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 constitution , a constitution for the supranational structure that is the european union . 
the demonstration is a call for a social and democratic europe , a europe of citizens . 
the draft charter can be used , as provisional , by the parties , the unions , environmental organisations , the churches and many other groups in the member states of the european union and candidate countries , as an interesting document of reflection on the future of cooperation between the european peoples . 
i would like to focus on three points which have already been made this morning . 
the charter which will be adopted today and will strengthen in the common values and fundamental rights on which our community should be . 
i am , of course , to those who want include , in article 6 , a reference to the charter and its integration in the treaties . 
remember bernard connolly case of the green paper , criticism on the commission has been banned by the court of first instance . 
this synthesis is important , as the european union is called upon to define the legal status , in terms of rights and obligations , nationals of third countries which are legally in the european union . 
i am , to my mind , exactly , as he convinced , on the one hand , it will have unique immediate effects , and the other hand , it is binding shortly . 
i have heard , in this debate , some formulae potent : the charter is a bonemeal for the dog - the dog as the european parliament - or the cache-sexe renunciations of a presidency of the french death , especially in its conduct of the igc . 
that is why the which has led parliament to propose the establishment of a forum in euro-turc , involving an in-depth qualified the representatives of the turkish community and the european parliament which will received the mandate . 
the unanimity does not mean that we are satisfied democracy in turkey and the way in which turkey respect of the human rights : we are not . 
this means , of course , i know that turkey 's candidacy for the continues in the questions . 
the wish of the presidency is that this will be adopted quickly if possible , in fact from the 20 november , in the next general affairs council and , as i have already indicated , in respect of the very specific decisions taken in helsinki . 
it is no less - as the commission has very clearly stated in its regular report - that turkey must , as all the other candidate countries , to meet the copenhagen criteria in the process of rapprochement . 
in his speech last month before the turkish parliament , the president sezer very clearly why the that turkey is no alternative to the commitment of the reforms . 
i thank you for your attention . 
here too , there has been some slightly positive signals . 
we resisted attempts to , sometimes misleading , and disturb the balance of the report that has managed to achieve , and we resisted in particular to amendments which seek to the european parliament tribunal to try the past . 
that is an clear , as it is clear that turkey will , as in the case of any civilised society , to the idea of confront its past , also horrific that it has been . 
the accession of turkey on this basis , and not in terms of usa geostrategic or of the nato - would be a enrichment for the european union and a significant step towards the european unification of europe . 
account only a small part of turkey 's territory is part of the european continent ? 
we are voting against this report , as we have voted against all the reports to integrate turkey into the european union . 
the most pity would be to awaken in turkey expectations which cannot be satisfied because of the political situation . 
report ( a5-0310 / 2000 ) by mrs langenhagen , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , the special report no 9 / 1999 by the court of auditors on the actions of research in the field of agriculture and fisheries - fair programme ( fisheries , agriculture and agro-industrial research - accompanied the responses of the commission ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ) 
i welcome this report and i am voting for . 
instead of drawing of the human rights and social rights to the high , will the operations in order to draw the board . 
it is not a shadow of a doubt that its ultimate aim is to serve preamble to come to a european constitution , which in turn , will the crowning achievement of the progress of the eu to the federalisation , where institutionalised now , the decisions are taken by some powerful to be applied by all . the main objective is to serve the interests of the monopolies of the european union harm the interests of workers and , more generally , the peoples . 
a typical case is presented by the article 2-2 ' nobody can be condemned to death , or executed ' . 
nowhere is it said that , despite our requests , that the family is made up of a man and that a woman voices of children , and it is the basic unit of society . 
insofar as the judges have not been elected , this is a step backwards in terms of democratic government . 
certainly , i would have desired directly integrated in our european treaties . 
however , i have abstained in the final vote , because i think that certain social rights are made to a less frank that the economic rights . 
the commission 's original idea of the convention was to have a text which would consensual the fifteen governments to the binding by its incorporation into the treaties . 
in reality , the fight against social exclusion is left to the assistance , put in place of the requirement of rights for binding employers and the member states . 
for my part , i am convinced that the secularism is a value emancipatory subjects of major importance . 
lack also have the obligation linked to the social property . 
it is clear that this document is not designed to be legally binding , as it is not a legal text . 
some members of the irish government have raised , there is little , about the to see whether brussels threatening the identity irish and mr ahern , in that the membership of the ireland to the eu is fundamental to its prosperity and its economic success , is firmly opposed to any movement towards a more rapid - centralised federal europe , as this would far beyond what the majority of europeans wish or are prepared to accept at this time . 
guess that the emporta ? 
i would changeover to that in the course of this session , seven reports in total their origins in national initiatives , which indicates that this system , where , there is finally very productive . 
these measures voluntarist are absolutely necessary to combat this phenomenon , which has continued to develop and is internationalized . 
by means of this initiative , the french presidency proposes the adoption of a framework for the approximation of laws and procedures in criminal matters on the laundering of money , for example , screening , freezing and confiscation of funds ) . 
all the member states should deal with the laundering of money as a crime punishable a minimum of four years of imprisonment . 
as the laundering of money is immense . at world level , it is clear that europol should be of powers to combat , to establish a european strategy for police and judicial cooperation . 
i welcome the report by mrs roure on a new initiative of the french presidency - in view , this time to improve the legal cooperation , to ensure that no barrier is nothing to stop the extradition of criminals suspected of money laundering and other offences which illegal use of funds . 
madam president , this is the only report on which i have voted against . 
that is the first member state which casts a bridge the gap geographical above that separates us of the european asia , and the first a tradition of mainly muslim . 
this is especially true when we committed to quantity increasing the resources of the eib , and this cover completely without the economic risks that we take . 
in this context , i out the main conclusion of paragraph 22 says that turkey does not of the copenhagen criteria and i highlights the many condemnations of acts and shortcomings , which the turkey has been the subject in the areas of the human rights , democratic freedoms and in its international behaviour , and the recommendations to comply with european values associated that the european parliament has addressed to the country . 
we are concerned , mr president , not to hear , today , is of such encouragement from the turkish officials and of the turkish press , but there are , without doubt an attempt to reaction . 
eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall , nicosia is the only capital of europe which is still divided . 
the necessary steps have not been made in a proportion sufficient and turkey must continue its efforts . 
mr president , the president of the council , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , it is in my capacity as rapporteur for the accession of cyprus that i wish to speak in this debate . 
mr president , it is not possible to vote for the morillon report , because we are convinced that , contrary to what he says and to ensure that a large number of people expect , also in turkey , the accession process is not improve the lives of people . 
but i believe that at the same time it is not a clear picture of the situation black too . 
there is a relationship internal . 
in marseilles euro-mediterranean conferences 
mr brok , who joined us , is wondering precisely on the delays in the negotiations . 
we have europeans , a experience to make . 
in fact , it is not only , as 1995 , to restore a balance with the is the future of europe , it is also prepare for the future enlargement of the european union . 
the xenophobia , the state terrorism or other forms of terrorism are also in this area and i hope that we will have the opportunity to put it right . 
it is a fact that we have , unfortunately , we live . 
but , once again , we should be francs . 
all this shows awareness of the inadequacy of the results achieved to date , even if the answers are not yet , in my view , up to the same situation , and it is true that five years , this is not much for the complex process also . 
that is why i think that the debate today is may serve to make us aware of the central importance of this policy for the whole union . 
this is not a question of competition between all these needs that it is , but these are new money that we need . 
the spiral of violence in the middle east , the war with determination and violence against the palestinian people , to which israel continues to refuse the right to a state , threaten the future of the whole region . 
mr president , as the european union must find in nice , the balance between enlargement and deepening , it should develop , in marseilles , a balanced relationship between the european central function and its responsibility mediterranean . 
however , the general idea of balance that we adopt the in this fifth anniversary of the barcelona process is that we can look to the continuity of simple process , the fact that there has been ministerial meetings with representatives of the state of israel , of the palestinian authority , syria , lebanon and , etc. this is perhaps a consolation . 
the common problems which affect the mediterranean region are legion : illegal immigration , poverty , external debt of the human rights , drought and terrorism , which ruthlessly destroyed the life of human beings and families innocent , as we live tragically in spain , algeria or the middle east . 
we are ready to believe , but the southern countries need to have other things that promises of or of speech : it is of the give them . 
the europe has made no policy in desertification or of water in the mediterranean countries and we will have to take a specific policy to the environment mediterranean which transpose the parameters , the logical and even the diversity climate in the mediterranean . 
the proposals which are before us today are far more balanced . 
i now turn to the agency to in kosovo . 
we cannot disappoint and is now more than ever , these countries need our help . 
in conclusion , and i shall according to the commission , i say that these two proposals are the cornerstone of a process which needs to enable these countries , who have suffered and still suffering , to be able to fully integrated into european structures . 
to the future , we must give the responsibility to a smaller number - to a director-general also , if you like , so that in one way or the real responsibility for the body which selecting the various programmes . 
i therefore thank all colleagues who have estimated that was important and i am pleased that the future , we can strengthen this area - in terms of content - in these countries . 
i have read in some communications on the elections in bosnia that the nationalist extremists have won the elections in bosnia-herzegovina . 
the european union , as you know , is involved with determination to help these historical changes . 
examination of the reports westendorp and lagendijk , on the proposals for regulations , one to framework , and the other , to the european agency for reconstruction gives us the opportunity to return to the extent of the support that the eu intends to give the western balkans , to accompany the process of stabilisation and association . 
the victory as expected of democracy in croatia , then in the federal republic , imposes , as we know , to the european union to go well beyond . 
question time ( council ) 
as they deal with the same subject , questions 2 and 3 . 
a new period of four months is to be given to parties - that is why the resolution 1324 - to try to make progress on the two fronts . 
i would like to question the state of the association agreement with morocco . 
the stability and development of caucasus represent one of the strategic priorities for the european union . 
as to the debate with the turkey , we have a very important debate on this issue and you know very positions of the european union on this point . 
i simply that the minister insists on the fact that the legislative measures proposed are those who exploit and profit from people to be desperate situations and is not to criminalise immigrants or the more the potential immigrants . 
as legislative measures that for measures to increase the debate and to develop the awareness of are necessary . 
i believe that we must fight against these crimes by all means , all the means , and i see as the council of the european union united nations general assembly , and i believe the turkish government , are prepared to do this . 
it is to be because the other 14 member disapproved that they have taken measures . 
i take one example : if tomorrow , in my country , france - and here i am speaking as minister - came to a party of the extreme , i would like to take measures against my own country of the type of those who have taken in the of austria . 
for my part , i would like to talk values : i have spoken of values such as they are included in our texts , i have spoken of values as they are while in the charter of fundamental rights and i have spoken , particularly - it is true of the fight against all discrimination , which is included in frontispiece of european texts . that is what we must be respected . 
i remember that political dialogue is , with the future of the accession partnership , one of the elements of the pre-accession strategy of the turkey defined on this occasion . 
question no 12 by ( h-0850 / 00 ) : 
that is that we strive and this is ligne-là and in any other that we are committed . 
on this occasion , we have to recognise that the moroccan side has not replied to offer the european community . 
are the people of scotland , where , after 110 days of detention , anyone accused of having committed a crime must be judged , be released and will never be accused of this crime . 
measures have been taken ( security of supply , efficiency ) to the economy of the member states less sensitive to external crisis ? what are the means and priorities of the council to short , medium and long term , with regard to efficiency and energy savings of ? 
the position of the european union on the extraterritorial measures proposed by the united states has not changed . 
finally , i have pointed out that the european union took note with concern the comments made up by the agencies and the united nations programmes and therefore deplored the negative consequences and often dramatic consequences of the american economic embargo for the cuban people . 
the council do not understand that it is a political issue by excellence and that it is unacceptable that adhere to this equal distance of the victim and the executioner ? 
the one hand , to this office is in line with the decision of the commission decentralize ; on the other hand , it is an excellent results of management in the task that he does . 
they do not recognise the borders . we must combat the illegal activities cross-border , that is in the field of drug trafficking , of cross-border cooperation or from the trafficking in human beings . 
it appropriate that the commissioner patten , who has a great experience , not to say wisdom - in the treatment of international crises , and which , moreover , has visited various regions of the korean balkan , to make the headquarters of the european agency for reconstruction , in thessaloniki to see how this works service . 
but the region , the more turbulent region of europe , has never been also full of hope that it is today . 
but i should like to thank the house for the excellent quality and the speed of its work in the examination of these two proposals for regulations . 
we also achieved of rapid results in serbia , where the commission has put in place , in the space of four weeks only , a programme of emergency aid with a total of eur 200 million to . 
of course , we can also accept the proposal ensure that the guidelines adopted in the future the commission reflect this same research to be more efficiency which underlies our reforms . 
i hope that the european parliament will significance of the proposals that i presented in may and that it will continue to work constructively with the other to this very difficult issue . however , i cannot offer my support to the parliament 's amendment to delete the requirement of unanimity , because it would be contrary to the the opinion of college . 
the challenge of this third summit held in seoul was to deepen the asem process as part of the governments of that for the general public . 
this is an area of interpersonal ' ( ' people-to-people ) , the principle of openness asem process to a greater section of the civil society has been maintained , although the initiatives of ngos to establish a social forum have not been able to come into the cause of the reluctance of some asian partners . 
we are also very pleased that the summit of seoul has taken place and that all the heads of government , but one or two , there were present . 
there was even two proposals which have been adopted , to the table on globalization and the fellowship program duo , which provides 4 300 fellowships to competition of 25 million dollars americans . 
the commission 's communication of confined to address the aspects relating to powers for the community and the member states in the tasks consequent participation in the rfos . 
if the starts from the principle that , of all coastal countries in the world , there are those who benefit from economic potential , legal and legislative policy which the european union , we can to how important it is to ask ourselves what is our responsibility . 
the reform of the cfp vital , but it will be even more important to put in place the appropriate reforms . 
i refer to migratory fish . 
we are all aware , in the european union and beyond . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the first i would like to thank you for the support dedication to all our efforts to promote and strengthen the action of the community in regional fisheries organisations . 
up to now , some progress speakers have already been made , but we must first be to find a better planning in the time . 
in fact , the continued improvements to the productivity of livestock already generates a growth of the supply and if you have to be accompanied by an extension of bounds without the apparatus of production , this would once again , inevitably , a heavy imbalance of the market . 
instead of this , it is much more sensible that every producer of pigmeat is its own economies . farmer to each of its piggy pigs . 
it is also about the need to encourage producers ' organisations , which is the very different establishment of a member state to another . 
organisations of the markets , and that they have worked up until now , have encouraged the processes of concentration more than they have the prevented . 
the globalization of the economy is here as a trap , and this has nothing to do with the crises cyclical . 
all farmer , where it is in the european union , will subscribe to this mechanism . 
mr president , commissioner , the author of the report , mr garot , has dealt with seriously and made this proposal the commission to the establishment of a fund regulation for the pigmeat sector . 
it is a question of balance . 
in this respect , i must say that my conclusions are different from those of my colleague mr garot , in relation to the commission proposal , i could almost the agreement as it has been presented , although if we want to be honest , we must recognise that there is no specific to to resolve the problem . 
then there is the involvement of specialized producers of piglets in the proposed system , that amendments nos 7 and 13 the say . 
that is , i would ask that the commission has presented us ? 
firstly , an analysis of the budgetary implementation and practices of management was carried out for each of the financial headings . 
on this point , the court repeat what it was the previous years , i.e. that such a trend has consequences for : decisions inept and rash , overloading the work of causing a risk of errors , etc . 
the dramatic events that have taken place recently have clearly demonstrated that the problems of management and control constraint to become more heavily on the european agenda . 
