we are well aware that the existing treaties are inadequate and will continue to another , more efficient structure for the union must be developed , namely a more pronounced constitutional structure with a clear demarcation of powers between the member states and the union 's powers . these are the first place messages of concern about the economic and social difficulties which we , in spite of continued growth as a result of many years of effort on the part of our fellow citizens are confronted . the current situation , particularly for the many self-employed hauliers , is unacceptable for agriculture , which must certainly be improved . the understanding of the procedure is a good thing in itself , but we must ensure that the system cannot be used as a political schlagwaffe it . you also have now clearly thinking of the rights which they must comply . i agree with his warning of a return to the apparently tempting to some of the intergovernmental methods . many of us want to see a federation of nation states , and this also means that everyone will take place right . the rapporteur , the level of debate and also stressed the need to go further . i can only agree with you , of course . the latter , i would like to say that it is a speech before the forces concerned will carry on taking them to familiarize them and balance , is a political speech must always be realistic and has always been kräftesituation and which we have in mind that objective . i would like us to take this closer cooperation in order to start with a few examples of the new europe 's capacity to provide . the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . amendment no 12 , which the commission must reject . i shall therefore vote for the adoption of regelungsentwurfs . thus , in the reports of the european court of auditors of constantly such low information referred to that of portugal and greece to happen again . that is why we have not voted for this report . those supporting such buses that are not universally applicable only cheaper and more environmentally friendly , but also because , as their fuel consumption per passenger is less . the report also calls for defining benchmarks , with a view to the dissemination of best practices in the eu level . a binding charter with full and comprehensive recoverable rights could create difficulties at a later date . i thank both for their splendid use . we do not believe , though , that he had to less than three months in nice will conclude . for that reason alone we cannot vote in favour of the charter at the summit in nice incorporate in the treaty . the european csu group welcomes the fact that the present draft the charter of fundamental rights of the citizens of the institutions and bodies of the eu 's fundamental rights corresponding summed up and be made visible . it is a reflection of the emergence of declining liberal europe . i really would have liked to see this charter will continue to work , as many ngos from different countries of the union have proposed . ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on hungary [ com ( 1999 ) by - c5-0028 / 2000 - c4-0353 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; so i would also like to propose that we as parliament next year , no more general table , but the only country reports which make it clear that we have a differentiated state of the negotiations concerned . it seems to me that the french presidency on the basis of the work of the previous presidencies , the commission can be done there - at least i hope that , at the nice council a fairly accurate overview of the accession process to be . as i said , and i repeat , the french presidency will not all the difficulties encountered bangers which obviously does not mean that we are now and have the possibility of each of these difficulties auszudiskutieren . this question is , of course , perfectly understandable , but we need to be properly and precise reply . it represents a major perspective , which is with us until and vision must tackle . not every outcome of the intergovernmental conference would be the enormous pressure of justice to enlargement . the second major change which we are seeing in europe and the need to adjust to the rapid acceleration of economic development towards the global market and to global competition . fourthly , the result is as yet another principle that the member states , which will then have started to a fair chance to catch , those who have already started . where great and long-term investment is needed in order to achieve that eu standards should be borne in mind that the present members in this case took to long transition periods . border security for the fight against crime and also apply to our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . but if we look at the current trade between the european union and the central and eastern european countries . fortunately , the commissioner has now finally to the citizens informed that the fears , first of which were discussed , were unfounded . but one thing is clear - and i welcome the fact that mr verheugen has stressed again : a transitional period for the observance of democratic rules cannot exist . that is why we need the help of the commission , because it lacks us with great determination sometimes the corresponding ammunition . that is necessary so that we , as the european union objectives are to be able to complete the internal reforms . but there are important issues and , in which we disagree . this runs counter to the european union , its future independence with regard to america and a common european defence and security policy , because it involves a number of dangers for the relationship with russia and other countries . however , we want results , and we want to see what is in preparation for enlargement should be done , not another intergovernmental conference to be postponed . i shall be brief , as i have already been done earlier when i made my first speech three minutes ' speaking time i have not used . this is very important , and i am very pleased that the commission is working on an information campaign , in the words of commissioner verheugen too much detail as decentralized basis will be done . but - and this is my final word , because i would like to say that it is quite clear : i am not a pessimist in this regard , i am not at present , i would like an unequivocal statement in favour of enlargement , if he is to be seriously , we must continue to be understood , we must be accepted by the peoples of the people of the candidate countries as well as our people , will win . now i see no need , in the context of enlargement on the financial perspective to talk . it is not one single , i can say today ! from the same reason , incidentally , you have also expressed the wish to join the european union . we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . i have been transferred to the responsibilities of the report on the request for estonia 's accession to the european union to present . as i am very conservative thrifty with taxpayers ' money to order . i believe that only you would have an idea of what the people of latvia in recent years have done . that is not enough , the whole of the strategy must be geared more towards the citizens are . lithuania has a considerable potential for a long-term economic growth . in the broadest sense , it is a question of the european union 's cooperation with the russian federation . a further point is handing the support of public opinion within and outside the european union . as a result of an intelligent fiscal stood at foreign direct investment in the last year to over 5,45 billion euros . we should not interfere in this regard , not even we germans ! the slovak democratic developing , stable , and in this area , we had already been different experiences . in my speech , i have six points of the development of the situation in hungary and an outline , from the perspective of joining the union are important . that is why i am pleased that this issue in the general report by mr brok on enlargement has been included . this is certainly not in any area of more than in the field of nuclear power , where there is a danger of the lobby of opposed the legitimate concerns in relation to nuclear safety and environmental protection for their own ends usurpiert . i should like my colleagues to support the formation of a high level group recommend . the report , which has also been adopted unanimously in committee , is to the conclusion that the part of the territory of the legal authorities , which falls , with the copenhagen criteria . this is the key role for the cfsp our high representative , javier solana , to which the commission 's own role , of course , remains intact . malta 's main problem is still being that the accession process will be judged differently from the government and opposition and the european union stresses that this accession process is progressing steadily . even between america and mexico have received the levels close gathered . why are we in the area of the single market for a deliberate , flexible and the challenge of a proper strategy . i should also like to say that i respect for the citizens of the central and eastern european countries have , for ten years ago , have had the courage to go to the streets and in this process have been set in motion . the information society is important for the old way for the new industry . we must also not be through the percentages of national legislation in umgesetztes blinded into community law . the 10 new eastern european countries have such a rich erbonkel not record . this applies equally to the transport of live animals - inhuman - to the slaughterhouse . now we are working with a regulation which is important for all legislative acts an assessment of the consequences for health policy . in my opinion , there must be dealt with by the european union to be made clear that the european regional development fund for not insisting on the basis of a tight financial distribution of the regions and areas must be granted . elmar brok was right in his speech by pointing out that we have taken all the benefits of enlargement will be , in particular , we on this side of the current external frontier . the binnenschiffverkehr will be important for environmental reasons too , because we tranship from the roads must be given and , if they are not on rail transport can , then we must use waterways . also self-interest and populism , not least , have played a part of the euro exchange rate has falling , and the result will certainly not be influenced positively . our message to the candidate countries is this : let us not get through to the extent of these reports and documents upset . unfortunately , at present have too many parties had their ideological together with the result that they represent an ideal too little and too - are . should it prove necessary , the right to free acquisition of land and people to suspend it , we should do so . it is now exist , but will perhaps by bureaucratic lack of transparency and public opposition from the obvious , but not at risk of certain governments . where are the millions of jobs which , moreover , the maastricht treaty should bring ? while we are heading in the treaties , yet again , to take some even call for the forthcoming reform . almost all international studies show in connection with enlargement on the macroeconomic profits towards that . however , the main objective of the slovenian policy - the early application to join the european union - apart from some considerable minority groups of any political grouping called into question . will enlargement of the union should be swiftly implemented , it would be decentralised to a large extent , the eldr group in its opinion on enlargement formulated . it was clear that the country for the typical strictly well-ordered anstaltsregime long-term consequences for the health of orphans has . i would like to ask for support to the corresponding amendments . and we ourselves , the european politicians , have too little insight into the negotiating process . cyprus will be almost as a bridge to the countries of the region may act . i wish the negotiators also continue to every success in this important area . the second type of communication is naturally important between our countries and the enlargement countries , in order to get the message to the european union is at stake here . we cannot afford to be more from the impetus from the beginning of the 1990s to lose out . mr president , i would like to begin , as rapporteur of the socialist group for the report on romania 's rapporteur on her excellent product congratulations . the institutions , for the member states , for us all , it is important to us that challenge , but also the fears of our own citizens to be able to demonstrate and restore the strength and vision , the ambition of the founding fathers of europe to be found . unfortunately i have the impression that this enlargement despite many fine words and , despite numerous and hard-working öffnens schließens chapter by the council not with the necessary political emphasis is being promoted . many countries of the union was at times of its development with similar problems and bulgaria could discuss , in order to help to overcome the current problems . democracy is not just a question of majority voting but , above all , a question of appropriate co-decision rights of minorities . the applicant countries must be given equal treatment and their accession must only be independent of their development . furthermore , we should recognize with as much use countries like lithuania try to make up lost ground . so it is in our interest to our legal and administrative freiheitssystem to extend to romania , and this is certainly in a critical public debate with our argument . in relation to one thing , however , there is a great deal of agreement , which is enlargement . my group therefore supports the limit of transition periods in the environmental field to a maximum of five years . mr president , we absolutely must be a positive move in the enlargement will bring . of course , is still on the order of the accession of the candidate countries to discuss , partly because there is the progress of internal reforms must be judged . i am pleased that the report is yes , so that slovenia is - and i have a head of delegation can check on several occasions , and the commissioner has been several times - with the massive really has initiated , to fulfil the criteria . i think that the proposal for a worthy of discussion . these forms of violence and trafficking in women are already using every means possible in both the eu and the candidate countries and to condemn it . finally , i would like to take this opportunity to debate and the concern of many colleagues , who , at last make it necessary to consider carefully the question of europe 's borders and to the extent of its enlargement and the purpose of producing a report of the european parliament to examine this matter . - the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . - thank you . in this house will rightly pointed out again and again that in a europe of citizens ' rights in the right of the union must be built in . i shall now put the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the vote . we know that it looks at the undesirable substances we are talking about is very rarely to acute toxic substances are involved , but rather of long-term effect durables , and these substances such as dioxins , aflatoxin and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury , lead . today we can no longer make the sinners tracked . if these verschneidung permits , it must at least an application for the control and it must be made public that there are those verschneidung , because this problem must also be aware of the public to be discussed . one thing must be clarified : the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal acts against existing regulations . mr president , i should like to thank the honourable members , who have spoken before me . this was a pressing need . the limit value for fish meal is different from , for example , the limit value