr blair accord on her meute freedom to speak on this project brilliant , i do not know , because i did not even heard . 
the last time , you spoke of the glass is half full or half empty . 
but cologne council , aided by the house , which has played very well and consumer protection semeur confusing , ended by everyone to forget that it is a matter for national parliaments , the latter are concerned about stealing by landslides lifeless . 
when it comes to protecting fundamental rights , a surplus may prove to be equally dangerous that there is insufficient ! 
when one hears the speeches by some members , the report makes realize that this information is needed more than ever . 
the big question which divides us is to know serves this charter . 
we shall certainly support the charter , but with the feeling that this does not allow mobilise enthusiasm and the involvement of both necessary citizens we in europe . as usual , the governments - and some more than others - in shoulder the historic responsibility . 
according to co-rapporteur , mr duff , it represents a crucial step towards improving the quality of european integration . 
for those who feel the need , i commend to read the explanations contained in the convention 49 , and to take cognisance of the case-law of both courts which are linked to the charter . 
mr president , i have long been doubts . 
for the first time since the creation of the european union , we have foundations of a constitution , a constitution for the supranational structure that is the union . 
the demonstration is an appeal to a social and democratic europe , a europe of citizens . 
the draft charter can be used , the title provisional , by the parties trades unions environmental organisations , churches and many others groupings of member states of the candidate countries and , as an interesting document reflection on the future of cooperation between the european peoples . 
i would like to dwell on three points which already raised this morning . 
the charter which will be adopted today will strengthen and invests underscores the common values and fundamental rights on which our community should be based . 
i join , of course , to those who wish inscribe , article 6 , a reference to the charter and its integration later in the treaties . 
let us remember the case of bernard connolly , whose book criticism on the commission has been prohibited by the court of first instance . 
this synthesis is important , at a time when the union is called to define the legal status , in terms of rights and obligations , for nationals of third countries who are legally in the european union . 
i am , for my part , exactly like him , convinced , on the one hand , it will have unique immediate effects on the other hand , it will be binding shortly . 
i have heard , during this debate , some formulae potent : the charter would be an bonemeal for the dog - the dog since the european parliament - or was cache-sexe of renunciations on the french presidency jute , especially in its conduct of the igc . 
that is the reason for our parliament has led to propose the setting up of a forum euro-turc , associating in an in-depth qualified the representatives of the turkish community and the members of the european parliament in which will have received the mandate . 
unanimity should not mean that we let everyone happy about democracy in turkey and the way in which turkey respects human rights : we are not . 
this has been raised , i know of course that the candidacy of turkey continues to raise questions about . 
the wish of the presidency is that this can be adopted quickly , if possible in fact from 20 november , for the next general affairs council and , as i have already indicated , in respect of very specific decisions taken at helsinki . 
there remains a less - as the commission has very clearly stated in its regular report - that turkey must , as all the other candidate countries , to copenhagen criterion in the process of rapprochement . 
in his speech last month before the turkish parliament , mr president sezer has explained very clearly why turkey has had no alternative to the undertaking reforms . 
thank you for your attention . 
here too , there were some slightly positive signals . 
we resisted attempts to , sometimes misleading , to break the balance that the report has managed to achieve , and we resisted in particular on the amendments which seek to make the european parliament tribunal to judge the past . 
this is an obvious clear , as it is clear that turkey will , like any civilised society , will have to address its past , such horrible as this has been taken . 
the accession of turkey on such a thing - and not because of considerations geo-strategic usa or of nato - constitute an enrichment for the european union is a significant step towards the unification of europe . 
oublie-t-on that only a small part territory turkish part of the european continent ? 
we therefore vote against this report , as we have voted against all the reports to include turkey in the eu . 
it would be unfortunate to awaken in turkey expectations which cannot be satisfied by the political situation . 
report ( a5-0310 / 2000 ) by mrs langenhagen , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the special report no 9 / 1999 from the court of auditors on the actions of research in the field of agriculture and fishing - fair programme ( fisheries , agriculture and agro-industrial research ) - accompanied responses of the commission ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ) 
i welcome this report and i am voting for . 
instead firing human rights and social rights towards the top , it will facilitate the operations are intended to draw downwards . 
it is by no means a shadow of a doubt that its ultimate aim is to serve the preamble to come to a european constitution , which in turn , y2k the crowning glory of the running of the eu towards the federalisation where , henceforth , institutionalised decisions will be taken by a number powerful to be applied by all . ultimate aim is to serve the interests of big monopoly of the european union at the expense of the interests of workers and , more generally , peoples . 
a typical case presented under article 2-2 ' nobody can be sentenced to death , or executed ' . 
anywhere it said , despite our demands , that the family formed a human and a woman who shooting children , and it is the fundamental social unit . 
in the sense judges have not been elected , this represents a step backwards in terms of democratic government . 
certainly , i would have mirrors directly integrated in our european treaties ! 
however , i abstained during the final vote , because i believe that some social rights are formulated in a way that the less upright economic rights . 
the initial idea of the convention was to have a text consensual which would allow the fifteen governments of making it mandatory for its incorporation into the treaties . 
in fact , the fight against social exclusion is obscurity rank of assistance , for example , to ask requirement elementary rights binding for employers to take . 
for my part , i am convinced that the secularism is a valuable emancipatory and topical . 
also lacks a social obligation linked to ownership . 
clearly , this document does not designed for revêtir legally binding , given that it does not constitutes a legal text . 
some members of the irish government have raised , there are few issues , so as to whether brussels negate the identity punt and mr ahern , while claiming that the belonging to ireland in the eu was crucial to prosperity and its economic success , because they are strongly opposed any movement quickly towards a federal europe more - centrally - , given that this would run well beyond what the majority of europe want or are able to accept at this time . 
guess who emporta ? 
i would stress in passing that this part-session , seven reports in total backdoor their origins in national initiatives , which shows that this system , where there is , ultimately very productive . 
these measures voluntarist are quite indispensable to combat this phenomenon , which has continued to occur and to internationalized . 
through this initiative , the french presidency proposes the adoption of a framework decision in view of approximation of laws and procedures in criminal matters on the laundering of money ( for example , screening , freezing and confiscation of funds ) . 
all the member states should deal on money-laundering as a crime indictable to a minimum of four years imprisonment . 
given that the laundering of money takes on huge proportions at world level , it is obvious that europol should benefit from powers to combat terrorism , in order to draw up a european strategy of police and judicial cooperation . 
i welcome the report by mrs roure on a new initiative of the french presidency - in sight , this time , to improve the legal cooperation , and to ensure that no barrier that prevents the extradition of criminals suspected of laundering money or other offences in doing so to speak of funds illicit . 
madam president , it is the only report on which i have voted défavorablement . 
it would be the first member state which casts a geographical paramount bridging the gap between us to asia , and the first of tradition still mainly muslim . 
this is especially true when pursues quantity of increasing the resources of the eib and which , without cover support for the economic risks that we take . 
in this context , i would point out the important conclusion of paragraph 22 who says that the turkey does not copenhagen criterion and i highlights the many sentences deeds and shortcomings , which turkey has been the subject in areas of human rights , democratic freedoms and of its attitude internationally , so that the recommendations of comply with the european values surround that parliament has addressed to the country . 
we are worried , mr president , i do not hear , today , such encouragement from the official turkish and of the turkish press , but certainly is there any attempt reaction . 
eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall , nicosia is the only capital of europe which is still divided . 
the progress indispensable have not been made in a large proportion adequate and turkey must continue its efforts . 
mr president , mr president-in-office , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , that is in my capacity as draftsman of the accession of cyprus that i would like to speak in this debate . 
mr president , it will be voting for the morillon report , because we are convinced that , contrary to what he says this and a large number of people who expect in turkey , too , accession will not improve the lives of . 
but i believe in the same time it must not portray an too black picture of the situation . 
there is clearly a relationship internally . 
euro-mediterranean conferences in marseille 
mr brok , which rejoined , asked about precisely on delays out-turn in the negotiations . 
we have , we europeans , an experiment to do queried . 
in fact , this is more , just as in 1995 , to restore a balance and west of europe , it also prepare the future enlargement of the union . 
xenophobia , terrorism of state or other forms of terrorism fall well in this area and i hope that we will also have the opportunity to put to good order . 
it is a fact which we are , unfortunately , we live with . 
but , once again , we should be francs . 
all this shows the awareness of the inadequacy of the results achieved so far , even if the answers are not yet , in my view , live up to the situation , and although we must recognise that five years , this is not very much for processes are too complex . 
that is why i believe that the debate today may serve to make us aware of the central importance of this policy for the eu as a whole . 
this is not a competition between all these needs this , but these are new money that we must find . 
the spiral of violence in the middle east , the war waged with determination and violence against the palestinian people , whom israel continues to refuse its right to a state , threaten the future of the entire region . 
mr president , like the european union must find , in nice , balance between deepening and enlargement , it should be developed , in marseilles , a balanced relationship between its function central european and mediterranean its responsibility . 
however , the general thrust of sheets have painting in fifth anniversary of the barcelona process is that we can look at dissatisfied with the simple continuity in the process , the fact that there have been in ministerial meetings with the presence of representatives of israel , palestinian authority , syria , lebanon , and so on . it may be a scant consolation . 
the common problems which knocking the mediterranean region are rife : illegal immigration , poverty , foreign debt , human rights , drought and terrorism , which destroys ruthlessly life human beings and families innocent , as we live tragically for spain algeria or the middle east . 
we are willing to believe , but the countries of the south need a change in promises or a speech : it is up to the give them . 
europe has undertaken any is first and desertification or on water in the mediterranean countries ; it advisable to undertake a specific policy on the environment mediterranean which commission-designate parameters , the logical and even the diversity of climate in the mediterranean . 
the proposals before us today are far more balanced . 
i come now to the agency in kosovo . 
we cannot disappoint them and , today more than ever before , these countries need our help . 
i shall conclude - and i ofi the words and one which , i would say that these two proposals are the cornerstone of a process that must enable these countries , who have suffered and suffer still able to fully integrated into the european structures . 
in future , we must give this responsibility to a smaller number - to a director-general too , if you like - so that someone actually assume the responsibility of the body selecting the various programmes . 
so i thank all members who have felt that this objective was important and welcome that in future , we can strengthen area - in terms of content - within those countries . 
i read in some communications on the elections in bosnia that the nationalist extremists have won the elections in bosnia-herzegovina . 
the european union - as you know - has involved with determination to help these historic changes . 
thorough reports westendorp and lagendijk on proposals for regulations relating , for a framework programme on , and the other , to the european agency for reconstruction will give us the opportunity to return to the extent of support for the eu intends to grant the western balkans , in order to accompany the process of stabilisation and association . 
the victory long awaited of democracy in croatia , can yugoslav federal republic , imposes , as we know , the european union to go well beyond . 
question time ( council ) 
as they deal with , the following questions nos 2 and 3 . 
a new period of four months just be granted to all parties - that is the resolution 1324 - for endeavour to make progress on two fronts . 
i would like to question on the state of the association agreements with morocco . 
the stability and development of caucasus represent one of the strategic priorities for the european union . 
with regard to the discussion with turkey , we coping with a very important debate on this issue and you know very exactly the eu 's views on this point . 
i would just like the minister emphasises that the legislative measures aimed those who exploit and profit from people are owngoal in desperate situations and did not aim for more criminalise immigrants or potential immigrants . 
as legislative measures that for measures to increase the debate to be developed for awareness is required . 
i think we need to effectively combat these crimes by every means , absolutely all means , and i note that both council and the european union that the general assembly of the united nations and , in my view , the turkish government , are prepared to do this . 
that , in fact because the other 14 countries disapproved that they have taken action . 
i take one example : if tomorrow in my country , france - and here i am speaking as president-in-office - came to power a party right-wing , i should like to take measures against my own country the kind of those which have been taken in the against austria . 
for my part , i wanted to talk about values and others spoke of values such that they are included in our texts , i have spoken of values as they reaffirming the charter of fundamental rights and that i have referred to in particular - that is true - of the fight against all discrimination , which is enshrined in frontispiece of european texts . that is what we should be respected . 
i would remind you that this political dialogue , based on the side of the future partnership for accession , one of elements of the strategy of turkey defined occasion . 
question no 12 by ( h-0850 / 00 ) : 
that is that we adopt and with that in ligne-là and in any other that we will enter into . 
on this occasion , be recognised that part moroccan has not responded to the community supply . 
these are the people of scotland , where , after 110 days remand , any person accused of having committed a crime must either be judged , must be freed and will never be accused of this crime . 
concrete measures wronged taken ( security of supply , energy efficiency ) for making the economy of smaller member states sensitive to external crisis ? what are the means and priorities of the council short , medium and long term , as regards the energy efficiency and saving energy ? 
the position of the union on the measures extra-territorial enacted by the united states has not changed . 
finally , i have recalled that the european union enjoying note with concern the observations made by the agencies are present and programmes of the united nations and therefore deplored the negative consequences and often dramatic lifting of economic american for the cuban people . 
the council comprend-il do not believe it is a political issue for excellence and it is unacceptable to take a heed to equally distance the victim of the executioner ? 
on the one hand , that office is in line with the commission 's decision to decentralise ; the other hand there have excellent results of management in the task that interstices . 
these fail to recognise borders . we must combat the illegal activities cross-border , either in the area of trade in drugs , the cross-border cooperation or the trafficking in human beings . 
we should look at what commissioner patten , who has great experience - not to say wisdom - in the processing of international crises , and which , he visited various parts of the balkan peninsula , be mended headquarters of the agency for reconstruction , thessaloniki , to see how does this service . 
but this region , the most turbulent region of europe , has never been complied with hopeful that today . 
but i should first like to thank the house for the excellent quality , and the speed of his work during the discussion of these two proposals for a regulation . 
we have also achieved results quicker in serbia , where the commission has put in place , in the space of four weeks , only a programme of emergency aid to a total of eur 200 million . 
of course , we can also accept the proposal wanting to the guidelines adopted in future by the commission reflect this same search for a more effective which underpins our reforms . 
i hope the house will understand the significance of the proposals that i have presented in may and that it will continue to work constructively together in a very difficult . however , can i offer my support parliament 's amendment to delete the requirement of unanimity , because that would run counter to the opinion of the college . 
the challenge of this third summit held in seoul forgot to deepen the asem process both for the participants governments that for the general public . 
as regards the area interpersonal ' ( ' people-to-people ) , the principle of opening-up of the asem process to a greater section of the civil society was maintained , although the initiatives of ngos to establish a social forum have no could see no owing to the reluctance of some asian partners . 
so we are very pleased that the summit seoul has taken place , and that all the heads of government , except one or two , people were present . 
there was even two concrete proposals which were adopted , namely the round table on globalisation and the duet fellowship program , which provides 4 300 fellowships up to 25 million dollars . 
the commission communication confines itself to deal with aspects relating to competences corresponding to the community and member states within the tasks arising from the participation in rfos . 
where is based on , all countries coast-wise exists in the world , few people benefiting from the economic potential , legal , political and legislative available by the european union , you will understand how it is important to ask ourselves what is our responsibility . 
the reform of the cfp will be vital , but it will be even more important to implement the appropriate reforms . 
i am thinking here migratory fish . 
we are all aware of , the information and well beyond . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i would first like to express the support that you accordez to efforts that we réalisons for promoting and strengthen community action in the regional fishing organisations . 
until now , some progress certainly have already been made , but we must still be employ to find a better planning in time . 
indeed , continues to improve the productivity of farms leads to a growth of supply and if it should be accompanied by an extension no bounds of the apparatus of production , this is impairment once again , inevitably , a heavy imbalance of the market . 
instead , it is much more sensible than every manufacturer of pigmeat represents its own economies . farmer to each of its piggy pigs . 
there is also reference is made the need to encourage producer organisations and , of which jostling differs considerably from one member state to another . 
the organization of markets , so that they have worked so far , have favoured the process of mergers more than they have made prevented . 
the globalization of the economy is presented as a trap , and this has nothing to do with the crises cyclical . 
all farmer , wherever it may be in the eu , will subscribe to this device . 
mr president , commissioner , the author of the report , mr garot , has dealt with seriously and clarified the commission 's proposal with a view to the introduction of fund regulation for the pigmeat sector . 