this penalises member states conscientious and reward the least conscientious . 
in this respect , i would add quickly that the commission places the emphasis in his work on the improvement of external aid , both in the direction of institutional restructuring in this area that in the direction of liquidation strengthened and more quickly than in the past important commitments remaining to . 
now , the european parliament is in an extremely difficult situation , because it has said again this year - in january - that it will not accept more of serious errors in the clearance of accounts for 1999 . 
i would like problems and i hope that mr karlsson will reply to my issues today . 
we need more and more figures of facts . 
i hope that will be already this year so that we can begin to assess the dg . 
we all know course that the commission is to some changes . 
this will reduce the number of errors . 
the commission is now held in the rules . 
may i first thank mr karlsson because this year , cooperation with the committee on budgetary control has much better market that the previous years . 
i would ask you to a ranking of countries and sectors most affected by the mismanagement in the eu . 
madam president , i should like to thank the court of auditors for the report and its political assessment , yesterday , in the committee on budgetary control . efforts of the reform and their need have once again been made . 
we should be read what has been said by mrs van der laan , we are all agreed on that . 
to this end , should perhaps the president of the court a power of decision on the more important methods of the court and the way in which it communicates . 
the rates are different from one state to another , and their composition is different from one state to another . 
his work in the most important thing in common agricultural policy , the special report on the arable crops , the court concludes that , from 1993 to 1997 , the community budget has paid more than 13 thousand million more than that would be reasonable . 
i do not raise questions to which it is impossible to answer . 
the court of auditors must also change its working methods . 
we can always something to be welcomed . 
this report was approved by a large majority of members of the committee on the european parliament 's , and , therefore , i will defend the result of the vote this commission . 
the second point concerns of the export ban , to which reference has sing the merits . 
i have therefore the reserves and inclined to reject this provision . 
in the second or third reading , we will need the famous 314 votes , and that the report is , we are shall certainly not . 
the commission has to propose a measure hesitant , but welcome , in this direction , that the commissioner expand a little more when he responds . 
we agree with the rapporteur on the need to inform the consumer the risks and to play the map of the transparency , particularly in terms of health and safety . 
i think it is better to take greater account of the principle of subsidiarity . 
however , i remember a major debate that i had with my daughter elisabetta when it was nine years and that it is asked me to make a turn only in the street . 
the need to ensure that we guarantee a full protection of consumers , without , however regulate certain things several times or of a contradictory . 
furthermore , i would stress the importance of the amendments approved by the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , which increase the transparency with regard to the final consumer and that specify the responsibilities , not only of producers , but also of distributors in any operations to withdraw regarded as dangerous products . 
that also means that when of new provisions are taken in the sectoral legislation , they replace the provisions of the directive . 
many of the amendments are an improvement on the original text and can therefore be accepted by the commission . 
thirdly , amendment no 4 proposes to add , in preamble , a requirement obliging the member states to produce concrete reports with aid to the institutions and independent , be they public or private . 
that the commission is in favour of the cooperation and of common principles , the proposed wording is contrary to the principle of subsidiarity . 
no problem arising from the current wording has been pointed to the commission and the changes weaken the existing provisions . 
amendments nos 39 and 44 propose that the information on products are dangerous to the public that they cannot a decision to ban or of point has been taken . they also propose that the exchange of information covered by the professional secrecy is not possible between the supervisory authorities of the markets . 
mr martelli normally , you cannot say that the end of the vote , but i give you the floor exceptionally and briefly . 
report ( a5-0294 / 2000 ) by mrs eriksson , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and the equality of opportunities , on the proposal for a council decision on the programme for the eu strategy on the principle of equality between men and women 2001-2005 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 335 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 ( cns ) ) 
mr president , my question relates to the next vote of the amendments relating to paragraph 10 , which is the armenian genocide . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the responsibility is twofold : there is the governments of the countries of the union , but also the governments of the mediterranean partners . 
this aid is more than justified by the scale of this tragedy . 
the prohibition of night work for women was one of the few areas in which the social legislation of some countries , protecting the women , were a little more in advance for the workers and employees . 
i very much hope that in the future , the commission will annually and a balance in good time to parliament to conduct a proper analysis and discussion in more depth . 
it is with regret that i have voted against this proposal . 
it is important that our products are safe , but we have to overcome certain limits by positive action extremes . 
today , the european agency for kosovo is led by a council of direction where the representatives of the member states and the commission have all of a voice and where decisions are taken to the majority of two countries . 
for the serbia , to resolve the problem is that of kosovo . 
the danish social democrats have voted against a report to introduce a system of aid to the producers of pigmeat in the eu . 
if that is , as everyone knows , even with a certain openness of the french presidency , the commission rejects these proposals and it does not seem to be a majority of the council for the approve . 
a variation minimal the supply of enough to cause a crisis situation to . 
mr president , the armenian genocide was the first in a long series of in the 20th century that is a success of the century genocide . 
the sweden is not prepared to participate in a common military defence , but the actions of civil crisis management with , we cannot support paragraph 15 , where the ' welcomes the will of the turkey to contribute to improving the european capacities in the context of the european policy in terms of security and defence ' . 
but beyond the duty to remember that is the demand of a democracy , and which the european aware how difficult it is difficult and painful , so that some european countries do not have completed , it is important that these acts of barbarism have destroyed lives for reasons of ethnic , religious or cultural and which affect the universal conscience again is never . 
it is , without doubt , another debate that of today , but on behalf of the european that i attach great importance to turkey , i wanted to say it today . 
the peace is possible because they are more blocked to exercise their right to self-determination . 
i have voted for the amendments asking this recognition , today is to continue this testimony and to recognise the pain of a people . 
it took place at the time of the ottoman empire . 
not only the jové peres report would make this situation for the existing regional organisations and those which are in creation , but it would strengthen the putting an end to the habit of the commission to appeal to support the technicians from different member states . 
my remarks are for the issue which we are discussing today , the representation of the european community in the regional fishing organisations , but it is applies equally to the negotiations example in the framework of the world trade organisation . 
my suggestion together in the then has been supported by trittin mr , president of the council of time , as well as the european commission , to ensure that the decision of parliament merge three directives , it is not opposed to a great deal of resistance . 
one example : the pvc is 0.7 % of waste . 
i conclude , mr president , by saying that the ppe / de group is satisfied with the work that has been done in this third reading . 
mr president , i would also like to thank mr blokland for his work on this important issue . 
incinerated is not recycle . 
mr blokland 's report now third reading was to many members for the first time the commission of the environment in the first test greatness nature to learn the members practices . 
of emission limits for new , more stringent , have been introduced for the new cement kilns to destined for the co-incineration , as the commissioner has said evans . 
that is the various national situations , we can see , in all member states of the european union , a fairly general scope of the compulsory , a role systems of so-called insurance scheme to supplementary and enhancing the factors of serologically . 
it is , however , it proposal for a directive on the following : to ban the use of information nominative from the genetic research , a key ; the lack of examinations of health prior to the subscription ; the setting up of an obligation to guarantee offer by the insurer , taking into account the better coordinated allowances for those people who work and move in the european union and , finally , the introduction of a mechanism of mediation . 
we adopt an attitude in an increasingly positive with regard to the cross-border care , and functioning of the internal market is therefore more and more in applicable to health care . 
the united states , for example , we are often ' example of ' in terms of liberal economy , but we would be a fatal mistake the need to take for example the policy of health . 
it is not that the eu set of rules , for example , information therapeutical or imposed on each of the obligation to be guaranteed , that this ruin the diversity of educational systems supplementary insurance which exist today in many countries and which are on the basis of actuarial principles . 
it is clear that it was the bit of a means to be accepted . 
it is in the health of all citizens of our member states and the coherence of our territories . 
this is not by chance that i am faced with these problems in the context dutch . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , mr rocard invite the commission to define a green paper in the characteristics of assurance of basis in the legal insurance disease . 
it is a concern that process . 
mr president , those who , as we are , spent throughout their life to the study of the social issues will remember that the old textbooks began generally the social protection as a whole package of measures for the protection of the state of covering risks economically verify , nature to individual or familiar and which the individuals - the family - cannot be face themselves . 
then , that is an important reflection on the causes of the failure of the public medical assistance is necessary . 
it appears that supplementary presupposes a legal system of rights and services . 
in trying to eliminate discrimination on the basis of background medical , mr rocard would killed the goose bucks . 
the commission will immediately in the context of its powers , and i will try to reply to the conclusions of your report . 
i also hope that the proposals to recognise the importance of the qualifications of the european parliament and in the life will also adopted , it must always take account of phenomenon of the most important of social exclusion and poverty people doing the however a professional activity paid . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the economic and monetary affairs committee also wants to congratulate the rapporteur for his report . 
the next item is the recommendations of the commission for a council 's opinion on the agenda of the stability programmes in germany , finland and the netherlands . 
we have to take a different and to ask if this of the stability and growth is elapsed with the implementation of quantitative target of a figure final determined , or whether it is the introduction of other aspects relating to the quality of public finances in the forthcoming programmes . 
our message of basis is that the proposal margin to tax reductions must go hand in hand with a tight control of expenditure . 
i believe that in the whole , be that it is a review of positive . 
they are risks of overheating in one of the larger countries of europe , which is also one of the main countries for the european economy is to say , the germany . 
mr president , i thank mr della vedova . 
i think that is on these two aspects , on the relevance of the fight against bse in europe and its developments in france , that you and we have heard expressed here today . 
we propose to the european commission and our partners to the european union to prepare for the extension of the european union to the tests , in accordance with scientific recommendations . 
and , effectiveness and transparency will independence , the key philosophy clearly risk assessment of safety in europe . 
i return to this later . 
however , it is necessary that these tests are implemented in a much more scale . 
measures of active surveillance , including the random testing , are in progress to prevent the cases of bse to enter the food chain . 
in the sort of situation we are facing , it is trying to turn to a solution magic , that a solution to the time eliminate the risk and restore the confidence . 
i would monday the member states is they fear that the weaknesses in the implementation of the controls , weaknesses which run counter to the application of community legislation on the matter , are a factor is the reason why the current state of the incidence of bse . 
however , there must be possible to combine both to the speed of action and seriously . 
it is up to you the conclude quickly . 
this is a requirement importance , particularly with regard to this specific problem of the bse crisis . 
our group calls for an immediate ban on meat and bonemeal for all the of livestock , as long as the member states will ensure in the implementation of the laws on the prevention of bse and the rigorous application of directives . 
i do not know if it is the panacea , commissioner , but on behalf of the precautionary principle , it seems that the experience we need to ban as of now the use of meal in the feeding of all the of livestock , including the pigs and poultry , the fish . 
i believe that the debate which has now begun in this house , who is to seek , which of the council , the commission or of the house , is the more or less the , seems somewhat superfluous . 
firstly , as other members have said , must be a screening on all cattle slaughtered for animal feed to the citizens of europe . 
in a courage and of ambition , we can combining the interest of the european countries and the economic interest of our producers and we can restore confidence . 
they are , i would , in no way responsible for the crisis . that is why the european union must show its solidarity with them . 
i do not accept more the arrogance of some member states , which does not , the tests are not calling of regulation . 
the union must play solidarity as our policy has shown its inconsistencies : set-aside , meal for ruminants , nitrates and pesticides . 
and that i have heard mr gollnisch say that the group has been at the forefront in the fight of the bse crisis . 
in addition , we appropriate to ensure that any outbreak of bse is circumscribed and that the export of meat is prohibited to their nature that healthy is proved . 
it is unacceptable that we accept inadequately this priority in the political field . 
i am pleased to see that we are always the extension of tests on a voluntary basis . 
but if we généralisons the testing of , if we destroy the meal , if we impose the slaughter of the whole herd for one sick animal , we must demand strictly equivalent health standards on the part of the countries which are our partners and which seek to export to the community animals , of carcasses , of preparations . 
the causes are problem elsewhere . 
madam president , i am pleased that the commission is finally expressed with force in testing for ever . because , as the france has to show the : which seeks find ! 
is it that we have to act ? why should a crisis for each time that we gathered here and that we state that the european parliament place the health of the highest priority ? 
the link between bse and the feeding of meal , a very little natural the feeding of animals , the rest is clear to everyone now . 
i therefore ask the european commission to achieve a degree of harmonisation in this respect too . 
i urge the commission to review all systems set up in france to address the case of bse . 
the poison between in the system which he ends with destroy . 
it is certainly also difficult to live in this area , of national and european legislation . 
a different safeguard has been drawn in the system to protect public health and safety in the form of legislation that defines the methods of production of animal meal . 
it has been said that they would be very expensive , that it would be a large number of carcasses , etc . 
by way of example , we contributor the technical aspects of the oreiller which has caused the death of a migrated in belgium , the use of sédatifs powerful in spain , the transport of immigrants in amassed of holds of vessels in italy and spain , the tragedy 58 chinese immigrants found dead in the united kingdom port of dover after having been arrested on several occasions , the european territory and the widespread use of different means of coercion and intimidation of to the immigrants expelled . 
that is my commitment and i would reply in regard to this . 
violence against women is several forms : there is the violence in the family , which is the crime silence , there is also the forms of sexual exploitation , the trafficking in women , the trafficking of human beings . 
mr president , i say to mr nogueira that , clearly in the model that we have , the monetary policy is the european central bank and this last takes decisions in accordance with the criteria established in the treaty . 
mr president , i believe that the public , it is very important to distinguish between the internal impact and the external impact . i wonder whether the commission now , just before the introduction of the euro , to launch a action to explain to the people difference between the internal and external effects of monetary stability ? 
in the lack of concrete actions of the greek government , it will continue the procedure already committed . 
the role of the commission is to ensure the existence of a system of monitoring and measure . 
in the same decision , the commission is committed to go into the systems of support in all the member states , which is based on the specific criteria of compatibility approved until 2004 , when expire the validity of the permission of the french regime of support . 
the establishment of a europe which promotes the integration and the terms of the european council in lisbon , requires an effort and a action of the whole . 
secondly , in better to take into account the experience of the players in the field , ngos , of local authorities , social bodies and people who are themselves in a position to exclusion . 
many elderly people could confirm this , of all those who work for hours of low wages they do not ensuring a decent life - for example , farm . 
it can also be of vulnerable groups which are not enough mastered the language for a job . 
the united states , with a of the labour market more flexible , it is the guarantee that poverty is experienced periods for much more short , with a very short time of unemployment . 
in my country , approximately 75 % of people who live and work in below the poverty are women . 
we must seek to achieve , not least in part , this commitment . 
this allocation must be strengthened account of the development of realism and that are necessary in the field . 
mr president , i thank and congratulate mrs figueiredo and members today is people who have told the opinions of other committees . 
as you suggest , we must also stress the importance of ngos and the regional players and local - as you suggest - better account of their experience on the ground . 
we have already agreed that the social protection committee will meet regularly with the contact group of composed of members of parliament . 
the next item is the report ( a5-0320 / 2000 ) by mrs rothe , on behalf of the committee on industry , external trade , research and energy , one of the proposal for a directive on the european parliament and the council on the promotion of electricity from renewable sources of energy on the market of the electricity com ( 2000 ) 279 - c5-0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0114 ( cod ) ) . 
we need now of binding targets . 
another important point approved by the commission is the issue of connection and access to the network for renewable energies . 
specifically , in my country , spain , the these guidelines would be responsible for the emissions in the atmosphere of 225 billion tonnes of co2 additional up to 2010 and the fact that we could not achieve the kyoto objectives . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , we can only applaud of the commission proposal to create a framework for an increase sensitive to the medium-term proportion of electricity from renewable sources of energy in the european union . 
but the threat can always come of compatibility with the internal market . 
the waste is not a natural resource , even if we product every day in more and more . 
