we are well aware that the relevant treaties are inadequate and be a different , more efficient structure for the union must be developed , namely a stronger institutional structure pronounced by a clear demarcation between the powers of the member states and the competencies of the union . it is initially embassies of concern about the economic and social difficulties we irrespective of constant growth as a result years efforts made by each of our fellow citizens are confronted . the current situation , the especially for many self-employed hauliers , for agriculture is unfeasible , must certainly be improved . the accommodation of the rules of procedure are good in itself , but we must ensure that the system is not as a political schlagwaffe can use . and now you have the right mince in glance , that you must follow . i agree with his warning against a for some tempting will return to the methods of intergovernmental cooperation . many of us want to see a federation of nation states on-going . it also implies that all its proper place will be taken . the rapporteur have levels of discussion underline and also the need to go further . self-evident but you can only endorse . the latter point , when we are facing a speech which the forces concerned study , but with them to become accustomed to them weigh must , as a political speech must always be realistic and is always the kräftesituation and which we all sought-after aims equation . i want us to take this closer cooperation , intervening in a few examples of the new performance of european socialists to submit . the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . amendment no 12 , the commission must reject . i am in favour of adopting regelungsentwurfs votes . i should , in the reports of the european court of auditors permanently aversion to low alerts pointed out that there are of greece to portugal and reoccur . so we have not voted in favour . the intermediaries , such buses not only cheap and globally applicable , but also to more environmentally friendly , but their fuel consumption per passenger is less . the report also calls for setting benchmarks in relation to the dissemination of best practices in the eu to . a binding charter and all-embracing with recoverable right could at some later date to create difficulties . i thank both for the sterling work they have done . we believe not , for having already for less than three months in nice will be concluded . for that reason alone we cannot vote in favour , the charter 's summit in nice in the treaty . the csu-europagruppe rejoicing that with this schlussentwurf the charter of fundamental rights which the citizens of the institutions of the eu rightful fundamental rights boiled down and be made visible . it is a reflection of emerging liberal europe . as i was liked of this charter will continue to be used , as many ngos from different eu member states have proposed . ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró on hungary [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; i therefore propose to you that for us as parliament next year generalbericht shall no longer present , but just länderberichte to make it clear that there is a different state of negotiations concerns . my feeling is more that the french presidency on the basis of the work of previous presidencies and the commission will be in a position - at least i hope that , at the nice summit a fairly accurate overview of the accession process to be . as i mentioned here again , the french presidency will none of the difficulties evade that would not mean that we are timing and the possibility to each of these difficulties auszudiskutieren . this question is , of course perfectly understandable , but we need to opportune and appropriate response will be . it is quite a perspective which , to stop at großherzigkeit and enlightened must tackle . no one result of the intergovernmental conference would give mammoth anpassungsdruck enlargement justly . the second major change we are seeing and on which europe is discontinue need to understand the speedy speeding-up of economic development towards a global market and to the global competition . fourthly , it follows another principle that the member states , the eventually have started to a fair chance to do aufzuschließen , which were started . where copious and long-term investment is needed in order to eu standards can be reached , should be remembered that the existing members in this case lengthy transitional periods it took . for border security and crime-fighting will also be our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . now let us just the current trade between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . fortunately , the commissioner has at last give citizens first communicated to the fears that are discussed , be groundless . one thing is clear - and i welcome the fact that the commissioner that stressed again : a transitional period in which respect democratic rules cannot exist . they require aid from the commission , because there is a lack of determination at times of the relevant munitions . that is necessary for us as the european union goals can be asked to the internal reforms to a conclusion . but there are important issues and , in which we disagree . this runs counter to european union , its future independence in respect of north america and a common european defence and security policy , because it involves risks for the relationship with russia and other countries . what we are , however outcome , and we want to make what in preparation for enlargement should be done , not on for another intergovernmental conference postponed indefinitely . i shall be brief and which i earlier have been doing that than me to my first speech three minutes i have not taken earlier . this is very important , and i am very pleased that the commission of an information campaign operates according to the words of commissioner verheugen both comprehensive and decentralised would take . however - and it is my final word , because i want to make this quite clear that i am not a pessimist - well in this respect , i am not at present , to give a clear message in favour of enlargement - to credible , we must remain seriously , we must be understood , one has the support of the people , the people of the candidate countries and also our people , winning . at the moment i see no need to surrounding enlargement on the financial perspective to discuss . from a single i can say today ! this is also the reason why incidentally you also have expressed a wish to join the european union . we will present the various rapporteurs to speak . i have the responsibility for delegated to the report on the request by estonia to join the european union to implement . conservative would i very careful with taxpayers ' money to scuppering . i believe that there would be ignorant of it , with the people of latvia in recent years have carried out . this is not enough , the whole strategy must focus more on the citizens be planned . lithuania has very great potential for a long-term economic growth . in the broadest sense , it was the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . another point is the neuralgischer public support in and outside the european union . as a result of a careful look amounted direct foreign investment in last year to more than 5 ,45 billion euros . we should not intervene , not even we germans ! slovakia 's democracy is being developed stable , and in this area , we have already seen more . in my speech i will be the six points in the development of the situation in hungary and to systematisieren which , in the light of joining the union which are important . that is why i am glad that this issue in the general report of the honourable member brok on enlargement has been included . this was probably not under any more about to be on the subject of nuclear power , where there is a risk that the lobby of kernkraftgegner the legitimate concerns about nuclear safety and environmental protection for their own ends usurpiert . i would like to thank mr being in favour of setting up a high-level group commended . the report , which also unanimously approved in committee will not concluded that the part of the territory belonged to the legal authorities attached to the