this is a question of balance . 
in this respect , i must say that my conclusions are different from those of my colleague mr garot . with regard to the commission proposal , i could almost agree to it as it has been presented , though , if we want to be honest , we must acknowledge that it adds nothing concrete to resolve the problem . 
then there is the involvement of specialized producers of piglets the proposed system , such as amendments nos 7 and 13 accentuate the . 
what i would therefore urge you , as the commission has presented to us ? 
firstly , an analysis of the budgetary implementation and practices of management was carried out well in each of the financial headings . 
in this respect , the court repeats what she said in previous years , i.e. that such a negative trend has consequences : decisions inept and rash , of overwork causing a risk of error , and so on . 
the dramatic events which happened recently have clearly shown that the problems of management and control constraint more and more button on the european agenda . 
this penalises member states conscientious and reward less conscientious . 
in this respect , i would add as soon as the commission emphasises the its work on the improvement of external aid , both in the direction of an institutional restructuring in this field in the direction of an liquidation closer and more quickly than in the past to significant remains to be cleared . 
now , the european parliament is in an extremely sensitive , because he has said - in january this year - that he would more serious errors in the closure of accounts for 1999 . 
i would like to make some problems and i hope that mr karlsson can answer to my questions today . 
we need more and more facts and figures . 
i would like it to be widen already this year so that we can begin to assess the dgs . 
we all know of course that the commission is working for some changes . 
this diminish the number of mistakes . 
the commission is therefore now holding rules . 
may i first thank mr karlsson because this year , cooperation with the committee on budgetary control has much better market as in previous years . 
i ask you to make a classifying countries and sectors most affected by the mismanagement in the eu . 
madam president , i too would like to sincerely thank the court of auditors ' report and his political assessment , yesterday the committee on budgetary control . efforts to reform their necessity were once again emphasised . 
there should be we read what was said by mrs van der laan - and we are all agreed on that . 
for this , perhaps it should be up to grant the president of the court power of decision greater on methods of the court and the way in which it communicates . 
the rates are different one state to another and their composition is different from one state to another . 
in its work is most important concerns the common agricultural policy , the special report on arable crops , the court concludes that , 1993 and 1997 community budget has spends over thirteen thousand billion euros longer which would be reasonable . 
i do not rubbing these are questions which it is impossible to answer . 
the court of auditors must also change its ways of work . 
there is always pleasing something new . 
this report was approved by a large majority of members of the committee of parliament , therefore , i will defend the result of the commission 's vote . 
the second point relates to ban exports , which has just been extolling the merits . 
i have reservations and would inclined to reject this provision . 
at the second or third reading , we will need to much-talked-about 314 votes and , such as the report is now , we shall get certainly not . 
the commission has just put forward a measure , but timid welcome , in this direction , that the commissioner locally-grown a perhaps more when he responds . 
we are in agreement with the rapporteur on the need to inform the consumer with regard to the risks and the play the card transparency , particularly in terms of health and safety . 
in my opinion , it is better to take greater account in the principle of subsidiarity . 
however , i remember a big debate that i had with my daughter so that she had nine years and has asked me to go to a round only in the street . 
we needed to ensure that we enforce a full protection of consumers , without however regulate certain things several times or at least contradictory . 
moreover , i should like to stress the importance of the amendments approved by the committee on environment , public health and consumer protection , which strengthen transparency with regard to the end consumer and which clarify the responsibilities , not only of producers , but also distributors in my view possible operations of withdrawal of products considered dangerous . 
it also means that when new provisions are taken during the sectoral legislation , these supplantent the provisions of the directive . 
many of the proposed amendments are an improvement to the original text and can therefore be accepted by the commission . 
thirdly , amendment no 4 proposes to add , in preamble , a requirement by compelling member states to produce concrete reports with the help of relevant institutions and independent , be they public or private . 
although the commission be in favour of cooperation and common principles , the proposed wording goes against the principle of subsidiarity . 
no problem arising from the formulation has been reported to the commission and the changes weaken the existing provisions . 
amendments nos 39 and 44 propose that the information on dangerous products should be accessible to the public that following a ruling on the banning of reminder or has been taken . they also propose that the exchange of information covered by the professional secrecy should not be possible between the authorities surveillance of markets . 
mr martelli , normally , you cannot express your that at the end of that concludes voting time , but i can give the floor exceptionally and briefly . 
report ( a5-0294 / 2000 ) by mrs eriksson , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , on the draft council decision on the programme concerning the community strategy in terms of equality between men and women ( 2001-2005 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 335 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 ( cns ) ) 
mr president , my question relates to the next vote amendments concerning paragraph 10 , i.e. the armenian genocide . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the responsibility is twofold : there is one of the governments of the member states , but also one of the governments of our mediterranean partners . 
this aid is more than justified by the scale of this tragedy . 
the prohibition of night work for women was one of the few areas in which the social legislation of some countries , in protecting women , were a little more in advance for workers and employees . 
i very much hope that in future , the commission will annually and in time sheet allowing parliament to pursue an analysis and a discussion in more depth . 
so we regret that i voted against this proposal . 
it is important that our products are safe , but we must be exceed certain limits in leading ' extremes . 
today , the agency for kosovo led by a council of direction where representatives of the member states and the commission to dispose everyone to vote and where decisions are taken in the majority of two thirds . 
for serbia , to resolve the problem is that of kosovo . 
the danish social democrats have voted against a report to introduce a system of support for the benefit of producers of pig-meat industry within the eu . 
if that is , as everyone knows , even with a certain openness of the french presidency , the commission rejects these proposals and it seems to be no majority in the council to support them . 
a variation minimal of supply sufficient to cause a crisis situation . 
mr president , the armenian genocide was the first in a long series during this century can be termed century of genocide . 
sweden not being prepared to participate in common military defence , but of the actions of treatment by non-military crises , we cannot support paragraph 15 , where we can " welcomes the will to turkey to contribute to improving the european capacities as part of the common european policy on security and defence ' . 
but apart duty memory should not require any democracy , and which europeans know how difficult it is so difficult and painful , that some european countries because of completed , it is important that such acts of barbarism having destroy lives for reasons ethnic , religious or cultural and which knocking the universal conscience will never occur again . 
that is without doubt , a different debate that we have to be present but , on behalf of the importance that i attaches to turkey , i wished to fault that today . 
peace is not possible because these people are no longer blocked to exercise their right to self-determination . 
i voted for amendment requesting this recognition , today , in order to continue this testimony and to recognise the pain of a people . 
it has taken place at the time of the ottoman empire . 
only the jové peres report wants systematised situation for the existing regional organisations and those which are currently being creation , but he would strengthen it by putting an end to the habit of the commission appealing to the support of technicians coming from the various member states . 
my comments worth course for the issue we are debating today , the representation of the european union within the regional fishing organisations , but it applies to the accession negotiations as well as well as within the world trade organisation . 
my suggestion them together was then supported by mr trittin , president-in-office of the time , and by the european commission , so that the decision of parliament merge three directives and give wrestle to many opposition . 
one example : pvc represents 0.7 % of total volume of waste incinerated . 
i shall conclude , mr president , by saying that the ppe-de group is pleased with the work that has been done during this third reading . 
mr president , i too would like to thank mr blokland for his work on this important issue . 
incinerate it is not recycle . 
the report by mr blokland is now at third reading was to many of elected members for the first time in the committee on the environment in the first test greatness nature allowing learn practice by parliamentarians . 
new limits on emissions trading , stricter , were introduced for the new cement kilns to intended for co-incineration , as has mrs evans . 
whatever the diversity of national situations , we can see that , in all the states of the european union , reduced practically speaking for the coverage mandatory , a greater role systems so-called certificate for disease complementary and in fiercer serologically factors . 
this would be put on a draft for the following points : prohibit the use of information nominative derive from genetic research , a central ; the absence examinations of health prior to the subscription ; the establishment of an obligation to guarantee retire by insurer ; the taken into account co-ordinated to reimburse for people who work and are travelling within the eu and , finally , the establishment of a mechanism to mediate . 
we adopt a more and more positive attitude towards the cross-border care , and the single market is therefore more and more applicable to health care . 
the usa , for example , we often used for ' example " in the free-market economy . however , it would be a fatal error to take them as an example for the policy of health . 
we must not that the eu bindingly rules relating , for example , intelligence therapeutical or to each imposing obligations to be ensured , which ruin the diversity of systems of supplementary sickness insurance which exist today in many countries , and which work on the basis of actuarial principles . 
it proved to afterwards is that there was nevertheless a means of being admitted . 
the same goes for the health of all citizens of our member states and the cohesion of our territories . 
this is not by chance that i am faced with these problems in the context dutch . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , mr rocard urges the commission to define in a green paper the characteristics of a assurance community in the context of legal sickness insurance . 
this is a concern of extremely important . 
mr president , those who , like us , then dedicated throughout their lives to study the social issues will remember that the old manuals fixed generally social protection as a whole package of measures to protect the rule covering risks economically verify , individual or luxembourgers in nature and which individuals - the core family - could deal with themselves . 
so , this means that a significant reflection on the causes of the failure of the public medical assistance is needed . 
the sickness insurance supplementary presupposes a legal system of rights and benefits . 
trying to eliminate discrimination on the basis of antecedents medical , mr rocard would killed the hair-raising to eggs gold . 
the commission will act immediately in the context of its powers , and i shall try to answer conclusions of your report . 
i also hope that the proposals which seek to recognise the importance of the qualifications and integration in working life will also be adopted , because it should take into account the phenomenon ever more important to exclusion and poverty persons staunchly nevertheless a professional activity is paid . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the committee on economic and monetary affairs also takes to congratulate the rapporteur for his report . 
the next item is the recommendations of the commission for a council 's view on the implementation updated stability programmes in germany , finland and the netherlands . 
this has brought us to reflect different to the question : if this stability and growth pact has elapsed following the achievement of the quantitative a figure final determined , or whether that must be introduced other aspects relating to the quality of public finances in the forthcoming programmes . 
our message to the community is therefore that the margin aimed to tax reductions must go hand in hand with strict supervision of the public expenditure . 
i believe that overall , we can consider that this is a positive balance . 
they state risks of overheating in one of the larger countries of europe , which is also the main countries for the european economy , germany . 
mr president , i sincerely thank mr della vedova . 
i feel that these are two parts , on the events of the fight against bse in europe and its on developments in france , that you wanted listen to us today . 
we propose to the european commission and to our partners in the european union to prepare for the extension of europe-wide test , according to scientific recommendations . 
thus , effectiveness and transparency , independence , will the principes-clés guidant clearly assessing the risk food in europe . 
i will return to this later . 
however , it is essential that these tests are being implemented in a much greater scale . 
measures of active surveillance , including on random testing , are in progress in order to prevent the cases of bse to enter the food chain . 
in the type of situation in which we are now , it is always tempting to look to the magic solution , a solution which can be both eliminate risks and to restore confidence . 
i would ask monday to member states if they fear that the weaknesses in the execution of controls , weaknesses which leaving counter to the community legislation on the matter , to be a factor explaining the increase in the current incidence of bse . 
yet it must be possible to combine both prompt action seriously . 
it does that you are conclude quickly . 
and so on requirement is crucial , especially in relation to this problem precise bse . 
our group calls for the immediate ban on meal of meat and bonemeal all animals fattened , as long as the member states will guarantee the establishment of laws concerning the prevention of bse and the strict application of european directives . 
i do not know if it is panacea , commissioner , but on behalf of the precautionary principle , therefore experience imposes and banning now use feeding with the feeding of animals fattened , including the pigs and poultry , the fish . 
i believe that the debate has begun in our house , which consists of seek which , of the council , the commission or of the house , as there is more or less , seems to me somewhat superfluous . 
firstly , as others have said before me , it must practise a systematic screening on all cattle slaughtered intended to feeding europeans . 
in doing shown courage and desiderata , can we reconcile the interests of the health of european economic interest of our producers and we can thus restore confidence . 
they are , i emphasize , any better responsible for the crisis . that is why the eu will express its solidarity with regard to them . 
nor do i wish the arrogance of some member states , which do not personality-centred the tests , are calling for a regulation . 
the european solidarity must play too because our policy has shown incoherence : set-aside land , meal for ruminants , nitrates , pesticides . 
and that is all i should like to hear mr gollnisch said that its parliamentary group has been leading the fight in bse . 
furthermore , we consider it appropriate to make sure that any outbreak of infection from circonscrit and that the export of meat to be prohibited and until their character healthy be proven . 
it is unacceptable that we accept the insufficiently this priority in the political field . 
i am pleased to see that we always considering extending the tests on a voluntary basis . 
but if we généralisons screening tests , if we wreck and bone meal , if we impose killing of the whole herd for one , we must demand sick animal health rules strictly -city on the part of the third countries which are our trading partners and which seek to export towards the community of live animals , of carcasses , for meat preparations . 
the causes of the problem is elsewhere . 
madam president , i am pleased that the commission is finally pronounced with vigour in favour of testing of generally applied . because , as france has just show it : who is now trying to find ! 
so what is prevents then act ? why should whenever a crisis as for box here and that we omission which parliament has no place in the public health forefront of priorities ? 
the link between bse and feeding of animal meal , one way of very little natural to feed animals issues , is clear to everybody now . 
i therefore urge you to the european commission to reach a certain harmonisation in this respect too . 
i would urge the commission to review completely systems set up in france to deal with cases of bse . 
the poison between the system that terminates by destroy . 
it is certainly also difficult to do cohabit , in fact , of national and eu legislation . 
another safeguard was compiled in the system to protect public health and food safety in the form of a legislation which defines the procedures for manufacture and bone meal . 
there has been said that they pouring be very expensive , that they pouring affect many have carcasses , etc . 
for example , the contributor the technology of the oreiller which has caused the death of a migrated in belgium , the use of sédatifs powerful in spain , the transport immigrant amassed within their holds vessels in italy and spain , the tragedy of 58 chinese immigrants found dead in the united kingdom in the port of dover having been stopped at various times within the territory of the community and the widespread use of different means of coercion and intimidation against the immigrants deported . 
this is my commitment and so on answering as i am concerned . 
violence against women utmost many forms one violence within the family , which is the crime of silence , there are also forms of sexual exploitation , trafficking in women , trafficking in human beings . 
mr president , i would say to mr nogueira that , and obviously model that we have defined , monetary policy within the competence of the european central bank takes its decisions depending on criteria established in the treaty . 
mr president , i think for public opinion , it is very important to distinguish between the impact of the internal and external impact . i would like to know if the commission intends now , just before the physical introduction of the euro , to initiate action in order to explain to the people of the difference between internal and external impacts of monetary stability ? 
in the absence of concrete actions of the greek government , it will continue the procedure has been committed . 
the commission 's role is to ensure the existence of a system of monitoring and a measure . 
in the same decision , the commission has promised to review the aid schemes in all member states , in relying on these specific criteria of compatibility approved until 2004 , date on which expire the validity of the permission of the french scheme of support . 
the achievement of a europe which promotes the integration of , according to the terms of the european council in lisbon , requires an effort and act as a whole . 
secondly , in enabling us to take better account experience of stakeholders of people in the field ngos , local community and the social bodies and people who are themselves in a position to exclusion . 
there are many elderly people could confirm this , and all those who work for noon for lower-paid they do not assuring a decent life - i am thinking for example to farm workers . 
one could also act groups of people who do not sufficiently important mastered the language to get a good job . 
the usa , with a market employment more flexible , used the guarantee that poverty is experienced for shorter periods are much more , with a very short time of unemployment . 
in my country , approximately 75 % of people who work and who live below the poverty are women . 
then we must seek to achieve , albeit only in part , this commitment . 
this allocation must be increased in view of developments and the realistic which are needed in the field . 
mr president , i thank and congratulate mrs figueiredo and also the members present today who have reported the opinions of other committees . 
as you suggest , it must also highlight the importance of ngos and between the local and regional players and - as you suggest - better account of their experience in the field . 
we have already agreed that the committee on social protection would meet regularly with the group of contact composed of members of parliament . 