this directive , therefore , acquires a topical unintentional . 
that said , i warmly support this proposal . 
mr president , i would like to thank mrs rothe for her excellent report , which is very pic in this week we debating the crisis in the climate change . 
the promotion of electricity from renewable sources of energy that is something we must support without reservations . 
adaptations of technological radical are essential . 
instead of this , of proposals are on the hoof and without greater coherence . 
and i would like to end by simply mentioning three problems that were heard in this debate . 
furthermore , in the sake of consistency , the aims translated into national parameters must be binding because otherwise the ratification of the directive , content and substance . 
it is also the case , for the same reason , the purpose of amendment no 3 in part , but not of amendment no 7 , which is too technical for the text of the proposal . 
but , ladies and gentlemen , we cannot accept the parts which prejudge the application of rules on state aid to the . 
the next item is the report ( a5-0308 / 2000 ) by mrs theorin , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and the equality of opportunities , on the participation of women settlement of conflicts ( 2000 / 2025 ( ini ) ) . 
as the process of peace formal are almost exclusively men , reserved for the different experiences and statements gathered on the international show how the participation of women is important when it is to resolve conflicts and to build peace . 
decisions on the implementation and the implementation of humanitarian actions are the responsibility of the cells of crisis , but the powers of women are meet little attention to and recognition of . 
they want clearly retain their position of strength in foreign policy and defence believe that the interests of women may be defended by men . 
mr president , i would like to say that all the interest that i door to this report , i would like to stress the excellence , the great , even excellence . 
in addition , the financial resources to help women the victims of this situation must exist . 
mr president , much has already been said and i do not want to pay in the repetitions . 
mr president , commissioner , i would first like to congratulate mrs theorin for having taken the initiative of this excellent report , which is an important issue , but also of a topical : how effective participation of women talks to resolve the conflict can change the world and transform the culture of the dominant antagonism and the violence in the culture of peace , dialogue and of the regulation of democratic disputes ? 
that is why i support the demands of the report , after which the women should have a right to influence diplomatic . 
a very profound report , strict , able to make a fundamental principles of the clarity with which is in article 17 of the bold , but at the time with a great sense of practical and very necessary proposals . 
for my part , i condamnerais all forms of rape and all forms of slavery ! 
fifthly , the role played by echo , the agency to aid to the european commission , the european parliament has also invited to take into account the sexospécificités . 
the problem is that millions of people ( mainly women ) supports this work ; there is a very strong request but not least the regularise applicable in this area . 
i think that we need to encourage the member states to regulate the sector through the directives on employment , in accordance with what has already been asked in the european parliament 's opinion on these directives . 
the immigrant population is usually a collective important in this sector , which requires special measures , as in reception centres specialised , responsible to provide the necessary assistance . 
it is a question that for the member states . 
the needs in terms of domestic help are considerably increased the years , but this has hardly been taken into account in the life in general and the rights and obligations attached to the life . 
( the sitting was closed at 12.25 p.m. ) 
( very loud applause ) 
we must not only create a system internal peace and freedom of expression , but we also need the reconcile with the customs and which exist for decades in the european community and of the european union . 
the first step to take to restructure the constitution of the federal state is to establish a framework conducive to a democratic dialogue as possible on the type of relations between the two republics . 
the result is historic . you , the european parliament , which represent directly citizens of the member states of the european union , and you represent the citizens , are the best placed to understand why the possibility simple to become a member of the european union is very uncertain to the people of the current federal republic of yugoslavia . 
the affirmative sitting . 
it is , as you know , that is an extremely important and the greatest interest to the citizens and this is the least that we can stop today is a decision on this in the vote . 
the commission was that it would present a specific proposal on this in the six months , and it has taken floor . 
there are already at the present in the european union in terms of a practice of public access to documents , and we must not forget that citizens of courageous and many member states progressive are fighting for years for more transparency . 
this report still to be perfected the european parliament and that is why i believe that it must be room for improvement here . 
we are pleased to be in this report the important principle that we also support resolutely as the committee on budgetary control . 
the opportunity are now offered to understand the things which are not brought to their knowledge by the media and some groups of interests to ensure that they can participate in more open and democratic debate , which is an important if to secure the trust of the eu . 
the committee on petitions is to be shortened the length of waiting times before the publication of documents . 
as soon as the secrecy will no longer justified , the document will naturally become accessible to the public . 
i would also stress that all citizens have the guarantee of access to documents in all forms of as possible . 
the dogma of the political responsibility must not be confused with the rights of citizens in terms of access to documents . 
i would therefore appeal to the rapporteurs to eliminate in the regulation on account of the public access to documents of any reference to the rights of members . furthermore , i would ask all my colleagues to ensure that their interests are not outweigh the on the public . 
in these sectors , access to documents is not guaranteed and it is refused , not only to citizens , but the european parliament , which the other hand , is not even officially informed or consulted on the rights documents . 
there is an important one ray of bitterness . 
mr president , first i would like to thank mr cashman for the quality of work within the framework of the report . 
we are dealing with a very important report , which represents a major part of what we could call the new principle of transparency in the european union . 
( technical problem ) 
it is not only to promote the principle of access to all documents , but also to open the doors in the council meetings , so that it will not take in the future its decisions in the silence and the secrecy , which allows then for others to pursue the denigrate good market with regard to the brussels . 
i would like the work on the exceptions have been . 
our people see the europe as not as a democratic , where the decisions are to closed doors . 
pursuant to article 255 of the treaty , the proposed regulation should be adopted before 1 may 2001 , that is two years after the entry into force of the treaty of amsterdam . 
to now , i should like to certain problems which , at the moment , prevent the commission accept some of these amendments . 
as i have said earlier , we can , in some cases , to agree in principle , with the amendments , but we must work together on the technical and administrative , for example , in this regard the amendments classification of documents and the register . 
we do not have a written document and i would like , for the future , too , the commission diffuse members to in writing , its recommendations . 
welcome to 
we welcome the improved status granted to the watering down of the risks of credit , particularly the guarantees which can be offered by the small businesses . 
report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) by mr blokland on the joint text , approved by the conciliation committee , for a directive the european parliament and council on the incineration of waste [ c5-0371 / 2000 - 1998 / 0289 ( cod ) ] 
mr president , i ask the liberal group , and i also wonder in the quality of co-rapporteur , to be a more practical ? 
the vote be postponed to the november ii correspond to a given the common ppe-de and pse groups . 
i therefore propose to the vote on the report villiers to november ii . 
i have followed the next , which was transmitted by the service to the plenary and the european parliament was not to decided otherwise . 
as president of our sitting , today , i must tell you that , as colleague , i can tell you that i agree with you . 
also the negative position adopted during the first stage , when in the european parliament has denounced the dangers in britain and in the second stage , when the scandal raging in the united kingdom , measures have in fact been limited to this country , without that can be made a programme of direct strict controls and restructuring of the farming at european level . 
that is why we want draw four main lessons , which should be taken into account to the future . 
. we have voted in favour of this joint resolution . 
the increased number of cases of the variant of creutzfeldt-jakob disease in england and the situation in france have imposed on the agenda , with more force , the question of ' mad cow crisis . 
fear of sow panic the citizens , or , in order to prevent disasters of trade , some governments have not in good time the information due to the commission or have not done , at the first demonstration of dangerous phenomena , immediate deadlock in the consumption of products in question and the ban on their exports . 
farmers cannot cope with this crisis only : a to accompany the rearing is put in place and also measures to restoring consumer confidence . 
the inability of all the institutions ( council ) commission , parliament , to define a relevant community policy which meets the needs of security of the member states most directly concerned will indeed ask problems of hierarchy between constraints of the single market and the requirements of health and safety of our people . 
we have , after many discussions with the council , satisfaction on several points . 
the time landfill today concerns at the end , they must give flexibility in the technologies more beneficial to the environment . 
adapt to the process social bodies , particularly the representatives of sensitive groups covered by the programme ; 
indeed , if we should welcome the return of the growth and the reduction of unemployment , we must not forget the persistence and indeed the escalation of inequality , ! 
i am of the opinion that the rapporteur is right when he calls for greater involvement of local authorities , the social partners and civil society in the measures needed to overcome the poverty and social exclusion . 
the workers ' ' poor , the overwhelming majority of women , to part-time employees , the discounts and insecurity in the more the total , share the cohort of misery that the official speeches on the resumed ignore magnificently . 
three years ago , the prime minister has created the unity of social exclusion , which coordinates the action of the government to reduce the framing of social exclusion in identical solutions to problems of nature . 
it is for the moment of plants with more than 60 rotors which cover a surface equivalent to thousands of football grounds . 
the dependency , which is to approximately 50 % for the whole of the european union , risk to move to 60-70 % by 2020 in the absence of any development of renewable energy sources . 
it goes without saying that the exploitation of nuclear power and the storage of radioactive waste must meet the instructions of modern safety more and more effective . 
we must therefore find a source of energy already present in the nature , but which has been explored as long as there is no developed the technical for the european extract . 
the preparation of the asem 4 must be the opportunity to say that the democratic requirement on the one hand , and , of the information and the intervention of the democratically elected and civil society - particularly comprising the implementation of a european social forum , and the other hand , in taking fully into account the social rights , environmental and human beings . 
recently , this parliament has been the victim of some ambiguity and even some criticism of . 
we have noted that it is with the same misadventures that the european parliament in its infancy , that it had hard and continued to provide more of competences , more resources , more presence and to assert its representativeness . 
the parliament of central america , like the european parliament , must gain in prestige , credibility and legitimacy is based on the work of its political groups , because the lives of parties is , or at least , should be the reflects of companies that they represent . 
as far as that of the human rights , we support , since 1990 , the cooperation programmes in favour of respect for human rights by the through training and of the awareness in this area . 
( b5-0855 / 2000 ) by mr van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group ; 
the extreme confusion that has characterised the electoral context in recent weeks côte d ' ivoire , but up to economic model , is symptomatic of a country in crisis crisis , economic , social desperation and , as a policy chaos . 
the political leaders , military and religious make every effort to allow for a national reconciliation . 
it is in the debate on the ivoirité this debate , which fumeux what is the implementation of the national preference that we are fighting in our own countries , the logical and ultimate is the implementation of the ethnic cleansing , either totally fought , and removed or any reference connotation on the european côte ivoirité in the constitution . 
has also supported the revision of the constitution , intended to exclude the main opposition , watara , due to the fact that its parents are not all ivorian two . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , even if , in contrast to the other states of central and western africa , to the ivory coast was once a haven of stability and democracy , this has nevertheless for a long religious and ethnic tensions . it has also been abuse of power from the last government in office under president bédié , what has ultimately led a violent seizure of power by the military . 
we condemn the ethnic violence and above the policies which has led the demagoguery there . 
the next item is the joint debate on the motions for resolutions : 
the meeting to come between the eu and asean to laos , in december gives us the opportunity to demonstrate that we condemn with force this regime . 
i am , in fact , not sure that our own ministers services then the situation . 
the asean has been , in all senses of the word , a paper tiger in its failure to meet the terrible events in burma . 
the junta has said that it was the intention to try to reduce undermine the whole party . 
its past is responsible and , of course , the situation is difficult . 
these improvements slight - that is why certainly not to the author of the socialist group 's amendments , mr sakellariou , took place in recent years and have led to a situation which is certainly more tragic , but which is still disastrous and which is in any case not match up to the issues which are the vietnam of today . 
mr swoboda , the european parliament is a flexible and effective . 
it would be positive to the american president hanoi , not only focus on the strengthening of mutual cooperation , but the make precisely dependent on firm promises , from the vietnam , to improve the situation which radically wretched there in terms of the human rights . 
i would urge the council and the commission to protest against these infringements of the freedom of religion by the vietnamese authorities . 
similarly , the process has enabled the signature of a cooperation agreement between the commission and the vietnam in 1995 . 
the elements that we have submitted were included in course of this resolution . 
i agree with the fact that we have to help , but we aiderions even better in changing the situation that is the cause of their misery and that of countless other people in the world . 
the issues which concern is the medium and long term . 
mr president , commissioner , the floods in recent weeks various regions of the north of italy , and other countries - britain , spain , ireland and france - to ask two new problems in this parliament : that of the intervention of exceptional urgency for help in the case of the people , communities and the companies concerned , and that of a policy in the longer term , to prevent a repetition of disasters of this scale . 
this is the transport sector which require the more important , given its constant development - more 38 % , depending on the forecasts , in the next decade . 
the debate is closed . 
perhaps this is part of customs and of this parliament , but it is extremely difficult to believe that the european union is parliamentary institution of commitments something like that , envisages a mission to leave it to the european commission with such a weak participation . 
( parliament rejected the request ) 
the economic and social policy of the eu , which has led to the weakening of purchasing power and the opportunities for all workers in relation to the payment of contributions , to the emergence of new diseases and to the immunity of pharmaceutical companies , have caused a significant increase in expenditure of the health . 
for the rest , a very broad scope is open to insurers and private , only to the if they are not at the beginning selected ( ) the sick and insurance premiums for by pathology . 
that does and does not spend a lot of money is more . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am very pleased to be able to speak in the presence of a group of visitors from my constituency beautiful and i welcome that . 
this presupposes that the institutions have a sufficient time to prepare the new rules . 
the report a number of member growing consensus tend to stress the inability of the current legislation to take into account the developments of the financial sector in the last ten years . 
we say yes to a greater account in technologies to reduce the risk and we say yes to an extension of the basic principles developed by the basle committee . 
similarly , we look forward to the important contribution in this report to the whole process . 
finally , and it is a point of absolutely key , we are aware of the need to respect the institutional balance out in the treaty . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . 
before concluding , mr president , to take this opportunity to congratulate mr söderman , to congratulate him on the work he has done in the fight against maladministration and , therefore , for a better approximation of citizens in relation to the life of the community institutions . 
mr president , the european parliament has always said , in a very positive and in line with the tradition which is that of the public in the nordic countries , that it should strengthen and consolidate the position of the ombudsman . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . 
after all , access to the documentation is a fundamental civil law and no document is more important for a candidate that on its examinations . 
we legitimate was a candidate to have access to its copy corrected , because the access to documents is a fundamental right , recognised in the fact that the charter of fundamental rights that we have this week . 
and that is why this should go . 
the example to be followed by all the other institutions and , as the committee on petitions has recommended it . 
the citizens of the european union should have a positive impression when they are faced institutions of the community . 
the new and , in the circumstances , is to follow the best practices and to avoid anything that , according to our experience , affect its credibility in the member states . 
as to the other institutions , is to that depends on the possibility of adopting the procedures set out in this report or in the requests of the european ombudsman . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
they are prevented by a disaster inevitable , it is a lack of democracy and the other hand , if they do not give the trouble to come , they do not deserve to participate in the vote . 
the criteria of caution increased adopted are justified , but it must also consider other aspects of the issue , especially in the coefficient of solvency , which is a parameter of weighting by type of compensation which gives a fudging of credit risk real in the credit of a bank . 
provisional establishment of the european police college cep ( ) 
this police cooperation is fundamental to achieve the great objective to provide european citizens with a high level of safety within the union to the european area of freedom , security and justice . 
the enlargement of the european union , by extending the area of free movement of citizens , must be accompanied by measures of security and peaceful co-existence between the member states . 
according to what i see , conditions in the portuguese and french prisons are very different . 
so , if you common standards , you first of all define , otherwise you faced with a training which will be the most important aspects varied . 
but , thanks to mr posselt , it is anticipated that the training of staff police must understand also of the human rights and the protection of , as is currently very adapted the suggestion of a police college of virtual which exploiterait the possibilities of the internet . 
but we are here in strasbourg in a parliament , virtually deserted , to hear something of almost incredible . 