copenhagen political criteria fulfilled . this is where the important role the high representative for the javier solana , to which the role of the commission obviously are not prejudiced . the main problem maltese but remains in the fact that the accession process of government and opposition judged differently , and the european union stresses that the accession process continuously components . even the united states and mexico , the level closer together . this is why we in the field of internal market for a sensible , flexible and the challenge appropriate strategy self-destruction . let me at here but also express my respect for the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe to have a decade ago have had the courage to which strasse to go , and the process of taking shape eventuality . the information society is important for the old akin to the new economy . let us not be given by the percentages of national legislation in umgesetztes community law merely drink berth . the ten new countries of eastern europe have such a rich erbonkel not anywhere else in europe . that also applies to the , subhuman and transport of live animals to the slaughterhouses . now we are in a regulation , which affects all the main acts to assess the health implications for it . in my opinion be extended to the european union picked up and be stated that the european fund for regional development continue to be based on a tight financial distributed amongst the regions and areas can be given . elmar brok is right in his speech by the reminder embarked on everyone here to the beneficiary of enlargement will be , in particular , we on this side of the current external frontier . the binnenschiffverkehr will be important for environmental reasons , because we massengüter off the roads must be given and , if we do not by rail transport can , then we must waterways benefit . even selfishness and not least populism have an influence , and the euro exchange rate has falling results will certainly also be a positive effect on . our message to the candidate countries is : do not by the size of these reports and documents upset . unfortunately , is currently too many parties its ideological federn abgestreift with the result that you too little ideals personify and to materialistisch organization . should it prove necessary , the unrestricted right to acquisition of land and eigenheimen suspend , let us do that . he has already exist , but it will probably by bureaucratic lack of transparency and apparent , but not publicly-expressed resistance of some governments jeopardized . what is in fact the millions of jobs which the maastricht treaty would bring ? while we have here is that contracts restructured to be praying for some people the forthcoming reform . almost all international studies show arising from enlargement to macrofinancial profits towards that . however , the main aim of slovene policy - the early application joining the european union - although a number of non-significant minority of any political grouping called into question . will the union 's enlargement promptly carried out , this would greatly decentralised materialize , contained in the eldr group in its opinion on enlargement formulated . it is also clear that this is the country typical submissive well-ordered anstaltsregime long-term consequences for the health of orphans hooliganism . i ask you to support the corresponding amendments . and even the european politicians , have insufficient insight into the negotiating process . cyprus is almost as a bridge to countries in the area wanting . i wish the negotiators will continue to luck in this important area . the second type of communication is naturally important between our countries and the enlargement countries , in order to get to what the nature of the european union . we cannot afford , even more of impetus from the beginning of the 1990s losing . mr president , firstly , as rapporteur of the socialist group of the report on romania 's rapporteur on her excellent produced input . for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , there is a challenge , but also the fears of our own public grown to demonstrate , once again , the nerve to the aspirations and the visionskraft the founding fathers of europe to be found . unfortunately i have the impression that this process of enlargement despite many fine words and despite hard-working öffnens and schließens numerous chapters of the council incompatible with the necessary political pressing on it . many countries of the union was at times of development with similar problems and can bulgaria advised to help , present-day solving problems . democracy is not just a question of majorities , but more importantly , a question of proper co-decision of minorities . the applicant countries should treatment and their accession can only for its development depend upon . at the same time we should recognize , with as much support country like lithuania , try prodigal boden wettzumachen . so it is in our interest to our legal and freiheitssystem up to romania to be extended , and this certainly at a crucial debate with our public justification . with regard to an issue reigns over there , however , wide agreement , which is enlargement . my group therefore supports the duration of transition periods in environmental matters to a maximum of five years . mr president , we really must be a positive move in the enlargement slip . it goes further than the order of the accession of candidate countries to discuss , partly because it does progress in internal reforms should be judged . i am pleased that this report is so positive and that slovenia , as i was the head of delegation on several occasions overhaul it , and the commissioner has been so many times in this count massively has initiated , to fulfil the criteria . i think that the proposal for worthy of discussion . these forms of violence and trafficking in women are seriously by all means available both in the eu as well as in the candidate countries reprehensible and help combat . finally i would like to take this opportunity to thoughts and the concerns of many others , that it deem necessary , at long last , extensive the issue of europe 's borders and thus the size of its enlargement and the possibility of producing a light on this report by the european parliament to consider . - the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . thank you . in this house is justified repeatedly pointed out that in a europe of citizens civil rights in the law of the union enshrines these . i shall now put the request for postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the vote . we know , it looks at the undesirable substances that are concerned , rarely to troublesome toxic substances are involved , but rather of the long term influence , consumer and akkumulierbare substances such as dioxins , aflatoxin and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . we are able to sinner cannot currently find it . when these verschneidung permits , it must at least an application of the supervisory tasks , and it must be made public , that these verschneidung exist , because this issue also needs to the public to know and are being debated . one thing must be clarified . the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal acts against the schemes . mr president , i should like to thank the members who spoke before me . it was essential . the limit value for fishmeal differs from , for example , the limit , which is not out of marine organisms engineered products manufactured proposes . it is time for us to the dangers interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity , with which the patronage of our nations by brussels routinely developed , to put an end . i share the rapporteur 's opinion that the measures proposed are justified and the substances listed must be controlled , though this in itself not toxic are , in the conjunction with other substances but heightened values displaying . unfortunately , a lot of überliefertem out of any bauernverstand during the industrial agriculture , where the animals on production units and commodities curbed which have been lost . the new regulations will be the most comprehensive and complex hygieneanforderungen out on numerous directives have been distributed , merged , harmonisation and simplified . the number of people who the ingredients absolutely question is , according to my research relatively small . secondly , overcoming indicates , but rather to farmers , who are the producers of feed materials are and they will be much more partien of ausgangsprodukten demolish them . compensating is needed , although undisputed is that farmers too , a great responsibility for animal welfare costs . on amendment no 18 explicitly urges that water in the definition of feedstuffs schemes . on the basis of the scientific risk assessments will it take the member states suitable measures to set limit values for these substances in animal feed commended . according to the examination of the amendments proposed in this part-session are tabled , i welcome parliament 's support for this proposal . overall , the commission 15 of the 27 amendments condoned . i assume that the time cannot be successful . the commission has promised that she will work , and it has also announced that it is not until tomorrow will be completed . farmers need time elaboration , at least in question and in prozentangaben , as it and to what extent in these compound contain should be . let me finish by thanking the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , and also mrs roth-behrendt sincerely for their reports thanking and hope that the council on this issue a constructive attitude and that is how we work together to a transparent system of futtermitteldeklaration parallel . all that we have clearly the tragedy with bse attributable to the turned into a real novel by several areas has developed . pollutants which the health of humans and animals influences , are unacceptable . but let us start with the good . this proposal will mark a number of initiatives , both on the white paper on food safety anchored . thank you , commissioner . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy as a member of hungary to join the european union and the progress 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 as a member romania to join the european union and the progress of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] the third and perhaps most assumption is that the council on new institutional agreements reach agreement , which the efficient , effective and democratic functioning of the community for enlargement ensured . for this greater europe should rather these institutions are being planned who took the development of the east promoted , but also room for sovereignties and differences berth . this excellent principle should in fact , within the european union as well . finally , i would like to stress that the enlargement process progressively , in accordance with the anpassungsfortschritten for applicant countries must be carried out . in the current context and in view of voices that are beginning to listen , and that the enlargement of the european union into question , it is important that parliament send a clear political signal for enlargement multiplies . the european union serves since its establishment of juxtaposition of peoples . the criteria of the council in copenhagen in 1993 to democratization and the competitiveness strengths under the guise of ' acquis ' the rule whenever unbridled capitalism . destructive . under these circumstances would be headlong concerning enlargement in increasing the populist and faschistoiden excesses which in many places are signs that lead . we have just on the agenda for this sitting will report on the opportunities for men and women , who again illustrates how to reconcile this with the acquis communautaire in practice it is precisely in this sector is happening . we all agree that poles of kopernikus and johannes-paul ii. access to the european parliament refuse to 1956 budapest in battered hungary or the symbolic tallinn prague , in which people 's democracies once the head of state by a fenstersturz absetzten and the people of jan palach which focuses on the freedom opferte , forcibly niederhielten . the wider europe with more tasks and responsibilities needs new and more financial resources . as an offer to the mature citizen and the pensioners in estonia my greetings and hope that we ensure viel , you a existence within the european union as possible . if latvia to continue making progress and the european union 's institutional bodies and policies adapted was to be able to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why latvia not within the union should be discussed . if lithuania continue making progress and the european union 's institutional bodies and policies adapted was to be able to cope with enlargement , i see no reason why lithuania outside the union should be discussed . also , the environmental sector , with the advent of the ' national fund for environmental protection and applying the polluter pays ' noticeable progress . if the union poland 's door to our common house opens , makes it with regard to this neuankömmling equity - a equity which that country for too long been deprived . i look forward to the imminent accession of the czech republic to the european union . . i welcome the report by mr queiró on the request of hungary to join the european union and treats the bulk of its conclusions encouraged . i hope that bulgaria in europe in the not-too-distant future joins . poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) it is a balanced and fair contribution which the council seriously aware of it . in this context , i hope that negotiations are under un auspices with success , so that the greek and the turkish population group in cyprus together on the benefits of membership with a reunified republic to benefit . i welcome the report by mr poos as a member of the republic of cyprus to join the european union . but we consumers are on stretch at the end of the food chain , so the last sammelbecken for modified and verfälschte foods . our focus in particular to ensuring that food safety at european level and in evident from stable or from the field to the table delivered . precisely because we support the extension genuinely country greater solidarity and equal cooperation between all the member earth stand , we have no intention to with our vote farcical worthwhile . the council inform parliament before the vote in committee , but so quickly that this deliberately further talks with me , and parliament have been avoided . in my report i have not only greater representation and involvement of ngos , greater accountability to parliament , to submit an annual report and debate on this in parliament and the maximum transparency demanded , but i also said that the transfer discrimination recognizing and the memory of the past alive to adhere to it in the fight against prejudice to exploit . there will legitimate interests of employees . the social partners are the main responsibility in terms of the rules of diskriminierungsfragen at work are best placed to workable solutions to work . jenny , coordinator of the access-charter-gruppe and was mine amongst the public hearings on article 13 invited . in practice because directives and action programmes incentives to offer that member states in the fight against discrimination on the same basis as our basis , and would allow the commission , its role as guardian of the treaty estimation , or of societal consideration gathering . although the present legal basis funds for new preparative initiatives releases , could financing them in this category into a mittelreduzierung for other policies lead . this is a proposal for a necessary but insufficient framework directive , we will be able to have their mechanisms to some anwendungszeit to hone . i hope the commission will focus on the basis of this new directive due to the issue of sexual discrimination dealt with . i congratulate the commission and my colleagues who have worked on these reports . i welcome the recommendation of the mann report , weltanschaulichen organisations to allow , possibly as professional plea to the staff conditions to give to this recital referring . the fact that the institutions as soon abandoned the result of the amsterdam treaty were given new powers avail , proves that the european union in terms of equal opportunities continues to play a pioneering role , and for this , commissioner , i would like