we know very well that the current treaties are insufficient and that , in future , we will need to develop a better structure and different for the european union , a structure which also leaves no clear what are the competence of member states and which belong to the european union . happiest constitutional first , before the economic and social problems caused by rejoice at that , in spite of sustained growth , figment of years of effort by all our fellow citizens . messages of preoccupation the current situation unsustainable , especially for many hauliers self-employed and for the sector of agriculture , must improve without a doubt . in itself a good thing , but we must ensure that this system is not likely to be used as a weapon policy . reach agreement on asylum procedures now they are also clear rights to be respected . i agree with her signal from warning against the return to that some are tempted to the intergovernmental methods . many of us who want a federation of nation states . the rapporteurs have stressed the quality of the debate and also the need to go further . of course , i can only agree with them . the latter i say that , before i make a statement , we must learn , learn and gauging forces are available , given that the political discourse should be realistic and correspond to reality of the armed forces and the objectives that we all propose . always i would like to begins by this closer cooperation to give some examples of the new european talent . the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . voting in favour of adopting the draft regulation . the reports from the european court of auditors does not leave besides the fact they subestimaciones , from greece for portugal . consequently , we have not voted in favour of this report . according to their campaigners , these buses are not only cheaper and versátiles internationally , but also respectful of the environment because they use less fuel per passenger . it also calls for establishing reference values in order to disseminate best practice throughout the eu . a binding charter covering all possible and that spells out disenfranchisement whose imposition is absolutely vertreter could cause difficulties later . fire-fighter i would like to thank both for her magnificent work . however , we feel that this cannot be dealt with by now concluded in nice in less than three months , so that is why we cannot vote in favour of the charter to stay included in the treaty at the nice summit . already - ( de ) the group of the european csu welcomes the fact that the present draft charter of fundamental rights collected and ca recognisably fundamental rights which citizens will maintain vis-à-vis the bodies and institutions of the eu . reflects the liberal europe which is built . indeed , it would have liked to see this charter will be able to continue working on it , as propose many non-governmental organisations of various countries of the union . withdraw ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; therefore , like myself to propose next year , parliament is not present a general report , but reports by countries in order to stress that treat him a development differential treatment of negotiations . i think that on the basis of the work undertaken by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be able - at least i hope so - to give a precise assessment of the accession process . ; secondly , i have said , and i am quite happy to repeat it here , the french presidency will not shirk any of the difficulties that they are presented , which does not mean that we receive from the time and the necessary means to deal with each of them . this is perfectly legitimate , but it is necessary zanjarla correctly , and accurate . enlargement is a broad perspective that we should approach with vision and with great generosity . not everything outcome of the intergovernmental conference will be in accordance with the formidable exigencies of adaptation that enlargement entails . the second major change which we live and to which europe must be adapted to the enormous speed of economic development , which we directed against the global market and towards the global competition . outshines fourthly , what the previous emerges from the principle of being granted to countries which have been incorporated into the negotiations fair opportunity to join with those underway soon afterwards . in the sectors where necessary and long term to achieve the levels of the eu , must be borne in mind that , at the same são circumstances , the current members also disfrutaron of lengthy transitional periods . effecting massive investment in the protection of external borders and the fight conra crime are applied equally our standards and advantages for european cooperation . look again at trade flows which currently exist between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . i was pleased to hear the commissioner has begun , finally , we have to tell people that the fears which talks do not have to be disproportionally . this compromise , which they themselves people purchased , must be implemented to be possible until the european union membership . we therefore need the support of the commission , because although we have the necessary determination , sometimes lack of ammunition indispensable . this is something essential in order , as the european union , bogged objectives aimed at the implementation of our own internal reforms . however , there are points and issues of magnitude of which we disagree with . this is detrimental to the european union itself , for their future in relation to america and also to a common european security and defence policy , since it introduces risks with russia and with other countries . independent we hope there results and that no one has to be postponed to another intergovernmental conference it must be done to ensure that enlargement can take place . - ( fr ) i shall be brief , as i have been a moment ago , since in my first speech , i finishers three minutes ago . it is very important , and from that standpoint i am delighted that the commission to work in an information campaign , that commissioner verheugen wants it to be both extensive and de-centralised . but - and will be my last speech , i would like to say quite clearly : i am not pessimistic in this respect , i do not want a choice with regard to enlargement - to have credibility , we must also be taken seriously , we must understand it , we must also be able to collect the accession of the peoples of the peoples of the candidate countries and of our peoples . ando with chiquitas , stout already at the moment , i see no need to talk about the financial perspective in relation to enlargement . i cannot speak today of even a single country . at the same reason expressed , incidentally , i also wish to join the european union . we shall now give the floor to the different rapporteurs . i have been given the task of being rapporteur in relation estonia . as conservative , i am very careful with taxpayers ' money . i believe that only then would have a rough idea of what people have succeeded in latvia in recent years . this is not enough , global strategy must be directed more intensively towards the citizens . lithuania has a considerable potential for economic growth in the long term . in the broadest sense it is the european union 's cooperation with the russian federation . and i have here a sensitive issue : the support of the public , both inside and outside the european union . as a result of an intelligent fiscal policy , direct foreign investments of last year exceeded the 5.450. billion euros . we do not want interfere and much less us germans . democracy slovak evolves form of a stable and previously had seen the opposite . in this speech , i propose to highlight and bring the six points in the development of the situation hungarian with a view to membership of the european union , to be mentioned specifically . therefore , i am pleased to see has discussed the matter in the general report on the enlargement of the rasov . finally , i must mention a cloud ominous mixture which is hovering over europe and i must say to personally for 23 years agents secrets bulgarians launched a campaign in western europe and individuals , including my friend mr markov , writer known and integral part of the media , which was murdered in a street in london in plenary today . criminal been attacking georgi specify that . the creation of a high level group is something i recommend my fellow members . the report we have the honour of offer and which has also been adopted unanimously in committee notes that the part of the territory controlled by the legal authority fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . to this end , and without prejudice , of course , the commission 's role as representative of the cfsp , mr solana , will play a key role to play our own . the main problem with malta remains , however , that the accession process is assessed on a different way by the government and opposition and the european union attaches importance to this process of accession expires in of continued . consists of even the usa and mexico levels are closest . therefore , in the internal market we opted for a strategy okay , flexible and appropriate to the challenges . recapacitada between but let me also say here that i respect the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe , who had the courage to take to the streets and in ten years ago kick-start this process . the information society is important both for the former as for the new industry . we cannot leave cegar by the percentages of community law incorporated into national legislation . this means that the only way sensitively in eastern europe when elapsed between 15 and 20 years on from this moment . amazes unacceptably long . environment will recover this also applies to the transport of live animals for slaughter , which is something degrading . we are now trying to impose an obligation to carry out assessments of the consequences for health in the case of all the pieces of major importance . my report 's opinion must also speak of the european union must make clear that european funds for regional development cannot continue to otorgándose based on a mere share-out between regions or areas . accountancy and elmar brok began his intervention with the observation that everyone will be beneficiaries of enlargement , in particular , those who are on this side of the existing external frontier . rightly the inland waterways will be important for environmental reasons , because we must draw from the road haulage and if they can transporting onto the railways then we should use the routes seafaring and rivers . it was also a question of selfishness and especially of populism , and the change downward revision of the euro has not helped certainly in the right direction . our message for the accession countries , is : does not stop astray by the extension of these reports , the dossiers . unfortunately , at the moment there are many parties which have been removed your mask ideological and alright , therefore , very few ideals and too materialism . if you need to postpone the acquisition of land and housing for family reunification , let us use the right to free . there can be put at risk because of lack of transparency and the palpable resistance , although not public , a number of governments . hitherto but furthermore , what are the millions of jobs pledged by the maastricht treaty ? at the moment we are revising the treaties , some member states already demanding a new cap reform . the majority of the international surveys show that enlargement means profits macroeconomic . however , except minorities insignificant , any political group denies the main objective of european policy that is not to join as soon slovene in the european union . once the union had been expanded rapidly , should diferenciarla manner , as stated in the common position on enlargement adopted by the eldr group . remarkable for me there is no doubt that the obligatory regime and institutional framework which operates in that country da as a result muchas long-term consequences for the health of the orphans . urge you to support the relevant amendments . even here , european politicians , declare very little sympathy for the negotiation process . cyprus will be a sort of bridge to the countries of the region . i wish to negotiators to continue its work successfully in this important area . of course , it is also a second gamut of communication between our countries and countries which seek accession to erasure of what is involved in the european union . we cannot give ourselves the luxury of losing occasions such as those which took place in the early 1990s . mr president , first of all , as socialist rapporteur for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent report . it is for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , should show to this historic challenge , also with regard to the fears of our own public opinion , and regain the cherish , the ambition and the vision of europe 's founding fathers . unfortunately , i feel that this process of enlargement despite the numerous and fine words and the intertwined openness and closure of numerous chapters , is not driven by the council with the necessary energy policy . many countries of the union afrontaron similar problems at some stage in their development and can advise on bulgaria to help overcome those who faces at the moment . democracy is not just a question of majorities but mainly of a balanced co-decision rights of minorities . applicant countries must be regarded as equals and their accession dependent on their own development . at the same time we have to acknowledge the efforts made by countries such as lithuania , to compensate for lost time . therefore , is in our interest to extend our legal system and of liberties until romania , and this is undoubtedly an argument in the debate with our public opinion . however , there is a subject on which there is great interest uninformative . my group therefore supports periods of transition periods in the environment until a maximum of five years . mr president , it is imperative that we give them a positive impetus to enlargement . certainly the debate remains open as regards the order of receipt of these countries , because it will see the progress of its internal reforms . i am pleased that the report that positive and that slovenia has really endeavoured to satisfy the criteria - which i have seen on several occasions as head of the delegation is still too depict the commissioner . mode of massed in my opinion , this proposal deserves to be examined . these forms of violence and the trafficking in women must be condemned and now combated by every means both within the eu and in the candidate countries . on this occasion , i share the views of many of our colleagues on the need to be examined closely , the issue of the boundaries of europe and , therefore , that of how much will be extended as well as the convenience of drawing up a special report on the european parliament . thoughts and messrs once and for all finalising ; the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . thank you . at a time when we say in this house that in a europe of citizens ' rights must be enshrined in the right of the union . properly , on i put to the vote the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . we know that the undesirable substances which we occupy almost never impinge on immediately , but they are harmful substances from long life and acumulables , such as dioxins , the aflatoxinas , and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . long-term , we cannot find culprits . " " in this case , we must demand that this is snags to control services and should be made public that the product has been toned-down . indeed , we must make known and public debate on this problem . if allows dilute products such as minimum however , it must be clear that