it is a good idea and in the european union , where the citizens of the freedom of movement and of trade and the right to settle , where the travellers of scotland can be in sicily or in greece , it is only logical to expect this to develop a common system to maintain the rule of law . 
the netherlands , the police is due to the dédramatisation of conflicts and to repressive , under which the existence of the european sous-cultures , of minorities , of the use of churches as refuges for the people without status of legal residence and the organisation of protests policies are regarded as normal social phenomena . 
those who believe in the right solutions to advocate must not be afraid of the confront with the solutions of others . 
i hope that this will college a starting point for the future . 
it is a good illustration of what is beginning to appoint today is under the guise of networks in europe , a europe which place the nations in direct contact , without talk of superstructures unnecessary . 
the majority of cases the abduction of children are treaties effectively and properly by the central authorities in all the member states . 
it is fill this gap for reasons of fairness , of realism in the light of the sociological and equality of rights and obligations of all the citizens of the european union . 
meanwhile , we support this measure and we are happy to vote in favour . 
because of our sympathy for the objective asked , we support the measures proposed . 
the visit of a day clearly for the people who are often the world to see a child . 
the position of the european parliament in this area , together with the case-law of the court of justice , confirm the commission 's approach . 
i know that the fifa has already played the clock and has waited too long before respond to the formal statement of the commission issued in 1998 . 
it is natural that the european union should be represented in the future of the european wada by the commissioner for sports . 
the decision to apply a kingdom tax to hauliers not british 
it is clear that the ireland is a very small market , but an open market . however , the greater part of what we buy just the united kingdom . 
in conclusion , this debate in parliament is premature , but i welcome the fact and commissioner vitorino 's statement which clearly indicates that the british government has the right to introduce a system of euro-vignette but to comply with the rules and regulations in force . 
mr president , the contributions and tolls are of course sensitive issues and i can confirm that in the case of austria where we are debating continually on this issue and constantly seeking solutions for a optimisation of traffic . 
this system is not discriminates against the drivers or hauliers of other european countries , the british drivers . 
this routier-là that pays more reason for its euro-toll , but there is a special payment solely on a basis . 
the 22 november , that is the same day the 25th anniversary of the crowning king juan carlos , which has opened the way to democracy in spain , a highlands of this just nuances of democracy , in turn , to pay his life faith in the freedom , in the tolerance and in respect of the other . 
you all the please therefore carefully . 
the position of the european union in these negotiations is focused on the protection of environmental integrity of the kyoto protocol in the areas of change in the use of soil and of the forestry , on the question of wells ' of absorption ' , on the link between the mechanism of kyoto and the action to the national level , known as the ' supplémentarité ' , and on the compliance . 
preparing for this new session , the eu should not reopen the debate on all the issues , but to focus on questions of priority , particularly on the mechanisms of wells ' of absorption ' , on the supplémentarité ' and ' on a system in conformity solid . 
mr prescott now is to affected in the event of line and we do not know how it will time to flow . 
finally , i think that is a good thing that the commission is remained firm on the question of the reduction of emissions , in particular because it is extremely difficult to accuracy the scale of reduction to aim . 
the nuclear energy has no chance to make a come-back . 
but we must go further , in bonn in may 2001 , by introducing conditions of equality . 
it should be to find a compromise in of the bonn conference which will take place in may 2001 . 
the challenge that we must , on climate change , is undoubtedly one of the most great challenges which we waiting for the twenty-first century , if we are all live in a world where the future . 
the same applies to the inclusion of partial of carbon sinks , such as the planting of additional forests . 
of the hague conference will continue , and as you have announced , commissioner , the next spring in bonn . 
madam president , thank you , commissioner wallström , for your speech . 
it is well this is an area where there was no disunity , is one of the relationship between the european parliament delegation and the commission . 
we cannot afford not to not to achieve agreement in the next meeting of the cop . 
we have been very constructive and have negotiated up to the last minute of conversations in the hague . 
you the floor , mr president-in-office of the council . 
on the coordination of social security systems , on the taxation , on the questions of asylum , visas and , of immigration on the trade negotiations in the area of services - very important subject , some countries are still serious problems . 
i would add that the seats in the european parliament has not been the subject of an agreement . 
reach an agreement which will allow the union to operate after of new accessions , all those who are preparing actively at this time , is a essential for the future of the european union and of the enlarged union . 
your president is course invited . 
it will be forwarded , and we hope that the course , ratified in nice . 
you see that the discussions will very dense in nice . 
in a union of 27 member states or the most , the requirement of unanimity will simply be to paralyse the progress in all area where it will remain . 
you raised the question of the european parliament . 
( applause ) 
this challenge is the reunification of our old continent . this challenge is an unprecedented enlargement in terms of scale and that is nice that we must prepare . 
madam president , the the most important objective of the nice summit is the enlargement of the european union and the preparation of the union for enlargement . 
madam president , mr president-in-office of the council , mr president of the commission , to date , we cannot say that the fifteen are covered in glory . 
this method is not good . 
proposals are now being presented with a view to that in the majority can be taken in 49 areas . 
majority decisions in the supprimeront the right of veto granted to parliamentary democracies of member states , but that will not in the eu parliamentary democracy . 
mr president , europe needs is about the fact that it , it has need of clarity , choice , of dynamism . 
the principle of the proclamation of blackmail we do not acceptable in terms of the conclusions of the european council in biarritz , even if it is informal . 
we think that the conclusions of nice will include a statement that the commission to produce a framework in this area . 
i shall on the treaty of nice when i have seen the results , but i am currently experiencing a experience a little schizophrenic hearing in the discussions of today . 
in amsterdam , they have been rejected , subject to the class and new have to nice . 
if the difference between large and small countries is too important to the council , is to be feared that the european union is involved , in a few years , a serious crisis of legitimacy , since the small countries will not feel at home and fear that they will no longer able to defend their identity . 
the french president and prime minister seem more concerned by their own future policy that the world of europe . 
the fact of not integrate the text in the treaty and not to accept that on the political could give rise to problems of interpretation legal . 
the other hand , i underlines the importance of providing our europe of strong institutions counterweight to a institutional void by speeding up the report which has taken place in economic terms with the euro . 
the proclaimed targets of this review is to create institutions which are now effective appropriate in an enlarged europe , and in the same time , to reduce the democratic deficit , which certainly , there . 
but it is also the restructuring of the 133 committee itself : the make much more responsible , by ensuring that the agenda and its conclusions are available and that its composition be broad and open . 
mr president , when i say that the difficult issues raised in nice will not go away if they are the subject to any agreement at the summit , i do not only addresses the president-in-office of the council but also to all the governments of member states . 
the operation of the codecision procedure in the last two years shows that this procedure works well . 
also say that , in the first time , it should be admitted that the field of trade policy be included in the extension of qualified majority . 
portion of seven years , it was forced to flee his country to the step of the red army , is drag in the ditches to avoid the fire of aircraft soviet . 
our colleague méndez de vigo just referred to the right to charter . 
we do not expect more from him . 
the agreement currently being precise day by day is not the lowest common denominator , it is unfortunately only a few tiny , a common denominator . 
mr president , i would like to thank the members because i think that this debate is a good one . 
it is therefore not at all of the proclaim not , this is not a problem of transparency . 
in fact , the system of rotation egalitarian as the large countries which , at a given time , could not to have a commissioner , as the other . 
i believe that parliament will be able to see that the european union is improved with the institutional mechanisms which should face up to the wake of the development of the european union which unites us all . 
the vote will take place tomorrow . 
mr president , i would also like to join the statement of mr van orden . 
i am totally opposed to this that it is a threat minister invited , albeit turkish . 
that is of course we must , in this house of the european democracy , to guarantee the security of all our guests and all of those who come under our roof . 
the minister of health , on the grounds that pellets are not harmful and under the slogan ' soignons the cancer by the marijuana ' , has undermined the dignity in asking the liberalization of drugs . 
it is to say the least bad way , not to say , a snub to parliament , and except that the members have nothing to say on the human rights , so that they have to vote on a very large majority of the charter of fundamental rights , they will absent from this forum of the european union , where the last year , they were many for dialogue with ngos and the institutions . 
as we have quite rightly said on this . 
in fact , the european parliament , as does the commission , that this was already before amsterdam , the european ideal would be a vice-president of the commission which endosserait the dual role of responsible for foreign policy and the high representative of accepting a responsibility and a special obligation to the council . 
as it did before the summit feira in adopting a resolution on 15 june , the european parliament should vote tomorrow , a text which summarises its position on the eve of the council in nice . 
the development of a policy of european security and defence is an important relaunch of the european project and therefore requires clarification of the existing institutional framework . 
in nice , the european council should approve several decisions , and i quote now . 
for the first debate , at the beginning of year , the commission will a scoreboard , country by country , for the budget year alone , which show the state of the disbursement of commitments , and the amounts in outstanding commitments for the main programmes financed by the community budget and the edf . 
we have also worked on the issue of regional cooperation , notion which anti-european some resistance from the countries of this region which do not want to be réenfermés in a past which they have , and i believe that , thanks to this summit , they have realised that there is no contradiction between a regional cooperation and their progress , their approximation to the european union , especially in the process of stabilisation and association which has been confirmed and made on this occasion . 
there was , before , a summit with the european india , under portuguese presidency and a ministerial meeting will take place with the asean 
this is not a reason for discouraged . 
i would like to variety : the humanitarian aid , evacuation of third-country nationals , of conflict prevention , but also separation the strength of the warring parties . 
it is based , of course , the autonomy of the decision of the european union and the recognition of voluntary and political commitments . 
it has personnifié more than anyone resolving conflicts in the world in a region that i know well and has received recognition of the world justified for his efforts . 
i find it quite extraordinary cover the which have been the creation of force in the country i know best . 
i would like to thank mrs lalumière to put forward in the report on the prevention of conflicts that the commission preparing in with the high representative to the european council in nice . 
thank you , mr commissioner patten . 
this is , in my view , the real test for the european union . 
citizens of forward are complaining that the bureaucratic machine of the european union to be a slow inconceivable . 
but the citizens , too , must have access to information and documents in a as far as possible . 
the current proposals maintain it remains unclear as to what should be this role . 
with a european flag on your car , you pop everywhere , and in the cinderella of refugee camps . 
that is why , mr president , europe must , in my view , be decide to act . 
if we europeans , we do not to play , regardless of the united states , influential in the solution to this conflict , it will not be to ensure that we gives confidence as ombudsmen in other european hotbeds of crisis . 
that said , your personal commitment not replace the democratic legitimacy of european policy in terms of security and defence . 
there are some mrs lalumière 's report that i cannot accept . during the final vote on tomorrow , i shall vote against the report . 
the non-exploitation of this vast range of instruments prevention of crises prove to long term and a mistake in this respect , the explanations of the council that has already adopted resolutions and things will run their course , is not enough . 
as you understand , we are voting against the two reports and we are committed to unite all our forces against the policy which they ... 
thirdly , as olaf palm was the suggested a day , we must create a corridor zone the baltic to the black sea . 
i should like to congratulate mrs lalumière on her report . 
the brok report also mentions the post of high representative for the cfsp . 
i regret the attitude of some of my colleagues , mr van orden and others - because i believe that counterparts from the other side of of the irish sea have much to make in this matter : the tradition , the experience and the practice . 
the european parliament , with the national parliaments , in our view of the most appropriate to this effect . 
i believe that the lessons of these events will when we accept the need to develop a european defence policy and to set up the capacity do , i think that is just as important a part of the european integration that is the the single currency . 
i also believe that the combination of these various resources is a property , is a possibility , specific to the european union and that the work that we have before us , if this policy progressing and consolidated , it is to develop a genuine european culture of prevention and treatment of conflicts . 
i believe that a positive dialogue will develop . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the resignation of the commission , in march 1999 , has revealed the need to reform its structures and its working methods . 
the reform , if it can be defined by the high , must be clear and vulnerable to unions , to all the staff , and that the whole staff is involved in all this . 
this provision will in time , but it is inevitable and essential for the reform . 
the reform of the commission . it is essential to the future of our institutions . 
on my report , i have study not only the white paper , but also the second report of the committee of independent experts and the resolution adopted by this parliament on 19 january , proposed by michiel van hulten , on the work that the committee of experts . 
the court of auditors ' report in its opinion that it is not opposed to the abolition of visa in advance , as the method is being replaced by other procedures which provide guarantees of , at least equivalent , and that different players of the previous financial can be involved . 
in all , the large organisations become more open , more transparent ; they resort to new forms of in the use of the information society ; they do not conventional forms of vertical organisation and provide for a exchange of information , both within that with the other organisations . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , in spite of its scope , the white paper presented by commissioner kinnock are not directly of institutional matter . 
we moreover , we have discussed here this afternoon in the debate on the common foreign policy . 
finally , we need to address the problem of the proposal to the retirement . 
the decentralisation of financial control in each dg is an important step but it will that if the staff is properly trained , if the resources available are adequate and if the responsibility of frameworks hierarchical is applied properly . 
we must give to the institution and its director and opportunities to to achieve the best possible management . 
as to the disciplinary procedure , we see here too many promises , but so far , no clear rule , any clear statement about the way these rules should be applied and the question of external is not definitively resolved . 
this processing is necessary to serve god of a fair and cannot be inspired by rules . 
as for any new situations which alters the established , it is clear that we should be aware . 
however , we withdraw the amendment 6 and asking for a split vote on the last part of amendment no 15 because we do not believe that in the system of the ecb corresponds to the situation . 
in my last mandate in this parliament , the president of the commission was jacques delors and he worked with commissioner brittan , and before him , the commissioner cockfield . 
mr president , commissioners , ladies and gentlemen , it is with a justified expectations that we alongside this reform . 
issues such as of the bse crisis , the outburst of oil prices and of the greenhouse effect is a strong european dimension . 
the public must also have the impression that the commission is really accessible and transparent . 
for the european parliament , reform is a crucial issue on which it can influence as the budgetary authority and legislative . 
it sets a number of clear procedures to an official , by various channels , complain of potential shortcomings in the european institution which the european employs or to in the outside world . 
therefore , i am sure we shall have the pleasure to listen to the future . 
mr president , i garriga polledo , you out of quickly that the categories of financial perspectives are maintained . 
the reform must be supported and accepted by the staff of the commission . 
we believe that a reform cosmetics at this time of change . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i would first like to highlight the quality of this own-initiative report by mrs sauquillo on the reform of the commission and its impact on the effectiveness of the european union 's relations with the union in developing countries . 
we want more responsibility . 
before speak of aid for projects , we must try to remove all the causes of exploitation , in seeking maintaining and to those who have benefited , which have abused of people who live in the need . 
it is precisely because that mr nielson is fair to this collegiate responsibility that he will no doubt proposal this evening . 
it seems even more serious than in the proposal of the commission , the separation territorial be maintained . 
in 2001 , for example , the financial responsibility will déconcentrées to 15 , 22 delegations additional delegations will be up to date installations their computer and 40 additional posts of officials are allocated to external services . 
maritime safety 
but the erika , as the ievoli sun , was not of french vessels . 
in fact , this is the summit on the agenda of the commission since the fatal shipwreck of the erika 11 months ago . 
we hope that the transport council of 21 december will make its contribution to the structure of the determination of the common institutions to really improve maritime safety , by adopting a position on the whole three texts . we expect it to be the case . 
i think that we have not , but we must ensure that this agreement will be applied . 
i understand and welcome the concern that there should minister as quickly as possible with these two reports , and so i judge has priori positive to present its proposal that we are debating this issue in december . 
all this has enabled us to draw up a parliamentary report on the amendment of directive which proposes improvements in the various aspects leading strengthening the system of classification , as medium and valid instrument to guarantee the safety of maritime traffic . 