the next item is the report ( a5-0320 / 2000 ) by mrs rothe , on behalf of the committee on industry , external trade , research and energy , on the draft of the european parliament and the council relative to the promotion of electricity produced from renewable energy sources in the internal market electricity ( com ( 2000 ) 279 - c5-0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0114 ( cod ) ) . 
we need now to mandatory targets . 
another important approved by the commission is the problem of the interconnection and access to the network for renewable energies . 
specifically , in my country , spain , these guidelines would be to blame the issuing into the air of 225 billion tonnes of co2 additional now and 2010 and too that we could not achieve the objectives of kyoto . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , we can only applaud the commission proposal to create a framework allowing an increase sensitivity to medium term of the proportion of electricity produced from renewable energy sources within the european union . 
but the threat can always come from compatibility with the internal market . 
waste do not constitute a renewable natural resource , if in product every day more and more . 
that is why the directive acquires a topical intentional . 
having said this , i warmly support this proposal . 
mr president , i would like to thank mrs rothe for her excellent report , which falls at a very peaked in this week where we are debating in the crisis of climate change . 
the promotion of electricity produced from renewable energy sources is an objective that we should support unconditionally . 
adjustments technological radical are essential . 
instead , proposals have been blow for coup and without great coherence . 
and i simply wish to end by mentioning three problems have arisen throughout this debate . 
furthermore , in the sake of consistency , the objectives quoted brought to parameters national should be mandatory because if not , the directive backlash content and substance . 
this is also the case , for the same reason , amendment no 3 , in part , but not amendment no 7 , which is too technical for the text of the proposal . 
but , ladies and gentlemen , we cannot accept the parties which prejudge implementation of the rules on state aids . 
the next item is the report ( a5-0308 / 2001 ) by mrs theorin , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , on the participation of women in peaceful settlement of conflicts ( 2000 / 2025 ( ini ) ] . 
while the peace process formal are almost exclusively reserved to men experiences and declarations gathered in the international show how the participation of women is important when it comes to resolve conflicts and to build peace . 
decisions on execution and implementation of humanitarian action are the responsibility of the cells of crisis ; yet , the powers of women encounter too little attention and recognition . 
these apparently want retain their positions of power in terms of foreign and defence policy and feel that the interests of women may well be defended by men . 
mr president , may i say all the interest that i door to this report , which i must stress the par excellence , the great excellence , even . 
similarly , the financial resources allowing helping women victims of this situation must exist . 
mr president , a great deal has already been said and i do not want to to lapse repetition . 
mr president , commissioner , i would like to start by congratulating mrs theorin for having taken the initiative of this excellent report , which deals with an important issue , but also topical : how an effective participation of women in the talks to resolve conflicts can change the world and transforming the dominant culture of politically-motivated confrontation and violence in the culture of peace , dialogue and of democratic settlement of disputes ? 
that is why i support the demands of the report , after which women no-side should have the right influence diplomatic . 
a report well-researched , profound , rigorous , capable of formulated are key principles with the unclear who is present in article 17 , but bold and time with a great sense practical proposals very necessary . 
for my part , i condamnerais all types of rapes and all forms of slavery ! 
fifthly , the role played by echo , the agency of humanitarian aid to the european commission ; parliament has been invited as to give consideration to the sexospécificités . 
the problem is as follows : millions of people ( primarily women ) plying this work ; there is a very strong request but not the slightest regularise applicable in this area . 
i think we should encourage the member states to regulate the sector via the guidelines on employment , in accordance with what has already been asked in the opinion of parliament relative to these directives . 
the population immigrant generally collective represents an important sector , which requires special measures are , as centres of welcome specialised , responsible for providing assistance necessary . 
this is a question which concerns the member states . 
needs support of the internal have considerably increased in recent years ; yet , this situation has hardly been taken into account life in general and in the rights and obligations attached to working life . 
( the sitting was closed at 12 midnight ) 
( very loud applause ) 
not only must we create a system internal peace and freedom , but it will have to reconcile with the habits of customs and which exist decades within the european community and the eu . 
the first step to go to restructure the constitution of the federal state consists of defining a framework conducive to a democratic dialogue the widest possible about the sort of relationship which unite both republics . 
the results achieved is historic . you , members of the european parliament , which directly represent the people of the member states of the union , you who represent the people of europe , are best placed to understand why the straightforward option of becoming members of the european union is extremely uncertain public in the current federal republic of yugoslavia . 
accepting the sitting . 
this is , as you know , this is a case extremely important and the highest interest to the public and it would be the very least things that we can stop a decision on this subject during that concludes voting time . 
the commission so that it will présenterait a concrete proposal on this matter within six months , and has been kept off . 
there are already at this moment in the eu a practice in the field of access to documents , and we must not forget that our citizens courageous and many member states progressive are fighting for years for a more transparent . 
this report calls yet to be perfected the european parliament that is why i believe that it will need to make further improvements here . 
we are pleased to recover the report in the principle important that we also support resolutely from the committee on budgetary control . 
opportunity has now offered their best to know the things which are not reported on their knowledge by the media and some groupings of interest to ensure that they can participate in more open and democratic debate , which constitutes an so important to secure the trust towards the eu . 
the committee on petitions disagrees with raccourcisse deadlines waiting before the publication of documents . 
as soon as secrets will no longer be justified , the document will of course become accessible to the public . 
i would also stress that every citizen must have the guarantee of access to documents under forms of as much as possible . 
the dogma of political responsibility must not be confused with the rights of citizens have access to documents . 
i would therefore appeal for rapporteurs to eliminate the rules for dealing with of access to documents any reference to honourable members ' rights . furthermore , i wish invite all colleagues to ensure that their interests as it is not on outnumber those of the public . 
in these sectors , access to documents is not guaranteed and it is refused , only to citizens , but even the european parliament which , on the other hand , has not even been officially informed or consulted on the documents fundamental . 
is that there is an important cutting-edge bitterness . 
mr president , let me first of all like to thank mr cashman for his excellent work carried out his report . 
we are dealing with to a very important report , which represents a major part of what we might call the new principle of transparency of the european union . 
( technical problem ) 
this is not only to promote the principle of unlimited access to all documents , but also to achieve open the doors at council meetings , so that the latter should take greater future decisions in the silence and secrecy , which allows then to other to practise the smear cheap we in brussels . 
i would then having to work borne on derogations . 
our people see europe as having no democratic , as a place where takes decisions behind closed doors . 
pursuant to article 255 of the treaty , the proposed regulation must be adopted before 1 may 2001 , i.e. two years after the entry into force of the treaty of amsterdam . 
now , i would like to address a few problems , at the moment , prevents the commission to accept certain amendments . 
as i have said earlier , in some cases , agree , in principle , with the amendments , but we must work together on the technical side and administratively , for example , with the amendments relating to the classification of documents and at register . 
we do not have any written document and i would like that , in future too , the commission diffuse to members , in writing , its recommendations . 
welcome 
we welcome the improved status granted to the watering risks of credit , particularly guarantees which can be offered by small businesses . 
report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) by mr blokland on the joint text , approved by the conciliation committee , a directive the european parliament and the council on the incineration of waste [ c5-0371 / 2000 - 1998 / 0289 ( cod ) ] 
mr president , may i ask the liberal group , and i wish to know as well as the co-rapporteur , to show a little more practice ? 
postpone the vote the november ii therefore corresponds to a given common to ppe-de and pse groups . 
i therefore propose to postpone the vote on the report villiers the november ii . 
i have followed the agenda which have been passed by the public deeds of the plenary and the house there is none decided otherwise . 
as president of the sitting , today , i must say that this ; as a colleague , i can tell you that i agree with you . 
furthermore the negative position adopted during the first stage , when the european parliament in condemned the dangers in britain and the second stage , when the scandal raging in great britain measures have actually been limited to that country , it is to be implemented by means of a programme of direct strict controls and restructuring of the husbandry at european level . 
we therefore wish to draw four great lessons , concerning which we must take into account in future . 
. we have voted in favour of this joint resolution . 
the increase in the number of cases of the variant of cjd in england and the situation in france have imposed on a point of order , with more forcefully , the question of ' mad cow ' ( bse ) . 
for fear of sow panic amongst the citizens , or by a desire to prevent disasters commercial , some governments have not delivered in time information due to the commission or did not proceeded , from the first demonstration phenomena of dangerous , in blockade immediately the consumption of products in question and bans their exports . 
farmers cannot deal with this crisis alone : a plan to accompany the husbandry is to put in place as well as measures to reconquer the confidence of consumers . 
the failure of all european institutions ( council , commission and parliament ) to define a community policy relevant responds to the needs of security of the member states most directly concerned will indeed ask these hierarchy between the constraints of the single market and the requirements of health and safety of our peoples . 
we have achieved , after many discussions with the council , satisfaction on several points . 
the days of landfill affects today to its close , these must surrender the place to technologies more beneficial to the environment . 
i should like to take part in the process entities social groups , not least sensitive issues covered by the programme ; 
indeed , if we should congratulate the feedback on growth and to reduce unemployment , we must not overshadow the persistence , if not , worsen inequalities ! 
i agree that the rapporteur is right when he calls for greater involvement of the public authorities , the social partners and the civil society in any measures taken to defeat poverty and social exclusion . 
the ' poor workers ' , which the majority are women , employees in part-time , on cheap in the insecurity and the most absolute coincide , the retinue destitution that the official speeches on the resumption ignorant magnificently . 
three years ago , prime minister has created unit of social exclusion , which coordinates the action government for reducing the social exclusion in framing identical solutions to problems as nature . 
this , at this moment to facilities comprising more than 60 rotors which cover a surface area equivalent to thousands of land of football . 
dependency , which is approximately 50 % for the entire union , risks to 70 % by 2020 in the absence of developing renewables . 
it goes without saying that the use of nuclear energy and the storage of radioactive waste must meet the departmental security more modern and more effective . 
we must therefore seek an energy source already present in nature , but which has remained explored as long as no one has developed the technology for one extract . 
the preparation asem 4 should be the opportunity of affirming the democratic requirement , on the one hand , by ensuring information and the speech of democratically elected and the civil entailing - including the establishment of a social forum - on the other hand , in taking full account social rights , environmental and human beings . 
recently , this parliament has been the victim of certain misunderstandings and even some criticisms . 
we have noted that it faced with the same misadventures that the european parliament in its infancy , he had had batailler and continued to continue to get more powers , more resources , more presence and to assert its representativeness . 
parliament to central america , like the european parliament , must gain in credibility in prestige , and in legitimacy in relying on the activities of its political groups , because life parties is , or at least should be , the faithful reflection of companies that they represent . 
as regards human rights , we support , since 1990 cooperation programmes in favour of respect for human rights through education awareness in this area . 
( b5-0855 / 2000 ) by mr van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group ; 
and extreme confusion which has characterised the electoral context in recent weeks in côte d ' ivoire , yet so far economic model , is symptomatic of a country in crisis , social and economic crisis , désespérance by it , chaos policy . 
the political leaders , military and religious must in particular to allow a national reconciliation . 
we need and throughout the debate on the ivoirité , this debate fumeux to name and the establishment of national preference to combat in our own countries , including the logical and ultimate is the establishment of the ethnic cleansing , either totally fought , and 37-year-old any reference connotations or on the ivoirité in the constitution côte . 
he also has supported the revision of the constitution , which is intended to exclude its principal opponent , watara , because of the fact that his parents were not all two ivorian . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , even if unlike other states of western and central africa , the ivoire was formerly haven of stability and democracy , this state is experiencing nevertheless long tension and ethnic and religious . it has also seen abuses of power from the last government in office under president bédié , which has led to power violently taken by the military . 
we condemn the ethnic violence and especially politicians whose demagogy ago led . 
the next item is the joint debate on the following motions for resolutions : 
the meeting to come between the eu and the loser in laos in december we offer the ideal opportunity to demonstrate that we denounce in force this regime . 
i am , incidentally , however sure that our own ministers régleraient then the situation . 
the loser proved to be , in every sense of the word , one of paper tiger in its failure to do given the terrible events in burma . 
the junta has said that she had intended to try to destroy the whole party . 
its past is busy and , of course , the situation is difficult . 
these improvements lenient - that one should certainly not to the author of the amendments by the socialist group , mr sakellariou - have taken place in recent years and have led to a situation which is certainly more tragic , but which is still disastrous and which is not in any case not match up to the challenges which are those in vietnam in today . 
mr swoboda , the european parliament is an institution flexible and effective . 
it would nevertheless positive that hanoi , the american president will not only will concentrate on the strengthening of the reciprocal cooperation , but the short-run precisely dependent on firm promises , on the part of the vietnam , to improve the situation radically wretched with any prevailing in the field of human rights . 
the next item is the council and the commission to protest strongly against these infringements of the freedom of religion and by the vietnamese authorities . 
similarly , the process permitted the signing a cooperation agreement between the commission vietnam in 1995 . 
elements that we have introduced were naturally included this motion for a resolution . 
i entirely agree with the fact that we must their rescued , but we are aiderions even better by changing the situation which is the cause of their misery and that of countless other people around the world . 
the themes which we are concern the medium and long term . 
mr president , commissioner , the floods have hit in recent weeks various parts of the north of italy , and other european countries - spain , great britain , ireland and france - again raises two problems in this parliament that of the intervention emergency exceptional to provide aid to help the people communities and businesses involved , and that of a policy in the long term , to prevent a repeat of natural disasters of this scale . 
that is the transport sector which policymaking are still the most important , given its steady development - more 38 % , according to forecasts , at the next decade . 
the debate is closed . 
this is perhaps one of well-established customs and this parliament , but i feel it extremely difficult to allow believe that the european parliamentary institution takes commitments on a subject as navigate , intends entrust a mission celle-là as the european commission and also with a low turnout . 
( parliament rejected the request ) 
the social and economic policy of the eu , which has led to impair purchasing power on workers and opportunities for everything which relates to the payment of contributions , attached to the appearance of new diseases and to the immunity of pharmaceutical companies , have caused a sensitive increase costs of the health . 
for the rest , a very broad scope is thus receptive to insurers private , only to the condition that they do not selected ( initially ) the patients premiums assurance by pathologists . 
anyone who gets no and no spending is not much money to do more . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am very pleased to be able to speak in the presence of a group of visitors from my constituency beautiful and i welcome gratitude to him . 
this presupposes thing we establishments to dispose of sufficient time to prepare themselves to new rules . 
the report is state consensus a growing lease emphasized the failure of existing legislation to take into account the developments of the financial sector of 10 years . 
we say yes greater account is taken technologies softening of risk and we say yes to an extension of the basic principles of developed by the basel committee will . 
similarly , we welcome the important contribution to this report to the whole process . 
finally , and this is a key point , we are very conscious of the need to respect the institutional equilibrium established in the treaty . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . 
in conclusion , let me , mr president , i take this opportunity to congratulate mr söderman , to congratulate the work he has done in the fight against maladministration and , therefore , for a better closer european citizens and the lives of the community institutions . 
mr president , the european parliament has always maintained , could be very positive and assent to the tradition which has been one of the public office in the nordic countries , that there had strengthen and consolidate the position of the ombudsman . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . 
after all , for access to documentation is a fundamental and civil law no document that is more important for a candidate for convenant on its examinations . 
it seemed reasonable that a candidate able to have access to its homework corrected , since access to documents is a fundamental right , recognised by the way for the charter of fundamental rights that we have recently adopted this week . 
and that is the way it should go . 
for example be followed by all the other institutions and bodies , as the committee on petitions has recommended . 
the people of the european union should have a positive impression that when they are faced with the institutions of the community . 
the new and , in the circumstances , is to follow the best practices and to avoid anything that , after our experiences hauliers , its credibility in the member states . 
with regard to the other institutions , so that they depends to adopt the procedures described in this report or in the requests of the ombudsman . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
if they have prevented by a disaster unavoidable , it is a non-observance of democracy . however , if they do not give the trouble to come , they do not deserve to participate in the vote . 
the criteria caution increased adopted are justified , but it must also look at other aspects of this issue , in particular the coefficient of solvency , which is a parameter of weighting for type of compensation which gives a loosely risk of a real credit should be active in a bank . 
establishment provisional european police college ( cep ) 
this police cooperation is fundamental to achieve the great objective which consists of citizens of europe to ensure a high level of safety in inside the european area of freedom , security and justice . 
