we know very well that the present treaties are not sufficient and that it will be in the future necessary to develop a structure more efficient and different for the union , a more constitutional structure that clearly indicates what the expertise of the étatses members are and what are the expertise of the union .
messages of concern first of all before the economic and social difficulties that we cross , and this in spite of a sustained growth , fruit of years of efforts on behalf of all our fellow citizen .
the present situation , particularly intolerable for number of enterprises of independent transportation and for agriculture , must be improven .
to find a relative agreement to the processes is a good thing in itself , but it is necessary to look after what this system cannot act by force as political striking .
they also have now a lucid vision of the rights that they must respect .
i am in agreement with his/her/its warning against the return , that tempts some , to the intergovernmental methods .
we are a lot to want a federation of états nations .
the reporters underlined the quality of the discussion and also the need to go farther. i can only join them of course .
i also thank all those that blamed me amiably for not having made this speech earlier. to those , i will answer that before pronouncing a speech , it is necessary to learn , to know , to value strengths in presence , because the political speech must always appear realist and close to the reality and objectives that we set .
i would like that one leaves from this cooperation reinforced to give some examples of the new european potentiality .
the vote will take place today to 12h30 .
the commission cannot accept the amendment 12 .
i will vote in favor of the regulation project .
the reports of the court of the accounts european don't quit to raise these misjudgments , of greece to portugal , besides .
consequently , we didn't vote for this report .
according to the defenders of these buses , these last are not only cheaper and can be used the world scale , but they are also more ecological because their consumption of fuel by passenger is less elevated .
the role of the " benchmarking " concerning diffusion of good practices through the eu is also underlined .
a coercive and global charter , enumerating some rights that it is necessary to respect absolutely , risk to put some difficulties to an ulterior stage .
i thank them all two for their great engagement .
we don't think however not that this dialogue can already be finished in nice in less than 3 months , and this only reason is sufficient to explain our refusal to accept the proposition aiming to write down the charter in the treaties on the occasion of the summit of nice .
the csu group to the european parliament is delighted that the present project of charter of the fundamental rights gathers and returns visible the fundamental rights of which arrange the citizens opposite the organs and institutions of the eu .
she/it is to the picture of the liberal europe that constructs itself .
indeed , i would have wished a frost of this charter so that one can continue to work her , as propose it a lot of non governmental organizations of different countries of the union .
(a5-0248 / 00) of m. queiró , on hungary (com (1999) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 (co));
i would like therefore also to propose you that the parliament doesn't present anymore , next year , of general report but is content of national reports to show that we become attached to a pursuit differentiated of the negotiations .
he/it seems me then that , on the basis of works that has been hired by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be able , of the less i hope for it , to give , at the time of the european council of nice , a precise enough view of the adherence process .
i told it and i don't have any difficulty retelling it here , the french presidency won't elude no of the difficulties that present themselves , what doesn't mean , of course , that we will have the time and the means to treat each among them .
this question is , of course , perfectly legitimate , but it is necessary to answer there for correct and precise way .
the widening is a vast perspective that we must land with a lot of generosity and with vision .
all results of the intergovernmental conference would not answer the gigantic pressure that the widening exercises concerning adaptation .
the second major change to which we attend and to which europe must adjust is the lightning acceleration of the economic evolution toward a world market and a world competition .
quarto: he/it ensues of it the principle that the étatses having started the process later have a good luck to catch up those that began earlier .
in the domains where investments considerable and long-term are necessary to arrive to the norms of the eu , it would be necessary to keep to the mind that the present members have them also , in such cases , solicited of long transient delays .
concerning security of the borders and struggle against criminality intervene also our norms and the advantages of the european cooperation .
let's look at the commercial exchanges that between the european union and the countries of central and oriental europe have currently .
i was happy that the commissioner finally begins to speak about informing the population to tell him that the fears of which one spoke were not a right to be .
but a thing is lucid - and i am delighted that m. verheugen underlined it once again: he/it can have there delay transient concerning respect of the democratic rules .
on this point , we need the help of the commission , bus even though will is there , the munitions sometimes make defect .
it is indispensable so that we can , as european union , to fix us the objectives to carry through our own reforms interns .
however , we don't agree with some aspects and questions essentials .
it carries prejudice to the european union , to his/her/its independent future in relation to north america and also to a politics of defense and european common security , since it creates some risks with russia and other countries .
we hope that there will be some results and that one should not send back to another intergovernmental conference what must be made so that the widening can take place .
i will be brief , as i was besides already , since i let three minutes of my speech time at the time of my first intervention .
it is very important and , from that point of view , i am happy that the commission works in a campaign of information that commissioner verheugen wants large at a time and decentralized .
but - and it will be my last word because i want to make really understand me: i am not on the subject a pessimist , i don't play small arm " , i want a strong option opposite the widening - to be believable , it is necessary to be also serious , it is necessary to be understood also , it is necessary to be able to collect the adherence of the peoples also , of the peoples of the countries candidates as our peoples .
for the hour , i don't see any necessity debating financial perspectives with regard to the widening .
i cannot tell it to you about none among them!
it is besides for the same reason that they also expressed seen it adhering to the european union .
we are going to give the speech now to the different reporters .
i saw myself confiding reporter's work about estonia .
as member of the moderate party , i am extremely saving when it is about the money of the taxpayers .
then only , seem me him , could make yourselves to you an idea of that that the latvians accomplished during the last years .
it is not sufficient; the set of the strategy must be turned more toward the citizens .
lithuania has a potential substantial of lasting economic growth .
to the largest sense , it touches to the cooperation of the european union with the federation of russia .
i now come from it to the other dawns weak: the support of the public opinion , inside and outside of the european union .
due to an intelligent fiscal politics , the foreign direct investments were set up , last year , to more of 5 ,45 billions of euros .
we should not interfere , especially not us other , germans!
the slovakian democracy develops itself of steady way , what always was not the case .
i intend , in this intervention , to underline and to take the six aspects of the evolution of the hungarian situation , that deserve to be put in inscription in the perspective of the adherence to the european union .
i am satisfied with to note that this theme has been considered in the general report on the widening presented by m. brok .
it is also and especially the case in the nuclear domain , where the legitimate preoccupations about the nuclear and environmental security risk to be exploited by the anti - nuclear lobby .
the formation of a group to high level is a measure that i recommend to my colleagues .
the report that i have honor to submit you and that has been adopted also to the unanimity in commission , note that the part of the territory controled by the legal authority fills the political criterias of copenhagen .
at this end , a role key will come back , without prejudice evidently of the clean role of the commission , to our high representative for the pesc , mr. javier solana .
however , the main problem to which malta must cope is that the government and the opposition judge the process of adherence differently and that the european union is attached to the fluidity of this process .
even between usa and mexico , the levels are nearer. it is why we decide , in the domain of the home market , for a reflexive , supple strategy and worthy of the challenge .
but that him i am also permitted to say my respect for the citizens of the countries of central and oriental europe who had courage , ten years ago , to descend in the street and that contributed to put in movement this process .
the society of information is important for the industry , old or new .
we are not able to either to let us dazzle by the percentages of communal right transposed in the national legislations .
but the ten new countries of oriental europe don't have such uncle of america .
it is also worth , and it is degrading , for the living animal transportation toward the slaughterhouses .
for all major legislation , we consider imposing an assessment of the impacts on health henceforth .
my report for opinion must also speak of the european union and must underline that the european funds for the regional development cannot continue to be bestowed on the basis of a simple distribution accountant between the regions .
elmar brok began its speech understandably while making notice that we will be all recipients of the widening , in particular us that we situate on this side of the present outside border .
the development of the fluvial transportation interns will be essential for ecological reasons , because we must separate quantities of goods of the road , and if we cannot transport them on rail , we should use the fluvial ways .
one also spoke or even of selfishness of populism , and the decrease of the course of the euro didn't certainly contribute to improve the things .
the message that we want to transmit to the countries candidates is the next one: don't let reroute you by the size of the reports and files that is before you .
unfortunately , there are too many parties that lost their ideology at the moment and that testify an insufficient idealism and an excessive materialism therefore .
if it is necessary to defer the right of acquirement of lands and lodgings to domestic use , let's defer it .
she/it exists until now , but is threatened certainly by the bureaucratic transparency lack and the manifest resistance , although non public , of some governments .
where are besides the millions of jobs promised by the treaty of maastricht?
whereas we are reviewing the treaties , some étatses already call to a new reform .
the big international investigation majority on this topic notes gains to the macro-economic scale , bound to the widening .
with the exception of minorities petty , no group politics puts however , in question the main objective of the slovenian politics , that is to enter as soon as possible in the european union .
if the union enlarged quickly , it would be necessary to disintegrate it strongly as it is proposed in the hold of position on the widening of the eldr group .
to my eyes , it is clear that the prescribed institutional regime has multiple consequences long-term on the health of the orphans .
i ask you therefore to sustain the propositions of active amendment in this sense .
and even we , european politicians , don't understand the process of negotiation enough well .
cyprus will become a way of bridge toward the countries of the region .
i wish to the negotiators the pursuit of the success of their work in this important domain .
a second shape of communication is also indispensable between our countries and the countries candidates to the adherence in order to explain them that that is the european union .
we cannot take the liberty to lose the impetus that existed in the beginning of the years 90 again more .
mr. president , first of all , as socialist reporter for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the reporter for his/her/its excellent work .
it is also about for the institutions , for the étatses members , for us all , to show us at the height of this challenge , in relation to the fears of our own public opinions , and to recover the breath , the ambition and the vision of the founding fathers of europe .
i have the impression unfortunately that , in spite of all beautiful words and the numerous chapters that the council examined applied manner , this process of widening is not sustained propelled nor by the necessary political energy .
many countries of the union faced similar problems at one moment or to another of their development and can counsel bulgaria in order to help it to surmount those to which she/it must cope currently .
the democracy is not only a question of majorities , it is also a question of joint decision suitable of minorities .
the countries candidates must be on a foot of equality and their adherence must only depend on their own development .
at the same time , we should recognize the efforts agreed by countries as lithuania that catch up , so to speak , the lost time .
we have interest therefore to spread our system of rights and liberties until romania and it is an argument to put forward in the setting of the critical debate with the european public opinion .
however , he/it is a question around which the rallying makes itself - to know the one of the widening .
my group sustains the limitation of the periods of transition therefore concerning environment to a maximum of five years .
mr. president , it is necessary for us to give a positive impetus to the widening .
the debate remains certainly open with regard to the order in which these countries will be able to adhere , because it will be necessary to verify the state of advancement of their internal reforms also .
i am delighted with the very positive report on slovenia and the considerable efforts undertook by this country to satisfy the criterias of copenhagen. as chief of delegation , i could give time and again i account of it , all as the commissioner .
in my opinion , the proposition is worthy to be taken in consideration .
these shapes of violence and exploitation of the women must be condemned from now on and must be fought by all means , as well in the eu that in the countries candidates to the adherence .
to conclude , i would like to seize this opportunity to join me to number of colleagues , of which i share the thoughts and the preoccupations , and to underline the necessity to examine the question of the borders of europe finally attentively and , by continuation , of the extent of his/her/its widening , as well as the opportunity , for the european parliament , to write a special report to this topic .
the minute of the yesterday sitting has been distributed .
thank you .
it happens from time to time to us to recall , understandably , in this surrounding wall , that an europe of the citizens must be an europe within which the communal legislation protects their rights as it agrees .
i put to the voices the demand of plotting of the legal commission and the home market .
