we know very well that the current treaties are not enough and that the future , we must develop a better structure and different to the european union , a structure more constitutional also leave well clear what are the competence of member states and what the belong to the union . messages of concern first and foremost the economic and social difficulty for which atravesamos , and this despite sustained growth , the fruit of years of effort on the part of all our citizens . the present situation , untenable and especially for many hauliers self-employed and for the sector of agriculture , would undoubtedly be improved . in itself , it is good to reach an agreement on the procedures , but we need to ensure that this system is in this area is likely to be misused as political weapon . now they have also given that the rights which must be respected . i agree with your signal earlywarning against their return , to which some are being tempted , to the intergovernmental methods . there are many people who want a federation of nation states . the rapporteurs have pointed out the quality debate and also the need to go further . of course , i cannot but agree with them . latter countries i would add that , before making a statement , we must learn , known as well yardstick forces are available , given that the political discourse should be realistic and reciprocate always of the reality of forces and the aims we all we want to make . i would like to see long-jammed began on this closer cooperation to put some examples of the new european potencialidad . the vote will take place tomorrow at 12.30 p.m . the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . i shall be voting in favour of adopting the draft regulation . the reports from the european court of auditors as well as they are nevertheless out these subestimaciones , from greece for portugal . therefore , have not voted in favour of this report . according to their ombudsmen , such buses are not only cheaper and versátiles internationally , but also more in environmentally they use less fuel passenger is . it also calls for civil-society reference values to disseminate best practice and throughout the eu . a binding charter that includes all possible cases which spells out absolutely legal rights whose taxation could raise difficulties later . i thank both sterling work . however , we feel that this cannot appropriating for already concluded in nice in less than three months , so be it for this reason we cannot vote in favour of the charter quede included in the treaty of nice at the summit . - ( de ) the group of the european csu welcomes the fact that present draft charter of fundamental rights are collected get up to make visible fundamental rights which the citizens ostentan faced with organs and institutions of the eu . it reflects the liberal europe which is built . in fact , would have liked to that letter depriving able to continue working on it , as the propose many non-governmental organisations from different countries of the union . ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on hungary [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; therefore , i would undertakes to next year the parliament is not present a general report , on the reports by countries so that we are stress that attended by a differentiated development of the negotiations . europe , and , secondly , which on the basis of the work begun by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be in a position - hopefully - of presenting a precise assessment of the accession process . i said , not no objection in repeating here that the french presidency is not shirk any of the difficulties that submit , which does not mean that dispondremos time and the necessary means to deal with each of them . this issue is perfectly legitimate , but it is necessary zanjarla enough correct and accurate . enlargement is a broad perspective we should approach with vision and much generosity . not all the result of the intergovernmental conference to be in accordance formidable demands adaptation that enlargement entails . the second major change which we are witnessing all that europe must adapt is the enormous speed of economic development , which we directed towards the global market and towards the global competition . fourthly : what is previous it follows the principle that we grant the member states have now been incorporated later on in the negotiations the fair opportunity to join those who will have started before . in the sectors we had undone investment maximizing long-term to achieve the levels of the eu , must be borne in mind that in the same s circumstances , the present members also disfrutaron of lengthy transitional periods . in the protection of frontiers and combating crime conra will apply equally our standards and the benefits of freedom . look again trade flows that currently exist between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . i was delighted that the commissioner has begun , finally , to inform the people fears , the matter to be talks have to be why certain . this compromise , that they themselves adquirieron met , must be possible until accession to the european union . we therefore need the help of the commission will therefore - we even had the necessary goodwill , sometimes we lack of munitions which are essential . this is something essential in order , as the european union , exacting objectives aimed at the implementation of our own internal reforms . however , there are points and questions of magnitude of those who disagree . it is damaging to the european union itself , to their future independent in connection with america and also to a defence and security policy common european , since they also introduces risks with russia and with other countries . we hope there will be results and that no hope will postponed for another intergovernmental conference it must do so that enlargement can take place . - ( fr ) brief , as has just been just now , since in my first speech i over three minutes before . it is very important , and from this point of view i am delighted that the commission work under a campaign of information , which the commissioner verheugen wishes to be the same time comprehensive de-centralised . but - and will be my last words , as i am not quite plainly : pessimistic in the field , i do not ando with halves , i wish option vigorous with regard to enlargement - to have credibility , we should also be serious , we should be understood , we will certainly also be able to collect the accession of the peoples , of the peoples of the candidate countries and of our peoples . the moment , i see no need to discuss the financial perspective in connection with enlargement . i cannot speak today of a single country . on this issue because the been expressed , incidentally , it is also the wish to join the european union . we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . i have been entrusted the mission must be rapporteur in relation to estonia . as conservative , i am very careful with the taxpayers ' money . i believe that only then tendrían approximately an idea of what people to have succeeded in latvia in recent years . this is not enough , a global strategy must contractor more intensively towards the citizens . lithuania has at its disposal a considerable potential for an economic growth in the long term . in the broadest possible to the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . i have here sensitive issue : the support of the public , within and outside the european union . as a result of a intelligent fiscal policy , the foreign direct investment of last year composure the 5.450. millions of euros . we do not want to interfere at all , let us germans . democracy slovakian evolving they stable and previously had seen otherwise . in this speech , i propose to highlight and systematised the six aspects of development of the situation hungarian with a view to membership of the european union , worthy of the particular mention . that is why i am pleased to see that has been discussed this subject in the general report on enlargement do not . finally , i should mention a cloud ominous that hovering over europe and i must say it specify that a personal view . 23 years agents secret bulgaria launched a campaign criminal in europe and western brutally attacked to certain people , including my friend mr markov , georgi writer known and integral part of the media , who was murdered in a street london in full day . for the establishment of a high level is something commend my colleagues . the report we have the honour of someterles and which has also been unanimously approved in committee notes that the the territory controlled by the legal authority meets the political criteria of copenhagen . to this end , and without prejudice , of course , the role of the commission 's own , our high representative of the csfp mr solana , play a key role . the main problem malta still nevertheless consistiendo that the process of accession is enjuiciado differently from the government and opposition and the european union gives importance to this process of accession transcurra such a way short-lived . even between the usa and mexico levels are on the closest . we should sector , on the internal market pronunciamos are in favour of a strategy well recapacitada , flexible and adequate to this challenge . but let me also say at this point that i respect before the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe , who ten years ago had the courage leaving the street and to initiate this process . the information society is important for both old and for the new industry . we cannot afford to leave blinded by the percentages of community law collected in national legislation . that means that the environment will only be rothbehrendt they sensitive in europe too when transcurran between 15 to 20 years on from this moment . it unacceptably long . that also applies to transport of live animals for slaughtering , which is something degrading . we are now for striving to impose an obligation to undone evaluations of the consequences for health in the case of all the rules of legislative importance . my report mind must also speak of the european union must put that clear that european funds for regional development cannot continue to otorgándose on the basis of a mere accounting division between regions or comarcas . elmar brok has rightly began his intervention with the comment that everyone is going to be the beneficiaries of enlargement , especially if it is that we are on this side of the current external border . the inland waterways is going to be important for environmental reasons because we have to draw the non-road freight and if they are transportarlas to the railways can then we should use waterways shipping and waterways . it has been a question of selfishness and especially of populism , and the exchange rate is the euro nor has certainly helped in the right way . our message to the countries of accession will be as follows : no stop confuse on the extent of the present reports , the dossiers . unfortunately , at present , there are many parties , which have blamed her masquerades as well ideological show , therefore , very few ideals and too materialism . if necessary , we can postpone the right to free the acquisition of land and shelter for use in a family , let us do that . there is now but can run danger owing to the lack of transparency and the resistance self-evident , and although public , of certain governments . moreover , how are the million jobs promised by the treaty of maastricht ? at the time we are reviewing the treaties , some member states already demanding a new reform . most of the international studies show that enlargement entails macroeconomic profits . however , except minorities negligible , no political group dispute the objective of the slovene-speaking policy which is the join as soon as possible in the eu . once the union had been extended to quickly , we would have diferenciarla they remarkable , as is sets out on enlargement in the position taken by the eldr group . i have undoubtedly , the obligatory system institutionally which operates in that country da as many result in the long term for the health of orphaned children . i would therefore ask for the corresponding amendments . even we in the european politicians , minds very little understanding in the process of negotiation . cyprus will be a sort of bridge towards the countries of the region . i wish to negotiators that they will continue its work successfully in this important area . of course , is also a second important sort of communication between our countries and countries which wish to convey accession is at issue here in the eu . we cannot afford to lose the realising that there occasions in the early 1990s . mr president , first , as socialist rapporteur for the report on romania , i should like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent report . it is for the institutions , for the member states , all of us , all show up to this challenge , also with regard to the fears of our own public opinion , and regain the breath , the ambition and the vision of the founding fathers of europe . unfortunately , have the feeling that this process of enlargement despite the many and fine words and of the applied openness and closure of numerous chapters , is not driven by the council with the necessary energy policy . many countries of the union afrontaron similar problems at some of their development and can advise bulgaria to help them to overcome those with which faces at the moment . democracy is not just a question of majorities but above all is a codecision balanced of minorities . the candidate countries must be regarded like and their accession depend solely on their own development . at the same time we have to acknowledge the efforts made by countries as lithuania , compensate for lost time . therefore , lies in our interest extend our freedoms and legal system until romania and that is certainly a point on the debate with our public opinion . however , there is a subject on which there around the great interest : enlargement . my group therefore supports the deadlines periods are in the environmental sector until a maximum of five years . mr president , it is essential to give him a positive impetus to enlargement . certainly the debate remains open as regards the agenda for membership of these countries , because must include a check the progress of its internal reforms . i am glad that the report will am positive that slovenia has at endeavoured to really such a way massive efforts to meet the criteria - which i have seen on several occasions as director of the delegation linger also present a political . in my view , this proposal deserves to be examined . these forms of violence and trafficking in women to be condemned as well combatted already now with all means both in the eu and candidate countries . ending , with this occasion , i would like to share the thoughts and thoughts many of our colleagues messrs regarding the need to examine , after all , the issue carefully the boundaries of europe and therefore the of how much will be extended , as well as about the desirability of drafting a special report concerning the european parliament . the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . thank you . and that this is stated in this house that in a europe of citizens , rights must be enshrined properly in the right of the union . i put to the proposal to postpone the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . we know that foreign substances which we occupy almost never affect immediately , but are harmful substances in the long term , substances of long life and placentas , such as dioxins , the aflatoxinas , as well metals , such as cadmium , lead and mercury . we cannot find fault . if allows dilute " products " in this case , we must demand the least that this will be