enlargement of the european union , by extending the area of free movement of citizens , must be accompanied by additional measures and security peaceful co-existence between the member states . 
that , so far as i see , the conditions in prisons french and portuguese are very different . 
therefore , if you want a common standards , you will first have to be defined , otherwise , you will be facing a training which will take aspects are the most varied . 
but , thanks to the work of mr posselt , it is finally provided that the training of staff police must also understand that human rights and the defence , as is currently very adapted the suggestion to set up a college of police virtual which exploiterait possibilities for the internet . 
but we are here in strasbourg , in a parliament virtually barren , to hear something almost incredible . 
this is a good idea in the eu , when people are benefiting from the freedom of movement and trade as well as the right to be resettled , where travellers from scotland can make themselves in sicily or in greece , it is only logical may be expected to develop a common system to maintain the rule of law . 
in the netherlands , the police is alerted to the dédramatisation conflicts and tolerance repressive , within the desquelles existence of sous-cultures , ethnic minorities , utilization of churches as refuges for people without status of legal residence organization and protests policies are regarded as a normal social phenomena . 
those who believe in the right solutions that they defend must not be afraid of the tempering with solutions for others . 
i hope that this college will be a point of departure for the future . 
this is a good illustration of what are beginning to appoint today under the name of europe as networks , a europe which put nations into direct contact , without fuelling of superstructures unnecessary . 
the majority of cases of abduction of children are dealt with effectively and an appropriate way by the central authorities in all member states . 
it is therefore remedy this omission for reasons of fairness , a realistic response to the development sociologique and equal rights and obligations of all the citizens of the european union . 
the meantime , we support this measure and we shall be happy to vote in favour . 
because of our sympathy for the purpose asked , we subscribe to the measures proposed . 
the visit of the day clearly concerns people who are often the turn of the world to see a child . 
catch from the european parliament in the field , as well as of the court of justice of the european communities , confirms this approach by the commission . 
i know fifa has already played the clock and has waited too long before answering the statement formally to the commission issued in 1998 . 
it is quite natural that european union to be represented in the future of the wada by the commissioner responsible for foreign sports . 
britain 's decision to apply a tax on hauliers no british 
it is clear that ireland represents a very small market , but an open market . however , much of what we buy comes from the united kingdom . 
in conclusion , this debate in parliament and premature , but i welcome the fact and the declaration of commissioner vitorino which clearly indicates that the british government has the right to introduce a system of euro-vignette provided to respect the rules and regulations in force . 
mr president , contributions and tolls is of course sensitive issues and i can confirm this in the case of austria where we are debating continuously on this issue and continually seeking solutions for a optimisation of road traffic . 
this system is not discriminates against lorry drivers or other countries of europe for the british drivers . 
this routier-là pays more reason for its stickers , except if there is payment special perchlorethene solely on a basis . 
the 22 november , i.e. the same day of 25e anniversary of the icing king juan carlos , which paved the way to democracy in spain , one of the de-flag devices of this democracy has , in turn , to pay their lives her belief in freedom , in tolerance and respect for the other . 
you are meltdown thus every anxious . 
the position of the european union in these negotiations has focused on the preservation of the environmental integrity of the kyoto protocol in the fields of changing the use of land and forestry , on the question of ' sinks absorb aid ' , on the link between mechanism kyoto and actions at national level , well-known terms , and ' supplémentarité ' , and on the compliance . 
prepare for this new part-session , the eu should not reopen discussions on all the questions , but will focus on priority issues , particularly on the mechanisms of ' sinks absorb aid ' , on the ' supplémentarité ' and on a system of implementation of conformity solid . 
mr prescott now moved under the heading of float and we do not know how long it will remain afloat . 
my final point : i think it is good that the commission has remained firm on the issue of reducing emissions , in particular because it is extremely difficult to measure accurately the extent of the reduction in off-target . 
nuclear energy does not have any chance to make a come-back . 
but more is , in bonn , in may 2001 , by introducing conditions of equality . 
it should finish by a compromise at the conference in bonn which will take place in may 2001 . 
the challenge we have to take up , with regard to climate change , is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges facing us for the 21st century , if we all want a world where i live in the future . 
the same applies to the inclusion of by-election of carbon wells , such as the planting of forests overtime . 
the conference of the hague is going to continue , and you announced , commissioner , the spring of next year in bonn . 
madam president , thank you , commissioner wallström , for your intervention . 
if there is an area where there were no disunity , this is about the relationship between the european parliament delegation and the commission . 
we cannot afford not to reach agreement at the forthcoming meeting of the cop vi . 
we were very constructive and negotiated it until the last minute of conversations in the hague . 
you have the floor , mr president-in-office of the council . 
on the coordination of social security schemes , taxation , on issues of visas , asylum and immigration , on the trade negotiations in the field of services - very important subject - , some countries still have serious problems . 
i should add that the distribution of seats in the european parliament has not yet been discussed in agreement . 
reach an agreement which will enable the union to operate after new accessions , all those who are preparing actively at this time , is a challenge for the future of the union and in the enlarged union . 
your president to course invited . 
it will be sent , and hopefully will , of course , essence in nice . 
so you will see that the discussions will be a busy in nice . 
in an eu 27 or more member states , the requirement of unanimity will simply the effect of paralyse the progress in one area where it will be maintained . 
you mentioned the issue of parliament 's codecision . 
( applause ) 
this challenge is the reunification of our old continent . this challenge is enlargement unprecedented in scale and term here as well nice must be prepared . 
madam president , the most important objective of nice is enlargement of the european union and the preparation of the union to expansion . 
madam president , mr president-in-office , mr prodi , until now , it cannot be said that the fifteen will be covered glory . 
this method is not good . 
the proposals are now being presented with a view to allow decisions majority can be taken in 49 areas . 
the decisions to the majority supprimeront right of veto granted to parliamentary democracies of the member states , but that will certainly not the eu a parliamentary democracy . 
mr president , europe needs to be the leads , it needs clarity choice , decisiveness . 
the principle of blackmail to the proclamation do not seem acceptable eye on the conclusions of the european council in biarritz , although it was informally . 
yes , we feel that the conclusions of nice will include a statement inviting the commission to produce a framework in this area . 
i am csp on the treaty of nice when i would have seen the results , but i am train to live experience is somewhat schizophrenic in unpleasantly discussions today . 
in amsterdam , and they have been destabilizing , and the politicians must once again to arise in nice . 
if the difference between large and small countries is too important to the council , i am afraid that the european union is passing , that , in the next few years , a serious crisis of legitimacy , since the small countries should feel themselves more home and that they will have afraid are no longer able to defend their identity . 
the french president and prime minister seem more concerned with their own future policy by means of europe . 
the fact integrate the text in the treaty and that this be subscribe to the political could provide the there are great problems with legal interpretation . 
the other hand , i would stress the importance of equip our europe is strong institutions a counterweight to an empty institutional million acceleration that took place through economic with the euro . 
the proclaimed targets of this review involve create efficient institutions that are now retraining in an enlarged europe and at the same time , to reduce the democratic deficit , which , certainly , exists . 
but it is also about the restructuring of the 133 committee itself : making it more responsible , in ensuring that its agenda and its conclusions are available and that its composition be wide and open . 
mr president , when i say that the burning questions dealt with in nice will not disappear if they are the object to any agreement at the summit , i shall addressed not only of the council of ministers but also to all the governments of member states . 
the operation of the codecision procedure in the last two years has shown that this procedure works well . 
also voluntariness , that the time being , it should already be admitted that the area of trade policy be included in the extension of qualified majority . 
86-year-old seven years , it was forced to flee their country is facing advance of the red army , are disorientate in the gulfs avoid fire of aircraft republics . 
our colleague vigo just to rightly the charter . 
we cannot expect more from him . 
the agreement to be precise a daily basis are certainly not the lowest common denominator , it is unfortunately only a small first , a tiny lowest common denominator . 
mr president , i should like , first parliamentarians because i find this debate high quality . 
so this is not at all to the proclaim , this is not a problem of transparency . 
indeed , the system of rotation egalitarian also concerns the large countries which , at any given time , could not have a commissioner , like any other . 
i believe that parliament will be able to see that the eu is endowed with institutional mechanisms improved which should allow him to address the following the development of this european union which unites us all . 
the vote will take place tomorrow . 
mr president , i wish to associate myself with the statement of our colleague mr van orden . 
i am totally opposed to what with that threatens a minister invited , fut-il turkish . 
then we must , here in this house of european democracy , to guarantee the safety of all our guests and all those who penetrate under our roof . 
the minister of health , the pretext that the pellets are not harmful and under the slogan ' soignons cancer by the marijuana said that undermined human dignity in asking the liberalisation of the drugs . 
that is the least poor way , not to say a slap , for our parliament , and unless we considered that meps should have nothing to say on human rights , when they come to vote in a very large majority on the charter of fundamental rights , they will be replaced forum for the european union where , last year , there were many for dialogue with the ngos and the institutions . 
we have said enough about this . 
in truth , the european parliament , as does the commission , was in my opinion , already before amsterdam , which would be ideal of a vice-president of the commission which endosserait double the role of responsibly in foreign policy and of high representative accepting responsibility and an obligation under special vis-à-vis the council . 
as the turbulent before the summit in feira in voting for a resolution on 15 june , the european parliament , tomorrow , should vote for a text which summarises its position , on the eve of the council in nice . 
the development of a european security policy and defence policy is an important revival of the european project and therefore requires the clarification of the existing institutional framework . 
in nice , the european council should adopt several decisions , which i quote now . 
for the first debate , at the beginning of 2003 , the commission establish a scoreboard is , country by country , for the budget year , over which show the state of commitments , of avoidance and the amounts in outstanding for the main programmes financed by the community budget and by the edf . 
we have worked well on the issue of regional cooperation , notion which provoquait some resistance on the part of the countries of this region which do not want to réenfermés in a past which they are spent , and i think i can say that , thanks to this summit , they have understood it just a contradiction between regional cooperation and their progress , their approximation in relation to the european union , particularly through the process of stabilisation and association which has been confirmed and specified on this occasion . 
there had , before , a summit with india , under the portuguese presidency and a ministerial meeting will take place with asean 
this is not a reason for discouraged . 
get recalls the variety : humanitarian aid , disposing of third-country nationals , prevention of conflicts , but also division by the strength of belligerent parties . 
it is based , of course , on the independence decisions within the european union and on the recognition of the voluntary nature and policy commitments . 
it has personnifié more than anyone resolving the conflict in one part of the world which i know very well and has received recognition world justified for his efforts . 
i find quite extraordinary the coverage of which benefited the creation of this force in the country i know best . 
i would like to thank mrs lalumière for having emphasised the report on the prevention of conflicts that the commission is preparing with the high representative in view of the european council in nice . 
thank you very much , commissioner patten . 
this will , in my view , the real test for the european union . 
any impatient are saying that the machine bureaucracy of the union is not a slow inconceivable . 
but the citizens , too , should have access to information and documents in a very broad as possible . 
the current proposals sustain vague entirely total as to what should be this role . 
with a european flag on your car , you pop everywhere , scrounge entirely cinderella camps and refugees . 
why , mr president , europe must , in my view , themselves decide to act now . 
if we in europe , we do not manage to play , regardless of the united states , an influential role in the solution to this conflict , there will also be expected nothing gives us confidence as a mediators in other hotbeds . 
that said , your personal commitment does not replace the democratic legitimacy of the common european policy on security and defence . 
there are some points of mrs lalumière 's report that i cannot accept . in the final vote tomorrow , i will vote against the report . 
the non-exploitation of this wide range of instruments prevention of crises in reveal the long-term error and also explanations council according to which the resolutions have already been adopted and things follow their underway , do not suffice ! 
as you will understand , we are voting against the two reports and we are committed to the unite all our energies against the policy that they express ... 
thirdly , as olaf palm has had a day suggested , we must create a corridor nuclear-free of the baltic to the black sea . 
i should like to congratulate mrs lalumière on her report . 
the brok report also mentions the office of high representative for the cfsp . 
i regret the attitude of some of my colleagues - mr van orden and others - because i believe that my counterparts originated from the other shore of the irish sea have enormously to make this issue : the tradition , experience and practice . 
the european parliament , in cooperation with the national parliaments , represents for us to instance the most useful to that effect . 
i believe that we learn from these recent events we liberalizers when will we accept the need to draw up a common european defence and to implement the capacities are pre-requisites , which represents the view that a component equally crucial to european integration and that is the single currency . 
i also feel that combination between these different means of a property , is a possibility , specifically the european union and that the work we have before us , if this policy is progressing and consolidated , that is to develop a genuine european culture of prevention and treatment of conflicts . 
i think that a positive dialogue is going to develop . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am , the resignation of the commission , in march 1999 , has revealed the need to reform its structures and methods of working . 
the reform , if it could be devised by the high , must be clear vulnerable to unions , for all staff , and that all staff indeed be associated with this whole approach . 
this provision will require more time , but it is inevitable and essential for the reform . 
the reform of the commission is an act of great importance for the future of our institutions . 
in drawing my report , i have just studying the white paper , but also the second report of the committee of independent experts and the resolution adopted by this parliament on 19 january , proposed by michiel van hulten , on the work thereof committee of experts . 
the court of auditors says in its opinion that it does not opposed to the removal of visa beforehand , as far as this method to be replaced by other procedures which provide guarantees , at least -city , and the different players of the speaker financially can be involved . 
in any place , the large organisations becoming more open , more transparent ; they resort to new forms of utilisation technologies information ; they are deviate from traditional forms of vertical organisation and provide for exchange of information , both internally and with organizations . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , in spite of its scope , the content of the white paper presented by commissioner kinnock raises no not directly from the institutional issue . 
we have also discussed here this afternoon during the debate on the common foreign policy . 
finally , it should deal with the thorny issue of the proposal to give early retirement . 
the decentralisation of financial control within each dg is an important step but this will only be properly trained personnel is , if the available resources are adequate and whether the responsibility frameworks hiérarchiques is used adequately . 
we must give to the institution and its director of genuine opportunities to achieve the best possible management . 
with regard to the disciplinary procedure , we see here too many promises , but so far , no clear rule , any clear statement on how these rules must be applied and even the issue of external policy - is still not definitively resolved . 
this transformation is indeed needed to serve god manner honestly and cannot be guided by rules . 
as for any new changes as situations established , it is obvious that must be careful . 
however , we withdraw amendment no 6 and charming split votes on the last part of amendment no 15 because we do not think the system having underway within the ecb corresponds to the situation . 
during my last mandate in this parliament , the president of the commission was jacques delors and it toiled beside the commissioner brittan and before him , the commissioner cockfield . 
mr president , commissioners , ladies and gentlemen , that is indeed expectation so that we alongside this reform . 
issues such as bse , the explosion in the price of oil and the effect of greenhouse gases contain a strong european dimension . 
the public must also have the feeling that the commission is really accessible and transparent . 
the european parliament , the reform is a crucial issue on which it can weight as a budgetary authority and legislative . 
it sets a significant number of clear procedures to enable an official , by various channels , to condemn the shortcomings potential within the institution which is employs or outside of it . 
therefore , i am sure that we will have the pleasure to listen to you in the future . 
allow me , mr garriga polledo , you out as soon as the categories of financial perspectives are kept . 
the reform must be supported and accepted by the commission staff . 
it seems that reform cosmetically at this time of profound change . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i should like to stress the quality of the report the initiative of mrs sauquillo relating to the reform of the commission and its impact on the efficiency of relations between the european union and the developing countries . 
we want greater responsibility . 
before assistance with projects , we must try to remove all the causes of exploitation , and in seeking in pursuing those have benefited , which have abused people who live in need . 
that is precisely because mr nielson with fair towards this collegiate responsibility that it pushes undoubtedly proposal this evening . 
it seems even more serious than in the commission proposal , the separation territorial be maintained . 
in 2001 there are financial responsibility will be déconcentrées towards 22 delegations , 15 delegations additional benefit of an updating of their plant workstations and 40 additional posts of regulations will be attributed to external services . 
maritime safety 
but the erika , as ievoli sun , were not ships french . 
in fact , this subject occupying the summit of the agenda of the commission since the sinking fatal erika 11 months ago . 
