we know very well that the current treaties are insufficient and that , in future , we will need to develop a better structure and different for the european union , a structure which also leaves no clear what are the competence of member states and which belong to the european union . happiest constitutional first , before the economic and social problems caused by rejoice at that , in spite of sustained growth , figment of years of effort by all our fellow citizens . messages of preoccupation the current situation unsustainable , especially for many hauliers self-employed and for the sector of agriculture , must improve without a doubt . in itself a good thing , but we must ensure that this system is not likely to be used as a weapon policy . reach agreement on asylum procedures now they are also clear rights to be respected . i agree with her signal from warning against the return to that some are tempted to the intergovernmental methods . many of us who want a federation of nation states . the rapporteurs have stressed the quality of the debate and also the need to go further . of course , i can only agree with them . the latter i say that , before i make a statement , we must learn , learn and gauging forces are available , given that the political discourse should be realistic and correspond to reality of the armed forces and the objectives that we all propose . always i would like to begins by this closer cooperation to give some examples of the new european talent . the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . voting in favour of adopting the draft regulation . the reports from the european court of auditors does not leave besides the fact they subestimaciones , from greece for portugal . consequently , we have not voted in favour of this report . according to their campaigners , these buses are not only cheaper and versátiles internationally , but also respectful of the environment because they use less fuel per passenger . it also calls for establishing reference values in order to disseminate best practice throughout the eu . a binding charter covering all possible and that spells out disenfranchisement whose imposition is absolutely vertreter could cause difficulties later . fire-fighter i would like to thank both for her magnificent work . however , we feel that this cannot be dealt with by now concluded in nice in less than three months , so that is why we cannot vote in favour of the charter to stay included in the treaty at the nice summit . already - ( de ) the group of the european csu welcomes the fact that the present draft charter of fundamental rights collected and ca recognisably fundamental rights which citizens will maintain vis-à-vis the bodies and institutions of the eu . reflects the liberal europe which is built . indeed , it would have liked to see this charter will be able to continue working on it , as propose many non-governmental organisations of various countries of the union . withdraw ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; therefore , like myself to propose next year , parliament is not present a general report , but reports by countries in order to stress that treat him a development differential treatment of negotiations . i think that on the basis of the work undertaken by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be able - at least i hope so - to give a precise assessment of the accession process . ; secondly , i have said , and i am quite happy to repeat it here , the french presidency will not shirk any of the difficulties that they are presented , which does not mean that we receive from the time and the necessary means to deal with each of them . this is perfectly legitimate , but it is necessary zanjarla correctly , and accurate . enlargement is a broad perspective that we should approach with vision and with great generosity . not everything outcome of the intergovernmental conference will be in accordance with the formidable exigencies of adaptation that enlargement entails . the second major change which we live and to which europe must be adapted to the enormous speed of economic development , which we directed against the global market and towards the global competition . outshines fourthly , what the previous emerges from the principle of being granted to countries which have been incorporated into the negotiations fair opportunity to join with those underway soon afterwards . in the sectors where necessary and long term to achieve the levels of the eu , must be borne in mind that , at the same são circumstances , the current members also disfrutaron of lengthy transitional periods . effecting massive investment in the protection of external borders and the fight conra crime are applied equally our standards and advantages for european cooperation . look again at trade flows which currently exist between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . i was pleased to hear the commissioner has begun , finally , we have to tell people that the fears which talks do not have to be disproportionally . this compromise , which they themselves people purchased , must be implemented to be possible until the european union membership . we therefore need the support of the commission , because although we have the necessary determination , sometimes lack of ammunition indispensable . this is something essential in order , as the european union , bogged objectives aimed at the implementation of our own internal reforms . however , there are points and issues of magnitude of which we disagree with . this is detrimental to the european union itself , for their future in relation to america and also to a common european security and defence policy , since it introduces risks with russia and with other countries . independent we hope there results and that no one has to be postponed to another intergovernmental conference it must be done to ensure that enlargement can take place . - ( fr ) i shall be brief , as i have been a moment ago , since in my first speech , i finishers three minutes ago . it is very important , and from that standpoint i am delighted that the commission to work in an information campaign , that commissioner verheugen wants it to be both extensive and de-centralised . but - and will be my last speech , i would like to say quite clearly : i am not pessimistic in this respect , i do not want a choice with regard to enlargement - to have credibility , we must also be taken seriously , we must understand it , we must also be able to collect the accession of the peoples of the peoples of the candidate countries and of our peoples . ando with chiquitas , stout already at the moment , i see no need to talk about the financial perspective in relation to enlargement . i cannot speak today of even a single country . at the same reason expressed , incidentally , i also wish to join the european union . we shall now give the floor to the different rapporteurs . i have been given the task of being rapporteur in relation estonia . as conservative , i am very careful with taxpayers ' money . i believe that only then would have a rough idea of what people have succeeded in latvia in recent years . this is not enough , global strategy must be directed more intensively towards the citizens . lithuania has a considerable potential for economic growth in the long term . in the broadest sense it is the european union 's cooperation with the russian federation . and i have here a sensitive issue : the support of the public , both inside and outside the european union . as a result of an intelligent fiscal policy , direct foreign investments of last year exceeded the 5.450. billion euros . we do not want interfere and much less us germans . democracy slovak evolves form of a stable and previously had seen the opposite . in this speech , i propose to highlight and bring the six points in the development of the situation hungarian with a view to membership of the european union , to be mentioned specifically . therefore , i am pleased to see has discussed the matter in the general report on the enlargement of the rasov . finally , i must mention a cloud ominous mixture which is hovering over europe and i must say to personally for 23 years agents secrets bulgarians launched a campaign in western europe and individuals , including my friend mr markov , writer known and integral part of the media , which was murdered in a street in london in plenary today . criminal been attacking georgi specify that . the creation of a high level group is something i recommend my fellow members . the report we have the honour of offer and which has also been adopted unanimously in committee notes that the part of the territory controlled by the legal authority fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . to this end , and without prejudice , of course , the commission 's role as representative of the cfsp , mr solana , will play a key role to play our own . the main problem with malta remains , however , that the accession process is assessed on a different way by the government and opposition and the european union attaches importance to this process of accession expires in of continued . consists of even the usa and mexico levels are closest . therefore , in the internal market we opted for a strategy okay , flexible and appropriate to the challenges . recapacitada between but let me also say here that i respect the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe , who had the courage to take to the streets and in ten years ago kick-start this process . the information society is important both for the former as for the new industry . we cannot leave cegar by the percentages of community law incorporated into national legislation . this means that the only way sensitively in eastern europe when elapsed between 15 and 20 years on from this moment . amazes unacceptably long . environment will recover this also applies to the transport of live animals for slaughter , which is something degrading . we are now trying to impose an obligation to carry out assessments of the consequences for health in the case of all the pieces of major importance . my report 's opinion must also speak of the european union must make clear that european funds for regional development cannot continue to otorgándose based on a mere share-out between regions or areas . accountancy and elmar brok began his intervention with the observation that everyone will be beneficiaries of enlargement , in particular , those who are on this side of the existing external frontier . rightly the inland waterways will be important for environmental reasons , because we must draw from the road haulage and if they can transporting onto the railways then we should use the routes seafaring and rivers . it was also a question of selfishness and especially of populism , and the change downward revision of the euro has not helped certainly in the right direction . our message for the accession countries , is : does not stop astray by the extension of these reports , the dossiers . unfortunately , at the moment there are many parties which have been removed your mask ideological and alright , therefore , very few ideals and too materialism . if you need to postpone the acquisition of land and housing for family reunification , let us use the right to free . there can be put at risk because of lack of transparency and the palpable resistance , although not public , a number of governments . hitherto but furthermore , what are the millions of jobs pledged by the maastricht treaty ? at the moment we are revising the treaties , some member states already demanding a new cap reform . the majority of the international surveys show that enlargement means profits macroeconomic . however , except minorities insignificant , any political group denies the main objective of european policy that is not to join as soon slovene in the european union . once the union had been expanded rapidly , should diferenciarla manner , as stated in the common position on enlargement adopted by the eldr group . remarkable for me there is no doubt that the obligatory regime and institutional framework which operates in that country da as a result muchas long-term consequences for the health of the orphans . urge you to support the relevant amendments . even here , european politicians , declare very little sympathy for the negotiation process . cyprus will be a sort of bridge to the countries of the region . i wish to negotiators to continue its work successfully in this important area . of course , it is also a second gamut of communication between our countries and countries which seek accession to erasure of what is involved in the european union . we cannot give ourselves the luxury of losing occasions such as those which took place in the early 1990s . mr president , first of all , as socialist rapporteur for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent report . it is for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , should show to this historic challenge , also with regard to the fears of our own public opinion , and regain the cherish , the ambition and the vision of europe 's founding fathers . unfortunately , i feel that this process of enlargement despite the numerous and fine words and the intertwined openness and closure of numerous chapters , is not driven by the council with the necessary energy policy . many countries of the union afrontaron similar problems at some stage in their development and can advise on bulgaria to help overcome those who faces at the moment . democracy is not just a question of majorities but mainly of a balanced co-decision rights of minorities . applicant countries must be regarded as equals and their accession dependent on their own development . at the same time we have to acknowledge the efforts made by countries such as lithuania , to compensate for lost time . therefore , is in our interest to extend our legal system and of liberties until romania , and this is undoubtedly an argument in the debate with our public opinion . however , there is a subject on which there is great interest uninformative . my group therefore supports periods of transition periods in the environment until a maximum of five years . mr president , it is imperative that we give them a positive impetus to enlargement . certainly the debate remains open as regards the order of receipt of these countries , because it will see the progress of its internal reforms . i am pleased that the report that positive and that slovenia has really endeavoured to satisfy the criteria - which i have seen on several occasions as head of the delegation is still too depict the commissioner . mode of massed in my opinion , this proposal deserves to be examined . these forms of violence and the trafficking in women must be condemned and now combated by every means both within the eu and in the candidate countries . on this occasion , i share the views of many of our colleagues on the need to be examined closely , the issue of the boundaries of europe and , therefore , that of how much will be extended as well as the convenience of drawing up a special report on the european parliament . thoughts and messrs once and for all finalising ; the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . thank you . at a time when we say in this house that in a europe of citizens ' rights must be enshrined in the right of the union . properly , on i put to the vote the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . we know that the undesirable substances which we occupy almost never impinge on immediately , but they are harmful substances from long life and acumulables , such as dioxins , the aflatoxinas , and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . long-term , we cannot find culprits . " " in this case , we must demand that this is snags to control services and should be made public that the product has been toned-down . indeed , we must make known and public debate on this problem . if allows dilute products such as minimum however , it must be clear that the crisis in dioxin was the result of criminal acts that contravenían existing rules . mr president , i would like to thank the preceding and the previous speakers . it is an absolute necessity . for example , the limit value for fish meal is different from that proposed for products of animal origin not sailor . it is high time we end up with an interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity , which aims to increase each day than the subjugation in brussels on our nations . fallacious like the rapporteur , i believe that there are grounds for doing all these things and to analyse the substances for which you mentioned , although we are not toxins for themselves , show increments at the highest levels . unfortunately it has lost a great deal of knowledge , the wisdom inherited a farmer , in an industrial production in which animals have been reduced to be production units and goods . the new regulations , and simplified requirements in terms of hygiene very complex and detailed than hitherto were spread in numerous directives . fusionarán armonizarán according to my enquiries , the number of people who are reporting on the exact content is relatively small . secondly , it is clear that in spite of everything is going to introduce a change which affect farmers , who are the producers of raw materials used in animal feedingstuffs . in future , they are being forced to destroy an increasing number of items considerably greater raw materials . these allowances are needed , although it is clear that the farmers are esmeran maximise for garnatizar the health of their animals . amendment no 18 propose explicitly include that water in the definition of feedingstuffs . on the basis of these scientific assessments of the elements of risk , the commission propose to member states adequate measures to limit the presence of these substances in animal feed . having studied the amendments submitted for approval at this plenary sitting , i am grateful for parliament to the proposal . in general terms , therefore , the commission can accept 15 of the 27 amendments . i am therefore assuming that it is time we will not be shares responsibility with the hook . the commission is committed to elaborarla and has also announced that it cannot act of that overnight . farmers need acquainted with greater accuracy , also in figures percentage - at least when it soliciten- , everything containing compound feedingstuffs and in what proportion is present . downright power graefe zu baringdorf , and also to mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and to express the hope that the council will adopt a constructive position in relation to these issues and can be put together a system of declaration more transparent for animal feed . all this , of course , is due to the tragedy of bse , which has been a real ongoing saga , with various episodes . but we cannot accept the use of pollutants , injurious to the health of humans and animals . but let us begin with the good thing . this proposal is the first in a series of initiatives based on the white paper on food safety . thank you , commissioner . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of the european union and on the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] hungary report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by mrs nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of the european union and the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] romania thirdly , perhaps the most difficult , that the council will approve the new institutional measures which will allow the community function efficiently , efficient and democratic in after enlargement . although we agree with the principles of article 13 , it is clear that secondary legislation which the european union from 2004 , it goes far enough , and that there is no reason for denying the applicant countries which have a right to cultural diversity . sometimes produces in conclusion , i must stress the fact that the enlargement process must be done by progressively , at the pace of the adaptation of the candidate countries . in the current context and nationalization voices have begun to listen attacking the enlargement of the european union , it is important that parliament gives a clear political signal in favour of it . . . ( fr ) since its inception , the european union has vocation of bringing people . the criteria of the council in copenhagen in 1993 on the democratisation process or the ability to compete reinforced , by way of acquis communautaire , the reign of a brutal capitalism and destroyer . under these conditions , lemmings rushing to enlargement at risk of accentuate the currents populists and fascistoides that are appearing here and there . on the agenda for today 's sitting reproduced exactly a report on equal opportunities between men and women , which is once again give an indication of how poor results is making the acquis into practice in precisely this area . who could , in fact , denying entry into the european home to the poland and the john paul ii , the hungary in 1956 or the capital-símbolo , prague , when democracies grass-root defenestraban per head of state and aplastaban the people of jan palach , inmolado for freedom of copérnico stricken in budapest , ? a bigger europe and with more precise new tasks and greater financial resources . i take this opportunity to welcome the elderly and pensioners to estonia 's trusting in that it draws attention to their opportunities to live within the european union . if latvia continues and the european union adapts his institutional structure and its policies in order to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why this should not be able to join the union . latvia progressing if we continue to work and the european union adapts his institutional structure and its policies in order to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why this should not be able to join the union . lithuania lithuania in the environmental field , too , have verified progress self-evident , with the creation of ' national fund for environmental protection and with the principle of ' contaminador-pagador " . ' to permit the entry of poland into the common house , the european union will do justice to the freshly first-served : a justice which it has been negated for too long . i look forward to rapid incorporation of the czech republic . . ( it ) i welcome the report queiró on turkey 's application for membership of the european union , and i agree with most of the conclusions he reaches the rapporteur . hungary i look forward bulgaria join the union in the not too distant future . poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) this is a point of view fair and balanced agreement which the council of ministers must take seriously . i hope that the negotiations were held under the auspices of the un can bear results , so that both communities , and greek cypriot , profiting from the advantages of joining the eu within a republic reunited . jointly incidentally . ( it ) i welcome the report by mr poos on turkey 's accession to the european union . however , we are in the last stage of the food chain and so are the receiving end of the corruption and counterfeits . dietary consumers ; we are particularly concerned that , at european level and in concrete terms , food safety departs from the dehesa until the bureau . precisely because we are in favour of the development of cooperation , really and truly equal partners , between all the countries of the world , we do not intend , with our vote , to masking a superchería . among fraternales the council informed parliament before the vote in committee , but with a margin of time , ruling out any possibility of a debate mini me or with parliament . tiny thereby deliberately in my report advocate greater involvement of ngos , greater accountability to parliament , drawing up an annual report to be debated in parliament , the highest possible level of transparency , the promotion of the memory of the past in the fight against prejudices and the recognition of the multiple discrimination . representation and at the same time , we must bear in mind the legitimate interests of employees . in his capacity as principally responsible for resolving the problems of discrimination in the workplace , the social partners are in the more favourable position to propose solutions implementable . jenny was the collective ' charter ' was the coordinator of myself and my group 's 20-25 from the hearings on article 13 . access . praxis and action programmes to encourage member states to combat discrimination on the basis that the commission is able to fulfil its role as guardian of the treaties and also of pioneer in social debate . premises and because directives although the present legal basis for further preparatory actions , their funding within that category could lead to a reduction in appropriations for other policies . liberates loans ladies and gentlemen , we are faced with a proposal for a framework directive necessary but insufficient , whose mechanisms chance to perfecting once a year later implementation time . i hope the commission to study carefully the legislation of discrimination on grounds of sex in the light of this new directive . i congratulate the commission and to colleagues who have drafted the report . i welcome the recommendation of the mann report , given the opportunity to ask the staff prerequisites for carrying out its duties in relation to such a nature . organisations from civil ideological the speed with which the institutions have made use of the powers of amsterdam , commissioner , demonstrates that the european union remains pioneer in equal opportunities , and i would like to thank very explicitly to the european commission for this . the presence of discriminations from very diverse linen in our societies confirms the importance of the programme of action which is the subject of the report by mr cashman . mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , would like to express dismay that gives us the way in which europe and the member states do coping with the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia . can you explain the commissioner why the commission disassociating itself from this ? secondly , while recognising its importance , in my opinion , it is a problem that we should invite ngos involved in implementing the programme , regardless of its size , its characteristics and its action . the liberal and democratic has considered all this , but in particular the work of parliament who wanted to stress , also and above all , on the prevention of phenomenon , addition of best practices . it represents a challenge for us all because all judging people for the first impression . mr president , fight and legislate against discrimination equates to recognise that there are even which are often " legalised " because they are trivializadas . the first , the cnucyd , the conference of the united nations for trade and development , which took place in geneva at the beginning of inequalities compensatory measures , and therefore of discrimination . 1963 in fact , information and awareness campaigns are of crucial importance in this area , should serve as a new mentality , a new way of thinking and must be made to venzan radically these prejudice still widespread among the people and ensure the real equality of all citizens in terms of human rights . detonating to drum therefore , is also important to make progress with the two legislative initiatives that are now discussing , although mejorándolas in some respects and increasing the amounts allocated for the socrates programme and reflecting the political importance this fight against discrimination . in particular , the agreement on the principle of adjustments , which have been trendsetters sweden and ireland , will ensure that employers adapt their places of work , equipment and amended its working practices in a way that employees disabled are really to have a fair chance . now the whole of europe will acquire special-purpose reasonable article 13 is the point of departure for a new goal for the eu : combating discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens for causes listed in the same . the second point i should like to make is unfortunately the serious mistake committed by the commission with this first package to prioritise between grounds for discrimination . mr president , discrimination on the grounds of religion is as unacceptable as any other form of discrimination . as the layman unconvinced , i would not know therefore accept it . however , the idea of admitted to the maximum possible , provided they are compatible with identical measure of freedom for others , even today , however , with obstacles : some of them and others are right . generous every citizen freedom shocks one of the directives has already been adopted in record time , and i am hopeful that the other is adopted in november , during the french presidency . some do not comply with other legal requirements , for example , the amendment relating to the provisions of the committees . instead , i cannot accept amendment no 38 to abolish article 5 of the list of differences of discrimination on grounds of age can be justified . parliament has also addressed the issue of the conformity of contracts . that is the first time that we allow joint projects in this action programme . it is obvious that the more so universal code and , more effective falsehood . article 7 of the code oblige states to commit to prevent exports to deflected towards end-users undesirable . . ( it ) mr president , confess that i am of the times in which the european parliament , as well as from the various pacifists and unions , it incitaba to reflect and to work towards a gradual reduction of the manufacture of weapons and we wondered how converting production warlike in production civil-military . nostalgia since movements. in view of the situation in which they are today the planet and our continent after the end of the cold war and the breakdown of equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , such an approach would be irresponsible . these weapons are made , as it were , in the symbol of anarchy in many places in the world . cfsp actions to combat crises beyond the limits of the eu and not something that could be seen as a common defence policy . sympathises these are designed to prevent the export of arms to governments to commit violations of human rights , to areas of conflict or to regions thrown into a career in the field of armaments . the commission , in close collaboration with member states , participated actively in the formulation of the joint action of the european union on small arms and light weapons . the next item is the commission undertakes to make a statement on the area of research in europe . introduce forms of intervention in the longer term , intermediary between the support of projects and funding , using the instruments with variable-geometry offered by the treaty , and specifically the union 's participation in national programmes , as envisaged in article 169 of the treaty . institution- what we want to strengthen , is that character of hierarchy , and that depends on the way of intervention . you say that believes in a shake-up of the overall framework programme . i believe that today we need something which the european research area , that is something that goes beyond framework-programme that comes as surcharge for national programmes , we need an element structuring , which means that we must accept formulae . structured thank you for your speech and his views with the stoa , i believe we must do something together , because that is something that concerns the house , the joint research centre , to the institutes of foresight extant in several member states . constructive spirit in which refers to . it seems that the commission continues to giant steps towards the completion of the european research area . there will be a chapter whole-year on science and society and its citizens . there has been in contact with the greek authorities , ireland and portugal to ask the government of those countries which expedited the submission to the commission for its visions of the cohesion fund . perhaps the non-existence of universal service that i have mentioned - that existed in the previous commission devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund could be more specific elements . my second question is : regardless of the cohesion fund , there are of the community support framework , the structural and regional programmes , etc. now how countries received projects and programmes which countries have already approved definite what ? in 1989 the commission submitted a new proposal which would offer greater flexibility . and , despite the fact that the main objective of the treaties which are closer to home , it should apply the legislation on fair competition in europe in cases where the taxation is totally disproportionate . we must look at the effect that can take in this situation the legislation on competition , despite the general rule that these matters are prerogative of member states . copper foreign companies to a general rule prohibits bolkestein if we want to retain the fuel , the way of doing this through the tax , and not through other forms of taxation . i would say to mr purvis that of the natural handicaps and regional level is a matter that falls to the national governments , as part of his electorate finds itself in these areas outlying areas and peripheral regions . probably mr president , commissioner , thank you for the information society . the spring summit and the last summer , the commission did a general review of its activities and human resources . there are some who would argue . these children are being used more and more for tourists and businessmen that , mostly , hail from europe . the commission is convinced that all businesses can prepare for the final step on the euro , including the adaptation of their systems and software . the debate político-filosófico is no longer on the agenda , but in general we consider the dangers of a referendum , but perhaps in another context . the same applies to elk . it was recently sent a reminder to the french authorities . in relation to the candidate countries , i can tell you that it has held meetings with them in relation to the issue of animal transport and agreements were reached introductory comments . however , in the sowing season in the last spring the commission was informed that had been interceptado seed imported from traditional varieties of different species , including the cotton , containing remnants of genetically modified seeds . however , after consulting their services , i am able to inform the honourable member for a directive on electrical or electronic products , the directive concerning the limits of tension electric , as well as the directive on team of radio and terminals in telecommunications , prescriptive about essential requirements in terms of security of computer equipment for private use or in the workplace . does it agree with me , however , in this case the distinction between on safety at work , in a class schooling or for a child to do their homework at home is a false distinction ? perhaps estreche side-by-side of president khatami . today aung san suu kyi is once again be exercised in fact to house arrest . so i am reluctant to go further in terms of trade or to recommend additional measures in the field of trade and investment . