we know very well that the current treaties not enough and that it is necessary to the future of develop a more effective and different structure for the european union , a more constitutional structure which clearly indicates what are the competence of member states and what are the powers of the european union . 
messages of concern first of all to the economic and social problems that we are , despite the sustained growth a result , many years of effort on the part of our citizens . 
the current situation , particularly intolerable for many companies and independent of transport for european agriculture , must be improved . 
reach an agreement on the processes is a good thing in itself , but we must ensure that this system will not be of strength hits policy . 
also now have a clear vision of rights that they must respect . 
i agree with its warn against the return , which tries to some , intergovernmental methods . 
we have to a federation of nation states . 
the rapporteurs have stressed the quality of discussion and the need to go further . course , i can only the join . 
i also thank all those who have kindly accused of not having done this speech earlier . to them , i would say that to make a speech before , it must learn , evaluate the forces in , because the political debate must always be realistic and close to the reality and the objectives we want . 
i would like the we talk of this cooperation to give some examples of the new european recyclability . 
the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . 
the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . 
i shall vote in favour of the draft regulation . 
the reports of the european court of auditors is having to also to meet these sous-estimations , greece in the portugal . 
consequently , we have not voted for this report . 
in the defenders of these buses , these are not only cheaper and can be used throughout the world , but they are also more ecological because of their fuel consumption by passenger is less high . 
the role of ' benchmarking ' in terms of dissemination of good practice throughout the eu is also underlined . 
a binding charter and comprehensive enumerating the rights that must be respected , risk of making difficulties at a later stage . 
i thank both for their tremendous commitment . 
we do not believe that this dialogue can already be completed in nice in less than three months , and for that reason alone explain our refusal to accept the proposal to include the charter into the treaties at the nice summit . 
the csu group in parliament , welcomes the draft charter of fundamental rights together and make the visible rights which have the citizens of institutions and bodies of the eu . 
it is on the image of the european liberal europe which is built . 
in fact , i would have preferred the freezing of this charter so that we can continue to work , as proposed by the amount of non-governmental organisations of various countries of the european union . 
( a5-0248 / 00 ) by mr queiró , on the hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ) ; 
i would like to propose that the european parliament is more , the european year of general report , but confines itself to national reports show that we attach to a continuation of differentiated negotiations . 
it seems that then , on the basis of the work which have been committed by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be able , at least i hope , to give , the european council in nice , a fairly accurate view of the accession process . 
i have already said this and i have no difficulty in the again here , the french presidency is shy of any difficulties which are , but that does not , of course , we have the time and resources to deal with each of them . 
this question is , of course , perfectly legitimate , but it is to respond properly and carefully . 
enlargement is a broad perspective that we must deal with great with generosity and vision . 
all the results of the intergovernmental conference does not respond to the huge the pressure that the enlargement in terms of adaptation . 
the second major change and we are facing europe must adapt to is the acceleration blamed the development of economic towards a world market and a global competition . 
fourthly : that is the principle that the member states have begun the process later have a good opportunity to make those who have started more quickly . 
in those areas where considerable investment and long-term strategy is needed to achieve standards of the eu , we should bear in mind the fact that the member states have also , in such cases , asked for long periods . 
on the safety of borders and the fight against crime taking our standards and also the benefits of european cooperation . 
if the trade that there is currently between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . 
i was pleased that the commissioner finally beginning to talk to inform the population to say that the fears which has been mentioned have no reason to be . 
but one thing is clear - and i am pleased that the commissioner has once again underlined : there can be of transition period in terms of democratic rules . 
on this point , we need the support of the commission 's proposal , even if the political , is the ammunition are sometimes lacking . 
it is essential so that we can , as the european union , we set the objectives to carry out our own internal reforms . 
however , we are not agree with some aspects and essential questions . 
this runs counter to the european union , to its future independent in relation to the north america and to a policy of security and defence policy , as that creates risks with russia and the other countries . 
we hope that there will be results , and that we must not refer to another intergovernmental conference that must be made to ensure that enlargement takes place . 
i brief as i , as i have already been , as i have three minutes left of my time in my first speech . 
it is very important , and this point of view , i am pleased that the commission is working on an information campaign that commissioner verheugen to both the broad and decentralised . 
but - and this is my last word because i want to make it clear : i am not a pessimistic in this respect , i is not ' small arms ' , i want a strong option to the enlargement - to be credible , we must also be seriously , we must also be understood , it must also be support of the people , people of the candidate countries as of our peoples . 
for the moment , i see no need to discuss the financial perspective to the enlargement . 
i can tell you that the regard to none of them ! 
it is to be the same reason that they have also expressed the hope to join the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . 
i am given work of the rapporteur with regard to the estonia . 
as a member of moderate party , i am extremely thrifty when it is of the taxpayers ' money . 
only then , i think you to get an idea that the latvians have done in recent years . 
that is not enough , the whole of the strategy must be more turned to the citizens . 
the lithuania has a considerable potential for sustainable economic growth . 
the broadest sense , it affects the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . 
i now turn to the other weak point : the support of the public , in the european parliament and to the outside of the european union . 
by following a fiscal policy , intelligent foreign direct investment is were , the last year , to more 5,45 billion of . 
we should not , we should not germans , other ! 
the slovak democracy is growing of a stable , which is not always been the case . 
i propose , in this speech to stress , and resume the six aspects of the development of the situation hungarian , which deserve to be highlighted in the prospect of accession to the european union . 
i am pleased to see that this issue was envisaged in the general report on the enlargement presented by mr brok . 
it is also and especially the case in the nuclear sector , where the legitimate concerns on the safety of nuclear and environmental likely to be exploited by the anti-nucléaire lobby . 
the formation of a high level group on is a measure that i urge colleagues to . 
the report that i have the honour of you and which has also been adopted unanimously in the commission , note that part of the territory checked by the legal authority fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . 
to this end , a key role will of course , without prejudice own role in the commission , to the high representative for the cfsp , mr solana . 
however , the main problem which malta to is that the government and the opposition deem differently to the accession process and that the european union is committed to the fluidity of this process . 
even between the usa and mexico , the levels are closer . that is why we are , in the internal market , for a thought-out strategy , flexible and the extent of the challenge . 
but i believe that it is also possible to express my respect for the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe obtaining the courage , there is , of ten years to the streets and who have contributed to this process in motion . 
the of the information society is important for the industry , old or new . 
we must not allow ourselves to blinded by the percentages of community law transposed into national legislation . 
but the ten new countries of eastern europe have not of this uncle of america . 
this also applies , and that is degrading , for the transport of live animals to the slaughterhouses . 
for all major legislation , we are now to impose an assessment of the impact on health . 
in my report on must also talk of the european union and stress that the funds for the regional development cannot continue to be available on the basis of a simple accounting distribution between the regions . 
elmar brok has started to rightly his speech by pointing out that we will all the recipients of enlargement , in particular we which we are on this side of the current external border . 
the development of internal waterway transport will be essential for environmental reasons , because we remove quantities of freight from road to , and if we cannot carry on the railways , we must use the waterways . 
it has also referred to selfishness and of populism , and the drop in the euro is does nothing to improve the situation . 
the message we want to give the applicant countries is as follows : ' do not mislead the extent of the reports and dossiers which are before you . 
unfortunately , there is at this time too of parties who have lost their ideology and testify that is a idealism inadequate and of a european materialism excessive . 
there is defer the right acquisition of land and use of housing at reunification , différons-le . 
it is up to now , but is certainly threatened by the lack of transparency and the bureaucratic resistance obvious , but not public , of certain governments . 
where are also acceding to the millions of jobs promised by the maastricht treaty ? 
as we in the process of revising the treaties , some member states already to call a new reform . 
the great majority of international investigations on this subject are gains of the european union to macroeconomic , linked to enlargement . 
however , exception of minorities insignificant , no political group is in question the main objective of the slovenian policy , which is to be very quickly in the european union . 
if the eu is enlarged quickly , it should disintegrating strongly as it is proposed in the position of on the enlargement of the eldr group . 
in my view , it is clear that the institutional prescribes regime has many long-term consequences for the health of orphans . 
i therefore ask you to support the proposals for amendments in this direction . 
and , even though we european politicians , do not understand quite well in the negotiating process . 
cyprus become a sort of bridge to the countries of the region . 
i wish the negotiators continuation of the success of their work in this important area . 
a second form of communication is also necessary between our countries and the countries to the candidate countries in order to explain that is what the european union . 
we cannot afford to lose more impetus to the that existed in the early 1990s . 
mr president , first of all , as socialist rapporteur for the report on the romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur on his excellent work . 
it is for the institutions , for the member states , for all of us , we live up to this challenge , but also with the concerns of our own citizens , and to find the breath , the ambition and the vision of the founding fathers of europe . 
i have the impression that , despite all the fine words and the many chapters that the council has examined in applied , this process of enlargement is not supported or driven by the european energy policy necessary . 
many countries of the european union have broached similar problems to a at some point in their development and can advise the bulgaria to help to overcome those which it must now face . 
democracy is not just a question of majorities , it is also a question of codecision appropriate of minorities . 
the candidate countries will be on an equal equality and their accession should depend that of their own development . 
the same time , we should acknowledge the efforts made by countries such as the lithuania which catching , so to speak , the lost time . 
we therefore interest to extend our system of rights and freedoms to romania and this is an argument to make in the debate criticism with the european public . 
however , it is a question on which the indication is - namely that of enlargement . 
my group therefore supports the limitation of transitional periods in relation to the environment to a maximum of five years . 
mr president , we must give a positive impetus to enlargement . 
the debate is certainly open as far as the order in which these countries will join , because it will also check the state of progress of their internal reforms . 
i welcome the very positive report on the slovenia and of considerable efforts in this country to meet the criteria of copenhagen . as head of delegation , i have seen to take on board on several occasions , the commissioner . 
in my opinion , the proposal is to be taken into account . 
these forms of violence and exploitation of women must be condemned and now combated by all means , both in the eu and in the countries to the candidate countries . 
to conclude , i would like to take this opportunity to join number of members , i agree with the thoughts and the concerns , and stress the need to look carefully finally the question of the borders of europe and , following , the scope of its enlargement , and the opportunity , for the european parliament , for a special report to this . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
it is time to time to remind , rightly , in this house that a europe of citizens must be a europe in which the community legislation protects their rights as it should . 
i put the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . 
we know that undesirable substances and products are very often the toxicity of substances violent , but that it is of substances that are taking place to term in the human body and which have a long period of life , such as the dioxin crisis , aflatoxines and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and the mercury . 
it is not possible to find the perpetrators . 
if we are to allow this dilution , we must at least in notify the services of control and it is to say that these publicly watering exist because this problem must be made public and to the subject of a public debate . 
to be highlighted the following : of the dioxin crisis has been the result of criminal acts to the existing regulations . 
mr president , i thank the members who have spoken before me . 
it is a pressing need . 
for example , of fishmeal , the limit value is different from that which is proposed for the products of animal origin not maritime . 
it is time to break with a false interpretation of the subsidiarity principle which is more each day increase the tutelage of brussels on our nations . 