we hope that the council ' transport " of 21 december deliver its stone of the building of the determination of common institutions to really improve maritime safety , in adopting a common position on all three texts . we expect this to be the case . 
i believe that this has not yet , but we must ensure that this agreement will be implemented . 
i understand and welcomes the concern of the minister that we in ridiculing as soon as possible with these two reports , and therefore i judge has priori positive his proposal of what we are debating this issue in december . 
all this has allowed us to draw up a parliamentary report on the amendment of the directive which proposes improvements of various aspects leading to the reinforcement of classification , as a means and valid instrument to guarantee the safety of maritime traffic . 
however , the legacy of the years when waste were simply dumped is now up to our days and sometimes tantamount to haunt us , often with serious consequences . 
to this end , the publication of information is essential because it is a means vital for the public to get intelligence , as it is , for example , the establishment of an emergency telephone numbers . 
i expect much of the second series of proposals and the creation of a european agency for maritime safety . 
your thinking seems respectable , but we can only negotiate to results which have been examined in the council . 
we know that the control on port state great was not the case of maritime safety . we know that all of classification societies do not market-based their roadworthiness of proper way serious , but rather with hurried . 
should not be that the credibility that we are trying to regain be jeopardised by mistreatment of machinations from the commission . 
and there are faced with these responsibilities must remain irrelevant in our waters and of our ports . 
the watts report tightens measures against ships by presenting grave risks or flags of convenience , without abolishing these flags . 
i am pleased nevertheless that the proposals of the commission have listed the main requests made by elected representatives of the french coastline : the ban on single-hull oil tankers , strengthening controls ports , and assessment of classification societies . 
i also share his idea incentive in sight to impose the fitting of recorder . 
the guarantees of navigability a vessel require significant measures with regard to societies responsible and inspection , as has been said . 
in short non-compulsory measures are to induce the safety level wished . that is bad for men . 
everybody is talking about and it is fully justified that the 25 % today required for this control by the state of port have yet to be achieved . 
at the moment it is of mere compromise that some people do calculations forecast pretty difficult to achieve it . 
with regard to classification society , let me take this opportunity to - this is also my task - stress one important factor : the theme of the current discussion seem to bear the responsibility . 
as regards port controls , we must make the regulation on harder . 
the leniency towards big business is of the sign that they are more powerful than the elected institutions . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the question about the safety of ships , and therefore the safety of people and environmental protection , is certainly a very important seriousness . 
the reports which have been tabled in that direction . 
we are in agreement with the imposition of a threshold for the damage personal or the deaths and the material damage , in leaving the member states the opportunity to meet these limits . 
new technology and the improvements in the design of vessels play a decisive role in this area too . 
need we move towards a consensus on the highest possible level of regulation and of maritime safety . 
i am pleased to announce that the commission will support many of the amendments submitted in the framework of these three reports . 
the commission can accept amendments nos 6 , 7 and 8 but it can only partly accept amendment no 1 . 
imo should normally formally adopt the timetable of decommissioning at its meeting in april . 
the task of the commission for its part to confirm that the classification society continues to respond to the quality criteria set by the directive ; the commission carries out an evaluation of performance classification societies . 
the commission appreciate the support spoke in favour of the limit initial . 
once again , this accident demonstrates the urgent to adopt community measures reinforced , prevention and rehabilitation , for the protection of our seas . 
mr turco , have clearly heard your message and i will colonise . 
it is a matter of principle . positive with regard to the other two reports , in other words the report on classification societies and the report on port controls , there are different points of view , and parliament is anyone who has the most rigorous approach on most issues . 
madam president , i would submit a proposal with a view to changing the amendment in this respect , and this also begins with these words : ' urges rebus this respect , premier stewardship and premier commission " . 
report ( a5-0329 / 2000 ) by mr pomés ruiz , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the white paper on reform of the commission ( the aspects which concern the committee on budgetary control ) ( com ( 2000 ) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / 2215 ( cos ) ) 
mckenna report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) 
the unaccountability of capital is reinforced by the privatisation of classification societies , happened in the hands of shipowners , and by the non-existence of a genuine control on the part of the national authorities , or by the complicity of recent . 
that is why it is good that the rapporteurs watts vachetta , and these could have a piétrasanta tried to fill the gaps juridical again in the commission proposal . 
the responsibility in the implementation of these measures are based on the member states . 
the oil companies monocoque must not to steer here if , after all , they disappear after 2005 , 2010 or 2015 . 
however , hatzidakis made proposals which restrict those of the commission . 
the promotion regulations stricter at international level must remain a fundamental objective of our policy of maritime safety . 
it is particularly important to emphasize that the principle of all , to pay the polluter must be fully implemented . 
this community action must be coupled with rekindling of imo which , endowed with a real power of police to apply the ism code , would be an efficient image and europol . 
as the costs of the abuse of rules will be lower those on respect for these companies , désireuses illustration of a maximum benefit voudront continue to do the wrong choices . 
preparation of the council in nice 
instead firing human rights and social rights towards the top , the charter facilitate operations are intended to draw the downwards . 
unfortunately , this concept is my view absent motions for resolutions . 
if , as many , i have sometimes regretted that the prime minister , lionel jospin , can be slightly expressed during this six-month period ' for because of cohabitation ' , i know the strong impetus which it has data permanently to its ministers and i want to say . 
with regard to the social sphere , the proposals are very timid and furnish nor effective content to the commitments made at the summit in lisbon , specifically the need to strengthen the economic and social cohesion . 
that is why any decisions on the development of the eu should be taken if it risks do away with the citizens of europe . 
the british want reform whereby europe more responsible and more effective . 
this text takes pretext of future ( which is increasingly distant ) enlargement asking for strengthening system already at an end inspiration . 
now , the ignite burns do not only between the ' big ' and ' small ' , it burns also between the ' big ' . 
. ( sv ) we consider welcome this report , which refers to many trends prerequisites for the development of the common foreign and security policy , and i support . 
like every year , this report ritual of the european parliament , devoted in principle on annual assessment of the cfsp , restarts in fact the method well-known lifeless which consist of landslides , from a breach of federalist nature , obtained in a given area , to seek to steadily widening , disregarding the treated as decisions of the european councils . 
in prattling with me , it has heard that there is train organizing a military force member states of europe , a force ready to intervene to maintain peace in europe and its piece . 
the other hand , it falls to the european parliament define capacity which should disposal an intervention force of european industry if , in that context , the capacity for action must be sea and air . 
conflicts which scandals in future will not be resolved by military intervention , but with a policy aimed at the economic and ecological , social justice . 
we are radically opposed to this european army , and nato , and to our own national army . 
the formulations concerning , for example , on the cfsp and nato , seem to me to go much too far , where the use threatens the ' employment ' as the strength of pressure in the actions of conflict prevention , which lends credence directly to the charter of nations . 
ten years after the upheavals which have shaken europe of the european union the european project ' peace ' talk about these reports represents , in our opinion , the wrong signal launched accession countries . 
only six of these subparagraphs contain passages of tackling the subject . 
unfortunately , one of the objectives be quite clear that we override the national laws on abortion or even condemn or to eliminate religious traditions opposed to abortion . 
if they were in well-informed , tens of thousands of women involved capita eu would probably be happy to hear that dealing with today on a regulation on working conditions at home in the informal economy . 
mrs smet is proposed that the bindingly a european definition of domestic work . 
needs in domestic work must be taken into account when drawing up legislation relating to employment . 
they have paid their pension contributions to the various national governments , which have done away speedy examination as astute prestidigitateurs . 
finally , the group union for europe of nations remind it emphatically that the citizens of the european union expect more than ever that measures for the reform and the h-0872 are translated by the taken into account the diversity of opinion belief that this is expressed in our countries . 
as regards human resources , the merit of agents and greater transparency in terms of personnel policy in general must become on these strengths of the new administrative reform . 
with this first statement of vote , i would like to emphasise and emphasise that our parliament has unfortunately not all the powers that it should have . 
i wish to conclude an example is point of order . 
indeed , mr barón crespo , news are contradictory . 
this is not a wish of the socialist group . 
that is precisely why we are experiencing difficulties : this is an important summit and everything that we cat-and-mouse we post-barcelona . 
i must point out that the commission will meet tomorrow afternoon so , above all , to seek to well understand the conclusions of the intergovernmental conference . 
( parliament agreed to this proposal ) 
i am grateful to accommodate this request favourably . 
i should like to condemn the fact reads : a few days ago , one of those who obeying a strike starving in supporting the prisoners to was murdered in rotterdam by a rearrested of ' grey wolves ' . 
this would clearly not been unnecessary if the council had granted in june last deserves greater attention - or its attention , quite simply - to our recommendation for the first reading and the commission 's amended proposal will abondait in our view . 
thirdly , we must decide whether the measures that we approve contribute effectively to improve the operation of the internal market if they are proportionate to the desired objective . 
the second concern , for strictly legal nature , we are very incités to pay even closer the inter-dependency between harmonization of the market and health protection , in following scrupulously indications and stemming statement on the basis desquels the court of justice has recently implemented the directive on advertising ; only one reading picture of these motives can bring to the conclusion that these two aspects are incompatible . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , 80 fatal cases of the new variant of cjd in europe and europe , its council of ministers , the commission , parliament decides and ban meal and the non-entrée of bullocks of aged over 30 months in the food chain without prior test . 
we feel it is right that article 95 constitutes the legal basis of this directive , with article 133 , that the committee on environment , public health and consumer protection now proposed in amendment no 1 . 
according to the court , a total ban on tobacco advertising cannot be justified on behalf of the proper functioning of the internal market . 
as regards indications such as ' with low tar content in ' , ' mild ' and ' light ' , i remain convinced that they are deceptive and i am therefore opposed to amendments nos 10 and thirties . 
i also speak of obligations in the treaties . 
the rapporteur , mr maaten , has proposed , with common sense , to strengthen this legal basis with a reference to a different article , article 133 concerning the external trade , and has also proposed a number of changes of certain articles with a view to avoid that this directive should be contested by virtue of the case-law established by the judgment of the court of justice . 
i regret that , within the committee on legal affairs and the internal market , some of these could have a position taken by stating that the rejection of the court of justice on banning the advertising of tobacco products dashes in some way this directive . 
indeed , as a member of the committee on environment , public health and consumer protection , i had attention firmly tempted by various groups of pressure on the need to regulate more strictly the presentation and sale of tobacco products in europe . 
however , and this is where the straw , i see this directive no provision to ban tobacco cultivation within the community even as in countries like greece cultivated tobacco is so strong that with under this directive , it would criminal is used as an production . 
what we should also like to thank mr byrne for the clarity with which he has explained the legal basis . 
more than half a million people die needlessly each year in the eu consequences of smoking , and this number is bound to increase if we do not take action now . 
in my view , this legal basis we should not be the case either , that is why it is justified and unions , the businesses and my colleagues , to conjure subject to the loss of jobs . 
i would like to see adopt option warning for the photographs , the clauses specifying the advertising of lists of ingredients research at european level , measures to promote health to help the children do not smoke and not to be dependent on tobacco , of tar , nicotine and the commission . 
this willingness to compromise was also present within the committee on environment , public health and consumer protection . 
according to my reading of the amendment exemption would apply to article 3 , namely the eu-manufactured tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide of . 
but since the general nature of the directive , we cannot separate the one hand , and we must therefore be severity everywhere . 
the creation of the warnings on the size limit for some large packets would be a balanced solution . 
finally , in total 54 amendments have been submitted in the report , and it is my pleasure to inform you that the commission can accept , 33 , either totally or partially . 
the main argument in favour of these amendments and a report at the end of a five-year period affects really expansion of the european union , which , in the process of nice , is particularly relevant and appropriate . 
summertime seems ultimately go hand in hand with an increased quality of life , the positive effects of the period of summertime the burying largely on the disturbances passengers associated with the same change . 
summertime are not based on the touchstone to stumble remains , essential for our common europe . 
a single control by the commission after five years is adequate . 
we must also take account of the requirements which are facing producers computers and electronic chronotachographs , so that timetables for agendas . 
madam president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the medical research , necessary for patients , must be approved quick unbureaucratic and , in ensuring nevertheless strictly respect the limits ethical and in protecting the maximum participants in a clinical trial misuse . 
this is an important distinction that we do in our report . 
thus , even if some points of disagreement with the council remain , i should like to point out that result that we are trying to get through the adoption of this directive , is the fruit of a long and fruitful work compromises made by mr liese , our rapporteur , whom i thank and congratulate her on participative approach and constructive and by the council has stated cooperative and receptive to the amendments that the committee on the environment has adopted at second reading . 
i am thinking in particular of research in the context of the fight against cancer , but there are many others . 
unfortunately , despite the measures taken in this area , new threats and new ailments themselves are day and often existing products are not to deal with them . it falls to the community medical search for more efficient and modern means of respond to these challenges . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 12 p.m . 
what was agreed with the council and the commission and , of course , with the committee of parliament , for not having of second reading and can continue smoothly these programmes by preventing all discrepancy , consists of two years extend the four programmes , as requested the commission , but of allocating funds up such a way that , if , in the meantime , the new programme of health is adopted and is in force , the extension or the use of appropriations for the second year should not be necessary . 
in general , it is high time the member countries will understate leave it to the european union , and on a point legitimately supranational , greater manoeuvre and a budget words : diseases , therefore , they know no frontiers . 
the international organisations such as europol feel that the import of drugs in the eu are in fact rising . 
the public health is national policy and must remain . 
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 by adopting a framework decision relating to the status of victims in the framework of criminal procedures ( 9650 / 2000 - c5-0392 / 2000 - 2000 / 0813 ( cns ) ) . 
another international initiative is the statement of un the fundamental principles of justice relating to the victims of crime and the victims of abuse of power , which was adopted by virtue of the resolution 40 / 34 general assembly nations , the 29 november 1985 . 
you may remember the debate on the di pietro report which have taken place there are some time in parliament . 
this initiative concerns three fundamental aspects : the right of the victim with it , access to justice and the right to compensation for damage caused . 
all this the most significant lies believe , in the fact that it takes finally realise , at union level too , about the need to amend the point of view by which we consider the intervention of the state vis-à-vis the offences . 
the member states should be forced to create a special police units for the victims of crime . 
italy has asked several times extradite of man , who has committed various homicidal , in france , a country where lojacono move freely , and this so that he can finally drained his sentence . 
in terms of crime victims should always be placed at the heart of concerns . 
as you noted , the draft framework decision contains three different types of measures : firstly , we must stop of minimum rules concerning the rights of victims ; secondly , it arresting specific rules whose objective is to consider the situation for individual victims of violations in one member state which is not their state of origin ; thirdly , it encourages member states to draw up measures to help for victims . 
it has been working to support the implementation of network services at european level and national aid to the victims , ensuring appropriate treatment for victims , in particular to those who do not lie in the country where the offence took place . 
approval of the minutes of the previous sitting 
mr varela , president of the fisheries committee , capable of substance , has the floor again . 
well done ! 
during the trialogue of last tuesday , we still have brought a final adjustment to the joint declaration from the council and parliament . 
we have reached on a solution for the 2001 budget . 
we must pursue a reflect internally on the way in which , in the area of policy promotion , we transform the current requirements in a transparent procedure . 
we have asked the name of this island and they said : ' this is spotters ' . 
it did proceeded with its second reading of the budget bearing in mind the agreements concluded with parliament 's delegation , with the concern of constantly to vote for a budget enabling us to finance all the priorities for the european union corresponding to the real needs and the capacity actual implementation of appropriations . 
the third important element of this second reading council concerns the agreement reached on the funding of the programme ' enterprise ' which is continuing and complete the programme ' employment initiative ' for years 2001 and 2005 . 
on a more general , i would point out that the budgetary procedure which will be completed in a few days showed any interest of the interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 . 
discussions were sometimes hugged , but they were always relevant and are based on permanent exchanges , who have enabled us to better we understand each other and , therefore , to find more easily agreement , which i hope that satisfactory for all . 
it is important that no country in the balkans are receives now - of the democratisation underway in serbia - less aid that what had been planned before the recent events in that country . 
indeed , the use of repeated , two years , continuation of the instrument of flexibility can be seen , wrongly in my opinion , as a form of revising the financial perspective . 
the council has said to us today that he is prepared to increase the payment of 3.5 % . 
i special thanks to the council and the commission for this decision . 
mr president , i would also like to thank mrs haug for the sterling work she has done . 
i have the impression that , to put simply , flexibility , not on the small amounts and the review , for the significant amounts , but we will see in the coming years of how this evolves . 
we are now in the situation we have to decide whether or not we can approve the budget on thursday . we must therefore course examine this budget closely . 
but the interinstitutional agreements between the three institutions are also a very important . they should offer us a common security in terms of planning . 
the problems notoriety refer particularly to unemployment , a crisis bse and to the stability pact in the balkans . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen members of the european parliament , i am very pleased to be among you here today to present the results of the french presidency of the union and also to measure the progress of the past few months . 
we had promised : it will have roots in nice . 
it concerns the procedure of closer cooperation which has been widely facilitated in the first and third pillars . 
that is both a huge challenge and also an historic step towards the reunite our continent . 
thanks to this charter our union strengthened , better assured the values of dignity , freedom and solidarity with the pin . 
and weeks ago , that is the chimiquier , ievolu sun , which has abîmait near the channel islands . 
we had set objectives , they have been achieved . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen members of the european parliament , this six-month period , i think i can say today , we have seen our union will increase by preparing to welcome new member states , to gather the family insured now that we are able to work together ; they also reinforce in the heart of our citizens in the field of values , that of the growth and employment , solidarity , namely that of the food safety preservation of the european social model ; to strengthen and gain audience with the world community . 