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : my informers mentioned at some of the meetings electorally , for example , to which they had attended . questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . what we want is a report which was published and subjected to consideration of this parliament . consolidated european we should concentrate on switch to produce weapons instead of thinking about the way to compete with other countries manufacturers of weapons of everybody . non-extension the five permanent members of the security council , which reputedly alliances for our security , ought to pay attention to these proposals and negotiations as soon as possible a settlement really worthy of the 21st century . the debate today is an important step in the reform process which began the prodi commission a little more than a year ago . i cannot help feeling that in his career by producing a proposal within the time limit on established by the white paper on reform , the commission does not atendió appropriately to the details . i therefore propose that both the financial controller and the internal auditor make annual detallando their activities . the van hulten report quite rightly , the differentiation in which the commission pleads and gives a good impetus for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . aggravates further we hope that this does not happen again ! if we establish something for large institutions that we should use all the escalafón such independence that the committee of wise men outlined . in the past , we have noted with great propensity to undue delay in the decision-making processes creating frustration among job-seekers and a loss of confidence in the european institutions . i should like to tell the commissioner that this report is not only an intermediate step and an intermediate step which is the first step in building a bridge between the system we have now control and the system we wish to achieve after the reform . signifies . this is the content of the proposal . only when it does it intend to introduce the sampling , the selection procedure , which is monitored frequently . consequently , beyond mere words , we are aware that the task is not so easy . obviously , i also think that neither politicians nor can we tackle the technicians in any way the problem we alone . the majority of children and adolescents increases , however , fortunately , in a way which does not present any kind of problem areas . i fully agree with the president of the committee on the need to draw up a constitution and in my opinion , it is obvious that the principle of subsidiarity and the eu should therefore refrain from making policy in the large number of areas where the insights politicians are not trans-border this catalogue similar to be strengthened . feedback information from the whole world and in all areas of knowledge comes at a very short time into our houses and communication via the planet is for them experience of a day-to-day basis . detained very shortly afterwards , to the policemen : " interestingly , in the series hideous television , does not leave catch so easily " . declared legislators - and i will end here , mr president , it cannot solve everything , but they sometimes remembering rights and duties of each . below-the-line i am also very receptive to the comments made on education , training for learn to read images , on the awareness of the younger generations to take a critical approach to the half-realized ideals and not languish anything , at any time and in any way . bio-patent nothing will further damage to the views that are forming the fact that a report like this do not break-through or not to make possible or not to start at least to break down the barriers to which faces today mobility . educational greater mobility the outstanding problems in the various member states are of topics : for example , in terms of social security , taxation and the lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and of the stages . fellowships , right of residence , different rules it is high time that europe devote attention to the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe . reconsideration of the experience on the mobility of students and teachers shows that the real difficulties to free movement of education , but rather in the fields of action by the authorities of social security , finance and immigration policies . they are not so much in authorities it has been mentioned as an example of this , the socrates programme . there must be clear , control plain , albeit by sampling , and , above all , a counter , a website , where the pupils can collect their complaints . inspectorate that is why we are asking to be incorporated into the category of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . it is easy to do so in a speech , but not so in practice . the debate is closed . we appreciate his actions , similar to the president chirac or minister 's joska fischer . the european union must speak with one voice in foreign policy and reflect a capacity of defence and security policy . we need a forum for decision-making in order to deal with issues instrumental to both sides as migratory flows , the transfer of production factors , the energy supply . the proposal for a resolution on the commission 's reports , on which the honourable members will speak later , is a lot about this . it is clearly in the report prepared by the finnish presidency on women and the decision-making process . indicators which has produced enable evaluate the progress made . apart from the conference of ministers and the symposium on equal proficient , two very important , specifically dedicated to equality , but corresponding to the council on employment and social affairs , are worthy of mention . texts the second concerns the principle of non-discrimination , including the based on sex . with regard to the reports , i must say for the rest -the madam president-in-office of the council also took up this - that one of the major problems in the eu are naturally take great cultural differences . the reports presented here are a good example of this . we must ensure that the directive on equality truly formed part of the rules . i believe that this method is taken first for finland , is feasible in numerous areas and , since it forms part of the strategy of gender equality in the commission , you might expect much from him . on behalf of the equality of opportunity , french women have cornered , thanks to europe , the right to work at night . as a french citizen , this vision of the world amazes me particularly foreign policy . despite these reservations , i shall vote in favour of this report because of course we are in favour of equal opportunities , but it is primarily with respect for everyone . the deprive to mothers freedom of educate our children without remuneration , it will foot the bill later in the form of crime youth and vandalism . that in this context i would remind you of our report on the division of the derived rights of pensions in the event of divorce thanks to which pensions for survival and pensionable age were incorporated finally to the directive on 1979 . women polish we were very grateful for having made it clear that the representative of the present there is not conveyed the attitude of women polish . greater involvement of women at all levels of government and in all areas of life is essential to give greater depth to democracy and achieving and maintaining peace . in conclusion , i should like to mention the situation of women in the candidate for accession to the european union . the council , especially men who have the important task of leading to europe in the fight against mafia exploitation of women to slave trading is not something that responsible politicians circumvent , shun or ignore . compose it , in this respect this . the reports and interventions that today we are analysing conveyed , as many of us , that the problem of equal opportunities is a problem in order to deal with it , are necessary , because women are not a category either a social group homogeneous nor any collective . structure , and we already knew global strategies it is true that i was a little sad to see that maria de belém roseira not already held this post . two of you mentioned new social rights , replanting rights tax . thirdly , because they are the basis strategic not only for the european union - have at our disposal a picture of the situation in the charter of human rights has played an important - but also at national level , since they can member states through the benchmarking determine national targets . even the the joint debate is closed . these amendments must be them in the context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament could not dwell on these amendments because they have been overcome in any way by the new interinstitutional framework . compromise with the comitology newfound however , i , personally , i still believe that the text adopted in its day for parliament responded to the new realities of the internal market and the liberalisation of markets , insofar as that elements of clarifying and control that loaded amendments not accepted greater guarantees that the regulation was to be implemented and that they were going to follow the same procedures when it comes to applying them . encountered a lot better still totalled if we want to accept the commitments , the european community must be the first celosa in ensuring compliance with its own rules , because if a country has the possibility of bringing in the community products on the path of contraband what use are they going to bother to negotiate with us any kind of concession ? third-country nationals furthermore , parliament 's amendment on the customs formalities through declarations , accepted by the council , will lead to the customs administrations of member states to be equipen with the means computerized control more modern computer . but now it is too late now that you have just take the vote and the members have voted in favour . votes ( continuation ) report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) on the commission 's annual reports ' equal opportunities for men and women in the european union - " [ com ( 1998 ) - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities . draftsman : lone dybkjær . 1997 , 1998 and 1999 302 106 it is not the first time i am speaking on the mobility of students and the body of teachers . this report is much more important as it occurs at a critical time for the european union : that of enlargement . discrimination is not fights creating jobs additional administrative but by changing the mentality of persons . i voted against the mann report because , if we do indeed need to try to achieve equality of treatment of persons in the field of employment and labour , we should not lead to the extent of abandon all protection of fundamental freedoms and respect the rule of law . the zealousness as layman unconvinced that i am , i have not been able to join it . the snp fully welcomes this directive and its objective of ending discrimination at work . if we want to draw up a directive plausible and viable cannot cargarla of florituras and illusions , since it is expected of a legislative text . however , the eplp has serious reservations about the following areas . there are elements which , in our opinion , should be left to the member states , such as the overall , the provision of training for workers from certain groups of age , the nature of the system of mediation , and the way in which smes to interpret the directive . aplicaión hulten quite rightly points out in this same interview that we can only begin with a positive agenda once they have been resolved problems such as fraud , wastage and the lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process . the reason for my vote on this report relates to , in essence , with the question of closer relations between the european union and nato , and also with the moves towards a common defence policy . the report is also understands the export of weapons in europe as a way of solving conflicts in the occupied territories fro . however , i do not accept that it requires a common defence policy and a security policy and european defence identity within nato . children are victims of violence productions . i am glad that it was carried out this study . at community level , will constitute an expert group with a mandate to prepare a memorandum laying down general principles for the protection of minors in the face of the media . dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) it is particularly interesting is the fact that , for the first time , make clear the need to assess the effectiveness of the political initiatives with the commission 's annual reports . peru mr president , in peru is currently moments of uncertainty and we hope that the current situation will be resolved through a process , in which all civil and political rights , which serve to strengthen the consolidation of democracy and peace in peru , a country which has suffered 25 000 deaths in the past fifteen years . live all the guarantees and the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which extraneous elections peruvian over the last may were unacceptable . b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . and i therefore believe it is also positive that the resolution contains several points clear and unequivocal specifically relating to the situation of women and attention to how necessary it is that we try to help prevent the taliban continue its total discrimination against women . the eu awaits an important task . it cannot take place recognition by any member state while persists policy on human rights violation , in particular the systematic discrimination pro-women . and this is true that we must bear in mind since the european institutions and also that of drug use is made to buy arms crops . however , will give full support to the neighbouring countries in order to help them to improve their financial resources are to combat this evil . i think it is a good time to reiterate the need for the european union starts to draft a policy of nature comprehensive with regard to latin america which may possibly could prevent these countries crossed periodically crisis situations such as those that have occurred in some of them . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , as the commission and parliament we very much welcome the release of jesuit spanish , mr alejandro matos castro , occurred last week . b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : outlawing of higher education centres and universities ; consequently , all we are glad that the problem of higher education finally looks pointing towards a solution really positive . enormously that is , therefore , i am concerned , a good example to all the neighbouring countries in which no one can only sow hatred , through education , as is happening now so often , but that education can also serve as cradle to a multi-étnica peaceful coexistence . i too would have preferred that had been found a solution which mereciera the approval of all the parties represented in parliament . let me take this opportunity to point out that the commission has already had a very good experience so far as the collaboration with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , are concerned . we are not debating today in this house to express our sorrow . we are talking about what has happened , for what has happened and how to remedy the situation , how can we help from now on , the commission and the european parliament , so that such events cannot be repeated in future . only principally on in any case , mr president , we agree with this proposal for a resolution , which we support , as a matter of urgency , and of course , based on what i mentioned earlier , we do not agree with the amendments presented as well as urgently as it stands now . as regards the amendment on working conditions , there is a directive on this issue ; on the other hand , the wording of amendment is not as successful as the text . that is simply not acceptable to islands northern and eastern scottish and neither is for the potential route from the north sea until the european continent , which i hope will be established in the not too distant future . i am glad that the greek government has suspended this exemption in the meantime . hence the commission addressed to the greek government immediately wreck of the samina express , requesting information about the implementation of existing community law . therefore , i would like to ask , pleaded with which the presidency to wonder whether apart from the abolition of friday , some have begun to delete also thursday . well-coordinated . let me also say that we can have an immediate lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a package of financial aid that can help the serbian people to re-establish its economy , on the part of the european union , are the mechanisms to ensure that at a time when the popular will be respected , i.e. at the time in which we have a government sustained by the people who voted in the poll by mr kostuníca , firstly , the serbian people . perhaps it is decided at the moment in the streets of belgrade if the democratic change commences now and can be implemented without violence . we condemn all actions which can be seen as provocations , particularly when it comes to the holy places of jerusalem . and we must tenderle side-by-side would very symbolically - as was said by mr unknown with such a meeting in zagreb . the fact that the police and the israeli army has used bullets of fragmentation , bullets that when we reach the corps in tens of shreds and which are prohibited internationally , even in the fights between soldiers , and we now have been used against citizens . strange thing is estallan i think that europe can do a lot and must make a lot in this respect with transparency and decisiveness . consequently , we must do everything in our power to stop this fire as soon as possible . we must avoid the provocative as the action of ariel sharon . today the same thing has happened , and it will impede and prevented from europe , in all these years , play a role as mediator in the middle east , leaving this role for the united states . not sacrificaremos serbian people on behalf of our objectives and morals , since that would spell the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . sublimes madam president , as my final point i would suggest that as soon as possible and as having a new yugoslavian government , will send a delegation from parliament to planning , together with the new yugoslavian government , the reconstruction of a new serbia . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , obviously we are witnessing a historic day in this parliament , the day that might be puts an end to one of the last cornerstones of a totalitarian dictatorships in europe . probably mr president , there is a problem in the file to the issues of urgent - do not know whether the same is happening in the other language versions lingüísticas- will only articulates the amendments of the gue / ngl group . lacks the motions for resolutions and the joint text . since german mr president , i should just like to draw attention to the mound of documents which have brought this week to vote . if parliament could tabling amendments to the council decision , social and environmental problems of unemployment in croatia derived from the diet imposed on this country , but there is no legal basis for this sort of amendments . reminiscent presumably under these circumstances this is the opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . mr president , yesterday afternoon , we are talking about serbia and on revolutionary changes taking place there . for this reason , i should like to make an urgent appeal to my colleagues and , in particular to the council , so that during the negotiations for next year 's budget and the thereafter be tailored to the commission 's proposal that , in my opinion , has been better assessment of the total costs in croatia and also in other parts of the balkans . maximise in 1990 elections were held democratic forces which were considered internationally as free and fair . so yes , yes , but also a strong request to the commission to support this country , in accordance with the rule of law , and so that you put on the list of candidates for membership , because i believe that croatia has earned our full backing to this financial support to this guarantee fully to profoundly european now governed democratically . like the rapporteur , i wonder whether there will be money for this purpose , above all , bearing in mind that , in short , we must establish a comprehensive stream monetary towards serbia and that the union 's budget will not increase in practice . also delegations from parliament 's appealed to the council that the mandate of the eib . nautical and croatia i hope that thumb sooner contacts and , as well as for croatia , it grant aid to the serbian people too that deserves all our respect . ( the minutes were approved ) it is therefore with this in mind that inviting the women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation on tuesday and wednesday will have a list and recogeremos signatures and accessions to delegation , precisely in mood of establishing bridges between women peacekeeping where , however , there is violence . : in short , there has been more suffering for basques and spaniards ; indeed , spanish and basques tired of the current conflict . madam president , you will recall , in the last part-session , evoqué the plight of democracy , james mawdsley , which had been arrested illegally occupied by the burmese authorities . british ombudsman madam president , in my case it is really a point of order . in fact , this report ostensibly technical , which does not seem attract major changes in order politician is extremely important in that it introduces the possibility of using genetic engineering at a viticulture , smuggled , genetically modified . if we do not vote in the report , it will procrastination . the council of state - as you said - has rejected this resource and been informed in due form this desestimación . however , now the case repeated and affects a colleague who , while it is epp does not belong to my political level in italy . dirk sterckx . hence , making for the introduction of a social scoreboard , as has also been made for the internal market , with clear measures , with maximum periods of time and with bounds . madam president-in-office , i hope that the council builds on the expectations of the european parliament and i hope that at the nice summit attains translate into a european social agenda ambitious targets to be able to continue working together in the coming years . following the informal council meeting on employment and social policy on 8 july in paris , the presidency has sought to all those involved - parliament , of course , economic and social committee , svc regions of the social partners , ngos , groups and committees expunged from communicate with you that your proposals . past ' . " treating it as it is a false debate and established a dual purpose : more jobs and better quality . quantitative qualitative lisbon clearly needed to promote this mobility and the same time guaranteeing the security of the trayectorias professionals . we must try to make an inventory of gaps remaining in the system and , in any case , naming on the agenda . the open coordination is , in our opinion , the way forward if we are going to ensure that a social europe . the implementation of the pretensions social pregonadas in lisbon , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the services , particularly those connected with the information society . requires an effort european-union obviously the cooperation of the commission is also important , but social problems have rooted locally and we must manejarlos respecting the specific circumstances . the social acted as a factor for correctness of the most harmful effects of economic policies . the commission 's original proposal was much better unaltered ; congratulations , commissioner . anna diamantopoulou for her excellent document . it is an agenda and i can still remember how difficult things move in the field of social protection in the last legislature . stubbornness with i believe that it will be very useful in helping to reconcile family and professional status of women also . i sometimes have the impression that the concept of modernising the understanding is often the undermining of social protection . what are the focal points of the text ? yet it is difficult to determine european objectives which have the same effect for all member states , since the reality is different for everyone . the commission has presented 49 amendments . perhaps things relates only to parliament and the commission , but , mrs wulf-mathies . another point is the increase in support of the community when it comes to judge the need for additional initiatives , including , if necessary , the transposition of legislation , equality and the fight against discrimination . in the past have not bereft of good ideas or the goodies schemes designed to achieve equality , but often failed its implementation . this is not right that the voice of women is acaparada by a handful of professionals in the claim that live in the injection of public money . equality of women and men in civil life , which allows women to the full enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms . i hope that , finally , performers boys entronquen here and curb the political roles of gender and stereotypes are now outdated . i think we should now like to thank him for having followed the debate , because it was not anticipated her presence during this debate . competition policy we must give our business conditions for them to be able to plan their production and especially its future . consumers must have access to a wide variety of high quality products and to competitively-priced and , ultimately , this is the reason for moving forward with a single market and , alongside that , with competition , because it will benefit all our citizens . it is the decision of subsidizing or of the decision not to subsidise in the field of coal . point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report speaks of greater legal security in the processing of applications and fusion power of shorter deadlines and effective response to the appeals to the courts . in all cases , state-owned companies which must not strength financial support for a impeccably corporate governance , but to the past and present positions monopolists . we need to introduce greater citizen participation in the information on competition policy , so that he noting advantages . these are matters of great importance to the regional economy and employment , and i hope that , in future , it will be made clear that these subsidies , which concern the development and the regional economy and whose most important factor exemplary is precisely the transport , can continue to be granted for subsidies household . this communication contains three messages science . evans for her excellent report on the rules in the field of state aid to the steel industry and on the eighth report on state aid in the european union . i would , therefore , reassure messrs mrs palacio and mr karas , as well as the other members who have spoken on these points , which the regulation takes note of your concerns . otherwise we shall be doing a disservice competition and to consumers . the debate is closed . the mechanism of funding conducts article 119 of the treaty on european union which is still in force during the third stage of economic and monetary union only for the member states not participating in the single currency . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , thank you because today we can still discuss the proposal for a council directive amending directive 68 / eec on trade with materials of the vine and also a positive vote tomorrow . i hope that 193 / overlords some of them , launched on 5 july , the so-called ' where there are expressing their concern contending with the introduction of gmos into the profession . beaune the rules which are favourable to the production of a material which offers the best guarantees , which is essential for accompany restructuring of vineyards , calvary 's new com vine and wine-growing . forecast for the rest vegetal diversified and health , goal-oriented community in loudly and clearly , it was necessary overloading the articles of this directive with reference to directive 90 / 220 at least trying to promote the strength of genetic manipulation of the vine . review process to be said i am happy to inform you that we can also accept amendments nos 35 to 40 amendments tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , consolidate the transposition of safety requirements and management according to directive 90 / 220 . i would simply like to note that there has been asked parliament to give an opinion as such . madam president , concerning paragraph 14 of our minutes on the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . i shall be more precise on qualified majority voting . on the weighting of votes , also on the table the two options : weighting in the interests of which is a hip , very slight majority , either double majority , but with various formulas , dual simple majority or reponderada or a form of ' mesh demographic " . continue well-known simply confirms , moreover , without prejudice to an assessment of needs and the coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic of yugoslavia , which is encomendarán jointly to the european commission and the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant to the federal republic yugoslav an initial emergency humanitarian aid of eur 200 million . but , ladies and gentlemen , if i had to say spontaneous and sincerely my impression , whatever the delicacy of the issues of the commission and the vote , we will not be based on this in order to gauge the success or failure of nice . -composición system would then read : look , another positive aspect was also the adoption of the charter of fundamental rights by the heads of state and government . nonetheless , mr president-in-office , i cannot fail to mention the same time as to why this was not possible . we must not kill the spirit of nice and , therefore , there is a fundamental priority over the last 50 days that remain elevate the negotiation at political level . platitude to : in this respect i would also like to address my colleagues in the european people 's party - and i would ask mr poettering that i escuche- because what we in this house what we need to defend it . as we know from the actions of the primeministers and chairmen in biarritz on the most peliagudas issues on the reform of the treaty , the charter should become the largest trofeo probably at nice . launching a great consultation on fish stocks , the national parliaments , enabling it to achieve a letter to actually needs , the council would indeed in line with the wishes of the european citizens . fuel-using it therefore needs to make an appeal to everyone to return to the origins of our union , have the courage which took giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt , in deciding the election by universal suffrage in 1979 , and that we finally have a president of the european union , the commission president of the european parliament in 1976 and decide on 2009 . in this respect , i would like to respond to what was said by mr poettering on the division between countries large and small countries . i refer back with a few words on matters of foreign trade policy , because it is a matter entirely seriously . it is , in any case , the precious little has been stressed that all members of the european council . a second very positive thing has been the adoption of the charter in its entirety . apart from that , it seems to me on this vital issue for the future of the european union and its method of decision-making , biarritz achieved some pauses and we can only pleased about . i hope we can still convince , single-mindedly to achieving results in this respect at nice . i cite two examples : the one hand , we move from the right to work at the right to work and , furthermore , several social rights contained in the social charter revised by the council of europe do not appear in the charter . the debates which have been taking place throughout europe , including those in biarritz , it is clear that the larger member states are trying to smaller member states to reform the eu into line with the approach pursued by the former and with your wishes . partly intimidate the dissatisfied with the two extremes are proof that we are moving towards a fair balance for negotiators . the leadership of the european union has not clearly formulated a vision . a commission based on criteria of representation of the individual member states betrays a vision short-sighted . a union of this kind would centralist and would make the small states of the union less than that the two-chamber system of usa attaches to the smaller states buddies . power after the summit at which were represented by all parties in order to find a way to stop the violence and resume the dialogue between barak and president arafat , we have seen how difficult halting the clashes , even if there was a moment at which seemed to be achieved . sharm-el-sheikh obviously some poor informers makes him to say to mr barón matters which are certain about italy and my party . it is important that the introduction of the european tax on energy consumption , which has so far been blocked by applying the principle of unanimity , breakthrough . we should not allow between member states emerges fear of being able to move towards solutions coming to an executive board . in my opinion , the convention has produced an excellent and i am proud of having been a member of this . in the latter case , the issue will be at what point function that principle of the rotation strictly egalitarian between large and small . the extension of qualified majority vote , together with the codecision procedure , the preservation of article 250m , in its current wording , place and the commission 's role in closer cooperation and not only on the first pillar : these are some of the elements which will enable us to judge instantly if there is , after all , success or failure to matters of truth . . ( fr ) mr president , thank you , jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , thanks to everyone , from vaclav havel carlo ciampi , since joschka fischer jacques chirac , since michel barnier pierre moscovici , since chris patten until costa simitis , including at florence , and the multitude of current meps who has returned , from 1999 , the great movement in favour of a european constitution . firstly to jacques up until widest-reaching until not critiquemos in over-capacity to europe , and it is a socialist , which is what it says : he has given us greater wealth for everyone . trader let us agree on at least this objective , and now that we do , say how to achieve it . i was pleased to note that the proposals tabled recently at the intergovernmental conference coincide on substantially with all or part of the criteria , mr president , i have presented . . ( fr ) mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , you were keen to hold a debate on the issues on which your house has considered it necessary to complete the opinion regarding the intergovernmental conference which was expressed last april . rapporteurs , and this morning , thus , while respecting the constitutional framework exists , it seems difficult - warn you - more than a procedure of parliament 's opinion consultative foresee at the outset . as you well know , this means that we make certain political elections , a reaches far larger than the regulation of the three requirements indicated previously . i myself have stressed that the formula adopted for the letter was a path to explore . but i grasped fully appreciate that beyond the aspect linguistic , your question hides a further concern . this is also why i wanted to thank you for the fund and in the way the initiative which you have taken . the implementation of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies which viniesen to join in the union 's institutions . it is time for revising the treaties . the european council offends against this european consensus with its refusal to integrate into the treaties and the european charter of fundamental rights , lent a binding legal value and give people whose rights are injured is possible to come back to the european court of justice . non-negotiable otherwise , i believe it will not be possible to achieve a europe of the citizens , . paragraph 8 : the constitution will - and i quote - ' issues that have remained open " . so far no one has managed tell me what has changed in the meantime . secondly , on the agenda , which has been left out issues particularly relevant for the future of the european union and the interest of european citizenship . an inadequate minister , it says on the eve of the revolution that she would have serious consequences for everyone - the russian byron mired in complex discussions on the design of the vestiduras corresponding to the cuaresma . bolchevique -acontecimiento so orthodox church therefore , partnerships should give any guarantees that the rapporteur has proposed , open to all , respecting the spirit of the treaties and without objecting to the acquis communautaire . however , there is one point i would like to stress : i do not think it right that we require that we are moving towards the demand for a referendum mandatory in all member states to adopt the proposed changes . state-owned or we have had a very lively debate in depth on two issues which are different , are at one point . gil robles for his work . we are prepared to make sure that we vote during the november part-session , allowing it to be adopted during the french presidency . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) what do we mean by ' the introduction of the possibility of gaining access to retirement progressively , through the part-time work ' , but a threat to the age of retirement , in spite of everything already excessively high in many countries ? we know that both to pensioners as well as children les fond of mermeladas . i have asked the pensioners who sent to parliament with the pensioners ' party if they would drink wine genetically manipulated . yet , exceptionally , dispose of material for multiplication vegetativa standard when other categories unable to meet the needs . or consequently , mr president , i ask you sub-conditions variations in the labour costs are not for these reasons restriction to free competition in the european union ? thus , the vote could only , as has been against it . despite the progress towards greater deregulation in the european union , state aid can continue to play a constructive role in achieving the economic and social progress . in order to protect the environment , public services and to guarantee equal income of the inhabitants of the less well-off regions , such aid may prove necessary . we indicate the danger that too in the picture of the european union aid to little avail after entrench the control of the european union in the sizeable state aid , pretext of competition in small and medium-sized enterprises . please direct section vi - economic and social committee an examination of the timetable for implementation of categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 of the budget allows concede that only an average of 8 % of all commitments are covered by payments involved . three years ago got under way our initiative in favour of employment with the support of the access of small and medium-sized businesses to risk capital . the european parliament intends to do so in two ways . the european institutions will only have been fulfilled its mission if this is achieved . in this context , i would like to thank the vice-president responsible for budgetary matters , the colleague gerhard schmid , for your constructive cooperation . we want to maintain its ability to work , but we cannot allow it to the institution that less attention paid to the orders of the european parliament as part of the budgetary authority . this committee that means that the year 2001 will be the last budget exercise complete and in this context we must also appreciate the commission 's proposal and we are putting forward to parliament . furthermore , we also demand that revise administrative expenditure . since 1985 - the committee on budgets of the european parliament has been endeavouring to ensure that the european parliament 's procedures take account of the financial impact of the resolutions we are therefore voting in plenary . well-worked 85- to conclude , mr president , by thanking the diligence of the other institutions in the processing of this joint statement . now you are asked pronouncing on a budget which was already amended at first reading by the council . with regard to internal policies , the council bowled margin , prudent in heading 3 , more important than that proposed by the commission . i would like to conclude , we will not be given to the financial perspectives for symbolism that do not have . an examination of the three sets of statistics backcloth to appreciate that there are still considerable differences , also for purely quantitative , of course , in terms of content . i would like to remind you that last year , after a long debate , reached a new comitology decision by common agreement with the council , and i have little hope will be possible to reopen the debate . in the financial perspective agreed in berlin for the period after 2006 is foresaw 8.100 million for the meda programme . solana . i would therefore ask both the council and the committee on budgets of the european parliament to think in foreign policy and not just in the budget when studying the foreign policy . the second relates to the aid which has to be forwarded to the victims of human rights violations requiring institutions specialising in treatments . if we manage to reach a compromise which supports the important work of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , we can reach agreement ; otherwise we will maintain our position at the time that we still . suffice it to look at our televisions and see the current difficulties in the middle east , so that we remember every day . i therefore hope that in tomorrow 's vote , yet we succeed in getting the required majority in favour of the centre of dublin . mr president , i would like to make a few points , starting with the rural policy , from the perspective of the committee on agriculture . we have asked to approve an indicative appropriation of eur 2 million for an information campaign on the cfp . the commission executive should negotiate with powerful arguments in order to achieve a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned belongs to them boosting politically this negotiation . today the 2001 with the image of the people of serbia in our retinas . overall , we should like to rubberstamped these amendments . an important way in which european citizens can ensure that tackle their concerns is that of recourse to the ombudsman or do petitions to parliament . turn first to parliament 's budget . for surprise to many of the members of my delegation , at the beginning of september lay down a strategy and the 400 amendments introduced by us in a way as a surprise to many of the committee on budgets . indisputable basic some of my colleagues proved it is difficult to think that the increase in jobs is going to solve the problem of management , if there are still procedures antiquated and complexes in the commission and council to address the many problems that exist . this house has repeatedly demonstrated in recent years that basing its work on the principle of a rigorous austerity . it is unacceptable for years been talk of commitments and always will promise beneficial , but when it comes transience of pay , then you say they are excessive and we must cut somewhat . despreocupadamente consignamos only a few million - may be much more - and at that time we promise , and then , when we really need it , we again . withdraw them suculentas the 2001 budget , as has already happened with the last year , it has had to deal with practically insoluble conflicts between the pressure in favour of consolidation and austerity , as decided at the interinstitutional agreement , so as to ensure the financing of enlargement , the one hand and , on the other hand , the pressing need to finance the stability pact for the balkans . the demands for increased yields also require more staff . the adoption of this amendment , in its original version , there would be able to start changing the start , but a majority of the committee on budgets rejected this idea . thus , the european parliament is preparing to say what it says , to implicitly accept the council 's position . in this case , the examples are , unfortunately , many of the privileged treatment to partnerships with the numerous ngos have a role , a philosophy and a functioning of the most controversial , to the financing of european political parties , via the amounts in the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of the member states of the euro at a time when the single european currency is experiencing a loss of confidence in largely shared by all europeans , since our friends danes until the leaders of the european central bank . vocation federalist or what well-founded and engullidas : finally , the fellow-commissioner mr heaton-harris has shown in their amendments the simpleza of many european programmes which are being offered to the citizen a story about european integration and which are , attention , eu-financed himself citizen . propagandist correctly furthermore , we must also modernize our administrative systems and we must continue , in addition , a good example . the meda programme , devoted to the mediterranean basin , geographical area of major strategic importance , it is a good example of lack of implementation capacity . when we talk about making cuts or find funds in category 4 for financing certain priorities , but we must not forget that parliament has its priorities . what we expressed very clearly in the vote in committee . so it will clarify this figure . thank you , mr wynn . it means that there are elements of flexibility to move in this or that policy , even when unsightly cannot or do not want to do this , and it applies to the countries of the union also applies to the candidate countries . downright real i think austria cannot complain about what has happened , quite the opposite . the recommendations of regional organisations , as well as the experiences of neighbouring countries will undoubtedly continue to contribute to the definition of these resources . in the year 1984 , the 0.2 % of landowners in colombia possessed by 32 % of land . the council is not to mention one or another aspect of this issue , which is extremely delicate and painful . at the same time , nor can commence in this way a debate on issues which are , once again , an extremely complex . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : i therefore cuidaré to give a definitive answer on this difficult issue . quite simply , we would sentiment , and your reply vindicates somewhat , that the council presidency is not indicates very self-willed when it comes to discuss this issue . therefore , the entry of tax is obviously not be nil . i would also apologize , but we are going to apply the rules of procedure . however , like to ask you if i understood that the french presidency intends to propose new measures for the adoption of the tobin tax , or if i interpret it is by no means a question of political will , but simply that you too , who are seated in the left the chamber , have reached the conclusion that it is impossible . introduction of the tobin tax at world level . it is impossible not the other hand , pending the adoption of this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies , took the decision to withdraw the materials that present risks with regard to these diseases , in order to stop any further progress in the epidemic and ensure the highest possible level of health protection , in june 2000 , the consumer necks . i have no other elements which i have just stated . we are very familiar with the work of the commission and council directive on the erika package 1-44 . however , with regard to this step , which is well-known in both countries and known within the european union , which is a particularly difficult , for which available for earning only a few hours , with the risk of an old cascarones coming to encallar and lead to a disaster , i would have liked to know , and especially to the inhabitants of corsica and sardinia , they would have liked to know whether it will be possible if foresees prohibiting the passage of strait of bonifcacio to these major shipboard , these large containers . and purely and simply shipboard big step and i therefore think that we should support , in principle , the commission 's proposals for amending the staff policy . the community budget needs new funds in cash for serbia and kosovo . i hope , mr president , i shall end with this , which will be cut in spite of everything lines of the budget to eur 50 million to finance the peace agreement between israel and the plo . therefore , from the european parliament will propose new measures , not addressed both to seek new funding - we already know that there will not be able to establish new interinstitutional commitments to improve the quality of expenditure and ensure that it is not a euro . desperdicie in current conditions ejecutar- ; just think in european policy , as with any other area , sometimes options temperate cease to be mainstream . it is designed to obscure rather than to clarify and disappointed by the attitude adopted today about the budgeting according to the activities . however , the expenditure to be distributed according to a greater extent how the budget is seen as a political instrument where the distribution of costs reflects some clear political priorities . activities , also raises and then find a solution for next year and next year , once again , we do not also have to go through this discussion on how to find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . multi-year so that stakeholders on developing a sustainable have to know that the basic thrust of the recent reform agreed in berlin is a step continuous 's support for products to direct support to the farmers ' incomes . non-agricultural ladies and gentlemen , a budget is always more than a cold-start calculation of figures . finally , it is immoral , mr president , cutting expenditure for the common agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the excluded social , and then try to ensure the resources to finance the obligations of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . it is very simple : this winter serbs cannot laughing all the frio or of hunger . moreover , i would like to express my concern about the fact that the various national parliaments of young people have been included in the socrates programme . naturally , we must also say very clearly to the council that he also concern you share of responsibility when it comes to the development of poor many programmes belonging to the heading of external actions . we need solutions stable in surrounding these subsidies , and a greater extent , for the long-term planning which is needed in the western balkans . i believe that the majority is prepared to accept that , on condition that these resources are being used in an appropriate way . i share the rapporteur , mrs rühle preoccupations and criteria which you mentioned this afternoon in relation to the chapters of research and the breadline . two weeks ago , we welcome the acp-eu joint parliamentary assembly . at the same time , we demand that the research fund and information equip itself with budgetary resources allocated to the study of alternative products for the existing growers of tobacco . i want to be made very clear that , with regard to northern ireland is concerned , the european union europeaha had its influence more direct and positive conceivable . in this model respect for international rules and procedures is guaranteed by an independent authority and , ultimately , so judges . in this way will be made for the first time in a codecision procedure at first reading on a text that is extremely complex and full of technical difficulties associated with a sector specially sensitive to the protection of individual freedoms . it is very gratifying that nothing has been restraints their respective roles . we know that , for example the schengen system has more than 10 million sheets which affect approximately one and a half million people , that europol is looking at how extend its powers , the information from various services within the fifteen member states , and that under the exclusive control of a authority whose power and media are not posts at its disposal to enable it to fulfil truly another task . endlessly centraliza police stored that said , i would like to say that it would appear appropriate concerned not only for the protection of citizens in the face of new technologies , but also in the face of using them to promote the capacity of the european citizen in order to act and to interact vis-à-vis the european institutions . presence of commissioner amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 , 10 , 12 , 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 and 60 to 64 articulates the text of the council for those areas in which the commission can give its assent . numbered as clearly , then that its opinion on the legislative proposals relating to the protection of personal data will be particularly considerate insofar as it constitutes an important contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions . the treaty concedes to an economic and social situation , aggravated by the obstacles to the permanence and the interaction cause severe damage to the development of these regions . indeed outermost regions difficult particularist among this will contribute to the promotion of economic and social progress through a high level of employment . therefore , i congratulate mrs mrs sudre and look forward to the development of the commission 's proposals to that can be taken into account characteristics , as planned in article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . rule-based soon for many europeans some outermost regions are nothing more than a tourist destination on the map . our rates of unemployment are among the highest in the european union . i am delighted that the commission has adopted by a broad majority amendments i tabled . in my opinion , it is very important that the outermost regions are integrated into the trans-european transport , energy and telecommunications . the adoption of the members of the committee on regional policy of the report presented by our colleague mrs sudre margie represents fidelity of the european parliament to one of its most important commitments . unanimously we cannot discuss a whole series of circumstances and believing that , reached that point apt and idyllic overstating it will no longer be necessary to take further measures in the treatment of these three areas and especially of ultraperipheral regions on the basis of which we are discussing today . -denominémoslo ; this article does not allow us to do everything , but we can strengthen and i believe it necessary to extend and improve our action . ladies and gentlemen for the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , the commission obviously collaborating with the member states and regions in question . we know that there are difficulties persistent and i think , therefore , objectively speaking , according to its real level of development , which will need for a long time to support by the regional policy measures . particularist in these regions a meeting of this kind could ushered again over the year 2001 , when we farther advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . the presidency stated settled the matter and i accept in full . i believe that parliament is right in stick to current provisions , because , as member said , it is not a malfunction of voting machines , rather than members to vote , and if we could correcting a vote , it would be a problem of never finish . forgotten are often there is no doubt that lover what they like . in short , commissioner , in addition to the budgetary authority , it is necessary that the commission services responsible , in cooperation and coordination with member states , establishing a system of controls homogenous and effective throughout the food chain and that the network of laboratories food from the european union is assists and work in a coordinated fashion with the commission . in order to prevent them scientific research is repeated it requires the cooperation with national research centres and community . today we are discussing a white paper , and we should define certain general principles . these procedures have been genetically altered and now we have our own food standards agency " . hiccup and finally , i also support amendments nos 11 and 13 until 9 , and we want a free vote on amendment no 14 . some of the new , without doubt , until 7 i would firstly like to stress that it will be guarantees of food safety depends on the solidity of inspections carried out by the authorities , and let us not forget that the degree of soundness of the same determined by the weakest link in the light of this difference . discussing an issue which will demonstrate the superficial and the vacuidad 's debate that applied to political union of europe . trust , therefore , the european food safety authority solely on scientific expertise , in conjunction with our national agencies . if we follow the traces of the progress of the main communicable diseases originating from food affecting europe at present , the majority of them did your first appearance in the americas . however , we must determine the conditions for convening the authority of the way to ensure a rapid and efficient action . we must also point out , as some of the previous speakers , especially mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is much more than any new labour regulator of the union . mr president , today , i feel happy and thank the commission , because it has started to work to improve food safety , as mr bowis and all of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . i think that amendment no 17 is particularly interesting . it states that there is consultation with consumer organisations . another aspect is the revision of the labelling provisions for sale by more than that in terms traceability of products and their components , offers a sound consumer information and permitting cleanse possible responsibilities in the case of risk or of crisis . bodily both to retail as in my opinion , the adoption of a new legislation does not provide an adequate response to complying with existing legislation . thanks to the vote on the environment committee , we managed to restore some balance including within the scope of problems associated with the nutrition and some important references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the protection of the various food customs . mr president , may i add my voice to those of other colleagues who have congratulated the rapporteur , mr bowis , for having approached this particular problem in a constructive and logic . mr president , that the white paper on food safety itself is not a legislative nature not impair the dual value which certainly possesses . magazine the rapporteur , but also many meps belonging to the commission , including myself , have placed the emphasis on food safety authority and , indeed , this is detrimental to some extent . integrity and independence of this agency priceless with better guarantees the security of european consumers . throughout this process have always thought that we have repeatedly lucky to dual-track system to the rapporteur 's report . mr president , i too should like to congratulate my colleague mr bowis for the considerable efforts to include all the points of view in his report and principally by accepting rely on the overall concept of nutrition . after all , mr president , the policy cannot side-step their responsibility . and what is most important of all , earn respect for their peer , public and the willingness of the governments of member states to accept its findings . that is how i see a food authority for the future . we have the world health organisation in geneva . no secret that when we issued a white paper i talked against this authority . therefore , we must ensure that the european union arm of the highest possible standards of food safety , despite the fact that this approach - shared unanimously - must also look at the consequences that implies , from an economic point of view , a need productively . tasks will be the following : independent scientific advice , controls and inspections , independent of the rapid alert system and also coordination in order to restore confidence . enquiry , as acotación aside , i can say to those speakers who have spoken about the need for flexibility in relation to the production of specialities culinary local communities and of typical products , that this issue is already covered in the legislation on food hygiene . this will facilitate the task of the commission on the presentation of a balanced proposal which takes account of the greatest possible number of the views of parliament and the many interested in the field of food safety . rather , in the past , this problem was one of the driving forces behind that , politically speaking , presupposes the signature of the ottawa convention . i reiterate my position opposes amendments nos 10 , 13 and 19 for coherence and , as regards amendment no 29 , entreat the split vote to achieve better formulation of the entire text which i think has suffered any lack of interpretation . budget and here is the first point : the need for the european union , in particular the commission will do its utmost to non-european countries signatory to come to sign the ottawa convention . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what the consequences have antipersonnel mines in spite of that in isolated cases frequently high-value-added large justifications military . it was parliament that proposed for the first time , in 1996 , the creation of a budget line horizontal and an appropriate legal basis which operating a unique platform for the wide range of measures which pursues in this important area . although i cannot conceal the fact that , obviously , the powers of persuasion of the union aimed at achieving this objective is limited to some extent by the difficulties that prevail in some member states to sign and ratify the convention . corps the effectiveness of the mine action will be greater if it has been produced in accordance with the specific conditions for each situation . as parliament knows , there are already too many , as parliament knows , with our proposals on reform of the community assistance to third countries hoping to desisting from the heavy solo supervision of each project and focus on the other hand , however , in our negotiations with the member states on strategies and programmes . all-encompassing ; ngos have been spreading in response to the need , however , when it is nearly four years since the first conference of the united nations conference on landmines and over a year since the entry into force of the ottawa , we are obliged to recognise that many countries and thousands of people , mostly in the world 's poorest regions , are still suffering from the terrible consequences of antipersonnel landmines and munitions . detonar without and held in geneva the commission should improve the quality of their programmes as well as the speed with which implements them . i think , however , that if you re-consulted this matter serious thought it would be aware that some of them - at least in my opinion relate to awareness-raising campaigns prior , with transparency , with the access of ngos , with things which work well at the moment , but that could function better . you are right that the council and parliament must keep your hands lejos de administration and listened very carefully the comments of mr patten on this point , because it is apparently thinks that we must maintain our hands still further . patten also mr president , our group has proved to be active in the whole range of actions required , since the interruption of production , destruction of stocks , cessation of the clearing of mines , rehabilitation of victims , and awareness-raising . commercialisation , camps for a long time grievances and then incumbent upon the member states support the process in international forums . mines naturally represent a major obstacle for reconstruction in these countries as well as for the return of refugees . at the rate of disposal which will take haul - as has been said previously - rather more than 100 years in cleaning up the planet 's anti-personnel mines . a third area i see it in concrete measures which ought to propose , to examine and applied . we can salvage from death by mines or of horrendous injuries in bosnia , africa or in another place deserves the efforts of all of us . every child we must indeed , to put pressure on the european union countries which have signed , such as finland , or which have ratified it , such as greece . ladies and gentlemen , do you look at finland ! and finally , we hope that in the context of the future tasks of the european proceed to the formation of technicians , especially for people who are interested in the elimination of anti-personnel mines at local level . common military force nor does it stresses that the list of countries most severely infected realizes , essentially , countries of the developing world . parliament 's proposals could not be more inconsistent with the lisbon objectives . the rapporteur van lancker wants parliament to decide on the amendment to the commission 's proposal , mainly by adding a number of areas in which it is appropriate to legislate and imposing certain rights at european level . for example , we want to extend the luxembourg process , which applies to employment policy , also to the protection and social exclusion . the most important issues , such as germany , france , great britain and italy , to put its domination by the small countries of eastern and southern countries applying for membership of the european union . extent , we are agreed on powerhouses however , for legal reasons , we consider it wrong to make a reference to the same rule 6 of the eu 's treaty because in the convention - according to their estructura- cannot be agreed formally , so that there is no legal basis . anchor now on . the inclusion of the new text in the treaties could lead to legal confusion . furthermore , the rapporteur is echoes of the new theory of vogue in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union 's citizens , represented by the european parliament , and the united states , represented by the council . : the swedish and danish social democrats have today voted against the report presented by oliver duhamel on the constitutionalisation of the treaties . for that reason it is essential that the european union will have a constitution which includes the charter of fundamental rights . a constitution only makes sense if we see the democratic framework of a genuine european federation , the united states of europe . told us having believed estimation , according to a large part of the political class , that we would prefer to our international relations are rigieran by an international treaty . . ( it ) i welcome mr duhamel because it makes a useful and constructive contribution to the idea of the constitutionalisation of the treaties . we believe that a reorganization of the treaties and their simplification would enable people to do with the competence of the eu and its limits - and the procedures to exercise these powers . clarity - until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe was a supersindicato intergovernmental . the edd group voted against the report presented by josé maría gil-robles gil-delgado on enhanced cooperation . this report shows , in fact , the concept of a union , where all the partnerships should be expressed within the single institutional framework and all should be directed towards the goal of super-state . muy monolithic " " where it is therefore necessary to avoid reducing the launch of the package and , therefore , to allow some member states to move , developing the mechanism of closer cooperation . structures for which govern the operation of the internal market have been coronadas by success since the beginning of the 1990s . . ( nl ) the european cooperation can be useful for resolving cross-border problems . wetlands could pose a formidable laboratory in terms of sustainable development . the technocrats , european judges , have sought to delete that " the rate of quay ' , which seeks to our municipalities of the french overseas departments and , above all , protects our craftsmen . resources france , on your side , owns overseas departments of the indian ocean and the caribbean . its independence will be an essential element for the credibility of this body . our vote has been clarified , therefore , the role of the composition of the future european food authority , but also described our demands on their funding and its independence . secondly , the european agency to be completely independent . we must take account of the kind of agricultural methods and agro-industrial , the problem of imports of food , the composition of the ingredients in animal feed , maximum levels for pesticide residues in food additives and other technical , giving priority to food safety . dioxins and of goods we voted in favour of amendment no 15 , since we are defending vigorously the defence of europe 's cultural heritage linked to the local food production . i would like to make two requests . evocations , to my colleagues in the committee on agriculture who tabled around 30 amendments . we also want placing a 50 % of appropriations in the budget line and another 50 % in reserve . i note here that there are proposals to reduce the budget . report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the draft general budget of the european union for the year 2001 - section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) madam president , my name appears as signatory of several amendments to this report . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) the real astonishment from this budget relates to external actions which dominates the selfishness and meanness . it is also possible resources available through the use of instruments for flexibility . . ( el ) i voted against the haug report , the same way i voted in favour of my group 's proposal to reject the budget for 2001 . we refer in particular to the new pilot project which originate from prosecution information in terms of combating paedophilia . this surely demonstrates the poor motivation which invokes the project of european union , even amongst the citizens politically active . in this way , a 20 to 30 % of the markets will provide a new competition with private . given that this is not guaranteed through this report , i voted against it ; with the unacceptably low thresholds , which diezman subsidies - in combination with the ceiling of withdrawals at 5 % for the citrus fruits and vegetables , which is pudrirán in camps and in the dealerships of cooperatives , there is no chance of market , with the consequent reduction in prices . this gives farmers will be forced to grubbing-up of their crops . 8.5 % for apples and pears , and to 10 % for the rest of fruit and hortalizas- , makes it clear that , for huge quantities of converted at national reductions proposed general irremisiblemente i voted in favour of this report , because it is up to the expectations of the sector , which have a modification of the com in fruit and products hortícolas by him profoundly lesiva for national interests . organisations portuguese hortofrutícula reminded us drastic report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) the root of the problem lies in the sacrifice of everything , even in the quality of environmental and climate protection , on the altar of capitalist exploitation of productive resources and of the obtaining of maximum profits . in kyoto , it was agreed that the richer countries undertook to maintain its clean air , although it may also registering of limited form in their own emissions produced in other parts that have helped to reduce list of results . . ( fr ) in combating the greenhouse effect is an element of vital importance for industrialised countries , and especially a duty towards the peoples of the third world that have already paid with their lives consequences of global warming . the art of live consists of convivir sensibly with these risks and uncertainties . they must be guaranteed and encouragement efforts to establish exactly what sort of substances suspected of being endocrine disrupters - to e . the same way . the consumers and smes are not sufficiently benefiting from the internal market , which is complemented by introducing the euro . after all , the banks are forced to date by the member states to inform its central bank cross-border payments which exceed eur 12 500 , with a view to the statistics relating to the balance of payments . of course , it calls on the same stringent prudential standards in the area of economic and money-laundering . these firms we know cases in which the charges for cross-border transfers have increased after the introduction of the euro , and not just in a smaller-scale . even the european central bank could contribute applying a format of data unified european in payment transactions , as well as for the use of a identification code banking unitary at european level within the international system iban . it is crucial that consumers will accept the euro . madam president , the report by mrs peijs , relating to payments of little value in the internal market , incorporates the former vindication of the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border transfers within the union . the peijs report what it says in recital d of the draft resolution . it will quote : " the high level of expenditure in connection with cross-border transfers are harmful to restore consumer confidence in the euro ' . so we have a great deal still needs to be done in this area , but the resources and means with which we politicians in this respect are much smaller than the existing in connection with this issue of payments in the internal market . the euro will constitute an internal market , and the citizen does not mean that , in this area in which the risks of change and the means of payment via the internet , will be utilised to everyday life , a transfer from munich to salzburg becomes much more costly than a transfer from munich to kiel . electronic banking market in the future disappearing the realization of this objective we will still have many years of work for us and for you . it is on that occasion too , we will check the objective of reducing the deadline for cross-border transfers , issue on which it has been stressed in the report by mrs peijs . effecting the debate is closed . however seems a good policy on preferring a pragmatic approach and that puts the small business at the heart of the device , more than a proposal which , under the pretext of prevent small steps desultory , only serve to create statistics whose use concretely would be entirely impossible . proximity however , i would like to make three comments on this programme . let us remember that the first programme of community action in this area was adopted in 1983 , i.e. for 17 years . similarly , i have always been in favour of this to be supported in a policy efficiently and pragmatic . i would say that they are real economic commandos and innovation , in the front line and are exposed to risks that this entails . after all we must bear in mind the results of the work of the symposium " and " which took place last week in brussels under the aegis of the centre of technology foresight in seville , as well as the monitoring of this symposium , since there are many interference with the issue we are discussing today . sciences government the rapporteur lists a number of priorities in order to strengthen the european business climate . this is very convenient for europe , because it can provide help speedily , appropriate and technically correct . mr president , i too would like to echo the congratulations she has received the mrs montfort on his excellent work . it is important to strike the right balance , to avoid a situation continual of people who fail to expense of others . this is not fair and , therefore , support this report . this is also the guiding principle behind the charter for small businesses . the programme will do everything necessary to ensure that networks offer this information . it is obvious that fundamental objective of the plan is to limit the exodus towards countries of the european union , as well as repatriate to few people staying illegally in the european union . i stress the need to take measures aimed at improving the internal security , the reinforcement of the dialogue between europeans and local authorities , and , with regard to the commission and council , the impulse of specific actions in collaboration with the albanian authorities italian and hellenic . albanian particularly the situation in social , economic and social policy in combination with the disrespect or with the inadequate legal certainty and organised crime lead uncontrolled migration massive . deficient mr president , i disagree with mrs pack , i think that the more groups will deal with albania better . it is clear that it is not possible to find an immediate solution to all of this problem , but in a period not very long , it will create a world reasonably fair , safe and with prospects . there is also a chasm between donors , all of us in europe , the united states , we give money , formulate projects and similar issues , and the same people who is on the ground . let us be clear and legal proceedings , time and place of residence , the salary , 11.30 p.m. , working conditions and social security , so that they can force the service of the economies of our countries and to help friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to grow and nationalist aspirations of the time of the cold war . therefore , bilateral agreements so setting itself as a immigrants it repatría people who have been integrated fashion . the point of modes of curb the influx of migrants and refugees , but how to improve the living conditions of the region so that people can remain in their homes . attention must not lie in mr president , i too believe that , as has rightly been said by mr dimitrakopoulos , with regard to the difficulties of albania - economic , social and internal security - the subject of help this country to restore the rule of law , to give security to the citizens and to restore the authority of the institutions and the local authorities . remains fundamental i share the opinion of the fellow-commissioner mr liese that we need a burden sharing in the field of asylum and refugee policy . the action plan for albania and the neighbouring region was adopted in june this year , and it is therefore the sixth of the series . it imposes a frustration , but also the surprise before the european union law , and we want to appeal to this parliament , but also to the other european institutions , not to shrink back to the efforts of the thorough work , accurately and made available for this time is needed and assistants are needed . attaching to ratos with this report we want to send a message that we take seriously the complaints about the poor quality of legislation and on the suprarregionalización and centralization . citizens it is in itself a matter of course , although one would not say so judging by the clinging assistance to discuss in more detail on this issue . pretty important ; another issue milligrammes of vital importance is that the report raises the question of subsidiarity , which to some extent it is polemic this evening in this house . it would also be interesting to see them a study of the current situation of the legislation in light of this principle , to make it simpler , more transparent , more efficient and more germane , deshaciéndose of texts , as you urges that paragraph 6 of this report . superfluous after having studied the report in great detail , i have reached the conclusion that it is not even a political principle : it is a principle theological . in other words , we must ensure recognition of the principle of subsidiarity also communities are smaller , realities of the autonomous communities , to the social partners , to the families and citizens who are the only real sovereign an action legislative and administrative . cores intermediate , cores allow me , therefore , provide an overview of synthesis . i shall give the floor to mr monti . this is an area where we have to intervene and produce a detailed legislation which ensures that it must be regarded as a voluntary agreement which will be implemented and monitored ? implantará everywhere , or alternative ? - ( de ) i voted in favour of the report , although i did not secured the adoption of amendments , because it concerns the issue of the high cost of change and of transfers in the euro zone when fifteen months we have , indeed , the same coins and notes in the eleven member states , it will be more expensive to draw this money uniform outside the country in which they live . inside mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must start by regretting that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , cannot be here today . it must be an agreement which advancing cooperation in fisheries and the moroccan fishing sector , but we also fully meets the fishing interests of european fleets . consequently , we have reached a consensus to work from the perspective of a cooperated responsibly , after which morocco setting out its views at a meeting which , as you pointed out , will be held in brussels on 30 october , in other words , monday . a few weeks ago , i myself was in algeciras , in the coastline southeastern spaniard . it is very far away from morocco . the time , in its mercy , we enseñó that apart from un-user-friendly could become impossible . scientifically-researched fisheries agreements the eu can exert fishing activities and exchange fishing rights with third countries . i read in a magazine swedish-language specialized in fishing that one of these ships landed their burden on the aaiún , described as a port moroccan . all this is at stake are under threat in all our fisheries agreements , not only with morocco because they are also mauritania and very soon , among others . guinea . eleven months has been late in arriving at the turning point on which we , the meeting of the day , in this respect , we also know estimating the latest measures taken by commissioner fischler , the results of the last day 26 to morocco and the interviewing of high-level illustrated , even with the actual king . 