like the rapporteur , i think that all these measures are justified , as it is justified to examine the case of substances which it refers , which are not toxic in itself , but increase the toxicity of mixtures . 
unfortunately , a lot of know-how , generations of common sense , are lost , in this era of industrial agriculture where animals are more than production units and goods . 
the new regulations will together , harmonise and simplify the rules health very detailed and complex to those who have been scattered number of directives . 
the number of people who want to hear what are the precision components is , in my research , relatively small . 
secondly , the farmers who are the producers of ingredients of animal feed , are indeed a change . to the future , we will destroy a much more important part of their basic products . 
the compensation is necessary , even if it is clear that the farmers themselves are also very concerned well-being of their cattle . 
amendment no 18 propose explicitly to include the water in the definition of feed . 
on the basis of these different evaluations , the commission propose to the member states appropriate measures to limit the presence of concerned substances in animal feed . 
in the amendments submitted to the adoption of this house , i am grateful for parliament 's support for the proposal . 
to summarise , therefore , the commission can accept in full 15 of the 27 amendments . 
i assume that this time , they will not succeed . 
the commission has promised that it is working and it has also said that list would not be ready tomorrow . 
the farmers should simply know - and this , at least on request and form of percentages - that all these contain compound feedingstuffs and in what quantities . 
finally , i would like to thank the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , as mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and hope that the council will in the field a constructive attitude , so that we can lead to a transparent system on the declaration of feed . 
this , of course , due to the tragedy of the bse crisis which has been a thriller , to several chapters . 
the toxic products , which affect the health of humans and animals , are not acceptable . 
but begin with the positive points . 
the proposal to examination is the beginning of a series of initiatives which are based on the white paper on food safety . 
thank you , commissioner . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by me queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , of the human rights , common security and defence policy of , on the request for membership of the hungary in the european union and the state of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] 
report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , of the human rights , common security and defence policy of , on the request for membership of the romania to the european union and the state of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] 
thirdly , and it is perhaps the most important difficult , the council must be to agree on new institutional arrangements which allow the community to function effectively , efficiently and democratically after enlargement . 
even if you support the principles of the article 13 , it is clear that the derived legislation that the european union in this is sometimes very far , and that there is no reason to reject the candidate countries the right to cultural differentiation . 
i should like to make the fact that the process of enlargement must be done in gradual , the rate of the adaptation of the candidate countries . 
. ( es ) in the current context and in the reservations which have started to be heard on the enlargement of the european union , it is important that parliament is a clear political gesture in favour of it . 
. the european union , since its creation , vocation is to bring the people . 
criteria of the council in copenhagen in 1993 , on the democratisation or of the ability to support the strengthen competition , as a ' acquis communautaire ' , the reign of a european capitalism and destructive . 
a leap forward in the enlargement in these circumstances , threatens to accelerate the excesses populist and fascistic here and which promising . 
the agenda of this sitting contains precisely a report relating to the equal opportunities between men and women , which illustrates once again the mediocre situation of the community acquis in this area . 
which could in fact denying the entry , in the european home , of the copernic of poland and of paul ii , of the hungary martyred in budapest in 1956 or the capital of symbol , prague , when the democracies défenestraient the head of state and crashing the people of jan palach anh , for freedom . 
a europe more extensive , the tasks and the duties more needs to have greater financial resources . 
i take this opportunity to send my greetings to the elderly and pensioners of estonia , in the expectation that it is their means of existence in the european union . 
i therefore see no reason for the latvia is not permitted in the european union , if it continues to progress the same pace and again that the union will put the necessary adjustments of its institutional structure and its policies to deal with enlargement . 
i therefore see no reason for the lithuania is not permitted in the european union , if it continues to progress the same pace and again that the union will put the necessary adjustments of its institutional structure and its policies to deal with enlargement . 
progress is also obvious , in the field of environment , with the implementation of the national fund for the protection del ' european environment and the application of the ' polluter pays ' principle . 
in doing enter the poland in the common house , the european union will be justice in relation to the new arrivante : a justice which has too long . 
i hope that the czech republic join the european union quickly . 
. ( pt ) i welcome in the queiró report on the request for membership of the hungary in the european union and i share most of the , the rapporteur 's conclusions . 
i hope that the bulgaria join the union in the not too distant future . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
it is of a european positioning fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take into serious consideration . 
i hope , in this regard , the negotiations under the auspices of the un will lead , so as to ensure that the people greek and turkish cypriots have together , of the benefits accession in the framework of a republic reunited . 
. i warmly welcome the poos report on the candidacy of cyprus to accession to the european union . 
however , we consumers , we are at last stage of the food chain and is the final réceptacle misappropriation of counterfeiting and of food . 
we attaches particular importance to implement , at european level , and practical way of food safety , since the farm to table , or for the hayfork to the fork . 
it is precisely because we are in favour of the development of cooperation relations , really greetings and between equal partners , really between all the countries , that we have not the intention , through our vote , to support farce . 
the council has informed parliament before the vote in committee , but only just before it , and deliberately excludes any chance to review the issue with me or with parliament . 
in my report , i am representation and a greater involvement of ngos , a strengthening of the responsibility for the european parliament , the establishment of a report which will be discussed in parliament , a degree of transparency the highest possible , the promotion of the past as an instrument of the fight against prejudices and the recognition of multiple discrimination . 
in the same time , the justified interests of workers must be taken into account . 
as a high responsibility the social partners in regard to the rules on discrimination on the place of work , these are best placed to develop practical solutions . 
replying to my invitation jenny , was time there , as coordinator of the group bottleneck charter . 
practice , because the directives and programmes of action , to encourage the one hand , the member states to combat discrimination on the basis of the same principles and the other hand , the commission to play its role as guardian of the treaties but also of guide in the social debate . 
well that the legal basis release of appropriations for new preparatory actions , their funding in this category could lead to a reduction in appropriations for other policies . 
ladies and gentlemen , we have in the proposal for a framework necessary but insufficient , we shall have the opportunity to improve the mechanisms that once a a certain amount of time to the application will be passed . 
i hope that the commission , in the light of this new directive , parliament will closely to the discrimination based on sex . 
i congratulate the commission , and that the perpetrators of reports . 
i am satisfied with the opinion of the mann report to enable organisations to ideological basis to ask , if necessary , the staff regulations of the demands to the recruitment on this basis . 
the speed with which the institutions have made use of new powers of amsterdam proves , madam commissioner , that the european union still its status pioneer in terms of the equality of opportunity , and it is for that reason i would like to thank the european commission . 
the fact that there is in our society various kinds of discrimination confirms the importance of the action programme in presence , for this is that the report by mr cashman . 
mr president , on behalf of the bonino list i should like to express the cry that we have the manner in which the european union and member states treat the issue of discrimination , the issue of racism and xenophobia . 
the commissioner explain why the commission does not take account of this ? 
the second issue i would like to is that the ngos , for important they may be , are invited to take in the implementation , regardless of their size , of their nature and of what they lead . 
the liberal group and democratic all this has evaluated positively and particularly the work of parliament to insist , which has also and above all , on the prevention phenomenon and not only on the good practices . 
it is a challenge for us all , because we consider the other on a first impression . 
mr president , combat and legislate against discrimination is recognise that there are even and that they are , for many of them , legalised ' ' because trivialised . 
the first , unctad , the united nations conference on trade and the development asked , in 1963 geneva to the principle of compensatory inequality , to the discrimination . 
in fact , as the information and awareness are here to the fundamental importance , they must be a ambiguity and serve to inculcate a new mentality , a new way of thinking and to be , so that prejudice still widespread in diffuse in the population to be completely eradicated and that a real parity is guaranteed in legal terms between all the citizens . 
it is important to move the two legislative initiatives discussed today , however improving in some of their aspects and increasing the amounts for the programme , to reflect the political importance of the fight against discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the principle of it adjustments reasonable , including sweden and ireland have the pioneers , will now that the employers in the whole of europe , adapt their places of work , acquired of equipment and change their working methods of tries to a fair chance to disabled employees . 
the article 13 is the point of departure for a new objective of the eu : the fight against discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens through the statement made in this article . 
the second point i would like to highlight is the unfortunately gross mistake committed by the commission with this first ' package in that she has given a list of priorities in the grounds of discrimination . 
mr president , discrimination on the religion is unacceptable , as any other form of discrimination . 
as secular convinced , i cannot therefore to associate myself . 
however , it generous to be given every citizen of the maximum freedom as possible , provided that it is compatible with the same extent freedom for the other , is still suffering from the obstacles - some of the fact of law and the other . 
one of the directives has already been adopted in record time , and i believe that the other a good chance of being adopted during the french presidency in november . 
some do not comply with requirements , as the amendment on agreements between the committees . 
however , i cannot accept amendment no 38 , which seeks to delete article 5 of the list of the differences treatment on the basis of age , which could be justified . 
you mentioned the important issue conformity of the contractual . 
this is the first time that we allow joint projects in this programme of action . 
it is clear that the more code will overall , it will be effective . 
article 7 of the code commits the member states to prevent any transfer of arms to users of inappropriate . 
mr president , i confess that the time when the nostalgia submission of the european parliament , but also of various non-violent movements and the unions , of incentives to think and act in the direction of a gradual reduction of the production of weapons , where the question is asked how we could increase the use of military solution to the civil use . 
given the situation in which they are now the world and our continent , after the end of the cold war and breaking the equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , this would be irresponsible . 
these weapons are , so to speak , the symbol of the european anarchy in many places in the world . 
the cfsp is a activity to treat the situations of crisis outside the borders of the eu , and that is not which can be described as a defence policy . 
their aim is to prevent the export of arms to the governments who violate human rights , the regions in of conflicts or regions of engaged in races to the arms . 
the commission , in cooperation with the member states , has actively participated in the drafting of the joint action by the european union 's weapons of small arms and light . 
the next item is the communication on the commission of the european research . 
introduction of new forms of intervention for the longer term , intermediary between the support of the projects and funding institutional , use the instruments to variable offered by the treaty , particularly the participation of the european union to the national programmes as it is in article 169 of the treaty . 
what we want strengthen , this is nature of hierarchies and it depends on the form of intervention . 
you say consider a revision of the total framework . 
i think that we need now is something that the structure of the european research , that is something that goes beyond the framework in which has tier of national programmes ; we need an element of structure , this means that we have to accept the . 
on the thoughts with the stoa , i believe that we must do something together , as the house , the joint research centre , the institutions of vision in the different member states are concerned . 
it seems that the commission proposal to hobble forward to the achievement of the european research area . 
it will be a chapter on the sciences , the society and the citizens . 
of contacts have taken place with the authorities in greece , the island of ireland and portugal to ask the government of these countries to speed up the presentation of the commission to their projects under the cohesion fund . 
probably the absence of the service that you mention , which was in the previous commission and which was devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund , does not to have more concrete . 
my second question is : is the exception of the cohesion fund , there is a community support framework , the structural funds , the regional programmes . etc. , of which countries you received the final projects and programmes of which countries you already approved ? 
in 1989 , the commission has introduced a new proposal to more flexible . 