the european commission is particularly thank . the presence of discriminations many different kinds of our societies confirming the importance of this action programme , on the report by mr cashman is concerned . mr president , on behalf of the bonino list i should like to express our distress at the way the subject of discrimination , racism and xenophobia by this union and member states expression . can the commissioner explain why the commission that aspect ignoring ? the second is for me the problem that ngos , important as it were , there will be asked , whatever their size , nature and its actions concerning implementation to stay . the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , all this positive moves , and especially the activities of the european parliament , i also and above all , in particular , for the prevention of discrimination and to the best practices lodged . this is a challenge for us all , because we all people after the first impression evaluated . mr president , if we fight against discrimination and provisions into national law , then we should admit their existence and even the fact that one several of the expressions meanwhile ' legal ' that they have to alltagsbild belong . firstly , the unctad looks to the welthandels- and entwicklungskonferenz by the united nations , 1963 in geneva the principle of positive measures , that is the discrimination erected . the information and awareness raising acquire imparted a fundamental role in this area , they must equivalent preliminary work to be a new mentality , new misconception and behaviour kept in mind , so that this is still in the population wide-spread prejudices forever to sort out and all citizens real equality is guaranteed . so it is now important to with the two under discussion legislative initiatives forwards , too , highlighting some aspects of improved and the financing of the programme budget is increased , where the political importance of the fight against discrimination expresses . in particular , to reach agreement on the principle adequate fine-tuning , with due sweden and ireland played a pioneering role , it will ensure that the employer in europe adjust their jobs , sonderausstattungen acquire and their business as skew that disabled people genuine chance . the article 13 provides the basis for a new objective of the eu , combating discrimination or of inequality between citizens , for reasons to this rule are included . secondly , i would like to say that the commission with this first package unfortunately a serious mistake was made , isolating the reasons for discriminations in an order of precedence einordnet . mr president , discrimination on religious grounds is neither tolerable as any other form of discrimination . a great supporter of secularism is something i am therefore unable to endorse this thought . the noble idea that all citizens the greatest possible freedom to be granted provided you with equal intensity with freedom of the other is compatible , is still some obstacles to that part of factual , part of a legal nature . one of these directives was already in a very short time passes , and i am very hopeful that the others in november during the french presidency will be approved . some are not consistent with other provisions , such as the amendment on the procedure in the committee . i must reject amendment no 38 and the proposed deletion of the list of article 5 , in the allowable cases of inequality on grounds of age are included . you have an important issue as vertragseinhaltung at all . in this programme is the first time joint projects mapped out . it is obvious that the code of conduct is all the more effective , will be more countries are world-wide support . article 7 of the code undertake the member states to prevent arms to permissible endbenutzer shared . mr president , i admit that i am for the times zurücksehne , where the european parliament , but also of the various peace movements and trade union calls for reflection and measures to unremitting reducing production were obtained and it has put the question as to how arms production converted into a civil one might think . given the situation in which the world and our continent today , after the cold war and the collapse of the weapons of mass destruction aufrechterhaltenen balance of horror secured , is this type of behaviour irresponsible . these weapons are almost a symbol for the anarchy in many parts in the world . csfp includes measures to krisenbekämpfung from outside the union , but nothing that as a common defence policy could be described . these are intended to make the export of weapons of governments , which violating human rights , and in crisis or in areas where a rüstungswettlauf is taking place to prevent . the commission , in close cooperation with member states play an active part in drawing up a joint action of the european union to small arms and light weapons participated . the next item is the debate on the commission communication on the european research area . other elements , the introduction of a long-term timescales involved förderformen who half way between the projektförderung and institutional financing is shared by the use of laid down in the treaty futures ' multi-speed europe " , in particular , the union 's participation in national programmes , contained in article 169 of the treaty reimbursed . this hierarchisierenden character if we want to promote it , and depends on the förderform succeeding . you say you dächten of a total shake-up of the framework programme . i believe we need now something that the european research area a structure lends , that is something that goes on the framework programme , with the national employment plans only be built on and we need a strukturierendes element , so we need to introduce methodologies . what consideration with the stoa-referat is concerned , i believe we must work together to do so , since parliament , the centre and the zukunftsforschungsinstitute across the member states are affected . obviously the commission is moving resolutely towards the achievement of a european research area too . it is an entire sections on science and society , people are . there was contacts with the authorities greece , ireland and portugal , for the governments of these countries to the commission 's proposed in the context of the cohesion fund as soon as possible to implement . maybe this lack of a service , which you talked about and the reference in the last commission , which is solely the cohesion fund dedicated to bear some responsibility that they have no more detailed information . my second question is as follows : apart from the cohesion fund , the community support frameworks , the structural funds , the regionalprogramme etc. which countries have definitive plans you tabled and which scheme which country they have already approved ? in 1989 , the commission has presented taken by the flexibility should make . i know the comments of commissioner bolkestein to appreciate and i know there is one of the principles of the treaties is that foreign companies no longer afford allowed as domestic , but if the general rules for fair competition in europe also apply here , in cases disproportionately high taxation , we have the effect see the competition law in this situation could have , though universally valid , that these matters the competence of member states apply . if you fuel savings are to be able to accept this and not by levies by other besteuerungsformen . mr purvis , i wish to say that the issue of natural , regional disadvantages probably a matter for national governments are , however , some of the electorate in those far-flung regions and peripheral . mr president , thank you , commissioner , for your reply . last spring and sommer does the commission a comprehensive review their activities and their staff resources carried out . there are such tasks . they are being increasingly by tourists and merchants exploited , that remarkably often come from europe . the commission believes that all companies will be in a position to take promptly to the final changeover to euro profitability , including the adjusting their computer systems and the software heeded . the theoretical political discussion is no longer on the agenda , we can set the threat of a referendum in general evaded , but perhaps on another occasion . this also applies to rises . only recently , to the french authorities a erinnerungsschreiben sent . on the applicant countries may i inform you that on this subject meetings with them have taken place and interim agreements were concluded . during the frühjahrsaussaat did the commission cases of objections imported seeds of various conventional plant varieties on board , including cotton , the traces of genetically modified seed herself . having myself back with his department kurzgeschlossen have , i am able to inform you that basic safety requirements in relation to computerausstattung for private use in an official or directive on electrical product , the so-called niedrigspannungsrichtlinie and also in the directive on funkanlagen and equipment are laid down . it would , in my opinion affiliate that taking account falsely distinguishes between safety and security in classrooms - or rather the safety of a child , i too hall on computers sits ? perhaps schüttelt he set out by president khatami . aung san suu kyi lives now de facto under house arrest . this is why i am very hesitant , trade starker involve or other measures relating to trade and investment respected . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : it purchased they , for example , wahlkampfveranstaltungen who have visited there . questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . we advocate a consolidated european report which and approved by this house should be publicized . rather than to how we manage the other weapons producing countries of the world can compete , we should instead be to switch to civilian production concentrated . the five permanent members of the security council , who must actually consists of using about our security charged with monitoring , should heed these proposals and as quickly as possible negotiate an agreement which twenty-first century is unfit . the debate today represents a significant step in the reform process , which the commission under mr prodi nearly a year ago was introduced . for me is concentrated on the idea that the commission in the race for producing a proposal within the reformweißbuch fixed time frame has been unable to all the various points shrewd arbitration . so i suggest that , in both the auditor and the internal auditor full annual reports on their work build alleviation . in the van hulten report is the advocated by the commission dividing-line rightly aggravated and a sound approach for the exchange of best practices between the institutions imperatives . that is to be here hopefully not again . if we made in the big institutional issues , then , the committee of wise men 's call for the independence along the line pass . in the past we have very often seen too long in the decision-making processes applicants to disillusionment and at a loss of confidence in the european institutions have produced . i would like to thank the commissioner say that this report is only an intermediate step . it means that it started to build a bridge between the current system of controls and the one we after the reform intend to achieve it . that is the proposal which is available . only if they are capable of being too that sampling , selecting which frequently is monitored , watered down . on simple declarations and we are all aware that this is certainly not an easy thing to do this . i refer of course , that we neither politicians nor as an technologists whatsoever , are capable of tackling the problem alone . fortunately , increases , but the overwhelming majority of children and young people in an environment in which none of these problemmerkmale growth . i agree with the commission president unreservedly agree that such a list which reminiscent of constitution has to be worked out bathroom . it gives me self-evident that the principle of subsidiarity must be strengthened and that the eu from many areas of policy keep , which has functions not transcend borders . information from around the world and all wissensgebieten be within a short space of time joining supplied , and that communicate revolve around the world as on their everyday lives . they have been quickly arrested and avowed vis-à-vis the policemen , ' is indeed strange , in the sets will not be so quickly taken . legislators - and i shall conclude - cannot regulate everything , but they need some of the rights and obligations of each memory . furthermore , i appreciate the remarks to education , training the ability of the verstehens pictures and of making the younger generation , the media critically to consider and will not be anything , sometime , somehow doing . nothing will consider its remaining in the wake of insights harmful effects , as if a report like this without any progress , or at any greater mobility makes or at least not managing to remove the barriers that threaten the ausbildungsmobilität today concerns . in the various countries are different solving problems : it is , for instance , different rules in the fields social security , grants , aufenthalts- and tax law or in the absence of a common recognition of qualifications and praktikumsaufenthalten . it is time that europe 's proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe again draws attention to . the experience of the mobility of students and teachers reveal that the real shortages and not primarily in education , but at the social and fiscal and immigration are . as an example of this was the socrates programme listed . it is a clear procedure , a clear control when there are also spot checks , and in particular , is a beratungsstelle , a web-seite being established , where the students their complaints attachment calamities . we therefore wish to include the self-employed research scientists within the scope of the recommendations . yet it is easier said than done . the debate is closed . we appreciate your approach , which is on prototype of president jacques chirac or by foreign minister , joschka fischer orientation . the union must in foreign policy with one voice and a common defence and sicherheitsfähigkeit develop . what we need is a entscheidungsforum to solve the problems which , on both sides of prime importance , as evidenced by migration , the relocation of production factors or energy supply . in the resolution on the reports of the commission , on the afterwards they are to vote on the issue is very closely dealt with . by the commission has prepared indicators will assess the progress made possible . apart from the meeting of ministers and the kolloquium on equality at work if there are two important particularly for equal treatment devoted to make in the area of the council meeting on employment and social affairs ' falling texts are mentioned . the second concerns the principle of non-discrimination , including the prohibition of sexual discrimination . on the reports , i would like to say , the president-in-office has also mentioned - that the important cultural differences , of course one of the great problems in the eu operates . both the reports we are debating here , reflect the wider . we must check that the directive on equality genuinely impact on the legislation will be taken . i believe that this detected in finland procedure established for very many areas can be implemented , and all of this as part of the gleichberechtigungsstrategie the commission , expect much allowed . on behalf of the equal opportunities , french women thanks to the european union 's right of night work garnered . as a french citizen , i such a perspective of the world in heavily alien . despite these observations we will vote for this report , because we are naturally in favour of equal opportunities , but equal opportunities means firstly that everyone into consideration . who mothers free choice is taking their own children without remuneration to educate people to give sooner or later the bill in the form of juvenile and vandalism presented . let me remind you here of our report on splitting the rentenrechte in divorce , that categorising performance in the survivors and the retirement age in the directive of 1979 involved . the polish women were are very grateful that we have made it clear that the representative who was there , not the position of polish woman has reproduced . greater involvement