however , the legacy of the years when waste were simply dumped is now up to our days , and sometimes comes back to haunt us , often with serious consequences . 
to this end , the publication of information is essential , because it is an vital for the public for the right to information , as is the among others , in the implementation telephone numbers of urgency . 
i have great faith in the second series of proposals and the creation of a european agency for maritime safety . 
your thinking seems respectable , but we can only negotiate on the results that have been examined the council . 
we know that the control of the port state great was not the case of maritime safety . we know that all of classification societies is not roman their technical control in a proper and serious , but of sloppy way . 
that should be the credibility that we seek to restore be threatened by bad actions on the part of the commission . 
which does not deal with these responsibilities must remain out of our waters and of our ports . 
the watts report tightens the measures against the vessels of serious risks or flags of convenience , without abolishing these flags . 
i am pleased that the proposals of the commission have taken the main requests made by the elected coastline : french ban on single-hulled tankers , strengthening controls in the ports , and assessment of classification societies . 
i also share his idea of a incentive to enforce the voyage data recorder in . 
guarantees of the seaworthiness of a ship require of important measures on the societies and responsible to the inspection , as has already been said . 
in short , the measures are permissive to bring the safety wanted . this is bad for the men . 
everyone talks about fully justified and i think that the 25 % today is for this control by the port state have still not achieved . 
this is not the time is more to mere compromise that some people would also like to predicting quite difficult to achieve . 
as to the classification of society , i would like to take this opportunity - it is also my task - stress one important factor : the central point of the seems to be on the responsibility . 
as to the port controls , we must make the regulation even more severe . 
the lax attitude of large companies is the sign that they are more important than the elected institutions . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the question about the safety of ships , and therefore the safety of people and the protection of the environment , is certainly a very serious . 
the reports which have been tabled in this direction . 
we are in agreement with the imposition of a threshold for the damage personal or the deaths and the material damage , leaving the member states the opportunity to meet these limits . 
the new technologies and improvements in the design of ships in this area play a role also . 
that we must move towards a consensus on the highest possible level of regulation and of maritime safety . 
i am pleased to announce that the commission will support to many amendments tabled in the context of these three reports . 
the commission can accept amendments nos 6 , 7 and 8 but that can partly accept amendment no 1 . 
the imo should formally adopt the timetable for decommissioning at its meeting in april of next year . 
the commission 's task is to confirm that the classification of society continues to fulfil the criteria of quality set by the directive and the commission also carries a follow-up performance of classification societies . 
the commission appreciates the support expressed in favour of the original . 
once again , to this accident demonstrates the urgent need to adopt measures community cooperation , of prevention and rehabilitation , for the protection of our seas . 
mr turco , i have heard your message and i will consider . 
that is in principle . positive as to the other two reports , i.e. the report on the classification and the report on port controls , there are points of view , the european parliament is that is the most rigorous approach on most issues . 
madam president , i would submit a proposal to change the amendment in this sense , to ensure that it begins with the words : ' urges in this respect , the council and the commission ' . 
report ( a5-0329 / 2000 ) by mr pomés ruiz , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , on the white paper on reform of the commission ( on the aspects which the committee on budgetary control ) ( com ( 2000 ) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / ( cos ) ) 
mckenna report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) 
the unaccountability of big is strengthened by the privatisation of classification societies , hands of the past , by the shipowners and that the absence of a real control on the part of national authorities , or by the complicity of them . 
that is why it is good that the rapporteurs watts vachetta , and piétrasanta tried to fill the gaps in still of the commission proposal . 
the responsibility in the implementation of these measures and based on the member states . 
the oil monocoque cannot continue to navigate here if , moreover , disappear after 2005 , 2010 or 2015 . 
however , mr hatzidakis makes proposals which restrict those of the commission . 
the promotion of more stringent regulation at international level must remain a fundamental objective of our maritime safety policy . 
it is particularly important to emphasise that the principle which is to pay the polluter must be fully applied . 
this community action must be coupled with an reactivation of the imo , with a real power of police to apply the ism code , would be an effective instrument , to the image of europol . 
as the costs of violation of rules will below those in respect of these , the companies want to reach a maximum benefit will continue to be the wrong choice . 
preparation of the council nice 
instead of drawing of the human rights and social rights to the high , the charter facilitate the operations in order to draw the board . 
unfortunately , this concept seems to me to present proposals for a resolution . 
if , as much , i sometimes have regretted that the prime minister , lionel jospin , is little expressed during this six-month ' because of coexistence ' , i know the strong impetus he has given constantly on its ministers and i should like to say . 
the social field , the proposals are very timid and is not the content of more effective commitments at the lisbon summit , particularly on the need to strengthen the economic and social cohesion . 
that is why no decision on the development of the eu should be taken if it the risk of alienating the citizens of europe . 
the british want to see a reform that makes europe more responsible and effective . 
this text takes pretext of future ( more and more distant ) enlargement to ask the strengthening of a system already on its way out . 
now , the ignite not being burned only between big business and the small countries , it burned also between the large countries . 
. ( sv ) we believe welcome this report , which refers to many trends essential for the development of the common foreign and security policy , and we support it . 
every year , this report ritual of parliament , which in principle annual assessment of the cfsp , is in fact the method of landslides gradual well known that is , as a result of breach of federalist nature , achieved in a given area , continually to seek to extend the european contempt of the treaties , as the decisions of the european councils . 
in prattling with me , it has heard that it is in the process of organising a military force of the states of europe , a force ready to intervene to keep the peace in europe and its woods . 
the other hand , it is not the european parliament to define the capacity should have a european rapid reaction force and if , in this respect , the scope of must be sea and air . 
the conflicts which arise in the future will not be resolved by military intervention , but by means of a policy to the social justice , economic and ecological . 
we are radically opposed to this european army , as of nato and our own national army . 
the wording , for example , on the cfsp and nato , the seem go too far , where there is the use of ' threat to the use of force ' as a means of exerting pressure in the actions of conflict prevention , that this directly contrary to the united nations charter . 
ten years after the upheavals which have shaken the countries of europe , is the european project ' peace ' speak of these reports which we believe that a bad signal to the candidate countries . 
only six of these paragraphs contain parts of addressing the subject . 
unfortunately , one of clear objectives is to overstep the national laws on abortion or even to condemn or to remove the religious traditions opposed to the abortion . 
if they were in informed , tens of thousands of women capita concerned the european union would probably be happy to hear that we have before us today a regulation on the work at home in the informal economy . 
mrs smet proposes that particularly the fact that there is a definition of european domestic work . 
the needs in domestic work should be taken into account in the drafting of legislation relating to the employment . 
they have paid their pension contributions of the various governments , which have been the inextricably disappear as a means of motorcycling prestidigitateurs . 
finally , the group union for europe of nations emphasises that the citizens of the european union expect more than ever for the reform measures and people to be translated into account the diversity of the opinions of convictions and which is expressed in our countries . 
as to the resources , the merits of agents and greater transparency in the area of staff policy in general must become the points of the new administrative reform . 
on the occasion of this explanation of vote , i should like to stress and the fact that parliament has unfortunately not all the powers that it should be . 
i should like to under point of order . 
in fact , mr barón crespo , the new are contradictory . 
this is not a wish the socialist group . 
this is why we are in difficulty : this is an important summit and everything we say and we will . 
i must point out that the commission is to meet tomorrow afternoon , above all , to try to understand the conclusions of the intergovernmental conference . 
( parliament agreed to the proposal ) 
i would be grateful if you welcome this request . 
and i would like to condemn the is that a few days ago , one of the who maintain a hunger strike to support the prisoners to was murdered in rotterdam by a squad of ' grey wolves ' . 
this is clearly not been unnecessary if the council had in june last more attention - or its attention , quite simply - to our recommendation for the first reading and the amended proposal of the european commission , which abondait in our view . 
thirdly , we must decide whether the measures that we are actually help to improve the functioning of the market and if they are proportional to the objective . 
the second concern , of legal nature itself , we have with incentive to make more closely the interdependence between harmonisation of the internal market and the protection of health , in accordance scrupulously arising from the indications statement on the basis of which the court of justice has recently annulled directive on the advertising ; only a reading one-sided of these motives may lead to the conclusion that these two aspects are incompatible . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen 80 case of fatal to the new variant of creutzfeldt-jakob disease in europe and the european union , its council of ministers , the commission , parliament decide to prohibit the meal and the non-entrée of horse aged over 30 months in the food chain without prior test . 
we believe that it is natural that article 95 is the basis of this directive , with the article 133 , that of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy proposes now in the amendment 1 . 
the court , a total ban on the advertising of tobacco is justified on behalf of the operation of the internal market . 
as to the information such as ' to ' and ' low tar , mild ' and ' light ' , i think it is misleading and i am therefore opposed to amendments nos 10 and 30 . 
i also want to address requirement in the treaties . 
the rapporteur , mr maaten has proposed , with good sense , to strengthen the legal basis with a reference to another , namely article 133 on trade , and also proposed a series of changes to certain articles to prevent that this directive is contested in the light of the case-law established by the judgment of the court of justice . 
i regret that in the committee on legal affairs and the internal market , some have position in that rejection of the court of justice of the ban the advertising of tobacco products dashes in some way this directive . 
in fact , as a member of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , i have had the drawn attention firmly by various groups pressure on the need to regulate more strictly the presentation and sale of tobacco products in europe . 
however , that is the straw , i do in this directive no provision to ban the culture of tobacco in the community - that even in countries such as greece , the cultivated tobacco is so strong that under this directive , it would criminal and to use it to the production . 
it should also like to thank mr byrne for the clarity with which he has made the legal basis . 
more of half a million people die each year in the european union consequences of smoking , and this is doomed to increase if we do not take action now . 
in my opinion , this legal basis is not at all , not that is why it is right that the unions , the companies and that my colleagues argue about the loss of jobs . 
i would like to see the option of warning by the photographs , the clauses on the advertising of lists of ingredients , the research at european level , the measures to promote health to help the children not to smoking and not to be dependent of tobacco , of tar , nicotine and of the . 
this willingness to compromise was also present in of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . 
my reading of the amendment , the waiver would apply to the article 3 , that is to tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide . 
but given the nature of the general directive , we do not separate the to one another , and we must therefore have to severity everywhere . 
the creation of warnings to a maximum size for some major packages would a balanced solution . 
finally , the total 54 amendments have been submitted in the report , and i have the pleasure of informing you that the commission can accept 33 , either totally or partially . 
the main argument in favour of these amendments and to a report at the end of a period of five years is in reality the enlargement of the european union , which , in the wake of the nice summit , is particularly relevant and appropriate . 
the time of been seems to final go hand in hand with an increased quality of life , the positive effects of period of the time of been triumphing over the largely on the unrest passengers even linked to change . 
the time of been is not the bone of contention is important for our common remains , the european union . 
a single control by the commission after five years is sufficient . 
we must also take into account the requirements are the producers of computers and of inviolable electronic , and that of timetables and to agendas . 
madam president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the medical research , necessary for patients , must be approved way of unbureaucratic and , by making to respect ethical limits and protecting for the participants in a clinical trial against the abuse . 
it is an important distinction that we in our report . 
thus , even if some points of disagreement with the council remain , i would remind you that the result that we are to achieve the adoption of this directive , is the result of a long and fruitful work of compromise done by mr liese , our rapporteur , to thank and congratulate her on participative approach and constructive by the council which is the cooperative and open the amendments which the commission on the environment has adopted at second reading . 
i am thinking in particular research in the framework of the fight against cancer , but there are many others . 
unfortunately , despite the measures taken in this area , of new threats and new diseases are day and often , the existing medicines is not enough to face . falls to the community medical look for ways of modern and more effective to respond to these challenges . 
the vote will take place tomorrow at 12.30 p.m . 
what was agreed with the council and the commission and , naturally , the commission of the european parliament 's , for not of second reading and to continue without set-backs these programmes in avoiding all discrepancy , is to extend two years to the four programmes , as called for by the commission , but to allocate appropriations by the year so that , if in the meantime , the new programme on health is adopted and comes into force , the extension and the use of appropriations for the second year are not needed . 
as a general rule , it is high time that the member states to agree to allow the european union , and on a question legitimately supranational , more room for manoeuvre and a budget : the other diseases , therefore , they do not know the borders . 
the international organisations such as europol believe that the import of drugs in the european union are in fact increase . 
the public health is national policy and must remain the . 
the next item is the debate on the report ( a5-0355 / 2000 ) by mrs cerdeira morterero , on behalf of the committee on citizens ' freedoms and rights of citizens , the justice and home affairs , on the initiative of the portuguese republic to the adoption of a framework decision on the status of victims in the criminal procedures ( 9650 / 2000 - c5-0392 / 2000 - 2000 / 0811 ( cns ) ) . 
a different international initiative is the un declaration on the principles of justice on the victims of crime and the victims of abuse of power , adopted in accordance with the resolution 40 / 34 of the general assembly , the united nations 29 november 1985 . 
you may remember the debate on the di pietro report which have taken some time ago in this house . 
this initiative is three fundamental aspects : the right of victim to the information , access to the justice and the right to compensation for the damage . 
is the most significant is , in my opinion , the fact that the finally being taken , awareness of the european union also , the need to change the point of view which we consider the intervention of the european state with the offences . 
the member states should be forced to police units for special for the victims of crime . 
italy has asked several times the extradition of this man , who has committed murder , to the various countries , where lojacono freely , and this so that it can finally serve its death . 
in terms of crime , the victim must always be placed at the centre of . 
as you have seen , the draft framework contains three different types of measures : first of all , it minimum rules for the rights of victims , secondly , it specific rules for the purpose of which is to take account of the situation of individual victims of crime in a member state which is not the state of origin ; thirdly , it encourages member for measures to support the victims . 
it is already to support the establishment network services at european level of national aid to the victims , to ensure a proper the victims , particularly to those who lie not in the country where the offence took place . 
approval of the minutes of the previous sitting 
mr varela , president of the committee responsible fisheries , on the substance , has the floor again . 
well bravo ! 
in the trialogue of last tuesday , we have made a last adjustment to the joint declaration of the council and parliament . 
we have to a solution for the 2001 budget . 
we need an internal debate on the way in which , in the area of policy to promote , we transform the requirements in a transparent procedure . 
we have asked the name of this island and we have replied : " it is the spotters ' . 
the council has therefore at its second reading of the budget account agreements with the european parliament delegation , with the constant voting on a budget to finance all the priorities of the european union and corresponding to real needs and the ability to real implementation of the appropriations . 
the third important element of this second reading by the council is the agreement on the leonardo programme ' the spirit of enterprise ' which is comprehensive and the ' employment ' initiative for the years 2001 and 2005 . 
more generally , i would stress that the budgetary procedure which is due to expire in a few days has shown the whole point of the interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 . 
the discussions sometimes tough , but they were always relevant and based on permanent exchanges , which have been better to understand each other and , therefore , to find more easily agreement , i hope that satisfactory to all . 
it is important that no country in the balkans cannot receive now , because of the democratisation in serbia - least of aid that what was before the recent events in that country . 
in fact , the use repeated , two years on , and of the flexibility instrument to be considered , to wrong in my opinion , as a form of the financial perspectives . 
the council has said today that it is prepared to increase the payments of 3.5 % . 
i wish to thank the council and the commission for this decision . 
mr president , i would also like to thank mrs haug , for the excellent work she has done . 
i have the impression that , for the simply , the flexibility , it is for the small amounts and the revision , for the amounts , but we see these years how it will . 
we are now in a situation to decide whether or not we can approve the budget next thursday . we must therefore course examine this budget of almost . 
but the agreements between the three institutions are also a very important . they should give us a security policy in terms of planning . 
the problems are refer in particular to unemployment , of the bse crisis and the stability pact in the balkans . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , the european parliament , i am very pleased to be here today to give you the results of the french presidency of the european union and also to measure the progress made in recent months . 
we have promised : there is not of remnant of nice . 
it concerns the procedure of cooperation which has been widely facilitated in the first and third pillars . 
it is both a huge challenge and also a historic step towards the reunite our continent . 
with this charter our union , is better assured of values of dignity , freedom and solidarity of which the founded . 
and a few weeks ago , it is the tanker , ievolu sun , which is abîmait of islands . 
we set ourselves the objectives , they have been achieved . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , the european parliament , this presidency , i feel able to say today , has seen to be strengthened our union is preparing to welcome new member states to meet the family , now that we insured to work together to strengthen , also in the heart of our citizens on the ground of values , the issue of of the growth and employment , the principle of solidarity , of safety and the preservation of the european social model ; to strengthen and gain hearing on the international stage . 