i have heard the arguments of mr bolkestein and i know that the rule of the principle of taxing the treaties banned foreigners than the domestic companies , but the law of the general competition in europe should apply , and when the levels of taxation are totally disproportionate , we should consider the effect that the legislation on competition can have on the situation , and this in spite of the general rule that this is is a prerogative of member states . 
if you retain the fuel , it must be done through the tax on fuel , and not through other forms of taxation . 
i say to mr purvis that the issue of regional natural disadvantages is probably the national governments as the part of their electorate is in these regions and to opt out . 
mr president , commissioner , i thank you for this information . 
during the spring and of the summer , the commission has made a general review of its activities and its resources . 
we have some information in this direction . 
these children , in a increasing proportion , are exploited by tourists and of the business , which for a significant number of them are of europe . 
the commission believes that all companies will be able to prepare time for the final conversion to the euro , including in the adaptation of their systems and of their software . 
this debate philosophico-politique is more to the agenda but we can discuss in general dangers of a referendum , although perhaps in another context . 
this also applies to the momentum . 
a point has recently been sent to the french authorities . 
as to the candidate countries , i can tell you that of meetings have taken place with them on the transport of animals and that of preliminary agreements were concluded . 
the commission has been informed in the season sowing the spring of this year of the interception of imported seed in conventional varieties of different species , there understood of cotton , containing traces of gm seeds . 
however , after consultation of its services , i am able to inform you that the fundamental requirements of safety in the field of computer equipment for private use or professional are set by a directive on electrical equipment , the directive ' low voltage , as well as by the directive on diplomat and on telecommunications terminal equipment . 
however favourable is with me that the distinction made between the safety and security in the work class or security for working to a child is in fact this is not a ? 
perhaps serrera-t-il the hand of president khatami . 
aung san suu kyi is today facto under house arrest . 
i am therefore reluctant to go further in the field of trade or to advise other actions on the trade and investment . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
those who have said that were for example , some of meetings electoral which they had been . 
the questions 16 to 44 will receive written answers . 
what we want , it is a european consolidated report , published and examined by this parliament . 
we should concentrate on the transition to degeneration of arms and not the way in which we will ensure our competitiveness in relation to other countries in the world are arms . 
the five permanent members of the security council , who are supposed ensure on our security , should listen to these proposals and to negotiate as soon as a arrangement really worthy of the 21st century . 
the debate of today is an important milestone in the process of reform that the prodi commission has started there is a little more than a year . 
i do not have to have the impression that in its haste to produce a proposal within the deadline set by the white paper on reform , the commission has failed to address properly the details . 
i therefore propose that the financial controller and the internal auditor all produce two annual reports of aware of their activities . 
the van hulten report even more , and with reason , the distinction litigated by the commission . it is a good starting point for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . 
hope that this is not repeated . 
if we create a rule on the major institutions , the principle of independence put forward by the committee of wise men must prevail everywhere . 
we very often lived in the past situations in which the decision-making excessively long have caused to the 222 the disappointment and the loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
i would say to the commissioner that this report is that a transitional stage . means that it is the first phase of the construction of a bridge between the system of control which we now have the system and what we want after the reform . 
that is the proposal which is before you . 
that is when they will not be possible for the that the sampling , the process of sampling , which will also often controlled , will withdrawn . 
beyond the words , we are all aware that the task will not easy . 
i also think that we are not qualified or , as politicians or as technicians , we have to work only to the resolution of this problem . 
fortunately , the vast majority of children and young grow in a middle free of such harmful factors . 
i fully share the view expressed by the president of the commission , when insists on the need to create such a catalogue statutory ; we must , i strengthen the principle of subsidiarity and it is important that the eu is entitled to set of policies in a large number of areas in which the political problems are not . 
according to information from the world and for all the areas of knowledge become accessible for the domicile in the shortest possible . for them , communicate with the whole world is a ordinary . 
arrested very quickly , the police they say : ' it is joke , in the operas , it is not also take easily ' . 
the legislator - here i conclude , mr president , not everything , but it is sometimes remind the rights and duties of everyone . 
i am also very sensitive to comments which have been made on the education , on the training to read the pictures , on the awareness of young generations to have a critical approach to the media and not consume , and nor is it is , when problem is . 
if such a report does not to make progress on , to improve the mobility or at least begin to dismantle the barriers which are currently the mobility of the world of education , nothing is more a negative impact on their opinion . 
the problems to solve in the various countries are of diverse nature , for example different regulations on social security , study grants to , right of residence , taxation and lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and training . 
it is time that europe is once again to the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe . 
the experience in the field of mobility of students and teachers show that the real problems of this mobility are not so side of the management of the education but in the field of social and fiscal authorities , the issue of immigration . 
it has mentioned the socrates programme to illustrate this problem . 
there must be a clear system of inspection and control , a clear , even if it is by sampling and , above all , a one-stop , a web page , where the students can table of complaints . 
we therefore demand the integration of researchers target group of the categories of people can benefit of recommendations . 
it is easy to do so in a speech , but not so in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate your approach , as in the case of the president chirac or the minister . 
the enlargement strengthening the necessary ; the strengthening enables and does it prejudge the enlargement . 
( applause ) europe has a cultural , social and legal currency fuelled by the scientific variety and vitality of the national components . 
the proposal for a resolution on the reports of the commission , on which you will vote earlier to the rich , is in the field . 
that is in the report by the finnish presidency on women and the decisions . the indicators that it has drawn will allow us to evaluate the progress made . 
beyond the conference of ministers and the symposium on the equal training , two very important reports , devoted specifically to equality , but for the council on employment and social affairs ' deserve to be mentioned . 
the second is on the principle of non-discrimination , which based on the sex . 
in the annual reports , i would add - and the president-in-office has also mentioned this - that one of the main problems facing the eu is obviously the existence of large cultural differences . 
the reports which it is also give the impression . 
we need to ensure that the directive on equal reflected in the legislation . 
i believe that this method , applied in the first instance by finland , is used in several areas and , therefore , that it is part of the strategy of the equal opportunities of the commission , we can to expect good results . 
on behalf of the equality of opportunity , the french women have won , thanks to the europe of the law , the night work . 
as french citizen , vision of the world it is a particular policy . 
despite these reservations , we vote this report , of course , we are in favour of equal opportunities , but the equality of opportunity , above all it is respect for everyone . 
those which deprive the mothers the freedom to raise their children will be paid without the bill later , in the form of juvenile delinquency and vandalism . 
in this regard , i remind our report on the splitting of human pension in divorce cases , so that the benefits for the survivors and the age of pension are included in the directive on 1979 . 
the polish women we were very grateful to specify that the representative who was present has not even shared the position of women polish . 
a greater presence of women at all levels of government and in all areas is essential to strengthen democracy and to promote and maintain peace . 
finally , i should like to mention the situation of women in the countries which preparing to join the european union . 
also the council , and particularly the men who have sit here , were to take the essential task to europe must make in the fight against mafia which hosts the trafficking of women . because this form of slavery is not the kind of problems which can be patting each stakeholders in politicians , or that they can expulsion or neglect . 
we can make the reports and speeches that we are examining today that the problem of equality of opportunity is , as many of us , the knew a a structural problem and that , to deal with it , the need strategies , because women are not a category or a social group homogenous collective , and even less . 
it is true that i was a little sorry to see that maria de belém roseira is more occupy this post . 
two of you have mentioned of new social rights , of new rights tax . 
thirdly , they are the basis of a strategy in the european union , even for the charter of fundamental rights , the fact that we have prepared to obtain an of the current situation has played an important role - but they also offer the opportunity level , since the member states can now , thanks to the comparative assessment , define their national targets . 
the debate is closed . 
we must see these amendments in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament can compromise is not in insisting on these amendments because of comitology , to a certain extent , they have been overtaken by the new interinstitutional framework . 
however , i personally continues to believe that the text approved at the time by the european parliament did much better with the new realities which have led the internal market and the liberalisation of markets , as the elements of the clarification of control and that is the introduced amendments not accepted ensured more respect for the regulation and to apply the same procedures . 
if we want the countries accept the compromise , the european community must be the first to apply to to ensure its own standards , because if a country has the opportunity to introduce products on the market by the community smuggling , why attract the death of negotiate some sort of concession with us ? 
in the same way , the european parliament 's amendment on the declaration of papers , which was adopted by the council , will the customs administrations of member states to equip automated management instruments of the most modern . 
but it is too late now to the vote has just taken place and the members have voted in favour . 
votes ( continuation ) 
report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and the equality of opportunities , on the annual reports of the commission on ' equal opportunities for women and men in the european union - 1997 , 1998 and 1999 , ' ( com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) - c5-0289 106 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0288 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) 
. this is not the first time that i am speaking on the mobility of students and teachers . 
this report is even more important that it occurs at a critical time for the european union , that of enlargement . 
the fight discrimination is not the creation of additional administrative services , but only in the minds of people . 
. i have not voted for the mann report , because if it is necessary to seek equal treatment of people in terms of employment and work , it is not taking the zeal in point of abandon any protection of all freedoms and respect for the rule of law . 
as a secular convinced , i was unable to associate myself . 
the snp welcomes this directive and its objective to put an end to any discrimination in the workplace . 
if we want the directive acceptable and executable , it cannot be overburdened of literature and desires of which have no place in a legislative text . 
the eplp however strong reservations about for the following areas . 
certain elements should also , in our view , be left to the discretion of member states , such as the general terms of implementation , the organisation of training for workers to some other age groups , the nature of the mediation , and the way smes must interpret the directive . 
in this interview , van hulten rightly pointed out that only the resolution as the problems of fraud , the waste , but also the lack of effectiveness in the decision-making process , enable us to start with a positive agenda . 
the reasons for the thrust of my vote , we relates to a large extent , to the question of the rapprochement between the european union and nato and to the boost given to the common defence policy . 
this is also the european arms exports as a means to resolve the conflicts in the future geographical areas the neighbourhood of europe . 
however , i cannot accept that the european formula the need for a common defence policy and of a european policy of security and defence . 
children are the first victims of violence on television . 
i welcome the realisation of this study . 
a group of experts will also been at community level . it will mission for the creation of a memorandum establishing the general principles for the protection of minors in the context of the media . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it is particularly interesting that , for the first time , be considered the need to continue the assessment of the effectiveness of the political initiatives at the way the annual reports of the commission . 
peru 
mr president , the peru currently going through a time of uncertainty and we all hope that the situation be resolved by means of a process , guaranteeing all the civil and political rights and contributing to the strengthening of democracy and peace in the peru , where 25 000 people died over the last fifteen years . 
the word in question is the word ' democracy . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions in which the elections are held peru in may this year unacceptable . 
b5-0793 / 2000 , by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . 
i am therefore pleased to note that the report contains some clear and on the situation of women and that it draws attention to the need to try to intervene in order to prevent that the taliban regime is its implementation of the total discrimination women . 
the eu has an important task . 
there can be recognition on the part of any member state , as will continue the policy of human beings , particularly of systematic discrimination with regard to the women . 
we must take account of this reality , in the european institutions , and the fact that the cultures of drugs are used to buy weapons . 