we know that these substances and undesirable products are very rarely substances to the violent toxicity , but that it is about substances that accumulate to term in the organism and that have a long life span , as the dioxine , the aflatoxines and the heavy metals as the cadmium , lead and mercury .
it is not possible to recover the guilty parties .
if one allows this dilution , at least are necessary to notify some the services of control and he/it agree to declare publicly that these dilutions exist because this problem must be returned public and make the object of a public debate .
it is necessary to put in evidence the following thing: the crisis of the dioxine was the criminal act result in opposition to the existing regulations .
mr. president , i thank the colleagues who are expressed themselves before me .
it was an imperious necessity .
for example , for the flours of fish , the value limits is different from the one that is proposed for the products of non maritime animal origin .
he/it is time to break with a deceptive interpretation of the subsidiarity principle that hears every day more to increase the tutelage of brussels on our nations .
like the reporter , i think that all these measures justify themselves , as he/it is justified to examine the case of these substances to which she/it makes reference , that is not poisonous in itself , but that increase the toxicity of the miscellanies .
unfortunately , a good part of the ancestral ability , of the peasant common sense , got lost , in this industrial agriculture era where the animals are only units of production and goods .
the new regimentations are going to regroup , to harmonize and to simplify the very detailed and complex sanitary prescriptions that were scattered up to here enters numerous instructions .
the number of people that wants to learn with precision what are the components is , according to my research , relatively restricted .
secondly , the agriculturists , who are the producers of ingredients of food for animals , undergo a change altogether. in the future , he/it should destroy a part a lot more important of their basis products .
the compensation is necessary even though it is clear that the agriculturists themselves are also very anxious of the well-being of their livestock .
the amendment 18 proposes to include water in the definition of foods for animals explicitly .
on the basis of these different assessments , the commission will propose to the étatses members of the measures appropriated to limit the presence of the substances concerned in foods for animals .
within sight of the amendments submitted to the adoption of this assembly , i am thankful to the parliament of his/her/its support in favor of the proposition .
to summarize , therefore , the commission can accept without reserve 15 to the 27 proposed amendments .
i leave from the principle that this time , they won't arrive there .
the commission promised that it would work there and it also announced that this list would not be ready tomorrow .
the agriculturists must simply know - and that , at least on demand and under shape of percentages - everything that these foods composed for animals contain and in what quantity .
to conclude , i would like to thank the reporter heartily , mr. graefe baringdorf zu , as well as mrs. roth-behrendt for their reports and to hope that the council will adopt a constructive attitude on the subject , so that we can succeed to a transparent system concerning the declaration of foods for animals .
all it , evidently , because of the drama of the esb that was a real novel , to several chapters .
the poisonous products , that affect the health of the humans and animals , are not acceptable .
but begin by the positive points .
the proposition to the exam is the beginning of a set of initiatives that leans on the white book on the food security .
thank you very much , mr. commissioner .
(the parliament adopts the resolution)
report (a5-0248 / 2000) of m queiró , in the name of the foreign business commission , the human rights , the common security and the politics of defense , on the demand of adherence of hungary to the european union and the state of the negotiations [com (1999) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 (co)]
report (a5-0247 / 2000) of mrs. nicholson winterbourne of , in the name of the foreign business commission , the human rights , the common security and the politics of defense , on the demand of adherence of romania to the european union and the state of the negotiations [com (1999) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 (co)]
third finally , and it is maybe the most difficult condition , the council must agree on new institutional arrangements that allow the community to function effectively , efficiently and democratically after the widening .
even though one approves the principles of the article 13 , he/it is clear that the derivative legislation that the european union pulls of it goes sometimes very far , and that there is not a right to refuse to the countries candidates a right to the cultural differentiation .
i will finish while insisting on the fact that the process of widening must make itself of progressive manner , to the rhythm of the adaptation of the countries candidates .
. (are) in the present context and within sight of the reserves that began to make itself/themselves hear about the widening of the european union , he/it is important that the parliament puts a clear political gesture in favor of this one .
. the european union , since his/her/its creation , has vocation to gather the peoples .
the criterias of the council of copenhagen of 1993 , about democratization or the capacity to sustain the competition reinforce , in communal " acquirement manner , the reign of a wild and destructive capitalism .
a flight forward in the widening , in these conditions , risk to accelerate the drifts populists and fascisantes that point here and there .
the agenda of this sitting contains a report precisely having milked to the equality of the odds between men and women , that illustrates a new time the mediocre situation of the communal acquirement in this domain .
who could deny the entry indeed , in the european house , of poland of copernicus and jean-paul ii , of hungary tortured in 1956 in budapest or the capital symbol , prague , when the democracies popular défenestraient the chief of état and crushed the people of jan palach , immolated for the liberty .
a more extended europe , to the tasks and to the more numerous duties , needs more important financial resources .
i take advantage of this opportunity to address my greetings to the aged people and to the pensioners of estonia , while hoping that one takes care of their existence means within the european union .
i don't see any reason therefore so that latvia is not admitted within the european union , if it continues to progress to the same rhythm and once the union will have proceeded to the adjustments necessary of his/her/its institutional structure and his/her/its policies to face the widening .
i don't see any reason therefore so that lithuania is not admitted within the european union , if she continues to progress to the same rhythm and once the union will have proceeded to the adjustments necessary of his/her/its institutional structure and his/her/its policies to face the widening .
some progress are as obvious , in the domain of the environment , with the setting in uvre of the " national fund for the protection del'environnement " and the application of the principle of the " pollutant - payer " .
while making enter poland in the common house , the union will show evidence of justice with regard to the new newcomer: a justice that too long has him unsuccessful .
i hope that the czech republic will join the union quickly .
. (of it) i am pleased of the queiró report on the demand of adherence of hungary to the european union and i share most findings that the reporter pulls .
i hope that bulgaria will join the union not too far in a future .
poos report (a5-0249 / 2000)
it is about a just and balanced positioning that the council of ministers must take seriously in consideration .
i hope , to this subject , that the negotiations led under the united nation aegis will be able to succeed , so that the cypriot populations greek and turkish benefit , together , of the kindness of the adherence in the setting of a republic reunified .
- (of it) i am sincerely pleased of the poos report on the candidacy of cyprus to the adherence to the european union .
however , us , consumers , we situate to the ultimate stage of the food chain and are therefore the final case of the diversions and the food counterfeitings .
he/it especially values us cur to put in uvre , to the european level , and in a concrete way , the food security since the stall until the table , or since the pitchfork until the fork .
it is precisely because we are in favor of the development of cooperation relations , really brotherly and between really equal partners , between all countries of the world , that we don't have the intention , by our vote , to guaranty a masquerade .
the council informed the parliament of it before the vote in commission , but only just before this one , separating all luck thus deliberately to reexamine the question with me or with the parliament .
in my report , i ask for a larger representation and involvement of the ngo , a backing of the responsibility with regard to the european parliament , the establishment of a yearly report that should be debated to the parliament , a degree of possible most elevated transparency , the promotion of the memory of the past like instrument of struggle against the prejudices and the recognition of the multiple discrimination .
in the same time , the interests justified of the workers must be taken in consideration .
since a high responsibility is incumbent upon the social partners with regard to the regimentation concerning discrimination on the workplace , these are the able to elaborate convenient solutions .
answering my invitation , jenny had come to attend there as coordinator of the group access charter .
convenient , because instructions and the programs of action incite , on the one hand , the étatses members to fight against the discrimination on the same principle basis and , on the other hand , the commission to play his/her/its role of guard of the treaties but also of guide in the social debate .
although the legal foundation frees some credits for new preparatory actions , their financing within this category could entail a reduction of the credits destined to other policies .
ladies and gentlemen the deputies , we have under the eyes a proposition of guideline centers necessary , but insufficient , of which we will have the possibility to improve the mechanisms once a certain lapse of time of application will have flowed out .
i hope that the commission , in light of this new guideline , will be interested closely in the discrimination founded on the sex .
i congratulate the commission , as well as the authors of the reports .
i am satisfied with the opinion of the mann report aiming to allow the organizations to ideological foundation to put , if the case arises , to the staff of the requirements to the enrollment in relation with this foundation .
the speed with which the institutions made use of the new expertise of amsterdam proves , mrs. commissioner , that the european union always preserves his/her/its pioneer's statute as regards to the equality of the odds , and it is for this reason that i would like to thank for all cur the european commission .
the fact that he/it exists in our society of the various nature discriminations confirms the importance of the program of action in presence , for what is the report of m. cashman .
mr. president , in the name of the bonino list i would like to express the alarm that we feel before the manner of which europe and the countries members treat the theme the discrimination , racism and xenophobia .
is the commissioner able to explain why the commission doesn't take into account this aspect?
the second problem that i would like to land is that the ngo , for important that they are , are invited to take care of the setting in uvre , independently of their size , their nature and actions that they lead .
the liberal and democratic group valued all positively it and notably the activity of the parliament that wanted to insist , also and especially , on the prevention of the phenomenon and not only on the good practices .
it is a challenge for us all , because we judge ourselves the other on one first impression .
mr. president , to fight and to legislate against the discriminations that recognize that they exist and even that they are , for a lot of between them , " legalized " because disguised .
the first , the cnuced , the conference of the nations united for the trade and the development , put in 1963 in geneva the compensatory inequality principle , therefore of the discrimination .
in fact , information and the sensitization don a fundamental importance in this respect , they must be an element triggering and must serve to instill a new mentality , a new fashion to think and to be , so that these prejudices again spilled in a diffuse manner in the population can be completely éradiqués and that a real parity is guaranteed in terms of right between all citizens .
he/it imports to make progress the two legislative initiatives debated today therefore , while improving some of their aspects however and while increasing the amounts planned for the financing of the program , in order to reflect the political importance of this struggle against the discrimination .
in particular , the agreement on the principle of reasonable amenities forecasting , of which sweden and ireland are the pionnières , will make henceforth so that the employers of the set of europe , adapt their workplaces , acquire special facilities and modify their methods of work in order to offer a real luck to the handicapped employees .
the article 13 is the starting point of a new objective of the eu: to fight against the discrimination or the unequal treatment of the citizens through the motives enumerated in this same article .
the second point that i would like to underline concerns the coarse mistake committed unfortunately by the commission with this first " packet " in this sense that she/it wanted to establish a list of priorities to the level of the discrimination motives .
mr. president , the discrimination founded on the religion is unacceptable , all as any other shape of discrimination .
as convinced layman , i would know therefore there myself how to associate .
however , the idea generous to recognize to every citizen the possible liberty maximum , as far as she/it is compatible with the same measure of liberty for the other , meeting again today of the obstacles - the some of fact and the other of right .
one of these instructions has already been adopted in one record time , and i think that the other has good odds to be adopted at the time of the french presidency in november .
some are not compliant to the legal prescriptions , as the amendment concerning the agreements of the commissions .
on the other hand , me then to accept the amendment 38 , that proposes to suppress the article 5 the list of treatment differences on the basis of age , which could be justified .
you evoked the important question of the contractual conformity .
it is the first time that we allow common projects in this program of action .
he/it is clear that more the code will be global , more it will be efficient .
the article 7 of the code commits the étatses members to warn all transfer of weapons toward users inappropriate finaux .
mr. president , i confess to have the nostalgia of the time where emanated , of the european parliament , but also of various pacifist movements and unions , of the incitements to think and to act in the sense of a progressive reduction of the production of weapons , and where one wondered how one could pass the military use to the civil use .