of marine organisms manufactured products manufactured from for not being proposed . it is high time that we misleading this interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity , with the imposition of our nations from brussels is growing every day , to put an end . i believe , as the rapporteur 's opinion that the measures proposed are justified and which must be controlled substances listed individually , although they are not toxic , in combination with other substances which are nevertheless of values . unfortunately , a great deal of knowledge and to healthy überliefertem bauernverstand in industrial agriculture , where the animals on production units and goods have been reduced to have been lost . the new regulations will be the very detailed and complicated , for the number of directives have been distributed , together , harmonisation and simplified . the number of those who have the ingredients exactly question , according to my research is relatively small . secondly , but rather an amendment has been around for farmers in animal feed raw materials , which are the producers . they are much more in future be obliged to destroy ausgangsprodukten of parties . the compensation is needed , although it is undeniable that the farmers themselves also have a great responsibility for the welfare of animals have . it is expressly requested in amendment no 18 , water in the definition of feedingstuffs should be included . on the basis of scientific risk assessments of the member states , the commission will take suitable measures to set limit values for these substances in animal feed recommend . after the review of the amendments which have been submitted in this sitting , i welcome parliament 's support for the proposal . as a whole , the commission can accept amendments nos 15 of the 27 member states . i assume that this time it will have no success . the commission has promised that they will work on and that it has also announced that it is not until tomorrow will be completed . farmers must be very easy to understand better at least to question time and in what percentages everything and the extent of compound feedingstuffs should be included in this . finally , i should like to congratulate the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , and also mrs roth-behrendt sincerely to thank for their reports and hope that the council on this issue , a constructive attitude and we stand together in a transparent system of feedingstuffs arrive . this is something we have clearly thanks to the tragedy with bse , which is becoming a real novel to several chapters has developed . pollutants , the human and animal health influence , which are not acceptable . however , we shall begin with the positive . the proposal before us is the beginning of a number of initiatives which relate to the white paper on food safety issue . thank you , mr president , commissioner . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy on hungary 's accession to the european union and the state of negotiations ( com ( 1999 ) by - c5-0028 / 2000 - c4-0353 / 2175 ( cos ) ] report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy on romania 's application for membership of the european union and the state of negotiations ( com ( 1999 ) - 510 c5-0033 / 2000 - c4-0353 / 2171 ( cos ) ] thirdly , and perhaps the most difficult presupposes that the council to take on new institutional arrangements agreed that what the efficient , effective and democratic functioning of the community after enlargement , secure . for this greater europe need these institutions , which is intended to promote the development of the east , but also room for national sovereignty and differences leave this excellent principle should also apply within the european union . finally , i would like to stress that the enlargement process and gradually anpassungsfortschritten compatible with the applicant countries must be carried out . in the current context and in view of the vote , which are beginning to listen , and the european union enlargement into question , it is important that parliament send a clear political signal for this enlargement means . the european union serves since its creation of the reunification of peoples . the criteria of the council of copenhagen in 1993 the democratisation process and to strengthen competitiveness , under the guise of ' acquis communautaire ' destructive and the rule of unbridled capitalism . under these circumstances would be a headlong pursuit of the enlargement process to a resurgence of populist and excesses faschistoiden places which have been observed , lead . we have just on the agenda of this sitting a report on equal opportunities for men and women , of course again illustrates just how bad things with the acquis communautaire in practice , it is precisely what is in this area . anyone who wanted to poland 's kopernikus johannes-paul ii and access to the european parliament to refuse to budapest in 1956 battered hungary or the symbolic capital in prague in which the people 's democracies once the leader of a fenstersturz absetzten and the people of jan palach which focuses on the freedom to use violence opferte niederhielten . a greater europe with more duties and responsibilities needs new and more financial resources . on this occasion i regards the older people and the pensioners in estonia and i would hope that we will ensure that we wish you a very existence of the european union can be effectively . if latvia continue to make progress and the european union 's institutional structures and policies has adapted to cope with enlargement in so doing , i do not see why latvia not within the union should be included . if they continue to make progress and the european union 's institutional structures and policies has adapted to cope with enlargement , it can , i do not see why lithuania cannot be included in the union . the environmental sector are also in the creation of ' national fund for environmental protection and the application of the ' polluter pays principle has been progress . if the union poland to our common house opens the door to allow them to this between fairness prevail - a justice which this country too long been denied . i look forward to the early accession of the czech republic to the european union . i welcome the report by mr queiró , on the request for hungary 's accession to the european union , and can support the vast majority of his conclusions . i hope that the european union in bulgaria not too distant future will join . poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) it is a balanced and fair , the opinion of the council seriously to note . in this context , i hope that the talks under the auspices of the united nations fruit , so that the greek and turkish cypriot community in all of the benefits of accession in the context of a reunited republic can benefit . i welcome the report by mr poos , on the request of the republic of cyprus to join the european union . but we find ourselves at the end of the most extreme consumer chain and are therefore in favour of the last sammelbecken modified foodstuffs and misleading . we are , in particular , to ensure that the food at european level and in concrete form from farm or from field to the table is guaranteed . precisely because we are truly equal rights for strengthening solidarity and cooperation relationships between all the countries of the world , we do not intend to do with our vote to support a farce . the council informed parliament before the vote in committee , however , is so short that it deliberately further talks with me or were prevented from parliament . in my report i have not only for greater involvement of ngos and representatives of a greater accountability to parliament , to submit an annual report and a debate on this in parliament and the calls for maximum transparency , but i also said that the multiple discrimination and recognise the memory of the past to keep them alive , in order to combat the use of prejudice the future . we must also be taken into account the legitimate interests of workers . as the social partners are mainly responsible for the regulation of diskriminierungsfragen at work best placed in a position to produce a workable solutions . is the coordinator of her access-charter-gruppe and came from me on to the public hearings on article 13 invited . in practice because , guidelines and action plans to offer incentives that member states to combat discrimination based on the same basis , and you will allow the commission to perform their role as guardian of the treaties , but also in social debate gathering . although the present legal basis for funds for new preparatory actions could release , their funding within this category of mittelreduzierung lead to other policies . this is a proposal for a necessary but insufficient framework directive which we will have the opportunity to take its mechanisms , after a certain amount of perfecting clearer . i hope the commission will , in the light of this new directive carefully to the issue of discrimination on grounds of gender issues . i congratulate the commission and to my colleagues who have worked on these reports . i welcome the recommendation of the mann report , and non-confessional organisations to be able to be a requirement in vocational training for staff conditions are , of this recital based . the fact that the institutions as soon by the treaty of amsterdam new powers granted to make use of evidence that the european union in the field of equal opportunities , still plays a leading role in time , commissioner , i would like to express my appreciation of the european commission . the presence of various kinds of discrimination in our societies confirmed the importance of the present action programme , as far as the report by mr cashman is concerned . mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , i would like our concerns about the way the treatment of the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia by the union and member states to say . can the commissioner to explain why this aspect , the commission ignores ? the second is for me to the problem that ngos are as important as it were , there will be asked to take whatever the size of its kind , and its action in order to try to implement . the liberal group has all this is positive , particularly the work of the european parliament , which is also and above all , special emphasis on the prevention of discrimination , and the best practices submitted . this is a challenge for all of us , because we all the people after the first impression judge . mr president , if we fight against discrimination and rules adopted , then we admit their existence and even the fact that many of your forms has now become ' legal ' , as they belong to feature . firstly , the unctad , the welthandels- and the united nations conference in geneva in 1963 , the principle of positive measures to be drawn up of discrimination . the information and awareness does in fact a fundamental role in this area , they must be done in order to prepare a new mentality , new misconception and behaviour twenty-fifth so that there are still in people 's prejudices once and for all can be removed and all citizens of real equality is guaranteed . that is why it is now important to both with the means of legislative initiative to make progress in some areas , either by being improved and the funding of the programme budget be increased , what the political importance of combating discrimination expresses . in particular , the agreement on the principle that appropriate adjustments in sweden and ireland , has played a leading role in ensuring that the employer in europe to adapt their jobs and their business sonderausstattungen can be changed , that disabled people has a real chance . the article 13 provides the basis for a new spirit of the eu , namely the fight against discrimination or of unequal treatment of citizens , for reasons which are listed in article . secondly , i would like to point out that the commission in this first package unfortunately there has to be a serious mistake made by the grounds for discrimination in a hierarchy compatible . mr president , a religious discrimination on grounds is neither to tolerate such as any other form of discrimination . as a staunch supporter of the secularism , therefore , i do not agree with this idea . the noble idea , the greatest possible freedom guaranteeing all citizens , provided they are the same degree of freedom of the other is compatible , is still some obstacles to factual part or in part , legal nature . one of these directives was already very quickly adopted , and i am very hopeful that the other in november during the french presidency will be approved . some are not consistent with other legislation , for example , the amendment on the procedure in the committees . i must reject amendment no 38 and the proposed deletion of article 5 of the list of permitted in the event of a profound discrimination on the grounds of age are included . you have the important question of being taken up . in this action programme for the first time , the joint projects are planned . it is obvious that the code of conduct will be more effective , the more countries to join in the world . in article 7 of the code of the member states to commit themselves to prevent weapons to users are passed on . mr president , i admit that i am for the times zurücksehne in which the european parliament , but also by the various peace movements and unions demand for reflection and measures to continuously reducing arms were made and we have asked the question of how the production of civilian production could be changed . given the situation in which the world and our continent today , after the end of the cold war and the collapse of the destruction of horror aufrechterhaltenen balance is to be a sort of irresponsible behaviour . these weapons are almost become a symbol for the anarchy in many parts of the world . the cfsp , covering measures to stability outside the union 's borders , but nothing that can be described as a common defence policy . the aim of the export of arms to the national governments , which violate human rights , and in such situations in the areas in which a race is taking place to prevent . the commission , in close cooperation with member states involved in drafting the joint action of the european union on small arms and light weapons participated . the next item is the joint debate on the commission 's communication on the european research area . other aspects , the introduction of grants for longer periods involved are half way between the funding of institutional and financing are located in the treaty ; the use of instruments ' variable-geometry ' , in particular , the union 's participation in national programmes , as provided for by article 169 of the treaty . we want to promote this hierarchisierenden nature , and that depends on the förderform on this . you say you dächten to a total shake-up of the framework programme . i believe we need today to something that the european research area will give a structure which is something that goes beyond the framework programme , with the national programmes to be supplemented . we need a strukturierendes element , so we need to introduce methods . as for the discussions with the stoa-referat is concerned , i believe we must do something together , as parliament , the joint research centre and the zukunftsforschungsinstitute across the member states are affected . obviously the commission is advancing with leaps on completing the european research area too . it is a whole chapter on science and society , to give our citizens . we have had contacts with the authorities in greece , ireland and portugal , for the governments of these countries to ask the commission of their projects under the cohesion fund as quickly as possible . perhaps it is the lack of a service , which you have just mentioned and which is in the past , the commission was devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund , which is due to the fact that you any more detailed information . my second question is as follows : in addition to the cohesion fund is the