of women at all levels of government and in all walks of life is an essential factor in the deepening of democracy , respect for the achievement and the preservation of peace . finally i should like to refer to the situation of women in the member state which themselves for accession to the european union preparations . the council , not least the men in it , is that in this area immense task to europe in the fight against the frauenhandelsmafia to conduct . stops for good politicians can these slave trade superseded , schulterzuckend disregarded or ignore . the reports and speeches which have been analysed , we can see from which many of us had been clear , namely that the issue of equal opportunities is structural in nature and global strategies for the solution is required , for we women are neither a category one homogeneous social group and neither are we saying collectively . indeed , along with some regret the fact that maria de belém roseira these items ceased bekleidet . two of its people have new sozialrechte , new steuerrechte asylum-seekers . thirdly , they are the basis of a strategy for the european union level , even in the charter of fundamental rights has been of great importance that we will have an overview of the current situation available - but also at national level , as the member states now by means of comparative assessment national targets can set . the joint debate is closed . these amendments need in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement should be understood , and that is why parliament cannot disregard the fact that at the restriction on comitology to exist , as you with the new interinstitutional framework to some extent immaterial have become . i nonetheless believe personally remains that the text adopted by parliament at that time the new realities of the internal market and opening up markets significantly better account bore , as the elements of monitoring and information , that in the not accepted amendments contain goods , greater certainty messengers that the rules are respected and of implementing the same procedure be applied to break-up . if we want to non-member states ' obligations accepted that , the european community as a first be careful to for compliance with its own regulations to ensure that , when a country has the power to products on schmuggelwege onto the market of the community to find out why should it not make the effort to meet us any permissions negotiate ? in this way will the amendment by parliament on the papierlose declaration , that the council has been taken , member states ' customs authorities to be given the highest standards automatisierten verwaltungsinstrumenten equip . but now it is too late , because you have just voted on consent and that the members advocated here . votes ( continuation ) report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the annual reports by the commission ' equal opportunities in the european union - in 1997 , 1998 and 1999 ' [ com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5 ­ 0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5- 0290 / 2000 -1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ] . ( fr ) i do not currently the first time an opinion on the mobility of students and teachers , either . this report is even greater importance to that , as it becomes a at the european union crucial time , that of enlargement , will be presented . discrimination is not by creating more administrations are combated , but only in people 's minds . . ( fr ) i am not in the mann report voted for , with all genuinely necessary striving for equal treatment in employment and occupation must therefore not yet in excess of zeal went so far as to ensure the protection of freedoms and respecting the rule of law and totally forgotten . as a representative of the secularism , the separation of church and state that i was able to approve this out . - the snp welcomes this directive and its objective , the discrimination at work to put an end . if the directive acceptable and feasible to be she should be with literature and wishful thinking congested carried out in a legislative text have no place . uneasy the eplp has , however , on the following areas : it issues such as the implementation altogether , training for certain age groups of workers that different types of schlichtungssystems and the interpretation of the directive on the part of the smes should be in our opinion , be left to the member states . quite rightly makes mr van hulten in the interview from that we will only on a positive agenda can begin , if we problems such as fraud and waste , but also a lack of efficiency and effectiveness of decision-making handle them . the reasons why i voted for the report are primarily with the question of closer relations between the european union and nato and the rapid introduction of a common defence system . the report also the european waffenausfuhr as a solution for future regional conflicts in border areas of europe discussed . however , i cannot agree to that which calls for a common defence policy and a european security and defence policy within nato is connected . . ( el ) the children are the main victims of violence on television . i welcome the results of this study now before us . at community level we will also , in a expertenausschuss with the commission to draw up a memorandum , the general principles for the protection of minors in the media are concerned . dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) . ( el ) interestingly , it is the first time the need to recognize the effectiveness of the annual reports from the commission exerts political initiatives can be assessed . peru mr president , peru experienced at times of uncertainty , and all of us we hope that the current situation through a process will be resolved , in which all civil and political rights be guaranteed , of the strengthen and consolidate the peace and democracy in peru responds to a country which , in the last fifteen years 25 000 deaths intransigence . i give the floor to the stake , reads ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which last may in peru elections have been conducted , were unacceptable . b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the confederal group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . i therefore welcome the fact that the decision taken some significant items on the situation of women and launches 's warning about how important help you are , if we are dissolve discrimination against women that the taliban-führung preventing . the eu has an important role here . the acknowledgement that none of the member states , it must not happen , as long as the policy of human rights violations and in particular of systematic discrimination against women is continued . i and the fact that the funds from the producing drugs for sale of arms is used , we need to be in the european institutions on board . however , it neighbouring countries in increasing their ability to combat drugs keenly support . i think the time for suited to recall that the european union to compassionate policy towards latin america needs to work out who may could prevent that these countries periodically experiencing crises which have variously occurred . ladies and gentlemen , the commission as the house welcome the release of the spanish jesuitenpaters alejandro matos castro last week . b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : law on college or university . that is why we are all very pleased that the problem of higher education has at last perhaps a very good way forward to cites . i think this is essentially a good example of all neighbouring countries that on forming not only hate leads to be just as it now as often happens , but that education and as cradle to a peaceful , multi-ethnic society can be used . i should also like that we have found a solution which all parties in parliament were able to support . here i should perhaps take the opportunity to point out that the commission in cooperation with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , we have been useful hooliganism . with today 's debate we shall not only express our condolences to , first and foremost , we are talking about what has happened . there has been , as we in the future remedy cannot , as