it will however determined way of the neighbouring countries , so that they improve their possibilities of the fight against drugs . 
i think that is the time to remind the need for the european union is starting to shape a global policy towards the countries of latin america which might ensure that these countries cross periodically of crisis situations such as some have known . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and the house welcome the release of father jesuit spanish alejandro matos castro the last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on the macedonia : legislation relating to the education and the universities ; 
this is the reason why we are very pleased that the problem of education has perhaps finally found a solution really positive . 
for my part , there is a good example , especially for all the neighbouring countries , showing that education is not to spread the hatred , as is the worst case often - but that it can also be the birthplace of a peaceful multi-ethnic coexistence . 
i would have liked to see this solution is approved by all the parties represented in parliament . 
may i take the opportunity to underline that the commission has already have congratulate its cooperation with the high representative , mr van der stoel . 
we are not this debate today only to express our deep . the debate we above all to see what is happening , what are the causes and how we are to remedy the situation , how we can , as the commission and parliament , to ensure that such events are not repeated . 
in any case , mr president , we are in agreement with this proposal for a resolution that we support it is gold , one of the urgent , and on the basis , it is of course , that i mentioned earlier . we disagree with the amendments which have been also one of the urgency . 
for the amendment on the conditions of work , there is a relevant directive , the wording of amendment is not as satisfactory that the text . 
it is simply unacceptable for the islands of the north and the west of scotland , as the route of potential of crossing the north sea towards the european continent , which i hope , the inaugurated in the near future . 
i am pleased that the greek government has meanwhile cancelled this exemption . 
that is why , in following the shipwreck of the ship samina express , the commission asked the greek government to provide clarifications on the application of community law in force . 
i would like to raise the question of , and i would ask you to clarify this with the bureau , if , after the abolition of friday , the abolition of thursday is not already started a number of side . 
this problem is not resolved and as long as it is not , the international financial institutions - the imf and world bank - will not help the democratic serbia . therefore , it must also work of the united nations with the countries of the former yugoslavia as quickly as possible that an agreement which can unblock , when the freedom of the comes in serbia , the economic aid - through the imf and world bank . 
in these moments will perhaps be in the streets of belgrade the advent of a democratic change where the use of violence can be avoided . 
we all condemn the acts can be seen as a provocation , in particular with regard to the holy places in jerusalem . 
report by the middle east , we europeans , have made an effort - venice , madrid , oslo , stockholm - and we really have supported the promotion and the development of this process . 
the fact that more shocking is the use of the bullets of fragmentation by the police and the israeli army ; these bullets , which bombs in the body in tens of pieces and which are banned at an international level , even in the battles opponent of soldiers , are now employed on civilians . 
i believe that europe can and must deal in this sense , clarity and decision . 
we must therefore do everything to stop the fire in as quickly as possible . 
provocation of such as the action of ariel sharon must not happen . 
again it is the case today , and that is prevent and has prevented the of europe , in all these years , to play a role mediation of the middle east , this role abandoning the usa alone . 
we do not sacrifierons the serbian people to our noble objectives moral because that could mean the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . 
to conclude , madam president , i propose to send a parliamentary delegation as quickly as possible and as a new yugoslav government has been formed , to establish plans for the reconstruction of the new serbia in cooperation with the new government . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , we are of course a historic day in this parliament , which will perhaps at the end of a recent example of cornerstones of a totalitarian dictatorship in europe . 
mr president , there is a problem , the german version of blu on the urgent - i do not know if it is also the case for other versions - contains only the amendment proposed by the gue / ngl group , but motion for a resolution , or even the text . 
mr president , i would like to draw the attention of my colleagues on the reams of documents which shows what we have need for the votes of this week . 
if parliament could propose amendments to the council decision , it underline the probably unemployment and social problems in croatia which are due to an end to the austerity imposed to that country . however , there is no legal basis for such amendments in this context . 
this is the opportunity to claim the same objectives as far as the eib 's activities . 
mr president , we discussed yesterday evening , even in this house , the question of serbia and of revolutionary changes which take place . 
i also wish convince my colleagues , and especially the council , to remain , in the next few months on the budget for the year and the years , the most faithful to possible of the commission proposal , which , in my view , is about the best estimate of overall costs in croatia and in other parts of the balkans . 
in 1990 , the democratic elections held in this country were fair and free judged by the world . 
i therefore say yes to the financial aid , yes to this guarantee energetically and i would ask the commission to help this country profoundly european massive and now really democratically governed and the principles of the rule of law , the european union to involve the candidate countries for accession , because i believe that the croatia has earned our unconditional support . 
like the rapporteur , i wonder whether the money to this end will actually available , all the more that it looks as if to enormous funds must be made to the serbia soon and that the budget of the european union is not tightened up . 
the delegations from parliament and the ours have also asked the council to extend the mandate of the eib . 
i hope that members of contacts are noueront quickly and that , as the croatia , a aid is the serbian people , which deserves our greatest respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
in the same spirit , we call women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation : there is a call tuesday and wednesday and we earn the signatures and participation in the delegation , the commission 's intention to express , to build bridges between women and of peace where there violence . 
in the whole , there has been of more suffering for the basque and for the spanish ; it is true that the spanish and the basques are tired of the current conflict . 
madam president , you will recall that , in the last part-session , i have mentioned the plight of a militant democrat , the british james mawdsley , which was held illegally by the burmese authorities . 
madam president , as far as i speak , i would in fact the regulation . 
in fact , this report to technical façade , which does not to make major changes of a political nature , is extremely important , as this , and it introduced the possibility to practise the genetic engineering in viticulture and therefore to establish a wine-growing modified . 
if we do not agree with the report , there will delays . 
the council of state , as you have said , and we rejected this appeal has duly informed of this rejection . 
but today the situation is repeat and is certainly a colleague , the ppe , but not of my political camp in italy . 
that is why we are actively for the introduction of scoreboard is to social , as has been the case for the internal market , with clear , of deadlines and the deadlines . 
i hope , madam minister , that the council will inspired by parliament 's expectations and that you succeed , at the nice summit , to set ambitious objectives in a european social agenda which we can then work in the coming years . 
on the informal council ' employment and social policy on 8 july in paris last , the presidency had asked to all the actors involved - parliament , of course , economic and social committee , the committee regions , partners , ngos , groups and committees of the council to inform their proposals . 
the oppose the quantitative qualitative is a false debate lisbon and has set out a dual purpose : to create more jobs and better quality of jobs . 
we must encourage this mobility , while ensuring the safety of professional paths . 
we must try to summarise and to describe the shortcomings system and , in any case , we need to do in the agenda . 
we believe that the open coordination is the right path towards a social europe . 
the implementation of ambitions societal posted at lisbon is a community effort , a plan of action for the creation of jobs in the services , particularly those related to the of the information society . 
the commission can course provide a contribution , but the social problems are anchored to the local , and we must be the great deal in taking account of different contexts concrete . 
as was the social effects of the reviser more of economic policies . 
the proposal to originally proposed by the commission have been much better without amendment - congratulations , commissioner . 
this is an ambitious agenda . i remember how we have made painstakingly on social protection in the previous legislature . 
i think that this will be very positive and help women to reconcile family life and . 
i sometimes have the impression that , as in the concept of modernisation , people often think to negating the social protection of its substance . 
what are the fundamental elements of content ? 
it is still difficult to define european targets which will to force for all the member states , since there is a reality diverse . 
49 amendments were tabled by the commission . 
it is important that we provide guarantees of the possibility that have the non-governmental organisations to influence the process . 
another point is that the community must do more in the assessment of needs for further initiatives , including the case , the adaptation of the regulation , the equality of opportunity and the fight against discrimination . 
this is not that the good ideas and the good plans in order to achieve the equality have failed in the past , but their implementation has often failed . 
it is not right that the voice of women is exclusivity by a handful of professional the demand living thanks to the drip of public money . 
the equality of men and women in the civil life , which allows women to enjoy full of the human rights and fundamental freedoms . 
i expect that the male players are not finally and that they are fighting of stereotypes and roles of the sexes obsolete . 
i believe that we must thank the commission for having followed this debate , given that its presence was not foreseen during this debate . 
of competition policy 
we must offer our companies the best possible conditions so that they can organise their production and above their future . 
they must have a broader choice of high-quality products sold at competitive prices : it is , ultimately , the reason why we must promote the single market , and the same time , free competition , because that is to all our citizens . 
it is the decision to grant or of not granting of aid in the coal-mining sector . 
point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report mentions the concern to improve the legal security in the requests of mergers , and more effective and more rapid the timetables applicable to the european union . 
in all cases , it is of public undertakings which must their power to be perfectly management of affairs , but the positions of monopoly past and present . 
it is to be more closely involved in the european information on competition policy , so that it is in recognise the benefits . 
they have a considerable significance for the employment and regional policy and i want it to make to the future , so that the aid , aid affairs , which have implications for the regional development and the economy of the regions , where the transport take an example to type , can be pursued . 
this communication contains three important messages . 
i should also like to thank mr evans for his excellent report on the rules on state aid to state aid to the steel industry and the eighth report on the commission on state aid in the european union . 
i would like to reassure mrs palacio and mr karas , and the other members who have spoken on these points , and tell them that the regulation takes account of their concerns . 
otherwise , we certainly our goal , namely to promote competition and the consumer , in a perverse . 
the debate is closed . 
the mechanism of financing is the application of article 119 of the treaty , which remains in place for the third stage of economic and monetary union only for the member states which do not participate in the single currency . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i welcome that we can still discuss today about the proposal for a council directive amending the directive 193 / 68 / eec on the marketing of material vegetative propagation of the vines , and i hope that tomorrow 's vote is positive . 
some of them have launched on 5 july , the call of beaune , where they all their concern about the introduction of gmos in their profession . 
the rules that they are also in favour the production of a vegetative material diverse in providing the best health guarantees , that is fundamental , effectively to accompany the restructuring of vineyards , community key point of the new com vini-viticole . 
it must be loud and clear , there is no need of gaver the articles of this directive references to the directive 90 / 220 in revision , except to promote to any strength in the vines genetic manipulation . 
i have the pleasure of informing you that we can accept the amendments in addition 35 to 40 , tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , to reinforce the transposition of safety requirements and management of enshrined in the directive 90 / 220 . 
i would simply point out that the european parliament has not been asked to comment as such . 
madam president , this is about paragraph 14 of the minutes on the request for the waiver of parliamentary immunity of our college pacheco pereira . 
i will be more specific on the qualified majority . 
on the weighting of votes , the two options are well known also on the table : weighting simple for lightly , very slight majority , is confirms , or double majority , but with various formulas , dual simple majority or repondérée or a form of ' net demographic ' . 
moreover , without prejudice to an assessment of needs and to the coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic of jointly , which will entrusted to the european commission and to the world bank , the european council in biarritz has decided to grant the federal republic of a first aid of the urgency of eur 200 million . 
but see , ladies and gentlemen , if i were you say spontaneously and very much my feeling , i say this : is that the sensitivity of these issues - composition of the commission and the system of vote - this is not on this basis that we will be able to measure the success or failure of the success of nice . 