seen the situation in which is today the planet and our continent , after the end of the cold war and the rupture of the balance established by the terror of the massive destruction weapons , such a behavior would be mindless .
these weapons became , so to speak , the symbol of the anarchy in many places in the world .
the pesc covers an activity destined to treat the situations of crisis outside of the borders of the eu , and no whatever it is that can be described like a politics of defense .
their objective is to warn the exports of weapons to governments that rape the human rights , of regions in prey to conflicts or committed regions in shoppings to arming .
the commission , in narrow collaboration with the étatses members , actively participated in the development of the common action of the european union concerning the light weapons and small caliber .
the agenda calls the communication of the commission on the european space of research .
introduction of shapes of longer length intervention; intermediate between the support of projects and the institutional financing , use of the instruments to variable geometry offered by the treaty , more particularly the involvement of the union to national programs as she/it is foreseen to the article 169 of the treaty .
what we want to reinforce , it is this character of hierarchization and it depends on the level of the fashion of intervention .
you tell to consider a total overhaul of the framework program .
i think that we have need today of something that structures the european space of research , that is to say of something that goes beyond the framework program that comes in supplement from national programs; we have need of an element structuring , what means that it is necessary to accept some formulas .
concerning the reflections with the stoa , i believe that it is necessary to make something together , since the assembly , the common center of research , the institutes of forecasting presents in the different états members are concerned .
he/it seems that the commission progresses by leaps and bounds toward the realization of the european space of research .
there will be all a chapter on the sciences , the society and the citizens .
contacts took place with the authorities of greece , ireland and portugal to ask the government of these countries to accelerate the presentation to the commission of their projects to the title of the cohesion fund .
probably the absence of the service that you mention , that existed in the previous commission and that was dedicated exclusively to the fund of cohesion , doesn't permit to have more concrete elements .
my second question is the following: except the fund of cohesion , the communal setting of support exists , the structural funds , the regional programs , etc. what countries do you have receipt you did approve the definitive projects and what programs of what countries already?
in 1989 , the commission introduced a new proposition having to offer more suppleness .
i heard the arguments of m. bolkestein well and i know that the rule of principle of the treaties forbidden to tax the strangers more that the domestic enterprises , but the general law of the faithful competition in europe should apply and , when the levels of taxation are completely disproportionate , we should study the effect that the legislation concerning competition can have on the situation , and this in spite of the general rule according to which it is there about a prerogative of the étatses members .
if you want to preserve fuel , it is necessary to make it via the taxes on fuel , and no via others shapes of taxation .
i will answer m. purvis that the natural regional inconvenience question is probably the national government spring insofar as a part of their electorate is in these peripheral regions and aside .
mr. president , mrs. commissioner , i thank you for this information .
during the spring and the last summer , the commission proceeded to a general reexamination of his/her/its activities and his/her/its human resources .
we had some information in this sense .
these children , in an increasing proportion , are exploited by tourists and the business men , that for an important number among them come of europe .
the commission thinks that all enterprises will be able to get ready in time for the final passage to the euro , including with regard to the adaptation of their computer systems and their software .
this philosophico - political discussion is not anymore on the agenda but we can debate general manner of the dangers of a referendum , although maybe in another context .
it also applies to the impetus .
a recall has been sent lately to the french authorities .
with regard to the countries candidates , i can tell you that some meetings took place with them on the topic of the transportation of the animals and that some exploratory agreements have been concluded .
the commission has been informed however during the season of the seedlings of the spring of this year of the interception of seeds imported of conventional varieties of different species , of it included of cotton , containing of the traces of gm seeds .
however , after consultation of his/her/its services , i am able to inform you that the requirements fundamental of security concerning computer equipment to private or professional use are fixed by a guideline on the electric facilities , the guideline " low tension " , as well as by the guideline concerning the hertzian facilities and the terminal facilities of telecommunications .
will he/it agree nevertheless with me to say that the distinction made between the security to work and the security in class or the security for a child not working at home is not some in fact one?
maybe he/it will shake the hand of president khatami .
aung san suu kyi is today of facto in supervised residence .
i am therefore reticent to go farther as regards to the trade or to counsel other actions concerning the trade or the investments .
n question º 15 of (hs 0769 / 00):
those that told me it made reference for example to some of the electoral meetings to which they had attended .
the questions 16 to 44 will receive written answers .
what we would like , it is a strengthened european report , published and examined by this parliament .
we should concentrate on the passage to the non production of arming and no on the manner of which we are going to assure our competitiveness in relation to the other countries of the world that produce arming .
the five permanent members of the security council , that are supposed to watch over our security , should lend the ear to these propositions and negotiate an arrangement as soon as possible really worthy of the xxie century .
today's debate pose an important pole in the process of reform that the commission prodi started has a few more of one year .
i cannot stop from having the impression that in his/her/its hurry to produce a proposition on time fixed by the white book on the reform , the commission disregarded to approach the details correctly .
i propose therefore that the financial controller and the internal listener produce all two of the yearly reports giving account of their activities .
the report van hulten accentuates more again , and with reason , the distinction pleaded by the commission. he/it represents a good basis of departure for the better practice exchanges between the institutions .
let's hope that it doesn't repeat itself!
if we define a rule for the big institutions , then the principle of independence put forward by the committee of the sages must prevail everywhere .
we very often lived in the past of the situations in which process décisionnels excessively long provoked by the plaintiffs the disappointment and the loss of confidence in the european institutions .
i would like to tell mrs. commissioner that this report is only a transient stage. it means that it is about the first phase of the construction of a bridge between the system of control of which we arrange today and the system that we want to have after the reform .
there is some what consists the proposition that is submitted you .
it is only when they will be able to assume it that the sampling , the procedure of sampling , that will be her as frequently controlled , will be withdrawn .
beyond the words , we are all conscious that the task won't certainly be comfortable .
i evidently think also that we are not qualified , nor as politicians nor as technicians , to be able to harness us only to the resolution of this problem .
fortunately , the big majority of the children and the young grows in an exempt of such ominous factors environment .
i share in all points the opinion expressed by the president of the commission , when he/it insists on the necessity on establishing such a statutory catalog; it is absolutely necessary , according to me , to reinforce the principle of subsidiarity and it is necessary therefore that the eu abstains from wanting to institute some policies by the way in a big number of domains of which the political problems are not transnational .
information from the whole and touching world to all domains of the knowledge become on time accessible since the domicile the briefest. for them , to communicate with the totality of the globe is a plain thing .
stopped very quickly , they declare to the policemen: " it is funny , in the serials , one doesn't make itself take as easily " .
the legislator - me concluded here , mr. president - is not able to all to adjust , but he/it must sometimes recall the rights and duties of each .
i am also very sensitive to the remarks that have been made on the education , on the formation to read the pictures , on the young generation sensitization to have an approach critical of the medias and to not to consume whatever , whenever , anyhow .
if a report as this one doesn't succeed in achieving some progress , to improve the mobility or of the less to begin to knock the gates that hinder the mobility of the world of the education currently down , nothing will have a more negative impact on their opinion .
the problems to solve in the various countries are of various nature: for example , different regimentations concerning social security , stock market of survey , living right , tax system and lack of mutual recognition of the diplomas and practicums .
he/it is time that europe becomes attached all over again to the good execution of programs as socrates and youth for europe .
the experiences concerning mobility of the students and teachers prove that the real problems of this mobility are not so of the side of the direction of the teaching but in the domain of the social , fiscal authorities and immigration .
one mentioned the socrates program to illustrate this problem .
he/it must have a lucid inspection system , a clear control , there even though it makes itself by sampling , and especially , a ticket window , a page web , where the students can put down some complaints .
we require the integration of the group therefore targets some researchers among people categories capable to benefit from the recommendations .
it is easy to make it in a speech , but not so in practice .
the debate is closed .
we appreciate your gait , like the one of president chirac or minister joschka fischer .
the widening imposes the backing; the backing permits and doesn't compromise the widening .
(applause) europe possesses an unique cultural , social , legal and scientific heritage nourished by the variety and the national component zing .
the proposition of resolution on the reports of the commission , on which you are going to be pronounced in a little while , is on the subject rich .
it clearly appears in the report established by the finnish presidency on the women and the hold of decisions. the indicators that she/it elaborated will permit to value the achieved progress .
beyond this conference of the ministers and the symposium on the professional equality , two very important texts , specifically dedicated to the equality , but raising the council " use and social " business deserves to be mentioned .
the second is relative to the principle of non-discrimination , of which the one founded on the sex .
in the setting of the yearly reports , i would like to add - and the chairwoman in exercise also approached this point - that one of the main problems to which are confronted the eu concerns the existence of thick cultural differences evidently .
the reports of which he/it is here question also give this impression .
we must look after what the guideline on the equality is really translated in the legislation .
i believe that this method , applied in the first place by finland , is usable in several domains and , from the moment she/it is part of the strategy of the equality of the odds of the commission , we can wait for some of good results .
in the name of the equality of the odds , the french women conquered , thanks to europe , the right to work the night .
as french citizen , this vision of the world i am especially foreign .
in spite of these remarks , we will vote this report because , of course , we are favorable to the equality of the odds , but the equality of the odds , it is above all the respect of each .
those that remove to the mothers the liberty to raise their children without being remunerated will receive the invoice later , under the shape of juvenile delinquency and vandalism .
to this topic , i recall our report on the splitting of the pension rights in case of divorce , so that the benefits for the survivors and the age of the pension are integrated in the guideline of 1979 .
the polish women were us very thankful to have specified that the representative who was present didn't even relieve the polish woman position .
a presence increased of the women to government's levels and in all domains is essential to reinforce the democracy and to encourage and to maintain the peace .
while finishing , i would like to evoke the situation of the women in the countries that prepare their adherence to the european union .
also the members of the council , and notably the men that there siègent , they have here to assume the essential mission that consists in leading europe in the fight against the maffia that organizes the bill of the women. because this shape of esclavagisme is not of the kind of problems that can make responsible political actors shrug the shoulders , nor that they can drive back or can disregard .
we can deduct the reports and interventions that we analyze today that the problem of the equality of the odds is , as a lot of between knew it to us , a structural order problem and that , to approach it , the global strategies are necessary , because the women are neither a category nor a homogeneous social group , and even less collective .
it is true that i was a little sorry to see that maria of belém roseira didn't occupy this station anymore .
two among you evoked new social rights , of new fiscal rights .
third , they constitute the basis of a strategy with regard to the european union - even for the fundamental right charter , the fact to have had a view of the present situation played an important role - but they also offer the possibility of it to the national level , since the étatses members can henceforth , thanks to the comparative assessment , to define their national objectives .
the common discussion is closed .
it is necessary to see these amendments in the new context of the agreement interinstitutionnel and , therefore , the parliament can compromise in not insisting on these amendments of comitologie since that , in a certain manner , they have been passed by the new setting interinstitutionnel .
nevertheless , i continue personally to think that the text approved at the time by the parliament answered the new realities that ensued of the home market and the liberalization of the markets well better , insofar as the elements of clarification and control that the non accepted amendments introduced guaranteed the respect of the regimentation and the application of the same procedures more .
if we want that the countries third accept the compromises , must the european community be the first to apply to look after the respect of his/her/its own norms , because if a country on the occasion of to introduce some products on the communal market by the bootlegging , would reason take it works hard it to negotiate an any type of concession with us?
in the same way , the amendment of the parliament concerning the declaration of the illegal , that has been adopted by the council , will allow the customs administrations of the étatses members to equip itself/themselves with the instruments of management automated the most modern .
but he/it is too late now because the vote has just had place and the deputies voted in his/her/its favor .
votes (continuation)
report (a5-0198 / 2000) of mrs. dybkjær , in the name of the commission of the rights of the woman and the equality of the odds , on the yearly reports of the commission on " the equality of the odds for the women and the men in the european union - 1997 , 1998 , 1999 " (com (1998) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999) (com (1999) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000) (com (2000) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 (co))
. it is not the first time that i express myself on the mobility of the students and the body teaching .
this report is especially important than it intervenes at one critical moment for the european union , the one of the widening .
the discrimination doesn't fight itself by the creation of supplementary administrative services , but solely in the head of people .