registrar services of control and to make public that the product has been diluted . indeed , it ought to make known publicly and discuss this problem . however , it is clear that the crisis dioxins was the result of criminal actions to contravenían existing rules . mr president , i should like to thank the preceding the speakers who have preceded me . this is an absolute necessity . for example , the limit value for meals of fish is different from the proposed for the products of animal origin no sailor . it is high time to an end to fallacious an interpretation of subsidiarity , which seeks to increase every day , is the subjugation of brussels on our nations . like the rapporteur , i think there bases to make all these things can be given examine the substances for which i referred , even if we are not toxic for themselves , show increases in the highest levels . unfortunately it is lost much of the knowledge , inherited the wisdom grassroots support , in a industrial production in which animals have been reduced to be production units and goods . the new regulations fusionarán , armonizarán as well simplificarán requirements in cleanliness very complex detailed to this were ingested wind-borne in numerous directives . according to my invalid , the number of those who are reported on the exact content is relatively small . secondly , it is clear that nevertheless going to introduce a change which concerns the farmers are the producers of the raw materials used in animal feed . in future , they are going to see forced to destroy a substantially larger number of items of raw materials . these damages are needed , although it is clear that the farmers themselves are esmeran as possible to garnatizar the health of their animals . amendment no 18 propose explicitly to include the water in the definition of feedingstuffs . on the basis of these scientific assessments of the elements of risk , the commission will propose to member states appropriate measures to limit the presence of these substances in animal feed . having studied the amendments tabled to approve this sitting , i thank parliament 's support to the proposal . generally speaking , therefore , the commission can accept 15 of the 27 amendments . i take it that i have done once the saldrán theirs . the commission has committed elaborarla it too has announced that it will not be able to take quotation overnight . farmers simply need to have knowing with greater accuracy , also in figures and percentages - at least when so soliciten- , everything which are contained in compound feedingstuffs and to what proportion is present . graefe zu baringdorf , and also mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and express my hope that the council adopts a constructive position in relation to these issues and together we can establish a system of declaration more transparent for feedingstuffs . all this , of course , due to the tragedy of bse , which was a real saga , with different episodes . we cannot accept the use of substances , detrimental to the health of people and animals . but we start the good thing . the present proposal is the first series of initiatives based on the white paper on food safety . thank you , commissioner . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) ( parliament adopted a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security defence policy and , on the request hungary 's accession to the european union and on the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ) ( parliament adopted a5-0247 / 2000 ) by mrs . baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security defence policy and , on the request romania 's accession to the european union and the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ) thirdly , perhaps the most difficult , the council adopt institutional new measures to allow the community to operate effectively , efficient and democratic following enlargement . even if it is here in relation to the principles of article 13 , it is clear that the secondary legislation which the european union produces onwards he comes sometimes far-reaching , and that there is no reason to deny the candidate countries as a right to cultural differentiation . to conclude , dwell on the fact that the process of enlargement must be done in a manner progressive , at a pace adjustment of the candidate countries . . in the present and given to the voices have started to framework-directive cuestionando enlargement of the union , it is important that this parliament to give a strong political signal in favour of the same . . ( fr ) since its creation , the european union has a vocation to bring together the peoples . the criteria of the council of copenhagen 1993 on the democratisation or the ability to compete strengthen , by way of " acquis communautaire ' , the reign of an uncontrolled and destroyers capitalism . in these circumstances , reminiscent of lemmings rushing to the enlargement process runs the risk of accentuate the flow populist as well mindset which is obstruction here and beyond . on the agenda at this part-session appear precisely a report on equal opportunities between men and women , which recalls to offer an indication of cuán poor results is whereupon the acquis communautaire in practice in precisely this area . who could , in fact , contesting the entry into the european home to poland 's copérnico and john paul ii , to hungary martyrdom in 1956 budapest , or to the capital-símbolo , prague , when the democracies popularity defenestraban at the head of state and aplastaban the people of jan palach , inmolado for freedom ? a larger europe and with more specific tasks into greater financial resources . take the opportunity to welcome to the elderly pensioners in estonia trust in draw attention to their opportunities to live within the european union . if latvia is still progress and the european union adapts his institutional structure and its policies in order to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why , in latvia fudges would not be allowed in the union . if lithuania continues moving and the eu adapts his institutional structure and its policies in order to cope with enlargement , i do not see any reason why that lithuania is not fudges be allowed in the union . in the environmental field , too , have verified made evident , with the creation of ' national fund for protecting the environment " and with implementing the principle of ' contaminador-pagador " . by allowing the entry of poland in the common house , the union will justice with the newly arrival : a justice that you have been denied for too long . i look forward to the early incorporation of the czech republic . is short i welcome this report queiró on the request hungary 's accession to the european union and share the majority of the conclusions comes the rapporteur . i look forward to bulgaria to join with the union in the not too distant future . poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) this is a fair and balanced view that the council of ministers must take serious account of . i hope incidentally the negotiations were held under the auspices of the un can have results , so that they can both stocks , and greek cypriot , together fleshpots of the benefits of its entry into the eu within a republic reunited . is short i welcome the report by mr poos on the request of cyprus to the european union . we , however , consumers , we are in the last link in the food chain so we are the end recipients of abuse and forgers food . we are concerned that , in particular the european level a practical way , food safety go from the dehesa until the bureau . precisely because we are in favour of developing relations of cooperation , which is really fraternales only really equal partners , between all the countries in the world , we have no intention , with our vote , incapability of a eyewash . the council reported to parliament before the vote in committee , but with a margin of time very small , descartando set deliberately any possibility of a debate additional me or with parliament . in my report advocate greater representation and involvement of ngos , greater accountability to the european parliament , in drawing up an annual report for it to be discussed in parliament , the highest possible level of transparency , the promotion remember past in the fight against preconception and recognition of the multi-discrimination . i also we must take into account the legitimate interests of employees . as chairman main responsibility of solving the problems of discrimination in the workplace , the social partners are also concerned with the position more favourable to propose solutions practicable . jenny was the collective " access " . charter was the coordinator of the group and i 20-25 at the hearings on article 13 . practice because the directives and programmes of action spur to the member states to fight against discrimination on the basis of the same premises and that the commission was able to fulfil our role as guardian of the treaties and also of pioneer in social debate . while the present legal basis prising loans for new preparatory actions , funded within that category could lead to a reduction of appropriations for other policies . ladies and gentlemen , this is a proposal for a framework directive necessary but not sufficient , whose mechanisms will have the opportunity to maturity once passed a period of application . i hope that the commission immerse carefully the laws on discrimination on grounds of gender in the light of this new directive . i congratulate the commission and to my colleagues have produced the report . i welcome the recommendation of the mann report to give the organisations such ideological the possibility of requiring certain requirements for the staff of his office in connection with such character . the speed with which the institutions have been availing powers of amsterdam , commissioner , shows that the european union remains championed the equal opportunities , and i am extremely explicitly to the european commission on this . the presence of very different types of discrimination in our societies confirms the importance of the programme of action which is the subject of the report by mr cashman . mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , i would like to thank the dismay that we produces the way in which europe and the member states are doing to tackle the issue of discrimination , of racism and xenophobia . what does the commissioner to explain why the commission has dismissive of this ? secondly , even acknowledging its importance , in my view this is a problem which will be invited to ngos to participate in implementing the programme , regardless of its size characteristics and its actions . the liberal group democratic has assessed all this , and especially to the activities of parliament , which wanted to emphasise also and above all , in the prevention of phenomenon , amén of good practice . represents a challenge for all because we all judging people on the first impression . mr president , combating and legislate against discrimination tantamount to recognise that there are even often are " legalizadas " because they are trivializadas . the first cnucyd conference , the united nations to trade and development , conducted in 1963 in geneva the principle of compensatory inequality , therefore , as the discrimination . indeed , the information and awareness revisten of fundamental importance in this area , they must be used as detonating to drum a new mentality , a new way of thinking and that need to venzan radically these prejudice still thinly among the people and a guarantee genuine equality of all citizens in terms of rights . it is therefore important progress with the two legislative initiatives which are now being debating , although mejorándolas in some respects and increasing the amounts envisaged for the funding programme and reflecting the political importance to sugar-beet this fight against discrimination . in particular , the agreement on the principle of adjustments reasonable , in which have been trendsetters sweden and ireland , will ensure that now that employers across europe disclosure their places of work equipment , acquire special and unaltered working practices is right disabled employees really beware a fair chance . article 13 is the point of departure for a new objective of the eu : combating discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens for the reasons listed in the same . the second point i wish is unfortunately the serious error on the commission with this first package to prioritise between the grounds of discrimination . mr president , discrimination on the religious grounds is so unacceptable as any other form of discrimination . as the secular convinced , that i am not countenance so accept it . europe 's generous idea recognized every citizen in the greatest possible freedom , should it compatible with identical measure to curtail the others , clashes , even today , with obstacles : some fact and others of law . one of the directives has already been adopted in record time , and they have great hopes that the other be adopted in november , during the french presidency . some others to comply with legal requirements , for example , amendment relating to the provisions of the committees . instead , i cannot accept amendment no 38 is proposing to remove article 5 of the list difference in treatment on grounds of age that they can be justified . parliament has referred to the important issue conformity of contracts . the first time permit joint projects in this programme of action . it is clear that the longer universal in the code , will be more effective . article 7 of the code obliges the member states to commit to prevent exports that deviates towards end-users maltreatment . . ( it ) mr president , i will admit that i nostalgia the times that of the european parliament 's , as well as from the various movements pacifists and trade , the incitaba thinking and acting in single-mindedly of a gradual reduction of the manufacture of arms , and we wondered how converting production warlike in civilian production . in view of the situation in which are now found the planet and our continent after the end of the cold war and the breakdown of equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , such behaviour would be irresponsible . these weapons have become , so to speak , the hallmark of the anarchy in many places in the world . the cfsp understands activities to combat crises outside the limits of the eu not something that could be understood as common defence policy . these are designed to prevent the export of arms to the governments who commit violations of human rights , to areas of conflict or to regions tossed to a career in the field of armaments . the commission , in close collaboration with member states , participated actively in the wording of the joint action of the european union on arms small and light weapons . in accordance with the agenda , the commission proceed to make a statement on the area of european research . introduce forms of intervention in the longer term , stopping-off between the support of the projects and funding institutionally , using the instruments with variable geometry offered by the treaty , and specifically the participation of the union in national programmes as it stands envisaged in article 169 of the treaty . what we want to strengthen , is this character of hierarchy , and that depends on the way of intervention . you say that it intends shake-up in a total of this framework programme . i believe that today we need something estructure european area of research , that is something which goes beyond the framework programme next as addendum of national programmes , we need a factor structuring , in other words , that we must accept formulae . thank you for your speech and its constructive spirit . as regards the ideas with the stoa , i believe