the crisis in dioxin was the result of criminal acts that contravenían existing rules . mr president , i would like to thank the preceding and the previous speakers . it is an absolute necessity . for example , the limit value for fish meal is different from that proposed for products of animal origin not sailor . it is high time we end up with an interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity , which aims to increase each day than the subjugation in brussels on our nations . fallacious like the rapporteur , i believe that there are grounds for doing all these things and to analyse the substances for which you mentioned , although we are not toxins for themselves , show increments at the highest levels . unfortunately it has lost a great deal of knowledge , the wisdom inherited a farmer , in an industrial production in which animals have been reduced to be production units and goods . the new regulations , and simplified requirements in terms of hygiene very complex and detailed than hitherto were spread in numerous directives . fusionarán armonizarán according to my enquiries , the number of people who are reporting on the exact content is relatively small . secondly , it is clear that in spite of everything is going to introduce a change which affect farmers , who are the producers of raw materials used in animal feedingstuffs . in future , they are being forced to destroy an increasing number of items considerably greater raw materials . these allowances are needed , although it is clear that the farmers are esmeran maximise for garnatizar the health of their animals . amendment no 18 propose explicitly include that water in the definition of feedingstuffs . on the basis of these scientific assessments of the elements of risk , the commission propose to member states adequate measures to limit the presence of these substances in animal feed . having studied the amendments submitted for approval at this plenary sitting , i am grateful for parliament to the proposal . in general terms , therefore , the commission can accept 15 of the 27 amendments . i am therefore assuming that it is time we will not be shares responsibility with the hook . the commission is committed to elaborarla and has also announced that it cannot act of that overnight . farmers need acquainted with greater accuracy , also in figures percentage - at least when it soliciten- , everything containing compound feedingstuffs and in what proportion is present . downright power graefe zu baringdorf , and also to mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and to express the hope that the council will adopt a constructive position in relation to these issues and can be put together a system of declaration more transparent for animal feed . all this , of course , is due to the tragedy of bse , which has been a real ongoing saga , with various episodes . but we cannot accept the use of pollutants , injurious to the health of humans and animals . but let us begin with the good thing . this proposal is the first in a series of initiatives based on the white paper on food safety . thank you , 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 the application for membership of the european union and on the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] hungary report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by mrs nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of the european union and the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] romania thirdly , perhaps the most difficult , that the council will approve the new institutional measures which will allow the community function efficiently , efficient and democratic in after enlargement . although we agree with the principles of article 13 , it is clear that secondary legislation which the european union from 2004 , it goes far enough , and that there is no reason for denying the applicant countries which have a right to cultural diversity . sometimes produces in conclusion , i must stress the fact that the enlargement process must be done by progressively , at the pace of the adaptation of the candidate countries . in the current context and nationalization voices have begun to listen attacking the enlargement of the european union , it is important that parliament gives a clear political signal in favour of it . . . ( fr ) since its inception , the european union has vocation of bringing people . the criteria of the council in copenhagen in 1993 on the democratisation process or the ability to compete reinforced , by way of acquis communautaire , the reign of a brutal capitalism and destroyer . under these conditions , lemmings rushing to enlargement at risk of accentuate the currents populists and fascistoides that are appearing here and there . on the agenda for today 's sitting reproduced exactly a report on equal opportunities between men and women , which is once again give an indication of how poor results is making the acquis into practice in precisely this area . who could , in fact , denying entry into the european home to the poland and the john paul ii , the hungary in 1956 or the capital-símbolo , prague , when democracies grass-root defenestraban per head of state and aplastaban the people of jan palach , inmolado for freedom of copérnico stricken in budapest , ? a bigger europe and with more precise new tasks and greater financial resources . i take this opportunity to welcome the elderly and pensioners to estonia 's trusting in that it draws attention to their opportunities to live within the european union . if latvia continues and the european union adapts his institutional structure and its policies in order to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why this should not be able to join the union . latvia progressing if we continue to work and the european union adapts his institutional structure and its policies in order to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why this should not be able to join the union . lithuania lithuania in the environmental field , too , have verified progress self-evident , with the creation of ' national fund for environmental protection and with the principle of ' contaminador-pagador " . ' to permit the entry of poland into the common house , the european union will do justice to the freshly first-served : a justice which it has been negated for too long . i look forward to rapid incorporation of the czech republic . . ( it ) i welcome the report queiró on turkey 's application for membership of the european union , and i agree with most of the conclusions he reaches the rapporteur . hungary i look forward bulgaria join the union in the not too distant future . poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) this is a point of view fair and balanced agreement which the council of ministers must take seriously . i hope that the negotiations were held under the auspices of the un can bear results , so that both communities , and greek cypriot , profiting from the advantages of joining the eu within a republic reunited . jointly incidentally . ( it ) i welcome the report by mr poos on turkey 's accession to the european union . however , we are in the last stage of the food chain and so are the receiving end of the corruption and counterfeits . dietary consumers ; we are particularly concerned that , at european level and in concrete terms , food safety departs from the dehesa until the bureau . precisely because we are in favour of the development of cooperation , really and truly equal partners , between all the countries of the world , we do not intend , with our vote , to masking a superchería . among fraternales the council informed parliament before the vote in committee , but with a margin of time , ruling out any possibility of a debate mini me or with parliament . tiny thereby deliberately in my report advocate greater involvement of ngos , greater accountability to parliament , drawing up an annual report to be debated in parliament , the highest possible level of transparency , the promotion of the memory of the past in the fight against prejudices and the recognition of the multiple discrimination . representation and at the same time , we must bear in mind the legitimate interests of employees . in his capacity as principally responsible for resolving the problems of discrimination in the workplace , the social partners are in the more favourable position to propose solutions implementable . jenny was the collective ' charter ' was the coordinator of myself and my group 's 20-25 from the hearings on article 13 . access . praxis and action programmes to encourage member states to combat discrimination on the basis that the commission is able to fulfil its role as guardian of the treaties and also of pioneer in social debate . premises and because directives although the present legal basis for further preparatory actions , their funding within that category could lead to a reduction in appropriations for other policies . liberates loans ladies and gentlemen , we are faced with a proposal for a framework directive necessary but insufficient , whose mechanisms chance to perfecting once a year later implementation time . i hope the commission to study carefully the legislation of discrimination on grounds of sex in the light of this new directive . i congratulate the commission and to colleagues who have drafted the report . i welcome the recommendation of the mann report , given the opportunity to ask the staff prerequisites for carrying out its duties in relation to such a nature . organisations from civil ideological the speed with which the institutions have made use of the powers of amsterdam , commissioner , demonstrates that the european union remains pioneer in equal opportunities , and i would like to thank very explicitly to the european commission for this . the presence of discriminations from very diverse linen in our societies confirms the importance of the programme of action which is the subject of the report by mr cashman . mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , would like to express dismay that gives us the way in which europe and the member states do coping with the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia . can you explain the commissioner why the commission disassociating itself from this ? secondly , while recognising its importance , in my opinion , it is a problem that we should invite ngos involved in implementing the programme , regardless of its size , its characteristics and its action . the liberal and democratic has considered all this , but in particular the work of parliament who wanted to stress , also and above all , on the prevention of phenomenon , addition of best practices . it represents a challenge for us all because all judging people for the first impression . mr president , fight and legislate against discrimination equates to recognise that there are even which are often " legalised " because they are trivializadas . the first , the cnucyd , the conference of the united nations for trade and development , which took place in geneva at the beginning of inequalities compensatory measures , and therefore of discrimination . 1963 in fact , information and awareness campaigns are of crucial importance in this area , should serve as a new mentality , a new way of thinking and must be made to venzan radically these prejudice still widespread among the people and ensure the real equality of all citizens in terms of human rights . detonating to drum therefore , is also important to make progress with the two legislative initiatives that are now discussing , although mejorándolas in some respects and increasing the amounts allocated for the socrates programme and reflecting the political importance this fight against discrimination . in particular , the agreement on the principle of adjustments , which have been trendsetters sweden and ireland , will ensure that employers adapt their places of work , equipment and amended its working practices in a way that employees disabled are really to have a fair chance . now the whole of europe will acquire special-purpose reasonable article 13 is the point of departure for a new goal for the eu : combating discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens for causes listed in the same . the second point i should like to make is unfortunately the serious mistake committed by the commission with this first package to prioritise between grounds for discrimination . mr president , discrimination on the grounds of religion is as unacceptable as any other form of discrimination . as the layman unconvinced , i would not know therefore accept it . however , the idea of admitted to the maximum possible , provided they are compatible with identical measure of freedom for others , even today , however , with obstacles : some of them and others are right . generous every citizen freedom shocks one of the directives has already been adopted in record time , and i am hopeful that the other is adopted in november , during the french presidency . some do not comply with other legal requirements , for example , the amendment relating to the provisions of the committees . instead , i cannot accept amendment no 38 to abolish article 5 of the list of differences of discrimination on grounds of age can be justified . parliament has also addressed the issue of the conformity of contracts . that is the first time that we allow joint projects in this action programme . it is obvious that the more so universal code and , more effective falsehood . article 7 of the code oblige states to commit to prevent exports to deflected towards end-users undesirable . . ( it ) mr president , confess that i am of the times in which the european parliament , as well as from the various pacifists and unions , it incitaba to reflect and to work towards a gradual reduction of the manufacture of weapons and we wondered how converting production warlike in production civil-military . nostalgia since movements. in view of the situation in which they are today the planet and our continent after the end of the cold war and the breakdown of equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , such an approach would be irresponsible . these weapons are made , as it were , in the symbol of anarchy in many places in the world . cfsp actions to combat crises beyond the limits of the eu and not something that could be seen as a common defence policy . sympathises these are designed to prevent the export of arms to governments to commit violations of human rights , to areas of conflict or to regions thrown into a career in the field of armaments . the commission , in close collaboration with member states , participated actively in the formulation of the joint action of the european union on small arms and light weapons . the next item is the commission undertakes to make a statement on the area of research in europe . introduce forms of intervention in the longer term , intermediary between the support of projects and funding , using the instruments with variable-geometry offered by the treaty , and specifically the union 's participation in national programmes , as envisaged in article 169 of the treaty . institution- what we want to strengthen , is that character of hierarchy , and that depends on the way of intervention . you say that believes in a shake-up of the overall framework programme . i believe that today we need something which the european research area , that is something that goes beyond framework-programme that comes as surcharge for national programmes , we need an element structuring , which means that we must accept formulae . structured thank you for your speech and his views with the stoa , i believe we must do something together , because that is something that concerns the house , the joint research centre , to the institutes of foresight extant in several member states . constructive spirit in which refers to . it seems that the commission continues to giant steps towards the completion of the european research area . there will be