. i didn't vote the mann report , because if it is effectively necessary to search for the equality of treatment of people concerning use and work , again it would be necessary to not to push the goodwill to the point to abandon all protection of the liberties and all respect of the right état .
being a convinced layman , i was not able to myself there to associate .
the snp is pleased of this guideline and his/her/its objective to put an end to all discrimination on the workplace .
if we want to return the acceptable and executable guideline , this one cannot be overloaded literature and of desires that don't have their place in a legislative text .
the eplp gives out strong reserves however for the following domains .
some elements would also have to , to our sense , to be let to the discretion of the étatses members , as the general terms of application , the organization of the formations for the workers of some groups of age , the nature of the mediation system , and the way whose pmes must interpret the guideline .
in this interview , van hulten makes notice very exactly that only the resolution of problems as the fraud , wasting , but also the lack of efficiency in the process décisionnel , will permit us to start with a positive diary .
the reasons of the orientation of my vote one milks , in a large measure , to the question of the closeness between the european union and the nato as well as to the impulse given to the common defense politics .
one evokes the european weapon exports there also like a means to solve the future local conflicts in the neighboring geographical zones of europe .
on the other hand , i would know how to accept only one formulates the necessity of a politics of common defense and an european politics of security and defense .
the children are the first victims of the violence to the television .
i am pleased of the realization of this survey .
a group of experts will also be constituted to the communal level. he/it will have for mission the creation of a memorandum establishing general principles for the protection of the miners in the context of the medias .
dybkjaer report (a5-0198 / 2000)
he/it is especially interesting that , for the first time , is raised the necessity to pursue the assessment of the efficiency of the political initiatives by means of the yearly reports of the commission .
peru
mr. president , peru lives moments of uncertainty currently and we feed all hope that the present situation is solved by the slant of a process , guaranteeing all civil laws and political and contributory to the backing of the democracy and the peace in peru , where 25 000 people died during the last fifteen years .
the word in question is the word " democracy " .
mr. president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions in which took place the elections in peru in may of this year were unacceptable .
b5-0793 / 2000 , of mrs. ainardi and other , in the name of the group of the european unit left / nordic green left , on the situation of the women in afghanistan .
i am delighted therefore with to note that the report contains some clear and precise points on the situation of the women and that it attracts the attention on the necessity to try to intervene in order to prevent that the regime of the taliban doesn't continue its uvre of total discrimination of the women .
the ue has an important mission .
he/it can have there notably recognition on behalf of no état member , so much that the politics of violation of the human rights will be maintained , of systematic discrimination with regard to the women .
we must take account of this reality , within the european institutions , and because the cultures of drug are used to buy some weapons .
she/it will sustain resolute manner the neighboring countries however , so that they improve their possibilities of struggle against the drug .
i think that the moment came to recall the necessity that the european union begins to draw a global politics opposite the countries of latin america that could avoid maybe that these countries cross situations of crisis periodically as those that some knew .
mr. president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and the assembly greet the father's liberation last week jesuit spanish alejandro matos castro .
b5-0782 / 2000 , of m. haarder , in the name of the group of the european party of the liberals , democrats and reformers , on macedonia ,: relative legislation to the higher education and to the universities;
it is the reason for which we are very happy that the problem of the higher education found a really positive solution maybe finally .
for my part , i see a good example , for all neighboring countries , demonstrating there especially that the teaching doesn't serve that to propagate the hate - as it is the most often the case - but that it can be also the cradle of a cohabitation pacific multiethnique .
i would also have wished that this solution is approved by all parties represented at the parliament .
i can take advantage maybe of the opportunity to underline that the commission could already be pleased of his/her/its collaboration with the high representative , mr. sieve stoel der .
we don't lead this debate solely today to express our deep grief. we especially lead it to examine what happened , what are the reasons of it and how we are going to remedy the situation , how we can , as commission and european parliament , to make so that such events don't repeat themselves .
in any case , mr. president , we agree with this common resolution proposition that we sustain as she/it is drawn , to the title of the emergency , and on the basis , he/it goes from oneself , of what i evoked previously. we are in disagreement with the amendments that were also set down to the title of the emergency .
for the amendment on the conditions of work , there is a pertaining guideline , the formulation of the amendment is not as satisfactory as the text .
it is simply unacceptable for the islands of the north and the west of scotland , as for the potential itinerary of crossing of the north sea toward the european continent that will be , i hope for it , inaugurated in a near future .
i am happy that the greek government annulled this exemption in the meantime .
it is why , following the wreck of the ship express samina , the commission immediately asked the greek government to provide some enlightenments on the application of the communal right in force .
i would wish to raise the question to know , and i ask you to solve this with the office , if , after the suppression of friday , the suppression of thursday didn't already begin a certain side .
this problem is not solved and so much that it it won't be , the international financial institutions - the imf and the world bank - won't be able to help the democratic serbia. therefore , it is necessary to work also to the level of the nations united with the countries of the ex - yugoslavia to find an agreement that can unblock as quickly as possible , when the moment of the liberty will have come in serbia , the economic helps - by the slant of the imf and the world bank .
in these instants is going to be played maybe in the streets of belgrade the advent of a democratic change where the recourse to the violence will be able to be avoided .
we condemn all acts capable to be considered like a provocation , in particular with regard to the holy places in jerusalem .
in relation to middle east , we , the europeans , agreed an effort - venice , madrid , oslo , stockholm - and we sustained the promotion and the development of this process truly .
the most shocking fact concerns the use of fragmentation bullets by the police and the army israeli; these bullets , that explode in the body in score of pieces and that are forbidden on an international scale , even in the fights opposing some soldiers , are now used against civilians .
i believe that europe can and must make a lot in this sense , with clarity and decision .
it is necessary to all to make to stop the fire in progress as quickly as possible therefore .
provocations as the action of sharon ariel must not occur .
it is all over again the case today , and it is what will prevent and prevented europe , during all these years , to play a role of mediation in middle east , abandoning this role in the only united states .
we won't sacrifice the serbian people to our nobles moral objectives because it could mean the death of thousands of people in serbia and in yugoslavia .
to conclude , mrs. chairwoman , i propose to send a parliamentary delegation as quickly as possible and as soon as a new yugoslavian government has been formed , in order to establish the plans of reconstruction of a new serbia in collaboration with this new government .
mrs. chairwoman , ladies and gentlemen , we live a historic day obviously within this parliament , that will mark the end of one of the last pillars of a totalitarian dictatorship maybe in europe .
mr. president , there is a problem , the german version of the compilation concerning the emergencies - i don't know if it is also the case for the other versions - contains the propositions of amendment of the group ford solely , but no proposition of resolution , nor even the common text .
mr. president , i would wish to attract the attention of my colleagues merely on the battery that shows what documents us had need for the votes of this week .
if the parliament could propose some amendments to the decision of the council , it would probably underline unemployment and the social problems in croatia that are due to the regime of austerity imposed to this country. yet , legal basis doesn't exist for such amendments in this context .
it is there the opportunity to claim the same objectives with regard to the activity of the eib .
mr. president , we landed last night , to the very breast of this assembly , the question of serbia and the revolutionary changes that produces themselves of it .
i wish to convince my colleagues also , and especially the council , to remain , at the time of the negotiations of the next months on the budget for next year and the years following , most faithful possible to the proposition of the commission , that , according to me , constitute on this day the best global cost evaluation in croatia and in other parts of balkan .
in 1990 , the democratic elections organized in this country were judged equitable and free by the international opinion .
i say therefore yes to the financial help , yes to this guarantee and i invite the commission energetically to help this deeply european country massively and governed henceforth truly democratically and according to the principles of the right état , to associate it to the candidates to the adherence , because i believe that croatia deserved our unconditional support .
all as the reporter , i wonder if money destined at this end will be really available , especially as it seems that enormous funds must be provided shortly to serbia and that the budget of the union is not reviewed to the rise .
the delegations of the croatian parliament and ours have they also invited the council to spread the mandate of the eib .
i hope that contacts will become knotted quickly and that , as for croatia , a help will be bestowed to the serbian people , that deserves our biggest respect .
(the minute is approved)
in this same mind , we invite the women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation: there will be a call tuesday and wednesday and us will harvest the signatures and the involvement to the delegation , in the express intention to construct , between women , of the bridges of peace where reign the violence .
on the whole , there were sufferings more for the basques and for the spaniards; it is certain that the spaniards and the basques are tired of the present conflict .
mrs. chairwoman , you probably remember that , at the time of the last session , i had evoked the situation critical of a democratic militant , the british james mawdsley , that was detained illegally by the burmese authorities .
mrs. chairwoman , in what concerns me , i would like to speak makes some the regulation .
actually , this technical appearance report , that doesn't seem to bring big political order modification , is extremely important insofar as , surreptitiously , he/it introduces the possibility to practice the genetic engineering in viticulture and therefore to succeed to a genetically modified viticulture .
if we don't approve the report , there will be some delays .
the council of state - as you told it - rejected this recourse and informed us duly of this dismissal .
but today the situation repeats itself and concern a colleague , certainly of the ppe , but no of my political camp in italy .
it is why we plead actively for the introduction of a social control panel , was like that the case for the home market , with lucid measures , the deadlines and delays .
i hope , mrs. minister , that the council will be inspired by the waitings of the parliament and that you will succeed , at the time of the summit of nice , to fix ambitious objectives in an european social diary to which us will be able to tackle then during the next years .
following the council casual " use and social " politics of last july 8 in paris , the presidency had asked the set of for the concerned actors - european parliament , of course , economic and social committee , committee of the regions , social partners , ngo , groups and committees of the council - to announce him their propositions .
to oppose the quantitative to the qualitative is a false debate and lisboa clearly fixed an objective duplicate: more of jobs and the jobs of better quality .
it is necessary to encourage this mobility , while assuring the professional trajectory security .
we must try to sum up and to describe the hiatuses of the system and , in any case , we must put them in the diary .
we estimate that the open coordination constitutes the good way to follow toward a social europe .
the setting in uvre of the ambitions sociétales displayed in lisboa calls a communal effort , a plan of action for the creation of jobs in the services , notably those bound to the society of information .
the commission can provide an important contribution naturally , but the social problems are anchored on a local scale , and one must treat them while greatly taking into account the different concrete contexts .
the social acted like proofreader of the most ominous effects of the economic policies .
the proposition presented to the origin by the commission would have been much better without amendment - congratulations , mrs. commissioner .
it is an ambitious diary. i remember again how much we advanced laboriously concerning social protection during the previous legislature .
i think that it will be very positive and will help the women to reconcile domestic and professional life .
i sometimes have the impression , that , under the concept of modernization , one often thinks about to empty the social protection of his/her/its substance .
what are the elements fundamental of the content?
it is even difficult to define the european objectives that will be equally in force for all étatses members , since a various reality exists .
