we know very well that the current treaties do suffisent not and that it will be necessary in future to develop a structure more efficient and dissimilar to the union , stature more constitutional which indicates clearly where are the responsibility of member states and what are the competences of the union . messages of concern to begin with the difficulties of economic and social that we traversons , despite a growth supported , fruit of years of effort on the part of all our citizens . the current situation , particularly insupportable for many businesses in transport indépendantes and for agriculture , must be améliorée . reaching agreement on the procedure is a good thing in itself , but we must ensure that this system would not servir de force of frappe policy . they too have now understandings clear rights that they must comply with . i can support his warning against the relapse , which seeks rely on methods intergovernmental . we are very much to want a union of states nations . the rapporteurs have stressed the quality of the debate and also the need to go further . of course , i can only the rejoining . i thank likewise all those who gave me aimablement reproché of not making this speech earlier - in the latter , i would say that , before i make a speech , we must learn , ascertain , évaluer forces at work , because the briefing policy must always be realistic and close to the reality and objectives that we fixons . i would like you parte of this closer cooperation in order to give some examples of the new potentialité european . the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . i voterai in favour of the draft regulation . the reports by the court of auditors no european cessent elsewhere to meet these sous-estimations , from greece for portugal . consequently , we have not voted in favour of this report . according to the défenseurs of these bus , they are not only fondest market and can be spent the whole world , but they are also more écologiques because their use of fuel in passager is less high . the role of the ' benchmarking ' in terms of diffusion of best practice throughout the eu is also emphasized . a charter constraining and overall , listing of rights that should be fully respected , is likely to cause difficulties in a stade ultérieur . these i would like to thank both for their tremendous commitment . we do not believe not , however , that this dialogue will already be achevé in nice in less than three months , and the only reason enough to explain our refusal to accept the proposal for inscrire the charter into the treaties on the occasion of the nice summit . the group csu within the european parliament is happy that the present draft charter of fundamental rights rassemble and rende high-profile fundamental rights which have citizens vis-à-vis the organs and institutions of the eu . it is in the image of europe liberal-minded which is being achieved . indeed , i would have liked the freezing of the charter , so that we can continue to work , as proposed by a great deal of non-governmental organisations of various eu countries . ( a5-0248 / 00 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ) ; i would therefore also you propose that parliament will present anymore , next year 's report general but confines itself to reports in national to show that we attachons by a further différenciée negotiations . i think it is then that , on the basis of the work that has been undertaken by the présidences preceding and by the commission , the french presidency will be able , at least i hope , to provide , at the nice summit , a view pretty clear from the accession process . i have said and i have no difficulty in the restate here , the french presidency will éludera any difficulties which are appearing , which does not mean , of course , that we will have the time and resources to deal with each of them . this question is , of course , perfectly legitimate , but we must respond deduced correctly and accurate . enlargement is a broad perspective that we must tackle together with many of générosité and with vision . all the results of the intergovernmental conference does répondraient superseded by the gigantesque pressure that puts enlargement in terms of adjustment . the second change is important that we are faced with which europe must adapt is the accélération foudroyante regarding the development of economic progress on a global market and competition worldwide . quarto . it follows on from that the principle that countries which have started off the process has a good chance to catch up with those who have begun sooner . in the areas in which investments considerable and long-term are required to fulfil the requirements of the eu , we should bear in mind that the current members took part in such cases , sollicité long transition periods . with regard to security of frontiers and the fight against crime interviennent also our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . regardons the reciprocal trade that there are currently between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . i was content that commissioner starts at last to speak about informing the public to tell her that the fears which have been mentioned , has no of raison d ' être . but one thing is clear - and i am pleased that mr verheugen 's has once again soulignée : it cannot be a period of transition in terms of respect for democratic rules . in this respect , we need the help of the commission , because even if the will is there , the munitions are sometimes défaut . it is essential to ensure that we can , as the european union , we set targets in carrying out of our own reformes in-house . however , we do not agree with some aspects and questions of essential . this is detrimental to the european union , with its future autonomous vis-à-vis america 's north and also to defence and security policy in europe , because it creates risks with russia and other countries . we hope that there will results and that we are not to refer to another intergovernmental conference which must be done to ensure that enlargement can take place . i serai brief as i have indeed been , since i have given three minutes of speaking time at my maiden speech . it is very important and in this respect , i am pleased that the commission is working towards an information campaign which commissioner verheugen wills , both large and decentralised . but - and this will be my last word , because i want to make myself quite clear : i am not a pessimiste in this respect , i do staking out " small bras ' , i would like an option fiercely towards enlargement - to be credible , we must also be serious , we must also be aware , we must also be able to garner the accession of the peoples of the peoples of the candidate countries and of our peoples . at the moment i cannot see any need to discuss the financial perspective in relation to enlargement . i cannot now express it in connection with any of them ! moreover , it is for the same reason that they have also expressed the view of joining the european union . we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . i have seen entrust the work of rapporteur about estonia . as a member of the party modéré , i am extremely économe when it comes to tax-payers ' money . only then , i semble-t-il , pourriez-vous you make an idea of what the lettons have done in recent years . this is not enough ; the whole of the strategy must be more tourné towards the citizens . lithuania has a full potential appréciable of economic growth sustainably . by all the more wide-ranging and it relates to the cooperation of the european union with the federation of russia . i now turn to the next item weak : the support of the public , both inside and outside the european union . as a result of a policy of fiscal intelligente , the investments directs strangers come montaient , last year , in addition to 5,45 billion euros . we should not be immiscer , surtout pas we in the allemands ! democracy slovak is développe deduced stable , which has not always been the case . i would propose , in this speech to stress and reconvene the six points in the development of the situation hungarian which deserve to be put in exergue with the prospect of accession to the european union . i am pleased to note that this issue has been envisagé in the report ceo on enlargement presented by mr brok . it is also and above all the case in the field of nuclear , where the concerns are legitimate , about the safety of nuclear and environnementale are likely to be exploitées by the lobby anti-nucléaire . the formation of a group of high-level is something that i recommande to my colleagues . the report which i have the honour of you subjugating and has also been adopted unanimously in committee , notes that the part of the territory contrôlée by the authority lawful remplit criteria polices in copenhagen . to this end , a role clef reviendra , without prejudice , of course , the role characteristic of the commission , in our high representative for the cfsp , mr javier solana . however , the problem headline which malta should face is that the government and opposition jugent unequally the accession process and that the european union is committed to the fluidité of that process . even between the usa and the mexique , levels are more survivors . that is why we are discussing , within the internal market , on a strategy réfléchie , flexible and to the extent of the challenge . however , i should also enabled us to state my respect for the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe which eurent courage in ten years ago , in descendre within the rue and who have contributed to branle this process . the information society is important for industry , old or new . we also cannot be left to éblouir by the pourcentages of community law transposé into national legislation . but the 10 new countries in europe eastern miss out on such oncle of america . this also applies , and that is dégradant , for the transportation of animals vivants towards the abattoirs . for any legislation majeure , we envisageons now to impose an assessment of the effects on health . my report for opinion must also speak of the european union and remarking that funds europe for the regional development cannot continue to be octroyés on the basis of a simple division comptable between regions . elmar brok has begun justified in his speech by pointing out that we are all bénéficiaires of enlargement , in particular to which we situons of this côté-ci from the border external front . the development of transport fluvial inner will be essential for reasons écologiques , because we must ducking quantités freight from the roads , and if we are unable to transporter on rail , we must use the mechanisms fluviales . we have also talked about egocentricity and even to populisme , and the fall of the course of the euro has certainly not helped to improve things . the message we want to convey to the candidate countries reads : ' do you laissez not dérouter by the scale of the reports and documents which lie ahead of you . unfortunately , there is currently too many parties who have lost their idéologie and which evidenced by means of a idéalisme inadequate and a matérialisme excessive . if it is différer entitled to acquisition of terrains and logements to use familial , différons-le . it is up to now , but is certainly menacée by the lack of transparency bureaucratique and the resistance manifeste , quoique not public , of certain governments . where are , moreover , the millions of jobs promised by the maastricht treaty ? while we are about to revise the treaties , some member states are already in a new reform . the vast majority of enquêtes international on this subject are exigencies of gains for the whole macroeconomic , linked to enlargement . however , exception creature of minorities insignifiantes , any political group is putting into question the main objective of the common slovène , which is to become members as soon as possible in the european union . if the european union is élargissait quickly , there should be the désintégrer steeply . it is proposed in the position on the enlargement of the eldr . in my view , it is clear that the regime institutionnel prescrit has many implications long-range on the health of orphelins . i would ask you therefore to support the amendments along these lines . and even we in hommes political europeans do not understand why not quite well the process of negotiation . cyprus will become a kind of pont towards the countries of the region . i would like to négociateurs the continuation of the success of their work in this area , important . a second form of communication is also essential between our countries and for the candidate countries , so that they explain what is the european union . we cannot be allowed to lose even more of the élan which existait early years 90 . mr president , first of all , as rapporteur socialists for the report on the romania , i would like to congratulate him on his excellent work . it is for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , we set up this challenge , also vis-à-vis the fears of our own citizens , and to return to the breathtaking - the european ambition and a vision of pères fondateurs of europe . i have unhappily the impression that , despite all the fine words and the numerous chapters that the council has examined thoroughly implemented , this enlargement process does not support either mu by an energy policy is needed . many eu countries have affronté problems similar at some point in their development and can adviser bulgaria in order to help it to surmonter those whom it has to face up to now . democracy is not just a question of majorités . it is also a question codecision route to minorities . the candidate countries must be found on an equal footing and their accession should not dépendre than their own development . at the same time , we should acknowledge the efforts consentis by countries such as lithuania which rattrapent , so to speak , the time lost . we therefore do well to extend our system of rights and freedoms until rumania and that is another reason to be done valoir within the framework of the debate bemoans with the european public . however , it is a matter on which the ralliement being made , namely that of enlargement . my group therefore supports the curtailment of periods of transition in the field of environment with a maximum of five years . mr president , we must give a élan positive for enlargement . the debate is certainly paved with regard to the order in which these countries will join , because it will also examine the state of avancement with their reforms in-house . i welcome the report is a very positive about slovenia and efforts considerable work in that country to meet the copenhagen criteria . as the head of delegation , i was able to make relying on many occasions , like the commissioner . in my opinion , the proposal is worthy of being taken into account . these forms of violence and exploitation of women must be henceforth condamnées and combattues across the board , both within the eu and in the accession countries . in conclusion , i would like to seize this opportunity to look joindre in many confrères , which i share the pensées and concerns , and emphasising the need to look at last attentively to the question of the borders of europe and , flowing from the scope of its enlargement , as opportunité , for the european parliament , to rédiger a report special about this . the minutes of thursday yesterday was distribué . thank you . we happens from time to other recalling correctly in this chamber , that a people 's europe must be a europe in which community legislation is protecting their rights as it suits them . i shall put to the vote the request to report on the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . we know that these substances and products indésirables are very rarement of substances on the toxicité violente ; but it is a question of substances that are accumulent eventually