we know very well that the current treaties are not enough and that it will be necessary in future to develop a structure more efficient and different for the european union , a structure which clearly indicates what are the competence of member states and what are the powers of the european union . longer constitutional 
messages of anxiety , firstly prefix the economic and social problems that we are experiencing , despite the sustained statesmanship many years of effort on the part of all our citizens . 
the current situation , particularly unbearable for many companies of transport and independent for agriculture , must be improved . 
reaching an agreement concerning processes is a good thing in itself , but we must ensure that this system does not serve the striking force policy . viel 
they also have to present a clear vision of the rights they must comply . 
i agree with her warn against the return , which tries to some of the intergovernmental methods . 
we are very much to wanting a federation of nation states . 
the rapporteurs have stressed the need for quality discussion and also the need to go further : of course , i am unable to join . 
i also thank all those who kindly accused of not having made this speech earlier on , i would reply that before the pronounce a speech , we must learn , learn , evaluate the forces , because the political rhetoric must always be realistic and closer to reality and the objectives we set ourselves . aforementioned . 
i would like to collision course of this closer cooperation in order to give some examples of the new potential over-secretive . 
the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . 
the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . 
i am voting in favour of the draft regulation . 
the reports of the european court of auditors does not stop are to meet these sous-estimations , from greece and portugal . 
accordingly , we have not voted for this report . 
according to the sponsors of these buses , these are not only cheaper and can be used throughout the world , but they are also greenest because their fuel consumption per passenger is smallest . 
the role of the ' benchmarking ' in dissemination of good practice across the eu is also emphasized . 
a binding charter and overall , detailing the rights that we absolutely must be respected , likely to cause difficulties at a later stage . 
i want to thank both rapporteurs for their tremendous commitment . 
however , we do not believe that this dialogue can already be concluded in nice in less than three months , and this alone is enough to explain our refusal to accept the proposal to incorporate the charter into the treaties at the summit in nice . 
the csu european parliament welcomes the fact that the draft charter of fundamental rights and fundamental rights are available to the citizens of organs and institutions of the eu . unites hordes visible 
it is the image of liberal europe which is built . 
indeed , i would have liked to have a freezing of this charter so that we can continue to work , as proposed by the amount of non-governmental organisations of various countries of the european union . 
( a5-0248 / 00 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ) ; 
i would therefore also propose that parliament presents no longer , next year 's general report confines itself to national reports to show that we attach to a continuation of the negotiations . gender-specific , but 
it seems to me that , on the basis of the work that has been undertaken by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be able , at least i hope will be given at the nice european council , a fairly accurate sight of the accession process . subsequently 
i have said and i have no difficulty in repeat here , the french presidency will not éludera any problems which arise , which does not mean , of course , that we shall have time and resources to deal with each of them . 
this question is , of course , perfectly legitimate , but we must respond to properly and carefully . 
enlargement is a broad perspective that we must deal with a lot of generosity and vision . 
all the results of the intergovernmental conference fail to the gigantic pressure that exerts enlargement in terms of adjustment . 
the second major change which we are seeing and which europe must adapt to the acceleration of the economic development towards a global market and competition . worldwide is foudroyante 
fourthly , it follows from this principle is that the member states who began at the latest processes have a luck catching up to those who have started sooner . 
in areas where large investments and long-term are required to reach the standards of the eu , we should bear in mind that the current member availed themselves in such cases , oversubscribed with long transition periods . 
in terms of security of external borders and the fight against crime intervening also our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . 
looking at trade relations that there are currently between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . 
i was glad that commissioner finally beginning to talk about alerting the public to tell him that the fears which have been mentioned did not raison d ' être . 
but one thing is clear - and i welcome mr verheugen , has once again underlined : there can be transition period for respect for democratic rules . 
on this point , we need the support of the commission , because even if the will is there , the munitions are sometimes lacking . 
it is essential to us , as the european union , we setting targets for carrying out our own reformes in-house . 
however , we do not agree with some aspects and crucial questions . 
this is detrimental to the european union , its future independent compared with north america and also to a common defence and security policy , the european given that this will create risks with russia and other countries . 
we hope that there will be results and that it does not refer to another intergovernmental conference which must be made to ensure that enlargement takes place . 
i shall be brief , as i have already been , since i have given three minutes ' speaking time by during my first speech . 
it is very important and , at this point of view , i am pleased that the commission is working towards an information campaign that commissioner verheugen wants to both large and decentralised . 
but - and this will be my last word , because i want to make myself quite clear : i am not a pessimistic in this regard , i do not play ' small arms " , i want a strong towards the enlargement - to be credible , we must also be taken seriously , we must also be understood , we must also be able to reap the accession of the peoples of the peoples of the applicant countries as our peoples . option 
at the moment , i cannot see any need to discuss the financial perspectives with regard to enlargement . 
i cannot say one thing in connection with any of them ! 
it is also for the same reason that they have also expressed the view of joining the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . 
i am entrusted with the work of the rapporteur said about estonia . 
as a member of the swedish moderate party , i am extremely thrifty when it comes to taxpayers ' money . 
only then , it seems to me , you could get an idea of what the latvians have done over recent years . 
that is not enough ; the whole of the strategy must be more looking towards the citizens . 
lithuania has a potential usage of sustainable economic growth . 
in the widest sense , it affects the eu 's cooperation with the russian federation . 
i turn now to another weak point : the support of the public to , within and outside the european union . 
by following a fiscal policy intelligent , and foreign direct investment is period 1990-1994 , last year , with over 5,45 billion euros . 
we should not have meddle , above all we do not others , germans ! 
democracy slovak develops manner stable , what has not always been the case . 
i am proposing in this speech to stress and reiterate the six aspects of the evolving situation hungarian which deserve to be highlighted in the prospect of membership of the european union . 
i am pleased that this issue was envisaged in the general report on enlargement presented by mr brok . 
it is also and especially the case in the nuclear sector , where the legitimate concerns about nuclear safety and environmental risk being exploited by ewl anti-nucléaire . 
the formation of a high level is a measure i commend it to my colleagues . 
the report that i have the honour of presenting to you subjecting and which has also been adopted unanimously in committee , notes that the part of the territory controlled by the palestinian authority statutory fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . 
to this end , play a key returns , without prejudice obviously 's own role in the commission , in our special representative for the cfsp , javier solana . 
however , the main problem facing malta must face is that the government and opposition deem differently from the accession process and that the european union is committed to the fluidity of this process . 
even between america and mexico , levels are closest . that is why we are discussing , in the field of internal market , for a well thought-out strategy , flexible and to the extent of the challenge . 
but let me also to be allowed to express my respect for the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe which worldcom courage , ten years ago , to take to the streets and who have contributed to moving this process . 
the information society is important for industry , old or new . 
nor can we allow ourselves éblouir by the percentages of community law transposed into national legislation . 
but the ten new countries of eastern europe did not have such uncle of america . 
this also applies , and that is degrading for the transport of live animals verses slaughterhouses . 
in all legislation majeure , we are now imposing on an assessment of impact on health . 
my report for opinion must also speak of the european union and stress that the funds for regional development cannot continue to be spent on the basis of a simple accounting share-out between regions . 
elmar brok began in his speech by pointing out that we will all benefit from enlargement , especially those of us we stand on this side of the external border present . rightly 
the development of waterways inner will be essential for ecological reasons , because we must remove quantities of goods by road , and if we cannot transporting them on railways , we must use the waterways . 
it has also referred to selfishness and even populism , and the reduction in the course of the euro has not certainly helped to improve things . 
the message we want to convey to the candidate countries is as follows : ' you do not let mislead by the scale of the reports and documents which lie ahead of you . 
unfortunately , the moment there are too many parties who have lost their ideology and which testify to sketch idealism inadequate and a materialism overpowering . 
if we need to defer the right to acquisition of land and dwellings to use family , différons-le . 
it is up to now , but it is certainly threatened by a lack of transparency unbureaucratic and resistance manifesto , albeit not public , of certain governments . 
where are , moreover , the millions of jobs promised by the maastricht treaty ? 
while we are in the process of revising the treaties , some member states are crying out for a new reform . 
the vast majority of inquires international agreement on this subject contributor state of gains on the scale macroeconomic , linked to enlargement . 
however , exception of minorities tiny , any political group cannot brings into question the main objective of the political slovene , which is to join as soon as possible in the european union . 
if the eu is enlarged rapidly , should the dismantle sharply as it is proposed in the position on the enlargement of the eldr group . 
in my view , it is clear that the regime institutional prescribes has plethora of long-term consequences on the health of orphans . 
i therefore ask you to support the proposals for amendments along these lines . 
and we even , european politicians , do not understand quite well the negotiation process . 
cyprus will become a bridge towards the countries of the region . 
i wish negotiators continuation of the success of their work in this important area . 
a second form of communication is also essential between our countries and with regard to the candidate countries in order to tell them what is the european union . 
we cannot afford to lose even more of the elk existed in the early 1990s . 
mr president , firstly , as a socialist rapporteur for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent work . 
it is for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , we live up to this challenge , too , compared with the fears of our own publicly-expressed opinions , and regain breathtaking , ambition and the vision of the founding fathers of europe . 
i have the impression that , despite all the fine words and the numerous chapters that the council has examined the suitably implemented , this enlargement process is not driven by the energy policy . necessary or supported or unfortunately 
many of the european union countries have broached similar problems at one time or another in their development and can adviser bulgaria in order to help overcome whom it should presently face . 
democracy is not just a question of majorities , it is also a question of codecision lengths of minorities . 
the applicant countries must be found on an equal footing and their accession should not depend solely on their own development . 
at the same time , we should acknowledge the efforts made by countries such as lithuania which still catching , so to speak , the lost time . 
we therefore interest to extend our system of rights and freedoms as far as romania and this is an argument to assert within the framework of the debate critical dialogue with the european public opinion . 
however , there is a question around which the rallying happens - namely that of enlargement . 
my group therefore supports the limiting of transition periods in relation to the environment to a maximum of five years . 
mr president , we must give a boost positive to enlargement . 
the debate remains open certainly with regard to the order in which these countries will join , because it will also examine the progress made on their internal reforms . 
i welcome the very positive report on slovenia and the considerable efforts undertaken by these countries to meet the copenhagen criteria . as the head of delegation , i was able to account of repeatedly , just as the commissioner . 
in my opinion , the proposal is worthy of consideration . 
these forms of violence and exploitation of women must be right now convicted and combated by all means , both within the eu than in the accession countries . 
in conclusion , i would like to take this opportunity to join number of fellow members , which i share the thoughts and concerns , and emphasise the need to examine the question of the borders of europe and , subsequently , the scope of its enlargement , and the opportunity for parliament to draw up a special report on this subject . lastly attentively by 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
we happens from time to time recalling , rightly , in this chamber , that a europe of citizens must be a europe in which community legislation protecting their rights as appropriate . 
i put the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . 
we know that these substances and products undesirable substances in the toxicity violent , but it is a matter of substances which piling up within the body which would have a long life , such as dioxin , the aflatoxines and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . are very rarely long-term life-span of 
it is not possible to regain the guilty parties . 