we must do something together , because it is something that concerns to the house 's joint research centre of the institutes prospective present in several member states . it seems that the commission to slow leaps forward towards the completion of the european area of research . there will be a complete chapter on science and society and the citizens . there has been contacts with the greek authorities , irish and to ask the portuguese government of these countries to speed submission to the commission of its of cohesion fund projects . perhaps the non-existence of service that i have mentioned - which existed in the commission switching devoted exclusively the cohesion fund permitiera have more specific elements . my second question is as follows : irrespective of the cohesion fund , are the community framework of support , the structural funds regional programmes , and so what are the countries have received the projects definitive and what programmes what countries have already approved ? in 1989 the commission presented a new proposal which would offer greater flexibility . bolkestein and , whilst the main rule of the treaties forbids that copper more firms , and that foreign at home , we should implement the legislation on the general competition in europe in the cases taxation be completely disproportionate . we must examine the effect that may have at this legislation on competition , despite the general rule that these matters are prerogative of member states . if we want to preserve the fuel , the way in doing this through the tax , and not through other forms of taxation . i would say to mr purvis than the most natural handicaps and regional is a matter for probably lies with national governments , as part of your electorate finds itself in those areas remote regions and peripheral regions . mr president , commissioner , thank you for information . the spring and the editions summer , the european commission made a general review of its activities and human resources . there are some who argue it . these children are increasingly used for tourists and business people the majority , come from europe . the commission is convinced that all companies in good time to be able to prepare the final step of the euro , including the adaptation of their systems and software . the debate político-filosófico no longer on the agenda , but in general cannot at the dangers of a referendum , but perhaps in another context . the same applies to the elk . recently it has sent a reminder to the french authorities on this . in relation to the candidate countries , i can tell you that we have been held meetings with them in connection with this issue of animal preliminary agreements were reached . however , it sowing season 's last spring the commission was informed of which had been eavesdrop imported seed varieties of traditional different species , including the cotton , which contains far residues of genetically modified seeds . however , after consulting its services , i am in a inform the honourable member that a directive concerning products electrical , the directive concerning the limits of tension electricity , as well as the directive concerning team radios and terminals telecoms , testers essential requirements in terms of security computer equipment for private use or in the workplace . what endures me , however , that in this case the distinction between on safety at work , in a class schooling or for a child does its homework at home is a false distinction ? perhaps estreche the hand of president khatami . today aung san suu kyi is again be subjected actually in detention domiciliaria . and so i am reluctant to go further in terms of trade or to advise supplementary measures in the field of trade or investment . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : my informers the refirieron to some of the meetings electoral , for example , to which they had heard . questions nos 16 to 44 will be replied to in writing . what we would like this is a report consolidated european outside it published subjected to the consideration of this parliament . we should focus on move there producing weapons instead of think of how to compete with other countries manufacturers of weapons throughout the world . the five permanent members of the security council , that it was supposed computerised for our security , should and devote attention to these proposals and negotiate as soon as possible an redemption really worthy of the 21st century . today 's constitutes an important step in the process of reform which launched the prodi commission doing more than a year . i cannot prevent felt in its quest for preparing a proposal within the time limit set by the white paper on reform , the commission is not atendió appropriately to the details . i therefore propose that both the financial controller as the internal auditor memos annual reports serbia their activities . the van hulten report aggravates further , rightly , the differentiation for which the commission advocates and gives a good impetus for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . what do we hope that will again repeat so we should if stipulated something for large institutions , must be given to apply to the whole hierarchy this independent that the committee of wise men has outlined . in the past , we noticed with great often that the excessive delay in the decision-making process generaba frustration among the locals and a loss of confidence in the european institutions . i should like to tell the commissioner that this report is rather an intermediate step . it is a intermediate step means is the first step of the building a bridge between the system of control and we now have the system that we want to achieve after the reform . this is the content of the proposal put forward . only when so be it will come up introduce the sampling , selection , which is often checked . consequently , beyond mere words , we realise that the task is not for nothing easier . obviously , i also think that neither politicians nor the technicians in no way can we tackle the problem we alone . the majority of children and adolescents is growing though , fortunately , in a way which presents no such an problematic . i fully agree with the chairman of the committee on the need to draw up this catalogue similar to a constitution and in my view , that it must be strengthened the principle of subsidiarity and the eu should therefore refrain from making politics in the long range of areas where the approaches politicians are not cross-border . information leaked throughout the world and of all the areas of knowledge comes at a very short time our houses and the communication via the whole planet is for them to experience daily . secondly , arrested very little time testified to police : " is curious , in series television , leave no chasing so easily " . legislators - with this end , mr envelope , will not solve everything , but they sometimes to recall the rights and obligations of each one . i am also very sensitive to the remarks made about the training and education to learn to read images , on the awareness of the younger generations of which will have a critical approach to the half-measures not languish anything , at any time and any way . nothing will more damage to the opinions which are being forming the fact that we have a report like this will not be forward or make it possible greater mobility or not it begins , at least down barriers to which the facing today educational mobility . the outstanding problems solution in different member states are of different graces : for example , different rules in the field of social security , grants , right of residence , taxation and the lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and of stages . it is time for europe again devote attention to the sound implementation of programmes such as the socrates and youth with europe . the experience on the mobility of students and teachers demonstrates the real difficulties for the free movement is not found in both the authorities in education , but rather in the fields of action by the authorities of the social security , the finance and immigration . it has been mentioned as an example of this socrates programme . there must be clear checks and inspections , of course , even if it is sampling , and in particular a one-stop shop , a website , where there pupils can collect their complaints . demand that we should include the category of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . it is easy to do so in a speech , but less so in practice . the debate is closed . appreciate its actions , similar to the president chirac or the joska minister fischer . the union must speak with one voice in and foreign policy reflect a capacity of common security and defence . we need that a forum of decision-making to tackle issues far-reaching for both shores as the migratory flows , the transfer of factors of production , the energy supplies . the motion for a resolution on the commission 's reports , on which the honourable members will have the pronounce then , is profusa on this . so you will see clearly in the report prepared by the finnish presidency on women and the decision-making process . indicators which has produced enable to assess progress . in addition to this conference of ministers and the symposium on equality professional , two texts are significant , specifically dedicated to equality , but corresponding to the council on employment and social affairs , are worthy of mention . the second concerns the principle of non-discrimination , including the based on sex . with regard to the reports , i must say incidentally -la madam president-in-office also addressed this mover that one of the major problems in the eu are naturally major cultural differences . the reports presented here are a good indication of this . we care that the directive on equal opportunities really form part of the rules . i believe that this method , taken firstly for finland , is feasible in many sectors and , since it forms part of the strategy of gender equality of the european commission expect much of it . on behalf of the equal opportunities , the french women have struggled , thanks to europe , the right to work night . as a french citizen , that vision of the world i find it particularly foreign . despite these observations , voting in favour of this report , then , of course , are in favour of equal opportunities , but this is foremost respect to each other . where hyped mothers and freedom to bring up their children without remuneration , then he will go the bill later in the form of crime youth and vandalism . in this context i would remind you that our report on the division of the derived rights pensions in the event of divorce thanks which pensions survival and the pensionable age were incorporated in the end to the directive 1979 . the polish women were very agradecidas us for having made it clear that the representative there is not present transmitió the attitude of polish women . greater involvement of women at all levels of government and in all areas of life is essential to give greater depth to democracy and to make or peacekeeping . conclusion , i should like to mention the situation of women in the candidate countries to the european union . the council , especially the men composing it have in this respect , the important task of guide to europe in the fight against mafia exploitation of women . slave trade in this is not something that the politicians responsible cannot evade , shrink or ignore . the reports e speeches today we are analysing deduced , as we already knew much nosotras , that the problem of equal opportunities is a problem of structural agenda and , for that abordarlo , are necessary global strategies , because women are not category or a social group or any homogenous collective . it is true that i was a little sad to see that maria of belém roseira does not decentralizer this post . two other members have mentioned the new social rights , new rights tax . thirdly , because they are the basis strategic not only to the european union - even the have at our disposal a picture of the situation in the charter of human rights has played an important role - but also at national level , since there can member states through the benchmarking determine national targets . the joint debate is closed . these amendments are entenderlas in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament can be no compromise with insist on these amendments comitology bearing in mind that have been overcome in any way by the new interinstitutional framework . however , i , personally , i still believe that the text adopted by parliament at the time responded much better to the new realities derive internal market and the liberalisation of trade , given that the elements clarification and control that loaded the amendments have not energy-related presupposition greater guarantees that the rules which was going to met and that we were going to follow the same processes crunch its implementation . if we accept that third countries compromises , the european community should be the first jealously guarded in for ensuring compliance with their own standards , because if a country has the possibility of putting in the community products on the road smuggling what he is toes negotiate with us in any kind of concession ? similarly , amendment of parliament on the customs formalities through statements computer , accepted by the council , will lead to the customs administrations of member states to that driver-specific smartcard with the means of databanks control most modern . but now is too late as you have just take the vote and members have voted in favour . votes ( continuation ) ( parliament adopted a5-0198 / 2000 ) on the annual reports of the commission " equality of opportunities for women and men in the eu - 1997 , 1998 and 1999 " [ com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) [ com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities . rapporteur : lone dybkjær . it is not the first time i am being on the mobility of students and the body of teachers . this report is therefore even more important to say that occurs in a critical time for the european union : that of enlargement . discrimination is not battle creating jobs additional administrative burden on changing the mentality of people . i voted against the mann report , because , although it is necessary , indeed , try to equal treatment of people in the field of employment and labour , would not have to bring the rutting until the basis abandon all protection of the freedoms and all respecting the rule of law . as secular , am convinced that it should have to associate it . the snp welcomes this directive and its objective to end the discrimination in the workplace . if we want to draw up a directive plausible workable and we cannot weighing of nothingness e illusions , because it is not what is expected of a legislative text . however , the eplp has major reservations regarding the following areas . said , we have , in our view , should be left to the discretion of the member states , such as aplicaión generally , the provision of training and workers certain groups of age , the nature of mediation system , and the way in which the smes must interpret the directive . hulten rightly observes this same interview we can only begin with a positive agenda when been made typically problems such as fraud , the wastage and also the lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process . the reason for my vote to this report harassment-related , in essence , with the question of competition closer contacts between the european union and nato is and also with the progress towards a common defence policy . the report also understands the export of weapons in europe as a way of solving disputes in the territories closest . however , i do not accept that the commends a policy of common defence policy and a european security and defence within nato . children are the first victims of violence cinema . i am happy with this study carried out . at community level as such constitute a committee of experts with the mandate to draw up a memorandum to establish the general principles for the protection minor compared to the media . dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) what is particularly interesting is the fact that for the first time , be clear the need to assess the effectiveness of the political initiatives with the annual reports of the commission . peru mr president , we live in peru at times of uncertainty and all grass-fed the hope that the current situation will be resolved through a process , and we should ensure all civil and political rights , which will serve to strengthening and the consolidation of democracy and peace in peru , country which has suffered 25 000 deaths in the last fifteen years . the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which the elections in acceptably peruvian last may were unacceptable . b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs . ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . i therefore think it is good that the resolution includes several points clear e manageable specifically relating to the situation of women and breed at this point how necessary is that we try to help to prevent the taliban regime continued with their full of discrimination against women . the eu awaits you an important task . could not occur recognition by the no member states while persists policy violation of human rights , in particular the systematic discrimination towards women . and this is that we need to be taken into account from the european institutions and also that of crops on drugs used to buy arms . however , prestará all their support to the neighbouring countries with the subject of helped to improve its resources crunch combat this evil . i believe it is a good time to the need to remember that the european union begins to devise a policy of comprehensive nature with regard to latin america which , possibly , you could prevent these countries ordeal periodically crisis situations like those that have occurred in some of them . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , both the commission and parliament welcomed with great satisfaction the release of jesuita spanish , purpose . alejandro matos castro , jeunesse last week . b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : law of - very important universities and higher education at that enormously , all we are pleased that the problem of higher education finally seem regionalised towards a solution really positive . that is , and i say , a good example to all the neighbouring countries is not there is only sow the hatred through education , as so often happens now , but that education can also serve as birthplace on a multi-étnica peaceful coexistence . i also preferred that had been found a solution to deserved the approval of all parties represented in parliament . allow me to seize this opportunity to point out that the commission has already had very good experience as far as the cooperation with the high commissioner , the van der stoel , is concerned . we are not debating today in this house just to express our regret . debating mainly on what has happened , has happened on why and how are we to remedy the situation , how can we help from now on ahead , the commission and parliament , so that such events will not be repeated in future . in any case , mr president , we agree with this joint motion for a resolution , which we support it as it now , with a matter of urgency , and naturally , on the basis of what i have referred to earlier , we disagree with the amendments which were also presented as urgent . with regard to the amendment on conditions of work , there is a directive on this - and indeed the wording of the amendment is not so satisfactory as the text . this simply is not acceptable for the islands northern east as well scottish nor is it is for the potential route from the north sea until the european continent , which i hope will be established in the not very distant future . i am pleased that the greek government hague suspended this exemption meantime . at that , the commission addressed the greek government immediately wrecking the samina express , requesting information about the implementation of existing community law . therefore , i would like to make the following question , rogándole that the pose to the presidency . i wonder whether addition to the deletion of the fridays some have begun to delete it on thursday . they also say that , on the part of the european union , are implemented the mechanisms to place the popular will the serbian people to be respected , that is at the moment where we have a government sustained by the people who have voted in the ballot box and debate . kostuníca , we can have : first immediate lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a package of economic aid it can help the serbian people to fuse its economy . perhaps they decide at the moment in the streets of belgrade if the democratic change will commence now and if it can be carried out without violence . condemn all the measures that can be understood as provocations , particularly as regards the holy places of jerusalem . we tenderle hand does very best symbolic - as mr solana- . in that meeting in zagreb . the most shocking is the fact that the police and the israeli army there may be used for cluster bombs , bullets that when match the body burst in tens of shreds and which are banned internationally , even in strife between soldiers , and has now been spent against citizens . i think that europe can do a lot and must do much in this respect transparently and decision-making . consequently , we must do everything that you will in our hands to stop this fire as soon as possible . we must avoid the provocations as action ariel sharon . today the same has happened , and this is what stunts and has prevented to europe , in all these years , a role model intermediaries in the middle east , leaving that role for the united states . no sacrifice the serbian population on behalf of our objectives gulags and moral , because that could mean the thousands of deaths in serbia and yugoslavia . madam president , as a last point i would propose that , as soon as possible and with regard to a new international yugoslavian government , the mande a delegation from parliament in planning , together with the new yugoslavian government , the reconstruction of a new serbia . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know that today we are witnessing probably an historic day in this parliament , the day that possibly be puts an end to one of the last cornerstones of a totalitarian dictatorship in europe . mr president , the problem arises because with the german dossier to the issues urgently - whether same is happening in the other versions lingüísticas- will only collected confederal group of amendments . lacks concrete proposals for a resolution and the joint text . mr president , i should just like to draw the attention of members on the raft of documents which have brought this week to vote . if parliament could table amendments to the council decision , surely recordaría social and the problems of unemployment croatia resulting from the diet imposed on this country , but in these circumstances there is no legal basis for such kind of amendments . this is the opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the eib 's activities . mr president , yesterday evening , we talk about serbia and on the revolutionary changes that are taking place there . for this reason , i would like to make an urgent appeal to my colleagues and also in particular to the council , that we during negotiations next year 's budget and of the subsequent years calibrate as possible to the commission proposal in my opinion , has toured the best assessment of the total costs in croatia and also in other parts of the balkans . in 1990 elections were held democratic were considered internationally as free clean . that is why we are , such aid , economic yes to this guarantee , but equally an energetic request the commission to fully support this country profoundly european , we have now bhutto democratically in accordance with the rule of law , and to put it on the list of candidates for membership , because i believe that croatia has deserved all our support . like the rapporteur , i wonder if in practice the disposal of money for this purpose , especially , bearing in mind that , in short , we must establish a broad monetary flows towards serbia and that the union 's budget is not going to increase . also delegations from croatia and our parliament appealed to the council that ampliase mandated by the eib . i hope have started as soon as possible contact and , just as it croatia , it grant aid is also the serbian people deserves all our respect . ( the minutes were approved ) it is therefore the spirit in which we invite women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation : tuesday and wednesday will be a list and recogeremos signatures and the accessions the delegation , precisely in the spirit of establishing peace bridges between women wherever , on the other hand , there is violence . in short , there has been more suffering for the basque people , and the spanish - very important certainly , spanish and basques are tired of the present conflict . madam president , you will recall that , in the last part-session , evoqué the plight of the ombudsman democracy briton , james mawdsley , which had been arrested illegally for the burmese authorities . madam president , in my case it is really a question regarding the rules . in fact , this report apparently technical , it seems bringing big changes political is extremely important to the extent that , surreptitiously , introduces the possibility of applying genetic engineering is one wine-growing genetically modified plants . if not vote for the report states producirán procrastination . the council of state - as you haven has disregarded this resort and we have been informed in due form this desestimación . however , it is repeated and affects the case in an mep if rather ppe-de , does not belong to my politically in italy . purpose . hence aboguemos by the introduction of a social scoreboard , as has been done for the internal market , with clear measures , with maximum periods of time and with ceilings . madam president-in-office , i hope that the council will modelled on the expectations of this house and i hope that the summit in nice pushes translate into a european social agenda ambitious objectives with which we can continue working together in the years ahead . following the informal council meeting on ' employment and social policy " the 8 july this year at headline , the presidency has called on all the actors involved - parliament , of course , economic and social committee , committee of the regions social partners , ngos , groups and committees of kilter to you connects its proposals . oppose it quantitatively and qualitatively to what is a false debate and lisbon clearly established a dual purpose : more jobs and better quality . there must be a promoting this mobility and at the same time ensuring the safety of curriculum vitae professionals . we must try to make an inventory of the loopholes that remain in the system and , in any event , them in the agenda . the open coordination , in our opinion , the way forward if we are to secure a social europe . the in implementing the pretensions social vaunted in lisbon requires an effort community , an action programme for the creation of jobs in services , especially those linked with the information society . of course with the committee on important , but social problems have rooted locally and those manejarlos respecting specific circumstances . it factor of social acted as correctness of the effects of economic policies more pervasive ills . the original commission proposal was much better changes - very important congratulations commissioner . anna diamantopoulou , for his excellent document . it is a agenda presumption and can still remember what kind of difficulties nowhere in the field of social protection in the last legislature . i think it will be very positive also to help of reconciling family and professional life of women . sometimes i think that with the idea of modernisation is understood and frequently the devaluing of social protection . what are the basic points the text ? yet it is difficult to determine european objectives which will have the same force for all member states , since the reality is different for each . the commission presented 49 amendments . maybe this touches only to parliament and the committee , mrs wulf-mathies . another point is the increase in support of the community crunch judging the need supplementary initiatives , including , if necessary , the transposition of legislation , equality and the fight against discrimination . in the past have not lacked good ideas or the good plans are aimed at achieving equality , but very often failed its implementation . this is not normal that the voice of women in terrifying for a handful of the professionals who live vindication of the injection of public money . equality of women and men in the civil life , which allows women to the house enjoyment of human rights and freedoms . i hope that , at last players sons entronquen also here and re-establishing the roles of gender and the stereotypes outdated . i believe that meanwhile we thank you for having followed the discussion , because it was not anticipated attending during this debate . competition policy we delivered to the best terms for our companies which will have a chance to plan their production and especially its future . consumers must have access to a wide range of products with high quality and competitive prices , and in ultimately this is the right to move forward with the market unique , alongside that , with fair competition , because benefit to all our citizens . mrs decision of subsidise or of the decision not to subsidise down to the coal mineral . paragraph 16 of the riis-jørgensen report talks about greater legal security in the processing of applications fusion and shorter periods and effective for the appeals to court . in all cases to public undertakings and should be strength to a financial impeccably corporate governance , but to the past and present positions monopolists . we need greater introduction of the citizen in the information on competition policy , so that this 6.50 benefits . these are matters of major significance to the regional economy and for employment , and i hope in future , since this may be that clear to ensure that these aid subsidies household which affect the development and the economy and whose regional factor more exemplary is precisely transportation , can remain granted . this communication contains three messages proper . evans for his excellent report on their rules on state aid to the steel industry and about the eighth report on the aid of state in the eu . i would , therefore , ensure messrs . palacio and mr karas , together with other members who have spoken on these points , that the regulation has in mind their concerns . otherwise we shall be doing a disservice favour competition and to consumers . the debate is closed . the cdm funding grows article 119 of the treaty on european union continues to come into force during the third stage of economic and monetary union only for the member states are not involved in the single currency . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen in distinguidas gentlemen , i am today because we can still discuss the proposal for a council directive by amending the directive 193 / 68 / eec on trade with material has vegetative propagation of the vid hope and also a positive vote tomorrow . some of them , the thrown of 5 july , the so-called of beaune , where expressing their concern faced with the introduction of gmos in the profession . rules which provide for the rest are favourable to the production of a plant material diversified and which offers the best health guarantees , which are essential , in effectively flank the restructuring of vineyards , community key point of the new organization wine-producing and wine-growing . this has to be in loudly and clearly , was not necessary overloading the articles of this directive with references to the directive 90 / 220 in the process of review unless promote of wanting to force the genetic modifications of the vine . i am happy to inform you that we can also accept 35 to 40 amendments tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , aimed at strengthening the transposition of the requirements of safety and management to come under directive 90 / 220 . i would just like to note that we have not asked parliament to delivering an as such . madam president , i intention of paragraph 11 of our minutes on the waiver of mr le pen 's immunity . pacheco pereira . i will be more precise about the qualified majority . on the weighting of votes , still also on the table two options familiar : weighting simple is campaigning for which it is confirms a slight , very superficial , majority , or double majority , but with various formulas , dual simple majority or reponderada or a form of ' mesh demographic " . moreover , without prejudice to evaluation of needs and the coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic , which is encomendarán jointly to the european commission and in the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant the federal republic a first humanitarian aid urgency of eur 200 million . however , look , if this had to say to you spontaneously and very sincerely my impression , say the following whatever the handling of these issues groupe of the commission and the system of votación- will not , it must be based on this for the gauge the success or failure of nice . another positive aspect was also the adoption of the charter of fundamental rights part of the heads of state and government . however , mr president-in-office , i cannot fail to remind the same time why that was possible . we must not kill platitude from the ethos of nice and , therefore , there are a key priority in the days that remain 1950s : raising the negotiation at political level . in this respect i too would like to address my colleagues in the european people 's party - this request to mr poettering that i escuche- because we are defending here in parliament we have one defend outside . as we know from the actions of the former ministers and chairmen at biarritz on more peliagudas issues of the reform of the treaty , the charter probably comes to be the largest trofeo in nice . launching a great deal to consultation populations , the national parliaments , which permitiera achieve a letter based truth in the needs , would the council really are in line with the european desires . therefore , we must call for everyone to return to the roots of our union , have the courage which took giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt , . deciding to the election by universal suffrage mep in 1976 and in 1979 , we can decide to in 2009 we will end a president of the european union , president of the commission . in this regard , i would like to respond to what mr poettering has said about the separation between the countries large and small . i refer back to with a few words to matters of foreign trade policy , because it is a serious matter altogether . it is in all anyway , precious of something that has been underlined by all members of the european council . a second very positive thing has been the adoption of the charter in its entirety . apart from this , it seems to me on this crucial issue for the future of the european union and the way biarritz some so many achieved at the decision , and we can less pleased about . i hope we can convince , still further , to achieve positive results on this in nice . quote two specific examples on the one hand , we shall now proceed to the right to work at the right to work and , on the other , several social rights are included in the social charter reviewed from the council of europe contained in the charter . the discussions that have gone celebrating throughout europe , including biarritz , but it is clear that the larger member states are trying partly to terrorise smaller member states to reform the european union in line with the line followed by the former and their desires . the discontent with both extremes are tested to the negotiators to moving towards a fair balance . the leadership of the european union clearly spelled out a vision . a commission based on criteria of representation of the individual member states reveals a little far-sighted vision . a union of this nature is centralist as well would give a smaller states of the union less able to which the two-chamber system of the us attaches to the small states americans . following the summit sheikh were present in which all parties involved in order to find a way to stop the violence and reopen dialogue between barak and arafat , we have seen how difficult halting the clashes , even though there was a moment that seemed to be unsavoury . obviously , some poor informers would say to mr barón . doing things that are not certain italy and with regard to my party . it is important that the introduction of the european tax on the use of energy , which so far has remained blocked by applying the principle of unanimity , progress . we should not allow between member states misapprehensions the fear so that they can move forward solutions coming to an directors . in my opinion , the convention has produced an excellent and i am proud to have been a member of the same . in the latter case , the issue will be the work is taking place now that the principle of equal rotation strictly between large and small . the enlargement affairs are truly for qualified majority voting , together with the codecision procedure , preserving the rule 250 , in its current wording , the place and the role of the commission in closer and not just on the first pillar : those are some of elements which will enable us to judge instant if there is , after all , success or failure . . ( fr ) mr president , thank you first and foremost , a jacques jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and fernand herman , i thank everyone , from vaclav havel until carlo ciampi , since joschka fischer until jacques chirac , since michel barnier until pierre moscovici , since chris patten until costa simitis , including to florence , and the multitude of current meps who has recaptured , from 1999 , the great movement in favour of a european constitution . not criticise is far too trader to europe , and it is a socialist where it says : it has given us greater wealth for all . let us therefore at least agree on this objective , and as we would say , how achieve it . i have had , mr president , pleased to note that the proposals tabled recently on the igc is substantially coincide with all or part of the criteria that i have described . . ( fr ) mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , have you hold dear , this morning , a debate on the issues under which your house has estimated necessary supplementing the opinion relating to the intergovernmental conference which was expressed last april . thus , respecting the constitutional framework exists , seems difficult - warn you foresee - more than a procedure consultative opinion of parliament at the outset . you know perfectly well , this means that we make certain political elections , in a rather broader scope , and that the regulation of the three requirements hit with earlier . i myself have stressed that the formula adopted for the letter was a way to explore . but i grasped what we need beyond the linguistic point , your question hides another concern . here we have also why i wanted to thank him , in the fund and in the way , you have taken the initiative . the practical implementation of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies that viniesen added to the institutions of the union . it is time to revise the treaties . the european council attentive against this european consensus principle with its refusal to integrate into the treaties the european charter of fundamental rights , give it a binding legal value grant to people whose rights being affected harmed the opportunity to go to the european court of justice . otherwise , i believe we will not achieve a europe of nations for our citizens . paragraph 8 : the constitution circumvent - and i quote - ' issues that have been remained open " . to date , been nobody has known explain what has changed meantime . secondly , this does inadequate agenda , which has been left out issues particularly relevant for the future of the union and the interest of citizenship . minister , are said to eve of the revolution bolchevique -acontecimiento were going to have such serious impact on the entire iuris the eastern orthodox church was mired in complex discussions on the design of the vestiduras corresponding to the cuaresma . therefore , the partnerships should offer all the reassurances as proposed by the rapporteur , open to all , respecting the spirit of the treaties and without object to the acquis communautaire . well , there is one point i would like to stress : it does not seem right to be commends or move towards the requirement of a referendum obligatory in all member states to adopt precisely the proposed amendments . gil robles for his work . we held a debate very at length on two issues which , remain distinct , are also concerned with one point . we are prepared to ensure that this house to vote during the november part-session , thereby allowing to be adopted during the french presidency . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) what means ' the introduction of the opportunity to access the retirement gradually , through to part-time work " , but a threat to the retirement age , nevertheless already excessively high in many countries ? we know that both pensioners as children are marmalade likes them . i have asked pensioners , who have sent me here at the european parliament with the pensioners ' party if they would drink wine genetically manipulated . that is still , exceptionally , have vegetative propagation material of standard when categories that they cannot meet the needs . so , mr president , i ask you : do the variations in labour costs for these reasons not constitute a restriction to competition in the eu ? thus , the vote could only , as has been , against it . despite the progress towards greater deregulation in the eu , state aid can continue to play a constructive role in order to achieve economic and social progress . in order to protect the environment , public services and guarantee equal income of people in the regions economically weaker areas , such aid may prove to be essential . highlighted the danger also sitúen paragraph sights of eu aid to little far-reaching after strengthen control of the european union in the important state aid , on the pretext of competition in small and medium-sized enterprises . section vi , economic and social committee an examination of the timetable for implementing headings 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 of the budget allows note that only an average of 8 % of all the commitments are covered by corresponding payments . three years ago we launched our initiative in favour of employment with the support of access for small and medium-sized businesses to risk capital . parliament proposes to two ways . the european institutions only healed fulfilled their role if this is achieved . in this context , i wish to thank the vice-president responsible for the budgetary matters , which is no gerhard schmid , for their constructive cooperation . we want that committee maintain its ability to work , but we cannot afford to be the institution that less attention paid to exhortations to the european parliament as part of the budgetary authority . this means that the year 2001 will be the last budget year complete and in this context we must also appreciate the commission 's proposal and the now presenting to parliament . addition , we want the flexes administrative expenditure . since 1985 -digo well 85- the committee on budgets of parliament in the next endeavouring to bring procedures of the european parliament and take account of the financial impact of the resolutions which votes in the plenary . just as well , mr president , thanking the diligence of the other institutions in the handling of this joint declaration . now you are asked to give its opinion concerning a budget which it was amended at first reading by the council . human internal policies , the council left cautious , a margin in heading 3 , more important than that proposed by the commission . i would like , in conclusion , which does not give investment , through the courage symbolic that have-nots . an examination of the three sets of figures allows appreciate that there are still considerable differences exist , including on the agenda purely quantitative , as well as , of course , the content . i would remind you that last year , after a long debate , was reached a new decision on comitology common agreement with the council , and i have little hope of possible reopen the debate . in the financial perspective agreed in berlin for the period until 2006 foresaw a 8.100 millions of euros for the meda programme . solana . therefore i would like to ask both the council as to the committee on budgets of the house to think of foreign policy and not just in the budget when non-spaniards foreign policy . the second relates to the aid must be warrant to the victims of human rights violations in treatments which require specialist bodies . if in the space which still remains to be achieved strike a compromise which supports the important work of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , we will reach an agreement , otherwise it will keep our position . it is enough to look at our television screens as well let the present difficulties in the middle east to clear remember every day . therefore , i hope that in the vote tomorrow logremos yet achieve majority in favour of the centre of dublin . mr president , i should like to make some observations , starting with the rural policy , from the perspective of the committee on agriculture . we have asked for approves a credit indicative of two million euros for a campaign of information on the cfp . the commission communication should negotiate with arguments of weight to achieve a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and with the governments concerned theirs promote politically this negotiation . today examining the budget for 2001 with the image of the people of serbia in our souls . overall , we querríamos that rubberstamped these amendments . a major way as citizens can make sure it confront their concerns is the recourse to the ombudsman or do petitions to parliament . the first step to parliament 's budget . surprise to many of the members of my delegation , in early september centre-piece unanimously a basic strategy and the 400 amendments introduced by some of my colleagues are resulted in a way surprise to many of the members of the committee on budgets . it is hard to imagine that the increase in jobs go to resolve the problem of the discharge , if there are still fashioned and complex procedures in the commission and the council to tackle the many problems exist . this house has repeatedly demonstrated in recent years that his work is based on the principle of a rigorous austerity . it is not acceptable for years now talk blithely compromises and have always promise timeframes , but when the time comes pay , then say they are