a chapter whole-year on science and society and its citizens . there has been in contact with the greek authorities , ireland and portugal to ask the government of those countries which expedited the submission to the commission for its visions of the cohesion fund . perhaps the non-existence of universal service that i have mentioned - that existed in the previous commission devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund could be more specific elements . my second question is : regardless of the cohesion fund , there are of the community support framework , the structural and regional programmes , etc. now how countries received projects and programmes which countries have already approved definite what ? in 1989 the commission submitted a new proposal which would offer greater flexibility . and , despite the fact that the main objective of the treaties which are closer to home , it should apply the legislation on fair competition in europe in cases where the taxation is totally disproportionate . we must look at the effect that can take in this situation the legislation on competition , despite the general rule that these matters are prerogative of member states . copper foreign companies to a general rule prohibits bolkestein if we want to retain the fuel , the way of doing this through the tax , and not through other forms of taxation . i would say to mr purvis that of the natural handicaps and regional level is a matter that falls to the national governments , as part of his electorate finds itself in these areas outlying areas and peripheral regions . probably mr president , commissioner , thank you for the information society . the spring summit and the last summer , the commission did a general review of its activities and human resources . there are some who would argue . these children are being used more and more for tourists and businessmen that , mostly , hail from europe . the commission is convinced that all businesses can prepare for the final step on the euro , including the adaptation of their systems and software . the debate político-filosófico is no longer on the agenda , but in general we consider the dangers of a referendum , but perhaps in another context . the same applies to elk . it was recently sent a reminder to the french authorities . in relation to the candidate countries , i can tell you that it has held meetings with them in relation to the issue of animal transport and agreements were reached introductory comments . however , in the sowing season in the last spring the commission was informed that had been interceptado seed imported from traditional varieties of different species , including the cotton , containing remnants of genetically modified seeds . however , after consulting their services , i am able to inform the honourable member for a directive on electrical or electronic products , the directive concerning the limits of tension electric , as well as the directive on team of radio and terminals in telecommunications , prescriptive about essential requirements in terms of security of computer equipment for private use or in the workplace . does it agree with me , however , in this case the distinction between on safety at work , in a class schooling or for a child to do their homework at home is a false distinction ? perhaps estreche side-by-side of president khatami . today aung san suu kyi is once again be exercised in fact to house arrest . so i am reluctant to go further in terms of trade or to recommend additional measures in the field of trade and investment . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : my informers mentioned at some of the meetings electorally , for example , to which they had attended . questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . what we want is a report which was published and subjected to consideration of this parliament . consolidated european we should concentrate on switch to produce weapons instead of thinking about the way to compete with other countries manufacturers of weapons of everybody . non-extension the five permanent members of the security council , which reputedly alliances for our security , ought to pay attention to these proposals and negotiations as soon as possible a settlement really worthy of the 21st century . the debate today is an important step in the reform process which began the prodi commission a little more than a year ago . i cannot help feeling that in his career by producing a proposal within the time limit on established by the white paper on reform , the commission does not atendió appropriately to the details . i therefore propose that both the financial controller and the internal auditor make annual detallando their activities . the van hulten report quite rightly , the differentiation in which the commission pleads and gives a good impetus for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . aggravates further we hope that this does not happen again ! if we establish something for large institutions that we should use all the escalafón such independence that the committee of wise men outlined . in the past , we have noted with great propensity to undue delay in the decision-making processes creating frustration among job-seekers and a loss of confidence in the european institutions . i should like to tell the commissioner that this report is not only an intermediate step and an intermediate step which is the first step in building a bridge between the system we have now control and the system we wish to achieve after the reform . signifies . this is the content of the proposal . only when it does it intend to introduce the sampling , the selection procedure , which is monitored frequently . consequently , beyond mere words , we are aware that the task is not so easy . obviously , i also think that neither politicians nor can we tackle the technicians in any way the problem we alone . the majority of children and adolescents increases , however , fortunately , in a way which does not present any kind of problem areas . i fully agree with the president of the committee on the need to draw up a constitution and in my opinion , it is obvious that the principle of subsidiarity and the eu should therefore refrain from making policy in the large number of areas where the insights politicians are not trans-border this catalogue similar to be strengthened . feedback information from the whole world and in all areas of knowledge comes at a very short time into our houses and communication via the planet is for them experience of a day-to-day basis . detained very shortly afterwards , to the policemen : " interestingly , in the series hideous television , does not leave catch so easily " . declared legislators - and i will end here , mr president , it cannot solve everything , but they sometimes remembering rights and duties of each . below-the-line i am also very receptive to the comments made on education , training for learn to read images , on the awareness of the younger generations to take a critical approach to the half-realized ideals and not languish anything , at any time and in any way . bio-patent nothing will further damage to the views that are forming the fact that a report like this do not break-through or not to make possible or not to start at least to break down the barriers to which faces today mobility . educational greater mobility the outstanding problems in the various member states are of topics : for example , in terms of social security , taxation and the lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and of the stages . fellowships , right of residence , different rules it is high time that europe devote attention to the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe . reconsideration of the experience on the mobility of students and teachers shows that the real difficulties to free movement of education , but rather in the fields of action by the authorities of social security , finance and immigration policies . they are not so much in authorities it has been mentioned as an example of this , the socrates programme . there must be clear , control plain , albeit by sampling , and , above all , a counter , a website , where the pupils can collect their complaints . inspectorate that is why we are asking to be incorporated into the category of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . it is easy to do so in a speech , but not so in practice . the debate is closed . we appreciate his actions , similar to the president chirac or minister 's joska fischer . the european union must speak with one voice in foreign policy and reflect a capacity of defence and security policy . we need a forum for decision-making in order to deal with issues instrumental to both sides as migratory flows , the transfer of production factors , the energy supply . the proposal for a resolution on the commission 's reports , on which the honourable members will speak later , is a lot about this . it is clearly in the report prepared by the finnish presidency on women and the decision-making process . indicators which has produced enable evaluate the progress made . apart from the conference of ministers and the symposium on equal proficient , two very important , specifically dedicated to equality , but corresponding to the council on employment and social affairs , are worthy of mention . texts the second concerns the principle of non-discrimination , including the based on sex . with regard to the reports , i must say for the rest -the madam president-in-office of the council also took up this - that one of the major problems in the eu are naturally take great cultural differences . the reports presented here are a good example of this . we must ensure that the directive on equality truly formed part of the rules . i believe that this method is taken first for finland , is feasible in numerous areas and , since it forms part of the strategy of gender equality in the commission , you might expect much from him . on behalf of the equality of opportunity , french women have cornered , thanks to europe , the right to work at night . as a french citizen , this vision of the world amazes me particularly foreign policy . despite these reservations , i shall vote in favour of this report because of course we are in favour of equal opportunities , but it is primarily with respect for everyone . the deprive to mothers freedom of educate our children without remuneration , it will foot the bill later in the form of crime youth and vandalism . that in this context i would remind you of our report on the division of the derived rights of pensions in the event of divorce thanks to which pensions for survival and pensionable age were incorporated finally to the directive on 1979 . women polish we were very grateful for having made it clear that the representative of the present there is not conveyed the attitude of women polish . greater involvement of women at all levels of government and in all areas of life is essential to give greater depth to democracy and achieving and maintaining peace . in conclusion , i should like to mention the situation of women in the candidate for accession to the european union . the council , especially men who have the important task of leading to europe in the fight against mafia exploitation of women to slave trading is not something that responsible politicians circumvent , shun or ignore . compose it , in this respect this . the reports and interventions that today we are analysing conveyed , as many of us , that the problem of equal opportunities is a problem in order to deal with it , are necessary , because women are not a category either a social group homogeneous nor any collective . structure , and we already knew global strategies it is true that i was a little sad to see that maria de belém roseira not already held this post . two of you mentioned new social rights , replanting rights tax . thirdly , because they are the basis strategic not only for the european union - have at our disposal a picture of the situation in the charter of human rights has played an important - but also at national level , since they can member states through the benchmarking determine national targets . even the the joint debate is closed . these amendments must be them in the context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament could not dwell on these amendments because they have been overcome in any way by the new interinstitutional framework . compromise with the comitology newfound however , i , personally , i still believe that the text adopted in its day for parliament responded to the new realities of the internal market and the liberalisation of markets , insofar as that elements of clarifying and control that loaded amendments not accepted greater guarantees that the regulation was to be implemented and that they were going to follow the same procedures when it comes to applying them . encountered a lot better still totalled if we want to accept the commitments , the european community must be the first celosa in ensuring compliance with its own rules , because if a country has the possibility of bringing in the community products on the path of contraband what use are they going to bother to negotiate with us any kind of concession ? third-country nationals furthermore , parliament 's amendment on the customs formalities through declarations , accepted by the council , will lead to the customs administrations of member states to be equipen with the means computerized control more modern computer . but now it is too late now that you have just take the vote and the members have voted in favour . votes ( continuation ) report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) on the commission 's annual reports ' equal opportunities for men and women in the european union - " [ com ( 1998 ) - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities . draftsman : lone dybkjær . 1997 , 1998 and 1999 302 106 it is not the first time i am speaking on the mobility of students and the body of teachers . this report is much more important as it occurs at a critical time for the european union : that of enlargement . discrimination is not fights creating jobs additional administrative but by changing the mentality of persons . i voted against the mann report because , if we do indeed need to try to achieve equality of treatment of persons in the field of employment and labour , we should not lead to the extent of abandon all protection of fundamental freedoms and respect the rule of law . the zealousness as layman unconvinced that i am , i have not been able to join it . the snp fully welcomes this directive and its objective of ending discrimination at work . if we want to draw up a directive plausible and viable cannot cargarla of florituras and illusions , since it is expected of a legislative text . however , the eplp has serious reservations about the following areas . there are elements which , in our opinion , should be left to the member states , such as the overall , the provision of training for workers from certain groups of age , the nature of the system of mediation , and the way in which smes to interpret the directive . aplicaión hulten quite rightly points out in this same interview that we can only begin with a positive agenda once they have been resolved problems such as fraud , wastage and the lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process . the reason for my vote on this report relates to , in essence , with the question of closer relations between the european union and nato , and also with the moves towards a common defence policy . the report is also understands the export of weapons in europe as a way of solving conflicts in the occupied territories fro . however , i do not accept that it requires a common defence policy and a security policy and european defence identity within nato . children are victims of violence productions . i am glad that it was carried out this study . at community level , will constitute an expert group with a mandate to prepare a memorandum laying down general principles for the protection of minors in the face of the media . dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) it is particularly interesting is the fact that , for the first time , make clear the need to assess the effectiveness of the political initiatives with the commission 's annual reports . peru mr president , in peru is currently moments of uncertainty and we hope that the current situation will be resolved through a process , in which all civil and political rights , which serve to strengthen the consolidation of democracy and peace in peru , a country which has suffered 25 000 deaths in the past fifteen years . live all the guarantees and the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which extraneous elections peruvian over the last may were unacceptable . b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . and i therefore believe it is also positive that the resolution contains several points clear and unequivocal specifically relating to the situation of women and attention to how necessary it is that we try to help prevent the taliban continue its total discrimination against women . the eu awaits an important task . it cannot take place recognition by any member state while persists policy on human rights violation , in particular the systematic discrimination pro-women . and this is true that we must bear in mind since the european institutions and also that of drug use is made to buy arms crops . however , will give full support to the neighbouring countries in order to help them to improve their financial resources are to combat this evil . i think it is a good time to reiterate the need for the european union starts to draft a policy of nature comprehensive with regard to latin america which may possibly could prevent these countries crossed periodically crisis situations such as those that have occurred in some of them . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , as the commission and parliament we very much welcome the release of jesuit spanish , mr alejandro matos castro , occurred last week . b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : outlawing of higher education centres and universities ; consequently , all we are glad that the problem of higher education finally looks pointing towards a solution really positive . enormously that is , therefore , i am concerned , a good example to all the neighbouring countries in which no one can only sow hatred , through education , as is happening now so often , but that education can also serve as cradle to a multi-étnica peaceful coexistence . i too would have preferred that had been found a solution which mereciera the approval of all the parties represented in parliament . let me take this opportunity to point out that the commission has already had a very good experience so far as the collaboration with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , are concerned . we are not debating today in this house to express our sorrow . we are talking about what has happened , for what has happened and how to remedy the situation , how can we help from now on , the commission and the european parliament , so that such events cannot be repeated in future . only principally on in any case , mr president , we agree with this proposal for a resolution , which we support , as a matter of urgency , and of course , based on what i mentioned earlier , we do not agree with the amendments presented as well as urgently as it stands now . as regards the amendment on working conditions , there is a directive on this issue ; on the other hand , the wording of amendment is not as successful as the text . that is simply not acceptable to islands northern and eastern scottish and neither is for the potential route from the north sea until the european continent , which i hope will be established in the not too distant future . i am glad that the greek government has suspended this exemption in the meantime . hence the commission addressed to the greek government immediately wreck of the samina express , requesting information about the implementation of existing community law . therefore , i would like to ask , pleaded with which the presidency to wonder whether apart from the abolition of friday , some have begun to delete also thursday . well-coordinated . let me also say that we can have an immediate lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a package of financial aid that can help the serbian people to re-establish its economy , on the part of the european union , are the mechanisms to ensure that at a time when the popular will be respected , i.e. at the time in which we have a government sustained by the people who voted in the poll by mr kostuníca , firstly , the serbian people . perhaps it is decided at the moment in the streets of belgrade if the democratic change commences now and can be implemented without violence . we condemn all actions which can be seen as provocations , particularly when it comes to the holy places of jerusalem . and we must tenderle side-by-side would very symbolically - as was said by mr unknown with such a meeting in zagreb . the fact that the police and the israeli army has used bullets of fragmentation , bullets that when we reach the corps in tens of shreds and which are prohibited internationally , even in the fights between soldiers , and we now have been used against citizens . strange thing is estallan i think that europe can do a lot and must make a lot in this respect with transparency and decisiveness . consequently , we must do everything in our power to stop this fire as soon as possible . we must avoid the provocative as the action of ariel sharon . today the same thing has happened , and it will impede and prevented from europe , in all these years , play a role as mediator in the middle east , leaving this role for the united states . not sacrificaremos serbian people on behalf of our objectives and morals , since that would spell the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . sublimes madam president , as my final point i would suggest that as soon as possible and as having a new yugoslavian government , will send a delegation from parliament to planning , together with the new yugoslavian government , the reconstruction of a new serbia . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , obviously we are witnessing a historic day in this parliament , the day that might be puts an end to one of the last cornerstones of a totalitarian dictatorships in europe . probably mr president , there is a problem in the file to the issues of urgent - do not know whether the same is happening in the other language versions lingüísticas- will only articulates the amendments of the gue / ngl group . lacks the motions for resolutions and the joint text . since german mr president , i should just like to draw attention to the mound of documents which have brought this week to vote . if parliament could tabling amendments to the council decision , social and environmental problems of unemployment in croatia derived from the diet imposed on this country , but there is no legal basis for this sort of amendments . reminiscent presumably under these circumstances this is the opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . mr president , yesterday afternoon , we are talking about serbia and on revolutionary changes taking place there . for this reason , i should like to make an urgent appeal to my colleagues and , in particular to the council , so that during the negotiations for next year 's budget and the thereafter be tailored to the commission 's proposal that , in my opinion , has been better assessment of the total costs in croatia and also in other parts of the balkans . maximise in 1990 elections were held democratic forces which were considered internationally as free and fair . so yes , yes , but also a strong request to the commission to support this country , in accordance with the rule of law , and so that you put on the list of candidates for membership , because i believe that croatia has earned our full backing to this financial support to this guarantee fully to profoundly european now governed democratically . like the rapporteur , i wonder whether there will be money for this purpose , above all , bearing in mind that , in short , we must establish a comprehensive stream monetary towards serbia and that the union 's budget will not increase in practice . also delegations from parliament 's appealed to the council that the mandate of the eib . nautical and croatia i hope that thumb sooner contacts and , as well as for croatia , it grant aid to the serbian people too that deserves all our respect . ( the minutes were approved ) it is therefore with this in mind that inviting the women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation on tuesday and wednesday will have a list and recogeremos signatures and accessions to delegation , precisely in mood of establishing bridges between women peacekeeping where , however , there is violence . : in short , there has been more suffering for basques and spaniards ; indeed , spanish and basques tired of the current conflict . madam president , you will recall , in the last part-session , evoqué the plight of democracy , james mawdsley , which had been arrested illegally occupied by the burmese authorities . british ombudsman madam president , in my case it is really a point of order . in fact , this report ostensibly technical , which does not seem attract major changes in order politician is extremely important in that it introduces the possibility of using genetic engineering at a viticulture , smuggled , genetically modified . if we do not vote in the report , it will procrastination . the council of state - as you said - has rejected this resource and been informed in due form this desestimación . however , now the case repeated and affects a colleague who , while it is epp does not belong to my political level in italy . dirk sterckx . hence , making for the introduction of a social scoreboard , as has also been made for the internal market , with clear measures , with maximum periods of time and with bounds . madam president-in-office , i hope that the council builds on the expectations of the european parliament and i hope that at the nice summit attains translate into a european social agenda ambitious targets to be able to continue working together in the coming years . following the informal council meeting on employment and social policy on 8 july in paris , the presidency has sought to all those involved - parliament , of course , economic and social committee , svc regions of the social partners , ngos , groups and committees expunged from communicate with you that your proposals . past ' . " treating it as it is a false debate and established a dual purpose : more jobs and better quality . quantitative qualitative lisbon clearly needed to promote this mobility and the same time guaranteeing the security of the trayectorias professionals . we must try to make an inventory of gaps remaining in the system and , in any case , naming on the agenda . the open coordination is , in our opinion , the way forward if we are going to ensure that a social europe . the implementation of the pretensions social pregonadas in lisbon , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the services , particularly those connected with the information society . requires an effort european-union obviously the cooperation of the commission is also important , but social problems have rooted locally and we must manejarlos respecting the specific circumstances . the social acted as a factor for correctness of the most harmful effects of economic policies . the commission 's original proposal was much better unaltered ; congratulations , commissioner . anna diamantopoulou for her excellent document . it is an agenda and i can still remember how difficult things move in the field of social protection in the last legislature . stubbornness with i believe that it will be very useful in helping to reconcile family and professional status of women also . i sometimes have the impression that the concept of modernising the understanding is often the undermining of social protection . what are the focal points of the text ? yet it is difficult to determine european objectives which have the same effect for all member states , since the reality is different for everyone . the commission has presented 49 amendments . perhaps things relates only to parliament and the commission , but , mrs wulf-mathies . another point is the increase in support of the community when it comes to judge the need for additional initiatives , including , if necessary , the transposition of legislation , equality and the fight against discrimination . in the past have not bereft of good ideas or the goodies schemes designed to achieve equality , but often failed its implementation . this is not right that the voice of women is acaparada by a handful of professionals in the claim that live in the injection of public money . equality of women and men in civil life , which allows women to the full enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms . i hope that , finally , performers boys entronquen here and curb the political roles of gender and stereotypes are now outdated . i think we should now like to thank him for having followed the debate , because it was not anticipated her presence during this debate . competition policy we must give our business conditions for them to be able to plan their production and especially its future . consumers must have access to a wide variety of high quality products and to competitively-priced and , ultimately , this is the reason for moving forward with a single market and , alongside that , with competition , because it will benefit all our citizens . it is the decision of subsidizing or of the decision not to subsidise in the field of coal . point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report speaks of greater legal security in the processing of applications and fusion power of shorter deadlines and effective response to the appeals to the courts . in all cases , state-owned companies which must not strength financial support for a impeccably corporate governance , but to the past and present positions monopolists . we need to introduce greater citizen participation in the information on competition policy , so that he noting advantages . these are matters of great importance to the regional economy and employment , and i hope that , in future , it will be made clear that these subsidies , which concern the development and the regional economy and whose most important factor exemplary is precisely the transport , can continue to be granted for subsidies household . this communication contains three messages science . evans for her excellent report on the rules in the field of state aid to the steel industry and on the eighth report on state aid in the european union . i would , therefore , reassure messrs mrs palacio and mr karas , as well as the other members who have spoken on these points , which the regulation takes note of your concerns . otherwise we shall be doing a disservice competition and to consumers . the debate is closed . the mechanism of funding conducts article 119 of the treaty on european union which is still in force during the third stage of economic and monetary union only for the member states not participating in the single currency . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , thank you because today we can still discuss the proposal for a council directive amending directive 68 / eec on trade with materials of the vine and also a positive vote tomorrow . i hope that 193 / overlords some of them , launched on 5 july , the so-called ' where there are expressing their concern contending with the introduction of gmos into the profession . beaune the rules which are favourable to the production of a material which offers the best guarantees , which is essential for accompany restructuring of vineyards , calvary 's new com vine and wine-growing . forecast for the rest vegetal diversified and health , goal-oriented community in loudly and clearly , it was necessary overloading the articles of this directive with reference to directive 90 / 220 at least trying to promote the strength of genetic manipulation of the vine . review process to be said i am happy to inform you that we can also accept amendments nos 35 to 40 amendments tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , consolidate the transposition of safety requirements and management according to directive 90 / 220 . i would simply like to note that there has been asked parliament to give an opinion as such . madam president , concerning paragraph 14 of our minutes on the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . i shall be more precise on qualified majority voting . on the weighting of votes , also on the table the two options : weighting in the interests of which is a hip , very slight majority , either double majority , but with various formulas , dual simple majority or reponderada or a form of ' mesh demographic " . continue well-known simply confirms , moreover , without prejudice to an assessment of needs and the coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic of yugoslavia , which is encomendarán jointly to the european commission and the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant to the federal republic yugoslav an initial emergency humanitarian aid of eur 200 million . but , ladies and gentlemen , if i had to say spontaneous and sincerely my impression , whatever the delicacy of the issues of the commission and the vote , we will not be based on this in order to gauge the success or failure of nice . -composición system would then read : look , another positive aspect was also the adoption of the charter of fundamental rights by the heads of state and government . nonetheless , mr president-in-office , i cannot fail to mention the same time as to why this was not possible . we must not kill the spirit of nice and , therefore , there is a fundamental priority over the last 50 days that remain elevate the negotiation at political level . platitude to : in this respect i would also like to address my colleagues in the european people 's party - and i would ask mr poettering that i escuche- because what we in this house what we need to defend it . as we know from the actions of the primeministers and chairmen in biarritz on the most peliagudas issues on the reform of the treaty , the charter should become the largest trofeo probably at nice . launching a great consultation on fish stocks , the national parliaments , enabling it to achieve a letter to actually needs , the council would indeed in line with the wishes of the european citizens . fuel-using it therefore needs to make an appeal to everyone to return to the origins of our union , have the courage which took giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt , in deciding the election by universal suffrage in 1979 , and that we finally have a president of the european union , the commission president of the european parliament in 1976 and decide on 2009 . in this respect , i would like to respond to what was said by mr poettering on the division between countries large and small countries . i refer back with a few words on matters of foreign trade policy , because it is a matter entirely seriously . it is , in any case , the precious little has been stressed that all members of the european council . a second very positive thing has been the adoption of the charter in its entirety . apart from that , it seems to me on this vital issue for the future of the european union and its method of decision-making , biarritz achieved some pauses and we can only pleased about . i hope we can still convince , single-mindedly to achieving results in this respect at nice . i cite two examples : the one hand , we move from the right to work at the right to work and , furthermore , several social rights contained in the social charter revised by the council of europe do not appear in the charter . the debates which have been taking place throughout europe , including those in biarritz , it is clear that the larger member states are trying to smaller member states to reform the eu into line with the approach pursued by the former and with your wishes . partly intimidate the dissatisfied with the two extremes are proof that we are moving towards a fair balance for negotiators . the leadership of the european union has not clearly formulated a vision . a commission based on criteria of representation of the individual member states betrays a vision short-sighted . a union of this kind would centralist and would make the small states of the union less than that the two-chamber system of usa attaches to the smaller states buddies . power after the summit at which were represented by all parties in order to find a way to stop the violence and resume the dialogue between barak and president arafat , we have seen how difficult halting the clashes , even if there was a moment at which seemed to be achieved . sharm-el-sheikh obviously some poor informers makes him to say to mr barón matters which are certain about italy and my party . it is important that the introduction of the european tax on energy consumption , which has so far been blocked by applying the principle of unanimity , breakthrough . we should not allow between member states emerges fear of being able to move towards solutions coming to an executive board . in my opinion , the convention has produced an excellent and i am proud of having been a member of this . in the latter case , the issue will be at what point function that principle of the rotation strictly egalitarian between large and small . the extension of qualified majority vote , together with the codecision procedure , the preservation of article 250m , in its current wording , place and the commission 's role in closer cooperation and not only on the first pillar : these are some of the elements which will enable us to judge instantly if there is , after all , success or failure to matters of truth . . ( fr ) mr president , thank you , jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , thanks to everyone , from vaclav havel carlo ciampi , since joschka fischer jacques chirac , since michel barnier pierre moscovici , since chris patten until costa simitis , including at florence , and the multitude of current meps who has returned , from 1999 , the great movement in favour of a european constitution . firstly to jacques up until widest-reaching until not critiquemos in over-capacity to europe , and it is a socialist , which is what it says : he has given us greater wealth for everyone . trader let us agree on at least this objective , and now that we do , say how to achieve it . i was pleased to note that the proposals tabled recently at the intergovernmental conference coincide on substantially with all or part of the criteria , mr president , i have presented . . ( fr ) mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , you were keen to hold a debate on the issues on which your house has considered it necessary to complete the opinion regarding the intergovernmental conference which was expressed last april . rapporteurs , and this morning , thus , while respecting the constitutional framework exists , it seems difficult - warn you - more than a procedure of parliament 's opinion consultative foresee at the outset . as you well know , this means that we make certain political elections , a reaches far larger than the regulation of the three requirements indicated previously . i myself have stressed that the formula adopted for the letter was a path to explore . but i grasped fully appreciate that beyond the aspect linguistic , your question hides a further concern . this is also why i wanted to thank you for the fund and in the way the initiative which you have taken . the implementation of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies which viniesen to join in the union 's institutions . it is time for revising the treaties . the european council offends against this european consensus with its refusal to integrate into the treaties and the european charter of fundamental rights , lent a binding legal value and give people whose rights are injured is possible to come back to the european court of justice . non-negotiable otherwise , i believe it will not be possible to achieve a europe of the citizens , . paragraph 8 : the constitution will - and i quote - ' issues that have remained open " . so far no one has managed tell me what has changed in the meantime . secondly , on the agenda , which has been left out issues particularly relevant for the future of the european union and the interest of european citizenship . an inadequate minister , it says on the eve of the revolution that she would have serious consequences for everyone - the russian byron mired in complex discussions on the design of the vestiduras corresponding to the cuaresma . bolchevique -acontecimiento so orthodox church therefore , partnerships should give any guarantees that the rapporteur has proposed , open to all , respecting the spirit of the treaties and without objecting to the acquis communautaire . however , there is one point i would like to stress : i do not think it right that we require that we are moving towards the demand for a referendum mandatory in all member states to adopt the proposed changes . state-owned or we have had a very lively debate in depth on two issues which are different , are at one point . gil robles for his work . we are prepared to make sure that we vote during the november part-session , allowing it to be adopted during the french presidency . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) what do we mean by ' the introduction of the possibility of gaining access to retirement progressively , through the part-time work ' , but a threat to the age of retirement , in spite of everything already excessively high in many countries ? we know that both to pensioners as well as children les fond of mermeladas . i have asked the pensioners who sent to parliament with the pensioners ' party if they would drink wine genetically manipulated . yet , exceptionally , dispose of material for multiplication vegetativa standard when other categories unable to meet the needs . or consequently , mr president , i ask you sub-conditions variations in the labour costs are not for these reasons restriction to free competition in the european union ? thus , the vote could only , as has been against it . despite the progress towards greater deregulation in the european union , state aid can continue to play a constructive role in achieving the economic and social progress . in order to protect the environment , public services and to guarantee equal income of the inhabitants of the less well-off regions , such aid may prove necessary . we indicate the danger that too in the picture of the european union aid to little avail after entrench the control of the european union in the sizeable state aid , pretext of competition in small and medium-sized enterprises . please direct section vi - economic and social committee an examination of the timetable for implementation of categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 of the budget allows concede that only an average of 8 % of all commitments are covered by payments involved . three years ago got under way our initiative in favour of employment with the support of the access of small and medium-sized businesses to risk capital . the european parliament intends to do so in two ways . the european institutions will only have been fulfilled its mission if this is achieved . in this context , i would like to thank the vice-president responsible for budgetary matters , the colleague gerhard schmid , for your constructive cooperation . we want to maintain its ability to work , but we cannot allow it to the institution that less attention paid to the orders of the european parliament as part of the budgetary authority . this committee that means that the year 2001 will be the last budget exercise complete and in this context we must also appreciate the commission 's proposal and we are putting forward to parliament . furthermore , we also demand that revise administrative expenditure . since 1985 - the committee on budgets of the european parliament has been endeavouring to ensure that the european parliament 's procedures take account of the financial impact of the resolutions we are therefore voting in plenary . well-worked 85- to conclude , mr president , by thanking the diligence of the other institutions in the processing of this joint statement . now you are asked pronouncing on a budget which was already amended at first reading by the council . with regard to internal policies , the council bowled margin , prudent in heading 3 , more important than that proposed by the commission . i would like to conclude , we will not be given to the financial perspectives for symbolism that do not have . an examination of the three sets of statistics backcloth to appreciate that there are still considerable differences , also for purely quantitative , of course , in terms of content . i would like to remind you that last year , after a long debate , reached a new comitology decision by common agreement with the council , and i have little hope will be possible to reopen the debate . in the financial perspective agreed in berlin for the period after 2006 is foresaw 8.100 million for the meda programme . solana . i would therefore ask both the council and the committee on budgets of the european parliament to think in foreign policy and not just in the budget when studying the foreign policy . the second relates to the aid which has to be forwarded to the victims of human rights violations requiring institutions specialising in treatments . if we manage to reach a compromise which supports the important work of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , we can reach agreement ; otherwise we will maintain our position at the time that we still . suffice it to look at our televisions and see the current difficulties in the middle east , so that we remember every day . i therefore hope that in tomorrow 's vote , yet we succeed in getting the required majority in favour of the centre of dublin . mr president , i would like to make a few points , starting with the rural policy , from the perspective of the committee on agriculture . we have asked to approve an indicative appropriation of eur 2 million for an information campaign on the cfp . the commission executive should negotiate with powerful arguments in order to achieve a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned belongs to them boosting politically this negotiation . today the 2001 with the image of the people of serbia in our retinas . overall , we should like to rubberstamped these amendments . an important way in which european citizens can ensure that tackle their concerns is that of recourse to the ombudsman or do petitions to parliament . turn first to parliament 's budget . for surprise to many of the members of my delegation , at the beginning of september lay down a strategy and the 400 amendments introduced by us in a way as a surprise to many of the committee on budgets . indisputable basic some of my colleagues proved it is difficult to think that the increase in jobs is going to solve the problem of management , if there are still procedures antiquated and complexes in the commission and council to address the many problems that exist . this house has repeatedly demonstrated in recent years that basing its work on the principle of a rigorous austerity . it is unacceptable for years been talk of commitments and always will promise beneficial , but when it comes transience of pay , then you say they are excessive and we must cut somewhat . despreocupadamente consignamos only a few million - may be much more - and at that time we promise , and then , when we really need it , we again . withdraw them suculentas the 2001 budget , as has already happened with the last year , it has had to deal with practically insoluble conflicts between the pressure in favour of consolidation and austerity , as decided at the interinstitutional agreement , so as to ensure the financing of enlargement , the one hand and , on the other hand , the pressing need to finance the stability pact for the balkans . the demands for increased yields also require more staff . the adoption of this amendment , in its original version , there would be able to start changing the start , but a majority of the committee on budgets rejected this idea . thus , the european parliament is preparing to say what it says , to implicitly accept the council 's position . in this case , the examples are , unfortunately , many of the privileged treatment to partnerships with the numerous ngos have a role , a philosophy and a functioning of the most controversial , to the financing of european political parties , via the amounts in the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of the member states of the euro at a time when the single european currency is experiencing a loss of confidence in largely shared by all europeans , since our friends danes until the leaders of the european central bank . vocation federalist or what well-founded and engullidas : finally , the fellow-commissioner mr heaton-harris has shown in their amendments the simpleza of many european programmes which are being offered to the citizen a story about european integration and which are , attention , eu-financed himself citizen . propagandist correctly furthermore , we must also modernize our administrative systems and we must continue , in addition , a good example . the meda programme , devoted to the mediterranean basin , geographical area of major strategic importance , it is a good example of lack of implementation capacity . when we talk about making cuts or find funds in category 4 for financing certain priorities , but we must not forget that parliament has its priorities . what we expressed very clearly in the vote in committee . so it will clarify this figure . thank you , mr wynn . it means that there are elements of flexibility to move in this or that policy , even when unsightly cannot or do not want to do this , and it applies to the countries of the union also applies to the candidate countries . downright real i think austria cannot complain about what has happened , quite the opposite . the recommendations of regional organisations , as well as the experiences of neighbouring countries will undoubtedly continue to contribute to the definition of these resources . in the year 1984 , the 0.2 % of landowners in colombia possessed by 32 % of land . the council is not to mention one or another aspect of this issue , which is extremely delicate and painful . at the same time , nor can commence in this way a debate on issues which are , once again , an extremely complex . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : i therefore cuidaré to give a definitive answer on this difficult issue . quite simply , we would sentiment , and your reply vindicates somewhat , that the council presidency is not indicates very self-willed when it comes to discuss this issue . therefore , the entry of tax is obviously not be nil . i would also apologize , but we are going to apply the rules of procedure . however , like to ask you if i understood that the french presidency intends to propose new measures for the adoption of the tobin tax , or if i interpret it is by no means a question of political will , but simply that you too , who are seated in the left the chamber , have reached the conclusion that it is impossible . introduction of the tobin tax at world level . it is impossible not the other hand , pending the adoption of this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies , took the decision to withdraw the materials that present risks with regard to these diseases , in order to stop any further progress in the epidemic and ensure the highest possible level of health protection , in june 2000 , the consumer necks . i have no other elements which i have just stated . we are very familiar with the work of the commission and council directive on the erika package 1-44 . however , with regard to this step , which is well-known in both countries and known within the european union , which is a particularly difficult , for which available for earning only a few hours , with the risk of an old cascarones coming to encallar and lead to a disaster , i would have liked to know , and especially to the inhabitants of corsica and sardinia , they would have liked to know whether it will be possible if foresees prohibiting the passage of strait of bonifcacio to these major shipboard , these large containers . and purely and simply shipboard big step and i therefore think that we should support , in principle , the commission 's proposals for amending the staff policy . the community budget needs new funds in cash for serbia and kosovo . i hope , mr president , i shall end with this , which will be cut in spite of everything lines of the budget to eur 50 million to finance the peace agreement between israel and the plo . therefore , from the european parliament will propose new measures , not addressed both to seek new funding - we already know that there will not be able to establish new interinstitutional commitments to improve the quality of expenditure and ensure that it is not a euro . desperdicie in current conditions ejecutar- ; just think in european policy , as with any other area , sometimes options temperate cease to be mainstream . it is designed to obscure rather than to clarify and disappointed by the attitude adopted today about the budgeting according to the activities . however , the expenditure to be distributed according to a greater extent how the budget is seen as a political instrument where the distribution of costs reflects some clear political priorities . activities , also raises and then find a solution for next year and next year , once again , we do not also have to go through this discussion on how to find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . multi-year so that stakeholders on developing a sustainable have to know that the basic thrust of the recent reform agreed in berlin is a step continuous 's support for products to direct support to the farmers ' incomes . non-agricultural ladies and gentlemen , a budget is always more than a cold-start calculation of figures . finally , it is immoral , mr president , cutting expenditure for the common agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the excluded social , and then try to ensure the resources to finance the obligations of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . it is very simple : this winter serbs cannot laughing all the frio or of hunger . moreover , i would like to express my concern about the fact that the various national parliaments of young people have been included in the socrates programme . naturally , we must also say very clearly to the council that he also concern you share of responsibility when it comes to the development of poor many programmes belonging to the heading of external actions . we need solutions stable in surrounding these subsidies , and a greater extent , for the long-term planning which is needed in the western balkans . i believe that the majority is prepared to accept that , on condition that these resources are being used in an appropriate way . i share the rapporteur , mrs rühle preoccupations and criteria which you mentioned this afternoon in relation to the chapters of research and the breadline . two weeks ago , we welcome the acp-eu joint parliamentary assembly . at the same time , we demand that the research fund and information equip itself with budgetary resources allocated to the study of alternative products for the existing growers of tobacco . i want to be made very clear that , with regard to northern ireland is concerned , the european union europeaha had its influence more direct and positive conceivable . in this model respect for international rules and procedures is guaranteed by an independent authority and , ultimately , so judges . in this way will be made for the first time in a codecision procedure at first reading on a text that is extremely complex and full of technical difficulties associated with a sector specially sensitive to the protection of individual freedoms . it is very gratifying that nothing has been restraints their respective roles . we know that , for example the schengen system has more than 10 million sheets which affect approximately one and a half million people , that europol is looking at how extend its powers , the information from various services within the fifteen member states , and that under the exclusive control of a authority whose power and media are not posts at its disposal to enable it to fulfil truly another task . endlessly centraliza police stored that said , i would like to say that it would appear appropriate concerned not only for the protection of citizens in the face of new technologies , but also in the face of using them to promote the capacity of the european citizen in order to act and to interact vis-à-vis the european institutions . presence of commissioner amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 , 10 , 12 , 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 and 60 to 64 articulates the text of the council for those areas in which the commission can give its assent . numbered as clearly , then that its opinion on the legislative proposals relating to the protection of personal data will be particularly considerate insofar as it constitutes an important contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions . the treaty concedes to an economic and social situation , aggravated by the obstacles to the permanence and the interaction cause severe damage to the development of these regions . indeed outermost regions difficult particularist among this will contribute to the promotion of economic and social progress through a high level of employment . therefore , i congratulate mrs mrs sudre and look forward to the development of the commission 's proposals to that can be taken into account characteristics , as planned in article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . rule-based soon for many europeans some outermost regions are nothing more than a tourist destination on the map . our rates of unemployment are among the highest in the european union . i am delighted that the commission has adopted by a broad majority amendments i tabled . in my opinion , it is very important that the outermost regions are integrated into the trans-european transport , energy and telecommunications . the adoption of the members of the committee on regional policy of the report presented by our colleague mrs sudre margie represents fidelity of the european parliament to one of its most important commitments . unanimously we cannot discuss a whole series of circumstances and believing that , reached that point apt and idyllic overstating it will no longer be necessary to take further measures in the treatment of these three areas and especially of ultraperipheral regions on the basis of which we are discussing today . -denominémoslo ; this article does not allow us to do everything , but we can strengthen and i believe it necessary to extend and improve our action . ladies and gentlemen for the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , the commission obviously collaborating with the member states and regions in question . we know that there are difficulties persistent and i think , therefore , objectively speaking , according to its real level of development , which will need for a long time to support by the regional policy measures . particularist in these regions a meeting of this kind could ushered again over the year 2001 , when we farther advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . the presidency stated settled the matter and i accept in full . i believe that parliament is right in stick to current provisions , because , as member said , it is not a malfunction of voting machines , rather than members to vote , and if we could correcting a vote , it would be a problem of never finish . forgotten are often there is no doubt that lover what they like . in short , commissioner , in addition to the budgetary authority , it is necessary that the commission services responsible , in cooperation and coordination with member states , establishing a system of controls homogenous and effective throughout the food chain and that the network of laboratories food from the european union is assists and work in a coordinated fashion with the commission . in order to prevent them scientific research is repeated it requires the cooperation with national research centres and community . today we are discussing a white paper , and we should define certain general principles . these procedures have been genetically altered and now we have our own food standards agency " . hiccup and finally , i also support amendments nos 11 and 13 until 9 , and we want a free vote on amendment no 14 . some of the new , without doubt , until 7 i would firstly like to stress that it will be guarantees of food safety depends on the solidity of inspections carried out by the authorities , and let us not forget that the degree of soundness of the same determined by the weakest link in the light of this difference . discussing an issue which will demonstrate the superficial and the vacuidad 's debate that applied to political union of europe . trust , therefore , the european food safety authority solely on scientific expertise , in conjunction with our national agencies . if we follow the traces of the progress of the main communicable diseases originating from food affecting europe at present , the majority of them did your first appearance in the americas . however , we must determine the conditions for convening the authority of the way to ensure a rapid and efficient action . we must also point out , as some of the previous speakers , especially mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is much more than any new labour regulator of the union . mr president , today , i feel happy and thank the commission , because it has started to work to improve food safety , as mr bowis and all of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . i think that amendment no 17 is particularly interesting . it states that there is consultation with consumer organisations . another aspect is the revision of the labelling provisions for sale by more than that in terms traceability of products and their components , offers a sound consumer information and permitting cleanse possible responsibilities in the case of risk or of crisis . bodily both to retail as in my opinion , the adoption of a new legislation does not provide an adequate response to complying with existing legislation . thanks to the vote on the environment committee , we managed to restore some balance including within the scope of problems associated with the nutrition and some important references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the protection of the various food customs . mr president , may i add my voice to those of other colleagues who have congratulated the rapporteur , mr bowis , for having approached this particular problem in a constructive and logic . mr president , that the white paper on food safety itself is not a legislative nature not impair the dual value which certainly possesses . magazine the rapporteur , but also many meps belonging to the commission , including myself , have placed the emphasis on food safety authority and , indeed , this is detrimental to some extent . integrity and independence of this agency priceless with better guarantees the security of european consumers . throughout this process have always thought that we have repeatedly lucky to dual-track system to the rapporteur 's report . mr president , i too should like to congratulate my colleague mr bowis for the considerable efforts to include all the points of view in his report and principally by accepting rely on the overall concept of nutrition . after all , mr president , the policy cannot side-step their responsibility . and what is most important of all , earn respect for their peer , public and the willingness of the governments of member states to accept its findings . that is how i see a food authority for the future . we have the world health organisation in geneva . no secret that when we issued a white paper i talked against this authority . therefore , we must ensure that the european union arm of the highest possible standards of food safety , despite the fact that this approach - shared unanimously - must also look at the consequences that implies , from an economic point of view , a need productively . tasks will be the following : independent scientific advice , controls and inspections , independent of the rapid alert system and also coordination in order to restore confidence . enquiry , as acotación aside , i can say to those speakers who have spoken about the need for flexibility in relation to the production of specialities culinary local communities and of typical products , that this issue is already covered in the legislation on food hygiene . this will facilitate the task of the commission on the presentation of a balanced proposal which takes account of the greatest possible number of the views of parliament and the many interested in the field of food safety . rather , in the past , this problem was one of the driving forces behind that , politically speaking , presupposes the signature of the ottawa convention . i reiterate my position opposes amendments nos 10 , 13 and 19 for coherence and , as regards amendment no 29 , entreat the split vote to achieve better formulation of the entire text which i think has suffered any lack of interpretation . budget and here is the first point : the need for the european union , in particular the commission will do its utmost to non-european countries signatory to come to sign the ottawa convention . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what the consequences have antipersonnel mines in spite of that in isolated cases frequently high-value-added large justifications military . it was parliament that proposed for the first time , in 1996 , the creation of a budget line horizontal and an appropriate legal basis which operating a unique platform for the wide range of measures which pursues in this important area . although i cannot conceal the fact that , obviously , the powers of persuasion of the union aimed at achieving this objective is limited to some extent by the difficulties that prevail in some member states to sign and ratify the convention . corps the effectiveness of the mine action will be greater if it has been produced in accordance with the specific conditions for each situation . as parliament knows , there are already too many , as parliament knows , with our proposals on reform of the community assistance to third countries hoping to desisting from the heavy solo supervision of each project and focus on the other hand , however , in our negotiations with the member states on strategies and programmes . all-encompassing ; ngos have been spreading in response to the need , however , when it is nearly four years since the first conference of the united nations conference on landmines and over a year since the entry into force of the ottawa , we are obliged to recognise that many countries and thousands of people , mostly in the world 's poorest regions , are still suffering from the terrible consequences of antipersonnel landmines and munitions . detonar without and held in geneva the commission should improve the quality of their programmes as well as the speed with which implements them . i think , however , that if you re-consulted this matter serious thought it would be aware that some of them - at least in my opinion relate to awareness-raising campaigns prior , with transparency , with the access of ngos , with things which work well at the moment , but that could function better . you are right that the council and parliament must keep your hands lejos de administration and listened very carefully the comments of mr patten on this point , because it is apparently thinks that we must maintain our hands still further . patten also mr president , our group has proved to be active in the whole range of actions required , since the interruption of production , destruction of stocks , cessation of the clearing of mines , rehabilitation of victims , and awareness-raising . commercialisation , camps for a long time grievances and then incumbent upon the member states support the process in international forums . mines naturally represent a major obstacle for reconstruction in these countries as well as for the return of refugees . at the rate of disposal which will take haul - as has been said previously - rather more than 100 years in cleaning up the planet 's anti-personnel mines . a third area i see it in concrete measures which ought to propose , to examine and applied . we can salvage from death by mines or of horrendous injuries in bosnia , africa or in another place deserves the efforts of all of us . every child we must indeed , to put pressure on the european union countries which have signed , such as finland , or which have ratified it , such as greece . ladies and gentlemen , do you look at finland ! and finally , we hope that in the context of the future tasks of the european proceed to the formation of technicians , especially for people who are interested in the elimination of anti-personnel mines at local level . common military force nor does it stresses that the list of countries most severely infected realizes , essentially , countries of the developing world . parliament 's proposals could not be more inconsistent with the lisbon objectives . the rapporteur van lancker wants parliament to decide on the amendment to the commission 's proposal , mainly by adding a number of areas in which it is appropriate to legislate and imposing certain rights at european level . for example , we want to extend the luxembourg process , which applies to employment policy , also to the protection and social exclusion . the most important issues , such as germany , france , great britain and italy , to put its domination by the small countries of eastern and southern countries applying for membership of the european union . extent , we are agreed on powerhouses however , for legal reasons , we consider it wrong to make a reference to the same rule 6 of the eu 's treaty because in the convention - according to their estructura- cannot be agreed formally , so that there is no legal basis . anchor now on . the inclusion of the new text in the treaties could lead to legal confusion . furthermore , the rapporteur is echoes of the new theory of vogue in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union 's citizens , represented by the european parliament , and the united states , represented by the council . : the swedish and danish social democrats have today voted against the report presented by oliver duhamel on the constitutionalisation of the treaties . for that reason it is essential that the european union will have a constitution which includes the charter of fundamental rights . a constitution only makes sense if we see the democratic framework of a genuine european federation , the united states of europe . told us having believed estimation , according to a large part of the political class , that we would prefer to our international relations are rigieran by an international treaty . . ( it ) i welcome mr duhamel because it makes a useful and constructive contribution to the idea of the constitutionalisation of the treaties . we believe that a reorganization of the treaties and their simplification would enable people to do with the competence of the eu and its limits - and the procedures to exercise these powers . clarity - until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe was a supersindicato intergovernmental . the edd group voted against the report presented by josé maría gil-robles gil-delgado on enhanced cooperation . this report shows , in fact , the concept of a union , where all the partnerships should be expressed within the single institutional framework and all should be directed towards the goal of super-state . muy monolithic " " where it is therefore necessary to avoid reducing the launch of the package and , therefore , to allow some member states to move , developing the mechanism of closer cooperation . structures for which govern the operation of the internal market have been coronadas by success since the beginning of the 1990s . . ( nl ) the european cooperation can be useful for resolving cross-border problems . wetlands could pose a formidable laboratory in terms of sustainable development . the technocrats , european judges , have sought to delete that " the rate of quay ' , which seeks to our municipalities of the french overseas departments and , above all , protects our craftsmen . resources france , on your side , owns overseas departments of the indian ocean and the caribbean . its independence will be an essential element for the credibility of this body . our vote has been clarified , therefore , the role of the composition of the future european food authority , but also described our demands on their funding and its independence . secondly , the european agency to be completely independent . we must take account of the kind of agricultural methods and agro-industrial , the problem of imports of food , the composition of the ingredients in animal feed , maximum levels for pesticide residues in food additives and other technical , giving priority to food safety . dioxins and of goods we voted in favour of amendment no 15 , since we are defending vigorously the defence of europe 's cultural heritage linked to the local food production . i would like to make two requests . evocations , to my colleagues in the committee on agriculture who tabled around 30 amendments . we also want placing a 50 % of appropriations in the budget line and another 50 % in reserve . i note here that there are proposals to reduce the budget . report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the draft general budget of the european union for the year 2001 - section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) madam president , my name appears as signatory of several amendments to this report . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) the real astonishment from this budget relates to external actions which dominates the selfishness and meanness . it is also possible resources available through the use of instruments for flexibility . . ( el ) i voted against the haug report , the same way i voted in favour of my group 's proposal to reject the budget for 2001 . we refer in particular to the new pilot project which originate from prosecution information in terms of combating paedophilia . this surely demonstrates the poor motivation which invokes the project of european union , even amongst the citizens politically active . in this way , a 20 to 30 % of the markets will provide a new competition with private . given that this is not guaranteed through this report , i voted against it ; with the unacceptably low thresholds , which diezman subsidies - in combination with the ceiling of withdrawals at 5 % for the citrus fruits and vegetables , which is pudrirán in camps and in the dealerships of cooperatives , there is no chance of market , with the consequent reduction in prices . this gives farmers will be forced to grubbing-up of their crops . 8.5 % for apples and pears , and to 10 % for the rest of fruit and hortalizas- , makes it clear that , for huge quantities of converted at national reductions proposed general irremisiblemente i voted in favour of this report , because it is up to the expectations of the sector , which have a modification of the com in fruit and products hortícolas by him profoundly lesiva for national interests . organisations portuguese hortofrutícula reminded us drastic report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) the root of the problem lies in the sacrifice of everything , even in the quality of environmental and climate protection , on the altar of capitalist exploitation of productive resources and of the obtaining of maximum profits . in kyoto , it was agreed that the richer countries undertook to maintain its clean air , although it may also registering of limited form in their own emissions produced in other parts that have helped to reduce list of results . . ( fr ) in combating the greenhouse effect is an element of vital importance for industrialised countries , and especially a duty towards the peoples of the third world that have already paid with their lives consequences of global warming . the art of live consists of convivir sensibly with these risks and uncertainties . they must be guaranteed and encouragement efforts to establish exactly what sort of substances suspected of being endocrine disrupters - to e . the same way . the consumers and smes are not sufficiently benefiting from the internal market , which is complemented by introducing the euro . after all , the banks are forced to date by the member states to inform its central bank cross-border payments which exceed eur 12 500 , with a view to the statistics relating to the balance of payments . of course , it calls on the same stringent prudential standards in the area of economic and money-laundering . these firms we know cases in which the charges for cross-border transfers have increased after the introduction of the euro , and not just in a smaller-scale . even the european central bank could contribute applying a format of data unified european in payment transactions , as well as for the use of a identification code banking unitary at european level within the international system iban . it is crucial that consumers will accept the euro . madam president , the report by mrs peijs , relating to payments of little value in the internal market , incorporates the former vindication of the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border transfers within the union . the peijs report what it says in recital d of the draft resolution . it will quote : " the high level of expenditure in connection with cross-border transfers are harmful to restore consumer confidence in the euro ' . so we have a great deal still needs to be done in this area , but the resources and means with which we politicians in this respect are much smaller than the existing in connection with this issue of payments in the internal market . the euro will constitute an internal market , and the citizen does not mean that , in this area in which the risks of change and the means of payment via the internet , will be utilised to everyday life , a transfer from munich to salzburg becomes much more costly than a transfer from munich to kiel . electronic banking market in the future disappearing the realization of this objective we will still have many years of work for us and for you . it is on that occasion too , we will check the objective of reducing the deadline for cross-border transfers , issue on which it has been stressed in the report by mrs peijs . effecting the debate is closed . however seems a good policy on preferring a pragmatic approach and that puts the small business at the heart of the device , more than a proposal which , under the pretext of prevent small steps desultory , only serve to create statistics whose use concretely would be entirely impossible . proximity however , i would like to make three comments on this programme . let us remember that the first programme of community action in this area was adopted in 1983 , i.e. for 17 years . similarly , i have always been in favour of this