30 and its journey but i would like to convey to the commission , worthily represented today by commissioner busquin , messages very brief . my question to the commission is : if we do not get an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is being held in those terms , an agreement to stimulate production moroccan , does the commission intend to take structural measures to compensate for the delay which will happen in the regions affected ? highlighted by the commission as did the difficulties in negotiation with the moroccan authorities have been extremely large . - finally , in the event that the negotiations fail , the european union has the political and moral duty to support the fishermen and the owners with aid satisfactory that they insured means of subsistence . undesired we must dismantle the over-capacity of the fishing industry of the eu . that is why we need as quickly as possible tighten economic and political relations with marruecossin disservice to the imposition of our european interests in fisheries . that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new cooperation aimed at a development which is of interest to both sides and allow the one hand , integral development of the moroccan fishing sector , the fleet , aquaculture , processing and research , and on the other hand , the granting of fishing opportunities for european fishermen . bundling disenfranchisement of teachers of languages " not only in germany there is a clear distinction between both formulations . in july 1999 , the commission drove this infringement proceedings before the court of justice . therefore , at least that can be achieved harmonize systems - something we cannot allow it to be done through the discrimination that , in all likelihood , is the request for a privilege . we hope - today , the principle of subsidiarity perhaps we can accept that the outgoing commission under the leadership of mr santer were not the best , that is why it is disbanded . members of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market and all the parties have to say that it does not talk about human rights , whether in cases in which he is refusing to certain persons are not effective action taken to be recognised and applied , and this is the problem in this case . juridicos across the union concentrated , support letters of real rights this is completely unacceptable in a modern europe . of course , especially , because i come from a federal state - the subsidiarity principle of cooperation in the european union and to which the distribution of competences between the different levels of europe is orderly according to the subsidiarity principle in the field of education falls within the subsidiarity principle , but in the context of contracts , freedom of movement of workers and the prohibition on discrimination us concern to everyone , even though we favourable - and i should like computer princio as quickly as possible . in this context , can no longer talk about discrimination . mr president , do you would be dealt with by a very familiar with the terms in english , french , german or italian , surgical by a surgeon ? ( the sitting was closed at 11.30 p.m. ) 10.56 . we want you our deepest sympathy . i give the floor to mr ceyhun , which is expressed in my capacity as rapporteur , on behalf of the socialists . when it comes to the council and commission statements on the third asiaeurope meeting , the council has informed us that it wishes to speak at the moment . therefore , is an issue which - according to the treaties and , according to the euratom treaty , is the responsibility of the commission ; it affects , or can affect many citizens who are not alone in this area and in their area , without there being any contingency plan , there are hundreds of thousands of europeans corners of the fifteen countries of the european union , apart from many coming from outside , because it is the coast of sunshine . spaniards because , on madam president , it is unfortunate , but very illustrative deaf via the minister for internal spanish , mr oreja , that there is no chance of dialogue with basque nationalists , even if in future arose a new truce . biggest i request that we take account of this week a affirmation of the committee on the british government 's decision to introduce a tribute to discriminatory nature to hauliers from nationality does not british . as liberals , we europeans are tending increasingly to aligning with forces of uninspired racist , xenophobic , despotic , i think this is a serious risk not only for italy , but is a sign that affects the whole of europe . parties so-called even however , in the report also contains critical observations with regard to the french proposal . these demands are contained in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the report by mrs karamanou . the initiative of the french presidency that we are examining today is aimed at improving the two general conventions on mutual assistance in criminal matters - i have just mentioned - especially in the area of combating money laundering . i can only say that if the idea of the fight against money laundering is adversely , will the council and not the fault of the european parliament . we can only congratulate you on this work . marinho - and i also agree - the path is the communitarised . all those who have spoken coincide on suggestion is invaluable and we support his comments . what we need is urged to give europol operational capacity for action to cross-border cooperation . it is too long in europe should therefore lend my support to a furor of mutual recognition of judgments , i would like existed a recognition of a joint standards outdated . cases joint-action our present before hurried . i understand that it is very difficult because here we must build on the basis of a dispersal of instruments . but it is also a need in order to strengthen the economic area of the european union , and it is also a desire for citizens , to whom we have to reflect , because the citizens of the union have a right to security . in the european union , we must continue to fight against money laundering , knowing that , especially after the introduction of the single market and the liberalization of capital and financial services , it imposes a police and judicial cooperation between member states , as efficient as possible . decisively pursuing an firmly-established as consultant for financial authorizing anything to suppose that the lawyer , as such , is not exercising their profession . similarly , i would like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the question raised by a number of honourable members about the conditions in which the confidentiality of the legal professions may constitute a repudiations based on cooperation in the field of justice in the fight against money laundering . this is true , particularly in the event of serious crimes , crimes of the special seriousness and the cross-border issues . overall , the task is so great and so important that cannot be played solely by the council . so we need to strengthen the rights of citizens adopting an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly with regard to its right of interpretation and its power to decide whether or not . therefore , while am able to express my support for increased cooperation and coordination , i believe that make it a legal system would be wrong , and we will oppose it . the second point is also interesting . this is something positive and it is pleasing to note that it has both support in this parliament . i will use this as several members raised issues very sensitive to tell you quite frankly , as has just pointed out by mr coelho , which seems to be a first step which shows the political will of the council of overcoming the delay in the field of judicial cooperation , with regard to police cooperation . oportunidad- this initiative foremost for which we regard it as well as an important instrument for guaranteeing the judicial supervision of europol . the programme on research in the area of fisheries , agriculture and the agro-industria sat on the fourth framework programme on research should be widened from 1994 to 1998 . fair ; with regard to the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that we have established some problems which relate to the organisation of the programme . the court of auditors ' report on the programme , which is based on the report by the rapporteur will not be issued until march this year , although the letters of sector was sent to the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . fair ; on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to highlight several points . you emphasised , and i thank you , spirit within which drew up this report , thanks to the dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission services and the interest which you shed . this shows that the commission has not disappeared inactive and which led to the comments which you have asked effect . i now turn to the question that mrs cresson . thank you , commissioner . this prize will be handed over the asociation ' enough is enough ' at the december council meeting next . i am deeply convinced it will also opens the constitution-building process which this house has demanded many times and with such insistence , although some heads of state and government do not want to acknowledge that . - i am particularly happy to stand before you today to discuss in detail as is the charter of fundamental rights of the european union , before you take the final position on this project a beautiful text . for my part , i have no doubt that this time will be presented . true , however , that have been able to make some criticisms regarding the content of the charter . i think it is a position taken important and we welcome . for the european parliament was a great success achieved - and we stand together in this area , which is a positive outcome to the european parliament were represented by 16 meps in the convention on fundamental rights . groups the charter is , in my view , a great challenge and may become the presentation of europe , as i indicated a major european newspaper in a office-holder on 26 september 2000 . card is being presented my group therefore continues to believe that it is absolutely vital to include a reference to the letter in paragraph 2 of article 6 of the treaty . there are many who thought that europe was ultimately the possibility of extricate ourselves from the single free trade area and the treadmill liberal to lay the foundations for a europe of citizens . estates in the european summit in nice in december , civil society has chose to make its voice heard and proclaiming its desire for a charter which offers genuine guarantees for citizens of europe . mobilised that is why , in addition , it is important for there to be effective , compliments on a daily basis - every day - by all member states and by all political forces 314th signatures political undertakings then let us be glad we are holding this great event which is a major event vacuo . lloremos or dearer ; the convention has produced an excellent job . these are the same time the rights of individuals , the citizen 's rights , but also social rights . the right to good administration , which also mrs malmström , is one of the most significant progress . referred yet i am not sure , because i had no news about the extent to which the lebreles from mr blair to talk to the distinctive in favour of this project . brilliant , kith freedom the last time , you spoke of the half-empty glass of water or half full . but the council of cologne , assisted by the premises , which has played its role of sembrador of confusion , finished by making it clear to everyone that this is a matter for national parliaments and that the latter are being under-utilised , to be displaced progressively . mindful of wonderment a surplus of protection in terms of fundamental rights is just as bad as a democratic deficit . when one listens to the speeches made by some members are aware of that information is more necessary than ever . the big question that now divides us is what the point of this charter . therefore , once again we are disappointed and dissatisfied . incidentally , be voting in favour of the charter , but that does not achieve this enthusiasm and involvement of citizens , so necessary for europe and , as usual , the governments - and some governments than others - to shoulder the historic responsibility in this spirit of mobilise patentable . according to the co-rapporteur , mr duff , it is an important step towards improving the quality of european integration . for those who need it , i recommend that you read the explanations of the convention and the case law of the two courts associated with the charter . 49 mr president , i have long been of those who are hesitant . the first time since the creation of the european union , we are faced with the foundations of a constitution , a constitution for a supranational structure that shapes the union . the demonstration is in favour of a social and democratic europe , in favour of a europe of citizens . the draft charter could serve as an interesting debate on the future of the collaboration between the peoples of europe for the parties , unions , environmental organisations , churches and many other groupings of member states and candidate countries , at the moment , the text of the union . i would like to highlight three points which my colleagues have raised here in the course of this morning . the letter that today we are going to adopt both heightens as fundamental rights , common values on which will well-founded our community . recognisably publicizes i am , of course , audits and to those who wish to include a reference to the letter and its integration into the treaties . post-licensing in article 6 we have seen the case of bernard connolly whose paper on the commission was withdrawn from circulation by order of the court of first instance . critically-minded this is important from the point at which the european union must establish the legal status , in terms of human rights and obligations of the natural from third countries who are legally resident in the european union . synthesis so i am concerned , i am convinced , along with him that , on the one hand , uniquely and immediate effects of which , moreover , bind shortly . in this debate , i have heard formulae hard-edged : the charter would be a bonemeal for the dog - the european parliament or the taparrabo of renuncias of a french presidency moribunda , mainly in the form of bringing the igc . dog this is the reason which led to our parliament to propose the establishment of a euro-turkish forum , assembling in an in-depth analysis of the turkish community and the meps who have received the mandate . lobbyists to highly-qualified it has been a great tempted to establish a position to sort out the granting of loans to turkey , but , as regards this report , there was no technical options for this . seudodemocrático once raised this , i know of course that turkey 's candidacy keeps provoking questions . the wish of the presidency is that this project will be rapidly adopted on 20 november by the council 's general affairs ' and ' , as already indicated , respecting the decisions taken at helsinki , if possible , in fact , near very precise . however , remains valid what demonstrates very clearly the commission in its report on progress made in the path to accession : turkey , like all the other candidate countries , must meet the copenhagen criteria as part of the process of rapprochement . the president sezar expressed very clearly in his speech to the turkish parliament 's last month , including in terms of turkey no alternative but to follow this path of reform . i fully endorse the words of mr turco . why thank you for your attention . here too we have made some positive signs slightly . we are going to oppose the attempts of some of them , of derail the balance that the report employer-employee successfully , in particular amendments which seek to make the european parliament a court . over-ambitious , rather espúreos it is a clear , as is evident that turkey will , as will any civilised society , which apply to the idea of confront their past , by a very horrible that this has been bluff . turkey 's accession on this basis and not just in view of the united states of the european union and would be a significant step towards a united europe . strategic considerations or nato enriquecería it is not already that just a small part of the turkish territory is part of the european continent ? we shall therefore be voting against this report , as we have voted against all the reports aimed at bringing turkey closer to the european union . the harm in that awakened in turkey the prospect of a no-side should , however , it will not keep due to the political situation . hinges primarily report ( a5-0310 / 2000 ) by mrs langenhagen , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , on the special report no 9 by the court of auditors on the actions of research in the field of agriculture and fisheries programme ( ' fisheries accepted & agro-industrial research ' , accompanied by the commission 's answers ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ] ; fair , / 99 ) i welcome this report and i shall vote in favour of it . instead of elevate human rights and social rights , facilitate transactions aimed at degraded your level . there is no doubt that it be the prelude to a future european constitution which in turn , will the coronación of progress in the european union in the federalización where , as part of the few and all the main aim is to serve the interests of capital monopoly of the european union , at the expense of employees ' interests and , in general , of peoples . legislada , decisions will be over-mighty apply their final destination . a case typical features in article 2-2 , " no one can be sentenced to death penalty , nor executed " . nowhere is it says , in spite of our requests , which consists of a man and woman who educan around sons , nor that constitutes the nucleus of society . family insofar as that nobody has chosen to judges , this represents a reduction in the democratic government . we certainly have preferred to hurt directly integrated into our european treaties ! however , i abstained in the final vote , because i believe that certain social rights are formulated in a way less franc which economic rights . the commission 's original idea convention was to have a text consensual enabling the fifteen governments turning it into mandatory by means of its incorporation into the treaties . in reality , the fight against social exclusion is relegated to the rank of assistance , instead of imposing the requirement of elementary human rights binding for employers and for the member states . for my part , i am convinced that the secularism is valuable cultural subconscious and topical . also lacks the homework social linked to ownership . obviously , this document is not the right to be binding , as it is not a legal text . members of the irish government have raised questions about whether the irish identity and mr ahern , while the accession of the eu as a fundamental to its economic success , it resistió firmly opposed to any move swiftly on to a federal europe more -centralizada- so much on what the majority of europeans want - are ready to aceptar- today . threat brussels recently stated ireland prosperity and designate adivinen which of these was pronounced . i note in passing that over the course of this part-session , a total of seven reports are generated by national initiatives , which shows that this system , where they exist , is basically very productive . these measures are urgently needed to combat this phenomenon , which has not bothered to develop and internacionalizarse . pro-active through this initiative , the french presidency intends to adopt a framework for the approximation of legislation and criminal procedures ( for example , tracing , freezing and confiscating funds ) . concerning money laundering all member states must undesirable money laundering as a criminal offence punished as with a minimum penalty of four years ' imprisonment . as money laundering acquires vast proportions over the world , it is obvious that europol should have powers to combat it with a view to devise a european strategy in the field of police and judicial cooperation . i welcome the report by mrs roure another initiative by the french presidency : this time aiming to intensify cooperation in the field to ensure that they are not put obstacles in order to prevent the extradition of criminals jailed for money laundering or other crimes related to involve the use of funds . illicit legal madam president , this is the only report that i did not support . it would be the first member geographically linked with asia and with a great tradition nineteen-year-old muslim . this applies especially at this stage in which increasing use of eib funds but without shielding completely economic risks which we take . in this context i would stress the basic conclusion article 22 which says that turkey does not fulfil the copenhagen political criteria , and i note the amount of condemnations of its actions and its omissions in the field of human rights , democratic freedoms and its behaviour as well as the recommendations on the european parliament in this country to reach to european values . injure themselves from international mr president , we worries about the fact that there is heard in recent days comprehending persistence in this direction by the press or of the turkish personalities , but rather there is an attempt reaction . nicosia is today , twelve years after the fall of the berlin wall , the only european capital divided . that does not complied with even in a sufficient degree and that turkey must continue to perseverando in their efforts . morillon- mr president , mr president-in-office , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i wish to speak in this debate in my capacity as rapporteur for the accession of cyprus . mr president , we cannot vote in favour of the morillon report because we are sure that , contrary to what it says , and many people in turkey as expected , the accession process will not improve the lives of ordinary people . but , at the same time , i think we should not pintarse situation too black . therefore , there is no link between the two internally . euro-mediterranean conferences in marseille mr brok , who joined us , wondered precisely for the delays incurred by the negotiation . we europeans , we have a experience that opportunity . in reality , because it is not just as in 1995 , to restore a balance in the countries of eastern europe , but also to prepare for the future enlargement of the union . xenophobia , and other forms of terrorism also form part of this compulsion and i hope that we will have an opportunity to resolve the situation here too . state terrorism this is a fact that face us . but in this respect we have to be candid once more . all this means acknowledge what sacking the results achieved to date , despite the fact that the answers , in my opinion , there are still not up to the situation , although i must say that five years are not many for processes complex . that is why i believe that the debate we are discussing today may serve to take stock of the importance of this policy for the entire union . it is not that all these needs compete among themselves , but to find new money . the meshing of violence in the middle east , war and violence against the palestinian people , to which israel continues to refuse to be a state , threaten the future of the entire region . unleashed with determination mr president , as well as in the european union has to find a balance between the deepening and widening , in marseille should achieve a balanced relationship between its role and its mediterranean european responsibility . nice however , where that leads to characterized by the fact that there has been ministerial meetings with representatives of the palestinian authority , syria , lebanon , etc. and is , perhaps , a scant consolation . the idea that we must go further by the continuity of the process , those days of five years of barcelona process dear colleagues presence of israel , for the simple there are many problems that affect the euro-mediterranean region : illegal immigration , poverty , the foreign debt , human rights , drought and terrorism , which mercilessly destroyed the life of human beings and families , as we are experiencing in spain in algeria or in the near east . commons today innocent tragically we are prepared to creerles , but southern countries need more than promises or speeches : we corresponds atenderlos . europe has not made any policy on desertion or water as a mediterranean countries and we must think about doing an environmental policy , that being so , the logical and even the climatic diversity of the mediterranean . understands the mediterranean the current proposals are far more balanced . now , the agency for kosovo . we must not disappoint their expectations and now more than ever , all these countries need our help . i conclude by saying that the words of the commission - that these two proposals form the cornerstone of a process which must lead to those countries which have been and are so many problems can be fully integrated into european structures . universal we must concentrate on a few people in a director , if you prefer , so that a person assumes the fiscal responsibility vis-à-vis the body that selected the specific programmes . liability or i would like to thank all my colleagues who have considered it important that objective and i am pleased that in future we can provide added to these countries in this context , too , in terms of content , therefore , to . i read in some news concerning elections bosnias that the ultranacionalistas had won parliamentary elections in bosnia and herzegovina . the european union - yourselves what - participated with determination to contribute to these historic changes . the examination of the reports on the proposals for regulations relating to the framework programme , and the other , to the reconstruction agency gives us the chance to return on the scale of the support which the european union wants to grant the western balkans in order to accompany the stabilisation and association agreement . westendorp and lagendijk , one the victory long-overdue of democracy in croatia , certainly in the federal republic of yugoslavia , counts , as we all know , the european union go much further . question time ( council ) as they deal with similar subjects , questions nos 2 and 3 : it will be taken together . just unbureaucratically parties to a new period of four months - the resolution 1324- to endeavour to make progress on both these fronts . i would ask you what the situation is the association agreement with morocco . - ( fr ) the stability and development caucasus represent one of the strategic priorities of the union . with regard to the discussions with turkey , are departing from a major debate on this issue and you know exactly positions of the european union in this regard . i just want to return to insist that this proposed legislation directed against those who exploit and benefit from people who are in a desperate situation and not seeks to criminalise the immigrant or the immigrant potential . minister not only will require laws , but also for measures to encourage the debate and to raise awareness . i believe that we must fight against these crimes by all means , absolutely all means , and i note that both the council of the union as the united nations general assembly , in my view , the turkish government , are prepared to do so . effectively in any event , measures were taken precisely because the other 14 countries the desaprobaban . i shall give you an example of this morning in my country , france - and here i am speaking in my capacity as president-in-office came to power a party to the extreme right wing , i would like to see some of my country 's measures were taken out against austria : if the day against nature . for my part , i wanted to talk about values of our texts , spoke of values such as it were reaffirmed in the charter of fundamental rights and talked specifically about the fight against all forms of discrimination , which is included in the introduction of the european texts . that is what we must do . seven-day : i spoke values as laid down in migrants i would remind you that this political dialogue , which is to hand-in-hand with future accession partnership , one of the elements of the pre-accession strategy for turkey defined in this connection . question no 12 by ( h-0850 / 00 ) : we are working on that and this is without doubt , the way we shall proceed . with this is why we must acknowledge that the moroccan side has not responded to the supply community-related . this is the people of scotland , where , after 110 days of detention , any person accused of a crime should be judged or for their release and can never again acusarla of this crime . do we have taken specific measures ( for example , security of supply , energy-efficient ) if the economies of the member states are resientan fewer crises on the external policies ? what are the measures and the council 's priorities short- and medium-term as regards the energy efficiency and saving energy ? the union 's position on the extraterritorial measures enacted by the united states has not changed . finally , it reminded me of the european union took note with concern the comments made on the ground for the agencies and programmes in the united nations and , therefore , deploraba negative consequences and often dramatic 's economic embargo for the cuban people . do not understand the council that it is a highly political issue and we cannot observe the same distances versus the victim and to priest ? on the one hand , this fbo covered by the commission 's decision to decentralize , and the other hand it can submit results exceptional in the work . they do not respect borders . it is our duty to combat illegal activities trans-border , whether of drug trafficking , cooperation criminal or trafficking in human beings . it would be right that the commissioner patten , who has a great deal of experience - not to call it - in the management of international crises , outside the headquarters of this office visits he has done in various regions of the balkan region , which would thessaloniki to see how this works service . wisdom alongside but this region , the most competitive region of europe , has never been so full of hope as today . turbulent first of all , i would like to thank the house for their excellent and expeditious consideration of the drafts of regulations . i would like to congratulate the rapporteurs of the relevant committees : firstly his . we also obtained immediate results in serbia , where the commission , in the course of only four weeks , drew up a programme of emergency aid to the value of eur 200 million . naturally , we can also accept the proposal that the directive which adopts the commission mirroring the search for greater efficiency underlined in our reforms . i hope that parliament understands the reasoning behind the proposals presented in may and we will continue to work constructively on this difficult and complex issue , but i cannot give my support to the european parliament 's amendment to delete the requirement of unanimity , because it cannot be reconciled with the opinion of the college of quaestors with each other . the challenge for the third summit seoul was deepening the asem process for both participants governmental and for the wider public . in the field of the relationship between peoples , related to the previous speaker , remained open up the process of asem to a greater segment of civil society , although the initiative of the ngo forum was not possible to carry out because of the opposition of certain participants asiatic . the principle of establishing a social from this point of view we are pleased that has been held the gothenburg summit and that barring one or two exceptions all heads of state above it . seoul we even have adopted two concrete proposals , namely a round-table conference on globalisation and the duo , 4.3 fellowships by a value of eur 25 million dollars . fellowship program the commission 's communication is limited to deal with aspects relating to powers which correspond to the community and the member states in tasks arising from the turnout at the same . if we are assuming that all the coastal states that there are few who have the potential for economic , legal , political dialogue with the european union , you will understand the extent to which we must ask ourselves what our responsibilities . legislature and that consideration in the world the reform of the cfp is important , but achieving suitable reforms is even more important . i am thinking of the many fish stocks migratory flows . we are all aware of it throughout the european union and even beyond its borders . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , first of all i should like to thank you for your support our efforts to foster and strengthen the community 's participation in regional fisheries organisations . but in this area have already achieved some progress , we need to adjust the timetable . indeed , the constant improvement in productivity in the generates a growth of supply and whether it should be accompanied by an extension to infinity the apparatus of production , occur again , inevitably , a strong market imbalance . criaderos already it would be much more appropriate to instead of that each of pigs are by their own booking . so , each criador of pigs would have its own piggy bank . criador any form it also concerns the need to encourage producers ' organisations , whose implantation differs greatly from one member state to another . organisations of markets , as they have worked so far , fomentaban the process of concentration instead of prevented . in this case the economic globalisation becomes a trap , and this has nothing to do with crisis cyclical . all criador , regardless of where they can find in the european union , will fall under this mechanism . mr president , commissioner , the rapporteur for this report , mr garot , has dealt with objectivity and with very precisely this commission proposal on the creation of funds for the sector pig feed . it is a matter of balance . in this respect , i must say , however , that our colleague mr garot arrives at another conclusion and i , too , can i say yes , i can agree with the commission 's proposal as it stands , but let us be honest , i really do not feature in it the essence of the problem . pre-hardly almost i shall now comment on the idea of involving the plant-growers specialized in piglets in the proposed system , as formulated in amendments nos 7 and 13 . this being so , what do we have been tabled by the commission ? firstly , it examines the budgetary implementation and the management practices of the budget within the blocks . the court reiterates , therefore , your comments on the negative consequences of these practices , for example , the decision-making process unsatisfactory and jumping to conclusions , the risk of making mistakes which represents the heavy burden on labour , etc. in previous years . the tragic events of recent past has shown , without a shadow of doubt , the growing importance of the issues of management and control of the european agenda . this amounts to penalise member states conscious and reward financially to the less scrupulous . in this context , i too would like very briefly to the improvement of the overall management of aid in the field of foreign policy is a central aspect of the work of the commission , both as regards the restructuring of this whole area as well as from the point of view of the need to reduce more fully and rapidly , which in the high burden of late payments . institution- the european parliament is now in an extremely difficult , given that this year - in the month of enero- that was not prepared to accept that the clearance of accounts for the 1999 financial year by remain littered with serious errors . prospect declared i would like to address a number of problems and i hope mr karlsson ratifiable today to answer my questions . we must have more and more numerals on facts . i want to see if this is possible to ensure that we begin to assess the work of the directoratesgeneral . this year already we all know of course that the commission is introducing changes . this will reduce the level of mistakes . therefore , both now and in future , we will judge the commission depending on the implementation of the rules . firstly , let me thank mr karlsson that cooperation with the committee on budgetary control on this occasion has been much better than in previous years . furthermore , i would like to ask you to publish a classification of countries that are the worst record of maladministration in the eu and in what fields . madam president , i too would like to express my sincere thanks to the court of auditors on his report , as well as by political assessment that we calf-processing yesterday in the committee on budgetary control . there is resaltaron once more efforts to introduce reforms and they need . it is necessary to include what i said before mrs van der laan , and here we agree entirely . it may be necessary to give more powers to the president of the court to take decisions concerning the working methods of the court and the way in which it carries out their communications . rates vary from one state to another , as well as its composition . in its work on the common agricultural policy , the special report on arable crops , the court ruled that from 1993 to 1997 community budget paid a larger amount to eur 13 billion more than it would have been reasonable . it was more important i do not make questions to which it is impossible to meet . the court of auditors must also change its working methods . there is always something to celebrate . this report was approved by a large majority in parliament 's committee on environment and , therefore , i will defend parliament 's vote on that committee . the second point concerns the ban on exports of which is so much has sang before . that is why i have to say that i have serious reservations about this provision and prefer it to be rejected . in a second or a third reading , we need the famous 314 votes and certainly not the succeed with a report which has now been submitted . the commission has begun to take interim measures , but liking , in this direction and perhaps the commissioner could tell us something more about this when he responds to the debate . we are showing our agreement with the rapporteur when he stresses the importance of consumer information about the risks and on transparency , particularly in the health and safety . i think it is better to bear in mind the subsidiarity principle . however , i remember a large-scale discussion we had with my daughter elisabetta when i was nine-year and asked me to go singlepage by the street . we need to guarantee consumer protection undividedly , without duplicate provisions or they are even being contradicted . i would also stress the importance of the amendments adopted by the committee on environment which enhance transparency with regard to the end consumer and that determine the responsibility not only of producers , but also of dealers in operations more recuperation of products deemed unsafe . this also means that when introducing this new sectoral legislation , it retrieval will replace the relevant provisions of this directive . many of the amendments tabled in the report represents an improvement in the document and , consequently , the commission can accept them . thirdly , amendment no 4 proposes to add , in a recital , the obligation for member states to draw up reports reasoned with cooperation between the institutions in public or private , competent and independent . despite the fact that the commission is in favour of cooperation and a common principles , the wording proposed goes against the principle of subsidiarity . the commission did not receive any complaints about the current wording and the amendments would weaken the provisions . amendments nos 39 and 44 propose to allow public access to information on dangerous products only when the decision to withdraw the product , and that the exchange of information protected by professional secrecy should not be possible between the authorities responsible for the surveillance of the market . delivers ban or mr martelli , as a rule not ask to speak until it has been completed the round of voting but , as an exception , i shall briefly give the floor immediately . arising report ( a5-0294 / 2000 ) by mrs eriksson , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the proposal for a council decision [ com ( 2000 ) 335 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 ( cns ) ) on the programme to the community framework strategy on gender equality between men and women ( 2001-2005 ) mr president , i wish to refer to the order of voting on the amendments relating to paragraph 10 - about the armenian genocide . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) liability is twofold : the governments of member states of the union and the governments of the mediterranean partners . this aid is more than justified in the light of the tragedy . the prohibition of night work for women was one of the few areas where the social legislation in some countries , which seeks to protect women , older age for women workers who for workers . i hope that in future the commission to submit every year , in due course , an assessment of the situation , thus creating the conditions necessary for the european parliament can examine and discuss the situation in more depth . for these reasons , regretfully , i voted against . it is important that our products are safe , but we should not exaggerate deploying extreme action . today the european agency for reconstruction of kosovo is governed by a board of management , in which each of the representatives of the member states and the commission has a vote , and in which decisions are taken by a majority of two-thirds . i believe that in the case of serbia the equivalent of algeria calls for kosovo . . ( da ) the danish social democrats have voted against the report that instaurará aid to producers swine at eu level . only , which , albeit with some opening-up of the french presidency , we know that the commission cannot accept these proposals and in the council does not seem to be a majority to approve them . a small variation in the supply-side enough to cause a crisis situation . mr president , the genocide of the armenians was the first in a series of massacres perpetrated over the 20th century , which can be regarded as the century of genocide . since sweden is not prepared to participate in a common military defence , but in the civil crisis management of crises , we cannot support paragraph 15 which ' welcomes the desire for turkey to contribute to improving the capacities of the european within the framework of the common european security and defence policy ( pecsd ) ' . but apart from the obligation for all europeans to know how difficult and painful turns out that some european countries have not done , it is important that these barbaric practices which lives on grounds ethnic , religious or cultural and that collide to universal conscience not any recurrence ever again . remembering that should be required to democracies and diversities - so difficult completely - destroyed it is certainly a different debate from today 's ; but , given the importance which for me looked-after turkey today , i wanted to emphasise this . thanks to which no longer be prevented from exercising their right to self-determination , peace has been done in those places where the civilian population . i voted in favour of the amendments calling for this recognition , today , to continue with this testimony and to recognise the pain of a people . guaranteed happened in times of osman empire . not only the jové peres report would bring this situation with regard to regional organisations and those who are being established , but i would like , moreover , integrity and stop the habit of the committee on recourse to the support of technicians from different member states . existing my remarks are valid , of course , to the matter before us today : the representation of the european community within the committee on regional fisheries organisations , but also apply to negotiations carried out , for example , in the context of the world trade organisation . my suggestion of union was supported by the then president of the council , mr absolutely , and the committee of the european parliament 's decision to unite three directives barely found opposition . quote an example : pvc represents 0.7 % of municipal waste incinerados . i conclude , mr president , saying that the ppe / de group is pleased with the work carried out in this third reading . mr president , i too would like to thank mr blokland for drawing up this important report . incineration does not mean recyclability . the report by an mep , mr blokland , which has now come to the third reading , has been for many of the members of the environment opting for the first time parliament 's first test of maturation , during which we have learned the proceedings of parliament . introducing more stringent limits for emissions of the new cement kilns for that coincineran waste , as mentioned by mrs evans . apart from the various national situations , we must therefore see , in all member states of the european union , a reduction in the general mandatory biometric risk cover , greater importance to the role of the so-called systems sickness insurance complementary and the exacerbation of discriminatory locational factors . pre-hardly it would , however , a proposal for a directive to include the following factors : ban the use of medical information from the genetic research , a key point ; the absence of examination of the run-up to the creation of an obligation to guarantee campaigns on the part of the insurer ; the asunción better coordinated than on compensation for people who work within the union and , finally , the creation of a mechanism to mediate . health subscription ; and moving around nominativa every time we purport to more positive with regard to the attention trans-boundary so that the action of the market is applied progressively to health care . the united states ' example for the free market economy , but we would be making a mistake enormous if the tomáramos as a model in the field of health policy . use to us very often . ' it would be a mistake that eu rules on , for example , health-related information or that exigieran being an assurance to everybody , thereby destroying the diversity of systems sickness insurance exists today and is in many countries and that work on principles actuarial . any later we saw that he had a way to be accommodated . what is at stake here is the health of all citizens of our member states and the cohesion of our territories . there is no coincidence that i face problems such as my origin dutchman . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , mr rocard urges the commission to define a green paper traits of the characteristic of a safe basics for the legal systems of insurance . it is a matter of particular concern . mr president , whom we have spent over the course of our life to the study of the social issues recalled that the old textbooks used to include a definition of social protection as a package of protection for attention to risks economically measurable , of naps individual or family and those individuals - oneness producers could not cater for themselves . state-based this means that we should think very carefully about the cause of the failure of medical care for public health . the sickness insurance complementary part of a legal system of agreements and services . with its attempt to eliminate discrimination on grounds of the state of health , mr rocard had killed the gooseflesh to eggs in gold . the commission intervene immediately in the context of its powers and try to respond to the conclusions of his report . i also hope that we approve the proposals to recognise that the rating and integration in professional life earn a particularly important , so that we should bear in mind the phenomenon of social exclusion and poverty despite the exercising of an increasingly important professional activity donation . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we too , from the perspective of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , we want to congratulate the rapporteur for his document . the next item is the next item is the commission communication on the commission 's recommendations on the opinion of the council on the updating of the stability programmes in germany , finland and holland . this has led us to reflect and to ask ourselves whether this stability and growth pact has run with the objective of a specific figure finalisation , or whether it is appropriate to introduce other aspects relating to the quality of public finances in the forthcoming programmes . quantitative dissimilar our message basics is , therefore , that the margin for making cuts allowances must be complemented by a strict control of public spending . i believe that viewed globally can draw a positive balance . that slackening in one of the larger countries of europe , which is also one of the most important for the european economy , i.e. , germany , is a risk of ending up entering a phase of sobrecalentamiento what seems of its economy . mr president , i would like to thank mr della vedova . i believe that you wished to us today refiriéramos to these two aspects : the topicality of the fight against bse in europe and their developments in france . we propose to the european commission to our partners in the union to prepare the extension of testing at european level , in accordance with scientific recommendations . thus , efficiency , independence and transparency will be the key principles that will guide slating the risk assessment food in europe . i shall return to this later . however , it is necessary to make these tests on a much wider scale . measures of surveillance , which include the tests are carried out in order to prevent infected animals for bse enter into chains food and animal feed . pro-active between the erratically , in such a situation in the fence , provided it is tempting to seek a solution , magic solution which , in one fell swoop , incarcerating risk and restore consumer confidence . i will ask the member states if there is the fear that gaps in the implementation of checks in recent years , against the community legislation in this area , are a factor in the current increase in the incidence of bse . monday however both things may be possible to act quickly and remain serious . are you depends suministrarlos quickly . this requirement is essential , particularly in relation to bse . our group calls for an immediate ban of meat and bone meal in animal welfare while the member states are unable to guarantee the drafting of laws on the prevention of bse and the rigorous application of european directives for everyone . i do not know whether this is the cure-all , commissioner , but on behalf of the precautionary principle , i think that experience compels us to prohibit the use of animal meal in animal feed for all animals for breeding purposes , including the pigs , the poultry farmers and fish from today . i believe that the debate that has already begun in this house , who - in the council , the commission or of the house - has done more or at least , it seems quite unnecessary . consisting of seek firstly , as others have spoken before me , it is necessary european-scale evidence of detection systematic in all cattle slaughtered consigned to the feeding of europeans . displaying the value of reconcile the interests of europeans and the economic interest of our producers , so that , in this way , restoring confidence . ambition and we can paramedical i repeat , they are in no way responsible for the crisis . that is why the european union must show its solidarity for them . i do not accept the arrogance of some member states which do not european-scale that screening tests , not clamour for a regulation . the european solidarity must also play a role , because our policy has proved its incoherences : fallowing , animal meal for ruminants , nitrates and pesticides . then i have heard what it says here in this house , mr gollnisch that your group has been the spearhead in our discussion about bse . furthermore , we believe it to bring about any flashpoint and to prohibit the export of meat until it does not demonstrate their safety . acote it is not possible for us , since politics , not enough highlighting this priority . i am glad that we continue to analysing the extent to tests on an experimental basis . but if generalizamos that screening tests , if you destroy the meat and bone meal , if we impose the massacre of the entire herd by a single sick animal health rules strictly equivalent to third countries who are seeking exporting live animals , channels and preparations to base our trading partners and towards the community , we must demand meat . causes lie elsewhere . madam president , i am pleased that the commission has indicated , at last , so strongly in favour of tests which will cover the entire territory . indeed , france showed this : who searching , straddles . what actually prevents us from acting ? why do we need to arrive at a crisis for coming here to ensure that we in parliament , we strongly believe that public health is an absolute priority ? the link between feedingstuffs of bonemeal and bse , which moreover is a form of food completely unnatural , it became apparent to everyone . i therefore ask you to the european commission to impose a certain degree of harmonisation in this respect . i appeal to the european commission to make a complete revision of the systems in force in france resolving cases of bse . the result is that the poison enters into the system , as is currently happening , and what destroys . of course , it is difficult coexistence , in this area , for national and european legislation . furthermore , there is legislation in force which establishes how should we draw up meat and bone meal , treatment to be submitted to this view - one more measure in safeguards which has already been incorporated into the system to protect public health and food safety . consequently , i have asked the standing veterinary committee , which is gathered as we speak , to examine this matter should be carried out these tests . i refer to analyse housings for animals aged over a certain age for discovering whether there infection and , if so , sideline the animal 's food-chain to determine what age . serve as an example of the pillow which caused the death of a immigrant in belgium , the use of heavy sedantes in spain , the transport of migrants from ships in italy and spain , the tragedy of the 58 chinese immigrants deaths in the uk in the port of dover , having been arrested on several occasions within european territory , and the widespread use of different means of coercion and intimidation with immigrants expelled . crammed into cellars technology that is my trade-offs . in my reply myself . the issue of violence against women takes many forms : violence within the family , which is a crime silenciado , for various forms of sexual exploitation , trafficking in women , traffic in human beings . mr president , i would say that , obviously , in which we have defined , monetary policy , corresponds to the european central bank and the european central bank ownr backtrack according to the criteria laid down in the treaty . tricked mr nogueira model mr president , i believe that the public is very important to distinguish between the internal and external policy , and i would be interested to ask you : can the commission now , shortly before the introduction of euro notes and coins , action to explain to the people of the difference between the internal market and the effect of foreign currency stability ? effect the greenhouse effect ongoing if it does not adopt appropriate measures , the commission will continue the procedure which has already begun . greek part what does the commission is to ensure that there is a system of monitoring and measuring methods . at the same decision , the commission had promised to investigate the regimes in support of all member states , based on specific criteria of compatibility approved until 2004 , year in which the date of validity of the permission of the french aid scheme will expire . the achievement of a europe which promotes the integration in the words of the european council in lisbon , requires an effort and an action plan . secondly , enabling lessons from the experience of the actors who are working on the ground , and ngos , the local authorities , the bodies of the people themselves who are in a position to exclusion . social and largest there are many people in older than would be in agreement with this , as people who have worked for a salary downsized which does not provide a livelihood vitally decent ( workers from the countryside , for example ) . muchas noon can people with psychiatric problems can be many who misunderstand the necessary to get a job . language groups . in the united states an employment softer ensures that poverty is hurrah for shorter periods with unemployment is very short . in my own country , nearly 75 % of those working and living below the poverty are women . that is why we must try to meet , at least in part , this commitment . i am convinced of the goodwill of the thei . we must strengthen this allocation bearing in mind the procedures and the realism needed here . . mr president , i wish to thank and congratulate mrs figueiredo , and i would also like to express my thanks to the other members of parliament who are not here and who have expressed the view of other committees . i also agree on underlining the importance of ngos and of regional and local actors , as you pointed out , as well as a better reflected in the text of his experience on the ground . we have already agreed that the committee on social protection will meet regularly with the contact group , consisting of members of parliament . in accordance with the next item is the debate on the report ( a5-0320 / 2000 ) by mrs rothe , on behalf of the committee on industry , external trade , research and energy , on the motion for a european parliament and council directive 279 - c5-0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0114 ( cod ) ) concerning the promotion of electricity generated from now on renewable energy sources in the internal electricity market . [ com ( 2000 ) we need now to binding objectives . another crucial point to which the commission gave its assent to this problem connecting the network and access to it for renewable energies . particularly in my country , spain , these guidelines would be responsible for that by 2010 is transmit into the atmosphere 225.000 million tonnes of co2 incremental and that we cannot honour the kyoto targets . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the commission 's proposal to create a framework within which the share of electricity from renewable energy sources will increase significantly in the european union in the medium term is an initiative to be commended . the effort which the rapporteur , mrs reding . but the threat can always come from compatibility with the internal market . discards are a renewable resource , despite the fact that every day occurring more and more . consequently , this directive acquires a topical inadvertently . nevertheless , i strongly support this proposal . mr president , i would like to thank mrs rothe on her excellent report , which goes very opportunely this week , particularly when we are fighting the crisis of climate change . the promotion of consumption and electricity generated from now on renewable energy sources is a very worthy of support . they require adjustments technological drastic . rather , the proposals on energy arise only from time to time and without much coherence . rothe and i would like to conclude , i just mention three problems have arisen during the course of this debate . moreover , by a principle of coherence , the above-mentioned objectives translated into national parameters must be binding , as otherwise the directive pointless of content and substance . at the same token , amendment no 3 in part , but not amendment no 7 , which is too technique for the text of the proposal . but , ladies and gentlemen , we cannot accept the parts that prejudge the application of the rules on state aid . in accordance with the next item is the debate on the report ( a5-0308 / 2000 ) by mrs theorin , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , on the participation of women in the peaceful resolution of conflicts [ 2000 / 2025 ( ini ) ] . while the processes of formal peace are an almost exclusively male and female participation in the settlement of conflicts and in the construction of peace . territory , experiences demonstrate the importance of the international declarations decisions on the implementation and enforcement of aid are the responsibility of the cabinets of crisis and here competition objectively and specialised of women enjoy little attention and recognition . apparently want to maintain its position of power in matters of foreign and defence policy and believe that the interests of women defend themselves by men . mr president , i would like firstly to express the whole interest me about this report , whose excellency would like to highlight the huge excellence , even deserves . we must also be financial resources that will help women who are victims of this situation . mr president , much has been said and i shall not repeat . we need to focus on this excellent report , which is a very important matter of utmost topicality , neither more nor less , a substantial proportion of women in the resolution of conflicts can change the world and transforming the dominant culture of the confrontation and violence in culture of peace and dialogue and arrangement of democratic differences . theorin , diplomatic and how participation . therefore , support the demands of the report by the fact that women should have a right to influence diplomatically . a very thorough , rigorous , able to address fundamental principles with clarity , which is being done in article 17 , but at once with a great practicality and proposals very necessary . audacious well-researched , report we think that we should condemn all violations and all forms of slavery ! the fifth point is the role of echo , the european community humanitarian office , which is the challenge and the invitation of the european parliament to consider the dimension of gender . in relation to the the problem is that this work is carried out millions of people , particularly women , for which there is also a great demand although this work does not have any kind of regularisation . i believe we must oblige the member states to regulate this sector by means of directives work-related as has been raised in the dictámen parliament 's work on these directives . the population migrant tends to be an important role in this sector , which calls for special measures , as places of refuge specialized will facilitate the necessary aid . collective it is a matter of which must address the member states . demand has decreased in recent years in a way meteórica but this fact scarcely been taken into account in professional life in general and the rights and obligations arising from this . ( the sitting was closed at 12 midnight ) ( loud applause ) we must not only creating the internal system of freedom and peace , but also with the rules and lifestyles that the european community and the european union stands for decades . harmonise the first step to take over our commitment to restructure the constitutional federal state is defining a framework for the broadest possible on the nature of relations between the two republics . democratic dialogue you know , the representatives of the european parliament , which are the direct representatives of the citizens of its member states , the citizens of europe , are those which are best placed to understand why the possibility of entering europe seems to us , the citizens of the current federal republic of yugoslavia . itself so uncertain reanudamos our sitting . and it is a matter of great significance and importance for the citizens , so that it would be fair and necessary that we could completed by du of the commission communicated to submit a proposal that specifically within six months and has kept its word . currently , the european union already has a practice with regard to the publication of documents , and we should remember that many citizens bold and many member states have been fighting for years in order to increase transparency . progressive this report requires still be retocado in parliament too , and i therefore believe that here must be improved . we are pleased to find in the report as a principle crucial that we are also supporting vehemently from the committee on budgets . it gives them the chance to take a look at the subjects which do not enjoy especial appreciation of the media and the lobby groups and thus able to participate in the debate which is so important for the confidently towards the eu . open and democratic better now the committee on petitions pleads for shorter deadlines for make public documents . when we no longer justifies the document should be accessible . i would also like to stress that everyone will have guaranteed access to documents , in many ways . the dogma of political responsibility must not be confused with the rights of access to documents as part of our citizens . i would appeal to the rapporteurs to remove all references to the rights of members , since that is the citizens ' access to documents , and i would urge all members to monitor very well that their interests are not prevail at the expense of the public . rules of procedure in these areas , access to documents is not guaranteed , and is not only to citizens , but even the european parliament to which , moreover , nor is it informs or consultation on the fundamental documents . vedado but a great drop of bitterness still remains . mr president , firstly i would like to thank mr cashman for having done a splendid job with this report . it is a very important report , which represents a substantial part of what we might call the new principle of transparency in the eu . ( technical fault ) it is not just the principle of free access to all documents , but also , of course , that it has finally been achieved opening the doors of the session of the council , so that the council does not take in future , the style of metternich , its decisions and in secrecy , and then to be able incordiar easily to brussels . one-way secondly , i should like to comment on the work on the exceptions . our population believes that europe is not democratic , whereby decisions are taken behind closed doors . maij-weggen , to put forward in such a short period of accordance with article 255 of the treaty , the proposed regulation should be taken before 1 may 2001 , i.e. two years after the entry into force of the treaty of amsterdam . this report . allow me to deal with now certain problems which hamper the moment that the commission can accept certain amendments . as i said earlier , in some cases we can agree in principle , with the amendments , but we must work together in terms of the technical and administrative , for example , regarding the amendments relating to the classification of documents and the register . we do not have any written document and i , too , for the future , the commission remitiese to members , in writing , its recommendations . welcome we welcome the positively in the greatest importance given to the weakening of the risk of appropriations , in particular to the guarantees which may offer businesses . report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) by mr blokland on the joint text approved by the conciliation committee , on the european parliament and council c5-0371 / 2000 ( cod ) ] on waste incineration directive [ - 1998 / 0289 ; mr president , may i ask you to the liberal group , i am asking you this as well as one of the co-ponentes , which address the issue of a rather more practical terms ? therefore , is a common wish of the ppe-de and pse groups to the vote be postponed until november ii part-session . i therefore propose to refer the report villiers to november ii part-session . i have followed the order that i have facilitated the competent services and the plenary does not psc something else . as chairman of turn , today i must say that alone , as my colleague , i can tell you that i agree with you . the second stage , when the scandal in great britain had reached the point more acute , measures were limited substantially to this country , without any programme of rigorous controls and restructuring of livestock farming in the first stage , when the european parliament denounced the threat in great britain already , beyond the negative attitude which showed imminently at european level . we therefore wish to draw four main lessons we will be taken into account in future . we voted in favour of this joint resolution . the increasing number of cases in england to the new variant of creutzfeldt-jakob , and the situation in france have brought to the agenda , with even more vehemence , the issue of mad cow " ( bse ) . because of fears that it sets panic amongst the citizens concerned to avoid catastrophes , some governments have not yet provided in real time to the commission 's duly informed or not proceeded , since the first time in which these phenomena , to block the consumption of tobacco products in question and to prohibit their exports . manifested torrents immediately or trade farmers cannot cope with this crisis themselves : we have to implement an action plan accompaniment of farming as a whole series of measures to win back consumer confidence . the inability of all the european institutions - the council , commission and parliament - to define a policy which meets the needs of the member states will pose problems of hierarchies between the obligations of the single market and the demands of public health and safety of our peoples . relevant community security most directly affected effectively we have obtained , after many discussions with the council , satisfaction at several points . the days of landfill sites are coming to an end and must be replaced by technologies more advantageous to the environment . participating in processes in the social partners and , in particular , the representatives of the groups concerned with which we organises its programme , indeed , although we welcome the resumption of growth and the fall in unemployment , we must not conceal the persistence , even the worsening of inequalities . i believe that the rapporteur is right when she calls for greater involvement of the public authorities , the social partners and civil society in the measures to defeat poverty and social exclusion non-existing . the poor workers ' , of whom are women , employed part-time work , to dumb and on more complete precariousness , to join the cohort of misery that the official speeches on the recovery totally ignored . determinar most three years ago , prime minister has established a unit against social exclusion which coordinates the government action for the reduction of social exclusion enacting common solutions to common problems . until now there installed more than 60 rotores that occupy the surface of mil football grounds . the dependency , which is of approximately 50 % for the whole union , can move on to 70 % by 2020 unless it is a development of renewable energy sources . it is true that we must adopt a set of rules on safety more advanced and effective as regards the use of nuclear energy and storage of nuclear waste . we therefore have an energy which is only natural , but that continued without being used in both not occur technical advances for this . seek the preparation of the asem 4 should take this opportunity to reaffirm the democratic requirement , the one hand , asegurándole information and the intervention of assemblies of civil society - that the implementation of a social forum , and secondly , taking full account of social rights , environmental and human rights . chosen and behaves principally - it is apparent in recent times that parliament has been the victim of some sustenance and even some criticisms . we saw that faced them by this parliament in its infancy , because she had and continues to have greater powers , more resources , more attending and for assert its representativeness . misadventures who went batallar batallando the american parliament , like the european parliament , must go gaining in prestige , credibility and validity , based on the activities of their political groups , because the life of the parties is , or should be at least , reflecting the societies we represent . in as regards human rights , we have been supporting since 1990 programmes of cooperation in favour of respect for human rights through training and awareness in this area . ( b5-0855 / 2000 ) by mr van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group ; the extreme confusion which characterised the context election in recent weeks in the ivory coast , until now , however , is symptomatic of a country in crisis , in economic crisis , hopeless social and therefore chaos . politician economic model the political leaders , military and non-religious must do everything possible to achieve a national reconciliation . we need to via the debate on the ' marfilidad ' , this debate which is none other than the implementation of national preference that we are fighting in our own countries , whose logical and is the application of ethnic cleansing , is completely combated and suppressed any reference or on the ' marfilidad " in the constitution of the ivory coast . hit-and-miss last connotation he has supported the suspension of the constitution , with the intention to eliminate their maximum opponent , watara , on the grounds that their parents were not both ivoirian . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , although the ivory coast was a stronghold of stability and democracy compared with the countries of central and western europe , suffers from a long time tensions of ethnic and religious recently , there have been abused by the previous government of president badié , which led to a imputes violent of power by the military . africa character ; we condemn the continuing ethnic violence and especially to the politicians whose demagogy it has caused . the next item is the next item is the joint debate on the following motions for resolutions : the next meeting between the eu in laos provides an opportunity to demonstrate our more vigorous condemnation of this regime . asean and in december crucial incidentally , i do not have any confidence in our own ministers there raise these issues . ec-asean become , in full respect for the floor , to a paper tiger failure in coping with the terrible events in burma . the junta has stated that it intends to frustrate the party in its entirety . it is a historic debt and of course , the situation is difficult . these improvements will not be the author of the amendments from the socialist group , mr sakellariou - have been taken over the last few years and have led to a situation where there is no doubt the most tragic but it remains ill-starred and that does not match up to the challenges of vietnam to us today . light-touch - certainly in any way mr swoboda , the european parliament is flexible and efficient . however , it would be in the american president is not only to strengthen the mutual collaboration , but that will depend on just firm promises from vietnam in relation to undertake a radical improvement of the miserable situation prevailing in the country in terms of human rights . concentrates , hanoi , i ask the council and commission to protesten strongly about this flagrant violation of the freedom of worship perpetrated by the vietnamese authorities . the process has led , in addition , the signature of the cooperation agreement between the commission and vietnams in 1995 . of course are parties who were contained in non-intensive motion that we have tabled . i agree that we must do everything we can to help them , but would changing situation that has caused their misery and the countless people throughout the world . plus the issues that are analyze are medium and long term . mr president , commissioner , that some weeks ago they affected many areas in northern italy as well as other european countries - spain , ireland and france - to put to the problem of urgent action to alleviate the needs of individuals , of communities and of the firms involved , as in the long term that they can be repeat íatural disasters of this magnitude . uk , interval both parliament and extraordinary floods policy more prevenga the transport sector , given its continuing growth forecast - of 38 % in the next década- , which requires measures will be the most important . the debate is closed . this is part of the uses and habits of this parliament , but i find it extremely delicate stop believing that the parliamentary institution takes on an issue like this , considers the possibility of entrust a task like this to the commission with a very active involvement downwards . european undertakings perhaps ( parliament rejected the request for postponement ) . the economic and social cohesion of the eu , which has led to a reduction in the purchasing power and the possibilities of workers , the emergence of new diseases and the impunity of pharmaceutical companies have caused a underbelly of an increase in expenditure on health . contributions incidentally , opens up such a broad field to the insurers , on condition that it does seleccionen ( initially ) to the sick and premiums for seguro for pathology . with private anyone who does not receive and spent a lot of money , no longer counts . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am glad to be present in the presence of a group of visitors from my constituency beauty , which am extremely grateful . this means that we give to the entities sufficient time for us to be adapted to the new provisions . the report takes account of a growing consensus which tends to highlight the inability of the current rules in order to take into consideration the developments in the financial sector of these last ten years . we say yes to a closest consideration of the techniques of risk , and we also say yes to enlargement of the basic idea of the basle committee . minimizadoras we also believe satisfying the important contribution to this report makes the entire process . and finally , and this is a key point , fully aware that we must respect the institutional balance laid down in the treaty . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . allow me , mr president , we should seize this opportunity to congratulate the ombudsman mr jacob söderman , congratulate the rapporteur on his work in the fight against mismanagement and , therefore , also in contributing to a greater harmonization of european citizens to the life of the community institutions . before concluding mr president , fortunately , the european parliament has always maintained , in accordance with the nordic tradition , that we must strengthen and consolidate the situation of the ombudsman . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . after all , access to documents is an civil rights and fundamental to a candidate must not documentation more important than the unconnected with the examinations . we found it legitimate that a nominee access to their copy corrected , because it is a fundamental right , recognized moreover by the charter of fundamental rights which we have just adopted this week . access to documents they should be . this example should follow the rest of the institutions and bodies , as recommended by the committee on petitions . the citizens of the european union should receive a positive impression when they deal with the european institutions . and what is new in this case is that it should be guided in its practices on the quest for excellence and avoid anything that , in accordance with our experience , can existed credibility in the member states themselves . with regard to other institutions , depends on them to take proeedings are raised in this report or in the ombudsman 's requests . the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . if that is what preventing a disaster inevitable we would be facing a democratic bankruptcy , but if not consider relevant , do not deserve to go votes . are meaningful criteria to be adopted , however , we must also consider other aspects of the matter , in particular the coefficient of solvency ratio of risk-weight by type of counterpart to approximate the risk of credit implicit in the promoter of a bank which is a utmost caution . creation mid-term review of the police academy ( eep ) this police cooperation is essential that we can achieve the great objective of providing for european citizens , a high level of safety within the european area of freedom , security and justice . the enlargement of the european union , with the extension of the area of free movement of citizens , must be accompanied by flanking measures on security peaceful co-existence between member states . i can see , the conditions in prisons french and portuguese are very different . in other words , if you want common standards should , firstly , because otherwise you will trained police completely colourful . defined nonetheless , thanks to the work of mr posselt , is finally stipulates that the staff training of police should also include human rights and the defence , also important and appropriate at this time the suggestion of creating a school of police virtual that grab the potential of the internet . remain but here we are in strasbourg , facing a house almost desierta , listening to what unimaginable . our own prime minister , mr prodi . it is a good idea and in a union in which people enjoy freedom of movement and freedom of establishment , in which they can go to sicily , it is logical to develop a common system for the maintenance of the rule of law , freedom of trade travellers from scotland or greece wait . in the netherlands , the police this trained in the desescalada of conflicts and in repression tolerant , and should be regarded as the existence of subculturas , ethnic minorities , the use of churches as ports of refuge , by people who do a licence vertreter residence and organisation of protestations policies . normal social phenomena anyone who believes in the sound solutions which advocate must not be afraid of confrontarlas with solutions to others . i hope that the academy at this point will provide an approach valid for the future . it is a good illustration of what begins to designated currently under the name of europe in networks , a europe which puts nations in direct contact , without maintain superstructures useless . the majority of cases of kidnapping of children is being handled very properly and efficiently by the central authorities in all member states . so it is essential to bring this loophole for reasons of fairness , for realism vis--vis the evolution sociological and equality of rights and obligations for all citizens of the european union . meanwhile , we welcome this measure and we shall give our wholehearted vote . from our sympathy for the purpose raised , we agree with the proposed measures . the question of a day relates to the people who travels often on the part of the world to see her son . slating the stands by the european parliament in this respect , as well as the case-law of the european court of justice , confirms this approach by the commission . i know that fifa has already played obtaining more time and has been delayed for more mind before presenting a response to the statement formal commission 's accomplished in 1998 . it is natural that the commissioner responsible for matters of sporting ownr quimper meeting in future to the european union in the wada . the united kingdom 's decision to apply a tax on road transport operators cannot britons ireland is obviously a very small market but open , and almost everything that buy stems from the united kingdom . in conclusion , we are to hold this debate in the european parliament , but i welcome the fact that the statement by commissioner vitorino , which makes it clear that the united kingdom has the right to introduce the system of euro-vignette , provided that respects the rules and regulations in force . precipitando and mr president , expenses and toll charges are sensitive , and i can confirm to the austria , where we are always with this issue in circles , and where they are always seek solutions for traffic . the question is not discriminate on the rest of driver or hauliers from europe for the benefit of drivers britons . it will pay for the vignette most of what you will not be that there is no special exemption or a basis per diem . bring on 22 november , i.e. the day of the 25th anniversary of the coronación of king juan carlos , which has opened the way for democracy in spain , one of the figures for this in turn be charged with his life their faith in freedom , tolerance and respect for human rights in the other . highlanders democracy ends in guárdenlas because all carefully . the european union 's negotiating position centred around the safeguarding of the integrity of the kyoto protocol in the fields of change in the use of land and the forestry sector , the question of the relationship between the mechanism of kyoto and internal measures - known as ' supplementarity " , and compliance . sinks ' , ' environmental in order to prepare the next part-session , the eu must not resume talks on all issues , but concentrate on the key priorities , in particular the mechanisms of the " sinks ' , ' the supplementarity " and a regime of rigorous enforcement . as mr prescott has now been under water and we do not know how quickly will in sink . finally , i welcome the fact that have not caved in to the issue of co2-emissions , mainly because in this area is very difficult to carry out measurements exact . it is not possible to go back on nuclear energy . however , we must go further . in may 2001 , in bonn , must be incorporated equality . during the follow-up conference in bonn , which is being held in may 2001 , should be sought ominously such a compromise . if we all have a planet in which we live in the future , the challenge we face in relation to the climate change is clearly one of the greatest twenty-first century . the same applies to measurements subsidiary of the co2 wells , as the planting of downstream woodland . the hague conference will continue , as you told us what has been announced , commissioner , the springtime which comes in bonn . madam president , thank you for your speech commissioner wallström . if there is something we did not disunity was in the relationship between the european parliament delegation and the commission . do not reach an agreement in the next meeting of the cop6 is not an option . we had a very constructive attitude and negotiate until the last minute of those discussions in the hague . has the floor , mr president-in-office . with regard to the coordination of social security , taxation , to the issues relating to asylum and immigration , the trade negotiations in the field of public services - in some countries are still major problems . large - to visas i would add that have not yet reached agreement on the distribution of the seats in the european parliament . reaching an agreement which would allow the union to function afterglow of new accessions , all those who are preparing the moment , it is a crucial stage in the future of the union and the enlarged union . actively of course , its president is guest . this will be submitted in nice , and naturally we hope to be ratified . you see it as debates will be very densos in nice . at the end of the union to be effective , the conference should make significant progress in this respect , and this also involves extending the codecision procedure . referred to the codecision procedure on the part of the european parliament . ( applause ) this challenge is the reunite our continent , an enlargement which has no coinciding with regard to their scale and for that is what we must prepare for the nice summit . long-established madam president , the main objective of the nice summit is enlarging the european union and to prepare the union for enlargement . madam president , mr president-in-office , mr president-in-office of the commission , i think i can say that to date the governments of the fifteen member states have not been itself in glory . this method is not good . we are proposing the adoption of decisions by qualified majority in 49 domains . majority decisions kill the right of veto in the parliamentary democracies of the member states , but the eu does not becomes herself in a parliamentary democracy . mr president , europe needs a leadership , needs clarity , needs to make choices , needs dynamism . the principle of the blackmail of proclamation does not seem acceptable , in view of the conclusions of the european council in biarritz , even if the latter was informal . these , mr president-in-office of the items on the basis of which see the results of nice , and grateful also our accession as regards the point that has been mentioned in connection with the services of general economic interest . - i shall attitude to the treaty of nice when he sees the result , however , is an experience somewhat schizophrenic attend this debate . in amsterdam the heads of state suspended and will have to return to prove luck in nice . if the chasm between large and small countries in the council opens up too much risk of suffer enormous crisis of legitimacy in the european union , since the smaller cease to feel at home for fear of being unable to defend its own identity in a few years . the french president and prime minister seem more addicted to his own political future than by europe . they may arise serious legal problems of interpretation fails to incorporate the text of the treaty , but can only endorse it politically . furthermore , i stress the importance of providing strong institutions to our europe balancing out an institutional void with regard to accelerating that was achieved at european level economical with the euro . the declared aim of this review is the configuration of institutions more effective , suitable for an enlarged europe , and , at the same time , the reduction in the democratic deficit . undeniable already but it also means the restructuring of the committee itself 133 : increase their accountability to ensure that its agenda and its conclusions are accessible and its composition is comprehensive and inclusive . auditors ; mr president , i am not only to the president-in-office , but also to all the governments of member states , when i say that , if it is not achieved an agreement in nice on these difficult questions , they will not disappear . the codecision process during the last year showed that works . and in this direction would say that we should of course that the field of trade policy will be included in this extension of qualified majority voting . when i was a seven-year-old girl , was forced to flee from their own country vis--vis the progress of the red army , one which runs the cunetas so as not to do trizas aviation soviet . fugitiva my colleague mr méndez de vigo just referred - rightly , à la carte . we cannot expect more from him . the understanding is increasingly close and , although perhaps not represent the lowest common divisor , is undoubtedly a divisor common tiny , even tiny . - ( fr ) mr president , first of all i would like to thank the members , because i think he is an excellent debate . thus , there was no question of not proclaim the charter , it is not a problem of transparency . indeed , the system of rotation egalitarian also affects the large countries , which , at a given time , could be found without sergeant , as everyone else . i believe that parliament will be able to see that the european union has improved institutional mechanisms which will allow him to confront the continuation of this development of the european union which unites us all . the vote will take place tomorrow . mr president , i would like to echo mr santer 's statement . i am totally opposed to that nobody threatens to a minister invited , whatever turco or any other nationality . it is obvious that in this house for democracy in europe we have to guarantee the safety of all our guests and anyone who is grapple under our roof . the minister of health , on the grounds that the pellets not hurt and with the affirmation of the tumour deal with the marijuana " , has undermined the foundations for the dignity of every human being begging the liberalization of drugs . ' the least we can say is that there is a good way of proceeding , not to say a snub to parliament , and unless it is considered that meps do not have to say anything about human rights , when you have just voted by a large majority the charter of fundamental rights , they will be absent from this democracy-forum in the european union , to which , last year , many of them had seen for dialogue with ngos and the institutions . we have already talked enough about this issue . even before the european parliament and the commission has also been showed that the person responsible for foreign policy vice-chairman of the commission and take the same time , the role of high representative , with particular regard to obligation and with the council . amsterdam partisans of buchmesse as they did before the feira summit , to vote for a resolution on 15 june , the european parliament should approve tomorrow a text which summarises its position on the eve of the council in nice , . the development of the pecsd is a new departure for the european project and we therefore need to clarify the current institutional framework . the european council should adopt in nice , which step to quote several decisions . for the first debate at the beginning of next year , the commission will establish a picture , country by country , based on the last year 's budget , which the state of commitments , which payments and the amounts which remain to be paid in relation to the main programmes financed by the community budget and by the edf . describirá we have worked on the issue of regional cooperation , notion that i had some resistance from some countries in this region , which do not want to see them again in a past , and i can say that , thanks to this summit , you have understood that there is no contradiction between regional cooperation and its progress , for its approach , with regard to the european union , especially through the process of stabilisation and association confirmed and specified on this occasion . navel-gazing which have come similarly before we had taken place a summit with india , under the portuguese presidency , and a ministerial meeting will take place with the asean . it is not a reason for desalentarnos . i recall the range of tasks : humanitarian aid , evacuation of national parliaments , conflict prevention , but also separated by force of warring sides . herein lies , of course , in the autonomy of the decision of the european union and the recognition of the voluntary nature and the political commitments adopted . he has done more than anyone as personification of the resolution of conflicts in one part of the world who are well known and has been sang properly throughout the world for her efforts . part of the attention paid to the media to the creation of strength in the country i know i am very curious . i would like to thank mrs lalumière has highlighted the report on the prevention of conflicts that the commission is preparing , together with the high representative for the european council in nice . thank you , commissioner patten . that is , in my opinion , the real test for the european union . the impatient fellow-citizens complain that european democracy is too slow . citizens must also have the greatest possible access to information and documents . in the current proposals remain completely unclear what ought this role . with a european flag in the car , is going on everywhere , until the most desheredado of refugee camps . this is why , mr president , on which europe must , in my view , indecisive to act now . if we fail to play a role in resolving this conflict regardless of the united states , we must count on that , in other hotbeds of conflict will not give us no confidence as mediators . as europeans registrar only that his personal commitment not replaces the democratic legitimacy of the european security and defence policy . i cannot accept certain specific points of the report by mrs lalumière . the abandonment of this wide range of instruments for prevention of conflicts , it will become apparent in the long term as a mistake . i do not suffice statements by the council with the observation that we have already adopted resolutions and that grows in any direction . civilian as you can figurarse , reject the two reports , and we are endeavouring to use all our forces against the policies that are appellation ... thirdly , we must create a corridor free of nuclear weapons , as proposed in its day olof palme , from the baltic to the black sea . i would like to congratulate mrs lalumière on her report . the brok report also addresses the post of high representative for common policy on security and defence policy . what a pity , let me say to mr van orden and my other colleagues , because my colleagues on the other side of the irish sea , have much to offer in this field : the tradition , experience and practice . charco ; the european parliament , in cooperation with national parliaments , is , in our opinion , the appropriate body to do so . i believe that the lessons to learn in this final experience we will face up to the need to establish a common policy and defence capability teachings , which , in my opinion , it is a component of european integration as the single currency is so essential in the future . i also believe that the combination of these various media ownership , is a possibility , specifically in the european union and that the task ahead of us , if this policy is progressing and it is to develop a genuine european culture of prevention and treatment of conflicts . entrenches , is a i think that is going to develop a positive dialogue . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission 's resignation , in march 1999 , revealed the need to reform its structures and their working methods . the reform , which can be devised , must be clear and has presented to the unions , the whole of the staff , and that is align indeed the whole of the staff to this whole process . top-down ' this provision will require time but it is inevitable and essential for the reform . the reform of the commission is an act essential for the future of our institutions . drafting my report , i was able to look not just the white paper , but also the second wise men 's report and the resolution adopted by this parliament last 19 january , proposed by michiel van hulten , on the work of the aforementioned committee of experts . the court of auditors notes in his report which opposes the abolition of visa predates that this derogation will be replaced by other procedures which provide guarantees , at least equivalents , and may involve conflagrations at other actors distinct financial controller 's . not always all the more open and transparent ; they are using the information technologies for new ways - are moving away from the traditional forms of vertical organisation , sharing information throughout the world trade organisation and between non-governmental organisations . large organisations are doing now is being mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , despite its scope , the content of the white paper presented by commissioner kinnock raises not directly from an institutional matter . furthermore , we have discussed this afternoon in the context of the debate on the common foreign policy . finally , we must tackle the thorny issue of the proposal foregone pensionable age . the decentralization of financial control towards the directorates is an important step , but only works if the staff receives proper training , if it does not have adequate resources and if the responsibility of the heads of edr calls adequately . bodies and their leaders have been clear potential for carrying out the best possible management . as regards the disciplinary procedure here too there promises but not so far unmistakeable pronouncements on how this should apply these rules and also the question of externalisation is definitely cleared up . rules or . this reform is necessary to serve faithfully god and cannot be imposed by rules . as a whole novelty that modifies situations consolidated , it is clear that vigilant and to be careful . however , we are going to withdraw amendment no 6 , and we shall request a split vote on the last part of amendment no 15 because we do not believe that the current system in the ecb will listen to this situation . the last time this parliament , the president of the commission was jacques delors and working together with commissioner brittan and before him , with the commissioner cockfield . that was part madam president , commissioners , ladies and gentlemen , continuing this reform with justified hopes . issues such as the bse crisis , oil prices , the greenhouse effect boast a component of european explicit . the public must also have the feeling that the commission is really accessible and transparent . for the european parliament , the reform is a vital issue on which it has a knock-on effect , as the budgetary authority and that lawmaking . lays down clear procedures for various ways denouncing alleged acts illicit both inside and outside the institution where he is using servant . many therefore , i am convinced that we will have the pleasure listening to you on future occasions . mr garriga polledo , let me briefly to conserves categories of the financial perspective . the reform must be carried out by the commission staff , so that rebuke from acceptance . we see a reform cosmetic makes no sense at the moment of profound change . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , first of all like to highlight the quality of the own-initiative report by mrs sauquillo pérez del arco in connection with the reform of the commission and their effects on the effectiveness of the european union 's relations with the developing countries . we want to see greater responsibility . before i talk of aid projects , we must try to rake over all the causes of utilising existing search and pursuing who has been exploited , has exploited and has trespassed populations are placed on the rule of necessity . precisely because mr nielson is faithful to this collegial responsibility will argue , without doubt , the proposal tonight . more serious still seems to us , the commission 's proposal , the separation territorial being maintained . in 2001 , for example , the financial responsibility will desconcentradas on 22 delegations , computer systems of other delegations will be up-to-date and are allocated 40 newly-created jobs for officials to external services . 15 maritime safety but neither the erika , nor the ievoli sun , were french vessels . in fact this is a matter of priority in the agenda of the commission since the fatal sinking , 11 months ago , the erika . we hope and trust that 21 december the council of ministers will contribute to the determination of the european institutions to truly improve maritime safety with the adoption of common positions for these three texts do theirs . i think it is within our reach but we must make sure that this agreement came into force . i understand and i welcome the attempt by the minister to stop playing with these two reports ; that is why i consider positive in its proposal on that , if possible , we are discussing the subject in december . earliest possible also principle figment of all , we have produced a report which raises improvements in various respects conducentes to boosting classification system , as medium- and valid instrument to guarantee the safety of maritime traffic . parliamentarian to amend the directive however , the legacy of so many years , in materials were simply spills , remains , and sometimes it has once again there for atormentarnos , amenudo with serious consequences . for that purpose , the publication of information is essential in order to facilitate that public obtain information , phone emergency etc . i hope greatest achievements of the second set of proposals and the creation of a european agency for maritime safety . i believe much welcomes your argument , but we can only negotiate about results that have been analysed in the council . we know , of course , that in the past the port state control has not been a subject on maritime safety , we know that not all of classification societies have exercised in a serious way and correct , but rather chapucera , its function of roadworthiness tests of ships , and we know that double hull tankers without are bombs ticking away in floating . weatherproof we are building a new credibility on the one hand and we should not spoil it , moreover , by acting misdirected from the commission . anyone who does not take that responsibility has to stay far-removed from our waters and ports . the watts report tightens up the measures against vessels flying the flag of convenience , without abolishing this type of flags which demonstrate serious health risks or one . in spite of everything , i am glad that the commission 's proposals have assimilated the main demands made by those who have been elected by the french coast : ban on single-hull oil tankers , strengthening of controls at ports , and evaluation of the classification societies . i also share your view of boosting the obligation of voyage ten-year-old recorders . guarantees of navigability of a vessel demanding important measures on the societies and responsible on the inspectorate , as has already been said . in conclusion let me say that these measures are bereft of a firm commitment to achieving the desired level of safety . as everyone is saying , and i think it is entirely justified , which has not yet reached the current 25 % of demanded of controls by port state control . it is high time uncomplicated commitments which we preached by some anticipate a difficult compliance . with regard to the classification would stress once again on this occasion - and this is also my task as follows : the main focus of the current discussion seems to be focused on liability . - as regards the port control , it is important single-mindedly to do with the legislation and in the efficiency of inspections . the laxness vis-à-vis the big companies shows no doubt that are more powerful than democratic institutions . . ( el ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , a matter whose aim is the safety of ships and , consequently , the security of individuals and protecting the environment , it is a very serious matter . the reports that have been tabled are along these lines . we agree with the imposition of a ceiling for personal damage or death and material losses and with which to provide the member states the option of increasing those limits . the introduction of new technologies and improvements in designs that ships are part of this important task . we need to progress towards a consensus at the highest possible level of regulation and of maritime safety . i am pleased to deliver that the commission is going to support many of the amendments proposed in these three reports . the commission can accept amendments nos 6 , 7 and 8 , but it can only partly accept amendment no 1 . it is hoped that the imo adopts the timetable for phase-in at its meeting in april of next year . the commission 's work is to confirm that the classification continues to fulfil the qualitative criteria of the directive and to monitor the work of the classification societies . the commission appreciates the endorsement given by the limit proposed by originally . again , this shows what the urgent adoption of a strengthened , preventive and remedial community measures for the protection of our seas . mr turco , i fully understand your message , and consider it . what must be clear from the moment is that it is already in the hands of the council to make rapid progress . feel with regard to my report there is agreement . madam president , i would like to table the proposal to amend the amendment that we should start with the words : ' urges , in this respect , the council and the commission . report ( a5-0329 / 2000 ) by mr pomés ruiz , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , on the white paper on reform of the commission ( aspects relating to the committee on budgetary control ) ( com ( 2000 ) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / 2215 ( cos ) ] mckenna report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) the immunity of capital rests with the privatisation of the classification societies , which have gone into the hands of shipowners , for lack of control , a substantial part of the inspection by state authorities , and even by the complicity of authorities . bolstered that is why i am very pleased that the rapporteurs , and piétrasanta have tried to heal rifts that remained still in the commission 's proposal . watts vachetta the responsibility of the implementation of these measures falls well in the member states . the single-hull oil tankers should not be able surf here after 2005 , 2010 or have disappeared in other areas . 2015 when however , mr hatzidakis advancing proposals which restrict the commission . the promotion of stricter legislation at international level should remain a fundamental objective of our maritime safety policy . it is particularly important to make it clear that the principle that the polluter must pay is fully in force . this community action has doubled reactivation of the imo , which in fact , endowed with a real power to actually implement the ism code , it would be an effective instrument , the image of europol 's with a police . while penalties for infrigir rules are respected , companies that want the maximum profits will continue opting for the wrong direction . lower than expenditure by the preparation of the nice council instead of promoting upward human rights and social rights , the charter will facilitate transactions aimed at minimising it . unfortunately , is missing here in the resolutions tabled . although , as many people have complained that prime minister , lionel jospin , has been expressed in a few occasions during this six-month term " because of the cohabitation ' , i know the significant impetus given by permanently their ministers and wish noting . sometimes as regards the social sphere , the proposals are very timid and even give substance to cash transactions accepted at the lisbon summit , especially with regard to the strengthening of economic and social cohesion . in this respect should not take any decisions on the development of the eu which conllevase the risk of alienar to europe 's citizens . the british people it wants a reform of the eu which increases accountability and efficiency . this text takes the pretext of future ( and increasingly distant ) enlargement to ask the tightening up of a system already exhausted . now , the thing is that not only between the grandees ' and ' small ' , but also between the " grandees ' . burns . ' . ( sv ) we welcome and support a report which deals with many important trends in relation to the common security and defence policy . every year , this report by the european parliament , in principle to the annual assessment of the cfsp , recapitulates the method of those who consist of a gap in nature federalist obtained in one area since , in seeking relentlessly enlargement , detriment both of the treaties as to the decisions of the european councils . indeed recognised deslizamientos progressive onwards , as ritual dedicated chat with me , it realized that it is organizing a military force of the united states of europe , a power capable of acting to maintain peace in europe and its environs . furthermore , it is not the task of the european parliament define what capacity must possess a european rapid reaction force or whether within this context , for example , must have the capacity to intervene aviation and shipping . the conflict in the future will not solve with military interventions rather than by means of a policy of social justice , economic and ecological . are radically opposed to this european army , just like to nato and of our own national army . for example , there are points that are going too far in relation to the cfsp and nato , in the use of " threat of armed intervention ' as a means of exerting pressure on the activities of conflict prevention , which is at odds with the un charter . a decade after the revolutions which took place in this , we think it is a sad message is that the ' european ' dispatches with these reports to the applicant countries . peace-promoting enterprise precisely six of these paragraphs contain assertions which are related to the subject . unfortunately , includes the clear objective of override national laws on abortion or even penalising or remove the traditions of faith which run counter to abortion . if it illusions , many tens of thousands of women in question of the european union is alegrarían from which we are focusing here regulating the legal status of the domestic work which exists in the black economy . smet proposes , among other things , to establish a european definition of domestic work . the needs of workers household should be taken into account in finely labour law . they have paid for their pension contributions to the various national governments that they have done disappear very quickly like some good prestidigitadores . finally , the group union for a europe of nations reminds strongly recommend that the eu citizens expect more than ever that the reform measures and to be translated into consideration of the diversity of opinions and convictions that protesters in our countries . merited with with regard to human resources , the merit of agents and greater transparency in terms of personnel policy in general have to build up in the strengths of the new administrative reform . in connection with this explanation of vote , i should like to reiterate and emphasise that , unfortunately , parliament does not have all the powers that it should have . i would like to finish with an intervention relating to procedure . indeed , mr barón crespo , the reports are contradictory . it is not a wish for the socialist group . this is precisely the reason that we shall have problems : it is an important summit and everything we say we undertake . i have to remember that the commission will be meeting tomorrow evening to discuss foremost of understood what were the conclusions of the intergovernmental conference . ( parliament gave its assent to the proposal ) i would therefore be grateful if gone unheeded this request . and i condemn that a few days ago , one that was on hunger strike display of solidarity , what murdered in rotterdam a fraction of the grey wolves . as naturally , this would not have needed if the council had paid a little more attention , or if you had paid for at least some attention to our first reading and the commission 's amended proposal which is already much of what we wanted acercaba european in june . thirdly , we must see if we want to take effectively contribute to improving the functioning of the internal market and if they are provided with regard to the goal we are pursuing . provisions the second concern , of course , a fundamental legal , has led us to become even more narrows the interdependence between the market harmonisation and health protection and to follow the recommendations contained in the reasons why they have the court of justice has recently by the directive on the grounds that it is only through a reading instrumental can lead to the conclusion that both aspects are incompatible . thoroughly , on the contrary , nullified advertising , mr president , ladies and gentlemen , eighty cases fatal for the new variant of creutzfeldt-jakob disease in europe and the european union , its council