community support frameworks , the structural funds , the programmes etc. from countries which have been submitted to you definitive plans and programmes which countries what they have already approved ? in 1989 , the commission has a new proposal which should offer greater flexibility . i appreciate the remarks of mr bolkestein to appreciate and i know that one of the principles of the treaties is that foreign companies should not pay more than domestic must , however , the general rules for fair competition in europe also apply here . in cases disproportionately high taxation , we should remember that the effects of competition law in this situation could have , though , that these matters in general is the responsibility of member states are subject . if you want to save fuel taxes then by taking this and not by other besteuerungsformen . mr purvis , i would say that the issue of natural disadvantages , regional likely cause of national governments , which is in fact a part of your electorate in those peripheral regions and peripheral regions . mr president , thank you , madam commissioner , for your information . in spring last summer and the european commission has been a comprehensive review of its activities and its staffing carried out . there are such tasks . they are increasingly being exploited by tourists and business people , the remarkably often come from europe . the commission takes the view that all companies will be able to take time to prepare the final changeover to euro which includes adapting their computer systems and the software heard . the theoretical political discussion is no longer on the agenda , although we can discuss the dangers of a referendum in general , but perhaps on another occasion . this also applies in for . recently , was sent to the french authorities sent a reminder . on the applicant countries , i can tell you that on this issue meeting with you have taken place and interim agreements were concluded . during the course of the commission frühjahrsaussaat seeped cases of complaints from conventional plant varieties of seed imported note , cotton , including the traces of gm seeds 's procedures . but since i am pleased with his department kurzgeschlossen , i am able to inform you that fundamental safety requirements in terms of equipment for private use or functional duties in a directive on electrical products , the so-called niedrigspannungsrichtlinie and also in the directive on equipment and equipment are laid down . it would seem to me that we agree that here mistakenly distinguishes between security and safety at work in the classrooms or safety a baby computer is sitting at home ? perhaps he shaking his the hand of president khatami . aung san suu kyi lives now de facto under house arrest . i am therefore very hesitantly , trade or introduce more with further measures in terms of trade and investment demand . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : in doing so you are referring , for example , forbade the visited you have had . questions nos 16 to 44 will be answered in writing . we are calling for a consolidated report , the european parliament to do and negotiation should be published . rather than that , as we have with the other weapons producing countries of the world can compete , we should instead concentrate on the transition to civilian production . the five permanent members of the security council whose task which is actually about our security to ensure that these proposals should heed and as quickly as possible to negotiate an agreement which is worthy of the 21st century . the debate today marks an important step in the reform process which the commission under mr prodi nearly a year ago was started . i cannot but on the idea that the commission in the race for the establishment of a proposal within the timeframe laid down in the reformweißbuch has not managed to every individual points very carefully balanced . that is why i suggest that both the financial controller , the internal auditor should draw up an extensive annual reports on their activities . in the van hulten report is that the commission has rightly advocated by separation even worse and a workable approach for the exchange of best practices between the institutions for . that is to be hoped that this will not happen again ! if we make provision for the large institutions , then , the committee of independent experts called for by all along the line will apply . in the past we have very often seen how far too long in the decision-making process for applicants to disappointment and at a loss in the european institutions have produced . i ask the commissioner say that this report is only an intermediate step . this means that it is the first step towards building a bridge between the current system and the reform of the agreement which we want to do it . that is , the proposal now before us . only if they are in a position to do that , too , the selection sampling which often being monitored reversed . in addition , simple declarations , we are all aware that this is certainly not an easy thing to do this . i believe , of course , that we are neither politicians nor as an absolutely technicians are able to tackle the problem alone . fortunately , however , there is a quite overwhelming majority of children and young people in an environment in which none of these problemmerkmale contains . i agree with the commission unreservedly to that such a catalogue of reminiscent of the constitution , which must be worked out . it is obvious to me that the principle of subsidiarity must be strengthened and to the eu 's policies has many impregnable whose responsibilities are not transcend borders . information and all the world over are wissensgebieten within a very short time into the house , by and communicate the around the world is in their everyday lives . they were quickly arrested in relation to the police and saying : ' is indeed strange , in the series will not be taken quickly . the legislator - and i will conclude - cannot regulate everything , but it is sometimes the the rights and obligations of every point . i also appreciate the remarks for training , education , the ability of the market of images , and to raise awareness of the younger generations , the media is a critical look at some point , and is not doing anything at all . nothing is going to make their views in the development of harmful effects , as if a report like this to no progress , or to any greater mobility , at least not managing to remove the barriers which , of which the ausbildungsmobilität today is concerned . in the various countries are disparate solving problems : it is , for example , with different rules in the fields of social security , grants to residence and tax legislation or about the lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and praktikumsaufenthalten . it is time that the europe of the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe is paying attention again . the experience of the mobility of students and teachers , show that the real defects is not primarily in education , but the social , fiscal and immigration are . as an example of this has been included in the socrates programme . we need to give a clear clear monitoring , control , but of inspections and , above all , a trading must be set up a page where the pupils and students can make their complaints . we therefore call upon the inclusion of self-employed of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . but this is easier said than done . the debate is closed . we very much appreciate your approach to follow the example of president jacques chirac or foreign minister , joschka fischer peace-oriented . the union must speak with one voice in the foreign policy and a common defence and sicherheitsfähigkeit develop . what we need is a entscheidungsforum to tackle the problems which are of vital importance to both parties , such as the migration to the relocation of production factors , or the energy supply . in the resolution to the reports of the commission , on which you will shortly to vote on this matter very thoroughly discussed . it has drawn up by the indicators will enable an evaluation of the progress made . alongside the ministerial conference and the epstein on equal treatment in employment should be two important specifically on equality , which , in the field of employment and social affairs ' council ' falling texts are mentioned . the second concerns the principle of non-discrimination , including the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of sex . i would point out to the reports - the president-in-office has also been mentioned - that the important cultural differences , of course , one of the major problems within the eu members . furthermore , the reports that we are discussing here , which reflect this . we must check that the directive on equality in actual fact been included in the legislation will take place . i believe that the first time in finland in practice followed in many areas and practicable , by taking this as part of the commission 's gleichberechtigungsstrategie much remains to be expected . on behalf of the french have equal opportunities for women , thanks to the european union acquired the right to work . as a french woman i find such a point of view of the world the hardest alien . despite these comments , we will vote in favour of this report , because we are of course for the equal opportunities means , but above all , everyone will be respected . mothers who takes on the freedom to their own children without remuneration to educate receives , sooner or later the bill in the form of juvenile and vandalism presented . i would mention here of our report on the rights of divorce breaking-up that finally the benefits for the survivors and the retirement age in the directive to be involved in 1979 . the polish women were very grateful that we have made it clear that the representatives of the fact that there was not the position of the polish women has reported . greater involvement of women at all levels of government and in every life is an essential condition for the development of democracy and for the achievement and the preservation of peace . finally , i would like to comment on the situation of women in the countries themselves , they say , the european union accession preparations . the council , and especially the men in which he has made in this area is an enormous task of europe in the fight against women to conduct a responsible politicians cannot ignore this slave schulterzuckend or move to ignore . the reports and speeches which we are currently analysing , we can see from which many of us have been clear , namely that the issue of equal opportunities is structural in nature and global strategies for his solution needed , because we women are not yet a category a homogeneous social group and nor are we a group . indeed , i have noted with some regret that maria de belém roseira these posts person not more . two of its new as speakers have mentioned , new steuerrechte . thirdly , they are the bases of a strategy for the european union charter of fundamental rights , even when it was important that we have an overview of the situation was available , but also at national level , as the member states now in a comparative assessment national targets set out . the joint debate is closed . these amendments must be included in the context of the interinstitutional agreement be understood and that is why i cannot refrain from parliament , the object of the committee procedures exist , because they become the new interinstitutional framework to some extent become irrelevant . however , i maintain that the text adopted by parliament at the time the new realities of the internal market and the liberalization of markets producing better account , since the elements of monitoring and information , which in the accepted amendments were not included , a greater guarantee offered that rules are observed in its implementation and the same procedure applicable to us . if we want the third countries must accept the commitments which the european community first to be careful , to respect its own regulations to ensure that if a country has the power to schmuggelwege products on the market with the community 's sake , why should we make the effort to make any concessions negotiated with us ? at the same way , it is parliament 's amendment concerning the application will papierlose . the council has been taken up by member states ' customs authorities to provide themselves with the most modern automated verwaltungsinstrumenten accord . but now it is too late , because you have just left and the members to vote in favour of this situation . votes ( continuation ) report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , the annual reports on the commission ' equal opportunities for men and women in the european union - in 1997 and 1998 , 1999 ' [ com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5 ­ b5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) - c5-0289 106 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 / 2000 ) , 123 c5- 0290 -1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ] . ( fr ) i am not the first time a statement on the mobility of students and teachers from . this report is important to all the more important than it is a crucial moment for the european union , and that is the forthcoming enlargement to be made . discrimination cannot be combated through the creation of additional authorities , but solely and exclusively in the minds of people . . ( fr ) i have not voted for the mann report because , in particular , in fact necessary to seek treatment in employment and occupation has therefore not been so far in excess of action to protect the freedoms and respect for the rule of law are entirely been forgotten . as a representative of secularism , the separation of church and state , i could not give it my support for this . president , the snp welcomes this directive and its objective , to put an end to discrimination at work . if the directive acceptable and which should be viable , must not be overloaded with literature and wishful thinking , for in a legislative text nothing to do with them . the eplp has strong reservations , however , to the following areas : both issues such as the overall implementation of the training for certain age groups of workers , the kind of schlichtungssystems and the interpretation of this directive on the part of our opinion , the smes should be left to the member states . mr van hulten has quite rightly , in the interview that we will have a positive agenda can begin to problems such as fraud and waste , but also a lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process is completed . the reasons for my vote in favour of this report are mainly with the question of closer relations of the european union to nato and the rapid introduction of a common defence system . the report also as a little about european solution for the future regional conflicts are discussed in the border regions of europe . however , i cannot accept that this with the demand for a common defence policy and a european security and defence identity within nato connected with it . . ( el ) the children are the first victims of violence on television . i welcome the fact that the results of this study now available . at community level , it is also a expertenausschuss task with the power to draw up a memorandum , the general principles for the protection of minors in the media contains . dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) . ( el ) it was here for the first time that we need to recognise the effectiveness of the commission arising from the annual reports by political initiatives to be assessed . mr president , peru is currently experiencing moments of uncertainty , and we all have the hope that the current situation is achieved through a process in which all civil and political rights be guaranteed , and the strengthening of the consolidation of peace and democracy in peru will serve as a country that over the last fifteen years 25 000 have lost their lives . the word , in order that we are dealing with here is ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which in may this year in peru , elections are over , were unacceptable . b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the confederal group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . i am therefore pleased that the decision taken some important points on the situation of women , and draws attention to the need to support in order to further the total discrimination against women by taliban-führung prevent . the eu has an important task here . there is no recognition of the member states , it must not be so long as the policy of human rights violations , and especially the systematic discrimination against women , will be resumed . this , and the fact that the money from the purchase of weapons producing drugs is used , we must not lose sight of the european institutions . however , it will be the neighbouring countries in the improvement of their ability to combat drugs strongly support . i believe the time to be suited to recall that the european union policy towards latin america should draw up a compassionate that might be able to prevent these countries are experiencing crises at regular intervals , as some have occurred . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission as the house welcome the release of the spanish jesuitenpaters alejandro matos castro during the last week . b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the liberal group to macedonia : law on universities and universities ; that is why we are all very pleased that the problem of higher education is now at last may be a very good way forward to this . in my opinion , this is certainly a good example to all the countries bordering on the fact that education is not hate seeds may be , as it now as often happens , but that education as well as the cradle to find a peaceful , multi-ethnic society can serve . i should also like , we would have found a solution to all the parties in the european parliament would have to subscribe . here i should perhaps take the opportunity to point out that the commission , in cooperation with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , have already had good experience . with today 's debate not only do we want to express our condolences . firstly , we are talking about what has happened , which is why it happened in the way we can find a solution for the future , as has been made by the commission and parliament can contribute to such an incident does not just happened . in any case , we agreed with this joint resolution and support him in the form of urgency , and for the reasons already explained , we reject the amendments that have been tabled again in the urgent procedure . on the amendment on working conditions for : this is already the subject of a directive , and the amendment is not in any case in point as the text itself . it is for the north west of scotland islands and quite simply unacceptable , not be possible for the north sea crossing on the continent , which will hopefully not too distant future is set up . i welcome the fact that the greek government has now been reversed this liberation . therefore , the commission following the sinking of the samina express immediately to the greek government appealed to the request for information regarding the application of existing community legislation to obtain . i would like to raise the issue and ask you to do so in the presidency to clarify whether , after the abolition of fridays from one side on the abolition of already started . i would like to inform you that from the european union the mechanism set in motion so that we are , once the will of the serbian people respected , in other words , once a kostunicas supported the electorate 's government is formed which can act as follows : firstly , an immediate lifting of sanctions and another wirtschaftshilfepaket in support of the serbian people in the reconstruction of its economy . at this time in the streets of belgrade , perhaps , will decide whether the democratic change now advocating and whether it might arise peacefully . we condemn all actions which are to be regarded as a provocation , in particular , as regards the holy places in jerusalem . we must give the people - as mr solana has said - with the meeting in zagreb hand quite symbolic the rich . the most schockierendsten is that the police and the israeli army splittergeschosse gave , in the release into the body of dozens of shells zerbersten share , which is internationally , even in fighting between soldiers are banned , and now against civilians are used . i believe that europe can and must do a great deal in this direction , and i reject any clear and decisive action . it must , therefore , will do everything in order fire as quickly as possible to reduce . provocation , such as the course of action by ariel sharon , must not . that is the case again today , and so will the european union , as we have all over the last few years , no role as mediator in the middle east can assume that you are being left to the united states alone . we are not the serbian people lofty ambitions and our moral victims , because that would mean that perhaps thousands of people die in serbia and yugoslavia is concerned . finally , i would like to propose as soon as possible and as soon as a new yugoslav government is formed , with a delegation from parliament to travel to go along with this new yugoslav government plans to build a new serbia to make . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , it is clear that we in parliament today may be a historic day , perhaps in the end of the last of the cornerstones of a totalitarian dictatorships in europe . mr president , there is a problem , and in the german issue for the urgencies are only , i wonder whether this also occurs in the other language versions - only the amendments of the gue group abstained , however , not all the resolutions and certainly not the joint text . mr president , i just wanted to colleagues on the euroregister to draw attention to the points to know what we have taken this week to the vote . if parliament could table amendments to the council decision , it would also certainly high unemployment and social problems of croatia to point this out of the country are mandated put that in this context , however , there is no legal basis for these amendments . this is the opportunity to take the same objectives with regard to the eib 's activities to demand . mr president , yesterday evening , we have here on serbia , and there are undergoing revolutionary changes mentioned . i would therefore strongly urge the honourable members , especially the council to call , in the coming months in the negotiations on the budget for next year and for the years afterwards as close to the commission 's proposal is to remain which , in my opinion , the total costs in croatia and in other parts of the balkans , still has a better understood . in 1990 there have been held in democratic elections , the international court were free and fair . therefore , of course this financial assistance , so in this guarantee , but also a strong call for the commission , and this profoundly european genuinely democratic and constitutional governed massive support to this country and in the number of applicant countries to hold , as i believe that croatia has deserves our full backing . like the rapporteur , i am therefore wondering whether the money is being made available , particularly as it appears that , then they will also be large flows must go to serbia and the union budget does not increase it . also , the delegations of the croatian parliament and the council have asked to extend the mandate of the eib . i hope that as soon as possible and contacts are like croatia also to the serbian people who have the greatest respect , deserves our support to this . ( parliament approved the minutes . in this respect , we call for the women in the european parliament to take part in this mission to participate , on tuesday and wednesday we will launch an appeal that we will be signed and collection points for participation in the face of the delegation , which are precisely the point made between women bridges peace to propose , in a place where there is violence instead . as a whole was both basques , spaniards hardships suffered ; and spaniards basques have enough by the current conflict . madam president , you will recall that i , at the last part-session at the plight of the british pro-democracy james mawdsley of democracy have pointed out by the burmese authorities detained was illegal . madam president , for me , it is really a matter of the rules of procedure . this report , which is not technically concurrent to major political changes have to think that is the reality is very important because it means indirectly introduces the possibility of genetic engineering in wine-growing using genetically modified products and therefore to get on wine-growing . if we are not going to vote on the report , and it will be delays . the conseil d ' etat has - as you said - that appeal , and we have been rejected this rejection in properly informed . again today , however , such a case of a member of the ppe group is concerned , it is not , however , my political camp in italy belongs . this is why we so keen for the introduction of a social scoreboards a , as has happened to the internal market , with clear measures , with time , with option . i hope , madam minister , can the council from the expectations of parliament , and hopefully will inspire you manage to which the european council in nice in an ambitious objectives enshrined in the european social agenda , then we can work together in the coming years . following the informal council of employment and social affairs on 8 july in paris , the presidency had all players involved - of course , the european parliament , the economic and social committee , the committee on the regions , the social partners and the ngos working groups and committees , the council urged him to convey its proposals . the debate on the comparison of the quantitative and qualitative aspects is inappropriate and , in lisbon has been clearly defined a dual purpose : more jobs and höherqualifizierte jobs . this mobility must be promoted and also the protection of the professional career be guaranteed . we must try to make the gaps in the system to specify and also to appoint and , in any case , to bear on the agenda . the open coordination method is in our opinion of the right way to guarantee a social europe . the implementation of the lisbon objectives farm-to-fork society requires community efforts , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the service sector , especially in terms of the information society . the commission can do a great deal , but the social problems are and must include a regional basis and a very sensitive to the specific conditions to be dealt with . the social dimension served as compensation for the folgenschwersten effects of economic policy . it would have been better if the original commission proposal as to allow such as it was good luck , commissioner . it is an ambitious agenda , and i still remember with difficulty , as we in the last parliament came forward with social protection . i think it would do well to the women in so doing , to support their family and working life to reconcile . i sometimes get the impression that , with the concept of often undermining the modernisation of social protection is meant . what are the most important features of content ? yet it is difficult to define european objectives which are equally valid for all member states , because the reality is proving a quite different . there have been 49 amendments tabled by the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities presented . in an amendment proposes that an annual here in parliament have a debate on the subject , together with the commission to implement . another point is the increased support for the community 's assessment of needs to take additional measures , including , if necessary , the implementation of legislation on equality and the fight against discrimination . it has certainly been in the past of good ideas and plans for the lack of gender equality , but unfortunately the implementation thereof often failed . it is not acceptable for the voice of the women of a handful of forderungsprofis monopolises will be taken to do with public money kept alive . it is the question of gender equality in the civil sector to allow women to enable it to the full benefit of the human rights and fundamental freedoms to come . what i expect that , finally , the male players in this direction and outdated role stereotypes and combat . we must thank you , however , that it has followed our debate , for their presence throughout the debate was not actually envisaged . competition policy . we owe our companies are the most favourable conditions to enable them to their production and not least its future can plan . consumers must have access to a wide range of quality products to be attractive prices , and that is , ultimately , the reason that we want the internal market and so on free competition is because our citizens benefit from it . that is the beihilfenentscheidung nichtbeihilfenentscheidung or in the area of coal . point 16 of the report by mrs riis-jørgensen calls for greater legal certainty in the implementation of the control of mergers and more efficient and more rapid time treatment in the case of recourse to the courts . in all cases , these are public companies which are not their financial management , but instead about a previous monopoly or stand for . we need increased involvement of citizens in the information about the competition policy , so that he recognizes the benefits . they are for the economy and employment in the regions , extremely important , and i hope that this aspect in future stresses , so that these national subsidies for regional development and the regional economy , for example , weitergezahlt transport market . this communication contains three right messages . i also warmly thank mr evans for his excellent report on the community rules on state aid to the steel industry , and respect for the commission 's report on state aid in the european union . the members mrs palacio and mr karas and also the other members who have spoken about these issues , i should like to say that its concerns on board many of the regulation . otherwise we would ourselves in our efforts to promote competition and the consumer a disservice . the debate is closed . with this financing is article 119 of the ec treaty being implemented under the third phase of economic and monetary union will only for the single currency is not the acceding countries . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i am thankful that today we are still on the proposal for a council directive amending directive 193 / 68 / eec on the marketing of vegetative material with regard to discuss , and i hope to be a positive vote tomorrow . some of you have on 5 july the appeal made by beaune its concern with regard to the introduction of gmos in their business expressed . it contains provisions to facilitate further the cause of vielseitigem justifications reproductive material , since it best gesundheitsgarantien which provide for the effective support for the restructuring of wine in the community , the key element of the new com in wine which is urgently required . it must be said loud and clear that it was necessary in any way , the rule of this directive to mention the amendment to directive 90 / 220 , which is fully to fill , unless we wanted the manipulation of weinreben forcibly forward . amendment no 35 to 40 can accept , aimed at the security and defence managementerfordernisse under directive 90 / 220 consistent given . i would like to say that the plenary session , was not invited to take a position as such . madam president , i refer to paragraph 14 of this protocol to the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . on the qualified majority , i would like to comment on something . there are also the weighting of the two options are still on the table : the simple weighting for which a small majority emerges , or the double majority , but on the basis of various formulae such as double simple or neugewichtete majority , or some sort of ' demographic network ' . furthermore , the european council without prejudice to bedarfsbewertung and the coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic of yugoslavia , the commission and the european central bank to be carried out jointly decided by the federal republic of yugoslavia , an initial emergency humanitarian aid amounting to eur 200 million of them . if you like spontaneously and openly say to my mind , i would ask how sensitive this issue - the composition of the commission and the voting procedures - may be , the success or failure of nice will not be measured . it was also that the leaders of the charter of fundamental rights have been accepted , but i must also remember , mr president-in-office , why was this agreement possible ? we must not by the spirit of nice buzz ruin and therefore it is in the remaining 50 days of primary importance that the negotiations on a political level to combat . in this respect , i would also like to honourable members of the european people 's party - and i would ask mr poettering that he is listening to me , because , for which we in parliament argue that we must also stand out there . after all , what we are on the results of the heads of state and government in biarritz on the most complex issues of reform of the knowledge that the charter will probably be the greatest trophy in nice . the council really would meet the expectations of european citizens if it is a wide-ranging consultation of the peoples of the national parliaments , held in order to reach a charter which actually correspond to the needs . therefore , any invitation to return to the sources of our union , have the courage to by mr giscard d ' estaing and mr schmidt than they had 1976 1979 and on the election of the european parliament in election by universal suffrage decided , and for us to decide that we finally 2009 a president of the european union , the commission to do . in this respect , i would particularly like to respond to what mr poettering , on the discrepancies between large and small countries has said . i would like very briefly to refer to the questions of foreign trade policy , because this is an extremely serious . that is certainly something valuable , which is all the members of the european council has been highlighted . a second very positive aspect is the adoption of the charter in their entirety . moreover , it seems to me that on this fundamental question for the future of the european union and for their decision-making processes in biarritz assets has brought . i hope that we will succeed in this respect , to convince progress , and in nice we impose . i should like to make two specific examples : the right to work on is right to work , and have become a number of accidents in the social chapter of the council of europe 's rights are not included in the charter . seen from the discussions which show the throughout europe , including biarritz , have been led to the larger member states , the smaller partially to reform the european union to push the direction taken by the larger member states and their wishes responds . the discontent on both sides , the proof of the negotiators , that you are at a reasonable compromise towards . the leadership of europe has no clear vision formulated . a commission , the criteria of the representation of the individual member states is structured , is lacking vision . in such a centralised union have the small countries less influence as the small states zweikammernsystem in the united states . after the summit , sharm-el-sheik where all concerned to find a solution but tried to put a stop to the violence and dialogue between barak and president arafat back on track to set up , we have seen how difficult that is , although it would have had very briefly , as if the violence to her . bad whistle-blowers , mr barón crespo , it appears that compel things about italy and to express my party , which are untrue . it is an important step forward in the european energy taxation , which so far been blocked by the unanimity rule . we should not be allowed to do that , in the small states fear is being created , one could go on direktoratslösungen . i believe that the convention has done excellent work , and also , i am proud that i have drawn from this body . in the second factor is the question , which specific intervals in relation to the principle of large and small countries have completely equal rotating system should be applied . the extension of qualified majority voting , together with the codecision procedure on important cases , the maintenance of article 250 in its present form , the place and the commission 's role in the strengthened cooperation , not only for the first pillar - these are some points by which we cannot assess whether immediately after a success or failure of a mistake . mr president , i would first of all , mr jacques delors , altiero spinelli and thank fernand herman vaclav havel and everyone 's reach carlo ciampi , joschka fischer , up to jacques chirac , by michel barnier up to pierre moscovici , by chris patten at florence and costa simitis , without taking into account the large number of meps who , since 1999 again for a motion for a european constitution gave . we should not criticise the commercial europe too , as you say - a socialist , because it has created more prosperity for all . we should at least agree on this objective , and here we are doing this , we should also like to say that it is to achieve . i have noted with satisfaction that the proposals presented recently at the intergovernmental conference is actually totally or partially , i agree with the views expressed . mr president , commissioner , the rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you had hoped that a debate this morning on the questions takes place , whereby your house it considers necessary which , in april this year 's opinion on the igc wishes to add . it therefore seems to me , despite the respect of the current institutional framework to be difficult , i would like to be quite frank - more than to make a parliamentary opinion on the introduction of such cooperation . as you know , this is one that we are certain political decisions which are far greater extent than the three requirements which i have just outlined . i myself have also stressed that the method used for the charter to be a possibility erwägende either . however , i have understood that , in addition to the linguistic matter behind your question conceals a further concern . for that reason too , i would like to thank the form and content of your initiative . the introduction of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new institutions , in addition to existing institutions of the union 's lead . it is time to take to revise the treaties . this consensus violation of the european council of europe with its refusal to the european charter of fundamental rights into the treaty to include it legally binding and to make the citizens of their rights are violated , access to the european court access . otherwise , i think , will be a europe of citizens do not have to be . paragraph 8 : the constitution should - and i quote - ' the so-called ' laissées ouvertes rules . what is going to have changed since then , is still not been able to explain to me . secondly , we are talking about an inadequate tasks to the questions which leaves aside for the future of the union and the interests of citizens are of particular importance . mr president-in-office of the transmission of sihen according to the russian orthodox church , on the eve of bolschewistischen revolution - an event which for the whole world is disastrous effects should - in lengthy discussions on the construction of roben fastenzeit . therefore , closer cooperation between all the guarantees which the rapporteur has mentioned : it must be open to all the spirit of the treaties are respected , and should not run counter to the acquis . one thing i would like to point out , however , it does not seem appropriate to establish a demand - or on the way to go , in all member states a compulsory referendum , precisely in order to adopt the proposed amendments . we have a truly comprehensive debate on the two issues , which has admittedly diverse totalitarian are , however , there is one point . we are prepared to take to ensure that it during the meeting in november and the adoption of a vote that has thus far during the french presidency will take place . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) what is a possibility of introducing the part-time ' as a threat to the other than in many countries have already far too high retirement age ? as you know , as well as the marmalade eat pensioners like children . i have the pensioners who me about the pensioners ' party in the european parliament from have asked , whether you would like to genetically modified drink wine . in addition , in exceptional cases standardvermehrungsgut can be marketed , if not , the need to be covered by other categories . that is why i would ask you , mr president , the differences in labour costs are not , therefore , a restriction of free competition in the european union constitutes ? only could therefore be voting against this resolution , which i do indeed . despite the increased liberalisation in the european union , state aid is still a constructive role in achieving a social and economic progress to be . for the environment , the safeguarding of public service and to guarantee equal income for people living in the weak regions this aid can be indispensable . we are doing at the risk that the eu 's attention to the consolidation of their control over the significant state aid , the less extensive aid under the pretext of target will make up for competition between small and medium-sized enterprises to look like . section vi - economic and social committee if one looks at the fälligkeitspläne the implementation of the budget heading 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , you realise that there is an average only 8 % of all by means of payment requirements are met . three years ago , we have started with our employment strategy , by small and medium-sized enterprises chancenkapital helped to get . the european parliament wants to do this in two ways . only then will the european institutions also fulfil its mandate . i should like to take this opportunity to express the vice-president responsible for budgetary matters , to thank mr gerhard schmid , for their constructive cooperation . we hope that this committee will give its capacity for work , but we cannot allow that at least to the european parliament 's demands as part of the budgetary authority will be heard . this means that the year 2001 provides recent total annual budget , and that is also the background for the assessment of the commission 's proposal and of the proposal which we are presenting to parliament . we also want a review of the administrative expenditure . since 1985 - please note that since the committee on budgets - 85 attempt by parliament to ensure that the procedure in the financial impact of the european parliament 's resolutions adopted by the house to take into account . i shall conclude , mr president , by the other institutions , thank you for the care of the common declaration to be given their procedures . today they have to decide on a budget of the first reading , by the council has been amended . as for the structural measures in the issue of the budget provided for in comparison with the 2000 budget has remained virtually identical . the council 's attitude towards a revision of the financial perspective is strictly factual . if one looks at these three different figures , you can see that there are still considerable differences , as well as a purely quantitative terms , of course , also in terms of content . i should like to point out that the comitology procedure , after a long debate last year , a new decision on it with the council was , and i have little hope that they can reopen this debate . at the berlin financial perspective for the period up until 2006 were in favour of the meda programme was 8.1 billion euros earmarked . i would therefore urge the council and the committee on budgets here in parliament , in its foreign policy considerations also to think about foreign policy and not just roads . the second concerns the aid to victims of human rights violations , the treatment of a special institutions need . we should look at the time being , a compromise solution to assess the work of the important emac-ausschusses support , we can still rules . otherwise , we consider the position of our committee open . we only need the television and call on the problems in the middle east , to see every day to recreate reminded us of this . i therefore hope that we in the vote tomorrow , to the necessary majority for the monitoring centre in dublin come ! mr president , allow me , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development , firstly a few comments on rural development . we have to authorise the indikativer appropriations amounting to eur 2 million for an information campaign on the cfp requested . the commission needs to be strong arguments to negotiate a reasonable agreement with morocco , and achieve the work of the council and the governments concerned , it is that these negotiations of political impetus to make . we look at the 2001 budget today , so are the pictures of the serbian population before our eyes . overall we wish to have that these amendments are adopted . an important opportunity for the citizens is open to make its voice heard , is to complain to the ombudsman or petitions to parliament in order . first of all , the parliamentary budget . a great surprise of many members of my delegation we adopted unanimously in early september kernstrategie . the 400 amendments , which some of my colleagues have been tabled , which were so many of us in the committee on budgets rather surprising . it is difficult to see how the new posts can solve the problem , as long as both in the commission and the council and complicated old-fashioned methods of management of the many programmes are implemented . this parliament has in recent years has repeatedly shown that it is on the basis of its work is articulated austerity . it is not acceptable for people over the years very very loose on commitments and it is always accept , however , when it comes to pay , says that we are going too far , we must now be getting zurückschneiden ! if we are only a few million on the lines - are much more could not be - then we find the speckseite out , and if people are in fact , we need to have gone . the 2001 budget , as was the last year 's budget is hardly in conflicts , due to pressure from the consolidation and austerity , as it within the interinstitutional agreement has been decided to finance the enlargement will be put to the other hand , the stability pact acute finance for the balkans . requirements for the performance of better also include more staff . the adoption of this amendment in its original version was the starting point for a change in the situation may be , but it is on the committee on budgets rejected by a majority . unfortunately , it is for a few examples : the preferential treatment of associations with federalist ambition or by numerous ngos have very dubious methods and views on the financing of european political parties to the date for the prince programme vergeudeten amounts to the citizens of the merits of the euro are to be convinced , although this is a loss to the people of our danish colleagues up to the leaders of the european central bank largely share . finally , mr heaton-harris , with its amendments rightly pointed to the one-sidedness of many european programmes in which the citizens with a propagandastory about european integration will be vulnerable , notably at the expense of the citizens themselves . in addition our administrative systems must be modernised . we must also set an example . a good example for the meda programme for the latter is that of the mediterranean basin , a geographical area of great strategic importance . if some people about necessary cuts or the tracing of funds in category 4 , talking about a number of priorities to be able to finance , then we do not forget that parliament has set priorities . we have done this in the committee vote , quite clearly . this figure is needed , therefore , to clarify . thank you , mr wynn . it simply means the absence of genuine elements of flexibility to move ahead with a specific policy , while some that could not or wish for member states , what matters is that also applies to the applicant countries . in my opinion , austria has no reason to complain about the result , quite the opposite . this would allow the recommendations of the regional organisations and the experience of the neighbouring countries will certainly make a useful contribution . in 1984 had access 0.2 % of the landowners in colombia 32 % of land . it is not up to the council , or those this aspect of this extremely sensitive issue and painful to comment on . but nor can we make a start the debate on these issues , as i said , are extremely complicated . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : i shall therefore take care not to have a definitive answer on this difficult issue to be there . we only have the feeling , and your reply to some extent this seems to confirm that the presidency , in discussing this issue to a lack of consistency leaves . therefore , the emergence from this tax , of course , not to be zero . i forgive you also , however , we must apply the rules of procedure . the reason why it is on the right side has been so quiet , is the fact that we have already answered these questions , and we believe that we should not discuss the same things here several times and we are wasting valuable time . furthermore , as a temporary solution until the adoption of this text for the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in june 2000 a decision on specified risk material out with regard to these diseases was adopted in order to prevent any further spread of disease and the highest possible health protection for consumers to be guaranteed . i have no information on the other than those which i have just outlined to you . we are monitoring the work of the council and the commission and the erika i and are well informed about it , but on this subject , the meeresstraße in both countries and also throughout the european union is known as an extremely difficult meeresstraße by large ships in transit through just a few hours of saving is a risk that the old rostkähne somewhere , due to run a disaster and cause , i would have had and , above all the inhabitants of corsica and sardinia wondering whether it is possible , if you intend to transit through the streets of bonifacio for those big container ships , this is purely and simply to ban ? therefore we should in fact the commission 's proposals for a revision of the personnel policy support . in the budget will be for serbia and kosovo for the new money is needed . in conclusion , i should like to express the hope that we in the budget to eur 50 million can find , in order to finance the peace agreement israel-plo . this is why we in the european parliament propose new measures that are not so much to the search for additional finance - of which we already know that , given the current situation , cannot be found , but to define the new interinstitutional commitments which aims to improve the quality of expenditure and to achieve the fact that not one euro being wasted . remember that , in the european policies as in any other area the moderate options may no longer constitute the majority . it is rather verdunkelung because of the information , and today 's attitude shown with regard to the activity-based budgeting very disappointing . it also leads to the division of actions to be expected to the budget as a political instrument to realize where the distribution of expenditure reflects clear political priorities . we should take this opportunity to try to find a solution for several years was in order to ensure that this debate on the need for the reconstruction of the balkans next year and not info-point again lead to . who is working on developing a sustainable agriculture will be interested to know that the reform of the recent hauptvorstoß agreed in berlin , is a continuous transition from price support to direct income support for products to farmers to take place . but with a budget is always more than a sober series . furthermore , it is immoral that expenditure on the agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the excluded , in order to cut resources for the financing of the european union 's commitments in kosovo and yugoslavia safeguarded . quite simply : in serbia , the people in this winter neither freeze still go hungry . furthermore , i would like to express my concern that the various youth in the socrates programme have been incorporated . for the benefit of the council must of course also be made clear that the council also bears responsibility for its failure to phase out of some außenprogramme . we now need a stable solution for this aid and in more intensely to make the necessary planning for the whole of the western balkans . i believe that most people would be prepared to accept such a figure on condition to accept the fact that the money is used properly . i share the views and concerns of the rapporteur , mrs rühle , for this afternoon in connection with the chapters research and social measures specified . two weeks ago took place at the joint parliamentary assembly of the acp countries . at the same time , we want that , in the funds for research and information budget to be used to ensure that the current produktionsalternativen for tobacco growers to conduct research . i would like to stress that the european union , which relates to northern ireland and the most direct influence on the most positive had , one might imagine . in accordance with this model will respect the rules of procedure by means of an independent authority and in the last instance through the courts is guaranteed . therefore , we will first a codecision procedure at first reading , and can complete this at a very complex and technical difficulties with many flawed text in an area where the with regard to the protection of privacy is particularly sensitive . it is as very positive that for their tasks were not brought together . for example , is well known that the schengen system over 10 million data on almost 1.5 million people are being stored on europol , whose powers continues to be extended to the information from the national police authorities of the 15 member states which centrally , but only under the control of a government which neither the competence nor the resources available to really another purpose . that said , i would like the commissioner 's presence to underline that i feel there is not only for the protection of citizens in the new technologies should ensure , but also to use these technologies in the interests of better enabling citizens to have an appropriate and with the european institutions to communicate . in amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 and 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 , 60 64 by the council 's text adopted in the areas in which the commission can accept . it goes without saying that its opinions on the legislative proposals on the protection of personal data will be vital in this respect , it will be a major contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions to do . so , does the treaty for the outermost regions a difficult economic and social situation , which are of particular disadvantages addition which by their permanent situation and their interaction with the development of these regions considerably prejudice . in this way , the strategy on a high level of employment in the promotion of economic and social progress help . i therefore congratulate mrs sudre , we look forward to hearing the regulatory development of the commission 's proposals , so that the special features in article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam will soon be able to be taken into consideration . for many europeans are some extremely remote regions only a tourist destination a map . our unemployment rates are among the highest levels of the union . i am pleased to see that the committee , which i have tabled amendments adopted with a large majority . i think it is particularly important that the outermost regions in the pan-european transport , energy and telecommunications networks are included . the unanimous approval of our colleague mrs sudre margie report presented by the members of the committee on regional policy is indicative of the loyalty of the european parliament for its most important duties . we are not talking here about all the conditions and believe that it is to achieve this , indeed idyllischen satisfactory situation - if we want to call it - no more time will be necessary to further measures for dealing with these three areas , especially the outermost regions which we are discussing today , to take . this text will enable us - not in a position to do , however , it will enable us to strengthen our action - and i think this is necessary , to extend and improve . in the preparation of the necessary proposals , of course , the commission is working with the member states and regions together . the difficulties of these regions are - as we know , a lasting effect , and i therefore believe that , according to their actual development permanently on support from the regional policy and are dependent on specific measures . during the year 2001 could once again , this meeting will be carried out , if we can implement the programme has been presented in march , the progress made . the presidency has been decided that this matter has been completed , and i accept this without any reservations . i think that parliament is best for the current rules , because there are often - as another speaker already said - is not the equipment which does not work , but of individual members who have forgotten to vote for a vote might subsequently correct , then we would never have come to an end . i am actually osce , which i . after all , commissioner , it is , in addition , the authority is essential that the relevant services in the commission 's cooperation and consultation with member states , a system more and more effective controls in the whole food chain and build that the network of lebensmittellabors within the european union extended and in coordination with the commission 's action . since it in the scientific research to avoid overlapping must come up with national research institutions , and the eu-forschungszentren worked out . today we are discussing a white paper , and let us be motherly should be to establish some key principles . these proceedings have now been changed and improved , moreover , we have in the united kingdom an agency for legensmittelstandards established . finally , i should like to say that we also support some of the new amendments , such as amendments nos 11 to 7 to 13 and 14 call for amendment no 9 , we have a free vote . against this background , i should like to say the following : firstly , the food safety can only be guaranteed if strict official controls and carrying out these checks are to be just as effectively as the weakest link in the chain . we are debating a subject , which will quite clearly proves how superficial and substance our debate on the political unification of europe . therefore we entrust the european food safety authority alone with scientific testing in cooperation with our national authorities . it is important . the majority of food-borne disease , of which europe today is concerned , there have been first on the american continent . however , the conditions for referring cases of the authority is intended to be efficient and rapid action is guaranteed . we should also point out , as previous speakers have done , and especially mrs gebhardt and mr whitehead , that the white paper is very much more than just a new regulatory framework of the union . mr president , i am delighted that both today and gratitude to the commission , who work for a better food safety has initiated , as mr bowis and extended to all the committee on the environment . i regard as particularly important amendment no 17 , in which the cooperation of the consumer organizations calling for . another point is the complexity of the legislation on the labelling of foodstuffs both for the city as regards retail through which the consumer on the traceability of products and their ingredients finally properly informed and the identification of possible risks and crises responsibilities to be allowed . i think that new legislation is not the right response , if the existing provisions are not respected . the vote in the committee on the environment , we have managed to restore some balance , by extending the scope of nutrition and some important references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises to the maintenance of different eating habits have accepted . mr president , i would like the other colleagues , the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very logical and constructive approach to this problem congratulations . mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety itself has no legal force to jeopardise the dual meaning to which he is certainly not to play in the slightest . the rapporteur and also very many members of our committee , including myself , have put the emphasis on the food authority , which really is somewhat regrettable . with the independence and integrity of the authority is the position of european consumers are best served . in the course of this process , i have often thought that we in the selection process by the rapporteur have had a happy hand . mr president , i would also like to congratulate my colleague mr bowis for his laudable attempt to argue all opinions in his report to be included , and would also thank him particularly for having to comment on the broader concept of food has accepted . finally , the policy must not shirk its responsibility . the most important task is , however , that this body , the respect of other scientific committees which public confidence and the willingness of the governments in the member states earn , on its decisions to be accepted . that is how i see a food authority for the future . we have the world health organisation in geneva . i also verschweige that i am not in the publication of the white paper have spoken against the authority . it is therefore a need to ensure that the european union has the highest levels of safety , but it is within this unanimous agreement on stoßenden approach to the economic consequences for manufacturers be analysed . the role of the authority will then : an independent scientific advice , research and independent controls and inspections and an early warning system , but also certainly coordination to restoring confidence . i would like to take this opportunity to provide a solution to the speakers cautious with regard to the promotion of local products and traditional specialities have demanded that assurance that this issue the hygiene is taken into account . it will facilitate the commission to present a balanced proposal relating to the position of parliament and the number of players in the area of food safety be taken into account as far as possible . this is not the first time parliament deals with the subject of anti-personnel mines , but this problem was rather among the deciding factor in political terms for the signing of the ottawa convention . i repeat my rejection of amendments nos 10 , 19 , expressed in the coherence of the budget , and amendment no 29 to request a split vote on the various parts of the wording of the whole text , in my opinion on certain misinterpretation is suffering , to improve . and this is where the first question , the countries which have not signed by the european union must , above all , the commission to sign the ottawa convention to be asked . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know the consequences of anti-personnel mines , although in individual cases are often have great military reasons . parliament has made this subject in 1996 on the agenda at first been the case for a horizontal line and a proper legal basis has called for a common platform for the broad range of our actions in this important area of employment . but i do not deny that the thoroughness of the european union to other countries by the fact that something is limited , in some member states there are problems with the signing and ratification of the convention there . the effectiveness of mine action is greatest , if this individually on the particular circumstances of each type of situation . parliament knows that there are already too many of them . as you know , we intend to do with our proposals on reform of external aid from the budget review of individual projects and deny us to discuss with the member states should concentrate instead on general strategies and programmes . many ngos have been established , which deals with this problem still . nonetheless , we must first four years after the united nations conference on the issue of landmines in geneva and over a year after the introduction of the ottawa convention to say how many countries , and thousands of people , mainly in the world 's poorest regions is still in a frightening degree of risk of anti-personnel landmines and fire and munitions which are not explode , are victims . the commission must improve the quality of their programmes and speed up their implementation . if these amendments is to carefully examine it , but i think that you will see that some of you mentioned them campaigns , transparency and access to the appropriations and the ngos concerned with issues which are indeed right to function properly , but whose effectiveness could be improved . mrs bonino and mr patten have also agree with your view that the council and parliament 's administration should be exempt from commissioner patten . i have listened very carefully on this point , because it appears that it takes the view that we must be more involved . mr president , our group has made a commitment for many years for the whole range of requirements and action in this area is needed - by produktionsstopp about the destruction of minenbestände , the attitude of the market , the clearing of mines through to the rehabilitation of victims and to promote public awareness . it is then the task of the member states , this process at international level to support . the mines are of course , a major obstacle to the reconstruction in these countries , and also for the return of refugees is essential . under the current rate of dismantling if we were here - as was said earlier - far more than 100 years in order to make up the earth from the anti-personnel mines . the third area i see some concrete measures , which we propose a review and should follow . every child that we in bosnia , africa and elsewhere in the terrible minentod or injury to maintain the effort by all of us is worth . it must indeed be exerted pressure on the other countries which have not signed , such as finland , or have not yet ratified , such as greece . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , look at it again finland ! finally , let us hope that in the context of the future role of the common european military force professionals be trained , above all the people who , something that is because the mines are disappearing . and you stress that neither on the list of countries most affected are , above all developing countries . the demands of the european parliament could hardly ever more clearly contrary to the lisbon objectives are . the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , like parliament to be amended by the commission 's proposal to add that , in particular by means of various kinds of areas that are appropriate legislation and the establishment of certain rights at european level . this means that the luxembourg approach , which applies to employment policy , on the social protection and social exclusion be extended . the major powers germany , france , great britain and to some extent in italy , are all agreed that they are small eastern and southern european countries to join the european union wants to retain their bow to . we consider it wrong , however , for legal reasons , which are already in relation to take this kind of 6 teu , because it in the convention , under its structure - it could be formally adopted and therefore no legislative holds . the incorporation of the new texts in the treaties could lead to legal uncertainty . moreover , the rapporteur for the voice of power in brussels modern new theory of the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union , that is the result of the european parliament represent the people and countries represented by the council . the swedish and danish social democrats have today against the report by the constitutionalisation of the treaties on oliver duhamel voted . to this end , the european union must develop towards a constitution , which includes the charter of fundamental rights . a constitution would only make sense if it for the democratic framework for a genuine european federation , form a united states of europe , which would form . he said that he is in line with a large majority of politicians to the fact that we have reached our relations with other countries prefer an international treaty regulated by asking what . . i welcome the report by mr duhamel , interesting and constructive contribution to the concept of constitutionalising the treaties . we believe that a reorganization and simplification of the treaties that the public would facilitate the competence of the eu - and their borders - and the procedures to perform this clear responsibility to see . up until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 was an intergovernmental europe supersyndikat . the edd group is voting against the report by mr gil-robles gil-delgado on closer cooperation . it is indeed a monolithic vision of the union too , in which all forms of cooperation ' within a single institutional framework in place and to the objective of a super-state should be focused . therefore , a general slowdown must be prevented by certain member states through the development of closer cooperation is to proceed more quickly . the structures of the internal market to function since the early 1990s , a very successful . - ( nl ) the cooperation at european level can be useful for resolving cross-border problems . these regions could serve as an excellent versuchsstation for sustainable development opportunities . the european judges and technocrats who wanted to develop the ' special fr de ' mer rid of the overseas territories with our citizens in the resources provided , and especially our craftsmen safeguards . france has , however , in the indian ocean and municipalities in the caribbean . their independence is a condition sine qua non for its credibility . hence our vote is to clarify the role and the composition of the planned european authority , but it also contributed to our demands their funding and specify its independence . secondly , the european agency must be completely independent . we need the kind of agricultural and agroindustriellen practices , the problem of nahrungsgüterimporte , the composition of the ingredients of feeds the ceilings for dioxin , and for residues of additives in food and food safety and others take priority . we have voted in favour of amendment no 15 , because this is the defence of europe 's cultural heritage in the area of production in the field of great concern . we will remain virtually no expenditure category in a room for manoeuvre . since we would now be 50 % in the budget line and 50 % in reserve in place . the question is , as this could be combined with each other . report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets on draft general budget of the european union on the budget 2001 , section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) madam president , my name appears under several amendments to this report . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) the real surprise this budget is in the external policies , where selfishness and miserliness prevail . also , by using the flexibility instrument resources can be released . . ( el ) i voted against the haug report and for the proposal of my group , the general budget 2001 voted to reject . we are thinking in particular , to the new pilot project in this framework , measures to combat paedophilia are financed . not least , this demonstrates the low level of commitment to this project , even below the politically active citizens . in this way will fall 20 to 30 % of the markets in the private sector to competition . since this is not guaranteed , with scanty report , i voted against the report . if the unacceptably low thresholds which sea-life national aid , in connection with the proposed reduction of rücknahmemengen at 5 % in the citrus at 8.5 % of apples and pears and to 10 % for the rest , fruit and sheepmeat , it is clear that a huge quantities processed fruit and vegetable products can no longer be sold on the prices as a whole , are the fruit and vegetables and in the fields of processing verrotten and to enable farmers to force will see the planting of grubbing up . i have voted in favour of this report because it to the expectations of portuguese fruit and vegetable sector organisations cows which represents a radical change in the com in fruit and vegetables , since you have asked for the view that these are the national interests profoundly damaging . mr johan van hecke 's report ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) the root of the is that everything , even the quality of the environment and the climate , the capitalist exploitation of productive resources and the large being sacrificed . the starting point in kyoto was that the rich countries keep strictly to your own air , with a limited extent , however , have the opportunity for their help in some countries have been added to their own ergebnisliste emissions to be achieved . . ( fr ) in combating the greenhouse effect is a great challenge for the industrialised countries and a duty towards the people in particular the developing world , the consequences of climate change already pay with their lives . the art of life , is to deal appropriately with these risks and uncertainties . even the endocrine disrupters - effective efforts which suspected substances to be precise - are exploring , possibly by means of a legal framework , and continue to increase . the consumers and smes contributes to the introduction of euro fait internal market does not sufficiently profitable . the banks have until now , namely by the member states to cross-border payments of eur 12 500 to allocate zahlungsbilanzstatistischen its central bank to say . of course , apply to them the same strict requirements in terms of security and money laundering . we know , even in cases of cross-border credit transfers are puzzled after the euro has increased , not only a small amount . the european central bank could help , one with the implementation of the single european datenformats in payment transactions and by supporting the implementation of a single european bic within the international iban-systems . the fact that the consumer , accept the euro is of crucial importance . madam president , the report by mrs peijs on the retail within the internal market , the old demands of the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border payments in the union back . the peijs report shows this recital d of the resolution itself note , where it says that the high charges for cross-border consumer confidence in the ' euro ' appreciation . there is still much to do so , but the ways and means of politicians , that we can do , in this area are lower than in our scope for the question of payment in the single market . the formulas will continue to be perceived as an area of the citizens do not understand that in this area in which exchange rate will be removed and the electronic payment with increasingly internet-banking will , of course , a transfer from munich to salzburg considerably more expensive than a transfer from munich to kiel . in order to achieve this objective and they are still many years we have to work . on that occasion , we will also have a shorter period the handling of cross-border credit transfers , as the report by mrs peijs , has pressed for time . the debate is closed . the right policy there is no doubt that it is a pragmatic and kmu-nahen approach to give priority to which the small business at the heart of the instrument of power and not a proposal which , under the pretext that they want to avoid everywhere , which would only serve to produce good statistics , specifically in no way since then . but , more specifically , i have three comments to this programme . it is worth pointing out that the first community action programme in this area has been adopted in 1983 , i.e. 17 years ago . i am also has always been in favour of this on the basis of an efficient and pragmatic policy should be . would you as a genuine outposts of business and innovation , particularly in the forefront of the existing in these areas are exposed to risks directly . finally , we also need the results of the brussels ' science and governance ' , it last week in brussels under the auspices of the institute for technology foresite in seville which was held and the follow-up to this epstein consideration , because there are many connections to our debate today . the rapporteur lists a number of points on which to the environment for companies in europe to improve . this is excellent news for europe , because technically correct , competent and quickly can be helped . mr president , i would like to thanks for the excellent work of mrs montfort endorse . it is important to measure well , to avoid a situation in which people are constantly at the expense of others fail . this is unfair , which is why i support this report ! this is also the guiding principle of the charter for small enterprises . the programme will be designed so that information on the networks will be made available . the main objective of this plan is clearly the control of immigration in the countries of the european union and the readmission of illegal in europe who live in their country . in particular , i would point out that measures to improve internal security , to strengthen its dialogue between europeans and local authorities in albania and , as far as the commission and the council is concerned , in cooperation with the albanian , the italian and the greek authorities targeted actions are required . the inadequate social , economic and political conditions in combination with poor or lack of legal certainty and organised crime , lead to massive today . mr president , in contrast to mrs pack , i believe that the more groups are dealing with albania , the better , it is . we obviously cannot immediately find a solution to the whole issue , but the medium term , we need a world where appropriate , security and justice in future to achieve . in addition , there is a gap between the donors - we , the european union , and the united states - the financial resources to contract out projects and differentiation on one hand and the local population other . so let us use the bilateral agreements , which is legally and clearly the activities of the place of residence , who pay , working hours , working conditions and the insurance prescribe conditions to enable the immigrants to force the economies of countries which are in progress and instead of nationalist aspirations in a spirit of the cold war to stir up the friendship and promotes cooperation between peoples . people will be sent back to some extent , which could well have integrated . we must not focus on how to reduce the prospect of refugees , but how is the situation in the region can be improved so that the people to stay at home . mr president , i also believe that , as mr dimitrakopoulos quite rightly pointed out , the central issue in terms of economic , social and the internal security problems affecting albania continues to rebuild the country which