( applause ) 
it would inevitably have given the approach followed , but the result as it is disappointing : on the one hand , because it leads to make the qualified majority is more difficult to achieve , and therefore the blockage easier , while the logic should have the opposite is true of the european union has broadening ; 
( applause ) 
at the same time , the declaration on enlargement - which is positive - stipulates that the candidate countries will join the union at the end of 2002 , and the heads of government of those countries currently negotiating have applauded . nice must however take one thing consideration : this is like when a child is invite friends to a birthday and that it does not know if it is enough room packing and if there is money for the chew . 
ambition nice was the most important european ambition to meeting the very many years . 
madam president , mr president of the republic , mr prodi , ladies and gentlemen , the judgment of my group is severe to 15 in the aftermath of spectacle for pursuing that they have offered to europeans , presumably disbelief to measure this opportunity and forthright in this is the case really , the common vision of the spirit of solidarity , of the mutual trust the major european leaders . 
for all spirit lucid , they are faint glimmers of very serious consequences for which there led the project of a federal europe 27 or 28 member states . 
please allow me also , mr president , to say that after nice , france occurs again as singularly loser . 
madam president , mr president , the group of the europe of democracies and diversities regret that the presidency has not given following the message which he was was sent back in july last . 
many do not see on the line of arrival towards which the european union must bring them . 
so there are also limits which must be appreciated . 
i believe that they do not only reflect the opinions of these three groups , but also of other groups , which are not able to sign for technical reasons . 
so it is desirable to promote the development of medicinal products in the case because it is possible to make patient increased opportunities to benefit from ill-treatment out-performing . 
i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball of his first report for the european parliament . 
our great surprise , mr fatuzzo has the floor , and i am anxious to know what pensioner he met and what he said him ! 
the victim must be treated as a person before facing a situation of disorientation and of distress - factors which are probably even more acute if the person is victim in another member state that the embracing . 
the next item is the result of the joint debate on : 
it was discouraging to see a concentrate the debates on the question as to whom one vote is more or less one vote , which gain of germany and france , the netherlands or belgium , portugal or spain . 
we welcome that a new method be implemented as place and we hope that , behind this hope , which is written with the possibility of closer cooperation , europe will continue to move , that it will be able to draw up tomorrow for a constitution which re-establishes to our citizens hope in this fantastic project in terms adventure at european level . 
the future member states which are now preparing for accession will follow the example of egocentricity given by the present member states . 
some will long-overdue than others , but the basic message is clear : europe can now be met within a democratic european union and enlarged , which will , through the treaty of nice , closest to the public . 
special interests dominate . 
in owngoal agreement extremis on the treaty , has been avoided a overt crisis which would jeopardised enlargement in question , but can speak of a crisis latent must now deal with . 
i do not believe it to be more realistic to fight to reaffirm its own national prestige as for the effective working of the union and i do not believe that the people of europe will be mobilized in droves to follow stratagems of slowing conducted at nice by their governments . 
what wonderful plan , even so , eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall ! 
at that time , they had had to do this for half of europe , and now we have to for europe as a whole . 
the institutional obstacle will no longer be invoked after nice . 
firstly , the institutional imbalance : much for the council and little in the commission and parliament . 
this method has its time . 
the consequences for europe in reportedly been absolutely incalculable . 
for example , you know that at the beginning of the european union could meet blocking minority of what is called ' two major ' countries , and today is needed three . 
paves the arisen , enlargement is possible , parliament will have its place in the debate , in the deepening of directions and ideas . 
the public good european , which nobody has custodian - mr moscovici is right there - cannot be based on foots the bill of national interests to be schemes and neutralise reformist and in this respect , the prime minister verhofstadt , has had a message wholesome in this respect . 
we have recommended their ratification . 
i personally believe that the weighting of votes should take account of the population , like the european parliament , and should have to take place within the council too . 
but nice , mr president , it is not the end of path , but good starting point for a new stage comprising many challenges . 
i should like to return to what has been mentioned several times , here today . 
it seems indeed that we managed to avoid the paralysis of total future enlarged european union , the ambitions of the french presidency were unable to be translated into the new draft treaty . 
i have to say , mr president , i think it is simply that nice deserves the mention insufficient . 
i do not know whether the commission will respond to the end of this debate , but i wonder , in the council 's absence , if the commission is as safe in 2004 , the european parliament 30-plus members czechs , hungary and poland and members of the baltic states . 
we have not concealed the need to continue , with the same thing , but the same determination that we had before nice , on the way of enlargement in achieving our goal , namely the largest rendezvous with history that parliament and the commission have for the coming years . 
the other hand , and especially the problem of financing balkans remains for the future . 
i wanted to me to congratulate the rapporteurs , president of the committee on budgets , the commission , council and the presidency for the work which has been done , for the conclusion of this agreement will enable us to vote in the budget year 2001 . 
it is also good that additional resources are put in place to have been made available for smes , who are the main employers . 
in football , we are speaking of a match null and void . 
precisely because we have a budget and because we reached an agreement at the conciliation , do not imagine that all our problems have been settled . 
this importance do not just of anywhere but treaties , although the council has sometimes of evil is acknowledged . 
these rules must be accompanied by a commitment college of commissioners to a fair distribution and effective human and material resources to managing various policies , i.e. the political priority of parliament and the priority of management of the commission to tally . 
it is therefore a common obligation now that contribute to security and the regeneration of the environment . 
there is a lot of post-nice . 
you are , of course right to take it back to this question . 
it is no further fears of a military attack or a expansion is there a dictatorial regime . 
in my slimline , although i note that russia is midway , in the budget , substantially in the same level as morocco , or rather highest , and i do not think it is not acceptable . 
it would be extremely dangerous that europeans becoming dependent on russia 's opinion logistics . 
and a programme such as tacis has only a very limited effect in that context , not to say that it represents only a drop in the ocean . 
the falling birth rate , the mortality and increases the net losses in the number of people is of a million people per year . 
mr putin himself , and we would less than mr putin , said that the question of future status of the chechnya is not the most important issue . 
what is becoming russia , its people , its society , it is irrelevant . 
mr president , the european union has approved in recent years several documents which concern the russia and which constitute a good basis for closer relations with the republic of russia . 
and then what means freedom for the chechen people ? 
this will be in a second time to reach the respect of laws . the economic progress contributing also to stabilisation , the fourth step consists of persuade the hallmarks of a civil society . 
but this is an excellent report which , as the common strategy itself , underlines the importance we attach to relations between - on strategic partnership - between the eu and russia . 
this means that we must focus our efforts on key areas such as the environment - several members have referred to - , nuclear safety , the enclave of kaliningrad itself and improving the coordination between the various financial resources . 
we must prevent the error that a member has mentioned earlier , which mistake was made at the beginning of the last century , when russia was excluded for european affairs after the revolution léniniste of 1917 . we know that the consequences of this will be disastrous . 
as you know , the council adopted a common position relating to the revision of directive 90 / 220 / ec . 
therefore , i think it is on this side that you can find answering the questions that you rubbing salt . 
therefore , i am quite ready to propose that this debate has taken place : quite simply , we need to choose the framework of the most suitable . 
i do not have elements of information precise enough allowing me to reply to your supplementary question . 
it could not tell us that it was not precise information about this ! 
the council to remind the honourable member the conclusions he has adopted at its meeting of 19 may 1998 on fraud in the sectors alcohol and tobacco . 
all member states have confirmed their determination to step up the fight against fraud , both internal and in their dealings . 
the european union has stated several times on absolute respect that it attaches to the right of asylum . 
in this respect , the agreement of european cotonou partnership acp-communauté signed in june 2000 provides that the community will ensure at the latest now and 2005 access in franchise for rights essence of products originating in ldcs . 
i would remind you that the presidency is not here to express opinions of or that , that in no way of or that government , but that the express what are , at a time ' x-council ' , a moment " t " , the council 's positions . 
a system of achat-destruction will be put in place for these cattle no tested , in order to compensate farmers at market prices . 
the french presidency , at the beginning , there was concern as to allow a european answer to this crisis which is a food crisis , a crisis of society and a health crisis . 
under the barcelona process , algeria has signed up to certain principles which should respect the rule of law . 
- i have already had the opportunity , weeks ago , i would like to present a few thoughts on the preparations for the special session of the un general assembly devoted to the world summit follow-up to the children who will take place in september 2001 . 
subject : obligations of turkey in the context of agree in partnership with the european union under the commission proposal relating to the agreement of partnership between the eu and turkey , the council is called to review the situation of disputes outstanding , this is due to the consequences for the process of accession , in particular , with the aim of promoting them via the international court of justice , this by the end of the year 2004 at the latest . 
the council , under the partnership which he has just made about , intend to approach this with the turkish government ? 
respecte-t-on the rights of defence , and mutual recognition are contribuera-t-elle ? 
furthermore , it is up to each member state to take the decision nationally , sovereign , embark on whether or forces to national authorities in the operation . 
subject : the importance of tax for the operation of the internal market of the commission , mr prodi , has recently insured in an article november 's financial times that it wanted to no harmonizing taxes or rates of taxation common within the european union by specifying that the rate of taxation ' matter for national parliaments and should remain ' . 
questions nos 23 to 32 will be answered in writing . 
the agreement stabilisation and association of the european union and the republic of croatia comes at an opportune moment . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i should like to begin by congratulating baltas for his report and especially for the speed with which he has produced this report . it was indeed important to react quickly in the wake of the changes intervened in croatia , which mrs stenzel has just made about . 
the developments in this area is particularly valuable . 
in 199192 , more than 250 000 croats way were commandeered krajina , of slavonia western and eastern slavonia . 
no doubt that this year is mark a milestone blanche for europe south-east . 
i do not think that we can talk of smaller record on a year . 
this is for us is a serious and we can , i hope , count on your support when we come back consult you formally once the agreement negotiated . 
the reaction of the opposition to the wahid government numerous and the process seems stagnate . 
heads of belong are still in prison with . 
we are also the european commission to follow this line . 
the terms of the commission communication which dates from the start of this year are therefore justified , even if they were characterised by a certain euphoria stemming certainly of these changes . 
justice be done and refugee camps in this limitation are spaces of confrontation between the powers old and new in indonesia , they witness to the delicacy of the process of democratisation . 
the most worrying of various member states moluccas , where the enjoy jihad fighters have room for manoeuvre unacceptable . 
the irian jaya is also a victim of the migration policy . 
naturally , we must choose the priorities , we cannot interfere with issues , social , economic with the crucial problem of respect for democracy and human rights , which must be a clear political priority of our relations with indonesia . 
this resolution says only adamant that the irian jaya is part of indonesia . 
the situation has certainly improved and we must encourage president wahid , but of very serious problems remain . 
it is surely unacceptable that tens of thousands of refugees est-timorais remaining hostages at the bandits of armed under the pretext of patriotism indonesian , trying to control draw pay out for their past murderer . 
it account of its size : this is the fourth countries of the world 's population . it is important because of its economic dimension , because of its role within the region and , finally , because of its environmental impact . 
that is why we must combine the resources and instruments policemen , administrative penal both among the member states and in terms of the eu . 
( the president cut the speaker off ) 
mrs schreyer , you have repeated several times here that , as commissioner responsible for the fight against fraud , you considériez which could not specially your task to ensure the independence of olaf . 
it is the same establishment of a financial administration at european level which creates problems seen bad design models of distribution of european taxpayers ' money in the context of the so-called ' community ' ; only models are , in many cases , shielded desired . 
i very much like able to congratulate the rapporteur , person i appreciate it and that i greatly admire as an individual and policy , for his report . unfortunately , i do not then . 
the report relates to the protection of the community 's financial interests and on how we get that question . these are the main points . 
for lack of time , i will confine myself to a brief presentation of these various points . 
the debate is closed . 
there is a european legislation to protect companies against the effects of such a mismanagement and the commission has now undertaken to put in place its own regulations to safeguard the speed of payments . 
we have other mechanisms available to us to reveal the great day cases of fraud income-related which were moved inaperçus until then . 
mrs schreyer , you have just mentioned the council by saying that a member state has opposed to the creation of a european public prosecutor . 
also , i believe that the latter has a very sensible way in heightened to the court of auditors what it expects precisely these reports . 
the commission nor the member states will no longer be able to shirk their responsibility and in particular in the reject each other . 
he has said in all honesty , regretting it , so be it . 
the involvement of the commission and the court of auditors in drawing up this report was an approach very useful and , in my view , very deliberate from you . 
you can see in my speech me it interesting to deepen the debate on these proposals in order to see how strengthens the responsibilities in this area . 
the first important defect of this text is the lack of harmonisation . 
i therefore believe that article 4 must also be improved . 
the single market , investors , whether it is private investors , many companies or of pension funds , must be able to exercise their prerogative to shareholders for the benefit societies in which they invest and for themselves . 
we cannot close our eyes to face the reality : a takeover actions has accompanies the restructuring of staff , lay-offs , etc . 
that said , what effect may have retabling the amendments that we as a parliament ? 
what should be the concern dominant have laws governing the acquisitions ? that is the principle on which we diviserons perhaps tomorrow . 
it should however be easier to resolve the question of how will the authority is responsible . 
the rapporteur 's amendments generate a confusion surrounding disputes , and it would be wrong for us to vote in favour of the confusion is concerned disputes potential . 
one thing i would like concerning this directive on takeover bids is , that is the power to defend firmly in the face million electorates of my country and the millions of people who have plans to retirement and savings based on investment in stock . 
this procedure , which already exist in various other member states concerned , of course the area of takeover bids is , but it extends still a lot further and could possibly be studied in greater detail in the context of the general review of international law societies proposed by the commission . 
i would lastly like to remind you that this is a framework directive , with the wish that this parliament has expressed previously . 
resale right is incessible and inalienable gifted people creators of perceive some revenue from the resale of their works . 
there firstly lobbyists britain who fear the disappearance of employment . 
the compromise adopted by the council is therefore only have one small reflection of the commission 's initial proposal , broadly supported by parliament at first reading . 
i also counting on the support of the commission , at least one of three major points of dispute . 
this is also vitality and the competitiveness of european market in the genius . 
in another case , the picture was certainly very marketed in america and elsewhere , for example . 
this amendment is , however acceptable only partially . 
on competitive postal services 
that is my proposal , mr savary . 
first : we must ensure achieve reasonable price for the postal services . secondly , we must ensure establish standards of quality standards for these services and thirdly , safeguarding the available a postal service widespread throughout the european union . 
the legal affairs committee has been more demanding with verging on price of reserved services at provider of universal service , but its proposal concerning the limit weight to 150 grammes is the same and it rejects the limit of 50 grammes provided for the proposed directive . 
finally , we cannot accept a new date liberalization as long as there will be no evaluation beforehand . 