49 amendments have been presented to the commission .
it is therefore important that we provided guarantees concerning the possibility that the non governmental organizations will have to influence on the process .
another point is that the community must intervene more in the evaluation of the supplementary initiative needs , including , if the case arises , the adaptation of the regimentation , the equality of the odds and the struggle against the discriminations .
it is not that the good ideas and the good plans to arrive to the equality missed in the past , but their setting in uvre often failed .
it is not normal that the voice of the women is monopolized by a handful of professional of the demand living thanks to the public denier drip .
the equality of the men and women in the civil life , that permits to the women to enjoy the human rights and the fundamental liberties fully .
i wait that the masculine actors finally interest themselves of it and that they fight the stereotypes and the out of date sex roles .
i believe while we must thank it for having followed this debate , since his/her/its presence was not foreseen during this discussion .
politics of competition
we must offer to our enterprises the best possible conditions so that they can organize their production and especially their future .
they must have a large choice of products high-quality sold to competitive prices: it is , finally , the reason for which it is necessary to promote the unique market and , in the same way , the free competition , because it benefits to all our citizens .
it is about the decision to bestow or not to bestow helps in the sector of coal .
the point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report evokes the worry to improve the legal security at the time of the demands of fusions , and to make more efficient and faster the calendars applicable to the procedures of call .
in any case , it is about public corporations that owe their strength no to an impeccable management of the business , but to the past and present positions of monopoly .
he/it is necessary to us to imply the citizens more in information on the politics of competition , so that he/it recognizes the advantages of it .
they have a considerable significance for the use and the regional politics and i wish that one understands it well in the future , so that these helps , the interior helps , that have some implications for the regional development and the economy of the regions , and where the transportation take value of example marks , can be pursued .
this communication contains three important messages .
i thank m. evans as briskly for his/her/its excellent report on the regimentation concerning helps for état to the steel-making industry and on the eighth report of the commission on the helps of état in the european union .
i would like to reassure mrs. palacio and mr. karas therefore , as well as the other deputies who intervened on these points , and to tell them that the regulation takes extensively into account their preoccupations .
otherwise , we would serve our objective , to know how to encourage the competition and the consumers , in a perverse manner .
the common discussion is closed .
the mechanism of financing is the application of the article 119 of the ec treaty , that only remains in force during the third phase of the economic and monetary union for the étatses members that don't participate in the unique currency .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i am pleased that we can discuss again today of the proposition of guideline of the council modifying the guideline 68 / 193 / eec concerning the merchandising of the materials of vegetative multiplication of the grapevine , and i hope that tomorrow's vote will be positive .
some among them threw , july 5 , the call of beaune , where they express all their concern facing the introduction of ogm in their profession .
the rules that they foresee are otherwise favorable to the production of a plant material varied while offering the best sanitary guarantees , what is fundamental , to come with the restructuring of the communal vineyard , key point of the new ocm vini-viticole , efficiently .
it is necessary to say it high and strong , it was not not at all necessary to cram the articles of this guideline of references to the guideline 90 / 220 under revision , except to want to promote to all strength in the grapevine the genetic manipulations .
i have the pleasure to inform you that we can accept besides the amendments 35 to 40 , presented by m. graefe baringdorf zu , that has the tendency to reinforce the transposition of the requirements of security and management registered persons in the guideline 220 / 90 .
i would wish to make observe merely that the parliament has not been called to be pronounced as such .
mrs. chairwoman , it is about the point 14 of our minute on the demand of levee of the parliamentary immunity of our college pacheco pereira .
i will be more precise on the qualified majority .
on the level-headedness of the voices , the two very known options also remain on the table: simple level-headedness for which a light , very light , majority is confirmed , or double majority , but with different formulas , double simple majority or repondérée or a demographic " net shape .
otherwise , without prejudice of an assessment of the needs and the coordination of the economic and financial aid in the yugoslavian federal republic , that will be confided jointly to the european commission and to the world bank , the european council of biarritz decided to grant to the yugoslavian federal republic a first humanitarian help of emergency of 200 millions of euros .
but see you , ladies and gentlemen , if i had to tell you spontaneously and very sincerely my feeling , i would say this: whatever is the sensitivity of these questions - composition of the commission and system of vote - it is not on this basis that one will be able to measure the failure or the success of nice .
positive was also the approval by the chiefs of état and government of the charter of the fundamental rights , but it is necessary for me to recall however , mr. the president of the council , the reason that returned this possible approval .
as we must not make die of boredom the mind of nice , our fundamental priority during the 50 days that remain will be to raise the negotiations to the political level .
in this sense , i would like to address also to my colleges of the european popular party - and i ask m. poettering to listen to me - because what we defend in this assembly , we must defend it outside .
from what we know results gotten by the prime ministers and presidents in biarritz on the questions highly delicate of reform of the treaty , the charter will probably be the most beautiful success of nice .
the council would meet the waitings indeed european citizens while throwing a big consultation of the populations , of the national parliaments , permitting to succeed to a charter answering the needs indeed .
it is necessary to throw an invitation therefore to all to return to the origins of our union , to have the courage that mr. giscard d'estaing and mr. schmitt had while deciding the election to the universal suffrage of the european parliament in 1976 and in 1979 and to decide that in 2009 we will finally have a president of the european union , president of the commission .
i would like notably , in this respect , to answer what mr. poettering said on the cleavage between the big and the small countries .
i come back merely of a word on the business of outside commercial politics , because it is quite a topic serious .
it is nevertheless something precious that has been underlined by all members of the european council .
another very positive point was the adoption of the charter in his/her/its totality .
beyond , he/it seems me that on this crucial question for the future of the european union and his/her/its fashion of decision , biarritz marked some points and we can only congratulate ourselves of it .
i hope that we will be able to convince again , to progress , to prevail over this point in nice .
i mention two concrete examples: on the one hand , one passes the right to work to the right to work and , on the other hand , a certain number of social rights understood in the social charter reviewed of the council of europe are not in the charter .
he/it is clearly evident from the proceedings that take place everywhere in europe , including those of biarritz , that the étatses biggest members look for , in part , to make pressure on the étatses smallest members in order to reform the european union in accordance with the political line followed by the biggest étatses and also according to their desires .
the unhappy of the two sides are the proof for the negotiators that they move toward a just balance .
the leaders of europe didn't formulate a lucid vision .
a commission structured on criterias of representation of every état betrays a conception little visionary .
one would have a centralized union then , that would let to the small countries less influence than the system of the american bicameralism let some to the federal étatses of small size .
after the summit of sharm - el-sheikh , where all concerned parts were united to find in spite of all one descended to the crisis of violence and to re-establish the dialogue between barak and arafat , we could note , although there was this instant where it seemed to be able to succeed , that it is extremely difficult to contain the violence .
of bad informants , obviously , make m. barón tell of the things that are not true about italy and my party .
it is necessary that we accomplished some progress concerning taxation of the energy in europe. this last underwent a total blockage until now because of the principle of the unanimity .
we can only permit gets settled a situation in which the small étatses would come to fear a drift toward solutions of directorate .
i estimate that the convention provided excellent work and i am proud of can have counted among his/her/its members .
in this second case of face , the question will be to know at what moment will operate this principle of the strictly egalitarian rotation between big and small .
the extension to true topics of the vote to the majority qualified with the joint decision , the preservation of the article 250 as he/it is today , the place and the role of the commission in the reinforced cooperations and not only on the first pillar: there are some of the elements that will permit us to judge instantaneously if there is , at the end of the account , failure or success .
mr. president , thank you to jacques , first , in jacques delors , thank you in altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , thank you to all , of vaclav havel in carlo ciampi , of joschka fischer to jacques chirac , of michel barnier in pierre moscovici , of chris patten in costa simitis , while passing by florence , and by the present european deputy multitude that took , since 1999 , the big movement for an european constitution .
let's not criticize europe too much bargains , and it is a socialist who tells it to you: she/it gave us more of wealths for all .
let's grant ourselves at least on this objective , and since we make it , let's say how there to arrive .
mr. president , i had the satisfaction to note that in substance , the propositions presented to the intergovernmental conference lately go in the same sense that the whole or a part of the criterias that i exposed .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , gentlemen the reporters , ladies and gentlemen the deputies , you wished that we have , this morning , a debate on the questions by the way of which your assembly estimated necessary to complete the relative opinion in the intergovernmental conference that it had returned in last april .
thus , while respecting the constitutional setting existing , he/it seems difficult to me - i tell it to you - to foresee more that a procedure of consultative opinion of the parliament at the time of the starting point .
you know it well , it supposes that we make some political choices , of an a lot bigger range than the regulation of the three stated requirements higher .
i have myself underlined that the formula kept for the charter was a way to explore .
but i understood well that beyond the linguistic aspect , your question hid another preoccupation .
here is as reason i wanted to thank you , and on the bottom and on the shape , of the initiative that you took .
the reinforced cooperation setting up should not drive to the creation of new organs that would come to be added at the institutions of the union .
he/it is time to review the treaties .
the refusal of the european council to integrate the charter of the rights fundamental of the union in the founding treaties , to make thus juridically these rights coercive and to allow this manner the citizens whose rights would not have been respected to reach the european judicial court , door reached to this fundamental consensus .
without it , one won't get this europe of the citizens and citizens , according to me .
paragraph 8: the constitution will treat - i mention - " of the questions let open " .
no one was able again to explain me what would have changed since then .
secondly , in relation to an insufficient diary , that let particularly important question side for the future of the union and the interest of the citizenship .
mr. minister , one tells that on the eve of the bolshevik revolution - an event that had to have disastrous consequences everywhere in the world - the russian orthodox church was dived in a complex debate on the style of the ceremony dresses to carry during the lent .
it is therefore imperative that cooperations offer all guarantees that the reporter recommended , that they are open to all , in the respect of the mind of the treaties , and that they don't go in opposition to the communal acquirement .
there is a point however that i would wish to accentuate: he/it doesn't seem correct to me to require or to privilege the way of the obligatory referendum in all countries members for the approval of the amendments proposed .
we had a debate very fed on two questions that , although different , meet in a point .
we are ready to make so that she/it can be put to the vote during the session of november , so that the text can be adopted under the french presidency .