within the body which have a duration of living long , such as dioxins , the aflatoxines and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . it is not possible to find the perpetrators . if we autorise this dilution , we must at least in notifier services monitoring and it is important to state publiquement that these dilutions exist because this problem must be made public and make up for public debate . we must put in evidence in is as follows : the dioxin crisis was the result of acts criminals contravening the regulations already in existence . mr president , i should like to thank my colleagues who have spoken before me . it was a impérieuse necessity . for example , for the flour to poisson , the value boundary is different from that which is proposed for products originating in animal unreported seafaring . it is time to rompre with an interpretation fallacieuse the principle of subsidiarity , which seeks to every day further enhance the tutelle in brussels on our nations . following the example of the rapporteur , i believe that all these measures are justified , as it is appropriate to consider the case of these substances which she refers - which are not toxin per se , but which are increasing the toxicité quantities . unfortunately , a good piece of knowhow ancestral , for common sense paysan , have perdus , in this ère of farming industry where animals are no more than units of production and commodities . the new rules will regrouper , harmonisation and simplification of prescriptions sanitaires very detailed and complexes who were previously éparpillées among many directives . the number of people who want to hear precisely what are the composants is , in my recherches , relatively limited . secondly , the farmers , who are the producers of feed materials for feedingstuffs subissent already have a sea-change . in future , we must sideline some much more conspicuous by their products of basis . the dédommagement is necessary , even though it is clear that the farmers themselves are also very soucieux the well-being of their cattle . amendment no 18 propose explicitly to include water in the definition of feedstuffs . on the basis of these various évaluations , the commission will propose to member states adequate measures to restrict the presence of substances involved in animal feed . in view of the amendments submitted to the adoption of this house , i am grateful to parliament for its support for the proposal . to sum up , therefore , the commission can accept unreservedly 15 of the 27 amendments tabled . i pars assumption is that this time , they do parviendront step . the commission has promised that they are travaillerait and it has also announced that this list is not ready tomorrow . farmers must simply pretences - and this , at least on request and under form of pourcentages - everything that contiennent these compound feedingstuffs and in what quantities . in conclusion , i would like to warmly thank the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , and mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and hope that the council adoptera here a constructive attitude , so that we can achieve a system transparent about the declaration of feed . all this , of course , because of the tragedy of bse that has been a real novel , on a number of chapters . the products toxic , which affectent the health of humans and animals , are not acceptable . but commençons through the points upbeat . the proposal under discussion is the beginning of a series of initiatives that are appuient on the white paper on food safety . thank you very much , commissioner . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by astonishment queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by mrs nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of the romania in the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] thirdly and finally , and this is perhaps the paves the harder , the council must reach agreement on any new arrangements institutionally , which enables the community 's fonctionner effectively , efficiently and democratically after enlargement . even if we approve of the principles of article 13 , it is clear that the legislation derived from which the european union in tire is sometimes very far away , and that there is no reason to reject the applicant states the right to the differences in culture . let me conclude by insisting on the fact that the enlargement process must be in a progressive , at the pace of the adaptation of the candidate countries . . ( es ) in the context emotive and in the light of the reservations which have started to make itself heard about the enlargement of the european union , it is important that parliament poses a gesture politics clearly in favour of it . . the european union , since its inception , has vocation to rassembler peoples . the criteria of the council in copenhagen in 1993 , with regard to democratisation and the ability to support competition tightening up in guise of ' acquis communautaire ' , the règne of a capitalisme sauvage and destructeur . a fuite forward in the enlargement in such circumstances , threatens to speed up the dérives populists and fascisantes which pointent here and there . the agenda for this sitting contains precisely a report which deals with equal opportunities between men and women , who illustrates once again , the situation médiocre of the acquis communautaire in this area . that would indeed dénier entry , within the framework of european poland 's copernic and jean-paul ii , hungary martyrisée in 1956 to budapest or of the capital symbol , prague , when the democracies populaires défenestraient the head of state and écrasaient the people of jan palach , immolé for freedom . a europe which is more extensive , the tâches and the homework more ' , has need of financial resources more important . i seized the opportunity to express my salutations for the elderly and the pensioners of estonia , in espérant that attention be occupe of their resources in existence within the european union . i therefore see no reason why latvia is not recognised inside the european union if it continues to grow as quickly once and for the union will procedurally the conversion of its institutional structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . i therefore see no reason for that lithuania is not recognised inside the european union if it continues to grow as quickly once and for the union will procedurally the conversion of its institutional structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . action is also evident in the field of environment , with the implementation of the ' funds nationally as protection del environment ' and implementing the principle of ' pollueur-payeur ' . by doing stir poland in the home municipality , the european union will proofs of justice in regard to the new arrivante : justice which it has been too short . i hope that the czech republic rejoindra union quickly . . ( en ) i welcome the report queiró on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and i share most of the conclusions that tire pohjamo . i hope that bulgaria rejoindra europe on a future pitched too lointain . report poos ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) this is a positionnement fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take into serious consideration . i hope , incidentally , that the negotiations menées under the égide un may end up in order to ensure that the people cypriots grecque and turkish benefit , together with bienfaits from accession as part of the republic réunifiée . . ( en ) i welcome much of the report poos on the candidature of cyprus to join in the european union . however , we , the consumers , we situons at stade ultimate from the food chain and are therefore the réceptacle end of détournements and the contrefaçons food . it is particularly keen to implement , at european level , and in a practical , food safety for the étable up to the table , or ranging from the fourche until the fourchette . it is precisely because we are in favour of the development of relations of cooperation , which really fraternelles and between partners truly equal , between all the countries of the world , as we did not intend , through our vote of cautionner a mascarade . the council was informed parliament before the vote in committee , but only just before it , écartant and deliberately any chance of réexaminer question with me or with parliament . in my report , i demand a more broad representation and involvement of ngos , increased responsibility with regard to the european parliament , the establishment of an annual report which will have to be debated by parliament , a degree of transparency the highest possible , the promotion of the memory of the past as instrument for fighting prejudices and the recognition of discrimination multifaceted . at the same time , the interests justifiés workers must be taken into account . as a supreme responsibility lies with the social partners as regards the arrangements for discrimination on the place of work , they are the most scrape together for joint solutions practices . répondant to my request , jenny was venue should stand as a coordinatrice group 's access charter . practicality , because the guidelines and action programmes incitent , firstly , the member states to combat discrimination on the basis of the same principles and , secondly , the commission to play its role as gardienne agreements , but also of guide them in the debate on social affairs . although the legal basis libère appropriations for further action préparatoires , their funding from within this category could lead to a reduction in appropriations allocated to other policies . ladies and gentlemen , we have before us a proposal for a framework directive is necessary but insufficient , and we shall have the opportunity to improve the mechanisms once that a certain amount of time for implementation will exist écoulé . i hope that the commission , in the light of this new directive , if intéressera of outskirts of discrimination based on the grounds of sex . i congratulate the commission , as well as the authors ' reports . i am satisfaite in the opinion of the mann report aimed at enabling the organizations in bedrock ideological to ask , if necessary , on staffing requirements in the embauche bearing on this basis . the rapidité with which the institutions have made use of new powers of the amsterdam prouve , commissioner , that the european union canning always his status as a pioneer in terms of equal opportunities , and that is why i would like to thank very much the european commission . the fact that there is in our society by discriminations in natures various confirms the importance of the action programme on when , in terms of the report by mr cashman . mr president , on behalf of the list bonino , i would like to express the effarement that we are faced with the way in which europe and the member states address the issue of discrimination , the racisme and the xénophobie . commissioner peut-il explaining why does the commission takes no account of this aspect ? the second issue that i have to address is that the ngos , as important as it may be , are invitées to deal with the implementation regardless of their size , by their nature and actions that they mènent . the liberal group and democratic evaluated all this positively and particularly the work of parliament who have sought to highlight , also and above all , on the prevention of phenomenon and not just the good practices . this is a challenge for us all , because we jugeons other on a first impression . mr president , fighting and legislate against discrimination is acknowledge that they do exist and even that they are so many of them , ' légalisées ' because banalisées . firstly , the cnuced , the conference of the united nations for trade and development , has put into 1963 in geneva , the principle of inequities compensatrices , thus discrimination . in fact , information and awareness raising points in this respect significance paradigm , they must be an element déclenchant and servir to inculquer a new mentalité , a new way of thinking and for being so that these prejudice still répandus so as diffuse within the population to be fully éradiqués and that a genuine parité is guaranteed in terms of laws between all the citizens . it is important , therefore , to make progress with the two legislative initiatives débattues today , with increased but some of their facets and in augmentant the montants earmarked for the financing of the programme , in order to refléter how important policy for the fight against discrimination . in particular , the agreement on the principle of forecasting of aménagements reasonable , including sweden and ireland is the pionnières , will now ensure that the employeurs throughout the whole of europe , adaptent their places of work , acquièrent of équipements special and modifient their methods of working together to provide an opportunity treasure officials handicapped . article 13 is the basis of a new objective e.u. : combating discrimination and the treatment inégal citizens by means of grounds listed in the same article . the second point i would like to highlight is the wrong grossière commise unfortunately by the commission with this first " package ' so that she has sought to set up a list of priorities in terms of the forms of discrimination . mr president , discrimination on grounds of religion is unacceptable , as you like what form of discrimination . as laïc passionately . i am unable to me to add to this . however , the idea généreuse to recognise all citizens with the maximum freedom as possible , provided that it should be compatible with the same degree of freedom for the other , staged still some obstacles - some are not met and the rest of law . there is one of these directives has already been adopted at a time record , and i believe that one has every chance of being adopted during the french presidency in november . there are not compatible with the prescriptions lawful , as the amendment concerning the agreements of committees . however , i cannot accept amendment no 38 , which proposes to delete article 5 the list of differences in salary on the basis of age , which could be justifiées . you have raised the important question of compliance contractuelle . that is the first time that we autorisons of projects of common in this action programme . clearly , the greater the code will be comprehensive , more will be effective . article 7 of the code engage member states to prevent any transfer of arms into certain users finaux inappropriés . mr president , i confess to having the nostalgia in time when émanaient , the european parliament , but also of diverse movement pacifistes and trade unions , for incentives to think and act in the direction of a reduction gradual manufacturing arms , and where we wondered how one could go on the use of armed to the use beliefs . given the situation in which are now the world and our continent , after the cold war and the breakdown of equilibrium established by fear of weapons of destruction massive , such behaviour is irresponsable . these weapons are becoming , as it were , the symbol of the anarchie in many places in the world . the cfsp obscures one activity destined to deal with situations of crisis outside the eu 's borders , and not enough that this is one which can be described as a defence policy . their aim is to prevent arms exports to destination of governments who violent human rights , of regions in proie to belligerence or regions engaged in open courses at the armement . the commission , in conjunction closely with the member states , has been active in the drafting of the joint action of the european union on the firearms and small calibre . the next item is the commission 's communication on the european area of research . foreword to forms of intervention of more long term ; intermédiaires between the furtherance of projects and the financing institutionnel , using the instruments to géométrie variable offerts by the treaty , in particular the participation of the union to programs national as it is anticipated in article 169 of the treaty . what we want to strengthen , this is the nature of hierarchy and it depends on the level of mode of operation . you say contemplate a tinkering full of programme-cadre . i think we need today to something that structure the european area of research , i.e. to something which goes beyond the programme-cadre coming into supplément programmes national ; we need an element structurant . that would mean that we have to accept the formulae . with regard to the comments made by the stoa , i believe we must do something together , as the house , the centre joint research , the instituts of foresight herrings in different member states are concerned . it seems that the commission is making progress with no géant towards the completion of the european area of research . there will spans a chapter on the sciences , society and its citizens . contacts have been held with the authorities in greece , ireland and portugal to ask the government of these countries to accelerate the presentation by the committee on their projects under the cohesion fund . probably the absence of a service that you mentionnez , which existait within the commission predecessor and which was devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund , would allow not to have any news more concrete . my second question is this : hormis the cohesion fund , there is a community framework for support , the structural funds and programmes regional etc. to which countries avez-vous received projects définitifs and which schemes which countries avez-vous already approved ? in 1989 , the commission has introduit a new proposal to offer greater flexibility . i have listened carefully to the arguments of mr bolkestein and i know that the rule of tenet of treaty prohibits dismiss the strangers more companies as domestiques , but the law 's overall fair competition in europe should be applied and , when the levels of taxation are totally disproportionnés , we should étudier the fact that legislation on competition may be on the situation , and this despite the settles general remark that this is a prerogative of member states . if you want to retain the fuels , we must do so through taxation on fuel and not through other forms of taxation . i will reply to mr purvis , the question drawbacks regional naturels is probably the responsibility of governments in national inasmuch as part of their électorat lies in the peripheral regions and on the sidelines . mr president , commissioner , thank you for your information . during the spring , and in the summer latter , the commission has conducted in a réexamen ceo of its activities and its resources humaines . we have had some information on that . these children , in a rata growing , are being exploited by unscrupulous touristes and people of affairs , which for a number of important them originate from europe . the commission believes that all companies will be able to be prepared in good time for the transition end to the euro , not least as regards the adaptation of their systems computer and their software . this debate philosophico-politique ceases to be on the agenda , but we can débattre in general of the dangers of a referendum , quoique perhaps in another context . this applies equally to the élan . a drum has recently been sent to the authorities in france . with regard to the candidate countries , i can tell you that the meetings have taken place with them on the subject of transportation of animals and agreements préliminaires were concluded . the commission has also been informed at the saison of semis from the spring of this year of the interception of seeds importées of variétés conventional of different species , there comprise cotton , containing traces of seed gm . however , after consultation of its staff , i am able to inform banging the required fundamental security in terms of équipement informatique to use private or professional are fixées by a directive on the équipements électriques , the directive on basse voltage ' , codecided by the directive on the équipements hertziens and the équipements terminaux of telecommunications . if accordera-t-il nevertheless with me and said that the distinction made between safety at work and safety at classe or safety for a child travaillant among them do is in fact not one ? perhaps serrera-t-il the hand of president khatami . aung san suu kyi is now to facto under house arrest surveillée . i am therefore réticent to go further in terms of trade or to advise other actions concerning trade or the investments . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : those who would disaient it were , for example mentioning some of the meetings électorales which they had been . questions nos 16 to 44 recevront answers écrites . what we want is a report européen consolidé , publié and examined by this parliament . we should concentrate on the move to the non-production in armements and not on the way we will ensure our competitiveness in relation to other countries of the world who are producing the armements . the five members permanent council security , which are censés careful about our security , should prêter the oreille to these proposals and negotiations as soon as possible settlement really worthy of the 21st century . the debate today is an important jalon in the process of reform that the commission prodi has started , there is just over a year . i am unable to prevent to have the impression that in its hâte for producing a proposal before the deadline set by the white paper on reform , the commission has négligé to address properly the details . i propose therefore that the controller financial and the auditeur homemade produces both reports annuels allows account of their activities . the report by mr van hulten accentue more still , and with reason , the distinction plaidée by the commission . it is a good basis for departure for the exchange of best practice among the institutions . let us hope that this ever happening again not ! if we définissons a rule for the large institutions , then the principle of independence put forward by the committee of wise men should prévaloir everywhere . we have very often vécu in the past situations in which the process décisionnels excessivement long have resulted from the requérants the déception and the loss of confidence in the european institutions . i would like to say to mrs wallström , that this report is only one step transitory . this means that there was the first phase of the construction of a pont between the system of control available to us today and the system that we are to be after the reform . that is what makes up the proposal that you have before you . it is only when they will be possible for the assume that the sampling , the procedure for échantillonnage , will also be frequently contrôlée , will be retirée . beyond mere words , we are all aware that it will certainly not an easy task . i believe , though , that we are not qualifiés or as a politiciens or as a technicians , so that we atteler alone to resolving this problem . fortunately , the vast majority of children and young people grandissent in an environment exempt from such factors dire . i agree with all points the views expressed by the commission president , when he stresses the need to establish such a catalogue statutaire ; it is absolutely essential , in my opinion , strengthening the principle of subsidiarity and that means that the eu is abstienne of wanting to introduce policies in a large number of areas with regard desquels political problems are not transnationaux . information from the world and effecting in all areas of knowledge deviennent accessed since the domicile within the time the most brefs . for them , communicate with the whole of the globe are one thing ordinaire . apprehended very quickly , they déclarent to policiers : ' this is drôle , in the feuilletons , there can be done not take too facilement ' . the législateur - i will end here , mr president-in-office , that is not just deal with , but it must occasionally reminded the rights and the responsibilities of each . i am aware also to the remarks that have been made on education , on the training of lire images , on raising awareness among young générations as having an approach bemoans the media , and not to buy anything else , no matter where , no matter how . if a report like this one does not to make progress , to increase mobility or at least to begin to abattre the barriers which are currently mobility in the world of education , nothing will implications more negative on their side . the problems to resolve in different countries are to diverse nature : for example , concepts differ in terms of social security , bourses to study , droit de séjour , taxation and lack of mutual recognition of diplômes and the stages . it is time that europe is committed to once again to the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe . experiments on mobility of students and teachers prouvent that problems réels of this mobility is encompasses not so much on the part of the management of the enseignement but in the field of authorities social and fiscal and immigration . one has mentioned the programme socrates to illustrate this issue . it must be a system of inspection neat , control is clear , even if that were made by échantillonnage and , above all , a guichet , a page web , where the students can lodge complaints . we demand , therefore , the integration of the target of chercheurs amongst the groups of people who can benefit from the recommendations . it is easy to do so in a speech , but not so much in practice . the debate is closed . we appreciate your approach , as well as that of the chirac or the minister joschka fischer . enlargement requires strengthening and reinforcing permits and does compromet not enlargement . ( applause ) the european possède a patrimoine cultural , social and legal science-based single alimenté by the variété and the vitalité of composantes national . the proposal for a resolution on the commission 's reports on which you allez you vote just now , is riche here . this apparaît clearly in the report drawn up by the presidency finlandaise on women and the taking of decisions . the indicators that she has produced strive to assess the progress made . apart from the conference of ministers and the colloque on equal professionally . two texts very considerable , specifically dedicated to equality , but deriving from the council ( employment and social affairs ' deserve to be mentioned . the second is relating to the principle of non-discrimination , including those based on the grounds of sex . in the context of relations annuels , i would add - as president presidentin-office has also mentioned this - that one of the main problems which are confrontée the eu is obviously the existence of grosses differences in culture . the reports which it is a question donating also this impression . we must ensure that the directive on equality is traduise really for legislation . i believe that this method is used to begin by finland , is utilisable in several areas and therefore it is part of the strategy of equal opportunities in the commission , we can to wait for bons results . on behalf of equal opportunities , women french have conquis , thanks to europe , the right to work at night . as citoyenne french , this vision of the world , i find particularly alien . despite these reservations , we will vote for this report because , of course , we are in favour of equal opportunities , but equal opportunities , it is above all , respect for everyone . those who ôtent to mothers freedom of élever their children without being rémunérées recevront the facture later in the form of délinquance juvénile and vandalisme . in this regard , i would remind our report on the splitting of the rights of pensions in the event of divorce , so that the prestations for the survivants and the age of the pensions are intégrés in the directive on 1979 . women polonaises we were very reconnaissantes for having précisé as the representative who were present did not even relayé the position of women polonaises . the presence cofunding women at all levels of government and in all areas is essential to strengthen democracy and to promote and maintain peace . in terminant , i would like to mention the situation of women in the countries who are preparing to join the european union . as members of the council , including men who are siègent , ont-ils here to perform the tasks parcel & # x02bc ; pit europe in the combat against the maffia who organise trafficking in women . because this form of esclavagisme is not the kind of problems which can be hausser the épaules to stakeholder political leaders , and that they can refouler or overlooked . we can déduire reporting and action , we are considering today that the problem of equal opportunities has , as many of us the savaient , a problem for order structurel and that , for the approaching , we must of stratégies overall , because women are either one group or a group of social homogène , let alone collectif . it is true that i was somewhat désolée to see that maria de belém roseira will no longer this post . two of you have mentioned some new social rights , for new rights fiscaux . thirdly , they constitute the basis of a strategy with regard to the european union - including to the charter of fundamental rights , and because we have disposé with a view to the current situation played an important role , but they will offer as an opportunity at national level , since the member states can now , thanks to the comparative assessments , define their objectives nation . the debate municipality is closed . we need to see these amendments in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament can transiger in no insisting not on the amendments comitological discerned that , in some way , they were dépassés by the new framework inter-institutional . nevertheless , i in-service personally that i believe that the text approved at the time by parliament répondait far better to new réalités which have découlé the internal market and of the liberalisation of markets , insofar as the chains of clarificatory and control that introduisaient amendments not accepted garantissaient greater respect for the regulation and applying the same procedures . if we want non-member states accept the compromise , the european community has to be the first to apply to monitor compliance with its own standards , because if a country has the opportunity to introduce products from the community market by the contrebande , why prendrait-il worth negotiate any kind of concession with us ? similarly , amendment parliament regarding the declaration of sans-papiers , which was adopted by the council , will lead to administrations douanières member state to be équiper instruments for managing automatisés the most modern . but it is too late now since the vote will take place and the members have voted in its favour . votes ( continuation ) report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , on the reports annuels by the commission on ' equal opportunities for men and women in the european union , 1997 and 1998 , 1999 [ com ( 1999 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) . this is not the first time that i am speaking on student mobility and the corps teacher . this report is even more important than it occurs at a time critical for the european union , that of enlargement . discrimination does combat not by creating departments administratifs supplémentaires , but only in the minds of people . i did not vote on mann report , because if it is indeed necessary to seek equal treatment of people in employment and labour , even faudrait-il does not encourage the zeal in point of abandon any protection freedoms , while respecting the rule of law . as a laïc convinced , i have not been able to support this proposal . the snp is pleased with this directive and its objective of ending discrimination on the place of work . if we want to make the directive acceptable and exécutable , it cannot be surchargée of littérature and désirs who do not belong in a piece of legislation . the eplp has yet to strong reserves in the fields afterwards . some aspects should also , in our view , be laissés at the discrétion from member states , such as the terms generals in force , the organisation of formations of the workers of certain groups of age , the nature of the system of mediators , and how the smes must interpréter the directive . in this interview , hulten pointed out quite rightly that only solving problems such as fraud , the gaspillage but also the lack of effectiveness in the process décisionnel , then we will enable us to start with an agenda commendable . the reasons for the orientation of my vote is concerned , to a large extent on the issue of rapprochement between the european union and nato and to the impulsion given to the policy of common defence . it refers to arms exports of europe as a means of solving the future conflicts hall in areas géographiques voisines of europe . however , i am unable to accept that there furnish the need for a policy of common defence and of a common european security and defence policy . children are the main victims of violence on television . i welcome the realization of this study . the group of experts will be constitué at community level . it will have to mission to establish a european memorandum establishing the principles generals for the protection of minors in the context of the media . report dybkjaer ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) it is particularly interesting that for the first time either relevée the need for further assessing the effectiveness of resourceful policy by means of mutual annuels from the commission . peru mr president , the peru lived under the moments of uncertainty and we nourrissons all the hope that the current situation is résolue through a process , guaranteeing all the rights civils and political and contribuant the strengthening of democracy and peace in peru , where 25 000 people are mortes over the fifteen years . the word to is the word ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which have déroulées the elections in peru in may this year was unacceptable . b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . i am pleased to note that the report contains certain points clear and precise on the situation of women and that he has drawn attention to the need to try to intervene in order to avoid a situation that the regime taliban will continue its work discriminated against frontal women . the eu has a duty noticeably . it cannot be recognition on the part of any member state , as will continue the policy of violation of human beings , particularly for discrimination systematically against women . we must take account of this reality , within the european institutions , and the fact that the cultures of drugs are used for acheter weapons . it will , however , in order résolue countries neighbours , in order to improve their ability to fight against drugs . i think the time has come back to the need for the european union is beginning to dessiner policy combined with countries of latin america which could possibly prevent these countries are experiencing périodiquement situations of crisis and those that some have connues . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and parliament saluent freeing the snr jésuite castilian alejandro matos castro last week . b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the party of european liberal , démocrates and réformateurs , on macedonia : legislation relating to the enseignement superior and the universities . that is why we are very pleased that the problem of the enseignement tertiary has perhaps finally found a solution really positive . personally , i also see above all a good example of each country neighbours , démontrant that the enseignement does sert not only to propager the haine - just as it is most often - but that it can also be the berceau of a cohabitation multiethnique peace-oriented . i would also hoped that this solution may be approved by all the parties represented in parliament . i might perhaps take this opportunity to stress that the commission has already been able to be congratulated on its cooperation with the high representative , mr van der stoel . we do menons not this debate today only to express our deep chagrin . we menons above all to look at what has happened , what are the causes and how we are going to remedy the situation , how can we , as the commission and parliament will ensure that such events do not occur again pas . in any case , mr president , we agree with this proposal for a resolution municipality that we support as it is libellée under urgent procedure , and on the basis , of course , from what i have mentioned précédemment . we are in désaccord with the amendments that have been tabled again under urgent procedure . for the amendment on working conditions , there is a directive afférente , the wording of amendment is not so good that the text . it is simply not acceptable for the islands of the north and the west of the scotland , as for the itinéraire potential of traversée from the sea from north to the continent of europe , which will hopefully will inauguré in a future nigh . i am pleased that the government grec has entre-temps annulé this exemption . that is why , as a result of sinking ship express samina , the commission has immediately urged the government grec of providing éclaircissements on the application of community law in force . i would like to raise the question , and i ask you to clarify this with the bureau , though , following the abolition of friday , the abolition of thursday does not have already begun in some way . the problem is not resolved , and as long as it may not be made , the institutions financial international - the fmi and the world bank - will not help serbia démocratique . consequently , we must also work in the united nations and the countries of former yugoslavia and source as quickly as possible a deal that could unfreeze , when the time of the free will come in serbia , aid economical , by means of fmi and of the world bank . in these instants will perhaps be playing into the rues belgrade 's avènement of a change démocratique where the resort to violence can be évité . we condemn all acts that can be considérés as a provocation , particularly with regard to the places saints to jérusalem . with regard to the middle east , we as europeans , have consenti an effort - venise , madrid and oslo , stockholm - and we fully support the promotion and the development of this process . the fact that more choquant concerns the use of balles of fragmentation of the police and army israeli ; these balles , which explosent within the corps in dizaines of morceaux and which are banned in the whole world , even in the combat opponent of soldiers , are now employées against the civils . i believe that europe can and must make a great deal in this direction , with clarity and decision . so we must all do to stop the incendie in progress as quickly as possible . the provocations such as the action of ariel sharon must not be tolerated . it is once more the case today , and that is what empêchera and prevented europe over the many years , to play a role as mediator in the middle east , abandonnant that input to the only united states . we do sacrifierons not the people serbe to our nobles objectives moral because that would mean the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . in conclusion , madam president , i propose to envoyer a parliamentary delegation as quickly as possible and so that a new government yugoslav has been formé in order to establish the level of re-building of a new serbia in conjunction with the new government . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , this is obviously a day historic here in parliament , which marquera perhaps the end of one of the last piliers of a dictature totalitarian in europe . mr president , there is a problem , the version allemande 's recueil concerning the urgences - i do not know whether it is also the case for the other versions - contains only the amendments of the gue , but no resolution or even the joint text . mr president , i will simply draw the attention of my colleagues on the pile which shows that what documents we have been necessary for the vote this week . if parliament could propose amendments to the council decision , it soulignerait probably unemployment and the problems of social in croatia , which are due to the system of austérité saddled with that country . nonetheless , there is no legal basis for such amendments in this context . this is an opportunity to revendiquer the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . mr president , this was discussed yesterday evening , the very heart of this house , the question of serbia and changes révolutionnaires which are in place . i would also convince my colleagues , and especially the council , to remain in the negotiations for months on the budget for next year and the swedish suivantes , most faithful feasible for the commission 's proposal , which , in my opinion , is at present the best estimate of costs globaux in croatia and in other parts of the balkans . in 1990 , the elections democratiques organisées bahraini furent jugées équitables and libres by public opinion worldwide . i say so , yes , the financial aid , yes to this accordingly , i invite énergiquement the commission to help massively barbados profoundly european and now really gouverné democratically and according to the principles of the rule of law , with the associating states applying for accession , because i believe that croatia has earned our support unconditional . like the rapporteur , i wonder whether the money allocated to this end will actually available , particularly as we understand although considerable funds must be made available for serbia and that the union 's budget is not revu at the hausse . the délégations parliament croate and the nôtre have either invité the council to extend the mandate of the eib . i hope that contact has noueront quickly and that , like to croatia , aid will be octroyée on people serbe , which deserves our greatest respect . ( the minutes are approved ) in this spirit , we invitons women from the european parliament to participate in this empowerment : there is a call tuesday and wednesday and we récolterons the signatures and participation in the delegation , in intending expresse building , between women and the ponts peace where règne violence . overall , there were more souffrances for the basques and for the spanish ; it is true that the spanish and the basques are tired of the conflict topical . madam president , you souvenez arguably that , during the last part-session , i had discussed the situation critical of a campaigner democrat , the british james mawdsley , which was détenu illégalement by authorities birmanes . madam president , as far as i am concerned , i would like to turn into one of the rules of procedure . in fact , this report to apparence technique , which does not appear to provide a great modification of the order of policy , is extremely important because , subrepticement , it introduit the possibility of pratiquer genetic engineering in viticulture and thus to reach a vine growing genetically modified . if we do not agree with the report , there will delays . the council of state - as you have said - has rejected this regress . we have dûment informés from this rejection . but today the situation is repeating itself and is a meyer , certainly in the ppe , but not in my camp policymaking in italy . we therefore plaidons actively to the introduction of a picture of brink social , as happened in the internal market , with measures that are clear , of échéances and the deadlines . i hope , madam minister , that the council will be inspiré by the desires of parliament and that you réussirez , at the nice summit , to set ambitious objectives in the social agenda européen which we can then we atteler over the prochaines years . as a result of the informal council ' employment and social policy ' of 8 july in paris , the presidency has called on all the interested parties - european parliament , of course , economic and social committee , committee on regional and social partners , nro , groups and committees of the council - to express their proposals . set against the quantitatively as qualitatif is a faux debate and lisbon has clearly established two purposes : more jobs , jobs in better quality . we must encourage this mobility , whilst ensuring the safety of trajectoires professional . we must try to récapituler and décrire the shortcomings of the system and , in any case , we have the placing on the agenda . we believe that the coordination outward-looking constitutes the right path to follow towards a social europe . the implementation of the ambitions sociétales affichées at lisbon requires an effort community-spirited , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the services , particularly those relating to the information society . the commission will naturally provide important input , but the problems of social are enshrined in the whole locally , and it is the commenting on tenant much heed to the various contextes concrete . the social acted as correcteur effects on the most harmful policies economical . the proposal submitted originally by the commission would have been much better without amendment - congratulations , commissioner . it is a diary low-key . i am reminded of just how much we have made péniblement in terms of social protection in the legislature bowing . i believe that this will be very positive and aidera women to reconcile life-skills familiale and occupational . i sometimes get the impression that , under the concept of modernisation , we believe frequently to vider social protection of its substance . what are the core elements of the content ? it is still difficult to define the objectives of europe that will be pareillement apply in all member states , since there is a reality diverse . 49 amendments were tabled by the commission . it is therefore important that we fournissions reassurances about the possibility that will non-government organizations to influence this process . another point is that the community must act more in the assessment of needs of initiatives supplémentaires , including , if necessary , the adaptation of legislation , equal opportunities and the fight against discrimination . this is not just the right idées and the bons plans for achieving equality are lacking in the past , but their implementation has often failed . it is not acceptable that the voice of women is accaparée by a handful of adoption of the revendication vivant thanks to the perfusion of deniers public . equality of men and women in the life of civil , which makes it possible for women to jouir full human rights and fundamental freedoms . i attends that those male risked intéressent finally and that they combattent of stéréotypes and the rôles of sexes dépassés . i believe , however , that we have the thanked for having followed this debate , since its presence was not foreseen during this debate . competition policy we must offer our businesses the best possible conditions so that they can organise their production and above all their future . they must have a wide choice of products of high quality vendus at prices concurrentiels : it is , ultimately , the reason why we need to promote the single market and , in parallel , free competition , because it serves to all our citizens . this is the decision to grant or not to grant aid in the field of coal . paragraph 16 of the report riis-jørgensen mentioned the souci bettering the rule of law in the applications of mergers and making it more efficient and more rapides the calendriers applicable to the procedures to appeal . in any case , it is entreprises public to their force no to a impeccable dealing with matters , but the positions of monopolization passées and present . we need to impliquer more in the public information on competition policy , so that it really is acknowledging that favourable . they have a bearing alarmingly for employment and regional policy , and i hope that this be comprenne well in future , so that such aid , aid home , which have implications for the regional development and the economy of the regions , and where transport assaulting value , for example type , can be pursued . this communication contains three messages which are important . i thank also strongly mr evans for her excellent report on the rules on state aid to industry sidérurgique and on the huitième report by the committee on state aid in the european union . i would therefore reassure mrs palacio and mr karas , as well as other members who are intervenus on these points , and tell them that the regulation takes ample account of their concerns . otherwise , we servirions our goal , namely encourage competition and consumers in a way perverse . the debate municipality is closed . the mechanism for financing is the application of article 119 of the ec treaty , which is still in force in the third stage of emu only for the member states which do participent out of the currency unique . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i am glad that we can still discuss today 's motion for a council directive amending directive 68 / 193 / eec on the marketing propagating material végétative vines , and i hope that the vote tomorrow will be positive . some of them have embarked on 5 july , the call for beaune , where they are all their concern about the introduction of gmos in their profession . the rules that they prévoient are also in favour of the production of a hardware végétal diversifié by providing the best guarantees sanitaires . this is essential to monitor effectively the restructuring of the vignoble community point clé of the new coms vini-viticole . we have to say so loud and clear , there was nullement necessary to gaver articles of the directive on références to directive 90 / 220 under review , except in wanting to promote at any strength in vines the manipulations génétiques . i have the pleasure of your alerting that we can accept in addition , amendments nos 35 to 40 , tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , who tendent to strengthen the transposition of requirements for safety and management enshrined in the directive 220 / 90 . i would simply point out that parliament has not been asked to give its opinion as such . madam president , this is about paragraph 14 of the minutes on the request for waiver of the immunité mp from our collège pacheco pereira . i serai more precise on qualified majority . on the weighting of votes , the two options well-equipped connues are also on the table : weighting caps on which a slight , very slight , majorities are confirmed , or rather double majority , but with various formulas , double majority caps or repondérée or some form of ' filet demographics ' . moreover , without prejudice to the assessment of needs and the coordination of assistance for economic and financial to the federal republic of yugoslavia , which will be confiés conjointement at the european commission and the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant the federal republic of yugoslavia , a first humanitaire contingency of eur 200 million . but voyez-vous , ladies and gentlemen , if i devais say spontanément and very much my sentiment , i would say this : whichever sensibilité on these matters - composition of the commission and system of vote - that is not on this basis that we can mesurer failure or the success of nice . positively too was approval by the heads of state and government of the charter of fundamental rights , but i must also remember , mr president-in-office , the reason that has made this agreement possible . as we must not be mourir of ennui the spirit of nice , our priority paradigm during the 50s days who are going to élever negotiations in community policy . in this respect , i would also have to say to my collèges of the party of european - and i would ask mr poettering for me listen - because what we are defending in this house , we have to defend it elsewhere . according to what we are aware of the results achieved by the prime ministers and presidents-in-office to biarritz on issues hautement délicates to reform the treaty , the charter will probably the most belle success of nice . the council rencontrerait really expectations citizens of europe in lançant great perusal of the people , the national parliaments , enabling us to reach a charter répondant really needs . we must therefore launch an appeal to everyone for retourner the roots of our union , have the courage which have been mr giscard d estaing and mr schmitt on décidant from the election suffrage universal ep in 1976 and in 1979 and decide what 2009 it will ultimately a president of the european union , president of the commission . i should like in particular to take this opportunity to respond to what has been said by mr poettering on the clivage between large and small countries . i reviens of something simply on matters of trade policy abroad , because that is something quite serious . that is when even something precious which was highlighted by all the members of the european council . another point positively has been the adoption of the charter as a whole . beyond that , in my opinion on this issue cruciale for the future of the european union and its method of decision-making , biarritz has marqué issues and we can only be a welcome development . i hope that we can still convince , progressing , for the emporter here at nice . i cite two examples definite : firstly , we have gone the right to work with the right to work and , secondly , a number of social rights which forms part of the charter of social révisée from the council of europe do lie not in the charter . it shows clearly the debates taking place throughout europe , including those in biarritz , that the member states biggest seek , in part , to put pressure on the member states finer in order to reform the european union under the heading policy pursued by the individual states bigger and also depending on their désirs . the dissatisfied with both sides are proof of the négociateurs that they are acheminent towards a proper balance . the leaders of europe have not formulé of vision clear-cut . the commission structurée on criteria of representation of each state trahit a conception tad visionnaire . we would then have a union centralisée , which laisserait smaller countries less influence that the system of bicamérisme u.s. does lets the states fédéraux of small size . after the summit in sharm-el-sheikh , where all the parties concerned were put together to find nonetheless a solution to the crisis of violence and re-establish dialogue between barak and arafat , we have seen , quoiqu there has been so far as that semblait can succeed , it is extremely difficult to contenir violence . in hefty informateurs , of course , turn out to mr barón things that are not really about italy and by my party . we need to accomplissions progress in matters of taxation of energy in europe . the latter has undergone a blocage total so far as a result of the principle of unanimity . we cannot allow that to installe a situation where the smaller states in viendraient to craindre a dérive towards solutions to directorat . i believe that the convention has fourni for the excellent work and i am fière to have been able to count amongst its members . in this second instance of features , the question is : at what time fonctionnera this principle of the rotation soberly égalitaire between large and small . the extension of a real issues of qualified majority voting and codecision , preservation of article 250 such that it is now the stead and the commission 's role in intensified cooperation , not just on the first pillar : this is a few aspects which will allow us to judge instantanément if there is , ultimately , foil and success . mr president , thank you for jacques , first of all , to jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , thanks to all , of vaclav havel in carlo ciampi , of joschka fischer in jacques chirac , of michel barnier to pierre moscovici , of chris patten on costa simitis , passing through florence , and by the multitude of prospective meps who have taken up back in 1999 , the general trend towards a european constitution . do critiquons pas trop europe mercenary - and this is a socialist which you mentioned : it has given us greater prosperity for all . accordons-nous at least on this objective , and because we are doing , say how attaining it . mr president , i had the pleasure to note that in substance , the proposals put forward dernièrement at the intergovernmental conference are along the same way as all or part of the criteria that i have exposés . mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you have hoped that we have , this morning , a debate on issues concerning desquelles your house has estimé needed to supplement the opinion on the intergovernmental conference that she had made in april last . thus , while respecting the framework constitutionnel exists , it seems difficult - i am telling you - to provide for more than a procedure of the opinion consultative parliament at a time of the déclenchement . you know well , this requires us to make some choice polices , to go much greater than resolving these three requirements énoncées highest . i have myself stressed that the formula retained for the charter is a route to explore . but i did well understood that beyond the aspect linguistically , your question cachait another concern . this is also why i wanted to express my thanks , and in principle and in the form of an initiative which you have taken . the establishment of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies which viendraient will add to the union 's institutions . it is time to revise the treaties . the rejection of the european council to incorporate the charter of fundamental rights of the union in the treaties fondateurs , to bring together these rights legally contraignants and permit in this way to people whose rights do not have not been respected to join the european court of justice , doorsteps encroachment upon this consensus unimpeded . without this , and there will , not the europe of citizens and the eu , in my view . paragraph 8 : the constitution will consider - and i quote - ' questions left ouvertes ' . nobody has yet been able to explain what has changed since then . secondly , in comparison with the agenda insufficient , who has left aside for questions of particular importance for the future of the european union and the interests of citizenship . mr president-in-office , you raconte than on the eve of the révolution bolchevique - an event which should be devastating throughout the world - the église orthodoxe russian was plongée into a debate complexes in the style of habits of cérémonie in place that during the carême . it is therefore imperative that the cooperation offer any guarantee that has préconisées ruffalo , whether they are ouvertes at all in compliance with the spirit of the treaties , and that they do aillent not run counter to the acquis communautaire . however , there is a point i would like to accentuer : we do not seem right to demand or privilégier the direction of a referendum obligatory in all member states for the approval of the amendments tabled . we have had a debate very stoked on two issues which , although variety , is encountering at one point . we are prepared to make sure that it can be put to the vote during the session of november , so that the text will be adopted under the french presidency . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) what does ' the introduction of the possibility of taking its retired incrementally via the work on time partial ' , if not a threat to the pensionable age , however unacceptably high acidic in many countries ? everyone knows that pensioners , such as children , aiment the confitures . i have asked to pensioners who gave me mandated here in the european parliament , with the party of retired people if it piercing plairait to drink wine genetically modified . well , by dispensation , to put on the market propagating material standard , once the needs cannot be covered by other categories . i would ask you , therefore , mr president , the variations in the cost of labour is constituent-elles not , therefore , either a restriction on freedom of competition in the european union ? it was therefore inevitable that we vote against this report . despite the measures taken in favour of greater déréglementation within the european union , state aid still have a role constructive to play in the development of social and economic . these aid can be avérer pre-requirements for environmental protection , the maintenance of public services and the guarantee of a level of income equal to the inhabitants of the regions economically défavorisées . we soulignons the risk , after the consécration control of the eu on state aid consequence and to see this target the aid of a small amount in invoquant competition prevails for smes . section vi - economic and social committee if we are asking the échéanciers implementing the budget for the rubriques 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , we see that only an average of 8 % of total commitments are covered by direct payments . there are three years , we have attelés via our initiative for employment in aidant small- and medium-sized enterprises to get capital at risk . parliament wants to do so in two ways . that is the only way for the european institutions to comply with their mission . i seized the opportunity to thank expressly the vice-président responsible for question budgets , mr gerhard schmid , for his cooperation constructively . we want this committee is in itself to work but we cannot tolérer that it is the place where the demands of the european parliament , as branche of the budgetary authority , encountering the least of echoing . this means that the 2001 is the last year 's budget unadulterated and it is against that background that we must assess the commission 's proposal and that we soumettons in parliament . we want moreover that you examine the expenditure tape . since 1985 - i say quite eighty-five - the committee on budgets of parliament is trying to get that procedures of the european parliament take into account the impact of financial cohn resolution that nanakli parliament . i will conclude , mr president , i should like to thank the other institutions for their prompt action in dealing with this statement jointly . you are appelés today to you vote on a budget which was already amendé at first reading by the council . on the injunctions structural : the amount of actions to restructuring has been pro-europe reconduit compared with the budget 2000 . the attitude of the council on the work of revising the financial perspectives is sereine . when we examine these various figures , we see that there are still further diversities significant in terms purely quantitative but also , of course , in terms of content . in this respect , i must point out that , last year , a new decision was taken with the council after a long debate and i have little hope to be able to start this debate . the planification financial décidée in berlin for the period demotic until 2006 prévoyait 8,1 billion euros for the programme meda . i would therefore ask the council and to the committee on budgets to think in terms of foreign policy and not just in terms of budgetary policies , when they are concerned with foreign policy . the second concerns the aid to offer the victims of human rights violations in need of treatment in the institutions spécialisées . if a compromise solution apte to appuyer the important