of now , the commission and the european parliament , we can help make up a sort of incident not again taken place . in any case , we have come to this joint resolution agreed and support him in this way and urgent debate , and for the reasons i explained earlier , we are against the amendments which are also under urgent procedure tabled . on the amendment on working conditions , the matter has been the subject of a directive , and the amendment is not in any case so informative how the text itself . this is , in the northern and western islands of scotland unacceptable , nor for the explanatory crossing on the north sea on the continent , which i hope in the not-too-distant future is set up . i welcome the fact that the greek government that liberation meantime reinstated yesterday . therefore , the commission following the sinking of the express samina sank right back to the greek government ably by asking you , clarification of the application of existing community law to obtain . i would like to raise the question and i ask you to do in the bureau to investigate whether , under abolishing the friday sittings of fox side even the abolition of thursdays begins . i would like to say that from the european union 's arrangements set in motion , so that we , as soon as the will of the serbian people safeguarded , which means that whenever a by voters kostunicas backed government is formed , the following measures are : firstly , the immediate lifting of sanctions and secondly a wirtschaftshilfepaket in support of the serbian people in putting its economy . at this time on the streets of belgrade may decide whether the democratic change now espouse and whether it peacefully might arise . we condemn all activities which are to be regarded as a provocation , particularly on the holy places in jerusalem is concerned . we must put people - as mr solana has said - with the meeting in zagreb quite symbolic the shake hands . on schockierendsten is that the israeli police and military splittergeschosse have fought to the intrusion into the body in dozens of parts zerbersten , bullets and the international , even in fighting between soldiers , prohibited and now against civilians are used . i believe that europe can and must deal in this direction do , and i reject loud and sustained effort . it must therefore do everything possible to accommodate the schwelenden fire as quickly as possible in check . provocations , as the action of ariel sharon , must omitted . that is still the case and that is why the european union , as has been over recent years , in the middle east cannot act as to take over which you so that the usa alone their fate . we will be the serbian people not our lofty ambitions and moral sacrifice , because it would mean that perhaps thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia so die cells . finally , i propose , as soon as possible and as soon as a new yugoslavian government is formed , with a delegation from parliament is to travel to work with these new yugoslavian government plans for the creation of a new serbia to us . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , it is clear that we in parliament today may be a historic day experiencing , perhaps the end of the last leg a totalitarian dictatorships in europe . mr president , there is another problem : the german text for the urgency , except perhaps that in the other language versions too happens - except those tabled by the gue group abstained , but none of the resolutions and certainly not the joint text . mr president , i just wanted to our colleagues on the batch of draw attention to the illustrates just how documentation we this week for the vote has taken . if parliament 's council decision amending lodge could , i would also certainly high unemployment and social problems croatian out , resulting from the land mandated schlankheitskur revenue , but in this context , for those amendments no legal basis . this is an opportunity , the same objectives with regard to the eib 's activities should be required . mr president , yesterday evening , we are discussing serbia and the regrouping vollziehenden revolutionary changes spoken . i would therefore urge my colleagues , in particular , the council to call , in the months of negotiations on the budget for next year and for the years on as close to the commission proposal to remain which , in my opinion , the costs in croatia , and in other parts of the balkans , ever ideally commended hooliganism . in 1990 , the democratic elections which are under international judgment fair and free goods . therefore in favour of this financial assistance , yes to this valve , while the vigorous challenge to the european commission , this profoundly european and it will certainly be democratic and lawful governed nation massively supporting it in the number of applicant states to introduce , as i believe that croatia has our full backing deserved . like the rapporteur , i am therefore wondering whether the money really to be made available , particularly as beyond it appears that soon , large flows of money to serbia will have to and the union budget does not increase it . even the delegations of the croat and our parliament has asked the council , the mandate of the eib should be extended . i hope that soon contacts are as well as croatia and the serbian people , that our greatest respectable one , assistance is provided . ( parliament approved the minutes . in this respect , we are calling for the women in the european parliament to take part in this delegation to involve : on tuesday and wednesday we will launch an appeal , we will signatures collecting and the reports for the adoption of the delegation contrary to include , precisely with concerns , between the females bridges peace to propose , in a place where instead violence prevails . as a whole has been debated basques as well spaniards fresh conflicts added ; spaniards and basques have had enough of the current conflict . madam president , you will recall that i during the last part-session at the plight of the british verfechters of democracy james mawdsley , have drawn attention to that of the burmese authorities unlawfully stated . madam president , while i am really is the rule . this technically anmutende report , which cannot be a great political changes to introduce seems , is in fact , extremely important because it crosses indirectly introduces the possibility that genetic engineering in wine-growing apply and therefore genetically-modified products in the wine-growing should be . when we discussed the report not to vote , we will have a delay . the conseil d ' etat has - as you said - that appeal and rejected this vote has been engaged in properly informed . this does , however , such an event which helps colleagues applies , of course the ppe , rather than my political camp in italy 's government . this is why we great commitment to the introduction of a social scoreboards one , as well as for the internal market has been done , clearly measures by time-scales , with zeitlimits . hopefully , secretary , does the council of the expectations of the european parliament inspire , and hopefully they can , at the european council in nice ambitious aims at a european social agenda when agreeing to participate in it down in the coming years can work together . shortly after the informal council of employment and social policy on 8 july in paris was the chairing all the players involved - of course the european parliament , the economic and social committee , the committee on regional and social partners , ngos and the working groups and committees of the council - urged him to their proposals for forward . the debate on the encounters the quantitative and qualitative aspects is inappropriate and , in lisbon was obviously a dual purpose defined : more jobs and höherqualifizierte jobs . mobility must be promoted and also the protection of careers needs . we have to try to further in the system loopholes to specify and also to name and , in any case , on the agenda as well . the open coordination seems to us the right way to guarantee a social europe . the implementation of the lisbon promotes societal goals will require concerted efforts , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the service sector and in particular to the information