if we allow this dilution , we must at least notify the commission services and supervision must be put on record that these dilutions exist because this problem must be made public and to the subject of a public debate . 
i should highlight one thing : the dioxin crisis has been the result of criminal acts runs counter to the existing regulations . 
mr president , i thank those members who spoke before me . 
it was a pressing need . 
for example , for fishmeal , the limit value is different from what is proposed for products of animal origin non maritime safety . 
it is time to break with a false interpretation of subsidiarity , which seeks to further every day enhance the tutelage of brussels on our nations . 
the rapporteur , i believe that all these measures are justified , as it is right to examine the case of these substances which she refers - which are not toxic per se , but which increases the toxicity of mixtures . 
unfortunately , a large proportion of the know-how , common sense farmer , have been lost in this era of industrial agriculture where animals are no more than production units and goods . ancestral 
the new regulations will reclassify , harmonise and simplify regulations sanitary very detailed and complex issues which were previously scattered among many directives . 
the number of people who want to learn accurately what are components , according to my searches , relatively limited . 
secondly , the farmers , who are the producers of ingredients in animal feed , endure well and truly a change in the future it will destroy part of a much more important part of their basic products . . 
the recompense is necessary , even if it is clear that the farmers themselves are also very concerned about the well-being of their cattle . 
amendment no 18 propose explicitly to include water in the definition of feedingstuffs . 
on the basis of these different evaluations , the commission will propose to member states suitable measures to restrict the presence of substances involved in animal feed . 
in view of the amendments submitted to the adoption of this house , i am grateful to parliament for its support for the proposal . 
to sum up , therefore , the commission can accept unreservedly 15 of the 27 amendments . 
i assume that this time , but they will not succeed . 
the commission has promised that it will work and it has also announced that this list is not ready tomorrow . 
farmers must simply know - and this , at least on request and form of percentages - everything that contain these compound feedingstuff and in what quantities . 
in conclusion , i would like to warmly thank the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , as mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and hope that the council will adopt in relation to a constructive attitude , so that we can reach a transparent system concerning the declaration of feed . 
all this , of course , due to the tragedy of bse , which has been a real novel , several chapters . 
the toxic products , which affect the health of humans and animals , are not acceptable . 
but let us begin with the positive points . 
the proposal under discussion is the beginning of a series of initiatives which must be based on the white paper on food safety . 
thank you very much , commissioner . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by 152m queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] 
report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of the romania in the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] 
thirdly , and it is perhaps the most important condition difficult , the council must reach agreement on new arrangements , which would enable the community 's function effectively , efficiently and democratically after enlargement . institutional 
even if it approves the principles of article 13 , it is clear that the legislation subordinate to the european union goes far enough , and that there is no reason to refuse to applicant countries a right to differentiation cultural . draws sometimes very 
i shall conclude by emphasising the fact that the enlargement process must be gradual , at the pace of the adaptation of the candidate countries . 
. ( es ) in the current context and in view of the reservations which have started to make themselves heard about the enlargement of the european union , it is important that parliament poses a political gesture clearly in favour of it . 
. the european union , since its inception , has vocation to bring together the peoples . 
the criteria of the council in copenhagen in 1993 , with regard to the democratization of the ability to sustain competition reinforce , by way of " acquis communautaire ' , the reign of a unbridled capitalism and destructive . or 
a headlong rush into enlargement , in these circumstances , threatens to accelerate the drifts populist and fascisantes which shift here and there . 
the agenda of this sitting contains precisely a report relating to equality of opportunity between men and women , who illustrates once again the unsatisfactory from the acquis communautaire in this area . 
who could indeed denying entry , within the european home , in poland and hungary 's martyred in 1956 or the capital symbol , prague , when democracies grass-root défenestraient the head of state and écrasaient the people of jan palach , immolé for freedom of copernic pope john paul ii , in budapest . 
the europe of greater extent , the tasks and responsibilities more numerous , has need of financial resources more important . 
i take this opportunity to send my greetings to the elderly and pensioners to estonia , hoping that we are dealing with their means of existence within the european union . 
i therefore see no reason for that latvia is not permitted within the european union , if it continues to progress along the same pace and once again that the european union will undertook to make the necessary adjustments in its structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . 
i therefore see no reason for that lithuania is not permitted within the european union , if it continues to progress along the same pace and once again that the european union will undertook to make the necessary adjustments in its structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . 
progress is also evident in the field of environment , with the implementation of the ' national fund for the protection del environment ' and the application of the polluter pays ' principle . 
by ensuring poland into the common house , the european union will show justice with regard to the new arrivante : a justice which it has for too long missed . 
i hope that the czech republic will join the union speedily . 
. ( en ) i welcome the queiró report on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and i share most of the draws conclusions which the rapporteur . 
i hope that bulgaria will join the union in a future not too distant future . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
it is one of positioning fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take into serious consideration . 
i hope , in this connection , that the negotiations under the auspices of the un can only be successful in such a way that the cypriot people greek and turkish benefit , overall , the benefits of membership in the context of a republic reunited . 
- ( en ) i warmly welcome the poos report on the candidature of cyprus to join the european union . 
we are , however , consumers , we stand at the stage of the food chain and are therefore the réceptacle finalization of misappropriation of counterfeit products and foodstuffs . ultimate 
we are particularly keen to implement at european level , and more practical way , food safety , since the byre until the table , or from the farm until the fork . 
it is precisely because we are in favour of the development of cooperation , really and truly equal partners , between all the countries of the world , that we do not intend , through our vote , to endorsing a farce . fraternelles between 
the council has informed parliament before the vote in committee , but only just before it , deviating from thereby deliberately any chance to re-examine this matter with moi or with parliament . 
in my report , i would ask for a greater involvement of ngos , a strengthening of responsibility towards the european parliament , the establishment of an annual report which will be debated in parliament , a degree of transparency the highest possible , promotion of memories of the past as a tool for combating prejudices and recognition of discrimination multifaceted . representation and 
at the same time , the interests warranted workers must be taken into account . 
given that a high level of responsibility rests with the social partners as regards the rules of discrimination in the workplace , they are best placed to develop practical solutions . 
replying to my invitation , jenny was lagged attend as coordinator of the group access charter . 
practicality , because the directives and the action programmes stadia , on the one hand , the member states to combat discrimination based on the same principles and the other hand , the commission to play its role as guardian of the treaties , but also of guidebook in social debate . 
although the legal basis liberates appropriations for new preparatory actions , their funding from within this category could lead to a reduction in appropriations allocated to other policies . 
ladies and gentlemen , we have before us a proposal for a framework directive is necessary but insufficient , which we shall have the opportunity to improve the mechanisms once it is a certain period of time for implementation will be passed . 
i hope that the commission , in the light of this new directive , the interest of outskirts of discrimination on grounds of sex . 
i congratulate the commission , as well as the authors of these reports . 
i am satisfied with the opinion of the mann report aimed at allowing organisations to bedrock ideological to ask , if necessary , to staff requirements at the nipped in connection with this legal basis . 
the speed with which the institutions have made use of new powers of the amsterdam proves , commissioner , that the european union canning always its status pioneer in terms of equal opportunities , and that is why i heartfelt thanks go to the european commission . 
the fact that there is in our society discriminatory effects of various kinds confirms the importance of the action programme in presence , with regard to the report by mr cashman . 
mr president , on behalf of the bonino list i should like to express effarement that we finesse prefix the way europe and the member states treat the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia . 
can the commissioner to explain why the commission does not take account of this aspect ? 
the second issue i would like to address is that the ngos , for important they may be , are invited to deal with the implementation regardless of their size , by their nature and actions that they are pursuing . 
the liberal and democratic has estimated that positively and especially the activity of parliament who wanted to insist , also and above all , on the prevention of phenomenon and not just on best practices . 
this is a challenge for us all , because we consider the other on a first impression . 
mr president , combat and legislate against discrimination is to recognise that they do exist and even though they are , for many of them , ' regulated " because banalisées . 
the first , the unctad , the un conference on trade and development , which has arisen in 1963 geneva principle of inequalities compensatory , therefore discrimination . 
in fact , information and awareness profitable in respect of fundamental importance , they must be an element talked and serve to inculquer a new mentality , a new way of thinking and for being so that these prejudices again bandied about the way pervasive in population can be completely eradicated and that a genuine parity is guaranteed in legal terms between all the citizens . 
it is therefore important to make progress with the two legislative initiatives discussed today , however , some of their aspects and increasing the amounts earmarked for the financing of the programme , in order to reflect the political importance of this fight against discrimination . welfare-promoting 
in particular , the agreement on the principle of forecasting adjustments are reasonable , including sweden and ireland are pioneers , will now ensure that employers in the whole of europe , adapt their places of work , bread-winning special equipment and altering their working methods in order to provide an opportunity for genuine clabeck workers with disabilities . 
article 13 is the point of departure for a new target of eu : combating discrimination or the unequal treatment of citizens through grounds listed in the same article . 
the second point is the mistake committed by the commission with this first package in this sense that she wanted to draw up a list of priorities level grounds for discrimination . crude unfortunately 
mr president , discrimination based on religion is unacceptable , just like any other form of discrimination . 
as a secular convinced , i cannot therefore me associate myself . 
however , the noble-minded idea of acknowledged every citizen in the maximum freedom as possible , provided that it is compatible with the same extent freedom for others , encountering today still barriers between each of done and the law . - 
one of these directives has already been adopted in record time , and i believe that the other was a good chance of being adopted during the french presidency in november . 
some of them are not conform to the legal requirements , such as the amendment concerning the agreements committees . 
however , i cannot accept amendment no 38 , which proposes to remove from article 5 list of difference in treatment on the basis of age , which could be justified . 
you mentioned the important issue of conformity terminated . 
that is the first time that we are allowing joint projects in this action programme . 
it is clear that the code will be comprehensive , more efficient . it will be more 
article 7 of the code commits the member states to prevent any transfer of arms exports of end-users inappropriate . 
mr president , i confess that the nostalgia for time , the european parliament , but also of various movements pacifists and trade unions , and to act in the direction of a gradual reduction of arms production , and where one wondered how it might enaction of military use of the civil use . incentives to consider where émanaient 
given the present situation today in the world and our continent , after the end of the cold war and the breakdown of equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , this behaviour irresponsible . 
these weapons have become , so to speak , the symbol of the anarchy in many places in the world . 
cfsp covers an activity which is designed to deal with situations of crisis outside the borders of the eu , and not anything which might be described as a defence policy . 
their aim is to prevent arms exports to destination of governments who violate human rights , the regions in prey to conflicts or regions engaged in the races to arms . 
the commission , in close collaboration with member states , participated actively in the drafting of the joint action of the european union on small arms and small arms . 
the next item is the commission communication on the european research area . 
introduction of forms of intervention for the longer term ; intermediary between the support of projects and funding institutionally , use the instruments to variable-geometry offered by the treaty , particularly the union 's participation in national programmes such as it is anticipated in article 169 of the treaty . 
what we want to strengthen , this is the nature of hierarchy and depends on the level of mode of intervention . 
you say envisaging a complete overhaul of the framework programme . 