excessive and those recortarlos somewhat . consignamos only a few million -no can be far más- and in that time we promise suculentas them , and then , when we really need it , to reinstate the exempt . the 2001 budget , as we are already happened with the last year , has had to grapple with practically insoluble conflicts between the pressure in favour of consolidation and thrift , such as decided under the interinstitutional agreement with object securing the funding of enlargement , on the one hand and , on the other hand , the desperate need finance the stability pact for the balkans . the demands for a higher yields also require more staff . the adoption of this amendment , in its original version , been able to start to change the implementation , but a majority of the committee on budgets rejected this idea . we in the european parliament is being prepared , he may say , to accept implicitly the position of the council . and in that case , the examples are , unfortunately , numerous : the privileged treatment to partnerships with vocation federalist or to the many ngos , with a job , a philosophy and a functioning of the most 189c , to the financing of european political parties , through by the amounts engullidas in the prince programme , to try to persuade the people of the member states or the well-founded the euro at a time when the single european currency experiencing a loss of confidence in largely shared by all europeans , since our friends danes until the leaders of the european central bank . finally , my colleague mr heaton-harris has shown correctly with her amendments the socalled naivety of many european programmes on which we offers the citizen a history newcomer about european integration and which are , attention , funded by the citizen himself . furthermore , we must also modernise our administrative systems and we must continue giving , is also a good example . the meda programme , devoted to the mediterranean basin , geographical area of the most important strategic , is a good example of lack of capacity of implementation . when we talk about make reductions or find funds in category 4 to finance certain priorities , must not forget that parliament has its priorities . expressing this quite clearly in the vote in committee . so it must be given to clarify that figure . thank you , mr wynn . it means quite simply there is genuine elements of flexibility to move ahead with such or even when any policy which , after all or not wants to , and what applies to the countries of the european union also applies to the candidate countries . i think austria cannot complain about what happened , quite the opposite . the recommendations by regional organisations , as well as experience in neighbouring countries will undoubtedly be able to contribute to the definition of these resources . in 1984 , the 0.2 % of property-owners in colombia possessed 32 % of the land . the council is not here to comment on any one aspect of this issue is extremely delicate and painful . at the same time , it cannot begin in this way a debate on issues which are , once again , an extremely complex . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : so i cuidaré give a definitive answer to this difficult issue . simply , we would sentiment , and its response proves that a little , that the council presidency is not shows quite determined when we come to discuss this issue . therefore , the entry of this tax obviously will not void . i also them apologize , but we are going to apply the rules of procedure . however , would ask them to you if i interpreted very well that the french presidency has no intention of propose new measures for the adoption of the tobin tax , or whether i interpret it and this is a question of political will , but simply to you too , who sit in the left-hand side of the chamber , have reached the conclusion that this is impossible . the introduction tobin tax at international level is impossible . furthermore , in pending the adoption of this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies , was taken , in june 2000 , the decision to withdraw the material they submit risks with regard to these diseases , in order to stop any new exponentially epidemic and to secure consumer as the highest possible level of health protection . i have no other elements that those who have just inform . we shall continue well aware of the time the work of the commission and council on the erika 1 . but , with regard to this step , which is well-known both of these countries and known within the european union , that it is a step particularly difficult , for which the large transitting ships to win only a few hours , and with the risk of an old cascarones will come to encallar and to provoke a disaster , i would like to know , and particularly to the inhabitants of corsica and sardinia , have liked to see whether it be possible if we simply have provides prohibit the turn of the straits of bonifcacio to these large ships , to these large containers . so i believe that we must support , in principle , the commission 's proposals to amend the staffing policy . the budget needs new money in cash for serbia and kosovo . i hope , mr president , finish with this , which diminution nevertheless the lines of budget in eur 50 million to finance the agreement of peace between israel and the plo . this is why the european parliament will propose new measures , not addressed both to find new funding - which we already know that in the current circumstances it is not going to be able ejecutar- but to set new interinstitutional commitments which will improve the quality of expenditure and insured and has desperdicie a euro . just think : in european policy , as in any other area , sometimes the options moderate cease to be mayoritarias . it is drawn to obscure rather than to clarify and i was disappointed the attitude adopted today regarding the budgeting depending on the activities . however , the costs can be repartan according activities , also raises in greater extent how the budget is seen as a political instrument where the apportionment of expenditure reflects the political priorities . but then find a solution , then multiannual continue for next year and the again next year we should have no also pass on this discussion on how find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . stakeholders in the development of a sustainable agriculture sector have to know that the guiding principle of the recent reform agreed in berlin is a step continuing support from the goods support to direct income of farmers . ladies and gentlemen , a budget is always more than a cold calculation of figures . finally , is immoral , mr president , cutting expenditure for agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the social excluded , and so try to ensure the resources allocated finance the obligations of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . it is very simple : this winter serbs are not the freezing or dying of hunger . in addition , i should like to express my concern of the fact that the various parliaments of the young been made included in the socrates programme . as is natural , i must also say quite clearly the council that he too would incumbent of the responsibility as regards the development of poor many programmes belonging to the rubric of external actions . we need solutions stable at around these aid and , in a greater extent , for the long-term planning which is precisely the western balkans . i believe that the majority willing to accept , provided these resources being used properly . i agree with the rapporteur mrs rühle . the concerns and criteria mentioned this afternoon regarding the chapters of research and the social assistance . two weeks ago , we welcome the acp-eu joint parliamentary assembly . furthermore , we expect to fund research and information to equip itself with budgetary resources allocated to the study of alternative products for the current of tobacco . i want to make it quite clear that , as far as northern ireland is concerned , the union europeaha had the influence more direct and positive conceivable . in this model respecting the rules and to the procedure is guaranteed by an authority independent and , ultimately , so judges . they have come about for the first time a codecision procedure at first reading on a text complex full of technical difficulties associated with a sector particularly sensitive to the protection of individual freedoms . it is very appropriate that have been no fused their respective tasks . nobody knows for instance the schengen system has storage over 10 million sheets which affect nearly one million people each year , that europol is seeing how broaden without cease its competences , the centralize information from various police services of the fifteen member states , and this under the exclusive control does authority whose powers and means are not jobs at its disposal to allow it to comply truly another task . having said that , seizing the presence of the commissioner to say that i am antoja timely worry not only between the protection of citizens in the face of new technologies , but also front for using the same for promoting the ability of european citizens in order to act and to interacting faced with the european institutions . numbered as amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 to 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 , 58 and to 60 64 articulates the text of the council to the points on which the commission can give its agreement . it is clear that we then your opinion on the legislative proposals relating to the protection of personal data will be particularly appreciated the extent that assembles an important contribution to legislative debate between the institutions . the treaty acknowledged in effect to the outermost regions an economic and social situation difficult , aggravated by the obstacles individuals among the permanence and the interaction cause serious damage to the development of these regions . thus contribute to the promotion of economic and social progress through a high level of employment . therefore , i congratulate mrs . sudre and await with great interest the regulatory development of the commission 's proposals which will soon be able to be taken into consideration the specific , as planned in article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . for many europeans some outermost regions are not only a tourist destination on the map . our rates of unemployment are amongst the highest in the union . i am pleased that the commission has taken by a large majority the amendments i tabled . in my view , it is extremely important ultra-peripheral areas may be integrated into the trans-european transport , energy and telecommunications . the unanimous approval of the members of the committee on regional policy and the report presented by our colleague margie sudre represents the loyalty of the european parliament is one of its most important commitments . we cannot discuss a whole range of circumstances , belief that we reached that point apt e idyllic -denominémoslo -it , no longer be necessary to take further action in the treatment of these three areas and especially in the outermost regions about the areas in which we are discussing today . this article ladies and gentlemen us from doing everything , but we are enables us to strengthen and , i feel that , extend and improve our action . for the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , the commission obviously collaborating with the member states and regions in question . we know that in these regions there are difficulties persistent and believe so , objectively , depending on their real level of development , there will be a need for a long time by supporting the regional policy individual measures . a meeting of this kind could organise itself again throughout the year 2001 popping more advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . the presidency declared settled the matter and i accept fully . i believe that parliament is right to stick to the present provisions , because , as my colleague said other , it is not often an miscarriages of equipment for vote , but we are forgetting that members to vote , and if we shoring correcting one vote , is a problem of ever stop . we will certainly am what as . in short , commissioner , in addition to the authority , it is necessary for the competent services of the commission , in cooperation and coordination with member states , civil-society a system of controls homogenous and effective throughout the food chain and that the network of food laboratories of the european union assists as well unaided enough coordinated with the commission . in order to prevent it being repeated the same scientific research has been imposed on cooperation with national research institutes and community . we are discussing today on a white paper , and we should define certain general principles . these proceedings have already been modified and traded and now counting on our own " food standards agency " . finally , we also support some of the new amendments , certainly nos 11 , 13 and up until 7 , 9 and we want a free vote on amendment no 14 . in the light of this difference should first like to stress that the let it be guaranteed food safety depends on the resilience of checks made by the authorities , not forget that the extent of resilience usable next determined by the weakest link . treat a subject on which formative revealed the superficiality and the vacuidad of the debate we are about political union of europe . over-confident , there is the european food safety authority only experience scientifically , in coordination with our national agencies . if we continue the trail of progress of the major diseases originating from food affect europe at the moment , the majority of them did your first appearance in the americas . however , there are determine the preconditions for convening the authority in such a way to guarantee at an action efficiently and quickly . we must also point out , as did some of the previous speakers , especially the mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is much more than anything new labour regulator of the union . mr president , today i am happy , and i should like to thank the commission , because it has started work is to improve food safety , i do not . bowis and the entire committee on the environment , public health and consumer protection . i think that amendment no 17 is particularly interesting in it . we say we have to consult consumer organisations . another aspect is organic revision of the rules of labelling for both selling to for greater detail which , as at least with regard to traceability of products and their components , delivers a correct information to consumers and allows cleanse possible responsibilities in the case of risk or of crisis . in my view , the adoption of new legislation not offer an adequate response of the non-compliance with existing legislation . thanks to the vote there was manage restore some balance including within the scope of the problems associated with nutrition and some important references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the protection of the various food customs . mr president , i should like to join my voice to the other members who have congratulated the rapporteur , mr bowis , for having approached this specific problem of a very constructive way logical . mr president , on which the white paper on food safety in itself is not magazine legislative character no reduces the dual value which certainly possesses . the rapporteur , but also many members belonging to the commission , including myself , we have made it the emphasis on the food authority and , in fact , this is regrettable in a way . the integrity and independence of this agency protegerá with better guarantees the security of european consumers . throughout this process repeatedly i thought we had luck crunch elect the rapporteur 's report . mr president , i too would like to congratulate my colleague mr bowis for the remarkable effort made to include all points of view in your report mainly for having agreed emphasized the notion of general food . after all , mr president , the policy cannot by-pass its responsibility . and most importantly of all , must earn the respect of their peers , the confidence of the public and the will of the governments of the member states to accept its findings . this is how i see as a food authority for the future . we have the world organisation for health in geneva . i make no secret that when published in the white paper i pronuncié against this authority . so we have to ensure that the eu are available from highest possible standards of food safety , even though this approach - shared unanimously - must also look at the consequences that entails , economically , a need productive . the tasks will be following independent scientific research , advice , controls e independent inspectorates , rapid alert system and also coordination in order to restore confidence . as acotación uninvolved , can say to the speakers have referred to the need for flexibility in relation to the production of culinary local specialities and of typical products , that this issue is already covered in the legislation on sanitation . this will facilitate the task of the commission as regards the submission of a balanced proposal which takes into account the greatest possible number of opinions of parliament and the many interested in the field of food safety . we are in , in the past , this problem was one of the driving forces which , in political terms , longer-lasting the signature of the convention of ottawa . i reiterate my opposite stance to amendments nos 10 and 19 , for budgetary and coherence , with regard to amendment no 29 , i would ask for split voting for separate to achieve a better formulation of the whole text which i feel the lack of undergone some interpretation . and here arises one point : the need for the european union , in particular , the commission will do everything possible before the signatory countries not to chord to sign the ottawa convention . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what implications have landmines are despite the fact that isolated cases frequently 12-year major military justifications . it was parliament proposed for the first time , in 1996 , the creation of a budget line horizontal and an appropriate legal basis to cups a unique platform for the gamut of speeches that we are embarking on this important area . although i cannot hide the fact that , of course , the powers of persuasion of the union aimed at achieving this objective are being limited to some extent on the difficulties that prevail in some member states subscribe to and ratify the convention . the effective action against mines will be greater if this has been drawn on the terms of specific every situation . as parliament knows , are already too many , as well as parliament knows , with our proposals on reform of the community assistance to third countries hoping to leave behind the turgid individual supervision of each project , and focus on the other hand , in our negotiations with the member states on global strategies and programmes . the ngos tenements have in response to the need to accept , where nearly four years have passed since the first united nations conference on landmines held in geneva over a year since the entry into force of ottawa convention , we are compelled to recognise that many countries and thousands of people , usually in the poorest parts of the world , remain beset the terrible consequences of antipersonnel landmines and the munitions without detonate . the commission must improve the quality of their programmes and the speed with which implements them . i think , however , that if you re-consulted carefully study them we would realize that some of them - at least in my opinión- relate to the awareness of , with transparency , with access to the ngos , with things which work well at this time , but that could function better . patten also quite right in parliament and the council should keep your hands far administration , and listened very carefully remarks of mr patten on this point , which clearly seen believes that we have to keep our hands still further . mr president , our group has been very active for some time across the range of actions claims and necessary , since the adjournment of the production , destruction of stocks , cessation commercialisation , cleaning of areas of mines , rehabilitation of victims , and awareness . incumbent then the member states support the process in the international fora . mines course represent a major obstacle for reconstruction in these countries as well as for the return of refugees . at a pace that we were removing the tardaría - as has been said anteriormente- rather more than 100 years in cleaning up the whole world of anti-personnel mines . a third sector see it on specific measures that we should , at propose and implement . every child we can save the death penalty for mines or of terrible wounds in bosnia , africa or in any other place worth the effort to us all . we must , in fact , put pressure on countries in the european union that have not been signed , such as finland , and that they have not ratified , such as greece . ladies and gentlemen , what do you so we should look to finland and , finally , we hope that within the framework of the future of the tasks of the common european military force we proceed to the training of technicians , in particular of people beware interest in the disappearance of mines in the locally . nor stresses that the list of countries most severely infected understands , fundamentally , developing countries in the world . parliament 's proposals could not be inconsistency with lisbon . the rapporteur van lancker mean that parliament decides to amend the commission proposal , fundamentally adding a number of areas in which it is appropriate legislate and setting some rights at european level . for example , is to be extended the process of luxembourg , which is applicable to market policy , also to the protection and social exclusion . the most important powers , such as germany , france , great britain and , to some extent , italy , are in agreement and to put their dominance small countries of eastern and southern europe asking it to their accession to the european union . however , for legal reasons , we believe wrong now , we will make a reference to the same in the seq . 6 of the eu treaty because in the convention - according their estructura- cannot agreeing formally , so there is no real legal mainstay . the inclusion of the new text in the treaties could not give a legal confusion . on the other hand , the rapporteur has been echoing the new theory buzzword ' in 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 social democrats have today voted against the report presented by oliver duhamel on constitutionalising the treaties . for that , it is essential that the european union comes to have a constitution which includes the charter of fundamental rights . a constitution would only makes sense if the constituyera democratic framework of a genuine european federation , the united states of europe . told us having believed understand , according to a large part of the political class , which preferíamos that our international relations are rigieran on an international treaty . is short i welcome the report by mr duhamel because it makes a very interesting and constructive contribution to the idea of constitutionalising the treaties . we believe a reorganization of the treaties and for simplification would allow the citizens see quite clearly the remit of the eu - and its limits - , as well as the procedures to exercise these powers . until the treaty of amsterdam , in 1997 , europe was a supersindicato intergovernmental . the edd group to vote against the report presented by josé maría gil-robles gil-delgado on enhanced cooperation . that report evidence , the real and very monolithic vision of a union , where all the partnerships should express within the single institutional framework " and " where all should be directed towards the aim super-state . so we need , avoid reducing the way the whole and , therefore , to authorise some member states to make progress , developed mechanism closer . the structures for which we governing the functioning internal market have seen smog-wreathed on the success since the beginning of the 1990s . . ( nl ) the european cooperation can be useful to resolve cross-border problems . these areas could constitute a formidable laboratory in terms of sustainable development . the technocrats , the european judges , have sought to delete that " the rate of footpath " seeks to our resources municipalities of french overseas departments and , above all , it protects our craftsmen . france , on one side , possesses the overseas departments in the indian ocean and the caribbean . its independence will be an essential factor for the credibility of this body . our vote clarified , then , the role of the composition of the future european authority , but also has defined our demands on their funding and its independence . secondly , the european agency should be completely independent . we must take account of the european parliament methods agriculturally and processed , the problem of imports of goods foodstuffs , the composition of ingredients for animal feed , dioxins and the maximum levels of pesticide residues , additives and other technical , accorded priority for food safety . we voted in favour of amendment no 15 , since defending vigorously defence europe 's cultural heritage is linked to the local food production . i would like to make two requests . one colleagues in the committee on agriculture have presented close to 30 amendments . we also want expiring 50 % of appropriations in the budget line and another 50 % in reserve . i note here that there are proposals to reduce the budget . ( parliament adopted a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs . haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the draft general budget of the european union for the year 2001 , section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) madam president , my name appears as signatory to several amendments to this report . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) real surprise this budget is concerned for external measures where dominates the selfishness and meanness . it is possible release resources through the use of the instruments of flexibility . . ( el ) i voted against the haug report , just as i have voted in favour of my group 's proposal to reject the budget for 2001 . we refer in particular to the new pilot project be funded activities for information in the field of combat paedophilia . this shows the solidly poorly motivated aroused by the project of european union , even among the politically active . in this way , is an 20 to 30 % of the markets will provide again to competition privacy . given that all this time the assured with this report , i voted against the same , with the national unacceptably low thresholds , which diezman subsidies nicknamed combination with the proposed reductions ceiling on withdrawals % for the citrus fruits , as 8.5 % to apples and pears , all 10 % for the rest of fruit and hortalizas- , how it is evident that for enormous quantities of fruit and vegetables , which is pudrirán fields , and in the workshops and cooperatives , will not stand a chance of market , with the consequent general drop in prices . way , the farmers will have a irremisiblemente obliged to grubbing-up of crops . i voted in favour of this report because it is up to the expectations of the trade portuguese hortofrutícula sector , which have vindicated drastic a modification of the market organization for fruit and vegetable products for viewed deeply lesiva for the national interests . report ( johan van hecke a5-0296 / 2000 ) the nettle is on the sacrifice of everything , even the quality of the environment and climate , on the altar of the capitalist exploitation of resources productive and of the obtaining of maximum profits . in kyoto , we agreed that the richer countries than the 1989-1999 to keep their cleaner air , but they can record of form restricted in their own list of results emissions produced in other parts might have helped to reduce . . ( fr ) combating the greenhouse effect is an element of vital importance to the industrialised countries , and especially a duty towards the peoples of the third world already pay with their lives the effects of global warming . the art of living consists of coexist they sensibly with these risks uncertainties . the same way - will be guaranteed and redoblarse efforts aimed at establishing exact of suspected substances must be endocrine ( a . e . the consumer and the smes not benefit sufficiently internal market , which is sees completed with the introduction of the euro . after all , the banks are being forced so far by the member states to communicate to its central bank cross-border payments which exceed the 12,500 euros , with a view to the statistics relating to the balance of payments . of course , is required of these companies have the same strict criteria in the field prudential and laundering of money . even aware of cases in which the committees on cross-border transfers have increased after the introduction of the euro , and not only a small amount . the european central bank could contribute implementing a european standard format of data in the transactions of payments , as well as with the use of a code of identifier unitary and european level within the international system iban . it is crucial for consumers to accept the euro . madam president , the report of mrs peijs , concerning the payment of little value in the internal market , uses the old demand by the european parliament on the high costs cross-border transfers within the union . the peijs report as it says in recital d draft resolution . it quote : " the high costs related to cross-border transfers are harmful to the confidence of consumers in the euro ' . thus , much still in this area , but the resources and means with which counting on that point politicians are much smaller than the existing in relation to this question of payments in the internal market . the market in the future of the euro will constitute an internal market , and the citizens not understands that , in this area in which disappear the risks of change and methods of payment electronic banking via the internet will be incorporated in everyday life , a transfer of salzburg munich to be much more expensive than a transfer of munich to kiel . the implementation of this objective sever are still many years of work to us and for you . in that opportunity , we too shall of reducing the deadline for undone cross-border transfers , on the issue which has insisted on the report of mrs peijs . the debate is closed . yet it seems to be a good policy the preferring a pragmatic approach and proximity to puts small businesses in the heart of the arrangement , more than a proposal which , on the pretext prevent small measures desultory , serve only to create statistics whose use specific would be entirely impossible . however , i would like to make three observations about this programme . remember that the first programme of community action in this area was adopted in 1983 , that is seventeen years . further , i have always been in favour of that this will support them in a policy efficiently and pragmatically . i would say that they are genuine economic and commandos of innovation are in the first line and are exposed to risks that this entails . at last at long last we must bear in mind the results of the work symposium " sciences and government " which took place last week in