work of the committee emac venait to relieve the pressure of time that we rest , we could still settle this issue ; otherwise , the position of our committee is still open . we only need to remind us of this day after day for allumer our positions on television and the fact that the middle east traverse during a difficult one . i therefore hope that we parviendrons despite which , in the voting tomorrow by a majority required for the observatoire dublin . mr president , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development , i would like to make a few comments , and especially to start on rural development . we have asked for the approval of a lenders indicatif of two million euros for an information campaign on the pcp . the european commission should negotiate with the arguments of weight to reach an agreement reasonable with morocco and the council and the governments concerned must for their part support policy to that negotiation . we see today the 2001 budget , bearing in ringleader images of the population serbe . overall , we would like that these amendments are adopted . however , a path billion-dollar whereby people can ensure that their concerns are taken into consideration is being called for conciliator , or the european dispatch of a pétition in parliament . let me begin by discussing the budget of this house . as a surprise to many members of my delegation , we have early september , articulated unanimement a plate-forme strategic . thus , the 400 amendments introduits by some of my colleagues have constitué a surprise to many of us in the committee on budgets . it is indeed difficult to imagine how new posts could solve the problem of management if , in the commission and the council , it is still procedures complexes of another age who are used to implement many programmes . in recent years , parliament has repeatedly shown that it basait its work on a parcimonie real . it is unacceptable to speak , for years , a very vague about the commitments which we will re-state regularly if it is to say that , when it comes to its accounts , that it really is too much for us , and that we must now rogner on our promises . if we do plaçons that some malheureux million on these lines , and we cannot ill-suited more - we agiterons a carotte , these should be withdrawn if these people to have real needs . as last year 's budget , the 2001 budget is trouvait faced with problems caucasian insolubles : firstly , the pressure on women 's consolidation and the policy of austerity , as agreed in the interinstitutional agreement in order to guarantee the financing of enlargement ; secondly , the need criant of financing of pacte stability for the balkans . calling for better performances also calls for more staff . the adoption of this amendment as it stands initial , could begin to change the sheds , but a majority of the committee on budgets has rejected the idea . and there , hélas . these examples are manifold : the treatment privileged accordé the associations to vocation fédéraliste or to the many ngos on this basis , to the philosophie and the functioning of the most discutables ; on the financing of parties political europe , passing through the are englouties into the programme prince , to try to persuade the citizens of the member states of the bien-fondé of the euro at a time when the currency europe is experiencing a loss in confidence amply partagée by europeans , with our friends dane until the leaders of the european central bank . finally , mr heaton-harris has pointed out quite correctly , in the amendments he has proposed that the unilatéral many programmes europe by means desquels one sert an entire propaganda in the public about the integration of europe , due to its own costs , notez-le well . furthermore , our systems administratifs must be modernisés . we must also give a good example . the programme meda , embodied in the mediterranean basin , recesses geography of primary importance strategically , is a good example of lack of capacity for implementing them . when we talk about making réductions or taking money from category 4 for giving resources to certain priorities , and we must not forget what are the priorities of the house . we have shown that out clearly in the vote in committee . this figure should therefore be clarified . thank you , mr wynn . it wants to say simply that there is a real elements of flexibility in order to move forward on this or that policy , even when someone should it not possible , or do not want , and that applies to the countries of the european union is also true of the candidate countries . i believe that austria has not to complain about what has happened - quite the opposite . the recommendations of the regional organisations as well as the experience of countries neighbours will undoubtably contribute to the definition of these resources . in 1984 , 0,2 % of propriétaires colombiens possédaient 32 % of the earth . the council is not here to comment on one aspect of this issue which is extremely delicate and douloureuse . at the same time , it cannot be either commence as a debate on issues which are , once again , an extremely complexes . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : therefore , i am garderai well to give an answer end to this question nest . quite simply , we have the feeling , and your reply in testament rather than the council presidency is not very volontariste in dealing with this matter . therefore , the income from this impôt does not of course nil . too many in excuse , but we are going to apply the rules of procedure . if the sides off from the salle is resté silencieux , so that we have already dealt with these issues antérieurement and in our opinion it is inutile to look again at various times in the same issues in this salle while our time is valuable . furthermore , in the pipeline for adopting this directive on the prevention of encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles , a decision to withdraw the equipment presenting risks in the light of these diseases have been taken in june 2000 , in order to enrayer any progress news of the disease and to provide the consumer 's level of health protection as high as possible . i have no other factors than those which i could give you just now . we suivons and we are all aware of the work of the commission and council on the package erika 1 . however , in connection with this passage , who is familiar with both countries and experienced in the european union , which is a switchover particularly difficult , emprunté by business-to-business bateaux to win a few hours alone , with the risk that in stale rafiots come to grief and provoking a disaster , i would like to say , especially those living in corse , of sardaigne would have liked to know if it is possible and , if you envisagez to prohibit purely and simply switching from bouches of bonifacio by these jumbo bateaux , these jumbo conteneurs . that is why i believe we should , in principle , support the commission 's proposals for the revision of the policy in terms of staff . we must injecter money costs in the budget for serbia and kosovo . i hope , mr president , and i will conclude by then , that we are going famously even amputer down the budgeting of 50 million euros to finance the agreement peace israël / olp . that is why we proposerons , the european parliament , additional measures which serviront alone to find a new funding - we know that the situation today is the allows no - that in sceller new compromise interinstitutionnels which amélioreront the quality of expenditure and veilleront to ensure that no single currency is gaspillé . songez than in european policy , as in any other area , the options modérées cessent sometimes to be majoritaires . it is conçu for obscurcir rather than to éclairer , and i was déçue by the attitude adopted today about the budgétisation by activity . the fact that ventiler expenditure depending on activities enables us to consider the budget as an instrument policy in which the ventilation expenditure reflects the political priorities dot . we must find a solution pluriannuelle so as not to do so , year after year , rediscuter each time how we could find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . those who are intéressent development of an area of agricultural durable does ignorent move by the dynamic plant at the recent reform , as it was convenue in berlin , ' is déplace ' continuously for aid to the raw materials for support directly for incomes of farmers . a budget , ladies and gentlemen , is still much more than just a danse of figures . finally , it is immoral , mr president , to reduce the expenditure for agriculture policy , for the programme meda , for the excluded social , in order to provide resources intended to finance the commitments of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . in short , we need to ensure that the people serbe does afflict the froid and hunger in the course of this mid-winter . furthermore , i would like to express my concern at the various parliaments youth intégrés into the programme socrates . of course , we must also say quite clearly to the council that it is a degree of responsibility in the development insufficient with programmes externally . we must now a solution stable regarding this aid , especially when it comes to their planification long-term for the western balkans . i think that most people seraient prepared to accept such a cost , provided that this money is utilisé in good escient . i share the concerns and argumentation that the rapporteur , mrs rühle has raised this evening in the field of research and aid presence . two weeks ago reigned parliament parliamentary paritaire acp . at the same time , we want resources budget to be investis in the funds for research and information , in order to seek the alternatives production for producers of tobacco topical . i would like to say clearly that the european union has had the effect that more direct and the more positive than you can imagine on ireland 's north , . in this model , compliance with rules and procedures is assuré by an authority indépendante and , in the final analysis , by judges . we shall thus for the first time a codecision procedure at first reading on something extremely complex and parsemé of technical difficulties , on a sector which is particularly sensitive to the protection of freedoms individuelles . it is quite positive that we did not réuni into an authority unique their tâches respectives . sait-on , for example , that the system schengen has engrangé more than ten million sheets for nearly half a million and demi of citizens , that europol sees its powers constantly élargies , centralise information originating from different police authorities of the fifteen member states , and that , under the single inspects for an authority which neither the competence nor the resources are made available to it for him to make it possible to accomplir out-and-out another task . that said , i derives from the presence of commissioner to say that i semblerait fit to be préoccuper not only for the protection of citizens in relation to the new technologies , but also on the use of these technologies to promote the capacity of the european citizen to intervene and to interagir towards the european institutions . amendments nos numérotés 1 , 2 , 4 to 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 and 60 to 64,000 raised in the text of the council for those points where the commission can scoring an agreement . it goes without saying , therefore , that its opinion on the legislative proposals concerning the protection of personal data will be very valuable because it will be an important contribution to the debate lawmaking between the institutions . the treaty acknowledges indeed for the outermost regions , a situation of economic and social arduous , aggravée through handicaps sectional whose permanence and the conjugaison pertain gravely damage to the development of these regions . it contribuera as well as the promotion of economic progress and social thanks to the level of employment reared . i therefore congratulate mrs sudre and we await with impatience the methods of application of the commission 's proposals , so that they must be taken into account shortly on specifics , under article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . for many europeans , some outermost regions are mere destinations touristiques on the map . our rate of unemployment are among the highest in the european union . i am pleased that the commission has adopted by a large majority the amendments which i have tabled . it is very important , in my opinion , that the ultraperipheral regions are intégrées within the grids transeuropéens transport , energy and the telecom . the adoption , by unanimity among the members of the committee on regional policy , the report presented by our colleague margie sudre is a testimony to the fidélité ep towards one of its commitments on the most important . we cannot débattre is a set of circumstances and thinking that from the point ideal and idyllique - appelons-le as well - has been achieved , it will no longer need to take further steps in the handling of these three areas and , more particularly , of ultra-peripheral regions , which is involved here . this article , ladies and gentlemen , let us allow admittedly no all do , but we can help to strengthen and then i think it is necessary to extend and improve our work . for the preparation of the proposals which are necessary , the commission collabore naturally with the member states and regions concerned . in these areas , we know , there is durablement difficulties and i believe , therefore , objectivement , according to their actual level of development , that they will need durablement by support for regional policy and in particular measures . a meeting of this kind could again be organised in the course of the year 2001 , when we will be more advanced in implementing the programme presented by mars . the presidency has said that he has been closed and is to accepte perfectly . i believe that parliament is far from being stick to the rules topical because , as stated by another colleague , very often , indeed , this is not the machines which have not fonctionné , but the members who have oublié to vote , and if you could correcting a vote by a result , we still finirions ever . i am obviously what i eats . in short , commissioner , in addition to the authority , it is important that the commission services responsible , in cooperation and in coordination with the member states , établissent a system of controls homogènes and effective throughout the food chain , and that the network of laboratoires food from the european union should be strengthened and work in tandem with the commission . we need to avoid any duplication of work in the field of activities and research scientist , which involves a collaboration with the first-stop research at national and community . today , we are talking about a white paper and we have an interest in define certain exalted principles . now , these procedures have been amended and changed and we have our own agency national food safety , the food standards agency . finally , we soutiendrons too many new amendments , more specifically , amendments nos 11-13 , 7-9 and we want to hold a vote in awareness about amendment no 14 . in this context , let me say straight away that food safety depends entirely on the organised by the authorities of scrutinies rigorous - controls that are too stringent for the weakest link . it emerges clearly from the discussion of this question how much is superficiel and deprives the debate we menons on european unification policy in europe . confions so at a european food authority 's sole experience scientist , in liaison with our agences national . if there is the squared with the spread of principales diseases country-of-origin food which affectent europe at present , the majority were actually their first appearance in america . it is nonetheless