i think we need today to something which the european research area , in other words , something which goes beyond the framework programme which comes into supplement national programmes ; we need an element provide , which means that we must accept the formulae . structure of 
with regard to thoughts with stoa , i believe we must do something together , because the house , the joint research centre , the institutes in foresight here in the various member states are concerned . 
it seems that the commission is making progress giant step forward towards the completion of the european research area . 
there will be quite a chapter on science and society and its citizens . 
contacts were held with the authorities in greece , ireland and portugal to ask the government of these countries to speed up the presentation of the commission to their projects under the cohesion fund . 
probably the absence of the service you mention , which existed in the previous commission and which was devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund , does not allow us to move things more concrete . 
my second question is : apart from the cohesion fund , there is the community support framework , the structural funds , the regional programmes , etc. to which countries have you received the projects and programmes to which countries have you already approved ? what definitive 
in 1989 , the commission has introduced a new proposal before offer greater flexibility . 
i listened carefully to the arguments of mr bolkestein and i know that the principle of taxing the strangers unsurprising that companies , but the general food law of fair competition in europe should apply , and when levels of taxation are totally disproportionate , we should consider the fact that the legislation on competition can have on the situation , and this despite the general rule whereby it is also a prerogative of member states . treaties prohibits home-produced 
if you want to retain the fuels must be done via taxes on fuel , and not through other forms of taxation . 
i shall reply to mr purvis 's question disadvantages regional natural is probably for national governments insofar as part of their electorate finds itself in peripheral areas and to opt out . 
mr president , commissioner , thank you for this information . 
during the spring and in the last summer , the commission has undertaken a general review of its activities and its resources . 
we have had some information in this direction . 
these children , in an increasing proportion , are being exploited by tourists and business people , who for large numbers of them come from europe . 
the commission believes that all companies will be able to prepare themselves in time for the changeover finalization of the euro , including with regard to the adaptation of their computer systems and their software . 
this discussion philosophico-politique is no longer on the agenda , but we can discuss the general dangers of a referendum , although perhaps in another context . 
this also applies to the rug . 
a drum has recently been sent to the french authorities . 
as regards the candidate countries , i can tell you that meetings were held with them on the subject of animal transport and that preconceptions agreements were concluded . 
the commission has nonetheless been informed of sowing the spring of this year interception of seed imported from conventional varieties of different species , there ranges from cotton , containing traces of gm seeds . during the season 
however , after consulting its services , i am able to inform you that the basic requirements for safety in the field of computer equipment for private use or professional are laid down by the directive on electrical and electronic equipment , the directive ' low voltage ' , as well as by the directive on electrical equipment hertziens and telecommunications terminal equipment . 
it accordera-t-il nevertheless with me that the distinction made between safety at work and safety in class or safety for a child working home is only in fact not one ? 
perhaps serrera-t-il the hand of president khatami . 
aung san suu kyi is today de facto under house arrest . 
i am therefore reluctant to go further in terms of trade or to advise other actions relating to trade and investment . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
those who said to me that misreporting example referring to certain meetings pre-electoral which they had attended . 
questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . 
we want that , it is a report on european consolidated , published and examined by this parliament . 
we should concentrate on the transition to the non-production in arms and not on the way we shall ensure that our competitiveness compared with other countries in the world who produce arms . 
the five permanent members of the security council , which are supposed to look after our safety , should pay the ear to these proposals and negotiate the quicker settlement really worthy of the 21st century . 
the debate here today raises an important milestone in the process of reforming the commission prodi began there is a little more than a year . 
i cannot shake off to have the impression that in its haste in producing a proposal within the deadlines set out in the white paper on reform , the commission has failed to address properly the details . 
i therefore propose that the financial controller and the internal auditor kgs both annual reports fingerprinting account of their activities . 
mr van hulten 's report accentuates more , and rightly so , the distinction plaidée by the commission . it represents a good basis for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . 
hopefully this will not repeat not ! 
if we are defining a rule for the large institutions , then the principle of independence highlighted by the wise men should prevail everywhere . 
we very often resided in the past situations in which the decision-making process excessively long led to the proposers of disappointment and the loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
i would like to thank the commissioner that this report only an intermediate step . it means that it is the first phase of building a bridge between the control system which is available to us today and the system that we want after the reform . 
that is the proposal which is before you . 
it is only when they will be able to cope with the sampling , the process of sampling , which will also be liberally controlled , will be withdrawn . 
beyond words , we are all aware that the task will certainly not easy . 
i think that we are not skilled , nor as politicians or as a technicians , for we can endeavour alone to dealing with this problem . naturally also 
fortunately , the vast majority of children and young grow up in a mid-sentence free from such harmful factors . 
i share the view expressed by the president of the commission , when he stresses the need to establish such a catalogue statutory ; it is absolutely essential , in my opinion , strengthening the principle of subsidiarity and must therefore that the eu stops making wanting to introduce policies in a large number of areas in which political problems , are not cross-national . in all respects 
the information from the world and effecting in all areas of knowledge become accessible since the reside in the shortest time possible for them , communicate with the whole world is one thing . ordinary . 
apprehended very quickly , they claim to policemen : " it is funny , in the feuilletons , it does not take too easily ' . 
the legislator - i will conclude here , mr president - cannot be regulate everything , but it must occasionally reminded the rights and duties of everyone . 
i am very sensitive to the remarks that have been made on education and training to read pictures , on the awareness of the younger generations to take a critical approach media and not to buy anything you like , no matter when , no matter how . willy-nilly on 
if a report as it does not succeed in making progress , to improve the mobility or at least from start to break down the barriers that obstruct mobility in the world of education , nothing will be a more negative impact on their opinion . presently 
the problems to resolve in various countries are very diverse nature : for example , over-regulating differ in terms of social security , scholarship or study , right of residence , taxation and lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and qualifications traineeships . 
it is time that europe committing itself to reimposes the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe . 
experiences with regard to the mobility of students and teachers testify that the real problems of this mobility does not find themselves toll on the side of the direction of education , but in the field of authorities , social and fiscal of immigration . 
one has mentioned the socrates programme for illustrate this problem . 
there must have a system of inspection and control of a clear , even if this is done by sampling , and above all , a counter , a web page , where students can lodge complaints . delineation 
we therefore call for the integration of the target group researchers among the categories of people can benefit from recommendations . 
it is easy to do so in a speech , but not so in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate your approach , similar to that of chirac or the minister joschka fischer . 
the enlargement imposes strengthening and reinforcing the permits and not endangers not enlargement . 
( applause ) europe has a cultural heritage , social , legal and scientific single fuelled by the variety and the vitality of national components . 
the proposal for a resolution on the commission 's reports , on which you will pronouncement just now , is rich in this area . 
it is evident in the report drawn up by the finnish presidency on women and the decision-making process . indicators that she has drawn up will allow us to evaluate the progress made . 
apart from the conference of ministers and the symposium on equality at work , two very important reports , devoted specifically to equality , but kerguelen council ' employment and social affairs deserve to be mentioned . 
the second relates to the principle of non-discrimination , including based on sex . 
in the context of the annual reports , i would add - and the president-in-office has also mentioned this - that one of the main problems faces the eu obviously concerns the existence of large cultural differences . 
the reports which we are debating here also give the impression . 
we must ensure that the directive on equal convert really in legislation . 
i believe that this method , embodied in the first place in finland , is usable in several areas and , therefore , that it is part of the strategy of equal opportunities for the commission , we can expect good results . 
on behalf of the equal opportunities , french women have won , thanks to europe , the right to work at night . 
as a french citizen , this vision of the world to me particularly foreign policy . 
despite these reservations , we will vote for this report because , of course , we are in favour of equal opportunities , but equality of opportunity is , above all , respect for everyone . 
those who enable mothers freedom to raise their children without being paid will receive the bill later , in the form of delinquency young and vandalism . 
in this regard , i would remind you of our report on the splitting of pension rights in the event of divorce , so that benefits for the survivors and the age of pension funds to be integrated into the directive on 1979 . 
women polish we were very grateful to have stipulated that the council representative who was present did not even shared the position of women polish . 
a greater presence of women at all levels of government and in all areas is essential to strengthen democracy and to promote and maintain peace . 
to conclude , i would like to mention the situation of women in developing countries who are preparing to join the european union . 
as members of the council , and especially the men who are here to take the essential task which is to bring europe in the fight against the mafia which organizes the trafficking in women . because this form of slavery is not the kind of problems which can patting each other on the back of politicians responsible , or they can back or neglect . ipse facto , possess 
we can infer from the reports and the speeches that we are analyzing today that the problem of equal opportunities is , as many of us , knew , a problem of structural and that , in order to tackle , we need global strategies , because women are either one category nor a social group homogeneous , and still less collectively . 
it is true that i was rather sorry to see that maria de belém roseira no longer occupy this post . 
two of you have mentioned the new social rights , new rights tax . 
thirdly , they constitute the basis of a strategy with regard to the european union - even for the charter of fundamental rights , the fact of having prepared with a view to the current situation has played an important - but they are also offer the possibility nationally , since the member states can now , thanks to the comparative assessments , define their national targets . 
the joint debate is closed . 
we must see these amendments in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , consequently , parliament can in no insisting on these amendments comitology since , in a way , they have been overtaken by the new interinstitutional framework . non-negotiable not 
nevertheless , i personally think that the text approved by parliament responded much better than the new realities which gave rise to the single market and the liberalisation of markets , insofar as the elements of clarificatory and control that introduisaient amendments not accepted safeguard greater respect for the regulation and the application of the same procedures . continues at the time 
if we want to third countries must accept the compromise , the european community must be the first to be applied in order to ensure compliance with its own standards , because if a country has the opportunity to introduce products onto the market communautaire by smuggling , why will the death penalty negotiate some sort of concession with us ? 
the same way , the european parliament 's amendment concerning the declaration of illegal immigrants , which was adopted by the council , will enable customs administrations of member states to be retro-fit instruments for managing automated most modern . 
but it is too late now because the vote has just taken place and the members have voted in favour of it .