positive was also the commitment of the heads of state and government of the charter of fundamental rights , but i must however remind mr president , the council , reason which has made this possible approval . 
as we do not need die seem to the spirit of nice , our priority for the 50 days that remain to be to raise the negotiations at political level . 
in this respect , i would also like to address my colleagues to the european people 's party , and i ask mr poettering to listen to me , because what we are in this house , we must defend the outside . 
according to what we know that the result achieved by the prime ministers and presidents to biarritz highly sensitive issues on the reform of the treaty , the charter will probably the most wonderful success of nice . 
the council would really expectations in the european citizens launching a great consultation of the people , the national parliaments to lead to a charter responding to needs . 
we must therefore launch a invitation to return to all the roots of our union , have the courage which have taken mr giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt in deciding the election suffrage in the european parliament 1976 and in 1979 and decide that we will have 2009 as president of the european union , president of the commission . 
i would particularly in this respect , to respond to what mr poettering said on the gap between large and small countries . 
i have just a word about the affairs of external trade policy , because that is a very serious fact . 
this is something valuable for which has been stressed by all members of the european council . 
another point has been very positive adoption of the charter in its entirety . 
further , i think that on this crucial issue for the future of the european union and its way of decision , a number of biarritz and that we can do in congratulate . 
i hope that we can convince , progress , for the prevail on this point nice . 
i quote two examples : on the one hand , there is the right to work right to work , and the other hand , a number of fundamental social rights including in the revised social charter of the council of europe are not in the charter . 
it is clear from the debates have taken place in europe , including those of biarritz , that the member states greatest seek , in part , to put pressure on the small member states to reform the european union in line with the policy pursued by the member states the largest and also in their wishes . 
the dissatisfied with the two sides are proof to the negotiators that they should lead to a fair balance . 
the leaders of europe have not made clear vision of . 
a commission structured on criteria of representation of each member state perception betrays a little visionary . 
we would have a centralised union , suggesting that the small countries less influence in the system that the american system is in leaves the member federal of small . 
after the summit of sharm-el-sheikh , where all the parties were all together to find a solution to the crisis of violence and re-establish dialogue between the barak and arafat , we have seen , but there has been this moment where it seemed to succeed , it is extremely difficult to contain the violence . 
of bad whistle-blowers , of course , are say to mr barón many things which are not true to the issue of italy and my party . 
we must ensure that we can make progress in terms of the taxation of energy in europe . this has been a total deadlock to say that because of the principle of unanimity . 
we cannot allow is created a situation in which the small member states in administered to fear a drift towards of solutions directorate-general . 
i think that the convention has provided for the excellent work and i am proud to have count amongst its members . 
in this second case , of the matter is to say when this work the principle of equal rotation strictly between large and small . 
the extension to real issues of the vote qualified majority in the codecision procedure , the preservation of article 250 that it is today , the position and role of the commission in the cooperation and not only on the first pillar - these are elements which will enable us to judge instantly if there is , in the end , the success or failure . 
mr president , thank you for jacques , first of all , to jacques delors , to thank altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , to thank all of vaclav havel , to carlo ciampi , of joschka fischer to jacques chirac , of michel barnier to pierre moscovici , of chris patten to costa simitis , as florence , and by the many current members who have gone from 1999 , and the great movement for a european constitution . 
not criticising too the european merchant , and it is a socialist you that the said : it has given us more wealth for all . 
instead least on this objective , and because we do , say how to achieve . 
mr president , i have had the satisfaction to see that in substance , the proposals recently to the intergovernmental conference are in the same direction that the whole or a number of criteria that i have exposed . 
mr president , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , ladies and gentlemen , the you that we have this morning , a debate on the issues on which your parliament has considered necessary to supplement the opinion on the intergovernmental conference it was made in april . 
and , while respecting the constitutional framework exists , it seems difficult - i say this - to provide more than a procedure to consultative opinion of parliament in the wake of . 
as you well know , this means that we do some political choices , is a much more that the regulation of three requirements laid highest . 
i have said that the formula retained for the charter was a avenue to explore . 
but i have understood that apart from the first is language , your question disguise a further concern . 
that is why i wanted to thank you , and on the substance and on the form , the initiative of the decision that you . 
the setting up of cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies which administered will add to the institutions of the european union . 
it is time to revise the treaties . 
rejection of the european council to incorporate the charter of fundamental rights in the eu treaties , and to make these rights legally binding and to enable this way the citizens whose rights would not have been respected access to the european court of justice , damaging to this fundamental consensus . 
without this , we will not this europe of citizens and citizens , in my view . 
paragraph 8 : the constitution will - i quote - ' questions left open ' . 
no one has to explain to me that would have changed since then . 
secondly , on a inadequate agenda , which has left side of extremely important issues for the future of the european union and the interests of citizenship . 
mr president , minister we just on the eve of the revolution bolchevique - something which should be the consequences in the world - the orthodox church russian was plunged into a complex debate on the style of clothes of ceremony to during the carême . 
it is therefore imperative that the cooperation offer all the guarantees that the rapporteur has recommended , that they are open to all , in accordance with the spirit of the treaties , and that they do not go to the part of the community acquis . 
there is a point that i would accentuate : it does not seem right to demand or priority to the way referendum compulsory in all member states to the approval of the amendments . 
we have had a very lively debate on two issues which , although different , are in a point . 
we are prepared to ensure that it can be put to the vote in the november part-session , so that the text will be adopted under the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
that means ' the introduction of the opportunity to retire gradually through on part-time work ' , if this is a threat to the age of retirement is already too high in many countries ? 
everyone knows that the pensioners , as the children , like the jam . 
i asked the pensioners who have mandated here in parliament , with the pensioners ' party is their like to drink wine modified . 
even so , by derogation , to the market and propagating material standard , when the needs can be covered by other categories . 
i therefore ask you , mr president , the variations of labour costs are breach for this reason , they also a limitation to free competition in the european union ? 
it was therefore inevitable that we vote against this report ... 
despite the measures taken to a greater deregulation in the european union , to state aid still have a constructive role to play in the social and economic development . 
these aid can be essential for the protection of the environment , the maintenance of public services and to guarantee a level of income equal inhabitants of the structurally weak regions . 
we emphasise the risk , after the enshrinement control of the eu state aid to the important , it hard to target the aid of a small amount invoking the competition made to smes . 
section vi , economic and social committee 
if the european timescales consults the implementation of the budget for categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , we see that only an average of 8 % of all the commitments are covered by payments . 
three years ago , we are buckled through our the employment initiative in helping the small and medium-sized enterprises to get to risk capital . 
parliament wants to two ways . 
this is the only way that the european institutions to their mission . 
i would like to take this opportunity to thank the vice-president responsible for budgetary issues , our colleague gerhard schmid , for its constructive cooperation . 
we want that this committee should be able to work but we cannot tolerate that it is the place where the european parliament 's demands , as part of the budgetary authority , have to say the least echo . 
this means that the president-in-office 2001 is the last budget year for us and it is in this context that we must assess the proposal of the commission and that we are proposing to parliament . 
we also want that it is administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 - i repeat 85 , the committee on budgets of parliament is trying to ensure that the european parliament take account of the financial impact of the parliament resolution that vote . 
i conclude , mr president , by thanking the other institutions to their diligence in dealing with this joint declaration . 
you today we are asked to give your opinion on a budget which has already been amended at first reading by the council . 
the structural measures : the amount of structural actions has generally been reappointed report by the 2000 budget . 
the council 's attitude with regard to the revision of the financial perspective is calm . 
when it is these different figures , we see that still considerable differences on the purely quantitative but also , of course , on the matter itself . 
in this respect , i must point out that , the last year , a new decision was taken with the council end of a long debate and i have little hope of able to start this debate . 
the financial perspective decided in berlin for the period up to 2006 aware provided 8.1 billion euros to the meda programme . 
i should therefore like it to the council and the committee on budgets thinking in terms of foreign policy and not only in terms of budgetary policy , when they are members of the foreign policy . 
the second concerns the aid to victims of human rights violations that have need of treatment in specialist of institutions . 
if a compromise solution to able to support the important work of emac committee were to find at the time , we we could resolve this issue , otherwise the position of the commission remains open . 
we need to we remind the day after day of our sparking on television screens and to see that the east through a difficult time . 
that is why i hope that we will despite everything , in the vote tomorrow , to the majority required for the observatory in dublin . 
mr president , on behalf of the commission of the committee on agriculture and rural development , i would like to begin remarks and in particular , the subject of rural development . 
we have asked the adoption of an credit indicative of two million to be an information campaign on the cfp . 
the european commission must negotiate with arguments of weight to achieve a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned to them , must make a political support for this negotiation . 
today we consider the 2001 budget , bearing in mind in the images of the serbian population . 
in the whole , we want these amendments are adopted . 
however , a important way in which people can to ensure that their concerns are taken into account is appeal to the ombudsman , is the sending of a petition to parliament . 
i begin by referring budget of this house . 
the surprise to many members of my delegation , we beginning september , established a strategic platform . unanimously , and the 400 amendments tabled by some of my colleagues have been a surprise to many of us in the committee on budgets . 
it is difficult to imagine how of new posts could solve the problem of management if , to the commission and the council , it is still complex procedures of a stone-age which are used to implement many programmes . 
recent years , this parliament has consistently shown that it based its work on a real sparingly . 
it is unacceptable to speak for many years , in a very vague in terms of commitments and the reaffirm regularly if it is to say , when it is to its accounts , that is enough for us and we now need to restricting on our promises . 
if we do that few unfortunate million on these lines , and we cannot do much more , we agiterons a carrot that we will withdraw if these people will really need . 
as the budget of the year , the budget 2001 was faced with almost insoluble problems : on the one hand , the pressure for the consolidation and the policy of rigour , as agreed in the interinstitutional agreement , to ensure the financing of enlargement and the other hand , the sorely needs financing of the stability pact for the balkans . 
to demand better performance also means more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , in its original , could begin to change the situation , but a majority of the committee on budgets has rejected this idea . 
unfortunately , and there are many other examples : the privileged treatment given to associations to vocation federalist or the many ngos to the function , with the philosophy and operation of the more dubious , the financing of european political parties , to the offset are in the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of the member states of the relevance of the euro when the european currency is a loss of confidence largely shared by the europeans , to our friends democrats to leaders of the european central bank . 
to conclude , our colleague mr heaton-harris has rightly pointed out , in the amendments that have been proposed , the one-sidedness of many european programmes way in which the european serves a propaganda the citizen on the subject of european integration , and it to its own costs medium-sized businesses . 
in addition , our administrative systems must be modernised . we must also a good example . 
the meda programme , on the mediterranean , geographical area of the utmost importance , is a good example of lack of capacity to implement . 
when it comes to the make cuts or to the money has to category 4 to give the resources to certain priorities , we must not forget what are the priorities of the house . we have shown this quite clearly in the committee vote . 
this amount must be the subject of a clarification . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
this simply means that there are elements of flexibility for real progress on this or that policy , even when someone is not the case , or do not want it , and this applies to the countries of the european union applies to the candidate countries . 