to be supported in a policy efficiently and pragmatic . i would say that they are real economic commandos and innovation , in the front line and are exposed to risks that this entails . after all we must bear in mind the results of the work of the symposium " and " which took place last week in brussels under the aegis of the centre of technology foresight in seville , as well as the monitoring of this symposium , since there are many interference with the issue we are discussing today . sciences government the rapporteur lists a number of priorities in order to strengthen the european business climate . this is very convenient for europe , because it can provide help speedily , appropriate and technically correct . mr president , i too would like to echo the congratulations she has received the mrs montfort on his excellent work . it is important to strike the right balance , to avoid a situation continual of people who fail to expense of others . this is not fair and , therefore , support this report . this is also the guiding principle behind the charter for small businesses . the programme will do everything necessary to ensure that networks offer this information . it is obvious that fundamental objective of the plan is to limit the exodus towards countries of the european union , as well as repatriate to few people staying illegally in the european union . i stress the need to take measures aimed at improving the internal security , the reinforcement of the dialogue between europeans and local authorities , and , with regard to the commission and council , the impulse of specific actions in collaboration with the albanian authorities italian and hellenic . albanian particularly the situation in social , economic and social policy in combination with the disrespect or with the inadequate legal certainty and organised crime lead uncontrolled migration massive . deficient mr president , i disagree with mrs pack , i think that the more groups will deal with albania better . it is clear that it is not possible to find an immediate solution to all of this problem , but in a period not very long , it will create a world reasonably fair , safe and with prospects . there is also a chasm between donors , all of us in europe , the united states , we give money , formulate projects and similar issues , and the same people who is on the ground . let us be clear and legal proceedings , time and place of residence , the salary , 11.30 p.m. , working conditions and social security , so that they can force the service of the economies of our countries and to help friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to grow and nationalist aspirations of the time of the cold war . therefore , bilateral agreements so setting itself as a immigrants it repatría people who have been integrated fashion . the point of modes of curb the influx of migrants and refugees , but how to improve the living conditions of the region so that people can remain in their homes . attention must not lie in mr president , i too believe that , as has rightly been said by mr dimitrakopoulos , with regard to the difficulties of albania - economic , social and internal security - the subject of help this country to restore the rule of law , to give security to the citizens and to restore the authority of the institutions and the local authorities . remains fundamental i share the opinion of the fellow-commissioner mr liese that we need a burden sharing in the field of asylum and refugee policy . the action plan for albania and the neighbouring region was adopted in june this year , and it is therefore the sixth of the series . it imposes a frustration , but also the surprise before the european union law , and we want to appeal to this parliament , but also to the other european institutions , not to shrink back to the efforts of the thorough work , accurately and made available for this time is needed and assistants are needed . attaching to ratos with this report we want to send a message that we take seriously the complaints about the poor quality of legislation and on the suprarregionalización and centralization . citizens it is in itself a matter of course , although one would not say so judging by the clinging assistance to discuss in more detail on this issue . pretty important ; another issue milligrammes of vital importance is that the report raises the question of subsidiarity , which to some extent it is polemic this evening in this house . it would also be interesting to see them a study of the current situation of the legislation in light of this principle , to make it simpler , more transparent , more efficient and more germane , deshaciéndose of texts , as you urges that paragraph 6 of this report . superfluous after having studied the report in great detail , i have reached the conclusion that it is not even a political principle : it is a principle theological . in other words , we must ensure recognition of the principle of subsidiarity also communities are smaller , realities of the autonomous communities , to the social partners , to the families and citizens who are the only real sovereign an action legislative and administrative . cores intermediate , cores allow me , therefore , provide an overview of synthesis . i shall give the floor to mr monti . this is an area where we have to intervene and produce a detailed legislation which ensures that it must be regarded as a voluntary agreement which will be implemented and monitored ? implantará everywhere , or alternative ? - ( de ) i voted in favour of the report , although i did not secured the adoption of amendments , because it concerns the issue of the high cost of change and of transfers in the euro zone when fifteen months we have , indeed , the same coins and notes in the eleven member states , it will be more expensive to draw this money uniform outside the country in which they live . inside mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must start by regretting that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , cannot be here today . it must be an agreement which advancing cooperation in fisheries and the moroccan fishing sector , but we also fully meets the fishing interests of european fleets . consequently , we have reached a consensus to work from the perspective of a cooperated responsibly , after which morocco setting out its views at a meeting which , as you pointed out , will be held in brussels on 30 october , in other words , monday . a few weeks ago , i myself was in algeciras , in the coastline southeastern spaniard . it is very far away from morocco . the time , in its mercy , we enseñó that apart from un-user-friendly could become impossible . scientifically-researched fisheries agreements the eu can exert fishing activities and exchange fishing rights with third countries . i read in a magazine swedish-language specialized in fishing that one of these ships landed their burden on the aaiún , described as a port moroccan . all this is at stake are under threat in all our fisheries agreements , not only with morocco because they are also mauritania and very soon , among others . guinea . eleven months has been late in arriving at the turning point on which we , the meeting of the day , in this respect , we also know estimating the latest measures taken by commissioner fischler , the results of the last day 26 to morocco and the interviewing of high-level illustrated , even with the actual king . 30 and its journey but i would like to convey to the commission , worthily represented today by commissioner busquin , messages very brief . my question to the commission is : if we do not get an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is being held in those terms , an agreement to stimulate production moroccan , does the commission intend to take structural measures to compensate for the delay which will happen in the regions affected ? highlighted by the commission as did the difficulties in negotiation with the moroccan authorities have been extremely large . - finally , in the event that the negotiations fail , the european union has the political and moral duty to support the fishermen and the owners with aid satisfactory that they insured means of subsistence . undesired we must dismantle the over-capacity of the fishing industry of the eu . that is why we need as quickly as possible tighten economic and political relations with marruecossin disservice to the imposition of our european interests in fisheries . that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new cooperation aimed at a development which is of interest to both sides and allow the one hand , integral development of the moroccan fishing sector , the fleet , aquaculture , processing and research , and on the other hand , the granting of fishing opportunities for european fishermen . bundling disenfranchisement of teachers of languages " not only in germany there is a clear distinction between both formulations . in july 1999 , the commission drove this infringement proceedings before the court of justice . therefore , at least that can be achieved harmonize systems - something we cannot allow it to be done through the discrimination that , in all likelihood , is the request for a privilege . we hope - today , the principle of subsidiarity perhaps we can accept that the outgoing commission under the leadership of mr santer were not the best , that is why it is disbanded . members of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market and all the parties have to say that it does not talk about human rights , whether in cases in which he is refusing to certain persons are not effective action taken to be recognised and applied , and this is the problem in this case . juridicos across the union concentrated , support letters of real rights this is completely unacceptable in a modern europe . of course , especially , because i come from a federal state - the subsidiarity principle of cooperation in the european union and to which the distribution of competences between the different levels of europe is orderly according to the subsidiarity principle in the field of education falls within the subsidiarity principle , but in the context of contracts , freedom of movement of workers and the prohibition on discrimination us concern to everyone , even though we favourable - and i should like computer princio as quickly as possible . in this context , can no longer talk about discrimination . mr president , do you would be dealt with by a very familiar with the terms in english , french , german or italian , surgical by a surgeon ? ( the sitting was closed at 11.30 p.m. ) 10.56 . we want you our deepest sympathy . i give the floor to mr ceyhun , which is expressed in my capacity as rapporteur , on behalf of the socialists . when it comes to the council and commission statements on the third asiaeurope meeting , the council has informed us that it wishes to speak at the moment . therefore , is an issue which - according to the treaties and , according to the euratom treaty , is the responsibility of the commission ; it affects , or can affect many citizens who are not alone in this area and in their area , without there being any contingency plan , there are hundreds of thousands of europeans corners of the fifteen countries of the european union , apart from many coming from outside , because it is the coast of sunshine . spaniards because , on madam president , it is unfortunate , but very illustrative deaf via the minister for internal spanish , mr oreja , that there is no chance of dialogue with basque nationalists , even if in future arose a new truce . biggest i request that we take account of this week a affirmation of the committee on the british government 's decision to introduce a tribute to discriminatory nature to hauliers from nationality does not british . as liberals , we europeans are tending increasingly to aligning with forces of uninspired racist , xenophobic , despotic , i think this is a serious risk not only for italy , but is a sign that affects the whole of europe . parties so-called even however , in the report also contains critical observations with regard to the french proposal . these demands are contained in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the report by mrs karamanou . the initiative of the french presidency that we are examining today is aimed at improving the two general conventions on mutual assistance in criminal matters - i have just mentioned - especially in the area of combating money laundering . i can only say that if the idea of the fight against money laundering is adversely , will the council and not the fault of the european parliament . we can only congratulate you on this work . marinho - and i also agree - the path is the communitarised . all those who have spoken coincide on suggestion is invaluable and we support his comments . what we need is urged to give europol operational capacity for action to cross-border cooperation . it is too long in europe should therefore lend my support to a furor of mutual recognition of judgments , i would like existed a recognition of a joint standards outdated . cases joint-action our present before hurried . i understand that it is very difficult because here we must build on the basis of a dispersal of instruments . but it is also a need in order to strengthen the economic area of the european union , and it is also a desire for citizens , to whom we have to reflect , because the citizens of the union have a right to security . in the european union , we must continue to fight against money laundering , knowing that , especially after the introduction of the single market and the liberalization of capital and financial services , it imposes a police and judicial cooperation between member states , as efficient as possible . decisively pursuing an firmly-established as consultant for financial authorizing anything to suppose that the lawyer , as such , is not exercising their profession . similarly , i would like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the question raised by a number of honourable members about the conditions in which the confidentiality of the legal professions may constitute a repudiations based on cooperation in the field of justice in the fight against money laundering . this is true , particularly in the event of serious crimes , crimes of the special seriousness and the cross-border issues . overall , the task is so great and so important that cannot be played solely by the council . so we need to strengthen the rights of citizens adopting an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly with regard to its right of interpretation and its power to decide whether or not . therefore , while am able to express my support for increased cooperation and coordination , i believe that make it a legal system would be wrong , and we will oppose it . the second point is also interesting . this is something positive and it is pleasing to note that it has both support in this parliament . i will use this as several members raised issues very sensitive to tell you quite frankly , as has just pointed out by mr coelho , which seems to be a first step which shows the political will of the council of overcoming the delay in the field of judicial cooperation , with regard to police cooperation . oportunidad- this initiative foremost for which we regard it as well as an important instrument for guaranteeing the judicial supervision of europol . the programme on research in the area of fisheries , agriculture and the agro-industria sat on the fourth framework programme on research should be widened from 1994 to 1998 . fair ; with regard to the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that we have established some problems which relate to the organisation of the programme . the court of auditors ' report on the programme , which is based on the report by the rapporteur will not be issued until march this year , although the letters of sector was sent to the commission in december 1998 and february 199