( applause ) 
it is inevitable account of the approach followed , but the result is all the more disappointing : on the one hand , because it leads to the majority more difficult to achieve , therefore , the blocking easier , while the logic should have the opposite true in a union is broadening ; 
( applause ) 
in the same time , the declaration on enlargement , which is positive - that the candidate countries to accede to the european union at the end of the year 2002 , and the governments of the countries currently negotiating have applauded nice . however , we must take into account : one thing that is when a child is invite their friends to a anniversary and that it does not know if it is enough to place home and there is one of the money for the sample . 
the ambition of nice was the most important ambition of european a summit for many years . 
madam president , mr president of the republic , mr president of the commission , ladies and gentlemen , the judgment of my group is stringent for the fifteen on the day spectacle little undertaking that they have offered the europeans , probably disbelief to measure this opportunity to direct and in that it is really vision of the common position , the spirit of solidarity , of the trust of the main leaders . 
for all spirit lucid , they are glimmers of very serious consequences which we led to the draft federal europe to 27 or 28 member states . 
i would also like , mr president , i would like to stress that after nice , the france is once again as singularly loser . 
madam president , mr president , the group of the europe of democracies and diversities regret that the presidency is not given the message which was addressed in july last . 
much is still not with the finishing line to which the european union must bring the . 
there is also a limit which must be appreciated . 
i believe that they are not only the view of these three groups , but also the other groups , which have not been able to sign the reasons for technical . 
it is desirable to promote the development of medicines in the community because it is possible to give patients of increased opportunities to benefit from treatment productive . 
i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball of his first report to the european parliament . 
to our great surprise , mr fatuzzo has the floor , and i look forward to what pensioner has met and that it has said . 
the victim must be treated as person to face a situation of disorientation and in distress , factors which are probably even more difficult if the person is victim in another member state that the job . 
the next item is the continuation of the joint debate on : 
it has been desperate to focus the debate on the question of which a vote of more or less of a vote , which gain the reunification of germany or of france , of the netherlands or belgium , portugal or the case of spain . 
we welcome the fact that a new method is put in place , and we hope that behind this hope , which is written with the possibility of cooperation , europe will continue to progress , they will be able to develop tomorrow for a constitution which gives to our citizens in the hope that this great project that is the europe . 
the future member states who are preparing for accession to the follow the example of the given by the member states . 
there is welcome in more than others , but the basis of message is clear : europe can now be met in a democratic european union and enlarged , which will , the treaty of nice , the citizens . 
the interests dominate . 
by providing a eleventh agreement on the treaty , we avoided a crisis which would open re-emphasised the enlargement in question , but we can speak of a crisis latent that need to be resolved . 
i do not believe that it is more realistic to defend reaffirm its own national prestige and the efficient functioning of the european union and i do not believe that the citizens are mobilised in mass to monitor the actions of filibustering conducted in nice in their power . 
and what a project in any event , eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall . 
at the time , they had do the same for half of europe , and now we must do this for the whole of europe . 
the obstacle institutional will not be invoked after nice . 
firstly , the institutional imbalance : much for the council and little to the commission and parliament . 
this method has its time . 
the consequences for europe would have been absolutely incalculable . 
for example , you know that at the beginning of the european union , the blocking minority could meet what is called ' two major countries ' , and today it has to be three . 
the milestones are made , enlargement is possible , the european parliament will place in the debate , in the deepening of paths and of ideas . 
the public good european , which nobody is repository - mr moscovici is right on this point - cannot be based on the sum of the national interests which meet and is neutralise and in this sense , the prime minister verhofstadt , has been a message salutary to this . 
we recommended their ratification . 
personally , i believe that the re-weighting of votes must take account of the population , like the european parliament , and would have been done in the council also . 
but nice , mr president , is not the way to go , but the point of departure for a new stage involving many challenges . 
i would like to what has already been mentioned several times here today . 
is it seems that we were able to avoid the paralysis of the future enlarged european union , the ambitions of the french presidency have not been able to be reflected in the new draft treaty . 
as far as i , mr president , i would simply that nice deserves mention the inadequate . 
i do not know if the commission will respond to the end of this debate , but i wonder , in the absence of the council , if the commission is also quite sure that in 2004 , the members of parliament will czechs , hungary and poland and members of the baltic . 
we have not concealed the need to continue , with the same force and the same determination that we before nice , on the road to enlargement to achieve our goal , namely to the most rendezvous with european history that the commission and parliament have for the coming years . 
on the other hand , and above all , the problem of funding balkans remains for the coming years . 
i wanted to congratulate the rapporteurs , the president of the committee on budgets , the commission , the council and the presidency for the work that has been done , for the conclusion of this agreement which we will vote for the budget of the year 2001 . 
it is also good that the additional resources have been made available the small and medium-sized enterprises , which are the main employers . 
in football , tantamount to a european match nil . 
precisely because we have a budget and that we have reached agreement in the conciliation , should not delude ourselves that all our problems have been settled . 
this is not importance of nowhere treaties but of course , that the council has sometimes difficult for the recognise . 
these rules must be accompanied by a commitment to the college of commissioners to a fair and effective human and material resources for the management of different policies , that is the political priority parliament and the priority management of the commission must coincide . 
it is a task of the europe that is to contribute to the safety and regeneration of the environment . 
it is much the question of post-nice . 
you have reason to always return to this question . 
there is more of fear of a military attack or of a european expansion possible for a dictatorial regime . 
it now emerges well , is that russia is , in the budget , considerably on the same terms as morocco , or a few more high , and i do not think that is normal . 
it is very dangerous that the european become dependent on russia 's plan logistics . 
and as a tacis programme is that a very limited in this context , not to say that it is only a drop in the ocean . 
the birth reduction , the mortality irretrievable loss and increasing the number of people is of a million people per year . 
mr putin himself , we would less well that mr putin , said that the question of the future of chechnya is not the main question . 
that become the russia , its people , its their society , is indifferent . 
mr president , the european union has approved these years several documents which concern the russia and which are a good basis for closer relations with the republic of russia . 
and then , that means the freedom for the chechen people ? 
it is in a second time to respect the law . the economic progress contributing to also take this stabilisation , the fourth stage is to see the characteristics of society . 
but it is an excellent report which , as the common strategy itself , underlines the importance we attach to relations - the strategic partnership - between the european union and russia . 
this means that we must concentrate our efforts on the key areas such as the environment - several members have mentioned - , nuclear safety , the enclave of kaliningrad itself and the improvement of coordination between the different financial resources . 
we must avoid the mistake that a member is mentioned earlier , that was made beginning of the last century , when the russia was excluded from affairs after the revolution léniniste of 1917 . we know that the consequences will be disastrous . 
as you know , the council has adopted a common position on the revision of directive 90 / 220 this . 
i therefore believe that it is this side of that you find the questions that you raised . 
therefore , i am ready to propose that this debate is taking place : simply , we need to choose the most important adapted . 
i do not have to introduce an information precise enough for me to reply to your supplementary question . 
it cannot be said that there is not of precise information on this subject . 
the council would like to remind the honourable member conclusions that he has adopted at its meeting of 19 may 1998 in terms of fraud in the sectors of the alcohol and tobacco . 
all the member states have confirmed their desire to step up the fight against fraud , both within that in their relations . 
the european union has stated on several occasions the absolute respect that it is attaches to the right of asylum . 
in this respect , the partnership agreement of acp-communauté union signed cotonou in june 2000 provides that the community will at the latest by 2005 access to the frankness rights for most of the products from the ldcs . 
i remind you that the presidency is not to express the views of this or that , that it is not of this or that government , but rather to express that are , at a time ' x ' , ' a moment t ' , the council 's positions . 
a system of achat-destruction be put in place for these cattle tested , not to the compensate farmers the world market price . 
the french presidency , from the beginning , has been concern as to allow a european answer to this crisis which is a food crisis , a crisis of society and a health crisis . 
in the framework of the barcelona process , algeria has agreed to a number of principles which the respect of the rule of law . 
- i have already had the opportunity , a few weeks ago , to present a few thoughts on the preparation of the special session of the united nations general assembly on the follow-up to the world summit on children who will take place in september 2001 . 
subject : the obligations of turkey in the framework of the partnership agreement with the european union in terms of the proposal to the commission 's proposal of the partnership between the european union and turkey , the council is called upon to re-examine the situation of disputes outstanding , in connection with the consequences for the process of accession , in particular , the aim of promoting their solution by means of the international court of justice , for the end of the year 2004 at the latest . 
the council , in the partnership , which we speak to us , will address this issue with the turkish government ? 
respect the rights of defence , and the recognition imprison there ? 
furthermore , it is for each member state to take the decision sovereign national , to initiate or not the national troops in the operation . 
subject : the importance of tax for the internal market president of the commission , mr prodi , has recently assured in an article november 's financial times that it does not wish to tax harmonisation or the rates of taxation common in the european union to say that the rates of tax ' is the national parliaments and must remain the ' . 
questions nos 23 to 32 will receive written answers . 
on the stabilisation and association process of the european union and the republic of croatia at an opportune moment . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i begin by congratulating mr baltasmrs for his report , particularly for the speed with which he has produced this report . it was important to react quickly on the changes in croatia , mrs stenzel just speak to us . 
the developments in this area is particularly valuable . 
in 199192 , more than 250 000 croats have been driven out of krajina , of slavonia of western and eastern slavonia . 
no doubt that this year is of a milestone for the countries of south-eastern europe . 
i do not think that is the talk of meagre sheet on a year . 
it is to be an important point and we can , i hope that the count on your support when we will consult you formally once the agreement negotiated . 
the reactions opposition to the wahid government are many and the process seems stagnate . 
heads of papuans are still imprisoned too . 
we also call on the european commission to follow this approach . 
the terms of the commission 's communication of which dates from the beginning of next year are therefore justified , even if they were characterised by a certain euphoria arising certainly of these changes . 
the justice that is not made and in the refugee camps is eternally are areas of confrontation between the old and new powers in indonesia , they demonstrate the fragility of the process of democratization . 
the situation the most worrying is the moluccas , where the jihad fighters of enjoy a margin of manoeuvre unacceptable . 
the european irian jaya is also the victim of migration policy . 
but we must choose the priorities , we cannot interfere the environmental , social , economic with the greatest problem of democracy and respect of the human rights , which must be a clear political priority of our relations with indonesia . 
this resolution of the categorical way that the european irian jaya is part of the indonesia . 
the situation has certainly improved and we must encourage president wahid , but of very serious problems . 
it is unacceptable that tens of thousands of refugees are hostages people at the mercy of bandits armed , under the guise of indonesian patriotism , are trying to get away with not pay for their criminal past . 
it due to its size , which is the fourth countries of the world 's population . it because of its economic dimension , due to its role in the region and , finally , because of its environmental impact . 
this is the reason why we should use the resources and instruments policemen , administrative and penal both between the member states and the level of the eu . 
( the president cut the speaker off ) 
mrs schreyer , you several times here that , as the commissioner for combating fraud , you consider that it was to your duty to ensure the independence of olaf . 
that is the establishment of a financial administration at european level which creates the problems seen the bad design models of the distribution of european taxpayers ' money in the so-called " community ; the rest , these models are , in many cases , no desired . 
i would like to congratulate the rapporteur , one that i appreciate that i admire and much as an individual and policy , for his report . unfortunately , i am unable to do . 
the report is on the protection of the community 's financial interests and the way in which we get this issue . these are the main points . 
the lack of time , i should like to brief presentation of these points . 
the debate is closed . 
there is a european legislation to protect the businesses against the effects of such a bad management and the commission are now committed to set up its own regulations to ensure the speed of payments . 
we have other mechanisms at our disposal to reveal the great day cases of fraud previous agreements which were far unnoticed . 
mrs schreyer , you quote from the council that we need a member state is opposed to the creation of a european prosecutor . 
also , i think that a very sensible in symbol of the court of auditors that can be expected of these reports . 
neither the commission nor the member states will no longer to shirk their responsibility and in particular have the reject each . 
it is said in all honesty , regretting that it be . 
the involvement of the commission and the court of auditors in the drafting of this report has been a very useful , and i believe very deliberate on your part . 
you can see to my speech i think it is interesting to deepen the debate on these proposals to see how strengthen the responsibilities in this area . 
the first important lack of this text is the lack of harmonisation . 
i therefore think that the article 4 must also be improved . 
in the single market , the investors , that it is of private investors , of companies or of pension fund , should be able to exercise their shareholders prerogatives of the benefit of societies in which they invest and for themselves . 
we cannot close our eyes to the fact that a acquisition of actions is of restructuring the staff , redundancies , etc . 
that said , what effect is a risk that the amendments we are tabling as parliament ? 
what should be the dominant concern to the legislation governing the acquisitions ? that the principle on which we diviserons perhaps tomorrow . 
it should however be easier to resolve the question of what is the authority responsible for supervision . 
the rapporteur 's amendments generate a confusion on disputes , and we cannot vote in favour of the confusion as to potential disputes . 
one thing i want the directive on the to takeover bids is power , the defend very strongly to the millions of people of my country and the millions of people who have of retirement and economies of based on investment in stock . 
this procedure , which already exists in other member states , of course in the area to takeover bids , but it is even more and could be studied in greater detail in the general review of company law proposed by the commission . 
finally i would remind you that this is a framework , in accordance hope that this parliament has expressed earlier . 
the resale right is the right incessible and inalienable of artists to receive a part of revenue from the resale of their works . 
there is firstly the british lobbyists who fear the disappearance of jobs . 
the compromise adopted by the council is therefore a little more than reflection of the initial proposal of the commission , broadly supported by the european parliament at first reading . 
i also count on the support of the commission , at least one of the three major points of dispute . 
it is also of the vitality and the competitiveness of the market of the european art . 
in another case , the picture was certainly also sold in america , for example . 
this amendment is not acceptable in part . 
competition of postal services 
it is my proposal , mr savary . 
firstly : we need to obtain a reasonable price for the postal services . secondly , we need to ensure high standards of quality for these services and thirdly , to ensure the provision of a postal service generalised everywhere in the european union . 
the legal affairs committee was more stringent in the age limit for the price of the reserved services provider of universal service , but its proposal concerning the limit weight to 150 grammes is the same and it rejects the limit of 50 grammes provided by the proposal for a directive . 
finally , we cannot accept a new date of liberalisation as there is no will be no beforehand . 
you know how the matter is complicated ; it provides for brakes ideological , sometimes put on both sides . 
even if some in this parliament are will be able to approve these proposals , it is that they have had a devastating effect on the postal services of the european union . 
these proposals also lead to the closure of small post offices in areas , which the survival of postal services . 
if we continue to this rate , we must close to a century to meet the opening of postal services in europe . 