i believe that the austria is not to complain about this that is , quite the opposite . 
the recommendations of organisations and regional experiences with the neighbouring countries will without doubt contribute to the definition of resources . 
in 1984 , 0.2 % of owners colombians unmatched 32 % of the earth . 
the council is not comment on this or that aspect of this issue which is extremely difficult and painful . 
at the same time , is not take this as a debate on issues which are once again , extremely complex . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
therefore , i shall well to give a definitive answer to this difficult issue . 
simply , we have the feeling , and your reply as a little , that the council presidency is not very proactive in dealing with this question . 
therefore , the income tax of this will certainly not nil . 
i am also in the excuse , but we apply the regulation . 
if the right side of the chamber is remained silent , it is that we have already dealt with these issues previously and in our opinion it is pointless to return on several occasions the same subjects in this chamber , as our time is valuable . 
furthermore , in pending the adoption of this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies , a decision of withdrawal of material risks in terms of these diseases has been taken in june 2000 , to eliminate any new progress of the epidemic and to ensure that the consumer level of health protection at the highest possible level . 
i do not have other elements that those that i have listened to communicate to the question . 
we are and we know the work of the commission and the council on the erika package . 1 , but in this way , is known as the two countries and known in the european union , which is a particularly difficult , taken by large vessels to win only a few hours , with the risk of old tankers that there is fail and cause a disaster , i would like to know , and especially the inhabitants of corsica , of sardinia would have liked , it is possible and if you to ban purely and simply the changeover mouths to bonifacio by these large ships , these major containers . 
it is for this reason i think that we must , in principle , support the commission 's proposals for the revision of the policy in terms of staff . 
it must inject money to the costs in the budget for the serbia and kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , and i shall leave it at that , that we will also reduce the lines budget of ecu 50 million to finance the peace agreement in israel / plo . 
this is the reason why we propose the european parliament , of new measures which will at least find a new funding - we know that the current situation will not - to seal of new compromise interinstitutional which improve the quality of expenditure and to ensure that no euro is wasted . 
think that in european policy , as in any other area , the options moderate cease to be the subject majority . 
it is designed to overshadow rather than in , and i was disappointed by the attitude adopted today is with regard to the of activity based budgeting . 
the fact attaching to the function of activities allows us to consider the budget as an instrument policy in which the breakdown of expenditure reflects the political priorities precise . 
we must find a solution multiannual do not need to year after year , each time discuss how we can to find money in favour of the balkans . 
who is interested in the development of a sustainable agricultural sector is not that the central dynamic of the recent reform , as it was agreed in berlin , ' is shifting ' constantly of aid to the raw materials in direct support income of farmers . 
a budget , ladies and gentlemen , is always more than a simple danced of figures . 
finally , it is immoral , mr president , to reduce expenditure for the agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the social excluded , to provide the resources to fund the commitments of the european union in kosovo and yugoslavia . 
that means to ensure that the serbian population is the cold and of the hunger during the winter . 
furthermore , i should like to express my concern to the various parliaments of young included in the socrates programme . 
of course , it must also be clear , the council that is a responsibility for the development of some inadequate external programmes . 
we now have a stable solution for these aid , especially when it comes to their long-term planning for the western balkans . 
i think that most people would be prepared to accept such a cost , on condition that this money is used to good use . 
i share the concerns and arguments that the rapporteur , mrs rühle , has raised this evening in research and development of social aid . 
two weeks ago that there was the joint parliamentary assembly acp . 
in the same time , we want the budgetary resources are invested in the funds for research and the information , to seek the production of alternative for the tobacco current . 
i would make it clear that the european union has had more of a direct and the more positive that we can imagine on the northern ireland . 
in this model , the respect of standards and procedures is covered by an independent authority and in the last resort , by the judges . 
we will , for the first time , a codecision at first reading on a text extremely complex and a lot of technical difficulties , on a particularly sensitive sector for the protection of individual freedoms . 
it is essential to the fact that we have not met in a single authority their respective duties . 
we think that the schengen system has been more than ten million sheets on close to one and a half million citizens , that europol sees its powers constantly extended , centralize information from these different police services of the fifteen member states , and this , only under the control of a authority which neither the competence nor the means are available to allow him to take a truly another task . 
that said , i take the presence of commissioner to say that it would seem appropriate to consider not only the protection of the citizen with new technologies , but also the use of these technologies to promote the capacity of the european citizen to intervene and interact with regard to the institutions . 
the 44-45 amendments 1 , 2 , 4 , 10 to 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 60 64 to adopt the text of the council for points where the commission can agree . 
it is of course , therefore , its opinion on the legislative proposals which concern the protection of personal data will be very valuable in the extent that it will be a contribution to the debate legislative between the institutions . 
the treaty indeed recognizes the outermost regions a difficult economic and social situation , aggravated by the special handicaps which are constantly and the combination seriously damage the development of these regions . 
it will contribute to the promotion of economic and social progress with a high level of employment . 
i therefore congratulate mrs sudre and we await the methods of application of the commission 's proposals so that it is account of specific shortly , according to the article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . 
to many people in certain regions , that there are tourist destinations on the card . 
our rate of unemployment are among the highest in the european union . 
i am pleased that the commission has adopted a large majority in the amendments that i have tabled . 
it is very important , in my opinion , the outermost regions be integrated into the trans-european networks of transport , the energy and telecommunications . 
the adoption , unanimity in the states of the committee on regional policy , the report presented by mr margie sudre is a testament to the loyalty of the european parliament one of its most important commitments . 
we cannot discuss a series of circumstances and believe that from the point ideal and idyllic - call - as has been achieved , it will not need to take further action in the treatment of these three areas and , more particularly , outermost regions of what is at issue here . 
this article , ladies and gentlemen , i can not to do everything , but it allows us to strengthen and i believe that it is necessary , to extend and to improve our action . 
preparations for the proposals which are necessary obviously , the commission works with the member states and the regions concerned . 
in these regions , as we know , there is lasting of difficulties and i therefore believe objectively , according to their real level of development , they will need the support of the lasting regional policy and of special measures . 
a meeting of this kind could again be organised in the course of the year 2001 , when we are more advanced in the implementation presented in march . 
the presidency has said that it closed and i accept that . 
i believe that parliament is to keep the present rules because , as the another speaker said , very often , indeed , is not the machines which did not work , but the members who have forgotten to vote , and if we could correct a vote in the future , we have never end . 
i am clearly what i eating . 
in short , mr commissioner , in addition to the authority , it must be that of the commission services responsible , in cooperation and coordination with the member states , establish a system of controls homogenous and effective in the food chain and that the network of food laboratories of the european union should be strengthened and working in coordination with the commission . 
we need to avoid duplication in the field of activities and of the scientific research , which means that cooperation with the centres of national and community research . 
today , we are discussing a white paper and we have an interest in a few principles . 
in this case , procedures have been amended and changed and we have our own national agency for food safety , food standards agency . 
finally , we will also several new amendments , in particular amendments 11-13 7-9 , and we want a vote in awareness about amendment no 14 . 
in this context , i would therefore like to say that the safety depends entirely due to the organisation by the authorities stringent controls controls - which are rigorous as the weakest link in . 
it is clear from the examination of this question is how superficial and empty the debate that we are on the political unification of the european union . 
entrusting to the authority of the european food safety , the only scientific experience in connection with our national agencies . 
if it is the overview of the progress main diseases of origin food which affect the european , most are in fact their first appearance in america . 
it is imperative to define the conditions of referral of the food safety to ensure effective and rapid action . 
we should also emphasise , as in the case of some speakers , in particular mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is more than a new regulatory framework in the european union . 
mr president , i am today to the time a satisfaction and the recognition of , on the one hand and with regard to the commission which has started this work in favour of a better safety , the other hand , with mr bowis and the whole of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . 
amendment no 17 is particularly important . it provides that the request to the council to consumer organisations . 
another aspect is the review organic standards on the labelling , both for the sale basically means that the detail , which gives a review finally , thanks to the traceability of products and their ingredients , a proper information to consumers and allow the determination of responsibilities in the case of any risk of crisis or . 
in my opinion , the development of a new legislation is not a good response of the non-compliance with legislation . 
the vote in the committee of the environment , we managed to restore a balance in bringing in the scope of the issues relating to the nutrition and references to other essential role of the small and medium-sized enterprises in the protection of eating habits . 
mr president , i would like to join my colleagues in congratulating the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very constructive approach and very logic of this problem . 
mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety is no legal value does not damage to the dual value it is certainly . 
the rapporteur , and that many members of the members of the commission , including myself , the emphasis was placed on the european food authority , that is in fact a somewhat regrettable . 
the independence and autonomy of the european body are the advantages which are in the best interests of european consumers . 
i said on countless occasions , during this time , we had the opportunity of with the rapporteur 's choice . 
mr president , i would like to congratulate mr bowis to be really tried to take all the points of view in his report and especially for accepted that we referred to the more general the concept of food . 
in short , mr president , the policy is not to shirk its responsibilities . 
but above all , we must win the respect of its peers and confidence in the public and persuade the governments of member states to accept its conclusions . 
that is why i am looking forward to future european food safety authority . 
there is the of the world health organisation in geneva . 
i am not hiding , not to the white paper , i voted against the creation of such an authority . 
it is to ensure that the european union has the highest possible standards of safety , but this concept , shared unanimously - must also analyse the economic consequences this entails for the sectors concerned by a requirement of production . 
the tasks of the agency will then : the independent scientific research , consultation , inspections and independent , and that a system of warning , but certainly also a task of coordination to restore consumer confidence . 
in passing , i say to speakers who have referred to the question of the need to be sensitive to the promotion of local products or traditional that this is covered by the legislation on the hygiene . 
this climate consensual facilitate the task of the commission when it comes to submit a balanced proposal which takes account of the opinion expressed by parliament and by the many parties in the field of safety . 
in fact , this has been these years of the driving forces which have led , a political point of view , to the signing of the ottawa convention . 
i remind my opposition to amendments nos 10 and 19 to the concerns of budgetary coherence , and to ensure that that is amendment no 29 , i ask the split vote to be better the wording which is in my view to problems of interpretation 
that raises a question . the european union and especially the commission to make sure that the countries which are the that have not yet signed the ottawa convention . 