is the rule of law , to guarantee the safety of citizens and the restoration of the reputation of the institutions and local administrations to support . i am as mr liese , think that we have a sharing in the refugee and asylum policy is needed . the action plan for albania and the neighbouring regions has been adopted in june this year , since this is , therefore , to the sixth framework programme . there is sometimes fremdheit frustration , but also in relation to the european right , and we ourselves , but also the other institutions to call for the detailed work here mühsal should not be afraid of detailed work and make the necessary time and to provide the necessary staff . we want this report certainly send out a signal to the citizens that we are complaining about the lack of quality of legislation , and the complaints about überregionalisierung centralism and seriously . it goes without saying that this subject in itself extremely important , even though the limited number of participants in the forthcoming debate on this now , this house at first sight , actually dagegenspricht . in addition , the report would inevitably raises the question of subsidiarity , which , in this chamber this evening is somewhat controversial . it would be of interest to you in the light of this list the legal situation , in order to be simpler , more transparent , efficient and to formulate a more focused and unnecessary legislation to delete paragraph 6 of this report , as proposed . after a very detailed examination of the report 's conclusion , i am satisfied that it is also no political principle : it is a theological dispute . this means that the recognition of the subsidiarity principle until the smallest local authorities , local authorities , the intermediary organisations , the social classes , families and their citizens the only ones who really want the sovereignty of the legislative and administrative pressure , which must be guaranteed . let me give you a summary , therefore . i shall now give the floor to the commissioner . we are dealing here with an area that we should regulate the detail of guaranteed everywhere , implementation , or should we consider whether a voluntary agreement , provided that they can be implemented and monitored , is an alternative ? - i have voted for the report , although i agree with amendments was not adopted , because it deals with the excessive wechsel- and transfer costs in the area concerned . if the fifteen months in eleven member states will also be the same notes and coins will have to be placed on the acquisition of this single currency outside their residence more expensive . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must begin to lament the fact that the fisheries commissioner responsible , mr fischler , cannot be here today . it must be an agreement that the cooperation and the moroccan fisheries sector provides the impetus , but also of the european fleet fishing interests into consideration . therefore , we are on the construction of a responsible partnership agreement with morocco , its position in a meeting will tell you that , as you have said , on 30 october , therefore , be held in brussels on monday . a few weeks ago i was even in the south of the spanish algeciras . that is near of morocco . over time , it has been proved that it is not only is difficult , but will actually be impossible to underline this . can the european union , through the fisheries agreements with third countries and fishing activities carried out fishing rights prices . in a swedish fischereifachzeitschrift was to read , as one of its fishing vessels in el aaiún brought ashore , this has been described as a moroccan ports . this is to be called into question . it concerns all our fisheries agreement with morocco and not just about this , since the agreement with mauritania , soon to do with guinea is being reviewed in achieving this . eleven months , you need to have reached the stage of the meeting on 30.10. to achieve this , and so we are also aware of the latest measures taken by commissioner fischler to appreciate that on 26 september his mission to morocco and at the highest level , even with the king of discussion . but i would like to see a few very brief messages to convey to the commission today by commissioner busquin , worthy of being represented . my question to the commission is : if no agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is reached on the commission 's signalisierten conditions , an agreement is concluded for the promotion of moroccan production , will the commission will have to compensate for the structural measures up to be taken of the regions affected will develop ? as we had anticipated , were the negotiations with the moroccan authorities extremely difficult one . if this is an undesirable outcome of the failures of the negotiations , the union has finally the political and moral duty to fishermen and shipowners with sufficient funding to help them to ensure their livelihoods . the overcapacity of the fishing industry of the eu must be reduced . we therefore need quickly close economic and political relations with morocco , while enforcement of our european fishing interests . that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership for mutually beneficial to both the full support of the fisheries sector in morocco , the fleet , aquaculture , the industrial processing and research and on the granting of fishing opportunities for european fishermen context . the rights of language lecturers ' this is not only in the german language is a clear difference . in july 1999 , the commission has this treaty infringement proceedings before the court . if it is not , therefore , of what is desired in harmonising systems must , therefore , as things currently stand , the principle of subsidiarity does not mean that what is probably a demand for a privilege to be dismissed as discrimination . admittedly , the previous commission under president santer was perhaps not the best , that is why it was also . members of the committee on legal affairs and the whole union and for all parties are gathered here to indicate that there is no sense to have the right to speak and to enter rechtschartas if you do not necessarily in such cases in which human rights are being refused to take effective measures to ensure that they recognised and enforced and that is in this case , the problem . that is in a modern europe really not acceptable . of course , the education sector under the subsidiarity principle , but under the treaties are the free movement of workers and banning discrimination to all our support , although we - and i very much , because i come from a federal state - the principle of subsidiarity as requirements for cooperation in the european union and commit ourselves to ensure that the earliest possible date kompetenzaufteilungen between levels in europe on the principle of subsidiarity in action . in this respect can no longer be the case of discrimination . mr president , would you , from an excellent familiar with the surgery concepts in italian , french and german or by a surgeons operate them ? ( the sitting was closed at 10.56 p.m. ) we are talking about you our deepest sympathy from . i give the floor to mr ceyhun ; he is speaking as rapporteur , and also on behalf of the socialist group . with regard to the statements by the council and the commission for the third asiaeurope tells us that the council , which is currently no statement he wishes . it is therefore a matter which , under the treaties and according to the euratom treaty is the responsibility of the commission ; it affects many citizens or can affect many citizens , not only spaniards because in this area and operational within their jurisdiction for which there are not even a plan , hundreds of thousands of european citizens of the 15 member states to live apart from the many who come from outside , because this is after all , the costa del disconcerting . madam president , i am sorry , but very interesting , from the spanish minister , mr mayor oreja to hear that discussions with basque nationalists are meaningless , even if a future cease-fire herausspränge here . i would question whether , for this week , a commission statement on the british government 's decision is planned to introduce a discriminatory tax for nichtbritische road ? as the so-called european parties , including the european liberal , increasingly tend to racist and xenophobic , authoritarian like-minded allied forces too , that is not just a serious risk to italy , but it also points to a problem that affects the whole of europe . however , the report contains some critical comments about the french proposal . these demands are the subject of amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . the initiative of the french presidency , we are debating today , the purpose of the above two general rechtshilfe-übereinkommen in criminal matters , in particular with regard to combating money laundering , to improve . i can only say this , if the idea of combating money laundering is being damaged , then this is not the fault of the council and parliament . on the results of their work , we can only congratulate you . the way to achieve this , of course , as mr marinho said - and i agree with this wholeheartedly - about the communitisation . all speakers agreed until now agree that , this is a very valuable initiative , and we agree with her . europol must be able to operate across frontiers . there are still too much in our modern europe and , before i approve a blind admiration , i should like to see the mutual recognition of fairer standards . i understand that it is very difficult , because we in the construction of a fragmentation of the instruments must be our starting-point . this is also a need to strengthen the european union as a location , and it is also a desire to citizens , which we have to take account of the citizens of the european union have a right to security . in the european union we need a firm the fight against money laundering and to realise that , in particular , the completion of the internal market and the liberalisation of services and capital markets for effective police and judicial cooperation between member states - as effectively as possible , if necessary . when an activity than finanzberater nothing justified to the adoption of the advocate as such , would not his profession . however , i am of course , aware that the question raised by several members of the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal professions the rejection of judicial cooperation in combating money laundering can explain why that is very sensitive . this applies in particular , for serious , and most serious cross-border crime . overall , the task so great and so important that they are not alone can be managed by the council . this is why we need to strengthen the rights of citizens , by creating a legal instrument particularities and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly in relation to questions to the interpretation and decisions . even though i fought for more cooperation and coordination , but i think that this project , a legal framework to be making a mistake , and we will vote against them . also there is a second point is of interest . that is why the full participation in this house is so good . as several members have raised a very sensitive issues , i would like to take this opportunity to you in all honesty , as mr coelho has just done - to say that we in this initiative , in particular , the first initiative and see what sort of political will of the council expressed by the police cooperation , as compared with the current backlog on judicial cooperation catch up . that is why it is also very important instrument in order to ensure that the judicial control of europol . the programme is fair to research in the areas of agriculture and fisheries , agri-industry was part of the fourth framework programme , which ran from 1994 to 1998 . given the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that some problems have been identified relating to the organisation of the programme . the court of auditors ' report on the programme is fair to which the langenhagen report , which has only been published in march this year , during the first time the auditing sektorschreiben in december 1998 and , in february 1999 , the commission were provided . on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to mention a few points . thank you for having made reference to the spirit in which the report was created ; it was the signs of dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission departments ; and you have made it clear how important this is to them . that shows that the commission has not been inactive and that it is their comments seriously . i now turn to the question raised by mrs morgan , that the amounts paid vacated by articulated . thank you , mr president , commissioner . during the december part-session the tribute should be carried out . it means , although there are some heads of state and government not to admit that it is my conviction that the opening of the parliament to do so often and so persistent requested constitutional process . i am extremely pleased that today i have the opportunity to share with you in detail on this draft the charter of fundamental rights of the european union there are to discuss before they are the final opinion of this house to adopt this text . personally , i do not doubt that this will provide the opportunity to do so . however , there were also some critical comments on the content of the charter . this is an important position , which i welcome . it was a great success for us as parliament - and this is the political groups zusammengestanden , that is a positive result - that we have established that the european parliament with 16 members in this rights was represented . this charter is , i think that a great success , and can , as a major european newspaper on 26 september 2000 , the hallmarks betitelte for europe programmes . for my group therefore considers it absolutely essential , in article 6 ( 2 ) of the treaty to include a reference to the charter . so , in fact , there are many who believe that europe should have the opportunity to get out of existence as a mere free trade and transformed the road of liberalism , in order to overcome the foundations of a europe of citizens to build . civil society is determined to mobilise and the european summit in december in nice to raise their voices and the charter to demand that the real guarantees for citizens of europe offers . this requires alongside the necessary signatures even more effective political obligations which every day , all the member states and all political forces must be implemented . let us therefore cry or pretend that we are happy to let us celebrate this great event , it is meaningless , nonetheless . the convention has done excellent work . both the rights of citizens ' rights , as also the social rights . this is the right to good administration which has been mentioned by mrs malmström , is one of the most significant progress is essential . i am not sure how much scope for mr blair puts his minions , in order to get this great project to the point . i certainly understand anything more . madam president , the last time you have from the either half full or half empty talk glass . but the cologne european council has supported by the body which has its role as stifter of extraordinary confusion , has played in achieving that everyone has forgotten that this is a matter of national parliaments , which is precisely this within the framework of a policy of small steps can be reduced . excessive grundrechtsschutz is just as harmful as inadequate ! when one hears the contributions of certain members , it becomes clear that this information is more necessary than ever . the important question which is now up to the cause of division , subject to the purpose of the charter . so we are once again disappointed and unhappy . of course we shall be voting for the charter , but with a feeling that this is the need for much enthusiasm and the commitment of the citizens of europe will be able , th