(the parliament adopts the resolution)
what does the introduction of the possibility mean " to retire progressively part-time " via work , if that is a threat yet well already on the age of the retirement too elevated in number of country?
everybody knows that the pensioners , as the children , like jams .
i asked the pensioners who elected me here , to the european parliament , with the party of the pensioners if he/it would please them to drink the genetically modified wine .
or , by derogation , to put on the market of the multiplication standard materials , when the needs cannot be covered by other categories .
i ask you therefore , mr. president: don't the variations of the work cost constitute , for this reason , them also a limitation to the free competition in the european union?
he/it was therefore unavoidable that we voted against this report. .
in spite of the measures taken in favor of a bigger deregulation within the european union , the helps of état always have a constructive role to play in the social and economic development .
these helps can prove to be indispensable for the protection of the environment , the public service maintenance and the guarantee of an equal income level to the economically underprivileged region inhabitants .
we underline the risk , after the consecration of the control of the eu on the important état helps , to see this one targeting the helps of a weak amount while invoking the competition made to the pmes .
vi section , economic and social committee ,
if one consults the billbooks of execution of the budget for the categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , one notes that only an average of 8% of the set of the engagements are covered by payments .
three years ago , we tackled of it via our initiative for the use while helping the small and middle enterprises to get the capital to risks .
the parliament wants to make it two manners .
it is then only that the european institutions answer their mission .
i take advantage of the opportunity to thank the vice-president responsible for the budgetary questions , our colleague gerhard schmid , for his/her/its constructive collaboration , expressly .
we want that this committee is able to work but we can only tolerate it is the place where the requirements of the european parliament , as branch of the budgetary authority , meet the less echo .
it means that the exercise 2001 is the last fully-fledged budgetary exercise and it is in this context that it is necessary to value the proposition of the commission and the one that we submit to the parliament .
we want besides that one examines the administrative expenses .
since 1985 - i say 85 well - , the commission of the budgets of the parliament endeavors to get that the procedures of the european parliament take in consideration the financial impact of the determination that the parliament votes .
i finish , mr. president , while thanking the other institutions for their diligence in the treatment of this conjoined declaration .
you are called today to pronounce you on a budget that has already been amended in first reading by the council .
concerning the structural actions: the amount of the structural actions has been taken back globally in relation to the budget 2000 .
the attitude of the council with regard to the financial perspective revision is serene .
when one examines these different numbers , one notes that subsist more considerable differences on the merely quantitative plan but also , naturally , as regards to the bottom .
in this respect , i must signal that , last year , a new decision has been taken with the council to the term of a long debate and i have little hope to be able to take this debate .
the financial scheduling decided in berlin for the period running until 2006 planned 8 ,1 billions of euros for the meda program .
i would like to ask the council therefore as well as to the commission of the budgets to think in terms of foreign politics and not only in terms of budgetary politics , when they take care of foreign politics .
the second concerns help to bring to the victims of the violations of the human rights who need treatments in specialized institutions .
if a solution of compromise capable to push the important work of the emac committee came to clear itself/themselves during the time that remains us , we could adjust this question again; otherwise , the position of our commission remains open .
he/it is sufficient us to remind it to us day after day to light our television sets and to note that middle east crosses a difficult period .
it is why i hope that we will arrive in spite of all , at the time of the vote of tomorrow , to the necessary majority for the observatory of dublin .
mr. president , in the name of the commission of agriculture and the farming development , i would like to make some remarks and notably to begin , about the farming development .
we asked for the approval of a credit indicative of two millions of euros for a campaign of information on the pcp .
the european commission must negotiate with arguments of weight to come to a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned must bring as for them a political support to this negotiation .
we consider today the budget 2001 , while having in head the pictures of the serbian population .
on the whole , we would like that these amendments are approved .
however , an important way by which the citizens can insure that their preoccupations are taken in account is either the call to the mediator , either the consignment of a petition to the parliament .
i will start with speaking of the budget of this assembly .
to the surprise many members of my delegation , we have , beginning september , established a strategic platform unanimously. thus , the 400 amendments introduced by some of my colleagues constituted a surprise for number among us to the commission of the budgets .
it is indeed difficult to imagine how new stations could solve the problem of management if , to the commission as to the council , these are more complex procedures of another age that are used to put in uvre many programs .
these last years , this parliament showed regularly that it based his/its works on a real parsimony .
he/it is unacceptable to speak , during years , of manner very wave about engagements and to reaffirm them regularly if it is to say , when it is about making his/her/its accounts , that this in is too much for us and that it is necessary to trim now on our promises .
if we only place some poor wretches millions on these lines - and we hardly can more - , we will agitate a carrot that we should withdraw when these people will really have need of it .
as the budget of last year , the budget 2001 was confronted to almost insoluble problems: on the one hand , the pressure in favor of the funding and the required politics , as agreed in the agreement interinstitutionnel , in order to assure the financing of the widening; on the other hand , the crying need of financing of the stability pact for balkan .
to require better performances implies staff as more .
the adoption of this amendment , in his/her/its initial version , could have begun to change the deal , but a majority of the commission of the budgets rejected this idea .
and there , alas , the examples are numerous: of the privileged treatment granted to the associations to federalist vocation or to the numerous ngo to the function , to philosophy and to the working of the most questionable , to the financing of the european political parties , while passing by the is swallowed in the program prince , to tempt to persuade the citizens of the étatses members of the merit of the euro as the european currency knows a loss of confidence extensively shared by the europeans , of our danish friends until the leaders of the european central bank .
to finish , our colleague heaton-harris underlined understandably , in the amendments that he proposed , the character one-sided many european programs to the means of which one serves a whole propaganda to the citizen about the european integration , and it to his/her/its own expenses , note it well .
besides , our administrative systems must be modernized. we must also give the good example .
the meda program , dedicated to the mediterranean basin , geographical zone of the highest strategic importance , constitutes a good example of the lack of execution capacity .
when one speaks about making some reductions or to take money to the category 4 to give resources to some priorities , it is not necessary to forget what are the priorities of the assembly. we made to this fact appear clearly at the time of the vote in commission .
this amount must be the object of a clarification therefore .
thank you very much , mr. wynn .
it means merely that true elements of suppleness exist to advance on such or such politics , even when someone is not able to it , or doesn't wish it , and what is worth for the countries of the union is also worth for the countries candidates .
i think that austria doesn't have to complain about what occurred , well on the contrary .
the regional organization recommendations as well as the neighboring country experiences will probably contribute to the definition of these means .
in 1984 , 0 ,2% of the colombian owners possessed 32% of the earth .
the council is not there to comment such or such aspect of this question that is extremely delicate and painful .
at the same time , one is not able to either to hire a debate like that on questions that are , once again , extremely complex .
n question º 10 of (hs 0722 / 00):
therefore , i will avoid well to give a definitive answer to this difficult question .
merely , we have the feeling , and your answer testifies a few of them , that the presidency of the council is not a lot of volontariste in the treatment of this question .
therefore , the income of this tax won't be evidently hopeless .
me also me they excuse some , but we are going to apply the regulation .
if the right side of the room remained silent , it is therefore that we already treated earlier these questions and to our opinion it is useless to come back several times on the same themes in this room whereas our time is precious .
otherwise , in the waiting of the adoption of this guideline on the prevention of the encephalopathies transferable spongiformes , a decision of withdrawal of the materials presenting some risks to the look of these illnesses has been taken in june 2000 , in order to stop all new progression of the epidemic and to assure to the consumer the possible most elevated sanitary protective level .
i don't have any other elements that those that i could communicate you in a little while .
we follow and we know the work of the commission and the council well on the packet erika 1. but , about this passage , that is known of the two countries and known within the european union , that is a particularly difficult passage , borrowed by thick boats to win some hours only , with the risk that comes to be stranded and to provoke a disaster from old rafiots , i would have liked to know , and especially the inhabitants of corsica , of sardinia would have liked to know , if he/it will be possible and if you consider forbidding the passage of the mouths of bonifacio merely by these thick boats , these thick containers .
it is for this reason that i think that we must , in principle , to sustain the propositions of the commission for the revision of the politics concerning staff .
it is necessary to inject cool money in the budget for serbia and the kosovo .
i hope , mr. president , and i finish some by there , that one goes nevertheless to amputate the lines of the budget of 50 millions of euros to finance the agreement of israel peace / plo .
it is the reason for which we will propose , to the european parliament , of new measures that will serve less to look for a new financing - we know that the present conjuncture doesn't permit it - that to seal new compromise interinstitutionnels that will improve the quality of the expenses and will stay up to that that no euro is wasted .
wonder that in european politics , as in all other domain , the moderate options sometimes stop being majority .
he/it is conceived to darken rather than to illuminate , and i have been disappointed by the attitude adopted today with regard to budgeting by activity .
the fact to ventilate the expenses according to the activities permits to consider the budget as political instrument in which the ventilation of the expenses reflects precise political priorities .
we must find a multi-year solution in order to not to must , year after year , rediscuter every time the manner of which we could find money in favor of the reconstruction of balkan .
those that are interested in the development of a lasting agricultural sector don't ignore that the central dynamics of the recent reform , as she/it has been invited in berlin , constantly move " of help to the raw materials to the direct support of the incomes of the agriculturists .
a budget , dear colleagues , is always well more that a simple dance of numbers .
finally , he/it is immoral , mr. president , to reduce the expenses for the agricultural politics , for the meda program , for exclude them social , in order to clear resources destined to finance the engagements of the european union in the kosovo and in yugoslavia .
in clear , he/it agrees to avoid that the serbian population doesn't suffer from the cold weather and the hunger during this winter .
otherwise , i would like to show my concern to see the different parliaments of the young integrated in the socrates program .
of course , he/it also agrees to tell clearly to the council that he/it carries a part of responsibility in the insufficient development of some programs outsides .
we now need a steady solution concerning these helps , especially when it is about their long-term scheduling for the western balkan .
i think that most people would be ready to accept such a cost , provided that this money is used to good knowledge .
i share the preoccupations and arguments that the reporter , mrs. rühle , evoked tonight concerning research and social helps .
two weeks ago , held the assembly parliamentary equal acp .
in a same time , we want that some budgetary means are invested in the fund for research and information , in order to search for alternatives of production for the present producers of tobacco .
i want to specify clearly that the european union had the influence the more direct and most positive than one can imagine on ireland the north .
in this model , the respect of the norms and procedures is assured by an independent authority and , in last process , by the judges .
we will have thus , for the first time , a joint decision in first reading on an extremely complex text and sprinkled of technical difficulties , relative to a particularly sensitive sector for the individual liberty protection .
he/it is quite positive that one didn't unite in an unique authority their respective tasks .
one knows for example that the schengen system stored more of ten millions of cards concerning close to a million and half of citizens , that europol constantly sees his/her/its expertise widened , centralize the information coming from different services of police of the fifteen étatses members , and that , under the only control of an authority of which nor expertise nor the means are not placed at his/her/its disposal to allow him to accomplish another task truly .
it says , i take advantage of the commissioner's presence to say that he/it would seem appropriate to me to worry not only of the citizen's protection in relation to the new technologies , but also of the use of these technologies to promote the capacity of the european citizen to intervene and to interagir with regard to the european institutions .
the amendments numbered 1 , 2 , 4 to 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 , 58 and 60 to 64 take the text of the council for the points where the commission can mark its agreement .
he/it goes from oneself , from then on , that his/her/its opinion on the legislative propositions that concern the personal data protection will be very precious insofar as it will constitute an important contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions .
the treaty recognizes indeed to the regions ultrapériphériques a difficult economic and social situation , aggravated by particular handicaps of which the permanence and the conjugation carry seriously prejudice to the development of these regions .
she/it will contribute to the promotion of the economic and social progress thus thanks to an elevated use level .
i congratulate mrs. sudre therefore and we wait with impatience for the modes of application of the propositions of the commission so that he/it is taken account shortly of the specificities , in accordance with the article 299 , paragraph 2 of the treaty of amsterdam .
for a lot of europeans , some regions ultrapériphériques is only tourist destinations on the card .
our rates of unemployment are among the most elevated of the union .
i am delighted that the commission adopted to a large majority the amendments that i had presented .
he/it is very important , in my opinion , that the regions ultrapériphériques is integrated in the networks transeuropéens of the transportation , the energy and telecommunications .
the adoption , to the unanimity of the members of the commission of the regional politics , of the report presented by our colleague margie sudre is a testimony of the fidelity of the european parliament towards one his/her/its most important engagements .