report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , on the commission 's annual reports on equal opportunities for women and men in the european union - 1997 , 1998 and 1999 ' [ com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0288 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ] . ' 
. this is not the first time that i speak on the mobility of students and teachers from corps . 
this report is even more important when it comes at a critical time for the european union , namely that of enlargement . 
this discrimination does not mean the creation of additional administrative services , but only in the minds of people . combats 
. i did not vote for the mann report , because if it is indeed necessary to seek to ensure equal treatment of persons in the field of employment and labour , yet we should not galvanise the overzealousness in point of abandon any protection freedoms and respect for the rule of law . 
as a secular convinced , i was unable to me associate myself . 
the snp fully welcomes this directive and its aim to end discrimination in the workplace . 
if we want to make the directive acceptable and exécutable , it cannot be overburdened with literature and longings who do not belong in a legislative text . 
the eplp is concerned , however , reservations on the following areas . 
some aspects should also , in our view , be left to the discretion of member states , such as the general terms of application of the organisation of training for workers in some age groups , the nature of the system of mediation and the way in which smes must interpret the directive . 
in this interview , mr van hulten remarked that only the resolution on issues such as fraud , wastage , but also the lack of effectiveness in the decision-making process , we will start with a positive agenda . rightly 
the reasons for the thrust of my vote being pertains in large measure , with the issue of the rapprochement between the european union and nato and to the boost given to the common defence policy . 
there are also mentions european arms exports as a means of resolving the conflict fta local geographical areas bordering on europe . 
however , i cannot accept that there uttering the need for a common defence policy and a european security and defence policy . 
children are the victims of violence on television . 
i welcome the study . 
a group of experts will also be represented at community level . it will task for the creation of a memorandum establishing general principles for the protection of minors in the context of the media . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it is particularly interesting that the first time , be addressed to the need to pursue the evaluation of the effectiveness of the political initiatives by means of the commission 's annual reports . 
peru 
mr president , peru are currently experiencing of uncertainty and we all hope that the current situation can be resolved by means of a process , guaranteeing all civil and political rights and contributing to the strengthening of democracy and peace peru , where 25 000 people died in the last fifteen years . devouring 
the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which took place elections in peru in may this year were unacceptable . 
b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . 
i am glad that the report contains certain points precise and clear on the situation of women and that it draws attention to the need to try to intervene in order to prevent the taliban regime does continues its implementation of discrimination disconnection of women . 
the eu has an important task . 
there can be recognition on the part of any member state , as will continue the policy of violation of human rights , especially in systematic discrimination with regard to women . 
we must take account of this reality , within the european institutions , and the fact that the cultures of drugs are used to buy arms . 
it will nevertheless manner resolute neighbouring countries , so that they improve their chances of combating drugs . 
i think it is time to reiterate the need for the european union is starting to dawn a comprehensive policy towards the countries of latin america , which could prevent these countries flux periodically crisis situations such as some have experienced . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and the house welcome the release of father jesuit spaniard alejandro matos castro last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the party of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : legislation in higher education and universities ; and 
that is why we are very pleased that the problem of high-education perhaps has finally found really positive . 
for my part , i see above all a good example , for all neighbouring countries , demonstrating that education does not serve only to spreading hatred - as is the most often - but that it can also be the birthplace of a multi-ethnic coexisting peacefully . 
i would also have liked this solution will be approved by all the parties represented in parliament . 
perhaps i can take the opportunity to stress that the commission has already been congratulate itself on its cooperation with the high representative , mr van der stoel . 
we are not only to express our deep sorrow . we are having to look at what has happened , what are the causes and how we are going to remedy the situation , how can we , as the commission and parliament , to ensure that such events do not occur again . this debate today is mainly 
in any case , mr president , we agree with this joint motion for a resolution that we support as it is libellée , under the urgency , and on the basis , it goes without saying , from what i mentioned earlier . we disagree with the amendments which were tabled also under the urgent procedure . 
for the amendment on working conditions , there is a directive related to the wording of amendment is not too satisfactory that text . 
it is simply not acceptable for islands north and the west of scotland , as for the itinerary potential of crossing the north sea towards the european continent which i hope the inaugurated in the near future . 
i am pleased that the greek government has meanwhile annulled this exemption . 
that is why , following the shipwreck of ship samina express the commission has asked the greek government to provide clarification on the application of community law in force . immediately 
i would like to raise the question , and i ask you to clarify this with the bureau , if , after the abolition of friday , the abolition of thursday did not already embarked on a certain side . 
this problem has not been solved and as long as it will not , the international financial institutions - the imf and world bank - will be unable to help the democratic serbia . consequently , we must also work at un level with the countries of former yugoslavia to reach an agreement which can unfreeze , when the time of freedom arrives in serbia , aid and economic - via the imf and the world bank as quickly as possible . 
in these moments will perhaps be playing into the streets of belgrade the advent of a democratic change where the use of violence can be avoided . 
we all condemn the acts that can be regarded as a provocation , especially as regards the holy places in jerusalem . 
in relation to the middle east , we europeans , have made an effort - venice , madrid and oslo , stockholm - and we really have supported the promotion and the development process . 
the fact that most shocking concerns the use of bullets breaking up by the police and army israeli ; these bullets , which disintegrating under the corps in tens of pieces and which are banned at international level , even in the fighting opponent soldiers , are now engaged against civilians . 
i believe that europe can and must make a great deal in this direction , with clarity and decision-making . 
we must therefore do everything to stop the fire underway as quickly as possible . 
the provocations such as the action of ariel sharon that must not happen . 
that is the case today , and that is what prevents and has prevented europe , in all these years , to play a mediate in the middle east , abandoning our role to the usa . again 
we do not sacrifierons the serbian people in our noble objectives moral because that could mean the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . 
to conclude , madam president , i propose to send a parliamentary delegation as quickly as possible and as soon as a new government yugoslav will formed in order to establish the plans for the reconstruction of a new serbia in conjunction with this new government . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , we clearly have an historic day within this parliament , which will mark the end of one of the last cornerstones of a totalitarian dictatorships in europe . inhabit perhaps 
mr president , there is a problem , the german version of compendium concerning the topical and urgent - i do not know if it is also the case for the other versions - contains only the rapporteur 's amendments gue / ngl group , but no proposal for a resolution , or even the joint text . 
mr president , i should just like to draw the attention of my colleagues on the pile which show what documents we have had a great need for the votes of this week . 
if parliament could propose amendments to the council decision , it clearly probably unemployment and social problems in croatia , which are due to the regime of austerity imposed upon that country . nevertheless , there is no such legal basis for such amendments in this context . 
this is an opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the eib 's activities . 
mr president , we discussed yesterday evening , from within this house , the question of serbia and revolutionary changes which will occur there . 
i also wish to convince our colleagues , and especially the council , to continue negotiations with the coming months on the budget for next year and the subsequent years , most faithful to the commission 's proposal , which , in my view , is so far the best estimate the overall costs in croatia and in other parts of the balkans . possible 
in 1990 , the democratic elections held in this country were deemed fair and free from international opinion . 
so i say yes to the financial assistance , yes to this and i urge the commission to help this country profoundly european and henceforth really governed democratically and according to the principles of the rule of law , to associate candidates for accession , because i believe that croatia has earned our unconditional support . guarantee energetically massively 
as the rapporteur , i wonder whether the money allocated to this end will actually available , all the more than it appears that a huge amount of money should be provided shortly to serbia and that the european union 's budget is not revised upwards . 
the delegations of the croatian parliament and the ours too have invited the council to extend the mandate of the eib . 
i hope that contacts are being noueront quickly and that , as in croatia , aid will be granted to the serbian people , who deserves our greatest respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
in this spirit , we call on parliament to participate in this deputation : there will be an appeal tuesday and wednesday and we will earn the signatures and participation in the delegation , the intention explicit to build , between women and bridges peace where gripping violence . women 
in general , there was much more suffering for basques and for spaniards ; it is true that the spanish and basques are tired of the current conflict . 
madam president , you will recall that in the last part-session , i mentioned the plight of a campaigner , the british james mawdsley , who was detained illegally by the burmese authorities . upstanding 
madam president , as far as i am concerned , i would like to speak out of the regulation . 
in reality , this report from the technical façade , which does not provide for greater modification of political , is extremely important insofar as it introduces the possibility of practise the genetic engineering in viticulture and thus to reach a winegrowing genetically modified . slipped ; 
if we do not agree with the report , there will delays . 
the council of state - as you said - has rejected this appeals and we did duly informed of this rejection . 
but today the situation is repeated and concerns a colleague , admittedly ppe , but not in my camp policy in italy . 
that is why we call for the introduction of a scoreboard for more social , as has been the case for the internal market , with clear measures , deadlines and deadlines . actively 
i hope , madam minister , that the council will be inspired by the parliament 's expectations and that you will manage , at the nice summit , to set ambitious objectives in a european social agenda which we can then we grips over coming years . 
following on from the council informal ' employment and social policy ' dated 8 july in paris , the presidency had asked for the whole of players - european parliament , of course , economic and social committee , committee on regional and social partners , ngos , groups and committees of the council - for him to make their proposals . 
pit the quantity to quality is a false debate and lisbon has been clearly established a dual purpose : to create more and more jobs , better quality . 
we must encourage this mobility , while ensuring the safety of paths professional . 
we must try summing up and describe the shortcomings of the system and , in any case , we must put them in the agenda . 
we believe that the open coordination is the path to go towards a social europe . 
the implementation of ambitions societal posted at lisbon termed an effort community-spirited , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the services , including those related to the information society . 
the commission can of course provide a significant contribution , but social problems at local level , and it must be addressed by taking account of different contexts . concrete greatly underpin 
the social stumbled as corrective effects of the most adverse economic policies . 
the proposal submitted originally proposed by the commission would have been much better unamended - congratulations , commissioner . 
this is an ambitious agenda . i can still remember how we advanced grievously in terms of social protection during the previous legislature . 
i think that this will be very positive and help women to reconcile family and working lives . 
i sometimes get the impression that , under the concept of modernisation , people often think to strip the welfare of its substance . 
what are the fundamental elements of content ? 
there is still difficult to define european objectives which will be equally apply in all member states , since there is a reality diverse . 
49 amendments were tabled in committee . 
it is therefore important that we deliver guarantees regarding the possibility that will non-governmental organisations to influence this process . 
another point is that the community must intervene more in the assessment of needs further initiatives , including , if necessary , adaptation of the regulation , equal opportunities and the fight against discrimination . 
this is not as good ideas and good plans in order to achieve equality , have missed it in the past , but their implementation has often failed . 
it is not right that the voice of women or those with a handful of professional 's demand living thanks to the perfusion of public money . 
equality between men and women into civilian life , which allows women to enjoy full of human rights and fundamental freedoms . 
i expect that the actors are interested finally and that they are fighting for stereotypes and of roles between the sexes exceeded . male 
however , i believe that we must thank the rapporteur for having followed this debate , given that its presence did not scheduled during this debate . 
competition policy 
we must offer our businesses the best possible conditions so that they can organise their production and , above all their future . 
they must have a wider choice of products to high-quality sold at competitive prices : it is , ultimately , the reason why we need to promote the single market and , in parallel , free competition , because it gets off all our citizens . 
it is the decision to grant or not to grant national aid in the coal and steel sector . 
point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report addresses the desire to improve legal certainty at the entreaties of mergers and making it more efficient and more rapid timetables applicable procedures of appeal . 
in any event , it is an nationalised companies who need them strength rather a fine business management , but to monopoly position past and present . 
we think it is necessary to involve citizens more in the information on competition policy , so that it recognises the benefits . 
they have a considerable importance for employment and regional policy and i want it to misunderstanding about this in future , so that these aid , aid home , who have implications for regional development and the economy of the regions , where transportations are taking a typical example , can be pursued . value 
this communication contains three important messages . 
i should also like to thank mr evans for her excellent report on the arrangements for state aid to the steel-making industry and on the eighth committee 's report on state aid in the european union . 
i would therefore like to reassure mrs palacio and mr karas , along with other members who have spoken on these points , and tell them that the regulation takes largely take account of their concerns . 
otherwise , we should goal , namely encourage competition and consumers in a way perverse . 
the joint debate is closed . 