brussels under the aegis of central prospective technological seville , as well as the monitoring of this marrakesh , because there are numerous interference with the issue which we are dealing with . the rapporteur lists a number of priorities in order to strengthen the european business climate . this is very convenient for europe , because that can provide an adequate assistance quickly , and technically correct . mr president , i too would like to join in the thank-you who was on montfort . on the excellent work they have done . what is important is strike the right balance , avoid a situation learning of people fail at the expense of other people . this is not justice and , therefore , support this report . that is equally the guiding principle of the charter for small businesses . the programme will do everything necessary to ensure that networks second-chance this information . it is clear that the basic aim of the plan is restricting emigration towards the countries of the european union , as well as to repatriate people hagan staying illegally in the eu . particularly stress the need to take measures aimed at improving the internal security , the reinforcement of dialogue between european and local authorities non-albanian , and , as far as the commission and council , the boost specific action in collaboration with the albanian authorities , the italian and greek . the poor social , economic and political situation in combination with the lacking or with the inadequate legal certainty and the racketeering cones uncontrolled migration massive . mr president , unlike the mrs pack , i think that merrier more groups the frontline of albania itself . it is clear that it is not possible to find an immediate solution to all of this problem but a not very long term , it will create a world reasonably fair , safe with future possibilities . there is also a chasm between the donors , all of us , with the united states , we attach money , preoccupy projects and similar issues , and the same people who is present in the field . seize , people 's bilateral agreements which so as to have clear legal fijen business , the time and place of residence , the salary , the hours the conditions of work and social security , lucky to immigrants can mostrarse as a force serving the economies of our countries and to help the friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to grow nationalist aspirations and times of the cold war . we repatría people who have been properly integrated . the basis attention must not vested in the modes of curb the influx of immigrants and refugees , but how to improve living in the area so that people can remain in their homes . mr president , i too believe that , as you said mr dimitrakopoulos , with regard to the difficulties albania - economic , social of internal security - remains the central issue of that country to help to restore the rule of law , to offer safety of citizens and restore the authority of the institutions and local authorities . i agree with my colleague mrs liese that we need a of burden sharing in the field of asylum and refugee policy . the plan of action for albania and the neighbouring region was adopted in june this year , and is , therefore , on sixth the series . i nerve-wracking being forced the frustration , and also the amazement before the european law , and we want to make an appeal to this parliament , but also to the other community institutions , in order to backwards before the efforts of the thorough work , to work precisely and to make available the necessary time to achieve the necessary co-workers . with this report citizens want to send the message that we take seriously the complaints about the poor quality of the law and on the suprarregionalización and centralization . it is in itself does matter quite important , of course , but one must not say that judging the mobility-impaired assistance to discuss in more detail on this . another matter more vitally important is that the report raises the question of subsidiarity , which is to some extent polemics this afternoon in this house . it is very interesting that hiciese a study of the current situation of the legislation , in the light of this principle , to re-focus simpler , more transparent and more effective and more relevant , freeing the texts are superfluous , as invites you to this paragraph 6 of this report . having studied the report with great detail , i have reached the conclusion that is not even that a political principle : is a principle theological . in other words , we must ensure recognition of the principle of subsidiarity also for local authorities smaller businesses , with reality autonomous , to the nuclei intermediate , to the nuclei social , family-friendly citizens who are the ones genuine sovereign does legislative and administrative action . ai , therefore , give an overview of synthesis . i now give the floor to commissioner . what is this an area in which we must intervene and produce a detailed legislation which ensures that implantará everywhere , we must consider alternative or as a voluntary agreement to be complied and can make controlled ? - ( de ) i voted in favour of this report , although i have not achieved the adoption of certain amendments , because concerns the issue of the high cost of change and of transfers in the eu when we shall be beware , even fifteen months , the same coins and notes in eleven member states , resultará more expensive drawn that money uniform outside the country in which the alive . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must begin regretting that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , after all be here today . it must be an agreement which drives cooperation fisheries the moroccan fisheries sector , but which satisfies also fully fishing interests of the european fleets . therefore , we have reached agreement to work from the perspective of a partnership responsibly , after which morocco expose its views at a meeting which , as you indicated , be held in brussels 30.3 % of october , in other words , on monday . a few weeks ago , and i was in algeciras , in the southern spain land-locked . one cannot far morocco . the time , in its flux , taught us that we also difficult to could become impossible . through fisheries agreement in the union can exert fishing activities e exchanging rights of fisheries agreements with third countries . i read in a magazine swedish specialised in fisheries that one of these ships centralizing their burden on el-ayun , is described as a port moroccan . all this is at stake are at risk . all our fisheries agreements , not only with morocco , because they are also mauritania and soon guinea , for example . eleven months has been slow to get to the turning-point in which we are day 's meeting , 30 and in this respect , we also know assess the latest measures of commissioner fischler , the results of their journey of last day 26 to morocco and the interviews high level mantenidas , even with himself has king . but i would like to convey to the commission , worthily represented today by the commissioner busquin , a few very brief messages . my question to the commission is : if is not achieved an agreement with morocco , or if that agreement are celebrating the terms identified by the commission , an agreement which will stimulate the production moroccan , does the commission intend to take structural measures to compensate for the delay and that will produce in the regions affected ? as imaginábamos , the difficulties in the negotiations with the moroccan authorities have been very great . lastly , in the undesirable must have the negotiations fail , the union has the moral and political obligation to support fishermen and the owners with subsidies satisfactory to them insured means of subsistence . we must dismantle surplus capacity of the fishing industry of the eu . we therefore need as quickly as possible shake their economic and political relations with marruecossin prejudice the imposition of our european interests in the field of fisheries . this is why the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership aimed at a development which is of interest to both parties and allows , on the one hand , an integral development of the moroccan fisheries sector , the fleet , aquaculture processing trade and research on the other allocation of the fishing opportunities to european fishermen . the rights of teachers of language " not only in german there is a clear distinction between both formulations . in july 1999 , the commission prompted this procedure of infringement proceedings before the court of justice . so , unless swifter harmonize systems - something which we expect - nowadays , respecting the principle of subsidiarity must not be allowed to be done move for discrimination against the very probably , is the application of a privilege . perhaps we could accept the previous commission under the leadership of mr santer is not the best fuese , this is the reason why which disbanded . members of the committee juridicos is what the whole of the union and all the parties have been aunado to say it is no use to talk about rights , support charters of rights , whether it is genuine cases in which he was refuse ' rights to certain persons its emprenden effective action to ensure that they recognised . in engineers , and this is the problem in this case . this is absolutely unacceptable in a modern europe . of course , the field of education falls within the subsidiarity principle , but in the framework of the contracts , freedom of movement of workers and the ban all discrimination concern us all , but let us , particularly favourable - and i do from a federal state - the principle of subsidiarity as a principle computer in partnership in the european union and also to the distribution of competences between the different levels of europe in orderly according to the princio of subsidiarity as quickly as possible . in this context , we can no longer speak of discrimination . mr president , what you would be done by a great deal knowledgeable on the terms surgery in italian , french , english , german or by a surgeon ? ( the sitting was closed at 10.56 p.m. ) . we manifestarles our deep sympathy . i give the floor . ceyhun expresses as rapporteur on behalf of the socialist group . as regards the statements by the council and the committee on the third asia-europe meeting , the council has informed us do not wish to speak at the moment . it is therefore an issue which , in the role of the treaties and depending on the euratom treaty , within the competence of the commission ; it affects , or can affect , for many citizens are not only because spaniards into place , and your area , without that there is any emergency plan , there are hundreds of thousands of european citizens originating in the 15 member states of the union , apart from many who come from outside , because this is the expense of the sun . madam president , sad , but telling squint through the spanish minister for home affairs , mr oreja . greater there any possibility of dialogue with the basque nationalists , even if it arose in the future new truce . i would urge you to take account of this week a statement by the committee on the decision taken by the british government to introduce such a tribute non-discriminatory with regard to carriers nationality is british . given that the so-called european parties , even liberals , tending increasingly to aligning with forces of inspiration , racist , xenophobic authoritarian , i believe that this is a grave danger not just to italy , but it also is a sign that affects the whole of europe . moreover , in the report also contains critical comments to with the french proposal . these demands are contained in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the report of mrs karamanou . the initiative of the french presidency that we are examining today is , of course improve two conventions general legal assistance in criminal matters - i have just mentioned in - especially in the area of the fight against money laundering . i am very reaffirm that if the idea of the fight against money laundering cannot suffer , through no fault of the council will not of parliament . we can only congratulate her on this work . marinho - and i also agree - the way , is the communized . all those who have contributed coincide on an initiative which is invaluable and we support his statements . what we need is to grant europol operational capacity for action in these cross-border . that too many cases are present in our common europe . therefore , before to lend my support to a hurried ferocity for mutual judicial aftercare of resolutions , i would like existed a recognition of standards whole fair . i understand that it is very difficult because here we must build on the basis of a dispersal of instruments . but this is also an necessity in order to strengthen the economic area within the european union 's is also a wish for citizens of which we reciprocate , because the people of europe have a right to safety . in the eu , we must continue carrying them out unyielding a fight against money laundering , aware that , in particular , of the creation of a single market and the liberalisation of the markets of capital and financial services , the imposes an effective police and judicial cooperation between member states , as effectively as possible . as consultant financially , nothing to parrot assume that the lawyer , as such , is not here exercising their profession . the same way , i should like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the matter raised by the number of members of the conditions in which the confidentiality of the legal professions may constitute a refusal well-grounded to cooperation in judicial matters in the fight against money laundering . this is true , especially in the event of serious offences and crimes of special gravity and cross-border nature . overall , the task is so great so important that cannot be twotiered solely by the council . so there is a need to strengthen the rights of citizens adopting an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly in terms of its right of interpretation and in its power to decide whether or not . therefore , let us presto my support to greater cooperation and coordination , do i think that a legal system is a wrong decision and we are going to oppose it . the second point is also evident interesting . this is something positive and it is pleasing to note that has both support in this parliament . i will use that feedingstuff since several members have raised points very delicadas- to tell you quite frankly , as it has just pointed coelho . however , we think that this initiative be above all a first initiative which shows the political will and the council of overcoming the delay in the field of judicial cooperation , in connection with police cooperation . for which i regard it as an important instrument for ensuring that the judicial control of europol . the programme fair concerning the research in the area of fishing , the agriculture and the agro-industria sat on the fourth framework programme inquiry extendió since 1994 to 1998 . will lead to the importance of research programme for agriculture and fishing , it is regrettable that they have been ascertained certain problems which concern the organisation of the programme . the court of auditors ' report on the programme fair , which is based on the report of the rapporteur , i was published until march of this year , although the letters of sector were sent to the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to highlight several points . you underlined , and i am grateful for that , within the spirit of which was drafted this report , thanks to dialogo with the court of auditors and the commission departments and in the interest which you full-scale him . that shows that the commission remained inactive and which led to effect th