madam president , i would like to make three comments . 
looking at this new directive , we must be clear on one specific point . 
it is not , and that it should be . 
in a situation of competition , the monopolists can demonstrate that they understand their area . 
but if grandmother delighted to receive a factor englishmen , which is also the requirements of a postal service of quality , this should not collapsing on the contrary , we welcome . 
if those which are badly prepared in a negotiation , those who are not asked for the report on the 1997 consequences , those who argue on a ideological - we cannot achieve the aims precisely by you that if we ' , ' , ' , should not be surprised if fall on the nose ! 
mr bolkestein , the commission is guardian of the treaties . 
in other words , it is as if the european calculait the average income of billionaire and of the european lacking , that this may give a figure satisfactory but cannot be regarded as socially acceptable , obviously due to the existence of the mediocre . 
the times have changed , mr simpson . 
the governments which are at the origin was not socialists but conservatives or liberal . 
that the proposal was presented by the commission , i immediately known that it would never be accepted in its original form . 
if we are all in agreement on the principle of openness and liberalisation , it is not that the pace is important . 
the effects of the first directive is not made public because the consequences are obvious : to job losses and degradation of working conditions , inequality functioning of the public service on the whole territory , particularly in the countryside and working-class areas . 
of the commission proposal provides a gradual opening of this sector and , in my opinion , lead to an improvement of these services and more competitive prices . 
it is vital for the development of direct marketing . 
i appeal to the british conservatives directly . 
i would like to say to year post : if this compromise is accepted , you of what a little blow . 
we do not have can only hope that one day we know exceed the situations acquired and overcome the corporatism selfish to really take europe forward . 
only 3 % of the market correspondence has been liberalised . 
it will overtaken by the technology and boudé by consumers who believe that they have not for their money . 
to help them , it is essential to establish a real competition , of a gradual and controlled , associated with a timetable predetermined . 
on the amendments nos 60 and 61 , i support the principle of the internal market at a later date , in order to establish a reasonable period . 
the commission explain the same opinion and the council will proposal on the commission as look good him . 
however , the european parliament to give its opinion . 
my second report is much the first and includes the amendments by the house . 
it is true , mr commissioner , that we have some reservations and objections . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur , mr dary , which we have clearly commented on the reform , its history and its synthesis - that i shall not repeat . 
it is in a number of regions of the community , outermost regions , trapped in a series of difficulties to be competitive on the markets and which is one of the few products is the bananas . 
this organisation deters rather the chaos in the extent that it is trying to set of rules which we are all . 
there is no exaggeration to say that it is those who have caused the greatest attention of all the institutions . 
we have to continue to complex without these producers to the means to live in buying priority in their production . 
mr president , the rapporteur deserves thanks and sympathy for the have handled this difficult report . 
i would also like to thank the presidents of the political groups in parliament which have adopted the persistence and obstinacy of the members of outlying regions to that this proposal for reform of the banana sector is before us today in this house , so that we have our opinion compulsory and be prepared for the council of ministers of agriculture , which will be open and the year 2001 with a new reform of the com for bananas . 
there has been a lot of the so-called unanimously in favour of the committee on agriculture and rural development on the report of mr dary . 
ladies and gentlemen , i have the honour to inform you of the presence among us a delegation of the european parliament korean in the official gallery . 
this support which led to the council a positive decision for media . 
report ( a5-0377 / 2000 ) by mr trakatellis , on behalf of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , on the proposal for a decision of parliament and the council extending some programmes of community action in the field of health decisions adopted by the 645 / 96 / ec , 646 / 96 / ec , 647 / 96 / ec , 102 / 97 , this 400 / 97 and this 1296 / 1999 / amending this and these decisions ( com ( 2000 ) 448 - c5-0400 / 2000 - 2000 / 0192 ( cod ) ) 
mr president , i would simply like to take this opportunity to say , referring to the commissioner this evening explanations to 00.05 , that amendment no 1 commits the commission . 
( parliament accepted the oral amendment ) 
amendment no 2 : 
the parliament had a duty to go back and to restore the greater part of these amendments , with regard to the size of the warning , the inclusion of ingredients , the protection of consumers and particularly young people . 
there , for some members , two categories of people : that is the protects and that there is a danger for economic reasons ? 
i would particularly like to explain why i voted against the ban on the export of tobacco products beyond a certain level of of tar / nicotine from the eu and supported the amendments which aimed to increase this limit . 
madam president , i would agree with the radical proposal use of pictures to illustrate the damage which cigarette can cause to health , as is the case canada . 
i think that is positive , even if i - and i would like to take this opportunity to say that there are more expenditure for the prevention of diseases . 
i would have preferred that this provision will result in a regulation , which would be better to an issue for citizens of the european union . 
the amendments that mr zimmerling has proposed will a fatal blow to the vitality of the european art , with the loss of jobs and , i fear , very little to living artists to benefit from this right of resale . 
. ( nl ) it is like to thank mr zimmerling for the work he has put into this difficult . 
i am therefore in the obliged to vote against this directive . 
and of the stabilisation and association , the cards programme and the european investment bank to not be the main instruments the contribution of the european union 's economic and social development of the croatia . 
the indonesian government and the army have clear the duty to protect the safety and the lives of people , whatever their religion . 
that is why we must create the earliest possible instruments more effectively to combat fraud against the community 's financial interests . 
would the eu into a single legal area for the investigations , the prosecution , the trial and the executions of sentences for this type of crime . 
sometimes we seem to have lost sight of this . 
amendments nos 11 and 13 seek to re-examine the quota system after 10 years only and to reject the implementation of customs system proposed by the commission and demanded by many of our trading partners . 
in this regard the reason for the tariff preference for the acp countries , we also agree with the 300 per tonne , but we think the word ' maximum ' as superfluous . 
there is also little chance of that our trading partners to accept such a extension . 
the next item is the statement by the commission on the eu / united states of america . 
it is , i recognise that easy to say to make , but we must try to resist the temptation - and i know that the secretary of state albright share this point of view - to leave these summits is embourber into the details of our daily economic and political relations . 
one of the main lessons was that the europeans should assume greater responsibility for european security . 
i would be grateful if , for the communication scheduled for the spring , you in detail at this point and if , in addition to the analysis that has been requested by the other side of this house , you proposals on all the points , on how we can to achieve the future of the new objectives in the field of dialogue , cooperation in the area of foreign policy , the policy of security , but also of these issues that are pragmatic example the agreements of mutual recognition . 
i am also welcome the initiative and the ' everything but arms ' and ask the commission to take the opportunity of summit to put pressure on the united states to adhere to this initiative . 
we must therefore act to prevent the irreparable which expects , those who , as mumia abu-jamal or leonard pelletier , are in the corridors of the death sometimes for years . 
it is an idea to be very useful that we will not to follow . 
thank you , commissioner . 
however , i fear to be under the crossfire of my own group . 
finally , we need to formulae of simple perception of the tax and , more specifically , to the form of investment subject of passive . 
the first the conclusion is that nothing can be done without amending the international framework . 
mr president , as president , the commission would like to stress that the provisions désavantagent the european suppliers of these services : software , treatment of data , computer services , accommodation and conception of sites and information on the web . 
i have always said that one of the rules of legislator should be : do no law that you do not hijacks be respected . 
i am pleased that , in particular to the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , the report on the substance resume a number of important elements which , as a result of interplay of circumstances , have not received a sufficient support in the transport committee . 
in the same time , we must pursue the line to ask the revision of the chicago convention of 1944 , to get a new regulation on the international level . 
the advantages local short term to a country are given to the detriment of other member of the european union . 
mr president , in the next decade , the european union will be in the first world position for the use of the internet . 
many people , in fact , mr president , commissioner wonder why the europeans are always so quick to introduce of taxes and new regulations . 
on this point , to the chicago convention is totally obsolete . 
i do not consider the introduction of a common system of vat as a priority and i do not agree that such a introduction is long overdue . 
therefore , our aim must be to clearing and simplification of our tax systems without increasing the level of tax , but in the reduced . 
the most effective option is desirable to apply a zero rate to societies of electronic commerce to implement the on an equal footing with their american and other competing in the world . 
the tax competition is in the interests of citizens and the economy . 
for example , that the operators outside of the european union subject to the same fiscal obligations that the community operators when they provide services to consumers , they will be subject to vat in one of the member states of their choice and they will apply the rate of vat in force in this state . 
but this is not so easy . 
the place where the tax must be applied is an important issue , and the debate on the number of countries which would qualified for societies of registered is something which , in my opinion , which will burden and the united course to complain to the wto . 
it is absurd that when a journey londres-bruxelles costs 89 books with virgin airways , for example , the eurostar , which is less of greenhouse gases and which is a far more pleasant of travel costs , the equivalent of ecu 250 books for the same travel . 
mr president , this debate see reviving of old demons . 
finally , we have talked about the proposals that have had to the french presidency that the tax be based on the place of consumption , with a requirement for providers to be made in all the member states . 
european companies would disadvantage compared with airlines of third countries and would be a distortion of the structure of price intra-ue prices to intercontinental . 
i think this should be a solution which does not lead to a flight of capital out of europe and which is possible only in the field of oecd and not of a one-off by the individual negotiations . 
i am aware of the fact that some members of this house are overwhelmed by visions of contradictory . 
it also ensures the complexity that the use of the macroeconomic criteria or of nature . 
i now turn to the proposal minimum level of the normal rate . 
therefore , no preparatory work has not been done in the groups of the work of the icao , and it is very likely that the next general assembly of renegotiate allow already of the chicago convention . 
this feeling still that even today , and it is regrettable , in the spirit of public opinion in europe . 
the last objective of this directive is the strengthening of the management of emergencies at sea , in designating ports of refuge , banning the ships to take the sea in cases of strong storm and asking for a coastal state concerned to put in place greater resources to intervene at sea , in cases of serious risk of pollution . 
the oil companies we say that they have a voluntary fund . 
i hope that after the boost given to nice , the doubts and resistance of some countries will reduced and that we achieve this objective . 
we give him course confidence to ensure maritime safety , because it is that it is not a week and we thought-provoking with this question : ' but you european parliament , that you to ensure the safety , to change the rules ? ' . 
mr president , the commission knows that one of the plans announced by the british government on 8 november 2000 was the introduction of a form of tax of road users as a euro-toll holdings by all the hauliers , british or not , for their use of the uk road network . 
secondly , if , as the minister in was the intention , it proposes to tax foreign lorries to subsidise the carriers of his country , it contrary to the european legislation ? 
this imbalance between economic nature of taxes and charges imposed on the road in the various member states causing a distortion of competition within the territory of kingdom between hauliers of different nationalities . 
is the question of the use of meat and animal meal , their export is covered in exactly the same way by the legislation which governs the production of meat and animal meal in the european union and the obligation to withdraw , for example , the matters to the risk of the meat and animal meal is covered by the legislation and will effective from 1 march 2001 . 
the jews are of traitors of and unfair . 
i really hope that in every country in the region , we will see that the services educational promote the tolerance rather than the intolerance . 
this answer is not surprising on the part of mr monti . 
question no 37 by ( h-0900 / 00 ) : 
the commission will also in the same time a support mechanism for temporary defensive specifically designed to counter the practices of the korea during the period necessary to the conclusion of the wto procedure . 
it is a problem of dramatic . 
the sugar-using industry employs coke in total sheepmeat people , but this product is only a very marginal part of its costs , around 2 % . 
question no 40 by ( h-0889 / 00 ) : 
we have presented our proposal to acp countries virtually at the same time as to our member states . 
this initiative has not only refer to the subject of resolve , i would like to reassure you , as the additional quantities which could be imported into the community market are weak . 
there have unfortunately , taking account of their situation , no autonomous capacity for negotiation and , therefore , it is a gesture that we must , in my opinion , to unilaterally , without any compensation . 
the procedure followed by the commission to give the financial aid requested will soon be completed , and it also includes the sums which the european ecpat needs to 2001 . 
we have three types of activities in this area . 
the proposal of the commission does not mention the place where it would be installing this future court . 
i am not sure to understand what the honourable member means by ' proliferation ' . 
the question of mr berenguer fuster is on the marques tabled . 
i take the as an encouragement to renew our action and to ensure that the spain re-established as quickly as possible what it has to do . 
to my previous question , you replied that this is the fault of spain and that you speaking the measures that are necessary . 
it is clarified that i had been made before . 
the directive 89 / 48 / eec on the diplomas couronnant a training of at least three years after the secondary education . 
subject : maritime communications in the straits of between vaasa in finland umeå in sweden the traffic in this strait of the baltic sea has led to disappear because it is more profitable , insofar as the shipowners can no longer practise the duty-free sales . 
in the city of vaasa which i referred to , for example , 550 jobs which have been lost in the field of tourism in the 2 years , perhaps to cause the ending of duty-free sales . 
this proposal to stimulate the development and use of digital content reflects the objective of the lisbon summit . 
in addition , i would urge the commission to develop procedures to implementation more effective and rapid in the field of appeals to proposal . 
if we are only the content useful to businesses , particularly the weather and the geography , and that is desirable , of course , we must not forget that , for the content for citizens is much more complicated to take that only the information to companies . 
the digital content , which is the more that the quality , standardises and restricts the social and cultural diversity . 
the second point which i believe that it is important , is the attention that we must pay to small and medium-sized enterprises , the of . 
hand , we are a virtue of this weakness and that we change simply the negative sign in positive , that we do more of our various languages as barriers but rather as bridges and that we recognise the assets of , as this is a basis for a european market and for a certain independence . 
i do not wish to all the objectives of this programme : the conditions for marketing , dissemination and use of digital content , to encourage the economic activity , widening the scope of jobs , encourage the exploit the potential of digital content in parliament , and in the united states . 
therefore , the establishment of appropriate conditions to the production of digital content multilingual parliament is a growing importance . 
some of them are , in itself , very valuable , but find a better place in other european instruments that the present decision . 
the different positions can be exposed now , the vote is not to the agenda of this evening and if the largest group of parliament 's view that the european parliament must not to vote tomorrow , it seems to me much more correct to make such a proposal in the european parliament , in the vote tomorrow , rather than to make this evening . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , ladies and gentlemen , in more and more of citizens in europe are victims of noise . 
the member states are free to define the evening and when will the night which is why . 
i am therefore pleased with the proposal of the commission , but i regard this as a first step , i too cautious . 
that is why the reduction and the abolition noise must be an essential component of the european environmental policy in the future . 
the confederal group of the therefore supports the , even if we want to go further in the search for solutions conclusive and in the approach of those who make money with noise . 
but let me turn to the bickering and the fight , which is in the scenes , in the commission , in addition , in below , above recently , and here at the moment . 
consequently , i do not conceal that my country with an enormous difficulty to accept the proposal of the commission , at least that is a sufficiently flexible mechanism for the way of life that we have inherited from our forefathers furthermore , as appreciated both by the spanish that by the foreign visitors , can be maintained . 
however , i recommend this report and , of course , the proposal from the commission to this house . 
in second place just relating to the daughter of quality standards . 
i am all in favour of the need to harmonise the noise indicators and the methods of evaluation , to as far as the noise maps , the drafting of the action plans to reduce the noise levels and of protecting areas calm , and the need to extend the whole area of information to the public . 
secondly , this proposal adopted a new approach in order to assess the general situation in terms of noise in europe in the number of people affected by the noise . 
the commission can accept amendments nos partially or in principle is that amendments nos 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 , 17 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 39 , 42 , 44 and 45 . 
furthermore , in general , the additives can be used for the unprocessed food - which is the case here , which have not been no treatment causing a substantial change of their state of origin . 
mr president , with the ppe group , we have voted for the lannoye report in of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , and it is in complete agreement to our expectations . 