necessary to define the conditions of saisine food safety authority 's to guarantee an action efficiently and quickly . we should also emphasise , as well as some previous speakers , in particular mr whitehead , mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is much more than a new framework réglementaire within the european union . mr president , i ressens today both a satisfaction and gratitude - firstly with regard to the commission has started its work towards achieving better food safety , and secondly about mr bowis and the whole of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . amendment no 17 is particularly important . it predicts that people ask council to organisations for consumers . another aspect is the review organique standards on the label , both for sale in headline that at the moment ; a review which gives lastly , thanks to the traçabilité products and their ingredients and information correct pro-consumer and permette the determination of responsibility projected in the event of risk or a crisis . in my opinion , the development of a new legislation is not a good response to the non-respect of legislation which already exists . in the vote on the environment committee , we have managed to restore some balance in insérant in the field of application matters relating to the nutrition and other références essentielles the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the safeguard of habits foodstuff . mr president , i would like to joindre to my colleagues and congratulate the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his approach very constructive and very logique with these problems and specific . mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety is of no value legislation does nullement counter to a dual value that it is certainly . the rapporteur , along with many meps belonging to the commission , including myself , have stressed the food authority , which is actually rather regrettable . the independence and the autonomy of the instrument is the atouts which servent most to the interests of consumers of europe . i have said many times during that time , we had had the opportunity with the choice of the rapporteur . mr president , i would like to congratulate our colleague mr bowis in order to be truly efforcé to integrate all the points of view in his report and , above all for having agreed that we référions as to what constitutes a more general food . in short , mr president , the policy cannot be soustraire to its responsibilities . but above all , we must win the respect of its pairs and the confidence of the public and persuade the governments of member states to accept its findings . that is how i envisage a future european food safety authority . there is the world organisation of health in geneva . i do cache nor , that in publishing the white paper , i have voted against the creation of such an authority . we must therefore ensure that the european union boasts of standards the highest possible food safety , but this conception - unanimement partagée - must also analyser the consequences of economic she brings to the sectors concerned by a requirement of production . the tâches of the agency will then the suivantes : research scientist indépendante , surgery , inspections and controls self-employment as well as an early warning system , but securely as a matter of coordination in order to restore confidence . to be told in passing , i would say to the speakers who have made reference to the question of the need to be sensitive to the promotion of local products or traditionnels that this issue is couverte by legislation hygiene . this climate consensual facilitera the task of the commission when the time will come to submit a proposal numerically pay heed to the maximum opinions exposés by parliament and by the many parts prenantes in terms of food safety . to say so , it was the last few years a forces motrices which have led , in terms of policy , for the signing of the ottawa convention . i reiterate my opposition to amendments nos 10 and 19 to the concerns of cohérence budgets and , as regards amendment no 29 , i request a vote by blocs in order to have an improved wording of the text which is suffering for me to problems of interpretation that is where soulève a preliminary question . the european union and , above all , the commission must do everything we can to that countries which have still not done so signent the ottawa convention . . ( de ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we have all the impact of anti-personnel mines , although they are often in some cases sectional of justifications military significance . that is voltaire , who has made for the first time in 1996 , the question of a coherent budgetary horizontal and creating a legal basis appropriately in order to provide a plate-forme single for very many actions undertaken in this area , important . but i cannot do not occulter the fact that the power of persuasion of the union to achieve this objective is heurte somewhat on the réticence of some member states which rechignent to signer and to ratify the convention . mine action earns in efficiency when it is adapte the conditions relating to each situation . parliament knows that as it exists already intolerably and that , thanks to our proposals for reform of the aid g overseas , we hope we soustraire at the lourdeur control of the projects individual and focussing our debates with the member states on the stratégies and programmes globaux . ngos have proliféré satisfying the needs . nevertheless , we must realise that around four years after the first conference of the united nations on landmines , which was held in geneva and over a year after the entry into force of the ottawa convention , many countries and thousands of people in the world , all too often in the regions of the most impoverished , continuent to endure the terrible consequences of mines terrestres anti-personal and the munitions not explosées . it is important that the commission améliore both the quality of his programmes and the rapidité of their implementation . however , i believe that , if you the parcourez once again deduced very attentive , you remarquerez that there are several amendments which you mentioned that , in my opinion , pertain to campaigns in awareness about transparency , on access reserved for ngos , on things which are working very well at this moment but that could still fonctionner more effectively . mrs bonino and mr patten has also right in stating that the european parliament and council will ought not to deal with issues tape , and i have listened very carefully to the remarks made by mr patten on this , because it would appear that we should certainly not be discussing it . mr president , voici quite some time that our group will actively on the whole range of applications and measures which are needed , since the interruption of production , the destruction of stocks , the judgment of the commercially , until the clearing of déminage , the rehabilitation of victims and increased awareness . the states , that we support the process in the enceintes international . the mines are naturally a wedge leading to the reconstruction of these countries and the return of refugees . the rhythm which we will , as was said earlier , we need much more than 100 years for débarrasser earth anti-personnel mines . the third area concerns measures specific to propose , to monitor and to exécuter . for every child that we protégeons in bosnia , in africa and elsewhere in the life or the blessures gruesome engendrées by the mining , the efforts that we fournissons all are justifiés . we must indeed put pressure on the european union countries which have not signed , such as finland , or who have not ratified , such as greece . ladies and gentlemen , regardez finland ! finally , we hope that the tâches descendants of force militarily common european prévoiront training of technicians , especially for people who have an interest premises in the drowning in them . it is emphasises , nor is it that the list of countries most seriously affected is mainly composée from country to travelator of development . the proposals of the european parliament does sauraient be tougher in contradiction with the aims of lisbon . the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , hope that parliament decides to amend the commission 's proposal , mainly by adding certain areas where legislation is convenable and , furthermore , in définissant certain rights at european level . that is how the process of luxembourg , which applies to the policy on employment , should be extended to social protection and social exclusion . the most superpowers such as germany , france , great britain and , to some extent , italy , are all agreed about putting to their domination small countries of europe eastern and southern who aspire to join the european union . however , we feel for reasons court-related that this is a mistake to get bogged down in advance to article 6 of the treaty instituant the european community , because it has not been possible to formellement adopted within the convention - because of its structure , and does not , therefore , to existence is legal . we believe that the inclusion of a new text into the treaties rendering semer the confusion of regulations . furthermore , the rapporteur has done echoes of the new théorie in vogue in brussels , the prétendue dual legitimacy of the european union : that of citizens represented by the european parliament and the member states represented by the council . the danish social democrats swedes and danes voted today against the report drafted by mr olivier duhamel on the constitutionalising the treaties . it is essential that the european union évolue towards a constitution which incorpore the charter of fundamental rights . a constitution would only make sense if it was the united démocratique of a genuine federation in europe , for us in europe . it has told us having believed incomprehensible , along with many of the classe policy , which we préférions govern our relations with other countries with a treaty internationally . . ( en ) i welcome the report by mr duhamel as a contribution valuable and constructive in the run-up to the constitutionalising the treaties . they believe that a rearrangement and a simplification of the treaties would enable the citizens of mieux cerner the area of responsibility of the eu and its limitations and the procedures for exercising responsibilities in question . the charter of fundamental has been prepared on the basis of a convention which involve the national parliaments , the european parliament and the representatives of governments . until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe was a super syndicat intergouvernemental . the group edd voted against the report gil-robles gil-delgado on increased cooperation . it manifeste because the conception of a union intolerably monolithique , where all the cooperation should be expressed inside the ' framework institutionnel one-size-fits-all " , and where they should all be dirigées towards the objective of the super-état . so we must avoid ralentir the mobilised as a whole and thus allow some member states to move forward in développant the mechanism of closer cooperation . the structures opérationnelles single-market have always been a success since the early years 1990 . . ( nl ) cooperation at european level can be useful to solve the problems transfrontaliers . these areas could be a formidable laboratoire in terms of sustainable development . the technocrates , judges europeans , have liked as well delete " the granting of sea ' which alimente in resourcefulness our municipalities of dom and above all protects our artisans . however , the french possède the territories of outre-mer in the ocean indien and in the caraïbes . its independence will be an element indispensable to its credibility . our vote was therefore clarifié the role and the composition of the future authority , but also précisé our requirements regarding its financing and its independence . at second place , the european agency must be completely indépendante . we must take account of the kind of practical farming and agro-industrielles , problems of imports of goods eating , to the composition of feed materials for feedingstuffs of levels maximums of dioxins and résidus of pesticides , of composants food and others , by giving priority to food safety . we have voted in favour of amendment no 3 because we are very strongly committed to defending the patrimoine cultural européen related to food production locally . we have to margin in almost no category . we would also inscrire 50 % of story budgetary and put 50 % in reserve . i can tell you that other proposals are designed to diminuer this budget . report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the draft general budget of the european union for the 2001 - section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) madam president , i apparais as signataire of certain amendments to this report . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) the real surprise that this budget deals with external actions which domine selfishness and the mesquinerie . other resources could be débloquées by means of the flexibility instrument . i voted against the haug report , similarly , i voted in favour of the proposal of my group for the rejection of the general budget for 2001 . we référons primarily to the new draft pilot who financera the effects of information in relation to combating paedophilia . this shows , in some way , the lack of motivation which gives the european project , even amongst the citizens politiquement actifs . 