the mechanism of financing is the application of article 119 of the ec treaty , which is still in force during the third phase of economic and monetary union only for the member states which do not participate in the single currency . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i welcome the fact that we can still discuss on today 's proposal for a council directive amending directive 68 / 193 / eec on the marketing of forest reproductive material of the vine , and i hope that tomorrow 's vote will be positive . 
some of them were launched , on 5 july , the appeal of beaune , where they ever-tougher throughout their concern about the introduction of gmos in their profession . 
the rules that they are also in favour of the production of a hardware vegetal varied providing the best guarantees sanitation , which is fundamental to accompany the restructuring of vineyards community-spirited , focal points of the new com vini-viticole . anticipate effectively , 
we must say so loud and clear , there was no need to gaver articles of the directive 's reference to directive 90 / 220 ongoing review , except in wanting to promote the full force in the vines are genetic manipulation . 
i am pleased to inform you that we can accept in addition , amendments nos 35 to 40 , tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , who tend to strengthen the transposal of safety requirements and management concretized in directive 90 / 220 . 
i would simply like to point out that parliament has not been asked to comment as such . 
madam president , it is about paragraph 14 of our minutes on the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of our college pacheco pereira . 
i shall be more specific on qualified majority . 
on the weighting of votes , the two options well-known remain on the table : weighting simple for which a slight , very slight majority is confirmed , or double majority , but with various formulas , dual simple majority or repondérée or a form of ' fillet demographics ' . also , 
moreover , without prejudice to any assessment of needs and coordination of economic assistance and financial aid to the federal republic of yugoslavia , which will be entrusted to the european commission and the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant the federal republic of yugoslavia initial emergency humanitarian aid of eur 200 million . conjuction 
however , you see , ladies and gentlemen , if i wanted to tell you quite frankly , i would say this : irrespective of the sensitivity of these issues - composition of the commission and voting system - it is not on this basis that we can gauge the success or failure of nice . spontaneously and my feeling 
also capitulating to approval by the heads of state and government of the charter of fundamental rights , but i must nonetheless remind you , mr president-in-office , the reason that has made this possible . approbation positive 
as we do not need to starve to slackness and the spirit of nice , our fundamental priority over 50 days remaining will be to raise the negotiations at political level . 
in this sense , i would also like to address meps of the european people 's party - and i would ask mr poettering to hear me - because what we champion in this house , we should defend outside . 
as far as we know the results achieved by the prime ministers and presidents-in-office to biarritz on issues highly sensitive to reform the treaty , the charter will probably the most wonderful success of nice . 
the council would really expectations perceive europe by launching a great consultation populations , the national parliaments , enabling us to reach a charter responsiveness really needs . 
we must therefore launch an appeal to everyone to return to the origins of our union , have the courage which have taken valéry giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt in deciding the election by universal suffrage in 1979 and decide that in 2009 we shall ultimately a president of the european union , the commission president . the european parliament in 1976 and 
i would like in particular , in this respect , respond to what was said by mr poettering on the rift between large and small countries . 
i have just returned from a word simply on matters of external trade policy , because it is a matter of quite seriously . 
that is surely something of precious which has been highlighted by all members of the european council . 
another positive point was the adoption of the charter in its entirety . 
besides , it seems to me on this crucial issue for the future of the european union and its decision-making method , biarritz marked issues and we must welcome them . 
i hope we can still convince , headway , for prevail over this point in nice . 
i cite two examples : the one hand , there is the right to work in the right to work and the other hand , a number of social rights understood in the social charter revision of the council of europe do not find themselves in the charter . 
it is clear from the debates which took place throughout europe , including those of biarritz , member states that the greatest seek , in part , to put pressure on the smallest member states in order to reform the european union in accordance with the line followed by the larger countries and also according to their desires . policy 
the disaffected on both sides are proof for negotiators that they are working towards bringing the balance right . 
the leaders of europe has not made clear vision . 
a commission structured on criteria of portrayal of each state betrays a conception little visionary . 
we would then have a centralised union , which would leave the small countries is less influence that the system of bicamérisme u.s. does not leaves provinces of small businesses . 
after the tampere summit , where all the parties concerned to find a solution to the crisis of violence and re-establish dialogue between barak and president arafat , we have seen , however , there has been this moment where it seemed to succeed , it is extremely difficult to contain the violence . sharm-el-sheikh had been met spite 
the bad informers , of course , mean to say to mr barón things which are not real about italy 's and my party . 
it is important that we can make progress in matters of taxation of energy in europe . the latter has undergone a total deadlock until now owing to the principle of unanimity . 
we cannot allow itself to a situation in which the small states , would to fear a drift towards solutions to directorate-general . deploying 
i believe that the convention has produced an excellent report and i am proud to have been able to count amongst its members . 
in this particular case , the question will be : when will operate this principle of rotation strictly egalitarian between large and small . second 
the extension of qualified majority voting with the codecision procedure , the preservation of article 250 as it stands today , the establishment and the commission 's role in the intensified cooperation and not just on the first pillar : these are some elements which will enable us to judge instantanément if there is , ultimately , or success . failure to genuine subjects 
mr president , thank you for jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , thanks to all of the carlo ciampi , of joschka fischer , jacques chirac , of michel barnier to pierre moscovici , chris patten to costa simitis , passing through florence , and by the multitude of current meps who recaptured , from 1999 , the great movement for a european constitution . vaclav havel , , firstly , on 
do not contest overladen with europe , and this is a socialist which you have said : it has given us greater wealth for all . market-driven 
accordons-nous at least on this objective , and since we are doing , say how . 
mr president , i had the satisfying to note that in substance , the proposals presented recently at the intergovernmental conference are along the same way as all or part of the criteria that i exposed . 
mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you have liked to have this morning , a debate on issues on which your chamber deemed it necessary to complement the opinion on the intergovernmental conference that she was issued in april . 
thus , while respecting constitutional framework exists , it seems difficult - i say - to provide for more than a procedural point of view consultative parliament at the eruption . 
as you well know , this requires us to make some political choices , a scope significantly greater than the regulation of three requirements laid down highest . 
i myself have stressed that the formula retained for the charter was an avenue to explore . 
but i have understood that beyond the aspect linguistically , your question hid these another concern . 
this is also why i wanted to say thank you , and on the substance and content , the initiative which you have taken . 
the establishment of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies which would added to the european union 's institutions . 
it is time to revise the treaties . 
the rejection of the european council to incorporate the charter of fundamental rights of the european union in the founding treaties , we must make these rights legally-based and allow the way people whose rights are not have been adhered to accede to the european court of justice , interferes in this consensus is fundamental . 
otherwise , we did not achieves this europe of citizens and citizens in my view . 
paragraph 8 : the constitution treating - and i quote - " questions left open ' . 
nobody has yet been able to tell me what would have changed since then . 
secondly , compared with an agenda insufficient , which has been left aside matters of particular importance for the future of the european union and the interest of european citizenship . 
mr president-in-office , that on the eve of revolution bolchevique - something which should have disastrous consequences throughout the world - the orthodox church was plunged into a debate on the style of clothes ' of ceremony to wear during the carême . russian complex deluding 
it is therefore imperative that the cooperation offer any guarantees that was recommended by the rapporteur , that they are open to all , in compliance with the spirit of the treaties , and that they did not go against the will of the acquis communautaire . 
however , there is one point i would like accentuate : it does not seem right to demand or strive towards referendum obligatory in all member states for the approval of the proposed amendments . 
we have had a very lively debate on two issues which , although variety , meet with one point . 
we are prepared to make sure that it can be put to the vote during the november part-session , so that the text be adopted under the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
that means " the introduction of the opportunity to retire incrementally via the part-time work , if it is not a threat to the retirement age , however much too high actuality in many countries ? ' 
everyone knows that pensioners , such as children , love jams . 
i asked to pensioners who have spoken before me mandated here in parliament , with the pensioners ' party is in their sort of drink wine genetically modified . 
or , even by derogation , to put on the market material from multiplication standard , when the needs cannot be covered by other categories . 
i therefore ask you , mr president : the cost of labour does not form , for this reason , they also have a limit to free competition within the european union ? fluctuate 
it was therefore inevitable that we vote against this report .. 
despite the measures in favour of greater deregulation within the european union , state aid still have a constructive role to play in the social and economic development . 
these aid may be necessary to protect the environment , the maintenance of public services and to guarantee a high level of income equals the inhabitants of structurally weak regions . 
we underline the risk , after the control of the eu on state aid is important to see it targeting the aid of a small amount invoking competition made smes . enshrinement 
section vi , economic and social committee 
if one consults the échéanciers implementing the budget for categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 , we see that only an average of 8 % of total commitments are covered by payments . 
there are three years , we have endeavoured via our the employment initiative in helping small and medium-sized enterprises in obtaining capital at risk . 
parliament wants to do this in two ways . 
it is then that the european institutions meet their mission . 
i take the opportunity to expressly thank the vice-president responsible for budgetary matters , our colleague , mr schmid for his constructive cooperation . 
we want this committee should be capable of working , but we cannot allow it to be the place where the requirements of the european parliament , as part of the budgetary authority , faced with a less echoing . 
this means that the financial year 2001 is the last year 's budget to fully-fledged and it is against that background that we must assess the commission 's proposal and one that we are submitting to parliament . 
we also want to look at administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 - i repeat - the committee on budgets , parliament is trying to achieve that procedures of the european parliament must take account of the financial impact of the resolution that vote in parliament . 85 
i conclude , mr president , i would like to thank the other institutions for their diligence in dealing with this joint statement . 
you are being asked today to give your opinion on a budget which has already been amended at first reading by the council . 
regarding structural actions : the amount of structural actions has generally been perpetuated by comparison with the 2000 budget . 
the council 's attitude with regard to the financial perspectives is fluid . 
when you look at these different figures , we see that still remain significant differences in terms purely quantitative but also , of course , in terms of content . 
in this respect , i must point out that , last year , a new decision was taken with the council at the end of a lengthy debate and i have some hope of being able to take up this debate . 
the financial perspective agreed in berlin for the period abreast of up to 2006 foresaw 8,1 billion euros for the meda programme . 
i would therefore ask the council and to the committee on budgets to think in terms of foreign policy and not just in terms of budgetary policy , when they are dealing with foreign policy . 
the second concerns the aid to victims violations of human rights in need of treatment in the institutions specialised . 
if a compromise solution to slam the important work of the committee affairs emanated from being released during the remaining time , we could still settle this issue ; otherwise , the position of our committee remains open . confidence-inspiring 
we need to remind you of the day after day to put our positions on television and the fact that the middle east is going through a difficult period . 
that is why i hope that we succeed in spite of everything , tomorrow 's vote , the majority required for the monitoring centre in dublin . 
mr president , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development , i would like to make a few remarks and especially for a start , on rural development . 
we asked the approval of a credit illustrative of two million euros for an information campaign on the cfp . 
the european commission should negotiate with the arguments of weight to reach a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned must pre-occupation with them lend political support to this negotiation . 
we see today that the 2001 budget , bearing in mind pictures of the serbian population . 
as a whole , we want these amendments . 
however , a route through which citizens can ensure that their concerns are taken into account is either the appeal to the ombudsman , either the dispatch of a petition to parliament . chunk 
i shall begin by discussing the budget of this house . 