we cannot debate a set of circumstances and can believe that since the ideal and idyllic point - call it so - will have been reached , it won't be more necessary to adopt other measures in the treatment of these three zones and , more particularly , of the regions ultrapériphériques of which he/it is question here .
this article , ladies and gentlemen , don't certainly permit us all to make , but he/it permits us to reinforce and , i think that it is necessary , to widen and to improve our action .
for the preparation of the propositions that is necessary , the commission evidently collaborates with the étatses members and the regions concerned .
in these regions , we know it , there are some difficulties for a long time and i believe therefore , objectively , according to their real level of development , that they will have need for a long time of the support of the regional politics and particular measures .
a meeting of this kind could be organized all over again during the year 2001 , when we will be advanced more in the realization of the program presented in march .
the presidency declared that it was closed and i perfectly accept it .
i believe that the parliament does well to hold itself/themselves of it to the present rules because , as another colleague told it , very often , in fact , these are not the machines that didn't function , but the deputies who forgot to vote , and if one could correct a vote thereafter , we would never finish some .
i am obviously what i eat .
finally , mr. commissioner , in addition to the authority , it is necessary that the competent services of the commission , in collaboration and in coordination with the étatses members , establish a homogeneous and efficient control system in the whole food chain and that the network of food laboratories of the european union is reinforced and work in coordination with the commission .
he/it agrees to avoid all duplicate use as regards to the activities and the scientific research , what implies a collaboration with the national and communal centers of research .
today , we discuss on one white book and we have interest to define a few big principles .
now , these procedures have been amended and have been modified and we have our own national agency of food security , the food standard agency .
finally , we will also sustain several new amendments , more precisely the amendments 11-13 , 7-9 and we wish to have a vote in conscience on the amendment 14 .
in this context , i would like to say of straightaway that the food security depends entirely on the organization by the rigorous control authorities - controls that are as rigorous as the weakest link .
he/it is clearly evident from the exam of this question how much is superficial and empty the debate that we lead on the political unification of europe .
let's confide to the european authority of the food security the only scientific experience , in link with our national agencies , therefore .
if one makes the summary of the progression of the main illnesses of food origin that affects europe currently , most actually made their first apparition in america .
it is nevertheless imperative to define the conditions of seisin of the food security authority to guarantee an efficient and fast action .
we should also underline , like some previous speakers , in particular mr. whitehead and mrs. gebhardt , that the white book is well more that a new authorized setting within the european union .
mr. president , i feel at a time today a satisfaction and the recognition , on the one hand with regard to the commission that hired this work in favor of a better food security , and on the other hand towards m. bowis and the set of the commission the environment , the public health and the politics of the consumers .
the amendment 17 appears especially important to me. he/it foresees that one asks for advice to the organizations of consumers .
another aspect is the organic revision of the norms on the labeling , so much for the sale on the whole that to the detail , a revision that finally gives , thanks to the traçabilité of the products and their ingredients , a correct information to the consumers and permits the possible responsibility determination in case of risk or crisis .
in my opinion , the development of a new legislation is not a good answer to the failure to respect of the existing legislation .
at the time of the vote in commission of the environment , we succeeded in re-establishing a certain balance while inserting in the domain of application the relative questions to the nutrition and other essential references to the role of the small and middle enterprises in the food habit safeguard .
mr. president , i would like to join my colleagues and to congratulate the reporter , mr. bowis , for his/her/its approach very constructive and very logical on this specific problem .
mr. president , the fact that the white book on the food security has no legislative value carries prejudice not at all to the double value that it dons definitely .
the reporter , as well as good number of european deputies members of the commission , of which myself , put the accent on the food authority , what is made of it a few regrettable .
the independence and the autonomy of the organism are the assets that serve to best the european consumer interest .
me i am said a lot of times , during all this time , that we had had luck with the reporter's choice .
mr. president , i am anxious to congratulate our colleague mr. bowis to have endeavored himself really to integrate all points of view in his/her/its report and especially to have accepted that we also referred to the most general notion of the food .
in short , mr. president , the politics cannot back out of its responsibilities .
but especially , he/it must win the respect of his/her/its equals and the confidence of the public and must bring the governments of the étatses members to accept his/her/its findings .
this is how i consider a future european authority of food security .
there is the world organization of health in geneva .
i don't hide either , that to the publication of the white book , i was against the creation of such an authority .
it is necessary to look therefore after what the european union has most elevated standards possible of food security , but this conception - unanimously shared - must analyze the economic consequences that it misleads for the sectors concerned by a requirement of production also .
the tasks of the agency will be then the following: research independent scientist , consultation , inspections and independent controls , as well as a fast alert system , but surely also a task of coordination in order to restore the confidence .
by the way , i would tell the speakers who made reference to the question of the necessity to appear sensitive to the local or traditional product promotion that this question is covered by the legislation concerning hygiene .
this consensual climate will facilitate the mission of the commission when the moment will have come to submit a balanced proposition that takes account to the maximum of the opinions exposed by the parliament and by the numerous taking parts in the domain of the food security .
to tell the truth , this topic was these last years one of the driving forces that led , of the political view point , to the signature of the convention of ottawa .
i recall my opposition to the amendments 10 and 19 for worries of budgetary consistency and , for what is the amendment 29 , i ask for the vote by blocks in order to have a better formulation of the text that suffers to my eyes of interpretation problems
here is that raises a first question. the european union and especially the commission owes all to make so that the countries that didn't make it again sign the convention of ottawa .
- (of) mr. president , dear colleagues , we know all impact of the mines antipersonnel , although they often don in some particular cases of the military justifications import .
it is he that raised for the first time , in 1996 , the question of a horizontal budgetary line and the creation of an adequate legal basis in order to provide an unique to the very numerous actions platform undertaken in this important domain .
but i cannot overlook the fact that the persuasiveness of the union to reach this objective collides somewhat to the reticence of some états members that balks to sign and to ratify the convention .
the struggle against the mines wins in efficiency when it adapts to the conditions clean to every situation .
the parliament knows that some already exists greatly too much and that thanks to our propositions of reform of the outside communal help , we hope to subtract ourselves to the heaviness of the control of the individual projects and to concentrate our proceedings with the étatses members on strategies and the global programs .
the ngo proliferated to answer the needs. and yet , strength is to note that about four years after the first conference of the nations united on the mines antipersonnel that held to geneva and more of one year after the entry in force of the convention of ottawa , many countries and of the thousands of people in the world , the most often in the poorest regions , continue to undergo the terrifying consequences of the mines terrestrial antipersonnel and of the munitions non exploded .
it is necessary that the commission improves the quality of his/her/its programs and the speed of their at a time setting in uvre .
however , i think that , if you browse them once again in a very attentive way , you will notice that there are several amendments that you mentioned that , in my opinion , carry on countries of sensitization , on the transparency , on the access reserved to the ngo , on things that function very well at the moment but that could function again more efficiently .
mrs. bonino and mr. patten are also right to declare that the parliament and the council should not take care of the administrative questions , and i listened to the remarks formulated by m. patten to this topic very attentively , because he/it estimates obviously that we would have to even less to occupy of it to us .
mr. president , has well a long time that our group actively intervenes on all the fan of the demands and measures that imposes themselves , since the interruption of the production , the destruction of the stocks , the stop of the merchandising , until the operations of mine clearance , the rehabilitation of the victims and the sensitization , .
to the étatses then to sustain the process in the international surrounding walls .
the mines represent a major obstacle naturally to the reconstruction of these countries and to the return of the refugees .
to the rhythm where we go , has been said like that before , we would need more than 100 years well to rid the planet of the mines antipersonnel .
the third domain concerns the concrete measures to propose , to control and to execute .
for every child that us protégeons in bosnia , in africa and elsewhere of the death or the horrible injuries generated by the mines , the efforts that we provide all are justified .
it is necessary to make pressure effectively on the countries of the european union that didn't sign , as finland , or that didn't ratify , as greece .
my dear colleagues , look in finland!
finally , we hope that the future tasks of strength military european township will foresee the formation of technicians , especially of people having a local interest in the disappearance of the mines .
one doesn't underline either that the list of the countries the most seriously reached is composed mainly of developing country .
the propositions of the european parliament would not know how to be more in contradiction with the objectives of lisboa .
the reporter , mrs. van lancker , wishes that the parliament decides to modify the proposition of the commission , mainly as there adding some domains for which the legislation is appropriate , and on the other hand , while defining a certain number of rights to the european level .
this is how the process of luxemburg , that applies to the politics of the employment , should be spread to the social protection and the social exclusion .
the biggest powers as germany , france , britain and , to a certain extent , italy , are all okay to submit to their domination the small countries of oriental europe or the south that ask their adherence the european union .
however , we think for legal reasons that it is a mistake to refer from now on to the article 6 of the treaty instituting the european community , because she/it doesn't have can be adopted positively within the convention - because of his/her/its structure - and doesn't have a legal existence therefore .
he/it thinks that the inclusion of a new text in the treaties risk to sow the legal confusion .
otherwise , the reporter makes himself/itself the echo of the new theory in vogue in brussels , the supposed double legitimacy of the european union ,: the one of the citizens represented by the european parliament and the one of the étatses represented by the council .
the deputies swedish and danish social democrats voted this day against the report written by m. olivier duhamel on the constitutionnalisation of the treaties .
it is essential that the european union evolves toward a constitution that incorporates the fundamental right charter .
a constitution would not have a sense that if it constituted the democratic setting of a real european federation , of united states of europe .
he/it told us to have believed to understand , in agreement with a big part of the political class , that we preferred to govern our relations with the other countries by an international treaty .
. (of it) i welcome the report of m. duhamel like an interesting and constructive contribution to the idea of the constitutionnalisation of the treaties .
they think that a reorganization and a simplification of the treaties would allow the citizens to surround the field of the responsibilities of the eu , his/her/its limits , as well as the procedures of exercise of the responsibilities better in question. the charter of the rights has been prepared on the basis of a convention implying the national parliaments , the european parliament and the government's representatives .
until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe was a terrific intergovernmental union .
the edd group voted against the report gil-robles gil-delgado on a reinforced cooperation .
he/it shows the conception of an union indeed many too monolithic , where all cooperations should express themselves inside the " unique " institutional setting , and where they would have to all to be directed toward the objective of the terrific état .
it is necessary to avoid to slow down the march of the whole therefore and therefore to allow some états members to go from the before while developing the reinforced cooperation mechanism .
the operational structures of the unique market were always a success since the beginning of the years 1990 .
. (nl) cooperation to the european level can be useful to solve the problems transfrontaliers .
these zones could be a great laboratory concerning lasting development .
the technocrats , the european judges , wanted to suppress " the concession of sea " that nourishes in resources our townships of the doms thus and especially protected our craftsmen .
on the other hand , france possesses some territories of overseas in the indian ocean and in the caribs .
his/her/its independence will be an indispensable element to his/her/its credibility .
our vote clarified the role and the composition of the future european authority therefore , but specified our requirements concerning his/her/its financing and his/her/its independence also .
in second place , the european agency must be completely independent .
it is necessary to take into account the agricultural and agro-industrial practice type , of the problems of the food goods imports , of the composition of the ingredients of foods for animals , of the levels maxima of dioxines and residues of pesticides , of the food and other components , while granting the priority to the food security .
we voted for the amendment 15 because we are very strongly attached to the defense of the european cultural heritage bound to the local food production .
we don't have a margin in nearly no category .
we would like to write down 50% also to the budgetary line and to put 50% in reserve .
i note here that to decrease this budget aims of other propositions .
report (a5-0300 / 2000) of mrs. haug , in the name of the commission of the budgets , on the project of general budget of the european union for the exercise 2001 - section iii , commission (c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 (bud))
mrs. chairwoman , i appear like signatory of some amendments of this report .