20 to 30 % of the markets will thus again offerts competition with private . given that this cannot be guaranteed in the report before us , i voted against the report . if we combine the low level unacceptable limits nation , which décime the primes , with the réductions appended to the quantités of withdrawal , 50.5 % for the agrumes , 8.5 % for the apples and the poires and 10 % for the rest of fruit and vegetables on volume poured into the market , as we understand that , in order to high-sounding quantités products transformés to base for fruit and vegetables , there will be no end to the grid . it would be upshot reducing overall price , the putréfaction products in the champs and in the installations of container of coopératives , obliging and farmers to déterrer what they have cultivé . i voted in favour of this report because it correspond to the expectations of organisations portugaises sector horticole , which revendiquent switching draconien of the com in fruit and products horticoles cermis profoundly damaging to the national interests . report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) this problem plonge its racines at the expense of all , about everything , even in the quality of the environment and the climate , on the autel exploitation capitalist resources and the profit out of proportion . the countries affluent were agreed at kyoto to take charge of the nettoyage from their own atmosphère , though they were also made it possible , within the limits pretty strictes , to inscrire on their own listing of the outcome of réductions emissions that they are helping to achieve elsewhere . . combating the greenhouse effect is a matter of major for countries industrialisés , a duty notamment towards the people of tiers-monde which payent already in their lives the consequences of the réchauffement climate . all the art is to be in accommoder so as intelligente . we must also ensure and strengthen the effort orienté towards the détection of substances suspectées of êtres of perturbateurs endocriniens , perhaps in a legislative framework . consumers and smes will benefit not yet enough of the internal market , including the new euro entrenches the achèvement . furthermore , they have so far obliged the banks to communicate transfers transfrontaliers aged over 12 500 euros in their central bank to the purposes of statistics in the balance of payments . these companies will naturally satisfy requirements identical in matters of security and laundered . we are well aware of cases in which the cost of transactions , for payments transfrontaliers have increased postérieurement for introducing the euro , and that in the proportions , not négligeables . the european central bank could be involved in imposant a formula to transfer uniformisée for payments at european level , along with soutenant the establishment of a norme only for the numérotation accounts financial within the system of international iban . it is important that consumers embrace the euro . madam president , the report by mrs peijs , relating to payments in detail in the internal market , recapitulates the old revendication of the european parliament on the cost accounted for transferring transfrontaliers within the union . the report peijs the said himself in the preamble to the draft resolution and i quote : " what costs high correlated with transfers transfrontaliers nuisent to consumer confidence in the euro ' . we therefore have a lot to do here , but in this respect , the resources and the means of polices are more limited than what we can do to the issue of payments in detail in the internal market . the market of the euro is ressenti as an area interior and the citizens do comprennent not result in an area where the risks associated with changes are nuls and where payments électroniques , particularly the transactions banking via the internet , are increasingly courants , transfer between munich and salzburg costs a lot more expensive than transfer between munich and kiel . the achievement of this objective demandera yet , as you like us , and many years of work . we profiterons also of the opportunity to consider the raccourcissement from the date of implementation of payments transfrontaliers as the report by mrs peijs requests with insistance . the debate is closed . it seems , however , in a proper policy of préférer something pragmatic and local facilities , which puts the small business at the heart of the ruling , rather than a proposal which , disguised as to avoid the saupoudrage , do servirait only to produce a fair statistic which the use delivering would be completely impossible . specifically , i have three comments to make on this programme . rappelons than the first action programme in this area has been adopted in 1983 , in other words , there is dix-sept year-olds . furthermore , i have always striven to achieve these objectives by means of a policy practicable and pragmatic . i would say that it is of real commandos economic and innovation , is trouvant first in line with very exposées at risk inhérents in this area . we will finally to take account of the results of the work of the colloque ' sciences and governance ' , which was held last week in brussels , under the égide from the centre of foresight technological of séville as well as the followup of this colloque because there are many interférences with a subject that we traitons today . the rapporteur détaille a set of priorities aimed at strengthening the spirit of enterprise in europe . it is good for the image of europe because we can help the people deduced expeditious , accurate and appropriate . mr president , i désire , would like to associate with thanks for the excellent work fourni by mrs montfort . the important thing is to find the right balance , to avoid having to aucuns does échouent continuellement at dépens of others . this is not fair , and i support , therefore , this report . this is also the principle director of the charter for small businesses . the programme will ensure that networks fournissent this information . it is clear that the aim headline of this plan is to juguler the émigration towards the european union countries as well as rapatrier people who live illégalement within the union . i emphasise particularly the need to introduce measures to improve the safety of domestic strengthening dialogue between the eu and the authorities regional albania and , in relation to the commission and the council , the promotion of actions special in cooperation with the authorities albanaises , italy and greece . the absence of reports social , economic and political , combinée at the lack of safety and to organised crime débouchent about public flux for émigration of masse . mr president , unlike my colleague mrs pack , my understanding is that more must come to groups which are occuperont of albania , the better it will be . it is clearly not possible to find lodge a solution to the problem as a whole , albeit on a slightly longer term , the aim is to create a world of fairness and right , which provides for hommes safety and opportunities for the future . there is also a chasm between , on the one hand , the donateurs , in other words , we all , europe , the united states , which donnons money , which élaborons of projects , and , secondly , people who work on the ground . utilisons therefore agreements bilatéraux , which , quite rightly , clear , définiront work , the duration of séjour , the place of séjour , the rémunération , the pm , working conditions and social security , so that the immigrants deviennent and a force which will put on ice economies in our countries and contribuera off amitié and to cooperation between peoples and not in the culture of aspirations nationalists and dignes from the cold war . the men and women are re-exported so that they will have more or less intégrés . priority must not be given to the means to restrict the flux of migrants and refugees , but on how to improve the living conditions of the region in such a way that people did not to leave their foyer . mr president , i believe , too , as has rightly said , madam dimitrakopoulos , which are still at the heart of what constitutes the difficulties of albania - economic , social and security homemade . the question we can help to restore the rule of law , to conférer security to its citizens , to restore the authority of its institutions and its administrations locally . i share the opinion of mr liese , according to which we need to establish a distributing the burden of the common asylum and policy on refugees . the action plan for albania has been adopted in june this year , and that is why the sixième of gender . there is , in the population , a frustration diffuse , but also a méconnaissance of community law . we want to ask the european parliament and the other community institutions which will not reculer prefix the small business pénibles , to work with precision , to spend time and the staff required for the accomplissement of tâches . with this report , we want to show the citizens that we take seriously their complaints relating to the piètre quality of legislation as well as those relating to the régionalisation and to the centralisation excessives . this treaty is obviously important , although the number downgraded for people to débattre do leaves no perforce supposer at first sight . in addition , and this is a matter of major importance , the report aborde the question of subsidiarity , which , tonight , soulève the controverse here . it is also very interesting that it makes a state of the locations of legislation in the light of this principle , and making it simpler , more transparent , more efficient and more relevant in the débarrassant texts superflus - and this is invites paragraph 6 of the report . having étudié the report very carefully and i am reached the conclusion that it does not even from a political principle but with a principle théologique . we must therefore ensure recognising the principle of subsidiarity to the very smallest communities , to réalités autonomes , the formations intermédiaires , the formations social , to the families and individuals who are the uniques real souverains action legislative and administrative . i shall therefore you give understandings synthétique of the situation . i give the floor to mr bangemann . is it an area where we should move towards a regulation detailed , with a guarantee that it will be implemented everywhere , or should we move towards an agreement non-committal , pourvu that it can be implemented and contrôlé ? . ( de ) if i have voted in favour of this report , even if some of my amendments were not adopted , it is because it elaborates also on the issue of cost reared exchange-rate and transfer within the euro zone . when , in around fifteen months , the same pièces and notes will be introduits in eleven member states , it coûtera more expensive to bring this new togetherness currencies outside the country where they live . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to begin by saying that i regret that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , would not be here with us today . it should encourage cooperation with regard to fisheries and the area of fisheries marocain and simultaneously satisfy fully the interests of fishing for flottes european . we are therefore reached an agreement to work with the prospect of a partnership officiating , after what morocco présentera his views at a meeting to be held , as you pointed out , in brussels on 30 october , i.e. lundi . voici a few weeks ago i was myself went to algeciras , on the côte southern spain . this is not far away from the moroccans . the passing of time , we were able to observe that they were not only difficult but also that they could become impossibles . by means of fisheries agreements , the european union can exercer activities fishing and échanger of prérogatives fishing with third countries . i have lu in a revue technical swedish on fisheries how one of these bateaux débarque its grip on el aaiún , which is described as a port marocain . all this is being put to the épreuve . this is the whole of our fisheries agreements and not just with morocco because there is also the mauritanie and soon the guinée , among other things , which are remis into question . reference was made eleven months to come out of inflexion where we are at present , namely the meeting on 30 and , accordingly , we know too valuing the latest measures taken by commissioner fischler , the results of its voyage of 26 in morocco and the entrevues tenues at a high level , also with the roi itself . but i would like to convey to the commission , today fittingly person of commissioner busquin , some points very brefs . my question to the commission is this : if one does not in agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is reached in the words were highlighted by the commission , an agreement which stimule production marocaine , the commission pense-t-elle adopt measures to restructuring in order to compensate for the delay which has produira at regional affectées ? as the imaginions , the difficulties of negotiation with the authorities moroccan were high . finally , in the case , regrettable , where the negotiations échoueraient , the european union has an obligation for political and moral to support the fishermen and the propriétaires by subsidies satisfaisantes and aptes whenever they provide the means to subsistance . we must reduce the surcapacité of industrial fisheries community-related . we therefore need , as soon as possible to étroites relations economically and politically with morocco , while défendant simultaneously the interests of our fishermen of europe . that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership for development worthwhile both sides with : firstly , the development intact , in the sector of fishing in moroccan , the fleet , the european aquaculture , transforming trade , research and , secondly , the granting of susceptibility to catch the fishermen of europe . rights of professeurs of language the difference is nette , not just in language allemande . in july 1999 , the commission has borne this procedure of offence sub judice . therefore , at least , that there is parvienne to harmonize systems - what we hope - at the moment , observance of the principle of subsidiarity must not allow this to be done switching to a discrimination which , far more likely , is the call for a privilege . we can probably concede that the commission bowing , that of mr santer , was not the best , that is why it has allée . the members of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market across the european union and for all parties , have put together to proclamer the inutilité to talk about human rights and préconiser adopting chartes rights if , in situations of réelles where some people are deprived of their rights , there is nothing so that these rights are recognised and respected . this is the problem in the case here . this attitude is totally unacceptable in a europe moderne . the field of education is obviously still of subsidiarity , but as part of the treaties , the free movement of workers and the prohibition of discrimination , we are unpolluted at all , although we - and particularly moi , because i come from one country is very fédératif - we déclarions followers of the subsidiarity principle as raison d ordre cooperation within the european union and for us to engage in order for the allocation of competences between the levels in europe are classées as soon as possible under the principle of subsidiarity . in this context it can no longer be any discrimination . you , mr president , you feriez-vous soigner by someone who are aware of the terms chirurgicaux in italy , english , french , german , or by a chirurgien ? ( the sitting was closed at 10h56 ) we are showing our most deepest sympathy . i give the floor to mr ceyhun , who will speak as rapporteur , on behalf of the socialist group . with regard to the statements by the council and commission on the third meeting asie-europe , the council has made it known that it does not wish to speak at the moment . consequently , it is an issue which , under the treaties and of the treaty euratom , relates to the competence of the commission . it concerns , or could concerner , many people who are not only spaniards because there are , in the region and in that region , without there being any plan urgently , hundreds of thousands of european citizens from the 15 eu countries , without mentioning the many people who come from the outside world to take advantage of the costa del soil . madam president , it is triste , quoique very révélateur , to hear the interior minister of spain , mr mayor oreja , said that we do sert to anything dialoguer with the nationalists basques , even if a new cessez-le-feu was stated in the future . i should like to request that we examinions this week a statement by the committee on the decision by the government in britain to introduce a tax discriminatory for road haulage contractors not uk-based . given that parties that are said to suspension or even european tendent increasingly to be allier with military forces of inspiration xénophobe , racist and autoritaire . i think it is not just a danger grievous in italy but also a sign of something that affects the whole of europe . my report contains nevertheless some serious criticisms about the proposal french-owned . these applications are expressed in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . the initiative of the french presidency that we are discussing today is to object to improve both conventions directors-general of judicial cooperation in matters of criminal law - which i have précédemment citées - particularly in the area of combating money laundering . we have to admit that if the plan to combat money laundering has undergone a injury , the fact that just now is not in parliament , but the council . we have no alternative but to the praised the work . naturally , the path to follow , as the words of mr marinho . i agree - is the communautarisation . all those who have spoken have agreed that this was an excellent initiative , and we support the content . what we need here is that europol can operate across borders . these events are occurring all too often in our europe of today and , before i give my support