at the surprise of many members of my delegation , we have at the beginning of september produced a unanimous platform . thus , the 400 amendments tabled by my colleagues have formed a surprise to many of us in the committee on budgets . strategic 
it is difficult to imagine how new posts could solve the problem of management if the commission as to the council , are still some complex procedures of another age who are used to implement many programmes . 
in recent years , this parliament has repeatedly shown that it departure its work on a parsimony real . 
it is unacceptable to speak , for years , in very vague about the commitments and the re-endorse regularly if it is to say , when it comes to its accounts , that enough is enough for us and that we now need to restricting on our promises . 
if we do not imagine that some unfortunate million on these lines , and we cannot do much more - we agiterons a carrot than we will withdraw if these people will be really need . 
as last year 's budget , the budget for 2001 was located facing problems practically insoluble ; firstly , the pressure for the consolidation and a policy of austerity , as agreed in the interinstitutional agreement , in order to guarantee the financing of enlargement ; on the other hand , the need sorely financing of the stability pact for the balkans . 
demand for better performances also calls for more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , in its original version , could begin to change the datum , but the majority of the committee on budgets rejected this idea . 
and here too , unfortunately , there are many other examples : the privileged treatment given to vocation or the many ngos to function , with the philosophy and functioning of the most controversial , the financing of european political parties , passing through them are taken in the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of member states of the validity of the euro at a time when the european currency is experiencing a loss of confidence broadly shared by all europeans , to our friends danes until the leaders of the european central bank . associations federalist 
finally , our colleague mr heaton-harris has rightly pointed out , in the amendments he has proposed , one-sidedness of many european programmes which are being serves as a whole propaganda for the citizen , about european integration , and it has its own costs , as well . note through 
furthermore , our administrative systems must be modernised . we must also set a good example . 
the meda programme , enshrined in the mediterranean basin , geographical area of the utmost importance strategically , constitutes a good example of lack of capacity to implement . 
when we talk about making reductions or to take the money to category 4 for giving resources to certain priorities , we must not forget what the priorities of the house . we have demonstrated this quite clearly during the vote in committee . 
this amount should therefore be the subject of a clarification . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
this means that there is a real elements of flexibility to move forward on this or that policy , even when someone , it cannot or do not want , and what applies to the countries of the european union applies to the candidate countries . demur 
i think that austria is not to complain about what has happened , quite the contrary . 
the recommendations of the regional organisations as well as the experiences of neighbouring countries will undoubtedly contribute to the definition of these resources . 
in 1984 , 0,2 % of owners columbians had 32 % of the earth . 
the council is not here to comment on this or that aspect of this issue which is extremely difficult and painful . 
at the same time , there is no longer engage as having a debate on issues which are , once again , an extremely complex . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
therefore , i definitely well to give a definitive answer on this difficult issue . 
we just have the feeling , and your reply bears this out somewhat , that the council presidency is not very proactive in dealing with this issue . 
therefore , the income from this tax will obviously not nil . 
i , too , to apologise , but we are going to apply the regulation . 
if the tilted right from the chamber remained silent , that is why we have already dealt with these issues and in our opinion it is pointless to return repeatedly on the same themes in the chamber while our time is valuable . previously 
furthermore , in anticipation of the adoption of this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies , a decision on the removal of specified risk material fraught with danger in the light of these diseases was adopted in june 2000 , to eliminate any progression news of the epidemic and to ensure that consumer confidence in the level of health protection as large as possible . 
i have no other factors than those that i could give you just now . 
we piecemeal and we are familiar with the work of the commission and council on the erika package 1bn . however , in relation to this passage , who is familiar with both countries and known within the european union , which is a particularly difficult , harks back to largest boats to gain a few hours , with the risk that the old tankers will fail and lead to disaster , i would have liked to know , and especially those living in corsica , of sardaigne would have liked to know whether it will be possible , and if you intend to prohibit purely and simply the passage of bouches of bonifacio by these largest boats , these major casks . passage through just come 
this is why i believe we must , in principle , support the commission 's proposals for the revision of the policy of staff . 
we must inject money from expenses in the budget for serbia and kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , i shall conclude by saying that , it will surely scrapping the lines of the budget of eur 50 million to finance the peace agreement israel / plo . 
that is why we propose to the european parliament , the new measures which will serve to seek a new funding - we know that the current economic climate , does not permit - that the new interinstitutional which will improve the quality of expenditure and will ensure that no euro should not be wasted . finalise compromise less 
remember that in european policy , as in any other area , the options gentle depleting sometimes to be a majority . 
it is designed to overshadow rather than to clarify matters , and i was disappointed by the attitude adopted today with regard to the activity-based budgeting . 
the fact that the conditions attaching expenditure depending on their activities enables us to consider the budget as a political instrument with which the break-down of expenditure reflects the political priorities dot . 
we must find a solution in order not duty , year after year , reviewed every time how we can find the money for the reconstruction of the balkans . multi-annual 
who is interested in the development of an agricultural sector does not mean that the dynamics of the recent reform , as it was agreed in berlin , " circulates from ' constantly of aid to the raw material support to direct income of farmers . sustainable researches station 
a budget , ladies and gentlemen , is still much more than a simple danced to figures . 
finally , it is immoral , mr president , to reduce expenditure for the common agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for socially-excluded , in view of devoting resources intended to finance the commitments of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . 
clearly , we need to ensure that the serbian population does suffers from the cold and the hunger during the winter . 
furthermore , i would like to express my concern to see the various parliaments for young amalgamated in the socrates programme . 
of course , it must also be clear to the council that it bears a share of responsibility in the development inadequate in some external programmes . 
we now need a stable solution regarding these aid , especially when it comes to their long-term planning for the western balkans . 
i think that most people would be prepared to accept such a cost , provided that this money is used to good effect . 
i share the concerns and arguments that the rapporteur , mrs rühle has raised this evening in research and of social assistance . 
there are two weeks ago , was held in the joint parliamentary assembly acp countries . 
at the same time , we want budgetary resources are being invested in the funds for research and information in order to find alternative production for tobacco producers in current . 
i want to make it clear that the european union has had the effect of more direct and more positive than you can imagine on northern ireland , . 
in this model , compliance with rules and procedures is guaranteed by an independent authority and , in the final instance , by judges . 
we shall thus , for the first time , a codecision procedure at first reading on a text extremely complex and riddled with technical difficulties , concerning a particularly sensitive sector for the protection of civil liberties . 
it is entirely positive that we did not collated in a single authority their respective duties . 
for example , that the schengen system has more than ten million statements about almost one and a half million people , that europol sees its skills constantly broadened , involves centralisation information from various services of the fifteen member states , and that , under the control of an authority which neither the competence nor the resources are made available to enable it to fulfil truly another task . single-handedly known reaped policing 
having said this , i benefiting from the commissioner 's presence to say that it would seem appropriate to consider not only for the protection of public compared with the new technologies , but also for the use of these technologies for promoting the capacity of the european citizen to intervene and to interact with regard to european institutions . 
amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 , 10 , 12 % to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 and 60 to 64 reintroduce the text of the council for those points where the commission cannot endorse . numérotés 
it goes without saying , therefore , that its opinion on the legislative proposals concerning the protection of personal data will be very valuable insofar as it will represent an important contribution to the debate lawmaking between institutions . 
the treaty acknowledges indeed outermost regions to an economic and social situation difficult , exacerbated by the handicaps kerry whose permanence and the combination revolve seriously damaging the development of these regions . 
it thus contribute to the promotion of economic and social progress , thanks to a level of employment fluids . 
i therefore congratulate mrs sudre and we impatiently await the methods of application of the commission 's proposals so that it will be taken into account corner of specificities pursuant to article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . 
for many europeans , some of the outermost regions are not that of tourist destinations sur la carte . 
our unemployment figures are among the highest in the european union . 
i am delighted that the commission has adopted a large majority of the amendments that i had tabled . 
it is very important , in my opinion , that outermost regions are integrated into the trans-european transport , energy and telecommunications . 
the adoption , unanimous support of the committee on regional policy , the report presented by our colleague margie sudre is an expression of the fidelity of parliament vis-à-vis one of its commitments the most important . 
we cannot discuss a set of circumstances and believing that from the point ideal and idyllic - let thereby - has been achieved , it will no longer be necessary to take further steps in the treatment of these three areas and , more particularly , outermost regions , which is at issue here . 
this article , ladies and gentlemen , we cannot allow admittedly not to do everything , but it allows us to strengthen and , i think it is necessary , to extend and improve our action . 
preparation for the proposals which are necessary , the commission obviously cooperates with member states and the regions concerned . 
in these regions , we know , there is permanently difficulties and i believe , therefore , objectively , according to their actual level of development , that they will require permanent support for regional policy and the special measures . 
a meeting of this kind could again be organised in the course of the year 2001 , when we will be further developed in the implementation of the programme presented in march . 
the presidency has said it was closed and i accept perfectly . 
i believe that parliament has done well to keep to the current rules because , as stated another colleague , very often , indeed , these are not machines which have not worked , but the members who have forgotten to vote , and if you could correcting one vote later on , we have not or never . 
i am obviously what i eats . 
in short , commissioner , in addition to the palestinian authority , that the commission services responsible , in cooperation and coordination with member states , establish a system of controls homogenous and effective throughout the food chain and that the network of the european union should be strengthened and works in conjunction with the commission . laboratories agri-foodstuffs 
we must avoid any duplication in terms of activities and scientific research , which involves cooperation with national research centres and national and community . 
today , we are talking about a white paper and we have an interest in define certain principles . 
now , these procedures have been amended and changed and we have our own agency national food safety , the food standards agency . 
finally , we will also support a number of new amendments , more specifically , amendments nos 11-13 , and we want a vote in awareness about amendment no 14 . 7-9 
in this context , i would like to say straight away that food safety depends entirely on the organised by the authorities of stringent controls - controls which are too stringent than the weakest link weak . 
it is clear from the examination of this question is how superficial and vacuum this debate on political unification of europe . 
so are giving to the european food safety authority will only experiment , in conjunction with our national agencies . scientist 
if it does pinpointed the progress of the main diseases origin , food affecting the europe presently most , have done in reality they first appearance in latin america . 
nevertheless , it is imperative to define the conditions of referral of the food safety authority to ensure effective and rapid . 
we should also emphasise , as well as some previous speakers , in particular mr whitehead and mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is more than a new regulatory framework within the european union . 
mr president , i feel today is both a satisfaction and recognition of , on the one hand , with regard to the commission has promised that work in favour of a better food safety , and the other hand owe mr bowis and the whole of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . 
amendment no 17 seems particularly important . it stipulates that might ask council to consumer organisations . 
another aspect is the revision of the rules on labelling , both for sale in great detail , a review which gives lastly , thanks to the traceability of products and their ingredients and an accurate information to consumers and allow the determination of responsibilities possible in the event of risk or the crisis . well-structured that at 
in my opinion , the drafting of a new legislation is not a good response to the non-observance of existing legislation . 
during the vote on the environment committee , we managed to restore some balance in joins in the field of application of the issues relating to the nutrition and other key references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the safeguarding of eating habits . 