- ( de ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know the impact of mines , but that they are often in some cases of justifications military important . 
it is has raised for the first time in 1996 , the question of a budget line horizontal and the creation of a legal basis to provide a unique platform to very many action in this important area . 
but i cannot disguise the fact that the power of persuasion of the european union to achieve this objective has little to the reluctance of some member states which fail to sign and ratify the convention . 
the campaign against landmines gains in efficiency when it is adapts to the conditions of each situation . 
parliament knows that there are already too much and ensure that our proposals on reform of the community external aid , we hope we adhere to the sluggishness of control of individual projects and concentrate our debates with the member states strategies and programmes for overall . 
the ngos have to meet mushroomed . and must , however , to note that around four years after the first conference of the un mines which was held in geneva and more than a year after the entry into force of the ottawa convention to many of our countries , and thousands of people in the world , more often in the poorest regions , continue to suffer the consequences of anti-personnel landmines and of unexploded ammunition . 
it is important that the commission to improve both the quality of its programmes and the speed of their implementation . 
however , i believe that if you read the once again in a very carefully , you see that there are several amendments that you mentioned , in my opinion , are on campaigns to , on the transparency , access to the reserved for ngos , on things which work very well at this moment but which could still function more effectively . 
mrs bonino and mr patten have also right to say that the council and parliament should not be given to the administrative questions , and i have listened very carefully the remarks made by mr patten on this , because it clearly that we should still less to deal with . 
mr president , this long that our group takes actively on the whole range of applications and of the measures that are necessary , since the adjournment of the production , the destruction of stocks , the judgment of the marketing , to clearance of , the rehabilitation of victims and the awareness . 
the member then to support the process in international forums . 
the mines course represent a major obstacle to the reconstruction of these countries and the return of refugees . 
the rate at which we will , as has been said , we need much more than 100 years to rid the world of anti-personnel mines . 
the third sector is concrete measures to propose , to monitor and implement . 
for every child that we protect in bosnia , in africa and elsewhere of the death or of horrendous injuries by the mines , that our efforts are all are justified . 
we must put pressure on the countries of the european union which have not signed , such as finland , or which have not ratified , as the greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , the look finland ! 
finally , we hope that the future tasks of the common eu military keep the training of technicians , especially of people with a local interest in the disappearance of mines . 
what is not that the list of the countries most seriously achieved is mainly consists of in developing countries . 
the european parliament 's proposals cannot be more in contradiction with the lisbon objectives . 
the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , hope that parliament decided to change to the commission proposal , mainly to include some areas in which the legislation is acceptable , and the other hand , in defining a number of rights at european level . 
that is of the luxembourg process , which applies to the policy of employment , should be extended to the social protection and to social exclusion . 
the greater powers as germany , france , the united kingdom and , in a certain extent , the european italy , are all agreed to submit to their domination the small countries of eastern europe and the south in the applicant countries the european union . 
however , we for legal reasons that it is a mistake to refer to the article 6 of the treaty establishing the european community , because it has not been formally adopted in the convention , because of its structure , and therefore has no legal means of existence . 
we believe that the inclusion of a new text in the treaties could lead to confusion legal . 
moreover , the rapporteur responds to the theory of the new trend at brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union : the citizens represented by the european parliament and the member states represented by the council . 
the danish and swedish democrats have voted against the report by mr olivier duhamel constitutionalisation of the treaties . 
it is essential that the european union is moving towards a constitution which incorporates the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution would only make sense if it was the democratic framework of a real european federation , of united states of europe . 
we understand has said that , in agreement with a large part of the political class , we would rather govern our relations with other countries by an international treaty . 
. i welcome the report by mr duhamel as a interesting and constructive contributions to the idea of the treaties . 
they think that a rearrangement and a simplification of the treaties allow citizens to better define the scope of the responsibilities of the eu , its limits , and the procedures of the exercise of responsibilities in question . the charter of fundamental rights has been prepared on the basis of a convention involving national parliaments , the european parliament and the representatives of government . 
up to the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe is an intergovernmental super-state trade . 
the edd group voted against the report gil-robles gil-delgado on a cooperation . 
in fact it demonstrates the idea of a union too much monolithic , where all cooperation should be to speak of the ' single institutional framework ' , and where they should all be directed towards the objective of the superstate . 
we must therefore avoid to delay the evolution of the european whole and thus allow some member states to go to the developing the mechanism of cooperation . 
the operational structures of the internal market have always been a success for the early 1990s . 
. ( nl ) cooperation at european level can be useful to solve the problems cross-border . 
these areas could be a great laboratory for sustainable development . 
the technocrats , european judges , have ' and remove the granting of sea ' which feeds in our common resources of overseas and above protects our businesses . 
however , the france has from the overseas territories of the indian ocean and the caribbean . 
its independence will be an essential factor in its credibility . 
our vote was therefore clarified the role and composition of the future european union , but also stated in our demands its financing and its independence . 
secondly , the european agency must be completely independent . 
we must take account of the type agricultural practices and agro-industrial , problems of food imports of goods , the composition of ingredients in animal feed maximum levels of dioxins and residues of pesticides , components of food and other , in giving priority to the food safety . 
we have voted for amendment no 15 because we are very attached to the defence of european cultural heritage linked to the local food production . 
we do of almost no margin in category . 
we would also be 50 % of the budget and to 50 % in reserve . 
i am here is that of other proposals to reduce this budget . 
report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the draft general budget of the european union for the year 2001 , section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) 
madam president , i have the appear as signatory to some amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the real surprise of this budget is on the external action where is dominating the selfishness and the small-mindedness . 
other resources could be made by means of the flexibility instrument . 
i have voted against the haug report , in the same way as i have voted in favour of the proposal of my group rejection of the budget for 2001 . 
we refer in particular the new pilot project will the actions of information in the context of the fight against paedophilia . 
this shows , in a way , the lack of motivation is that the european project , even among the citizens politically active . 
20 to 30 % of new markets will of the private offered to competition . 
given that this is not guaranteed in the report , i have voted against the report . 
if the european combines the low unacceptable national boundaries , which decimates the premiums , with the proposed cuts withdrawal of quantities - the 5 % , citrus 8.5 % for apples and pears and 10 % for the rest of fruit and vegetables volume of for the market - is that , for large quantities of in processed fruit and vegetables , there is no way for the distribution . this would result as the overall reduction in prices , the putrefaction of products in the fields and in the facilities of numbing of cooperatives , thereby farmers to dig what they have grown . 
i have voted for this report because it meets the expectations of organisations portuguese horticultural sector , which belt-tightening claim a change of the com in fruit and horticultural products regarded deeply damaging national interests . 
report ( johan van hecke a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
this problem rooted in the sacrifice of all and of all , even the quality of the environment and climate , on the altar of the capitalist exploitation of resources and the profit disproportionate . 
the rich countries had decided to kyoto to take charge of the cleaning of their own atmosphere , even if it is their was also allowed , in enough limits , be added to their own list of the results reductions in emissions that they will help to achieve elsewhere . 
. the fight against gases is a major issue for the industrialised countries , have a particular towards the people who pay third already their lives to the consequences of climate change . 
the difficult bit is to be used to intelligent way . 
we must also ensure and strengthen the effort oriented towards the detection of substances suspected of people endocrine , perhaps in a legislative framework . 
consumers and the small and medium-sized enterprises do not benefit enough and the internal market , the introduction of the euro , the most completion . 
moreover , of these have been obliged the banks to the transfers of more than eur 12 500 to their central of statistics for the balance of payments . 
these companies will course to meet the same requirements in matters of security and laundering . 
we even knowledge of the cases in which transaction costs of cross-border for payments have increased later to the introduction of the euro , and this in proportions not . 
the european central bank could contribute to imposing a formula of transfer payments for the standardised at european level and , in supporting the introduction of a single standard for the numbering financial accounts in the international system iban . 
it is essential that the consumer acceptance of the euro . 
madam president , the report of mrs peijs , on the detail of payments in the internal market , is the old demand by the european parliament on the high cost of transfers in the european union . 
the peijs report the himself said in recital of the draft resolution . i quote : ' the high costs related to cross-border damaging to the consumer confidence in the ' euro . 
we therefore still have to do in this area , but on this point , the resources and means of policies are more limited that we can make to this question of payments in detail in the market . 
the market of the euro is perceived as a single market and the citizens do not understand why , in this area where the risks of exchange are spoilt and the electronic payments , especially the banking transactions via the internet , are more and more , a transfer between munich and salzburg costs much more a transfer between munich and kiel . 
to this objective will still to you - and we , many years of work . 
we shall also take the opportunity to consider the shortening the deadline for implementation of cross-border payments that the report by mrs peijs urge . 
the debate is closed . 
it is a good policy to favour a pragmatic approach and of proximity , which places the small business at the heart mechanism , rather than a proposal which , under the pretext of avoid the scattering , it would serve only to produce fair statistics , including the concrete would be impossible . 
specifically , i have three comments to make on this programme . 
remember that the first programme of community action in this area has been adopted in 1983 , is that it is seventeen years . 
furthermore , i have always wanted these goals through an effective policy and pragmatic . 
i would say that are of real economic and commandos of innovation , being first in line and very exposed to risks inherent in this area . 
we will have to take into account the results of the work symposium ' governance ' science and that there is , the last week in brussels , under the centre of technology foresight in seville , and follow-up of this meeting , because there are many interferes with the subject that we are discussing today . 
the rapporteur enumerates a number of priorities to reinforce the entrepreneurial spirit of the european parliament . 
it is for the excellent image of the europe that because we can help the people of a rapid , appropriate and responsible . 
mr president , i also wish to express my thanks and for the excellent work done by mrs montfort . 
the important , is to find the right balance , to ensure that there was a fail constantly at the expense of others . 
this is not right and i therefore support this report . 
that is the guiding principle of the charter for small businesses . 
the programme will ensure that the networks provide this information . 
it is clear that the main aim of this plan is to combat the migration to the countries of the european union and that of repatriate the people who live illegally in the european union . 
i emphasise the need to set up measures for the improvement of security , strengthening the dialogue between europe and the regional authorities to albania and that , as far as the commission and the council , the promotion of particular actions in cooperation with the albanian authorities , greek and italian . 
the lack of reports social , economic and political combined the lack of security and to the crime lead to the flows of mass of migration . 
mr president , unlike mrs pack , my opinion is that it will be of groups which is planks of the european albania , the better . 
it is not of course possible to find a solution to immediately problem in its entirety , but in a slightly longer term , the aim is to create a world of fairness and reason , which offers the men of security and for the future . 
there is a gap between , on the one hand , the donors , we are all , europe , the united states , which give of the money , which are projects , and the other hand , the people who work on the ground . 
therefore use the bilateral agreements , which , in a legal and clear , define the work , the duration of residence , the place of residence , the remuneration , the time , the conditions of work and of social security , so that the migrants and become a force which will value the economies of our countries and will contribute to the friendship and cooperation between the peoples and not the growing of nationalist aspirations and worthy of the cold war . 
of men and women are sent as they have been more or less integrated . 
the priority must be given the means to limit the flow of migrants or of refugees , but on how to improve the living conditions of the region so that the people do not have to leave their homes . 
mr president , i believe , as the commissioner has said , mrs dimitrakopoulos that there is the centre of which is of the difficulties of the albania - of economic , social and internal security - the whole question of help this country to restore the state of law , to give the security to its citizens , to restore the authority of its institutions and of its local administrations . 
i share the opinion of our colleague mr liese , that we need to establish the burden of the policy of asylum and refugee policy . 
the plan of action for the european albania has been adopted in june this year , and it is the kind of sixth . 
there is , in the population , a frustration diffuse , but also a lack of community law . we want invite the european parliament and the other community institutions to not to shrink back the small work painful , to work with precision , to use the time and the staff necessary to the performance of tasks . 
with this report , we want to show citizens that we take seriously their complaints about the poor quality of the legislation and those relating to the regionalisation and to the excessive centralisation . 
the subject is of course important , even if the small number of people to discuss is not necessarily assume at first sight . 
in addition , and it is an essential point , the report addresses the question of subsidiarity , which this evening , raises the controversy in this house . 
it would be very interesting that it is a state of the legislation , in the light of this principle , in order to simpler , more transparent , more efficient and more relevant in the densities of texts redundant , as is the invite the paragraph 6 of this report . 
after studying the report with great attention to , i ended up to the conclusion that it is not even have a political principle but a fundamental principle of theological . 
we must therefore guarantee recognition of the principle of subsidiarity to the most small , the realities autonomous communities , to training , social intermediaries to training , to the families and citizens who are the real unique sovereign states of the legislative and administrative action . 
i shall give you a vision summarising the situation . 
i give the floor to the commissioner . 
is an area where we should move towards a detailed regulation , with the guarantee that it will be implemented everywhere or should we move towards a voluntary agreement , provided that it can be implemented and controlled ? 