of ministers , the commission and parliament decides to ban animal meal and the entry of cattle over 30 months in the food chain without evidence prerequisites . we believe it is obvious that articles 95 and 133 form the basis for this directive , as the commission proposed in amendment no 1 . in accordance with the court , a total ban on tobacco advertising is not justifiable in the name of a functioning internal market . as regards the descriptores as ' low-tar ' , ' mild ' and ' light ' , yet i still believe that they are pantomime , and i am therefore against amendments nos 10 and 30 , under the sulphur content . and i also want to talk about obligation under the treaties . the rapporteur , mr maaten , with sensibly with a reference to article , article 133 concerning external trade , and it has proposed a number of changes in a number of articles in order to avoid being impugne directive on the basis of jurisprudence established by the court of justice . proposed strengthening this legal basis enunciating i am sorry that too in the committee on legal affairs and the internal market have arisen positions that they feel a sense , the court of justice 's ruling concerning the ban on tobacco advertising an empty this draft directive . indeed , in my capacity of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , i have received strong pressure from various groups in the framing of non-violence sale and presentation of tobacco products in europe . however , and this is a whole , i do not see any ban within the community , despite the fact that in countries like greece tobacco , which is so strong that , in accordance with this directive , its use for the production of tobacco products would be virtue of offence . irony in this directive cultivating tobacco is grown i think it is also necessary to extend warm thanks to mr byrne , have been expressed so clearly as regards the legal basis . over half a million people die each year in the european union , and this figure is expected to grow if we do not act now . absurdly in my opinion , this legal basis nor is worthless and for that reason it is right that the unions , which companies and that our colleagues from here relate to the loss of jobs . i want to opt for warnings , which includes a list of ingredients , which are carried out throughout europe , to take action on health promotion which help to scare young tobacco consumption , of tar , nicotine and of the addiction . fotográficas reasonable investigations also on the environment committee had willingness to reach a compromise . i am thinking crisitiana . the derogation would apply to article 3 , as i understand the amendment , namely the levels of tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide . deference to the general nature of the directive , we cannot separate some parts of the others and , therefore , we wasting self-explanatory . the estampación a warning of large in some cartons would be an adequate solution . finally , the report has received a total of 54 amendments , and i am pleased to inform you that the commission can accept 33 , either totally or partially . the main argument in favour of these amendments and drawing up a report once affects the question of enlargement of the european union , which , as was said at the nice summit , it is very timely and appropriate after five years . in short , the schedule of summer seems go hand-in-hand with greater quality of life , so that the positive effects of the period in which it has amply compensate for the problems associated with the actual change passengers . the summer-time is not the problem of our common house europe . a revised only by the commission within five years is not enough . the other hand , there are demands from manufacturers of computers or of tachographs electronically , or of timetables and agendas . madam president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , we must authorise speedy and unbureaucratic assistance is needed for patients , but it must be respected rigorously ethically motivated and people featured in the experiments must be protected as against the sexual abuse . medical research , frontières this is an important distinction that we do here in our report . so although there are still some points of disagreement with the council , i would remind you that the result that we want to get through the adoption of this directive is the fruit of a long and fruitful work of mr liese , our rapporteur , to which i thank and congratulate her management participatory and constructive , and by the council , which has been shown cooperative and open to the amendments adopted by the committee on the environment at second reading . commitment by the i am thinking especially of research in the fight against cancer , but there are many others . unfortunately , in spite of bse-related measures , new threats and diseases , and on many occasions medicinal products which are not sufficient to erradicarlas . it is a duty of the community medically ways updated or more effective sanctions against these challenges . appearing the vote will take place tomorrow at 12.30 p.m . what we agreed with the council and the commission and , of course , with the environment , public health and consumer policy of parliament , in order to prevent a second reading and continue to unhindered and that is not prudential vacuums , was that yes , that the four programmes , as requested by the commission , but that the money is spent annually , so that , if we had the approval and was not included in the new programme on health , was not necessary enlargement nor to curtailing the money for the second year . ampliaran in two years would meanwhile force with these programmes in general terms , it is high time that the member states should reach agreement on giving the european union , on a subject legitimately supranational , room for manoeuvre and an appropriate budget : diseases know no frontiers . indeed , international organisations such as europol have claimed that the importation of drugs in the union is increasing . public health is part of national politics and must remain so . in accordance with the next item is the debate on the report ( a5-0355 / 2000 ) by mrs cerdeira morterero , on behalf of the committee on citizens ' freedoms and rights , justice and home affairs , on the initiative of the portuguese republic with a view to adopting a framework decision on the statute of the victims in criminal process ( 9650 / 2000 - 2000 / 0813 ( cns ) ] . c5-0392 / 00 relations- another initiative at international level is the un convention on fundamental principles of justice for the victims of crime and abuses of power , approved by the resolution 40 / 34 of the general assembly on 29 november 1985 . perhaps you will remember the debate that took place for some time in this house about the so-called di pietro report . this initiative has three main aspects : the right of the victim to information , access to justice and the right to compensation for damages . however , in my opinion , the key element is the fact that finally takes self-awareness , also in the field of the european union , on the need to change the view regarding the state intervention in the face of crime . it should compel the member states to fundaran command of the police for victims of crime . italy has called on repeated occasions the extradition of this murderer multi-pronged to france , where lojacono is free to redeploy finally fulfil its worth . victims must be the focus of attention . as pointed out , the draft framework decision contains three different types of action : firstly , establishes minimum rules concerning the rights of victims ; secondly , lays down specific rules aimed at taking into account the particular situation of those people who are victims of crime in a member state of their country of origin and , thirdly , urges the member states to the development of victim support measures . it is already working in the networking of national systems of support for victims with the aim of ensuring an appropriate care of victims , particularly if it does not lie in the commission 's verbrechen . at european level services approval of the previous sitting has the floor to mr varela , president of the committee on fisheries , as the committee responsible . all well and good ! last tuesday , at a trialogue meeting , we have the last retoque to the joint declaration by the council and parliament . in this way , we have succeeded in finding a solution for the 2001 budget . we must consider how internally in the area of aid policy we can get all the existing needs are developed for a transparent procedures . questioned your name and told us : " is the innombrable " . the council has proceeded , therefore , at second reading of the budget lldcs account agreements concluded with the european parliament delegation , with the constant desire for a budget which will allow finance all european union 's priorities and respond to real needs and the ability to actual implementation of appropriations . vote the third element of this second reading of the council pertains to the agreement reached on the allocation of the programme " entrepreneurship " and " employment initiative ' for the years 2001 to 2005 . continues to complete the programme generally , i would like to stress that the budgetary procedure that will be completed within a few days has shown throughout the interest of the interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 . ' discussions were sometimes reñidas but were always relevant and innovation-based permanent exchanges which enabled us to better to understand each other and i therefore find it easier to reach an agreement , which i hope will be satisfactory to all . the main thing is that , as a result of the democratisation of serbia , no country in the region of the balkans , until now , at least support of the planned before it co-finance place such developments in serbia . indeed , the use repeatable , two years row , the flexibility can be considered , inaccurately stated in my opinion , as a form of revision of the financial perspectives . haug has to make some changes . today we have heard the council say that it is prepared to implement an increase of 3.5 % . thank you very much to the commission and council . mr president , i would also like to thank mrs haug on her excellent work . i suspect that flexibility is for quantities small- and revision for large businesses , but in the coming years we shall see how it works . - in a way sencilla- we are faced with the situation in which we have to decide whether or not we can approve this budget thursday . of course , we must look very carefully . but interinstitutional agreements between the three institutions are also an important sakes that seeks to achieve our having a common security planning period . the increasing pressure relates mainly to unemployment , the bse crisis and the stability pact for the balkans . . ( fr ) madam president , ladies and gentlemen , i am very happy to be before you today to present the results of the french presidency of the european union and also to assess the progress achieved in recent months . what we had promised : there is no fleco of nice . corresponds to the procedure of closer cooperation that has been provided extensively in the first and third pillars . it is both an immense challenge and an historic step towards reunite our continent . thanks to our union is being strengthened , safest of dignity , freedom and solidarity , that the market-opening . this charter of fundamental values of a few weeks ago , the freighter ievolu sun , which quarters chemicals , it averiaba around islands . anglonormandas and we had set objectives and have been fulfilled . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , i think i can say today , has seen to be strengthened preparing to accommodate new members , to re-uniting family now that we are sure to work together ; strengthened at the heart of our fellow citizens in the field of values , on the growth of employment , in terms of solidarity , and the social security and the preservation of the european social model ; strengthened and gain in hearing on the international scene . this half-year , our union also these are some of the issues that were subjected to the attention of the heads of state and government . i shall cite another news which we feel , they will have importance , as it was also discussed the organization of its cumbersome , its complexity and its nature , and the european council has taken the decision to go celebrándolas all in brussels . nice itself summits , itinerante sensible , ; however , is deeply worrying that the number of members of parliament has served as a variable for compensation for balances of the council to these problems and to other associated with the same dedicate much more closely in the future ticking a role to play a greater finalised . defence , ultimately , appropriate . ( applause ) ( applause ) the ambition that led to nice was the largest european ambition for a meeting at the summit operated for many years . madam president , mr president-in-office of the czech republic , mr president-in-office of the commission , ladies and gentlemen , the opinion of my group is acceptability to the fifteen spectacle that have given , probably aghast at this time and in what actually happens with the common viewpoint , with the spirit of solidarity , with the trust of the main european leaders . shortly after the promising europeans see direct for any minds cogent , are anunciadores of very serious consequences which leads to the draft federal europe with 27 or 28 member states . allow me also emphasise , mr president , that following nice , france occurs again as a single loser . madam president , mr president , the group for a europe of democracies and diversities deplores the fact that the presidency did not follow up the message that he was sent back in july last . many are not yet the port to be ' arrival at some stage the european union . we therefore have a limit must be considered . i think it is not only the opinion of the three groups but also from other but which have not been able to sign for technical reasons . it is desirable to promote the development of medicines in the community , since that is how it is possible to provide patients chances benefiting from treatments highly effective . i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball on his first report on the european parliament . has the floor , and i am curious to know what you pensioner said what happens . amazingly colleague fatuzzo the victim must be treated as a person in a particular situation of disorientation and anguish ... factors which are likely to become much more serious , if the victim of crime is in a member state theirs . in accordance with the next item is the joint debate on : it was desperate to see concentraban debates on the question of knowing who then it would be given a more or less , who would gain , germany and france , the netherlands or belgium , portugal and spain . whether or vote one vote if if we welcome the fact that implement a new method and we hope that , after this expectation , which is based on the possibility of closer cooperation , europe needs to be able to produce , for the future , a constitution which will restore our fellow citizens life expectancy , within this formidable project , which is the european union . adventure ; the candidate countries who are preparing for enlargement , will follow the example of egoism of our own member states . some are more than others , but the main message is clear : reassembled in an enlarged eu , expedience , which is close to its citizens thanks to the treaty of nice . happy europe can now democratically and it has dominated the self-interest . to reach agreement on the treaty , has prevented a overt crisis which would be called into question the enlargement process , although we can talk of a crisis latent with which we must now tackle . vitro extremis i do not think it would be more realistic strive reassert its own national prestige to fight for the effectiveness of the operation of the european union and do not believe that european citizens have been mobilized en masse to follow the battle naval of their leaders in nice . so , however , what grand project , eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall ! on that occasion was true for half of europe and now we have to do so for all her . after nice , no longer be possible to invoke the obstacle institutionally . firstly , imbalance between the institutions : the council far , the commission and parliament shortly . this method has died . the consequences for europe would have been absolutely incalculable . for example , you know that at the beginning of the european union , the blocking minority , could form with what is called " grandees ' , and now there are two countries three . it is fertile ground , enlargement is not possible , the european parliament occupies their own place in the debate , in the deepening of routes and ideas . the public good , of which nobody is repository - mr moscovici is right on this point - cannot be based on the sum of national interests that are criss-crossing and it neutralizan and , in this respect , prime minister verhofstadt has launched a message . salvador european commend them to be ratified . personally , i believe that the re-weighting of votes must take account of the population , as the european parliament and the commission should have been made in the council . but nice , mr president , it is not the end of the road , but the point of departure for a new phase with many challenges . therefore , i want to return to what has already been said here today on some occasions . although , in fact , it seems that we have managed to avoid paralysis of the total future enlarged european union , the wishes of the french presidency could not be reflected in the new draft treaty . mr president , for my part , nice deserves , frankly , an inadequate . i do not know whether the commission will respond to the end of this debate , but i wonder , given the absence of the council , if you have the same confident that in this parliament will have members czechs , hungarians and poles and in the baltic countries . 2004 we have not concealed the need to move forward with equal vigour and determination that we had before nice by means of achieving the goals we have , and that is the most important rendezvous with history that the commission and parliament have to meet in the coming years . enlargement the other hand , and , above all , the problem of funding for the balkans remains unresolved for the coming years . for my part , i would like to congratulate the rapporteurs , the president of the committee on budgets , the commission , the council and the presidency for their work , for the conclusion of this agreement will allow us to vote on the budget for 2001 . it is also positive that a copy of small and medium-sized enterprises , as main creators of jobs , additional credits . this will create new jobs and will continue the fight against unemployment . in football terms , it is like a dead heat to 1 . not because we have a budget and we reached an agreement in the conciliation we imagine that all our problems have disappeared . this relevance to gain nothing from the air , but of the treaties , but sometimes the european council costing acknowledged . this must be accompanied by a commitment from the college of commissioners for a fair distribution of resources for the management of the various policies , in other words , they must be accorded priority policy of parliament and the priority of the commission 's management . efficient human and material therefore , the task of the common european project is precisely the promotion of the back-up and regeneration of the environment . credit-insurance much has been phase of the post-nice process . of course , is right in referring back again to this question . no longer talk fear of military might , nor a possible advancement of the dictatorship . if we look at it appears that russia outdoes even something to morocco in the budget , and i believe this is not appropriate . if europeans were to dependent on russia , it would create a situation logísticamente very dangerous . and here is a tacis programme can only speak of a cogenerated very limited to say that it can only a drop of water in the ocean . the birth rate and increases the mortality rate , and reducing the net population is the order of one million people a year . declined mr putin , and it would be worse than he says that the issue of the future status of chechnya is not the main thing . himself , what happens in russia , with the population , with society , which gives them alike . mr president , the european union has adopted in the past few years various documents associated with russia which constitute a good basis for a close relationship with the russian federation . moreover , what means freedom for the chechen people ? this is a first step ; then try to achieve the laws to be respected , which would be the second step . in addition , the economic development will provide greater stability , and fourthly , as a result of the foregoing , onto traits of society and its citizens . but it is an excellent report which , as the common strategy , underlines the importance we attach to the relationship -the estratégica- cooperation between the european union and russia . self-defence this means concentrate our efforts in key areas such as the environment - which was mentioned by several of you have said - and nuclear safety , in my own region of kaliningrad , and in terms of improving coordination between the various sources of funding . we must avoid the mistakes which one of honourable members referred earlier and that was made at the beginning of this century , when , after the revolution leninista of 1917 , russia was totally excluded from the european issues with disastrous consequences . . ( fr ) as you know , the council has adopted a common position on the revision of directive 90 / 220 / eec . consequently , i believe that side unspecified answered the questions raised . therefore , i am ready to propose to hold this debate , quite simply have to choose the most suitable framework . . ( fr ) i have no items of information sufficiently precise to respond to your supplementary question . you cannot say that it has no precise information about it . . ( fr ) the council would remind you that the conclusions adopted at its meeting on 19 may 1998 , in terms of fraud in the areas of alcohol and tobacco . all member states have confirmed their determination to step up the fight against fraud , both within its borders and in the context of its external relations . the european union has stated on several occasions on absolute respect for which he deserves the right of asylum . in this respect , the association agreement signed in june 2000 establishes that the community assured at the latest in 2005 , access to redefinition of rights to essentials for products originating in less-developed countries . acp-comunidad european in cotonou i would remind you that the presidency is not there to express the views of so-and-so or mengano , from this or that government but of indicate what are , at a time x " , " t " , a moment the council 's positions . ' it will establish a system of these bovines not analysed in order to compensate for farmers to the market price . compra-destrucción the french presidency has sought from the outset , that we obtain a european answer to this crisis , which is a food crisis , a social crisis and a health crisis . . ( fr ) in the barcelona process , algeria endorsed a number of principles , including the rule of law . - ( fr ) i have already had occasion , some weeks ago , to explain a few thoughts on the preparation of the special session of the united nations general assembly devoted to the monitoring of the world summit on children to be held in september 2001 . subject : turkey 's commitments in the commission 's proposal concerning the association agreements between the european union and turkey asks the european council which re-examine the situation regarding the differences outstanding for a resolution , particularly when it comes to its impact on procedures for accession , in order to contribute to the international court of justice are resolved before the end of 2004 . eu-turkey association agreements in this part of the partnership we mentioned , are they going to discuss this subject on the council and the turkish government ? does it sti properly rights to defence and contribute to somehow mutual recognition ? moreover , each member state must take the decision nationally , sovereign , of compromising or not troop national in the operation . subject : the importance of tax for the internal market in an article published in the financial times in november , the president of the commission says that there will not be harmonisation of taxes or will be established common standards of taxes in the eu since the tax levels within the competence of national parliaments and should continue . questions nos . 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 and 32 will be answered in writing . the stabilisation and association agreement republic of croatia / eu arrives at the appropriate time . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , first of all like to begin by congratulating mr collins on his report , especially for their prompt report because it was important and right to react quickly vis--vis the developments in croatia , which has already mentioned the colleague stenzel . the advances made in this context are really positive . in 1991 / 92 were expelled 250 000 croatians in the kraina , the slavonia western and eastern europe . this was , of course , an historic year for the south-eastern europe . i think it is not a bad record for one year . this is important for us , and i hope we can count on parliament 's support when we come back to consulting members officially , once we negotiated this agreement . the reaction against the wahid government is strong and the peace process seems stagnated . likewise , the leaders of papua are still in prison . similarly , in our resolution , we call on the european commission to continue this trend policy . it is justified in terms of the commission 's communication from the beginning of next year , even if it were characterised by a certain euphoria outworking of those changes . the justice and the refugee camps which create delays are spaces of falling-out between the old and new powers indonesians and give insight into the fragility of the process of democratization which does not happen . what is most distressing is that in the moluccas , the warriors of jihad can act to suit itself in an unacceptable manner . irian jaya too is a victim of migration policy . and , for that reason , we have to know choose priorities , we cannot mix at the same level of social policies , issues of economic policy with the fundamental problem of respect for democracy and human rights , which must be clearly a political priority in our relationship with indonesia . environmental issues and matters this resolution states categorically that irian jaya form part of indonesia . the situation has improved and must be encouraged to president wahid government , but there are still problems horrendous . it is clearly unacceptable that tens of thousands of refugees from east timor will remain at the mercy of bandits patriotism , trying to escape punishment for their criminal past that , on behalf of the indonesian armed hostages . it is for the fourth world country in population ; it is because of its economic : what is his role regional ; it is for their environmental impact . size : docking we therefore need to link the resources and instruments policing , administrative and penal both between member states and with the eu . ( the president cut the speaker off ) mrs schreyer , you stressed here before this house on several occasions that , as commissioner responsible for the fight against fraud , sees its task in particular to guarantee the independence of olaf . it is the creation of a financial administration at community level causative of problems because the models of re-drawing of taxpayers ' money established by the so-called ' communities are badly designed and in many cases are absolutely no aptitudes . self-confident community " . i would very much like to congratulate the rapporteur , whom i admire as person and - why this report , but unfortunately i cannot do . -alguien as the report deals with the protection of the community 's financial interests and about how we handle and these are matters of major importance . due to the time i shall be brief on the exposition of the various points . the debate is closed . we have an eu law to protect firms in the mismanagement and now the commission has promised introducing its own regulations to ensure that it is delayed payments . we have other mechanisms in order to highlight instances of fraud warned not before . you , mrs schreyer , you have just mentioned the council saying that there was a member state which is opposed to the creation of a european prosecutor . i therefore believe it is very understandable that parliament gives to the court of auditors what precisely expects from these reports . neither the commission nor the member states must quantifiable exempt from its responsibility , especially not through the remission mutual responsibility for the other . what was said in all honesty and lamentó that were the case . that is a very useful for the matter and i think it was also very much aware of her to include in its deliberations on the commission and the court of auditors before drawing up this report . you can see my explanations which i consider reasonable to continue the debate on these proposals to see how we can lay down harder responsibilities . ' the first error is decisive is the lack of harmonisation . i therefore believe that we must also improve article 4 . within the single market - they are private companies , or of pension funds should be able to exercise the rights of ownership in the interests of the firms that investing and to savers and investors in them . we cannot close our eyes to reality : when there is a acquisition of actions occur restructuring of template , dismissals ... however , what do we risk to do as a parliament in accordance with the amendments tabled ? that is the principle on which perhaps we dividamos tomorrow : the principle of a law which aims to regulate the primordial takeovers and mergers . on the contrary , it would be easier to resolve the problem of identifying the powers of control authorities . the rapporteur 's amendments create confusion in the field of disputes and cannot be right to vote in favour of the confusion in possible cases of dispute . one point i want to make in connection with this directive on takeover bids is to remind you that million voters in my country and millions of people have occupational pension schemes and savings based on investment in the market in securities . crisitiana very strongly . this procedure which already exists in some member states , is concerned , however , not only to the area of takeover bids , but it goes beyond and could possibly be analysed within the framework of overhaul adopted by the commission in the field of company . finally , i would remind you that this is a framework directive conforms to the wish expressed by parliament at an earlier stage . the resale rights indispensable and sensitive of creative artists to receive a large proportion of gross domestic product of sales of their works . involves recognising further the one hand , the lobistas britons are in fear of loss of jobs . consequently , the compromise adopted by the council is nothing more than a weak reflection of the commission 's initial proposal , widely supported by parliament at first reading . i also hope the commission 's support , at least one of the three main points of dispute . it is also a question concerning the vitality and the competitiveness of the art market . in other cases , article would have been sold undoubtedly elsewhere , namely to america . however , this amendment is only acceptable in part . marketability of postal services it is my proposal , mr savary . firstly , we must ensure that the prices of postal services are favourable . secondly , we must try to ensure a high level of quality and , thirdly , we have to be able to guarantee a high availability of postal services in all areas of the european union . the committee on legal affairs was more stringent limit value of the reserved services to universal service provider , but it is equal to its proposal on the threshold of weight of 150 grammes , common rejection of the 50 laid down in the draft directive concerning the prices . finally , we cannot accept a new deadline for liberalisation in both not hague prior assessment . we know very well the difficulties which involves this subject as emotionally-laden ideologically , sometimes by both sides . consequently , despite the fact that this measure can find a newly-elected among certain members of this house and its consequences would be devastating for postal services across the european union . it also benefits the closure of small shopkeepers who provide postal services in rural areas , because they depend on postal services for their survival . if we stick to our pace , we need 100 years in bringing about an open market for the postal services in europe . madam president , i would like to make three observations . in our deliberations on this new directive should be clear one specific matter . it is not and should not be so . if there is a fair competition , the monopolists can demonstrate that they know their profession . however , if the grandmother is looking forward to receiving the visit of a postman amiable , which also forms part of high-quality postal service , we must not regret , but we should also be welcomed . anyone who turns up so badly prepared to negotiate , who has not submitted the report on the impact infractions since 1997 , who argues with the objectives which you mentioned will only be achieved if liberalizamos , and liberalizamos- , must not be surprised if it has a tropezón and falls from bruces . perhaps ideological approaches requested liberalizamos mr bolkestein , the commission is the guardian of the treaties . it is as if the average income between the rich and poor ; it could result in aritméticamente satisfactory but could not be regarded socially acceptable for , because , obviously , the existence of a very poor . bolkestein also releases cross-border mail . calculáramos run new vices mr simpson . the governments that they did not non- socialistes , but conservative or liberal . since i came to the proposal , for me it was clear that the proposal never be acceptable in a way that the commission presented . because on this opening up and that we all agree , but the rhythm is important . liberalization the effects of the first directive has not been made public , because the consequences are obvious : loss of employment and working conditions , incongruity operating throughout the territory , mainly in the field and in the working-class areas . degradation of public service the commission 's proposal provides for a progressive opening , which in my opinion it will improve services which provide the consumer at a lower price than . it is a fundamental prerequisite for the development of direct advertising . i would express appeal to the british conservatives . let me say one thing to alleanza nazionale ex-post : if this happens , you have not given a valuable respite . it only remains for us to hope that one day we surmount situations consumadas and conquering the corporatism egotistical to make europe truly progress . it only has liberalized 3 % of the market of letters . it will degraded by technology and disregarded by consumers who will not get a good service for their money . only the introduction of real competition in a controlled way and progressive , according to a timetable , you will help to achieve this objective . regarding amendments nos 60 and 61 , i agree with the principle of completing the internal market into a future date which must be determined within a reasonable period . the commission will present the same opinion and , consequently , the council will proceed on the commission proposal as appropriate . however , parliament must speak out now . my second report is therefore much to the first and incorporates amendments adopted by the plenary . it is true , commissioner , whom we have some reservations , and some differences . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like firstly to congratulate the rapporteur , mr dary , so that we commented on reform , its history and its synthesis - which i shall not repeat - . explicitly production is given in a series of special regions and the community outermost regions , which are a number of difficulties for compete in the markets and that any of the few products which have is that it is precisely the bananas . indeed , it is a restriction of chaos , because it seeks to introduce standards by which we all regirnos . there is no exaggeration to say that this issue is one of those who raised greater consideration in all the institutions . we must continue to give them the means to live buying and foremost their production . without complexes producers mr president , we must express our thanks and appreciation to the rapporteur for the treatment of this difficult report . i also want to thank the presidents of the groups in this parliament for having accepted the stubbornness of the members ultraperiféricos so that this proposal for reform of the banana sector is being discussed today in this house , we can deliver the opinion mandatory and thus be able to arrive at the meeting of the council of ministers for agriculture to be held in the coming days and enter in 2001 with a new reform of the com in bananas . time and the fixation in this debate has been said about the apparent unanimity in the committee on agriculture and rural development are to support the report by mr dary . ladies and gentlemen , i have the honour of estranged 's presence in the official gallery a delegation from parliament 's korea . this has enabled us to achieve a positive decision in favour of the media programme in the council . report ( 0192 ( cod ) ] relative to the prolongation of specific programmes for community action in the field of public health , embraced by the decisions no. 645 / 96 / ec , no 646 / 96 / ec , no 647 / 96 / ec , no 102 / 97 / ec , no 1400 / 97 / ec and no 1296 / 1999 / ec and on which we modify those decisions on behalf of the committee on environment , public health and consumer policy , on the proposal for a decision of the european parliament and council [ com ( 2000 ) 448 - c5-0400 / 2000 - 2000 / a5-0377 / 2000 ) by mr trakatellis , mr president , i would just like to take the opportunity to recall , in relation to the statements made by the commissioner to 0.15 a.m last night , that amendment no 1 commits the commission . i was glad to hear that mr prodi . ( parliament adopted the oral amendment ) amendment no 2 : parliament was forced to insist and to re-table the majority of them ; the cutback at the size of the warning , the mention of ingredients , consumer protection and especially for young people . it would , for some members , two categories of people , one that is protected and non-intensive which puts enlargement at risk for economic reasons ? . ( it ) i am particularly interested in explain why i voted against the ban on exports from the eu are to overcome a certain level of tar , nicotine and why i supported the amendments which seek to lift the ban on tobacco products . madam president , i would welcome the proposal radical using images to illustrate the harm it causes , health , as they do in canada . tobacco consumption i think this is positive , although i - and i say on this occasion - has been spent so much more preventing diseases . i would have preferred this legislation should arise with a regulation more consistent with activities aimed at our citizens across the european union . zimmerling asestarán a fatal blow to the vitality of the art market in europe , with the loss of jobs and , i fear , which will be very few living artists who benefit from this resale rights . . ( nl ) i should like to thank mr zimmerling for her work on this difficult dossier . for this reason , i am obliged to vote against the directive . and the stabilisation and association agreement , the cards programme and the european investment bank cannot constitute the main instruments of the european union 's contribution to the economic and social development of croatia . the indonesian government and army have an obligation to ensure that life and the safety of citizens , regardless of credo that denomination . we must therefore set up as soon as possible the instruments for combating fraud involving eu funds more effectively . the measure would make the eu into a single legal scope for research purposes , initiating and implementing in-court proceedings judgments relating to this type of crime . sometimes think that we lose sight of this aspect . amendments nos 11 and 13 are aimed to the system of quotas is not only within 10 years , without there being any commitment as regards the adoption of the system of flat-rate proposed by the commission and demanded by a number of our trading partners . adopts now revised as regards the recital on the preference for acp countries , we also agree with the sum of eur 300 per tonne , but we seems unnecessary to added-value " as climax ' . furthermore , the chances of getting our trading partners accept an extension so long-drawn-out would be virtually invalid . the next item is goeren 's statement on the eu / us summit of the united states of america . i recognise that it is easier said than done , but we should try to resist the temptation - and i know that the secretary of state albright shares this view - that these summits are too crypto-progressive at the heart of our political and economic relations daily . one of the main lessons was that we europeans endured an increased burden on the promotion of european security . i would be grateful if you will study this aspect in the communication scheduled for this spring and also ofreciese , apart from the analysis he asked for the other side of the house , in relation to all the aspects on which we chances of achieving new targets in the future dialogue and cooperation , in the field of foreign and security policy , but also in relation to issues pragmatic , as can be agreements on mutual recognition . detailed proposals in the context of i am also aware of the " everything but arms " initiative , which i welcome , and i would urge the commission to exploit the summit meeting to urge the united states to return to endorse this initiative . we must therefore act to prevent irredeemable which hopes to audits and those who , as mumia abu-jamal or leonard pelletier , they are in death row over many years . it is a useful idea and certainly to continue . thank you , commissioner . i am afraid that at this point i grapple under crossfire of my own group . thirdly , we must acudirse to formulas uncomplicated collection of taxes and , in particular , in the form of reversal of the passive subjects . the first conclusion is that very little can be done unless they are changed this international framework . . mr president , the first point i wish to make the commission to which i represent is that the provisions in force are inimical to suppliers in the eu on the following : software , data processing and services , web hosting [ practice consisting of abhorrent websites of third parties ] , design of websites and information . computerized services i had always heard that one of the first rules or beginning of a legislators should be : no laws which were not able to fulfil . i am pleased that the report , partly thanks to the environment committee , includes a series of important elements which received a insufficient support due to an accumulation of circumstances in the committee on transport . however , to change the order existing expertise at international level , we will have to argue for the modification of the convention 's chicago of 1994 . the advantageous position which can achieve a short-term one country to obtains at the expense of other or other eu member states . mr president , europe will pioneer of the internet at the next decade . some people are wondering , commissioner , why we are always so quickly to set taxes and establish new rules . europeans the convention 's chicago has become obsolete at this point . i do not consider the introduction of a common system of vat is a priority and i do not agree with the introduction of a common system is long overdue . our aim must , therefore , build and simplify our tax systems and not increased , but to reduce taxes . the preferred option in much of this is zero rate for the e-empresas teachings , with regard to situarlas on an equal footing with companies american and other parts of the world . harmful tax competition is in the interests of citizens and the economy . thus , for which operators from outside the union are subject to the same obligations prosecutors operators to seek to consumers , be registered for the purposes of vat in one member state of their choice , being the rates of value-added tax rule opted in consistently-applied their operations . household when services it is true that the situation is not , however , that simple . the place of origin should apply the tobin tax is of concern and i believe that the discussions surrounding the number of countries which would ensure that companies can be registered in them will be a tricky issue and , of course , lead to a complaint from the united states before the wto . conditions in which devoid of meaning that i can travel from london to brussels and barely 89 pounds in virgin airways , for example , while ride eurostar , which produces far fewer greenhouse gases and offers a way of travel much more convenient , should pay the equivalent of a few £ 250 by a similar trip . ida around completely when mr president , this debate shows how resurgen old demons . ultimately , we talked about the proposals that have been able to make the french presidency is to be made in the abstraction , with an obligation to borrowers will be recorded in all member states . imposition the measure in a position to disadvantage european airlines in relation to those of third countries and distort the structures of airfares intra-eu with regard to the intercontinental . lay however , it seems to me that only within the oecd , and not through individual negotiations bargains will be possible to reach a solution which does not spawned quite a outflow of capital of europe . i am aware that certain members are consumed with conflicting views . in this way avoids the complexity offshoot of the implementation of macro-economic criteria or similar . let me now deal with the proposal relating to the minimum level of the normal fare . as a consequence , it has not been carried out any preparatory work of store up within the icao , and it seems unlikely that during the forthcoming general assembly , decide renegotiating the chicago convention 's working groups secondary . this feeling , unfortunately , still lives on today in the encouragement of public opinion in europe . the ultimate aim of this directive is to strengthen the management of emergency situations in the north sea , through the obligation to designate ports of refuge , the ban to be done to sea during a strong and fares increased powers of intervention in the sea by the coastal state in the event of serious risk of contamination . tempest and the oil companies tells us that they have created a voluntary fund . i hope that after the impulse of nice , we have reduced the doubts and the resistance of some countries and to achieve this . we hope , of course , be it in order to guarantee the safety of shipping , because it must be aware that not one single week passes without which we interpelados with this question : " what are you doing , meps , to ensure safety , to change the rules ? " . . mr president , the commission is aware that one of the plans announced by the uk government on 8 november 2000 is the introduction of a kind of fee for users of the roads in the same way that the viñeta who pay all road transport operators , british and not britons alike , to use the road network by the united kingdom . secondly , if , in accordance with the original intention of the foreign minister , it proposes taxing to lorries stranger to subsidise to hauliers from your own country , but is this contrary to community law ? this imbalance between the taxes and levies which factored lorry drivers in the various member states distorts the conditions under which hauliers from different nationalities competing in the uk 's economic nature . on the issue of animal meal : its export is covered by legislation governing the production of meat-and-bone meal and bone meal in the european union , and also the duty of scrap of animal meal , for example , the leftovers from sick animals , legislation will come into force on 1 march 2001 . exactly the same is subject to jews are traitors and unfair . nurture hopeful that in all countries in the region uncover that services of teaching promote tolerance and not intolerance . the response from mr monti is not unexpected . question no 37 by ( h-0900 / 00 ) : moreover , the commission will propose a temporary defensive mechanism of aid , specifically designed to counter unfair practices korean during the period necessary until the conclusion of the wto procedure . simultaneously this is an issue dramatic . dirk sterckx . the industry employs over 70 000 people , but this product represents no more than a very important part of marginal costs , on a 2 % . user of coque in total question no 40 by ( h-0889 / 00 ) : we conveyed our proposal to acp countries are virtually the same time that our member states . this initiative is not the other hand , i must reassure him , in both quantities additional which could reimportation within the community market are low . aims over-regulated these countries are not , unfortunately , taking account of their situation , no negotiating capacity autonomous and therefore it is a gesture which in my view we must do unilaterally , without any counterpart . the procedure for the commission to grant financial aid will culminate in the near future , and this will affect the resources it needs ecpat for 2001 . . ( it ) we are following three types of activity in this area . in the commission 's proposal is not the question refers to geographic location of the future tribunal . . ( it ) i am not sure what you mean by ' proliferation " . . ( nl ) the question by mr berenguer fuster relates to trade names . the take as an incentive to resume our action and try to do as soon as it should make spain . the previous question you did not answer which is the fault of spain and you will make it should be done ; in this case , however , is the fault of yours . it was a good clarification to answer that i gave you earlier . the directive 89 / 48 / eec is concerned titles of vocational training with a minimum duration of three years after secondary education . subject : transport services in the gulf of bothnia between vaasa ( finland ) and umeå ( sweden ) of the gulf of bothnia will cease to operate as it has ceased to be cost-effectively since the ferry companies have been deprived of the opportunity of duty-free sales . strait maritime transport by sea strait for example , in the city of vaasa to which i referred , have been lost over the last two years 550 jobs , particularly in the tourism sector , probably due to the same ending of duty-free sales . this proposal follows the objective of the lisbon summit , because it seeks to stimulate the development and use of digital content . we also appeal to the commission to draw up proeedings are calling for submitting proposals more effective and rapid . although the content useful for companies , namely the weather and the geography - which is highly desirable , certainly - and this should not be forgotten that , as regards the content earmarked for the citizens , this is far more complex than the useful information for companies . factored only the digital content , which represent more quantity to quality , homogenizan and condensan diversity social . the second point is as important as the earlier in my view , is that we take account of small and medium-sized businesses , to companies in phase of launch . however , if we do need to virtue , if we invest and see our languages , but as bridges , as an advantage , and as such by using them , they can be the basis of the european market and a degree of independence . dimension has not as barricades i shall not go into the objectives of this programme : favourable conditions for the marketing and use of digital content , in order to promote the economic activity , widening the employability favouring the exploiting the potential of the european digital content in comparison with and vis-à-vis the united states . ; diffusion ; consequently , it is becoming increasingly important to have the right conditions for the production of digital content multilingual europe . some of them are in themselves certainly very valuable , but they will be better situated in other legal instruments which at the present decision . the vote will not carry out this afternoon and , if the largest group in this parliament believes that tomorrow 's vote , it seems to me that it is right that this proposal will be submitted tomorrow , when it comes to the vote and with parliament in plenary , instead of doing so today , which i think we should not hurried . . ( nl ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , there are increasing numbers of people who suffer disrupted by noise . the member states are free to decide when begins late at night and when the period night he continues . i am glad , therefore , on the commission 's proposal , although i see it as a first step excessively cautious . consequently , the reduction and prevention of ambient noise in the future must form an essential aspect of the european environmental policy . the group of the european united left lend its support to my great pleasure , although we would have liked to have come a little further in the search for solutions and in the way to deal with those who make money out of nuisance caused by noise . definitive him but , in any case , let me say something about the wrangling between and on the fight wings within the commission and its around , in recent times and today , here too . consequently , there is no secret that my country will have great difficulty in accepting the commission 's proposal , unless it incorporates a mechanism for sufficient flexibility to ensure that the way of life inherited from our forefathers and , furthermore , such appreciated both by the member states themselves spaniards and by our visitors foreigners , can be maintained . however , i would like to commend to the report and , of course , the commission 's proposal . secondly , there are daughter directives relating to the standards of quality . i fully support the need to harmonise the indicators of noise and methods of evaluation , the whole area of the drawing-up of plans to reduce noise and protected areas tranquilas as appropriate and extend the scope of the public information . maps of noise , secondly , the present proposal uses a new approach to assess the situation of the general noise in europe , in terms of the number of people are affected by noise . they are acceptable in principle or in part amendments nos 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 , 17 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 39 , 42 , 44 and 45 . follows . furthermore , in general , additives cannot be used for the unprocessed products - what is happening in this case , in other words , we have not been subject to any treatment that there altered substantially their original state . - mr president , on the environment committee voted , along with the ppe group in favour of mr lannoye , which , moreover , coincides with our ambitions . nobody affirms that . in accordance with the next item is the debate on the report ( a5-372 / 2000 ) by mr staes , on behalf of the european parliament delegation in the conciliation committee , on the joint text approved by the conciliation committee , the european parliament and council to amend directive 95 / 53 / ec council by the principles concerning the organisation of official controls in the field of animal nutrition ( c5-0499 / 2000 - 1998 / 0301 ( cod ) ] . laid down in directive the french presidency i became a clear signal , a message selfevident . a message which said " no " quantities . after long negotiations in the conciliation committee has finally reached a compromise acceptable : to guarantee that safeguard measures taken by the commission will remain in force until they are replaced by another decision , and the commitment of member states to provide all possible assistance to the commission officials who carry out on-the-spot checks . i welcome this legislation . the eu 's structural funds , mainly through esf as well as the finances of the exchequer , must go always aimed at less-favoured areas and poorer parts of our society . cities of europe are important poles economic , political and socio-cultural . other tools laws are clear and rigorous controls . furthermore , the commission appreciates the substantial support that you gave the european parliament in this proposal , as well as the many amendments utility which have been tabled . given the nature of the activity , the commission can accept amendments nos 10 and 23 . i say famous because that is an issue which is very fashionable , and you will agree with me that there is not a day , which the precautionary principle should not be present in holders of the press , with or without good reason , with or without reason , but the most often in a way misconceived . ' the maximalist seek to block the innovation and progress , while the minimalistic advise recourse to the precautionary principle in the event of danger to health and the environment , namely when single-currency a threshold below which must be defined , but we do not really know very well how ! meaningful only ! the clarification of the various functions which should make it a precondition to restore the necessary public confidence in the scientific community , as well as those responsible for decisions , we politicians . each in such situations tend to see a safety margin , for prudence . we have also called for measures in the world trade organisation , perhaps a regulation , which will guarantee the possibility of invoking other obligations in the context of the wto , such as those we have entered into in multilateral agreements on the environment , for broadening the scope of the precautionary principle . obviously , it is also important gain the weight of the precautionary principle , mega-airport with in a regulation of international law . legally-based the art of live consists of receiving and deal with these risks and uncertainties of cautiously . as soon as misuses too , with what we trivializa , as uses less and provokes outrage . we have , for example , phthalates in toys . we have the strange idea of introducing toy in caramelos , ice cream and other products edible . the same applies to the pretence of the commission to carry out a thorough analysis of the risks beforehand . the resolution calls upon the commission to use the guidelines adopted and incorporates the precautionary principle must always be necessary in the drawing up its legislative proposals and all its actions . it is not possible to provide a threshold of risk in general . the grant for the first time the sakharov prize to defenders of human rights within the union , the european parliament affirms that any violation of human rights must be combated uncompromising . that fighting solemnly madam president , ladies and gentlemen , first and foremost the initiative citizen-oriented " ' wishes to express its gratitude to parliament by the honourable acknowledgement that today we confers . ¡ basta ya ! and not only about murders . i ask you to do what i propose and to rely on me . ( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) madam president , if this house permission , i would like to make one final comment lip service to amendment no 51 by me . report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) by mr garcía-margallo y marfil , on behalf of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , on the commission 's communication to the council , the european parliament , the economic and social committee and the committee of the regions on the taxation of aviation fuel [ com ( 2000 ) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ] the present agreement qualifies for some companies , but it is damaging to the environment and democracy . the most important event happened since our budgetary debates precedents is obviously the crisis so-called ' mad cow " . this will clearly against the letter and spirit of the agreements above-mentioned of heads of state and government on the subject of the locations . parliament has achieved some important areas , among others , greater efforts to combat unemployment and poverty , many matters concerning the environment and equal opportunities between men and women . voted against the attacks on the right versus the life programme and against european women ' s lobby . unity the importance of the envelope envisaged for kosovo , however , to raise questions about the real power to absorption of this region of the yugoslavia of eur 350 million which had initially been foreseen allocate in 2001 . leaves no legitimate there is no reason to give tax advantages to a certain form of distribution . the setting up a final date would be a clear information for the various players postal market and national monopolies could be better prepared with regard to liberalisation . how can we wipe out with a mere decision , supported by a majority , a whole concept of the postal service is a concept which finds its roots and their explanations on the peculiarities of each state ? possibly reduced limits proposed by the committee on grs. with a fare of up to two and a half times the fare official are really far too graphic and would have devastating for service providers universal . 50 that is why we unambiguous and steadfast opposition to the majority of the intentions to those aims . . ( sv ) we believe that postal services are not a matter which should be treated in the eu , although the proposal , after the treatment of the committee , has been greatly improved in relation to the commission 's original proposal . dary report ( a5-0374 / 2000 ) however , we consider to be protected from the consequences of this war to the small producers who work in their plantations without exploiting anyone , as well as their income irrespective fluctuations of the market . under article 10 of the freedom of opinion implies a series of duties and responsibilities which may give rise to conditions , limitations and sanctions . we can only welcome this initiative is to be when we know that the value of the european accounts for 5 % in terms of european gdp and 4.4 billion in terms of employment . digital content under these conditions , are particularly its coherence and their unity which assured by the united states a pre-eminence in this market with a future . i also hope that the slipping , in 2004 , in this division of competences , applying the principle of subsidiarity so that regions and the autonomous communities can bear their status within the union . we can only welcome that . for example , in trade negotiations mentioned earlier , the national parliaments will be seen in its recent disenfranchisement of ratification , and a country , if it is minority in the council , can no longer say " no " when a negotiation violates their interests . plundered we noticed several times in the dangers of such a thing which unfolded in nice also shows quite clearly that an agenda considerably broader could result in which had not reached any result for years , with disastrous consequences for enlargement and the desirable . . ( it ) given the importance of the decisions that were to be taken at the nice summit , we must recognise the merits wherever there are none . in other words , what does the european parliament is grip on taxation and social security matters . these agreements negotiated long hours middle-of-the-night not offer no support seguro . deficiencies with regard to subjects such as transparency , furtherance of identity , more democracy , citizen participation or conscience . reforming the council in potent therefore , we see as a result of a compromise for which no-one has emerged victorious entirely victor nor its conclusions . on the contrary , diminishes the influence of national democracies , by restricting the right of veto and to be given more power for the european parliament . so we must vote in favour of this proposal to restrict the imposition of aircraft , because the airline ticket will cost us becoming less and , consequently , we can travel more with this mode of transport . continues " " no passes below the balcones of houses , you may fall one another expedience . the complexity and diversity of technological change and the processes of transformation urgently require the incorporation of all the local and regional players in regional associations for development , forming part of designs strategic regional policy for each region . structural we must therefore try to avoid anything that could smother or diminish these three important prerequisites . one could say that innovation is to all actors which lie around the production process . the gap between the regions best-developed technologically and at least is bigger than the gdp of their respective countries . as you know , the main point of paper-pushers is in danger of making mistakes . i do not know whether it was a direct consequence of the initiative which have signed the european budget , but i am pleased that this christmas box that now voted benefit in future to women . risi three marbles it is also a mistake to reduce the budget in a chapter which came up with new ideas in the field of local development and urban - with results which have been on the basis of community programmes so dear to locally as they are urban and interreg . like this devoting pilot , more aceptables- rack , i have never understood and not comprenderé ever this regional policy and this cohesion policy as a kind of alms being made to the poorest regions . that is why i am at present , the most innovative actions , i am referring to mainstream , i am extremely attentive to each of the programming documents commands a plan of access to the information society and the quality of the scale of this regional programme , especially as regards directly to small and medium-sized enterprises , educational establishments and even agricultural holdings , when the negotiations , docup , to deal with verifico , beyond regionally . the commission 's reply to mr titley 's question . prices for the construction of new boats have fallen dramatically in recent years to get in 1999 , due to the policy surcoreana , at the lowest ebb . the commission had to make a separate vote for this item was today on the agenda of the debates . incidentally , this concept is in accordance with the treaty . i do not have time to discuss in more detail . however , the commission 's proposal , which includes an aid to research and development , the denunciation of what is happening in north korea to the world trade organization - are working with pricing below the coste- , and the possibility that aid measures are not resolved the resource , seems to us , perhaps , a exit more or less weak , but at least a deadlocks . transitionary in both even at the same time should increase the pressure on north korea , taking anti-dumping measures , if possible within the oecd . this means that we are listening unemployment and the other warlords are the ones who really do the business with shipyards . i think that it makes radiografía 's excellent ship-building industry in europe , a radiografía real . this process does not produce results quick and , in case of reaching its final conclusion , will until two years . the mechanism apply until the whereupon a decision on this procedure of the wto . i am sure that we are all united with vigour and with fortress europe , but i wanted to say that , rather than the solidarity of fellow meps in the european parliament , in spain we need your commitment . now to defend freedom in surfing by waters of sicily , apart from the month of may , his heart showed signs of nuclear worrying deterioration . it would be alarming that , in this situation , not actuáramos sooner . in both endorses the need for the two member states concerned , the united kingdom and spain , cooperates closely in the search for solutions safer for the repair of submarine , maintaining - naturally take public punctually uninformed . we have heard assertions of the responsible armada british saying that the sank was not importance , and others said that the opposite , which was of scale and that was the reparations long and difficult . i know that the house understands that she had been here for having been possible , correspondiéndome to me to respond in his place . the commission is examining this plan . it is already taking place ; therefore , let us be realistic about the options available to the authorities in the uk and from gibraltar to deal with the matter . cooperation calm method is that employs our union . the british government is behaving as was recently the russian government during a breakdown occurred in one of its submarines . mr president , i too would like to express my deepest sympathies to our spanish colleagues here in the last assassination terrorism of eta . the commission , in its clear response from two months ago in your reply today , has had the responsibility of admit it , although i do not recognize that the proposal for a resolution of the ppe group who , together with other trivializaciones the matter , prevented us from and live with that . the prime minister peter caruana has asked wisely by a panel of experts to inform it directly . it is and remains in our view , the posture more coherent and the best guarantee that the interests and the safety of all parties involved . maij-weggen and mr posselt , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; in 1980 , the unhcr he became a five million refugees . we welcome the commissioner today unhcr and the whole of the humanitarian personnel . mr president , the commission would , of course , adhere to the support which parliament has given to the unhcr in its 50th anniversary . i want to address a wider issue which is very relevant for what you said earlier . b5-0909 / 2000 by mrs pack and others , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; finally , i would like to mention is the problem of the terrible events in the border between serbia and kosovo . there must be milosevic and not in the congresses party in belgrade . we propose that the mentality of ethnic groups which continue bickering succumb to the mutual respect . equally within the same kosova without heaping flowers , we can also say that the european union has responded very quickly to the new situation . b5-0915 / 2000 by mr medina ortega and others , on behalf of the pse group ; b5-0918 / 2000 by mrs napoletano and others , on behalf of the pse group ; the chilean government ensured that , in chile , general pinochet would have a fair trial and , indeed , at the moment , general pinochet has lost his immunity and judicial authorities chilean are acting against him . and let me remind you that it is important that we approve this joint resolution and are now pinochet in chile , what we were unable to do when pinochet was in the uk . i say this in the knowledge that these are the convictions of fundamental parties of the greens / european free alliance and the green group in this house . mr president , before i start my speech i would also like to add to the condemnation of the attack that has cost the lives of an elected representative of the people , to a militant and councillor of the european people 's party in catalonia , in spain . for this reason , i am delighted that my group and , in my view , the majority of our parliament , cannot be left to drag play the role of sounding for sexual exploitation of the current crisis . his life is in great danger . the league of human rights is waived , and its president , moktar trifi , has been announced before the courts , as you have just said , the 25 december . its premises are precintados activists of human rights , members of unions , professionals , journalists and students first-come-first-served constantly on the atrocities that commit authorities . your state is extremely delicate . the harassment journal and the tundas who receive all democrats really become more widespread . i hope that in this case the judicial system chilean will continue to show independence and efficiency . we know that the heads of mission of the european union are closely monitoring the political situation in the country . finally , i would like to mention the crucial role played by the european parliament , which has contributed to raising awareness and to intensify the dialogue on these matters through visits bundestag and through public debates like this . laurent gbagbo must undertake a genuine policy of national reconciliation , which includes break with the speech on the concept of ivoirité , changes in the constitution and the democratic elections in which none of the candidates remaining excluded . otherwise , the risks of secession and civil war will not only increase . racist mr president , for months homogenised news of the ivory coast came causing justified alarm in the european public opinion and the corresponding concern in parliament . preconditions for this are : that no-one feels excluded which revoke the supreme court established by the military power , and that the head of state is involved in the process of democratic and that we will hear the views of the committee for national reconciliation . unambiguously refurbishment the concept of ivoirité seems to me , in my view , perfectly well founded . there disposable around a dozen copies in the chair . mr president , on behalf of the greens , we also withdrawing our resolution . mr president , i can confirm what mr turco just said . ( the minutes were approved ) with regard to these people , the member states must european-scale different policies confront both the subject of the care needed as the issue of the coverage of expenditure , especially in the interests of disable people whose relatives cannot become truly conscious of them definitive and completely . mr president , i am very pleased to speak on behalf of the greens / european free alliance and to congratulate the rapporteur for this excellent report . currently , people are increasingly has greater expectation of life through resources , to information , to care , to housing and to the pension systems . health-based who can do something , with many recommendations , are the governments of member states , the governments of the autonomous regions and municipalities , provinces . the basis of this conception of human life is in the family , where the human being is developed since the childhood . it often happens that in recent years of our lives , enfermamos very seriously , we ran perfectly disabled and need for the support of all . i should like , finally , underline something linked to health care . well then , alegaba that women were not to participate in working life to men skilled work . in an initial analysis , this may seem a disadvantage . we must find the means and the way for it . the innumerable elderly active should encourage us to everyone to fight for a society where the solidarity between generations is not just a catchword . these measures must be adequate for the different situations and features in relation to the quality of life and the self-sufficient economic . only a joint effort permanent will help us confront . there must be an adequate margin for preferences and decisions animal-specific . if someone is all the objects which lacks , is asking for the reported ; above all their glasses , because mrs flemming was behind you , mr fatuzzo to our colleague . finally , it would be necessary to return to the introduction of explicitly in the text is possible to carry out actions in favour of the products of ultraperipheral regions and their logos . another issue which must be stressed is the methods of production in europe should be environmentally friendly and with animals . that is why i welcome the creation of a working group on biotechnology in the european parliament this week . naturally , these measures , the communication institution- should rather supplementing operations assembled primarily by the large distribution . advertising take-off if parliament 's proposals , which were adopted by majority - but this shows once again the impotence of - in the sense that it could be cultivate legumes , could be sowing clover and allow the cattle , we could have more basic foodstuffs , the more proteins for cattle . fallow land of transposed here on three occasions pastase this is the responsibility of producers , for dealers and the organisations of the branches of production , but not the european union . we must ask ourselves why have we failed in the past when it comes to push that european industry regarded the resources available . certainly , if we can produce and promote food in a more benign for the environment , conscious of the conditions of animals and sold in international markets , then we shall be doing truly the original vocation of the common agricultural policy . with regard to amendments nos 21 and 22 , which calls for the creation of a management committee as well as amendments nos 7 , 19 , 23 , 27 , in which require further changes the procedure , i must say that the commission must observe the rules of procedure consistent . especial all that recall that in europe is still possible dinner at home are right . mr president , it is scientifically proven that the moderate consumption of wine is one of the best ways of preventing cancer , collapse , alzheimer 's disease and many others . . ( nl ) i wish to compliment the rapporteur for his work .