you know how the matter is complicated ; it includes indeed put the brakes ideological , sometimes on both sides . 
even if some in parliament are perhaps able to agree to these proposals , we are being note that they would have had a devastating effect on postal services of the european union . 
these proposals unchecked also to the closure of small of rural post offices , whose survival depends on postal services . 
if we continue at this rate , we will have nearly one century in order to achieve opening the market for postal services in europe . 
madam president , i wish to make three points . 
looking into this new directive , we must be clear on one specific point . 
it is not the case , and that must not be so . 
in a situation of fair competition , the monopolists can show that they understand their area . 
but if grandmother is happy to receive a factor sympathetic , which is also part of demands a postal service quality , that must not lament , but instead we welcomed . 
those who are inevitability badly prepared in a negotiation , those who do not pose the report asked since 1997 on the consequences , those who argue too ideological - we will not achieve the objectives quoted precisely by you that if we liberalize , liberalize , liberalize - , must not be surprised if relapse on the nose ! 
mr bolkestein , the commission is the guardian of the treaties . 
in other words , that is as if the calculait the average income of billionaire will blackmailed , which can certainly give a figure satisfactory but cannot be regarded as socially acceptable , clearly where the existence of mediocre . 
times have changed , mr simpson . 
the governments which are at origin was being socialists but of conservatives or liberal . 
as soon as the proposal was presented by the commission , i immediately known that it would never accepted in its original form . 
because if we are all agreed on the principle of openness and liberalization , that is not the least that the pace is important . 
the effects of the first directive are not made public as the results are clear : losses for employment and degradation job security , inequality functioning of the public service throughout the territory , particularly in the countryside and the neighbourhoods . 
the commission proposal provides a progressive opening up of this sector and , in my opinion , food-related improvements in these services as well as more competitive prices . 
which is essential for the development sector of direct marketing . 
i would appeal directly to the british conservatives . 
let me say this to year post : if this compromise is accepted , you will be a little of what blow . 
we have no other like that one day we know exceed situations acquired and overcome the patiently selfish to really make europe . 
only 3 % of the market to correspondence has been liberalised . 
it will outweighed by the technology and boudé by consumers who feel that they do not have their money . 
for them in this , it is essential to introduce a real competition , one way controlled and gradual , coupled with a timetable predetermined . 
on amendments nos 60 and 61 , i support the principle of completing the internal market at a later date , determine within a reasonable . 
the commission broadly-based the same view and the council ruling on the commission proposal as good semblera him . 
however , parliament must now to give its opinion . 
my second report looks so much in the first and includes the amendments voted by the house . 
it is true , commissioner , that we emitting few reservations and objections . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i should like to congratulate the rapporteur , mr dary has clearly commented reform , its history and its synthesis - that i shall not repeat . 
it exists in a number of particular regions of the community , the ultra-peripheral regions , is beset by a number of problems to be competitive on the markets and which few products is precisely the bananas . 
this organisation deters rather chaos because it seeks to establish rules for which there align us all . 
there is no exaggeration to say that my name amongst those who have attracted the attention of all the institutions . 
we must continue to give to those producers complex without the means to live in buying are given their production . 
mr president , the rapporteur deserves thanks and sympathetic to have known manage this difficult report . 
similarly , i thank the presidents of the political groups in this parliament who agreed and arrogant stubbornness members of the outermost regions on this proposal to reform of the banana sector to be discussed today in this house , so that we can make our opinion mandatory and be prepared for the council meeting of ministers of agriculture to be held shortly and start the year 2001 with a new reform of the com in bananas . 
much has been said here about the so-called unanimity within the committee on agriculture and rural development around the report by mr dary . 
ladies and gentlemen , it is my honour to inform you of the presence among us with a delegation from parliament korean in the gallery . 
this support enabled us to get the council a positive decision for media . 
report ( a5-0377 / 2000 ) by mr trakatellis , on behalf of the committee on environment , public health and consumer protection , on the draft decision of the european parliament and the council extending some action plans community in the field of public health adopted by the decisions 645 / 96 / ec , disembarked / 96 / ec , 647 / 96 / ec , 102 / 97 / ec , 1400 / 97 / ec and 1296 / 1999 / ec and adjusting these decisions com ( 2000 ) 448 - c5-0400 / 2000 - 2000 / 0192 ( cod ) ) 
mr president , i would just like to take this opportunity to point out , referring to the commissioner explanations on overnight at 00.05 a.m. , and amendment no 1 bind the commission . 
( parliament accepted the oral amendment ) 
amendment no 2 : 
parliament had a duty to repeat them and restoring the greater part of these amendments - for which affects the size of the warning , for the inclusion of ingredients , consumer protection and particularly for young people . 
as aurait-il , for some members , two categories of people : one is the protects as well as with endangers itself for economic reasons ? 
i would especially like to explain why i voted against the ban on the export of tobacco products above a certain level of tar / nicotine from the eu and supported the amendments which aimed to increase this limit . 
madam president , i would support the proposal radical use of images to illustrate the damage which the cigarette can cause health , as has happened in canada . 
i think that is positive , although i - and i would like to take this opportunity to say it with spending more for the prevention of diseases . 
i would have preferred that this provision is look-out for a regulation , which would be better for an issue which concerns citizens across the european union . 
the amendments that mr zimmerling has proposed consist a fatal blow to the vitality of the european market for art , with loss of jobs , i am afraid , very little living artists who benefit from this right of re-sale . 
. ( nl ) it is very pleased that i thank mr zimmerling for the work he has done in this matter arduous . 
i thus compelled to vote against this directive . 
and the agreement stabilisation and association , the cards programme and the eib is cannot possibly be the main instruments for the contribution of the european union that economic and social development of croatia . 
the indonesian government and the army is the duty is obvious protect the safety and lives of citizens , whatever their religious affiliations . 
we must therefore create as soon as possible the instruments allowing more effective combating of fraud against the community financial interests . 
that would make the eu a single legal area for the investigations , persecution trial and the executions of sentences for this type of offence . 
sometimes we seem to have lost sight of this amendment . 
amendments nos 11 and 13 seek to re-examine the system of allowances after 10 years only and to reject the setting up of the customs system proposed by the commission demanded by several of our trading partners . 
as regards the grounds of tariff preference for the acp countries , we also agree with eur 300 per tonne , but we consider the word " maximum ' as superfluous . 
there is also little opportunity to ensure that our trading partners accepting such a extension . 
the next item is the commission statement on the summit united states of america . 
it is , i recognise , easier to say that nothing , but we must try to resist the temptation - and i know that the state secretary albright share that view - to allow these summits are embourber in detail our relations daily economic and political . 
one of the main lessons was that europeans needing assume greater responsibility within the european security . 
i would be grateful if , for the statement scheduled for the spring , you re-gather these in detail if such a analysis which has been commissioned by the other side of this house , you faisiez proposals all points , on how we can achieve in the future new objectives in the field of dialogue collaboration in foreign affairs , security policy , but also of those issues that are pragmatic such agreements on mutual recognition . 
i know too and welcomes the initiative ' everything but arms ' and ask the commission to seize the opportunity summit for pressure to bear on the united states so that they adhere to this initiative . 
we must therefore act to stop the irreparable which expects to those who , as mumia abu-jamal or leonard pelletier , are in the corridors of the death sometimes for years . 
this is an idea very useful that we will certainly do not follow . 
thank you very much , commissioner . 
yet , i am afraid i found myself under crossfire of my own group . 
it is necessary to resort to formulae perception of simple to taxation and , more specifically , shape investment of the issue liabilities . 
the first conclusion is that nothing can be done without amending the international framework . 
- mr president , our committee would like to begin with emphasise that the current provisions désavantagent the european suppliers of these services : software , treatment of data , computer services , accommodation and conception of sites and information on the web . 
i was always said that one of the first rules legislator should be : am no law that you do not pourras to enforce . 
i am pleased that , particular thanks to the committee on environment , public health and consumer protection , the report on the substance reinstating a number of elements which are important , because there is a interplay of circumstances , have not received enough for support from the committee on transport . 
we must pursue the line which consists of ask revision of the chicago convention of 1944 , in order to get a new provision international level . 
the benefits of local short-term granted to a country are at the expense of other states of the european union . 
mr president , the next decade , the european union will find themselves at first global position on using the internet . 
many people , in fact , commissioner , are wondering why europe are always so quick to establish duties to new regulations . 
in this respect , the chicago convention is totally obsolete . 
i do not consider the introduction of a common system of vat as a priority and i do not agree that such a introduction is long overdue . 
therefore , our aim must be of clear-out and simplification of our tax systems without increasing the rate of taxation , but for the cutting . 
option that is the most desirable to apply a zero rate societies electronic commerce in order to put on an equal footing with competing with their american and others in the world . 
harmful tax competition in the interests of the citizens and the economy . 
thus , for that operators established outside the union to be subject to the same tax obligations that operators community when they provide services to consumers , they must subjecting it to vat in one member states of their choice and they have verront apply the rate of vat force in this state . 
but this matter is not easy . 
the place where the tax should be implemented is a fundamental issue , and the debate concerning the number of countries who would have qualified for companies which registered is something which will , in my opinion , unwieldy and which coaxed clearly the united states to lodging complaints urging the wto . 
it is absurd that have to flown to londres-bruxelles cost 89 books with virgin airways , for example eurostar , which produces much less greenhouse gases is a way which is far more pleasant travel costs , equivalent to 250 000 books for the same trip . 
mr president , this debate sees re-emerge in old demons . 
finally , there has been proposals that he could do the french presidency for that taxation is widen the place of consumption , with compulsory for the suppliers to be registered in all member states . 
european companies would disadvantaged too much airlines of third countries and will cause distortion of the structure of prices intra-ue too much intercontinental prices . 
this seems in any case be one solution which does not leads to a flight of capital outside europe and which is possible only in the area of the oecd and no means one-off through negotiations proprietorships . 
i am well aware that a number of members of this house feel they swamped by visions of contradictory . 
this makes it possible to avoid the complexity that involves the use of macro-economic criteria or even nature . 
i turn now to the proposal for a minimum level of the normal rate . 
therefore , no preparatory work which has yet been done within the working group . icao , and it is very unlikely that the next general assembly allows already a re-negotiation of the chicago convention . 
the sentiment persists even today , and that is regrettable , in the minds of public opinion in europe . 
the final objective of this directive is the strengthening of the management of emergencies at sea , in designating ports of refuge , in banning to vessels into the sea in the case of a strong storm and by asking the coastal state concerned to implement more major means for action at sea , in the case of serious risk of pollution . 
the oil companies tell us that they have an voluntary fund . 
i hope that after the boost given in nice , qualms and resistance to certain countries will reduced and that we achieve this objective . 
we do of course confidence to ensure safety in shipping , it must know that it happens not a week without us to be thought-provoking with this question : ' but you , meps , that doing to ensure safety , for changing the rules " . 
mr president , the commission knows that one of the plans announced by the british government 8 november 2000 was about the introduction of a form of taxation on road-users road such a stickers holdings by all the hauliers , british or , for their use of the road network in the uk . 
secondly , if , as well as the minister in had originally intend , it proposes to tax lorries foreigners in order to subsidise the carriers of his country , what should we contrary to the european legislation ? 
this imbalance of non-economic between taxes and charges imposed on the roads in the various member states unleashing a distortion of competition on the territory of the united kingdom between hauliers of different nationalities . 
with regard to the issue of the use of meat and animal meal , their exporting covered exactly the same way by the legislation which governs the production of meat and animal meal within the european union ; the requirement to withdraw , for example , material be risk the meat and bonemeal in animal feed is covered by legislation and will be actual from 1 march 2001 . 
jews are traitors and gimmicks . 
i really hope that in every country in the region , we deforesting and service educational promote tolerance rather than intolerance . 
this response is not surprising on the part of mr monti . 
question no 37 by ( h-0900 / 00 ) : 
the commission will propose also at the same time a mechanism for support temporary defensive specifically designed to counter unfair practices of the korea during the period for the conclusion of the wto procedure . 
this is a dramatic problem . 
the sugar-using industry of coke employs a total of 70 people , but this product accounts for only a very marginal part of its costs , environs of 2 % . 
question no 40 by ( h-0889 / 00 ) : 
we have transmitted our proposal to the acp countries virtually as well as to our member states . 
this does not do not object to resolve this , i would like to reassure you , as the additional quantities which could be imported the community market are low . 
these countries are unfortunately , taking account of their situation , no ability to negotiate independently and , consequently , this is a gesture we should , in my opinion , do unilaterally , without any counterpart . 
the procedure followed by the commission to grant financial assistance and demanded will soon be completed , and it includes too are whose ecpat needs for 2001 . 
we have three types of activities in this area . 
the commission proposal is no mention of the place where this could settle this future court . 
i am not sure to understand what the honourable member intends by ' proliferation ' . 
the question from mr berenguer fuster relates to the pursuant marques . 
i take as an encouragement to renew our action and ensure that spain widen as soon as possible what it has to do . 
to my previous question , you replied that this was the fault of spain and that you prendriez take steps to imposaient . 
it has clarified the one i was asked to be made before . 
the directive 89 / 48 / eec concerns diplomas couronnant professional training of at least three years after the secondary education . 
subject : communications shipping in the straits separating vaasa in finland and sweden umeå in the maritime in this straits in the baltic sea to extinction because it is more profitable , promoting shipowners can no longer to practise duty-free . 
in the city vaasa that i have just mentioned , for example , 550 jobs have rightly been lost in the field of tourism over 2 years , although perhaps owing to the end of the duty-free sales . 
this proposal to stimulate the development and use of digital content reflects the aim of the lisbon summit . 
furthermore , i invite the commission to draw up the processes of implementation and more efficient fast in the field of appeals to proposal . 
if we dump just the meaningful content of companies , including the weather and the geography , happily desirable , of course , we must not forget that , for the content is intended that is much more complex than take just the useful information to companies . 
the digital content , which represents more quantity to quality , standardises and restricts the social and cultural diversity . 
the second point which seems to me just as important , concerns the attention that we have to bear on small and medium-sized enterprises , to start-up . 
however , when we do this weakness of a virtue and that we changing simply negative signal in good , that it was more our various languages as of barriers but rather like a bridges and that we are recognize as assets , then it becomes a workable basis for a european market and for a certain independence . 
i will not on all the objectives of this programme : favourable conditions to commercialization , dissemination and use of digital content , to encourage the economic activity , widening the opportunities for jobs , encouraging the exploiting the potential of digital content in european scrutiny and deal with the usa . 
therefore , set up the implementation of appropriate conditions of producing digital content multilingual european vitally important increasingly . 
some of them are , in itself , valuable , but confident a better place in other instruments that the present decision . 
the different positions may be exposed to the vote now , it is not the agenda this evening and if the largest group of the house the view that parliament should not vote on tomorrow , therefore so much more correct to make such a proposal in this plenary session of parliament , tomorrow 's vote , rather than to do this evening . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , more and more people in europe are victims of noise . 
the member states are free to define when begins the evening and night who ensues . 
i am therefore pleased with the commission proposal , but i consider it as a first , it is too cautious . 
that is why the reduction and abolition noise must represent an essential part of the european environmental policy in future . 
the group of the left supports it so happy , even if we wanted to go further than in the search for solutions conclusive and approach of those who earn money with the nuisance . 
but i want to deal with bickering and combating who book the wings , within the commission , alongside , below , above recent times , and yet here at this moment . 
consequently , i do not conceal that my country éprouvera an enormous problem in accepting the commission proposal , at least it should foresees a mechanism sufficiently flexible to ensure that the way of life that we have inherited from our forefathers , moreover appreciated as well as by the spanish and by the foreign visitors , can be maintained . 
however , i would recommend this report and , of course , the commission proposal to this house . 
secondly come to daughter directives relating to quality standards . 
i am entirely in favour of the need to harmonise indicators of noise and methods evaluation , at all with regard to the cards of noise , drawing up plans of action with a view to reducing levels of noise and to protect areas calmer , as well as the need to extend the whole area of information to the public . 
secondly , this proposal adopts a new approach with a view to assessing the general situation in terms of noise in europe as a function of people affected by the noise . 