- ( de ) if i have voted in favour of the report , even if some of my amendments have not been adopted , it is because it is on the question of high costs of exchange and transfer in the euro . 
when , in some fifteen months , the same notes and coins will be introduced in eleven member states , it cost more money to buy this new currency outside the country where it is also . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to say that i regret that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , cannot be with us today . 
it should encourage cooperation in the field of the fisheries and the moroccan fisheries sector and at the same time fully meet the interests of the fishing fleets european . 
we are therefore reached consensus to work in the context of a responsible partnership , after which the morocco presenting its point of view in a meeting which will , as you have said , in brussels on 30 october , that is monday . 
a few weeks , i myself went to algeciras , on the south coast spanish . this is not of morocco . 
over the years , we have seen that they were not only difficult but also that they could become impossible . 
through the fisheries agreements , the european union can exercise of fishing activities and exchange prerogatives of fisheries agreements with third countries . 
i have read in a review on the technical swedish fisheries how one of these vessels cornered its decision to el aaiún , which is described as a port moroccan . 
all this is put to the test . that is the whole of our fisheries agreements and not just with the morocco as there is also the mauritania and soon the guinea , among others - which are called into question . 
we have eleven months to get to a turning point where we are in , and that the meeting of 30 and in this sense , we also appreciate the latest measures taken by commissioner fischler , the results of its travel from 26 to morocco and the meetings held in a high level , including with the king itself . 
but i would like to ask the commission is today , worthily represented by commissioner busquin , messages few very brief . 
my question to the commission is : if we do not to an agreement with morocco , or if this is agreement in the terms reported by the commission , an agreement which the production moroccan , does the commission adopt structural measures to compensate for the delay which will in the regions affected ? 
as we , as foreseen , the difficulties of negotiation with the moroccan authorities have been great . 
finally , the case , regrettable , where the negotiations fail , the european union is the political and moral duty to support fishermen and the owners of aid by satisfactory and measures to ensure their means of subsistence . 
we must reduce the over-capacity of the fishing industry of the community . 
that is why we need as quickly as possible and economic and political relations with morocco , in the same time in defending the interests of our european fishermen . 
that is why the commission is on the basis of a new partnership for an interesting development with the two parties , on the one hand , the full development of the fisheries sector of morocco , the fleet , the european aquaculture , the processing trade , research , and the other hand , the granting of fishing opportunities to european fishermen . 
rights of teachers language 
the difference is clear , and not just in german . 
in july 1999 , the commission has brought this infringement proceedings before the court of justice . 
therefore , in the case that the will to harmonise the systems - we hope that - at the moment , the principle of subsidiarity must not allow the fact that to a discrimination , and that much more likely , is the request of a privilege . 
we can no doubt admit that the previous commission , that of mr santer , is not the best , that is why the seems to have gone . 
the members of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market of the whole of the european union and all the parties , have met to proclaiming the uselessness speak of human and to recommend the adoption of charters of rights if , in situations where real of individuals are deprived of their rights , the nothing is done to ensure that these rights are recognised and respected . this is the problem in this case . 
this is completely unacceptable in a modern europe . 
in the area of education is still the principle of subsidiarity , but in the treaties , the free movement of workers and the ban on discrimination we are common to all , although we - and particularly me , as i come from a state very fédératif - we say supporters of the subsidiarity principle as the principle of the order of cooperation in the european union and that we undertake to ensure that the allocation of competences between the levels in europe are classified as soon as the principle of subsidiarity . 
in this context , there can be no question of discrimination . 
you , mr president , you would treat by someone who is aware of the terms surgical in italian , french , english , german or by a surgeon ? 
( the sitting was closed at 10h56 ) 
we their express our deepest sympathy . 
i give the floor to mr ceyhun , which is as rapporteur and on behalf of the socialist group . 
as to the statements by the council and the commission on the third asia-europe meeting , the council has indicated that it does not wish to speak at this time . 
therefore , is an issue which , under the treaties and the euratom treaty , the responsibility of the commission ; it is , or can apply , many citizens who are not exclusively spanish because there is , in this area and in the region , without that there is any contingency plans , hundreds of thousands of citizens from fifteen countries of the european union , and of many people who come from outside in the use of the costa del soil . 
madam president , it is sad , albeit very revealing , to hear the minister of the market spanish , mr mayor oreja that there is no point in dialogue with the basque nationalists and this , even if a new cease-fire was said at the future . 
i should like to ask that we look at this week a statement by the commission on the british government 's decision to introduce a discriminatory tax for the hauliers not british . 
as the parties it is said that liberal and even european tend to become more to form an alliance with the forces of inspiration , racist and xenophobic authoritarian , i believe that it is not just a serious danger for the european italy but also a sign of something which concerns the whole of europe . 
my report contains however severe criticism of with regard to the the french proposal . 
these applications are expressed in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . 
the initiative of the french presidency that we are examining today is intended to improve the two general conventions on mutual assistance in criminal matters , which i have mentioned earlier - particularly in the area of the fight against money laundering . 
i must admit that the draft of the fight against money laundering of money has a bad , because this is not to the parliament , but the council . 
we can only congratulate of this work . 
naturally , the path to follow , as mr marinho , i can agree - is the communitisation . 
all the people who have expressed have agreed that this is an excellent initiative , and we support its content . 
that is what we need is that europol should operate across borders . 
these are facts that are too often in our europe of today , and to give my support to a recognition hasty , i would like to see a recognition of standards fair . 
i know that it is difficult because we must build on the basis of instruments dispersed . 
but it is also a need to strengthen the economic side is that the european union and this is as the citizen which we must take into account because the citizens of the european union have the right to security . 
in the european union , we must fight with tenacity of the fight against money laundering , in aware that we need to have a policy and effective judicial cooperation between the member states , as effective as possible , especially since the creation of the single market and the capital markets and financial services . 
the council financial , is not to think that the lawyer has not exercised its profession as such . 
i should also like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the question raised by various members on the conditions in which the confidentiality of the legal professions can be based refusal of judicial cooperation in the fight against money laundering . 
this is particularly true with regard to the serious crimes and the most serious committed on a cross-border . 
as a whole , the mission is if large and important that it cannot be supported by the council . 
that is why it is necessary to strengthen the rights of citizens in adopting an effective instrument and to recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly in relation to its right to the interpretation and its power to decide whether or not . 
therefore , although i am sympathetic to the strengthening of cooperation and coordination , i believe that to make this a legislative system would be a mistake , and we will oppose . 
the second point i want is also interesting . 
this is a positive initiative , and to be welcomed that it is obtain such support in this house . 
i shall take this opportunity to - as several members have raised - very difficult to tell you quite frankly , just as mr coelho say that this initiative , we mainly appears as a first initiative which shows the political will of the council to recover the delay which exists in judicial cooperation , in relation to the police cooperation . 
and that is why there is also an important instrument for guaranteeing the judicial control of europol . 
the programme fair on the actions of research in the field of agriculture and fisheries was included in the fourth framework programme which was under 1994 to 1998 . 
given the importance of the programme of research for the agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that there has mentioned some problems in the organisation of the programme . 
the report of the court of auditors on the programme fair , to the report of the rapporteur , is that has been published in march of this year even if the letters of sector on the audit had initially been sent by the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . 
i would like , on behalf of the committee on fisheries , the highlight certain points . 
you mentioned , and i thank you , that was the thinking behind this report , by dialogue with the court of auditors , the services of the commission and the interest that you have brought . 
this illustrates that the commission has not been inactive and that it is following the comments you have made . 
i now turn to the question that mrs morgan has put on the recovery of are . 
thank you , commissioner . 
the price will issued the association of european basta ya ' the part-session in december next . 
i am firmly convinced that it is also means , even if some heads of state and government do not want to admit it , the opening of the constitutional process so often and if unremittingly requested by this parliament . 
i am particularly pleased to be before you today to discuss in detail of this beautiful project that is the charter of fundamental rights of the european union , before you is adopting the final position of on this text . 
i have , for my part , no doubt that this will opportunity . 
however , it is true that some criticisms have been made on the content of the charter . 
i believe that this is an awareness of the important position and i welcome that . 
it was a great success for us , other members - and the groups have front on this point , which is a positive result , we have an sixteen that members represent the european parliament in the convention . 
i believe that this is a charter of and that it can become , as the headline a major european newspaper on 26 september 2001 , the visiting card for the future of europe . 
my group therefore continues to believe that it is absolutely essential to include a reference to the charter in article 6 , paragraph 2 of the treaty . 
many were those which pensèrent that the european union had the opportunity to get out of the single area of free trade and the european liberal rut laying the foundations of a europe of citizens . 
the european summit in nice in december , the civil society has decided to take action to make its voice heard and rooftops its desire for a charter of real guarantees for the citizens of europe . 
to this , beyond the signatures , it is essential that all the countries and the political forces take an effective commitment and the respect for all days . the charter is not extension . 
then weep or are pretend to be happy , celebrate this great event but it is not a great event vacuum . 
the convention has for the excellent work . 
it is time to the rights of the individual , the citizen 's rights , but also the social rights . 
the right to good administration , which is also mentioned by mrs malmström , is one of the most significant progress . 
to what extent will mr blair to its self-enforcing the freedom to speak on this brilliant , i do not know , because i did not have not heard . 
the last time , you mentioned the glass is half empty or to half full . 
but the council of cologne , aided by the european parliament , which has been to pepper its role of semeur of confusion , has ended up forget to everyone is that it is within the competence of national parliaments , that these are being done by stealing landslides progressive . 
when it is the protection of fundamental rights , a surplus can be just as dangerous that a lack of ! 
when the is the speeches made by some members , it is that this information is more necessary than ever . 
the big question is what divides us to know what this charter . 
we will be voting in favour of the charter , but with the feeling that will not mobilise the enthusiasm and the involvement of citizens as necessary with regard to the european union . as usual , of the governments - and some more than other - in hold the historic responsibility . 
in the co-rapporteur , mr duff , it is a major step towards improving the quality of european integration . 
for those who feel the need , i recommend to read the explanations contained in the convention , 49 and look forward to the law of two courts which are related to the charter . 
mr president , i have long been of doubts . 
for the first time since the creation of the european union , we have the basis of a constituti