we do not to speak . 
the next item is the report ( a5-0372 / 2000 ) by mr staes , on behalf of the european parliament delegation to the conciliation on the joint text , approved by the conciliation committee , for a directive the european parliament and council directive amending directive 95 / 53 / ec establishing the principles relating to the organisation of official controls in the field of animal feed . 
i have received on the part of the french presidency a clear , a very clear message , a message of no pasarán ' . 
after long negotiations , an acceptable compromise has now been made in the conciliation committee : it is about assurances that the protection of measures taken by the commission stay in place as long as they have not been replaced by a new decision , and on the commitment of member states to give their full support to experts by the commission for the individual and the controls that they carry on the ground . 
i welcome this legislation . 
the structural funds in the eu , mainly through the esf - and that the appropriations of the finance ministries should always be targeted on the development of disadvantaged areas and more poor in our societies . 
the cities of europe are important poles economic , political and socio-cultural . 
a clear legislation and a meticulous control of its application are means of an additional action . 
the commission also expresses its substantial recognition for the support provided by the european parliament to this proposal and the many useful amendment which have been tabled . 
given the nature of the activity , the commission can accept amendments nos 10 and 23 . 
i say ' famous " because it is a very in this way , and you will agree with me that there is not a day that the press is rightly on the precautionary principle , on everything and nothing to discuss , rightly or wrongly , but more often in the wrong way . 
the maximalist seek to block the innovation and progress , while the minimalist to do the precautionary principle in the event that significant danger to health and the environment , that is , above below a to define , but we do not know very well how ! 
clarification of the respective roles is a sine qua non for the restoration of the necessary public confidence in the scientific community and , in the political decision-makers - namely , we , the politicians . 
in these situations , a safety margin is preserved , for the purposes of caution . 
we have also asked that measures be taken in the european world trade organisation - a regulation , perhaps which guarantee that it is possible , in the context of the wto , the use of other obligations , such as those that we must do under the multilateral agreements on to the environment , to extend the scope of application of the precautionary principle . 
of course , it is also essential to strengthen the legal value of the precautionary principle to the standard of international law . 
the art of life to handle these risks wisely and uncertainties . 
sometimes it is used too and the commonplace , sometimes it is too little use and causes our indignation . 
i think , for example , phthalates in toys . contained some we had the strange idea of introducing toys in of sweets , of ice and of other food . 
it same applies to the requirements of the commission , which requires a detailed analysis of the risks is carried advance . 
the resolution calls upon the commission to make use of guidelines and to integrate the precautionary principle , each time that it is necessary , in the drafting of its legislative proposals and in all its actions . 
it is not possible to provide a threshold of general minimis . 
by giving for the first time sakharov prize to defenders of the rights of working within the union to the european union , the european parliament solemnly any breach of that they must be fought compromission . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , the citizens ' basta ya ! ' like , first of all express its gratitude to parliament for the recognition honourable it is giving us . 
it is not only of murders . 
i therefore ask you to follow me and to confidence . 
( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) 
madam president , if the house will allow me , i would like to give an explanation to my oral amendment 51 . 
report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) by mr garcía-margallo y marfil , on behalf of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , the communication from the commission on the taxation of aviation fuel ( com ( 2000 ) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ) 
this agreement is attractive to some companies but negative for the environment and democracy . 
the milestone event occurred since our previous debates budget is clearly the crisis of the so-called ' mad cow . 
this clearly contradict the spirit and letter of decisions , earlier , the heads of state and government . 
parliament has managed to impose certain important priorities - in particular , greater involvement in the fight against unemployment and poverty , a number of problems relating to the environment and to the equality of opportunity between men and women , etc . we voted against the attacks of the right brought the life programme and the lobby of european women . 
the importance of the appropriation for the kosovo is not in legitimate questions on the ability to ensure absorption of yugoslavia , in this region of eur 350 million that it was originally to affect in 2001 . 
there is no justification for the granting of tax advantages in a form of distribution . 
a date is a clear response to the postal market players and allows the national monopolies to better to prepare a liberalisation . 
can dropping a simple decision , possibly petitement majority , a whole concept of the postal service design , which has its roots and its explanations in the features of each member state ? 
the threshold of 50 grammes proposed by the commission , associated with a price ceiling at two and a half times the public tariff , is too drastically and would have devastating consequences for the universal postal services . 
hence our opposition to firm and clear to the whole of his remarks . 
we believe that the post is not the competence of the eu , even if the proposal after the reading of the commission is considerably better than the initial proposal of the commission . 
dary report ( a-0374 / 2000 ) 
however , we believe that must be protected consequences of this war small producers who work on plantations without exploit their person and their income whatever the fluctuations of the market . 
according to the article 10 , the freedom of expression of responsibilities and obligations of may lead to the conditions , the restrictions and sanctions . 
we can only welcome this initiative is to when the fact that the value of the european digital content is 5 % in terms of european gdp and 4 million in terms of jobs . 
in these circumstances , it is consistency and their unity which have the united pre-eminence on this market of the future . 
i also hope that there will be in 2004 , a reduction in the allocation of competences and that is the apply the criterion of subsidiarity to the regions and the autonomous communities to their status in the european union . 
we can only congratulate in . 
for example , the trade negotiations mentioned earlier , the national parliaments will be cheated of their recent rights of ratification , and a country , it is minority , the council will not say ' no ' when a negotiating violera its interests . 
we , on many occasions , tried to dissuade and the nice summit has to be very clear that the agenda significantly extended have led to a lack of result this year , which have been catastrophic for the enlargement . 
given the fundamental importance to take decisions in nice , unto caesar the things which is to caesar . 
in other words , what parliament wants , it is a control on the taxation and the issues of social security . 
the council decisions - obtained from the european wrung during the night - does not have a solid basis ; they show of enormous gaps in this regard transparency , the constitution of a european identity , democracy , the participation of citizens and the awareness of reform . 
that is why we must consider its conclusions as the result of a compromise which nobody is entirely out winner , either . 
on the contrary , the national democracies declining to force more to limit the right of veto and to give more power for parliament to the eu . 
therefore , you must vote in favour of this provision which still limit the taxation of aircraft , because in that way a plane ticket cost us always cheaper , so we can travel more by this means of transport . 
' is not the up buildings , you could receive a pot of flowers on the head ! 
the complexity and variety of new technological developments and the process of structural change require to include all the local and regional partners in the development of partnerships , which are involved in drafting the strategic programmes of the regional policy for each region . 
we must therefore avoid at all costs to the suffocate or there will be achieved . 
we could say that innovation is to the reach of all agents which surround the process of production . 
the gap between developed regions and the underdeveloped regions is much more important in the technological development that the level of gross national product . 
as you know , the main argument bureaucrats have as the risk of errors . 
i do not know whether the fact that three women have signed today is the european budget is a direct consequence of the european initiative risi , but i am pleased that the of christmas that we are to decide also benefits the women . 
reduce the budget in a chapter , such as this dedicated to pilot , new ideas in local development in urban and - giving results of that is more acceptable - which have been on the basis of community programmes also valuable at local level that are the interreg and urban would be a mistake . 
as the very rightly said rack , i have never understood and i do comprendrai never this regional policy and of this cohesion policy as a kind of what it is the poorest regions . 
this is the reason why , when i am in the negotiations , which are docup , beyond the innovative actions , i is the mainstream , i am very interested to find in each of the programming documents a regional access to the of the information society and i verifies the quality , beyond the scope of this regional programme , especially in regard directly the small and medium-sized enterprises , the educational and even the farms . 
mrs schroedter , mr izquierdo collado and mr ortuondo larrea , have rightly mentioned , the question of budgetary envelopes . 
the price of new shipbuilding have fallen over the years and have reached the lowest in 1999 , because of this policy station . 
the commission has had to vote on a special to ensure that this was on the agenda of the debate of today . 
this idea is to be in line with the treaty . i do not have time to return to this in more detail . 
however , to the commission proposal , which includes aid to the research and development , the complaint against the korea to the world trade organisation - they work with lower prices , even compared with the price of , and the possibility that there is of the aid measures transitional as the use is not resolved is perhaps , we believe that a solution more or less fragile , but it is at least to a solution . 
in the same time , it is imperative to increase the pressure on the korea , if possible in the framework of the oecd , by adopting anti-dumping measures . 
in other words , we support the unemployment and this is in fact the others which are business with the shipyards . 
i think it is a good x-ray of the european shipbuilding industry , a real x-ray . 
this procedure will not of rapid results . this can take up to two years to come to the final conclusion , if it is . 
this mechanism would applied to the conclusion of the proceedings of the wto . 
i am sure that we are all united today to defend with vigour and force freedom in europe , but i would say that , rather than the solidarity of the european parliament , the spanish have need of their commitment . 
by a day of may crew , on the sicily , his heart nuclear sums of signs of deterioration . 
it would be against alarming that , in this situation , were we not to as quickly as possible . 
in the two , we are the need for the two member states concerned , the united kingdom and spain , the closely in the search for the safest way to the repair of submarine the same time , of course , the european public is informed of promptly . 
we have heard the statements of responsibility in the uk fleet saying that the european fault was minimal and others who have said exactly the opposite , it is important and that it is required of repairs long and difficult . 
i know that the house suppose that , without these commitments , it was , as is the just that i represent . 
the commission is currently to study it . 
as they are already started are realism , with the range of options which now have in the uk and the authorities of gibraltar . 
the cooperation and calm are the methods used in our union . 
the british government is that the commission is recently the russian government in a occurred to fault in the european submarines . 
mr president , i , too , would like to express my deep more support to our spanish colleagues in the last murder of the eta terrorist . 
the commission , in the clear answer that it has given two months ago and in its response to today 's , has the responsibility of the recognise that , although the proposed resolution of the ppe group which , together with other banalisations the subject , has prevented the share of , although it has not recognised . 
the main minister of the government gibraltar , mr peter caruana , has made a wise decision , when he asked to a panel of experts to take the personally aware of the development of the situation . 
such is and we believe is the more coherent and guarantees that the best interests and the safety of all parties . 
b5-0908 / 2000 by mrs maij-weggen and mr posselt , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; 
in 1980 , the unhcr is unlawfully of five million refugees . 
today we have welcome the unhcr and the whole humanitarian personnel . 
mr president , the commission is fully course in parliament 's support for the unhcr had the opportunity to 50th anniversary of this institution . 
i would develop a broader question which has a direct connection with what the honourable member has said earlier to the . 
b5-0909 / 2000 by mrs pack and others , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; 
the final problem that i would like to address the tragic events taking place in the border between serbia and kosovo . 
that is where is the place of milosevic and not the congress of party in belgrade . 
as far as we , the mentality of ethnic groups from kosovo who fighting between them and change must become a mentality made of mutual respect . 
i do not sing our own praise , but we can also say that the european union has responded very quickly to this new situation . 
b5-0915 / 2000 by mr medina ortega and others , on behalf of the pse group ; 
b5-0918 / 2000 by mrs napoletano and others , on behalf of the pse group ; 
the chilean government has guaranteed that in chile , the general pinochet would a fair trial and in fact , he has now lost his immunity and the judicial authorities of chilean instigate proceedings against him . 
i wish to say that it is important that we approve this joint resolution , now that is pinochet in chile , that we have not been able to do when pinochet was the united kingdom . 
i declare the aware that the principles are the parties of the european free alliance and the greens of this house . 
mr president , first of start my speech , i would like to condemnation of the attack which has cost the lives to an elected representative , a militant and a advise people 's party in catalonia , in spain . 
it is for this reason that i am glad that my political group and i believe , the majority of parliament , is not lead to play the coffers of resonance to the exploitation of the crisis in . 
their lives are in great danger . 
the league of human rights is the suspended , its premises are put aloès , and its president , moktar trifi , is convened before the court , as has just said to you , the 25 december . 
of human rights defenders of human rights , unionists , of academics and journalists and students are constant persecution of the part of the authorities . 
it is in a state very critical . 
the daily harassment and the tabassage of all the really are generally . 
i hope that in this case the judicial system chilean continue to show independence and efficiency . 
we know that the heads of mission in the european union are carefully the political situation in the country . 
finally , i would like the crucial role of parliament , which has helped to raise the awareness and to intensify the dialogue on these issues , by the visits and members of debates like this . 
laurent gbagbo must set a genuine policy of national reconciliation , which is a break with the speech on the ivoirité , changes to the constitution racist , and by the holding of democratic elections where any candidate is excluded from , otherwise the risks of secession and of civil war will only increase . 
mr president , the new côte d ' ivoire cause for months the european justified concern amongst the citizens and the concern corresponding in our parliament . 
the necessary conditions are : that there is no feels excluded , that the supreme court introduced by the military power disappear , that the head of state is without ambiguity in the process of the restoration of democracy and that the voice of the opinion of the committee for national reconciliation . 
the concept of ivoirité me for my part , sound . 
a dozen of copies , are now available to the president . 
mr president , on behalf of the greens , we also withdraw our proposal for a resolution . 
mr president , confirm what i said by mr posselt . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
with regard to the these people , the member states to implement policies , if they want to well as the problem of assistance that it is necessary to the coverage of costs , especially for disabled people whose families are not actually willing to take a decision on final and complete . 
mr president , it is a great pleasure for me to speak on behalf of the greens / european free alliance and to congratulate the rapporteur on this excellent report . 
at the present , thanks to the improvement of health , resources of the information society , the care , housing and of pension systems , more and more of old people more . 
this is the governments of member states , the administrations of federal states , and provinces of commons which , by many recommendations , can be some useful . 
on the basis of the vision of life is thrown in the family , in which every human being grows as child . 
it is often that , in the years of life , is seriously ill , is totally handicapped in finland , we need the support of all . 
finally , i should like to insist on one point with care . 
the speech was also : women must not work so that the people have a employment . 
in first analysis , for many , it can be taken as a disability . 
we must find the means . 
the many elderly people active should we motivate to fight for a society in which the solidarity between generations is more than a beautiful floor ! 
these measures must be adapted to different situations and characteristics in regard to the quality of life and the economic self-sufficiency . 
the only efforts and support we can help . 
there must be room for manoeuvre discretion to the preferences and decisions . 
if one and all the deal who fail to our colleague , prayer to return the , particularly its glasses , because mrs flemming was in your back , mr fatuzzo . 
finally , we need explicitly in the text reintroduce the possibility of actions in favour of outermost regions and their logo . 
we must also insist on methods of production which are respectful of animal welfare and of the environment . 
it is also the reason why i am pleased that this week the european parliament , we have created a working group to the biotechnology . 
course , these actions of institutional communication should supplement the operations advertising orchestrated by the large-scale particularly . 
if parliament 's proposals , which have three times the majority of votes , were applied , but this is another example of the powerlessness of parliament , that the set-aside can be cultivated with the legumes or of trèfles and that the pasture , we would be authorised of more pasture and therefore of more than the fodder proteins . 
it is right that these costs are borne by the producers , the sellers and the professional organisations , and not by the european union . 
we must ask ourselves why we have failed in the past to encourage the industry of the european union to use the money that was available . 
of course , if we can create and promote best of food products to the environment , taking into account the welfare of animals , and the sell on the markets , then we really achieve the objective is to work agricultural policy has been designed . 
amendments nos 9 and 22 calling for the introduction of a special county of management , and as regards amendments nos 7 , 19 , 23 and 27 , which require other changes of procedure , we must add that the commission must be to provisions of the procedure coherent . 
all those who insist to say that in europe we like still have the good things right . 
mr president , it is scientifically proven that the moderate consumption of wine is one of the prejudices against the cancer , heart attack , of alzheimer 's disease , and so on . 
. ( nl ) i would like to praise the rapporteur for his work .