mr president , i would like to join my colleagues in congratulating the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very constructive approach and very logic of this specific problem . 
mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety , has no legal value does no harm to the dual value that it is certainly . 
the rapporteur , as well as many members of the committee members , including myself , have placed the emphasis on the food authority , which is actually somewhat regrettable . 
the independence and autonomy of the body are trump card which serve the best interests of the european consumer . 
i have said a lot of time , during this time , we had the opportunity with the choice of the rapporteur . 
mr president , i would like to congratulate our colleague mr bowis for being genuinely tried to integrate all the views expressed in his report and , above all for having accepted that we référions also to the notion of more general policy of nutrition . 
in short , mr president , the policy cannot shirk its responsibilities . 
but above all , we must win the respect of peers and public confidence and persuade the governments of member states to accept its findings . 
that is how i see a future european food safety authority . 
there is the world health organisation in geneva . 
i do not disguise either , that in publishing the white paper , i voted against the creation of such an authority . 
we must therefore ensure that the european union has the highest possible standards of food safety , but this perception - shared unanimously - must also analyse the economic consequences which it creates for the sectors concerned by a requirement of production . 
the tasks of the agency will then the following : researching the independent scientific advice , inspections and controls , and that a rapid alert system , but surely also a task for coordination in order to restore confidence . self-employed 
i must say in passing , i would say to the speakers who have referred to the question of the need to show more sensitive to the promotion of products premises or traditional that this matter is covered by the legislation hygiene . 
this climate consensual will facilitate the task of the commission when the time to submit a balanced proposal which takes account of the opinion expressed by parliament and the many stakeholders in the field of food safety . maximum 
in fact , this issue has been in recent years as a driving forces which have led , political point of view , to the signing of the ottawa convention . 
i reiterate my opposition to amendments nos 10 and 19 for anguish of coherence and , with regard to amendment no 29 , i would ask the roll-call vote blocs in order to have an improved wording of the text which has suffered in my view the problems of interpretation budget 
that raises a preliminary question . the european union and especially the commission must do everything to ensure that those countries which are not yet done so signed the ottawa convention . 
- ( de ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know the impact of anti-personnel mines , although they are often in special cases of justifications military far-going . 
it is they who raised for the first time in 1996 , the question of a budget line horizontal and creating a proper legal basis in order to provide a unique platform for very many actions in this important area . 
but i cannot hide the fact that the powers of persuasion of the union to achieve this objective encountering somewhat from the reluctance of some member states which balk at sign and ratify the convention . 
the fight against anti-personnel mines gain in efficiency when it adapts to the pre-conditions within each situation . 
parliament knows that there are already too much and that thanks to our proposals for reform of the community aid , we hope we escape the control of individual projects and concentrate our debates with the member states on strategies and programmes norm . external clumsiness 
ngos have proliféré meet the . and yet it is important to note that around four years after the first un conference on landmines , which was held in geneva and over a year after the entry into force of the ottawa convention , many countries and thousands of people in the world , the more often in the poorest regions , continue to suffer the terrible consequences of anti-personnel landmines and unexploded ordnance . 
the commission needs to improve the quality of his programmes and speed up their implementation . 
however , i think that , if you are once again how very carefully , you will notice that there are several amendments which you mentioned in my view , relate to awareness campaigns , on transparency , on access reserved for ngos , on things which work very well at this moment but that could still function more effectively . read through 
mrs bonino and mr patten also have reason to say that parliament and the council does not deal with the administrative questions , and i have listened very carefully to the remarks made by mr patten on this matter , because he believes manifestly we ought to be even less concern ourselves with that . requisite 
mr president , follows a long time ago that our group intervenes actively on the entire spectrum of applications and measures which are needed , since the adjournment of the production destroying stocks , the judgment of the marketing , until the mine-clearing operations , the rehabilitation of victims and the awareness-raising . 
the member states then to support the peace process in international forums . 
mines are naturally represent a major obstacle to the reconstruction of these countries and the return of refugees . 
the pace at which we , as was said earlier , we need much more than 100 years to rid the world anti-personnel mines . 
the third concrete measures to propose , to monitor and to implement . 
for every child that we protect bosnia in africa and elsewhere in death or horrendous injuries mines , the efforts we are providing all are justified . 
we must indeed put pressure on the european union countries which have not signed , such as finland , or who have not ratified , such as greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , look finland ! 
finally , we hope that the future tasks of the common eu military force stakeholders on the training of technicians , especially for people who have an interest in the disappearance of local mines . 
we do not forget either that the list of countries most seriously affected is mainly composed of developing countries . accentuating 
the proposals of the european parliament cannot be more in harmony with the lisbon objectives . 
the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , hope that parliament decides to amend the commission 's proposal , mainly in add some areas where legislation is appropriate , and the other hand , by defining a number of rights at european level . 
this means that the luxembourg process , which applies to the employment policy , should be extended to social protection and social exclusion . 
the most superpowers such as germany , france , great britain and to some extent , italy , are all agreed to submit their miliary small countries of eastern europe or south seeking membership of the european union . 
however , we feel for legal reasons that it is a mistake to refer to article 6 of the treaty establishing the european community , because it is not able to be formally adopted within the convention - because of its structure - and therefore has not in existence for legal right now . 
we believe that the inclusion of a new text in the treaties and risk sow the legal confusion . 
furthermore , the rapporteur has done the echoes of the new theory into vogue in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union : that of citizens represented by the european parliament and the member states represented by the council . 
the social democrats swedes and danes have today voted against the report drafted by mr olivier duhamel on constitutionalising the treaties . 
it is essential that the european union is moving towards a constitution which incorporates the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution only make sense if it was the democratic framework of a genuine european federation , the united states of europe . 
he said that we have understood , with a large part of the political class , that we préférions govern our relations with other countries by an international treaty . 
. ( en ) i welcome the report by mr duhamel as an interesting and constructive contributions to the idea of constitutionalising the treaties . 
they feel that a reorganizing and simplification of the treaties allow people to a better grasp the scope of the responsibilities of the eu , its limits , so that the procedures for exercising responsibilities in question . the charter of fundamental rights has been prepared on the basis of a convention involving national parliaments , the european parliament and government representatives . 
until the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe was a super syndicate intergovernmental . 
the edd group has voted against the report gil-robles gil-delgado on enhanced cooperation . 
it is indeed the concept of a union far too monolithic , where all cooperation should express an opinion at home , the ' single institutional framework , and where they should all be multiplied the objective of the superstate . manifesto . ' 
we therefore need to avoid delaying the practicalities of whole and thus allow some member states to make progress in developing the mechanism of closer cooperation . 
the structures operational internal market has always been a success , since the early 1990s . 
. ( nl ) cooperation at european level can be useful to solve the problems transcend borders . 
these areas could be a fantastic laboratory in terms of sustainable development . 
the technocrats , european judges have tried to remove the granting of seafarers ' which feeds into our common resources of the overseas territories and above all protects our artisans . thereby . ' 
however , france owns the overseas territories in the indian ocean and in the caribbean . 
its independence will be an essential factor in its credibility . 
our vote was therefore clarified the role and composition of the future european food safety authority , but also assuring our demands regarding its financing and its independence . 
secondly , the european agency must be completely independent . 
we must take account of the kind of agricultural practices and agro-industrielles , imports of food , the composition of the ingredients in animal feed , the maximum levels of residues of pesticides , the components of foodstuffs and others , by giving priority to food safety . dioxins and problems goods 
we voted for amendment no 15 because we feel very strongly committed to protecting europe 's cultural heritage linked to the local food production . 
we do not have to margin in almost no category . 
we also want inscribe 50 % of the budget line and put 50 % in reserve . 
i note here that other proposals are designed to reduce the budget . 
report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets on draft general budget of the eu budget for 2001 - section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) 
madam president , i appear as signatory to some amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the real surprised about this budget relates to external actions , where dominating the selfishness and meanness . 
other resources could be provided by means of the flexibility instrument . 
i voted against the haug report , the same way as i have voted in favour of my group 's motion for rejection of the general budget for 2001 . 
we refer in particular of the new pilot project which will finance information campaigns in the fight against paedophilia . 
this shows , to some extent , the lack of motivation which gives rise to the european project , even amongst the citizens politically active . 
20 to 30 % of the markets will again proffered competition with private . 
given that this is not guaranteed in the report , i voted against the report . 
if one combines the low level of national boundaries , which décime premia , with the cuts proposed amounts of 5 % , 8.5 % for apples and pears and 10 % for the rest of the amount allocated to the market - understandable that , in large quantities of products processed fruit and vegetables , there will be no end to distribution . this would result in lower prices , the putréfaction products in the fields and in installations in conditioning of cooperatives , thereby forcing farmers to dig what they have cultured . withdrawal - for citrus fruit and vegetables sector as an overall inadmissible 
i voted for this report because it meets the expectations of organisations portugal 's horticultural sector , which are demanding a change of the com in fruits and horticultural products regarded profoundly damaging to the national interests . draconian 
report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
this problem plunges rooted in the sacrifice of all , and everything , even in the quality of the environment and climate , on the altar of the capitalist exploitation of natural resources and profit disproportionate . 
the richest countries had decided to take care of the cleaning up their own atmosphere , even though it was also retro-fitting , within the limits strict , to put on their list of results reductions in emissions from that they will help to achieve elsewhere . kyoto their 
combating the greenhouse effect is a major challenge for industrialised countries , including a duty towards the people from third countries which already paying their lives for the consequences of global warming . . 
all the art is to adapt to it in intelligently . 
we must also ensure and strengthen the effort oriented towards the detection of substances suspected of termination of endocrine disrupters - perhaps in a legislative framework . 
the consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises do not benefit yet enough of the internal market , including the introduction of euro enshrines the completion . 
moreover , the latter have so far obliged banks to communicate with cross-border payments of over eur 12 500 to their central bank for the purposes of statistics in the balance of payments . 
these companies will obviously need to meet the same requirements in matters of safety and money-laundering . 
we even aware of cases in which charges for cross-border payments have risen later in the introduction of the euro , and this in proportions are considerable . transaction 
the european central bank could contribute by imposing a formula for remittance standardised for payments at european level , as well as by supporting the introduction of a single standard for the numbering of financial accounts within the international system iban . 
it is important that consumers acceptance of the euro . 
madam president , the report by mrs peijs , relating to payments in detail in the internal market , recapitulates the longstanding demand of the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border transfers within the union . 
the peijs report himself says in recital d of the draft resolution . i quote : " the high costs related to cross-border credit transfers undermine consumer confidence in the euro ' . 
we therefore still much to do in this area , but on this point , resources and means of economic policies are more limited than we can make to this question payments in detail in the internal market . 
the market of the euro is perceived as an area of justice and home affairs and citizens cannot understand why , in this area , where the risks involved in erm are spoilt and where electronic payments , including the banking transactions via the internet , are becoming increasingly currents , a remittance between munich and salzburg costs much more expensive than a remittance between munich and kiel . 
to this objective will require further , for you and us for many years of work . 
we also avail ourselves of the opportunity to consider the shorter time for the implementation of cross-border payments that the report by mrs peijs requests emphatically . 