the commission can accept the following principle or in part : these are amendments nos 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 , 17 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 39 , 42 , 44 and 45 . 
furthermore , in general , the additives must not be used for the food unprocessed - which is the case here which did not have undergone no treatment causing a substantial change their state of origin . 
mr president , with the ppe group , we have voted for the lannoye report within the committee on environment , public health and consumer protection , and thereof corresponds more fully to our expectations . 
we nobody is talking about . 
the next item is the report ( a5-0372 / 2000 ) by mr staes , on behalf of the european parliament delegation in the conciliation committee on the joint text , approved by the conciliation committee , a directive the european parliament and the council amending the directive 95 / 53 / ec laying down the principles relating to the organisation of official controls in the field of animal feed . 
so i have received from the french presidency signal , a clear message very clearly , a message of the kind pasarán ' no ' . 
after long negotiations , an acceptable compromise has now been concluded in the conciliation committee : it deals with the assurance that the protection measures taken by the commission will remain in force for so long until they have not been replaced by a new decision , and on the involvement of the member states to give our full support for experts of the commission during the investigation and control are able to check on the ground . 
i welcome this legislation . 
the structural funds in the eu - mainly through esf - , so that credits of the ministries of finance national should still be targeted on the development of disadvantaged and poor in our societies . 
the cities of europe constitute an important poles economic , political and socio-cultural . 
clear legislation and an meticulous control its application constitute ways of additional action . 
the commission also expresses his recognition for the support ill-defined provided by the european parliament for this proposal and for the many useful amendments which have been introduced . 
given the nature of the activities , the commission can accept amendments nos 10 and 23 . 
i say ' vaunted " because it is an issue very fashionable , and you will agree with me that it happens the day it is the press are rightly on the principle of precaution , about everything and anything , to good or to misused , but more often than not wrong way . 
the maximalists seeking to block the innovation and progress , whilst minimalists advising us to use of the precautionary principle this that significant risk to human health and the environment , i.e. above a threshold to define , but we do not know very well how ! 
the clarification of the respective roles is a sine qua non for the restoration of the necessary public confidence in the scientific community , and also in the policy-makers - namely , we politicians . 
in these situations margin of security is retained , purposes prudence . 
we have also asked for action to be taken within the world trade organisation - a regulation , perhaps - which garantiraient that it be possible , in the context of the wto , refer to other commitments , such as those with which we constitution-writer under the multilateral agreements in environmental terms , with a view to extend the scope of the precautionary principle . 
of course , it is also important to strengthen the legal value precautionary principle for with a standard of international law . 
the genius of life in managing judiciously these risks and uncertainties . 
sometimes it is using too and the commonplace , and sometimes it is using too little and provokes our indignation . 
i think , for example , of contained some phthalates in toys . we have had the idea curious to introduce toys within sweets , of ice and other food . 
the same applies to the requirements of the commission , which calls for a detailed analysis of risk to be carried out beforehand . 
the resolution calls on the commission to make use of guidelines adopted and to integrate the principle of precaution , whenever this is necessary , in drawing up its legislative proposals and in all its actions . 
it is not possible to provide a general threshold of minimis . 
attributing the for the first time the sakharov prize to defenders of human rights which dedicated to within the union , the european parliament solemnly affirm that any breach of these must be combated without compromission . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , the initiative citizen ' basta ya ! ' wishes , above all , to express its gratitude to this parliament for the recognition honourable it gives him . 
this is not only murders . 
i therefore ask you to follow me and for me to confidence . 
( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) 
madam president , if the house me allows it , i would like to give an oral explanation of my amendment 51 . 
report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) by mr garcía-margallo y marfil , on behalf of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , on the commission communication concerning the taxation on fuel for aviation ( com ( 2000 ) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ) 
this agreement is attractive to some businesses but negative for the environment and democracy . 
the major event occurred since our previous debates in the budget is clearly the crisis of the so-called ' mad cow ' . 
this refutes clearly that the spirit and letter of decisions , previously mentioned , the heads of state and government . 
parliament managed to impose certain important priorities - in particular , greater involvement in the fight against unemployment and poverty , a number of problems associated with the environment and equal opportunities between men and women , and so we have voted against the attacks on the right reported the life programme and the jev lobby for women . 
the importance of the appropriations provided for kosovo is however not without raise questions about legitimate on real capacity to absorb this region of yugoslavia , of 350 million euro that it was originally planned him earmark in 2001 . 
there is no justification granting tax advantages by means of a form of distribution resolute . 
a deadline makes a clear answer participants in the postal market and allows the national monopolies is better to prepare a liberalisation . 
can we fading a simple decision , possibly petitement majority , a whole concept of the postal service , conception which find its roots and explanation in the peculiarities of each state ? 
the threshold of 50 grammes proposed by the commission , associated with a price ceiling at two and a half times the first-weight public , is really too drastically and have occurred devastating consequences on postal services universal . 
hence our opposition firm and clear to all remarks . 
we consider that the post will not falls within the remit of the eu , although the proposal after the reading of the commission is considerably better than the commission 's initial proposal . 
dary report ( a5-0374 / 2000 ) 
we consider that to be protected consequence of this war small producers who work on their plantations without exploit one as well as their income whatever the fluctuations of the market . 
according to article 10 , freedom of expression entails of duties and responsibilities remedies which lead to conditions , are limitations and sanctions . 
we can only welcome such a initiative when realise that the value of digital content of the european 5 % in terms of european gdp and 4 million in terms of employment . 
in these circumstances are particularly their coherence and their unity which has ensured in the united states a correspondingly on this market for the future . 
i also hope there will , in 2004 , a reduction in the allocation of competences and that it does not apply the criterion of subsidiarity so that regions and autonomous communities can have their status in the european union . 
we can only congratulate . 
for example , on the trade negotiations mentioned highest , the national parliaments are going to be cheated of their rights latter ratification , and a country , that minority in the council , will no longer say ' no ' when a negotiating violera its interests . 
we had , on many occasions , tried to dissuade and the summit in nice has clearly shown that agenda appreciably extended should have been able to achieve an absence of the result of this year would have been catastrophic for enlargement . 
given the importance of the fundamental decisions to be taken at nice , in unto caesar the things caesar . 
in other words , what parliament wants , it is control taxation and questions of social security . 
the council 's decisions - obtained in the wrung during the night - does not offer a solid basis ; they eu-15 huge gaps as regards transparency formation of an identity , democracy , the participation of citizens and the awareness of reform . 
so we must consider his conclusions as a result of a compromise which no one has come out entirely winner , nor triumphed . 
on the contrary , the power of national democracies decreases in force is becoming increasingly to restrict the right of veto to give it more power to parliament in the eu . 
therefore , you must admit to vote in favour of this provision which limits on the taxation of aircraft , because in this way the plane ticket to cost us always cheaper , so we can travel more by this means of transport . 
" " do not happening backs to the flats , pm could receive a pot of flowers on their head ! 
the complexity and variety of technological developments and the process of structural change require of integrating absolutely all local and regional partners in the development of partnerships , which are involved in drawing up programmes strategic regional policy for each region . 
we must avoid at all of the suffocate or to support influences . 
we could say that innovation is the reach of all agents who surround the process of production . 
the gap between developed regions and problem areas delay is indeed much more important at the level of technological development and to the level of gross national product . 
as we all know , the bureaucrats have main argument as the risk of error . 
i do not know whether the fact that three women these could have a signed today the european budget is a direct consequence of the initiative risi , but i would welcome the christmas gift that we are in decide also serves to women . 
reduce the budget in a chapter as thereof , devoted to empower , with new ideas in the field of local development urban - giving results be acceptable - which was the basis of the community programmes also valuable at local level that are interreg and urban would be a mistake . 
as quite rightly pointed out rack , i have never understood and i do comprendrai ever this regional policy and the policy of cohesion as a sort of pittance is being done to the poorest areas . 
that is why , when i am in the negotiations , at present spds , beyond the innovative actions , i am speaking here on mainstream , i am very interested in embodied in each of the programming documents of a regional level access to the information society is and i verifies quality , beyond the scope of this regional programme , especially in relation to direct the small and medium-sized businesses educational establishments and even on farm . 
mrs schroedter , mr izquierdo collado and mr ortuondo larrea , have quite rightly mentioned , the issue of budgetary envelopes . 
the price of new buildings 82.5 have fallen over recent years and have reached their level the lowest in 1999 , because of this policy south korea . 
the commission has had a vote at special to ensure that this point was the agenda of the debate today . 
this concept to a accordance with the treaty . i do not have the time to return to it in more detail . 
however , the commission proposal , which includes aid for research and development , the complaint against the korea before the wto - they work with lower prices , even compared with the price of recurs year - and the possibility that there has steps must transitional aid until the redress has not been solved is perhaps , in our view , this solution more or less fragile , but it needs to find a solution . 
at the same time , it is imperative increase exert pressure on the korea , if possible within the oecd , by adopting anti-dumping measures . 
in other words , we externalising unemployment and are in fact the others who are business with the shipyards . 
i think that it is an excellent chest of the european shipbuilding industry , a real chest . 
this will only be achieved by swift . this can him to take up two years for us to achieve the final conclusion , if it fruition . 
this mechanism would be implemented until the conclusion of the procedure committed to urge the wto . 
i am sure that we are all united today to defend with vigour and with vigour freedom in europe , but i wish to say , more solidarity by members of the agreement , the spanish require their commitment . 
for one day may , seafaring on the waters of sicily , heart nuclear sums are worrying signs of deterioration . 
it would be very alarming that , with this situation , we did not act quickly . 
in both , we wish to express the need for the two member states concerned , the united kingdom and spain , closely searching for the easiest thing to secure for the repair of submarine , at the same time , taking - of course - public opinion informed on a one-off . 
we have heard statements of responsible for the uk fleet saying that fault was minimal and others who ancients exactly the opposite , it was important and has required repairs are long and difficult . 
i know that the house suppose that , without these commitments , she would have been present . allow me just been the participant . 
the commission is train to analyse . 
since they are already eternally realistic , considering the range of options which now have the uk and the authorities of gibraltar . 
co-operation and calm methods are in use in our union . 
the british government is as has recently the russian government during a fault occurred in one of its submarines . 
mr president , in my turn , i would like to share my deeper backing to spanish colleagues faced last assassination terrorist of eta . 
the commission , in the clear answer that it has given the two months and in his reply today , has the responsibility of that , although the draft resolution group of people who , with other banalisations subject , has prevented the share , it has not recognized . 
the minister 's key government to gibraltar , mr peter caruana , has made a wise decision , when he was asked to a panel of experts hold it personally aware of the evolving situation . 
such is and remains according to the attitude of the more coherent and one which guarantees the best interests and the safety of all concerned . 
b5-0908 / 2000 by mrs maij-weggen and mr posselt , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; 
in 1980 , the unhcr has revolved of five million refugees . 
today we welcome the unhcr and the whole humanitarian personnel . 
mr president , the commission has associate am , of course support that parliament supports the unhcr in this house 50th anniversary of this institution . 
i should like to develop a broader question which has a directly to the remarks that the honourable member has said just now . 
b5-0909 / 2000 by mrs pack and others , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; 
the final problem i would like to raise the dramatic events which have taken at the border between serbia and kosovo . 
that is where that is the place of milosevic and not the congress of party in belgrade . 
as a result , the mentality of ethnic groups from kosovo who fight on them to be changed and become a mentality made of mutual respect . 
i do not sing our own praise , but we can also say that the european union has reacted very quickly to this 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 has assured that chile , general pinochet would have a fair trial and indeed , he has now lost his immunity and judicial authorities chilean instigate prosecution against him . 
i would remind you that it is important that we approve this joint resolution , now that is pinochet in chile , what we were unable to have when pinochet was the united kingdom . 
i declare the knowing that these fundamental principles are those parties of the european free alliance and the greens in this house . 
mr president , before we begin my speech , i wish to join the condemnation outrage of which has cost the lives to an elected representative , a activist and a adviser party in catalonia , in spain . 
for this reason that i am pleased that my political group and i believe , the majority of our parliament , leaves does not lead to play the coffers of evoke for operating the crisis underway . 
their lives are in great danger . 
the lega human rights suspended , its premises are put under scellés and its president , moktar trifi , is convened before the tribunal , as has just been said that you , on 26 december . 
defenders of human rights , trade unionists and academics , journalists and students are a constant state of harassed by the authorities in . 
it is in a state critical . 
harassment daily and the tabassage all democrats really are generally applied . 
i hope that in this case the judicial system chilean will continue to show independence and effectiveness . 
we know that the heads of mission of the eu will follow closely the political situation in the country . 
finally , i should like to mention the crucial role played by parliament , which has helped to increase awareness and to intensify the dialogue on these issues , through visits parliamentarians to public debate as thereof . 
laurent gbagbo must initiate a genuine policy of national reconciliation , which passes through the break with the speech on the ivoirité , modification of the constitution racist , and by the holding of democratic elections where no candidates are excluded , otherwise the risk secession and civil war will only grow . 
mr president , the news of côte engender on months of the justified concern among the people of europe and anxiety corresponding within parliament . 
the necessary conditions are the following : let no-one be sente excluded , as the supreme court established by the military power scrapped , that the head of state has involves unequivocally in the process of restoration of democracy and for listener the opinions of the committee in the national reconciliation . 
the concept of ivoirité seems to me , for my part , perfectly well founded . 
a dozen to copies are now available urge the president . 
mr president , on behalf of the green group too , we withdraw our resolution . 
mr president , i can confirm what has just said posselt . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
with regard to these people , the member states must implement various policies , in this impugned as well to the problem of assistance necessary that the cover of costs , especially for those with disabilities whose families are indeed unable to fulfil a taken into care final and complete . 
mr president , this is a great pleasure for me to speak on behalf of the greens / european free alliance and to congratulate the rapporteur for this excellent report . 
now , thanks to the improvement of resources sanitation , information , for care , to housing and of pension systems , more and more people are living longer old . 
it is governments of member states , departments federal states , of provinces of common and which many recommendations , may prove to be somewhat useful . 
the basis for vision of society is thrown in the family , in which every human being irreverent as child . 
it often happens that in the years of life , the falls seriously ill , there is still completely handicapped , the needs everybody 's help . 
in conclusion , i would like to stress one point having relates to medical care . 
the speech was too : women must not be working for the men have an employment . 
at first analysis , for many , this may appear as a disability . 
we will have to find the means . 
the many elderly people active should we motivate and fighting for a society in which the solidarity between generations may be a fine word ! 
these measures must be adapted to different situations and features regarding the quality of life and self-sufficiency economic . 
only with joint efforts and supporting may be able to help . 
it must exist room to discretionary power for the preferences and decisions proprietorships . 
if someone identify all objects which fail to our colleague , prayer to bring them , including his glasses , because mrs flemming was in your backs , mr fatuzzo . 
finally , there should reintroduce explicitly in the text of the possibility of actions in favour of outermost regions and their logo . 
it must also insist on methods of production that are environment-friendly welfare of animals and the environment . 
that is why i am pleased that this week , the european parliament , we have created a working party for biotechnology . 
of course , these actions of institutional communication must instead supplementing the operations junk orchestrated by the major distribution in particular . 
if parliament 's proposals , which by three times have gained the majority of our voice , were applied - but that is one more example of the powerlessness of parliament - to the set-aside changes can be cultivated with legumes or of non-food and that the pasture be authorised , we disposerions of more pasture and thus more to fodder proteins . 
it is right that these costs are borne by the producers and sellers and professional organizations , and not by the european union . 
we must ask ourselves why we have failed in the past to encourage industry of the european union to use the money which was available . 
of course , if we can produce and promote food best for the environment , taking into account the welfare of animals , and are sold in world markets , then we really achieve the target for which common agricultural policy was devised . 
with regard to amendments nos 9 and 22 which call for the establishment of a special county of management , and as regards amendments nos 7 , 19 , 23 and 42 , which require other changes of procedure , i must add that the commission to take place in provisions of consistent procedure . 
all those who insist to say that we in europe they like many good things are right . 
mr president , it is scientifically proven that the moderate consumption of wine is one of the best prejudices against cancer , heart attack , the alzheimer 's disease , i cetera . 
. ( nl ) i would like to praise the rapporteur for his work .