(the parliament adopts the resolution)
the true surprise of this budget is about the outside actions where dominate the selfishness and the meanness .
other resources could be unblocked by means of the instrument of flexibility .
i voted against the haug report , in the same way as i voted in favor of the proposition of my group for the dismissal of the general budget for 2001 .
we refer in particular to the new pilot project that will finance the actions of information in the setting of the struggle against the child molestation .
it shows , of a certain way , the few of incentive that the european project causes , even among the politically active citizens .
20 to 30% of the markets will be offered to the private competition thus again .
since all it is not guaranteed in the presented report , i voted against the report .
if one combines the low level inadmissible of the national limits , that decimates the bonuses , with the reductions proposed of the quantities of withdrawal - 5% for citrus fruits , 8 ,5% for the apples and the pears and 10% for the rest of the fruits and vegetables of the volume destined to the market - one understands that , for big quantities of products transformed to basis of fruits and vegetables , there won't be any exit for the distribution. it would have like result the global decrease of the prices , the putrefaction of the products in the fields and in facilities of conditioning of the cooperatives , accommodating thus the agriculturists to unearth that that they cultivated .
i voted for this report because he/it corresponds to the waitings of the portuguese organizations of the horticultural sector , that claim a change severe of the ocm on the fruits and the horticultural products considered deeply harmful to the national interests .
report johan van hecke (a5-0296 / 2000)
this problem plunges its roots in the sacrifice of all and all , even of the quality of the environment and the climate , on the altar of the capitalistic exploitation of resources and the excessive profit .
the rich countries had decided in kyoto to take the cleaning of their own atmosphere in charge , even though he/it was also allowed them , in strict enough limits , to write down on their own list of results the reductions of broadcasts that they help to get elsewhere .
. the struggle against the greenhouse effect is a major stake for the industrialized countries , a duty notably towards the peoples of the third-world that already pay for their life the consequences of the climatic warming up .
all the art consists in accommodating itself/themselves of it in an intelligent manner .
it will be necessary to assure also and to reinforce the effort oriented toward the detection of the substances suspected of endocrine heckler beings , maybe in a legislative setting .
the consumer and the small and middle enterprises don't benefit enough again the home market , of which the introduction of the euro dedicates the completion .
besides , these last obliged the banks up to here to communicate the transfers transfrontaliers of more than 12 500 euros in their bank central at the ends of statistics of the balance of the payments .
these enterprises should satisfy naturally to identical requirements in matters with security and scalding .
we even have knowledge of case in which expenses of transaction for payments transfrontaliers increased after the introduction of the euro , and it in non negligible proportions .
the european central bank could contribute there while imposing a formula of transfer standardized for the payments to the european level , as well as while sustaining the institution of an unique norm for the numbering of the financial accounts within the system international iban .
it is essential that the consumers accept the euro .
mrs. chairwoman , the report of mrs. peijs , relative to the payments of detail in the home market , takes the old demand of the european parliament on the cost raised of the transfers transfrontaliers within the union .
the peijs report says it himself in the d preamble of the resolution project. i mention: " the elevated expenses bound to the transfers transfrontaliers harm to the confidence of the consumers in the euro " .
we have many therefore again to make in this domain , but on this point , resources and the means of the policies are limited more that what we can make for this question of the payments of detail in the home market .
the market of the euro is felt like an interior space and the citizens don't understand why , in this space where the risks bound to the change are hopeless and where the electronic payments , notably the banking transactions by the internet , are more and more currents , a transfer between munich and salzburg is a lot more expensive than a transfer between munich and kiel .
the realization of this objective will ask again , to you as to us , of numerous years of work .
we will also take advantage of the opportunity to consider the shortening of the delay of execution of the payments transfrontaliers for that the report of mrs. peijs asks insistently .
the debate is closed .
he/it seems good politics however to prefer a pragmatic gait and of proximity , that places the small enterprise to the cur of the device , rather than a proposition that , under pretext to avoid the saupoudrage , would only serve to produce statistical just whose concrete use would be perfectly impossible .
concretely , i have three observations to formulate on this program .
let's recall that the first communal action program in this domain has been adopted in 1983 , that means seventeen years ago .
otherwise , i wanted to reach these objectives always via an efficient and pragmatic politics .
i would say that these are real economic commandos and of innovation , being in first line and very exposed to the inherent risks in this domain .
we will finally have to hold account of the results of the works of the symposium " sciences and governance " that were held , last week , in brussels , under the aegis of the center of technological forecasting of seville , as well as of the follow-up of this symposium , because there are numerous interferences with the topic that we treat today .
the reporter retails a set of priorities aiming to reinforce the european enterprise mind .
it is excellent for the picture of europe because one can help people in a fast , correct and competent way .
mr. president , i also want myself to associate me to acknowledgments for the excellent work provided by mrs. montfort .
the important , it is to find the happy medium , to avoid that of no don't fail continually to costs of the other .
it is not just and i sustain this report therefore!
such is also the leading principle of the charter for the small enterprises .
the program will make so that the networks provide this information .
it is obvious that the main goal of this plan is to suppress the emigration toward the countries of the european union , as well as to repatriate the people who live illegally in the union .
i especially underline the need of setting up of measures for the improvement of the interior security , the backing of the dialogue between the europeans and the regional authorities of albania and , with regard to the commission and the council , the promotion of particular actions in cooperation with the albanian , italian and greek authorities .
the social , economic and political report absence , combined to the lack of security and to the organized criminality clear on fluxes of mass emigration .
mr. president , contrary to my colleague pack , my opinion is that more will have groups that will take care of albania , better it will be .
he/it is not well sensible possible to find a solution immediately to the problem in his/her/its whole , but to a few longer term , the goal is to create a world of fairness and reason , that offers to the men the security and of the future possibilities .
a ditch also exists between , on the one hand , the donors , that means us all , europe , the united states , that give the money , that elaborates some projects , and , on the other hand , the people who work on the land .
let's use the bilateral agreements therefore , which , in a legal and lucid manner , will define works , the living length , the living place , the remuneration , the hours , the conditions of work and social security , so that the emigrants become thus a strength that will enhance savings of our countries and will contribute to the friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to the culture of nationalistic and worthy aspirations of the cold war .
the men and women are sent back whereas they had integrated more or less .
the priority must not be given to the means to limit the fluxes of migrants or refugees , but to the manner to improve the conditions of life of the region so that people don't have to leave their home .
mr. president , i also believe myself , as said it so well mrs. dimitrakopoulos , that he/it remains in the center of what constitutes the difficulties of albania - economic , social and of internal security - the question to help this country to re-establish his/her/its state of right , to confer the security to his/her/its citizens , to re-establish the authority of his/her/its institutions and his/her/its local administrations .
i share the opinion of our colleague liese , according to which we have need to establish a distribution of the loads of the politics of asylum and the politics of the refugees .
the plan of action for albania has been adopted in june of this year , and it is therefore the sixth of the kind .
one notes , in the population , a diffuse frustration , but also an ignorance of the communal right. we wish to invite the european parliament as well as the other communal institutions to not to move back before the small laborious works , to work with precision , to dedicate the time and the necessary staff to the achievement of the tasks .
with this report , we want to show to the citizens that we take their relative complaints seriously to the very mediocre quality of the legislation as well as those relative to the regionalization and to centralization excessive .
the treated topic is of course essential , even though the number restricts present people to debate some doesn't let it suppose necessarily at first sight .
besides , and it is there about an essential point , the report approaches the question of the subsidiarity , that , tonight , raise the controversy in this hemicycle .
it would be also very interesting that she/it makes a state of the places of the legislation , in light of this principle , to make more she simple , more transparent , more efficient and more applicable while ridding it of the superfluous texts , as the invites the paragraph 6 of this report there .
after having studied the report with a lot of attention , i happened to from it to the conclusion that it even is not about a political principle but of a theological principle .
it is necessary to guarantee the recognition of the subsidiarity principle therefore until the smallest communities , to the autonomous realities , to the intermediate formations , to the social formations , to the families and to the citizens who are the unique real sovereign of the legislative and administrative action .
i am going therefore to give you a synthetic vision of the situation .
i give the speech to m. the commissioner .
is this a domain where we should evolve toward a detailed regimentation , with the guarantee that she/it will be put everywhere in uvre or would have to us to evolve toward a voluntary agreement , so long as he/it can be put in uvre and controlled?
- (of) if i voted in favor of the report , even though some of my amendments have not been adopted , it is because he/it also bends on the question of expenses raised of change and transfer in the zone euro .
when , in about fifteen months , the same pieces and tickets will be introduced in eleven étatses members , he/it will be more expensive to obtain this new monetary unit outside of the country where one lives .
mr. president , mr. commissioner , dear colleagues , i would like to start with saying that i regret that the commissioner of the fishing , mr. fischler , cannot be among us today .
this one must encourage cooperation concerning fishing and the sector of the moroccan fishing and at the same time to satisfy the interests of fishing of the european fleets fully .
we succeeded consequently to a consensus working in the perspective of a responsible partnership , after what morocco will present its point of view at the time of a meeting that will be held , as you underlined it , in brussels , october 30 , that means monday .
some weeks ago , i am myself myself returned to algeciras , on the coast south spaniard. it is not far from morocco .
with the passing of the time , we could observe that they were not only difficult but also that they could become impossible .
by the slant of the fishing agreements , the european union can exercise activities of fishing and exchange prerogatives of fishing with countries third .
i read in a swedish technical magazine on the fishing how one of these boats disembarks his/her/its hold in el aaiún , that is described like a moroccan harbor .
all it is put to the test. it is the set of our agreements of fishing and not merely with morocco since there is also mauritania and soon guinea , among others , - that are put back in reason .
one took eleven months to arrive from it to the point of inflection where we are currently , to know the meeting of the 30 and , in this sense , we know how to appreciate the last measures valued by commissioner fischler also , the results of his/her/its journey of the 26 to morocco and the interviews held to a high level , including with the king himself .
but i would like to transmit to the commission , represented today worthily by commissioner busquin , some very brief messages .
my question to the commission is the following: if one doesn't come to an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is concluded in the terms signalled by the commission , an agreement that stimulates the moroccan production , the commission thinks it to adopt structural measures to compensate the delay who will occur in the affected regions?
as we imagined it , the difficulties of negotiation with the moroccan authorities were big .
finally , to the case , regrettable , where the negotiations would fail , the union has the political and moral obligation to sustain the fishers and the owners by satisfactory and capable helps to assure them means of subsistence .
it is necessary to reduce the overcapacity of the industry of the communal fishing .
it is why we have need as soon as possible of narrow economic and political relations with morocco , while defending the interests of our european fishers at the same time .
it is why the commission works on the basis of a new partnership aiming a development interesting the two parts with , on the one hand , the complete development of the sector of the fishing of morocco , the fleet , the aquaculture , the commercial transformation , research and , on the other hand , the concession of fishing possibilities to the european fishers .
right of the language professors
the difference is clean , and not only in german language .
in july 1999 , the commission carried this procedure of infringement before the judicial court .
therefore , unless one succeeds in harmonizing the systems - for what we hope - at the moment , the respect of the subsidiarity principle can only permit one makes pass for a discrimination that that , more probably , is the demand of a pri