the debate is closed . 
it seems a good policy to prefer a pragmatic approach and vicinity , which puts the small business at the heart of the device , rather than a proposal which , pretext to avoid the scattering of resources , not serve only to produce a fair statistics whose use practical would be perfectly possible . however 
specifically , i have three comments to make on this programme . 
we must remember that the first programme of community action in this area has been adopted in 1983 , i.e. there must seventeen year-olds . 
furthermore , i have always tried to achieve these objectives through an effective political and pragmatic . 
i would say that they are real economic commandos and innovation , situated on the front line and very exposed to risks inherent in this area . 
we will finally to take into account the results of the work of the symposium sciences and governance ' , which was held last week in brussels under the auspices of the centre of technology foresight in seville , as well as the follow-up to this symposium , because there are many interfering with the subject we are debating today . - 
the rapporteur identified a number of priorities designed to strengthen the spirit of enterprise level . 
it is good for the image of europe , because we can help the people of promptly , accurate and appropriate . 
mr president , i too would like to join in expressing my gratitude for the excellent work done by mrs montfort . 
the important thing is to find the right balance , to avoid that some people will not fail constantly at the expense of others . 
this is not fair , and i therefore support this report ! 
this is also the guiding principle of the charter for small businesses . 
the programme will ensure that networks provide this information . 
it is obvious that the main purpose of this plan is to stifle the exodus towards the countries of the european union , together with repatriate people who live illegally within the union . 
i specifically underlines the need for implementing measures to improve internal security , the strengthening of the dialogue between europe and regional authorities to albania and , as regards the commission and the council , the promotion of separate actions in cooperation with the albanian authorities , italy and greece . 
the absence of social , economic and political , combined with a lack of security and to organised crime inducing on flow of migration , droves . reports 
mr president , unlike my colleague mrs pack , in my view is that there will be groups which will give to albania , the better . 
it is clearly not possible to find a solution in its entirety , but in a slightly longer term , the aim is to create a world of fairness and right , which offers falsifiers safety and opportunities for the future . immediately 
there is also a chasm between , on the one hand , the donors , i.e. we all know , europe , the united states , which suspicion of money , which shaping projects , and the other hand , people who work on the ground . 
let the bilateral agreements , which , in a lawful and clear , the work of the length of stay , the place of residence , the remuneration , hours , working conditions and social security , so as to what the emigrants become a force which invests in value of our countries and will contribute to the friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to cultivation of aspirations nationalists and worthy of the cold war . economies and définiront 
men and women are re-exported so that they were more or less integrated . 
priority must be given the means to restrict the flow of migrants and refugees , but at the way to improve the living conditions of the region of such a way that people did not have to leave their homes . 0-26 
mr president , i too believe that , as has rightly said , there is still at the heart of what constitutes the difficulties of albania - economic , social and internal security - the question of helping these countries to re-establish its state of law , to give security to its citizens , to restore the authority of its institutions and its local administrations . if mrs dimitrakopoulos 
i share the opinion of our colleague mr liese , whereby we need to establish a distribution of the policy on asylum and refugee policy . 
the action plan for albania has been adopted in june this year , and it is therefore the 6th of its kind . 
you see , in the population , a frustration , but also a ignorance of community law . we invite the european parliament and the other eu institutions should not shy away from the small business painful , to work with precision , to spend time and staff necessary to the performance of duties . disseminates 
with this report , we want to show citizens that we take seriously their complaints relating to the poor quality of legislation as well as those relating to regionalisation and at the centralisation excessive . 
the subject is of course important , even if the small number of those present to discuss it does not give necessarily supposing at first sight . 
in addition , and this is an essential point , the report tackles the issue of subsidiarity , which tonight , raises the controversial in this chamber . 
it would also very interesting because it takes an overview of the legislation in the light of this principle , making it simpler , more transparent , more efficient and more relevant in the densities texts redundant , as invites paragraph 6 of this report . 
having studied the report with great attention to , i have come to the conclusion that it is simply not even have a political principle but with a principle theological . 
we must therefore ensure recognition of the principle of subsidiarity until the smaller groups , realities , access to training , social families and citizens who are unique real sovereign on action legislative and administrative . autonomous constellations intermediaries , 
i shall therefore give you a brief overview of the situation . 
i give the floor to commissioner . 
what is an area where we should move towards a detailed regulation , with the guarantee that it will be implemented everywhere or should we move towards a voluntary agreement , provided that it can be implemented and controlled ? 
- ( de ) i voted in favour of the report , even if some of my amendments were not adopted , it is because it focuses too on the question of high costs of exchange rates and remittance in euroland . if 
when , in around fifteen months , the same coins and notes will be introduced in eleven member states , it will cost to obtain this new currency unit outside the country where one thrives . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to begin by saying that i regret that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , cannot be here today . 
it should encourage cooperation in fisheries and the moroccan fisheries sector and the same time comply fully with the interests of fleets faring . 
we consequently have reached a consensus to work with the prospect of a responsible partnership , whereupon morocco presenting its views at a meeting to be held , as you pointed out , in brussels on 30 october , i.e. monday . 
a few weeks ago , i myself went to algeciras , on the south coast spaniard . this is not far from morocco . 
over time , we saw that they were not only difficult but also that they could become impossible . 
by means of fisheries agreements , the european union can exert of fishing activities and exchanging prerogatives fisheries agreements with third countries . 
i read in a reshaped technical swedish fisheries debate on how one of these vessels débarque its decision to el aaiún , which is described as a port moroccan . 
all this is being put to the tormentors . this is the whole of our fisheries agreements and not just with morocco because there is also mauritania and shortly guinea , amongst other things - who are second-guessed . 
it took eleven months to get to the point where we are now , namely the meeting on 30 and , in this sense , we also know appreciated the latest measures taken by commissioner fischler , the results of its journey from 26 to morocco and the meetings held at a high level , including with king . self-consciousness of focus 
but i would like to convey to the commission , today worthily represented by commissioner busquin , some messages very brief . 
my question to the commission is : if one does not reach an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is reached in terms reported by the commission , an agreement which stimulates production , the commission intend to take structural measures to compensate for the delay which will happen in the regions affected ? moroccan 
as foreseen , the difficulties of negotiating with the moroccan authorities have been considerable . 
finally , in the case , regrettable , where the negotiations fail , the european union has the political and moral duty to support fishermen and shipowners aid by means of satisfactory and capable of securing their livelihoods . 
we must reduce the over-capacity of the fishing industry community-related . 
that is why we need urgently to a close economic and political relations with morocco , while at the same time defending the interests of our european fishermen . 
that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership seeking an interesting development both sides , on the one hand , the development of the fishing fleet , aquaculture , transformation of trade , research and the other hand , the granting of fishing opportunities for european fishermen . scrutinised morocco , with 
the rights of language lecturers 
the difference is clear , and not just in german . 
in july 1999 , the commission has brought this infringement proceedings before the court of justice . 
therefore , at least that we do not manage to harmonize systems - what we hope - at the moment , the principle of subsidiarity cannot afford to be done switching to a discrimination which is much more likely , is the demand for a privilege . 
we can probably concede that the previous commission , that of mr santer , was not the best , and that is why it is in went . 
the members of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market of the whole union and for all parties , have met to proclaim the unnecessary to talk about human rights and to recommend the adoption of charters of rights if , in situations where people are deprived of their rights , it does nothing for these rights to be recognised and respected . this is the problem in this case . actual 
this attitude is entirely unacceptable in a modern europe . 
the field of education smacks of subsidiarity , but within the framework of the treaties , the free movement of workers and the ban on discrimination against our own at all , although we - and particularly moi , because i come from a state fédératif - we were to say supporters of the subsidiarity principle , a matter of cooperation within the european union and that we engage in order for the allocation of competences between the levels in europe are classified as soon as possible under the principle of subsidiarity . obviously still are very as 
in this context , it can no longer be any question of discrimination . 
you , mr president , cure someone who is familiar with the terms and surgical in italian , english , french , german , or by a surgeon ? do you feriez-vous by 
( the sitting was closed at 10h56 ) 
we their express our deepest sympathy . 
i give the floor to mr ceyhun , who will speak as rapporteur , on behalf of the socialist group . 
as regards the council and commission statements on the third asiaeurope meeting , the council has informed us that he does not wish to speak at this moment . 
consequently , it is an issue which , under the treaties and the euratom treaty , is the responsibility of the commission ; it concerns , or could affect , many citizens who are not exclusively spaniards because there are , in this area and in its region , without there being any contingency plan , hundreds of thousands of citizens from fifteen countries of the european union , not to mention many people who come from outside to exploit the costa del soil . 
madam president , it is sad to hear from the minister for internal spanish , mr mayor oreja , declared that it serves no purpose to engage in dialogue with basque nationalists and this , even if a new cease-fire was stated in the future . , albeit very revealing , 
allow me to ask that we look at this week a commission statement on the british government 's decision to introduce a tax discriminatory charges for road hauliers non britons . 
given that parties that being said liberals and even europeans are increasingly oriented towards ally itself with the forces of inspiration xenophobic and racist and authoritarian , i believe that this is not only a very real danger for italy but also a sign of something which affects the whole of europe . 
my report contains nonetheless raises serious criticism with regard to the french proposal . 
these applications are expressed in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . 
the initiative by the french presidency that we are discussing today has to be subject to improve both conventions on mutual assistance in criminal matters - as i already mentioned - particularly in the fight against money laundering . broad-brush 
i must admit that if the project of the fight against money laundering has suffered a loss , this is not just the fault inappropriate for parliament , but the council . 
we can only congratulate them on this work . 
naturally , the way forward , as mr marinho - i agree with you - is communitarisation . 
all those who have spoken have agreed that it was an excellent initiative , and we support its content . 
what is needed , is that europol can operate across borders . 
these events are occurring all too often in our europe of today and , before i give my support to the mutual hasty , i would like to see a mutual recognition of standards equitable . 
i realise that it is difficult because we must build on the basis of instruments dispersed . 
but it is also a need to strengthen the economic pole represented by the european union and the wishes of the citizens whom we must take into account because the european union citizens are entitled to safety . tallies 
in the european union , we must relentless fight against money laundering , bearing in mind that we need a political cooperation and judicial effective cooperation between member states , as effective as possible , especially since the creation of a single market and the liberalization of capital markets and financial services . pertinacity 
with regard to the council financially , there is nothing to suggest that lawyer did not exercising its profession as such . 
similarly , i would like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the question raised by various members on the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal professions may constitute a refusal founded on judicial cooperation in combating money laundering . 
this is particularly true as regards serious crimes and the most serious crimes on a trans-border dimension . 
as a whole , the mission is so broad and very important that it cannot be performed by the council alone . 
it follows that it is necessary to reinforce the rights of citizens adopting an effective instrument and to recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly with regard to its right to interpretation , and in its power to decide whether or not . 
therefore , although i am in favour of strengthening cooperation and coordination , i think that making this a legislative system would be wrong , and we will do . 
the second point i would like to raise is also interesting . 
this is a positive initiative , and we must therefore rejoice that she receives such support in this house . 
i shall take the opportunit