society . the commission naturally has an important contribution , but the social issues are regionally down and must plenty of delicacy of the specific circumstances are treated . the social dimension served to offset the folgenschwersten effects of economic policy . it would have been better if the commission 's original proposal into leaving out as it were . congratulations commissioner . it is an ambitious agenda and i would also like to remind you , as well laboriously reached in the last parliamentary term in social protection stimulates attendance here . i think it would be clearly , the woman to help her family and working life reconciled . sometimes i feel that , with the concept modernizing often the erosion of the social protection is covered . what are the essential conceptual characteristics ? yet it is difficult to european objectives set , to all the member states alike are valid , as the reality is proving to be quite different . there have been 49 amendments by the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities presented . in an amendment proposes that annually in this parliament a debate on coupled with the commission to undertake . another point , the new community support for appreciating the need for additional efforts , including , if necessary , the implementation of legislation and equality and combating discrimination . it is in the past perfectly plenty of good ideas and plans to gender equality gemangelt , sadly , however , is applying it often failed . it is not acceptable that their voice of a handful of forderungsprofis in entire planet is taken to do with public money alive correctly . it aims to promote equality between men and women in the civil sector , which enabling women , in the full benefit of human rights can be reached . what i expect that , at last , the males players here commences and ancient gender role and stereotyped fight . we must do thanking her for them to this debate has taken , for your presence throughout this debate was not actually envisaged . competition policy we have our companies the favourable conditions answerable to make it their production and particularly in the future can plan . consumers should have access to a wide range of quality products to attractive prices have , and ultimately that is the reason that we talk in the single act and so on free competition is , because our citizens winners . that is the beihilfenentscheidung or nichtbeihilfenentscheidung in terms of coal . item 16 in the report by mrs riis-jørgensen demands greater certainty in applying the control of mergers and more efficient and more rapid time consideration in the case of anrufungen the courts . in all these cases involve public undertakings in its economic strength is not a complete management , but past or present monopoly thanks . we need increased involvement of citizens in the information about competition policy , and that he recognizes its advantages . they are in favour of the economy and employment in areas supremely important and i hope that this aspect in future stresses , so that these national subsidies for regional development and the regional economy , such as transport aid , weitergezahlt them . this communication contains three accurate messages . just as warmly thank mr evans for his excellent report relating to community rules on state aid to the steel industry and related to respect the commission report on state aid in the european union . the members mrs palacio and mr karas and other members who discussed these issues are , i would like to say that your concern in the regulation broadly taken into account . otherwise we would ourselves in our efforts to promote competition and consumer interests a great service . the debate is closed . with this system of financing is article 119 of the treaty implemented , which in the third stage of economic and monetary union simply needs to be the single currency acceding member states . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i am thankful that we are still on the proposal for a council directive amending directive 68 / 193 / eec on the marketing of material from vines have been discussing , and i hope tomorrow , at a favourable vote . some speakers on 5 july , the calling of beaune its concern regarding the introduction of gmos in their business expressed . the report contains provisions encourage further the cause of vielseitigem vegetativen propagating material , as you best-case gesundheitsgarantien offering regarding , for the effective support for restructuring the weinbaus within the community , the key element of the new com in wine , is urgently required . it has to loud and clear about that things are in no way has required , the rule that directive by references to the change in observes directive 90 / 220 fully to plug that unless you want the manipulation of weinreben everything in our power to push forward . 35 to nos 40 will be able to accept that aim to the security and managementerfordernisse according to directive 90 / 220 relentless to transfer . i would like to point out that parliament was not called , as such to respond . madam president , i refer to paragraph 14 of the protocol to the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . at the qualified majority , i wish to highlight . at the weighting of votes are also the two options are still on the table : the straightforward weighting of votes , for which there is a hauchdünne majority coming , or double majority , but on the basis of various formulae such as double simple or neugewichtete majority or perhaps a rather marked demographic network ' . furthermore , the european council regardless of bedarfsbewertung and coordination of economic and financial assistance to the federal republic of yugoslavia , that the european commission and the world bank jointly decided to be transferred to the federal republic of yugoslavia initial emergency humanitarian aid amounting to eur 200 million to be granted . when i say spontaneously and bluntly my opinion is , then we could say : how sensitive this matters , the composition of the commission and the voting procedures - may be , as the success or failure of nice will not be judged on . positively too was that the leaders of the charter of fundamental rights permission gave , but i should also like to remind you , mr president-in-office , why is this assent possible ? let the spirit of the nice not by verdruss situations , and it is for the remaining 50 days of primary importance that the negotiations on a political level to put forward . in this respect , i would also like to honourable members of the european people 's party abhor - and i would ask mr poettering that he was listening - as , for which we in parliament unfold , and we must also outside spectrum . after all that we have the results of the heads of government in biarritz concerning the most complex matters of treaty reform ashamed that the charter will probably the most trophäe at nice edge . the council would do the people of europe expect correspond to it wide consultation of the people , the national parliaments launched so that a charter to get that actually meet the needs are . therefore , any called upon for the sources of our union back to basics , to have the courage to mr giscard d ' estaing and mr schmidt rashly in that they 1976 and 1979 on the election of the european parliament in general and direct elections choice and making a decision on that we 2009 at last a president of the european union : the commission president , eventuality . in this respect , i would like to respond to what mr poettering on the gulfs between large and small countries has said . let me briefly mention the issues of external trade policy coordination , which is a very serious matter . this is certainly something valuable , that of the members of the european council has been highlighted . a second very positive aspect is the adoption of the charter as a whole . having said this , i believe that on this fundamental question for the future of the european union and for their decision-making in biarritz plus appear to be . i hope that we will be able , on that score persuading to progress , and here in nice to be applied . i have two specific examples : the right to work is the right to work thriller , and a number of in the revised social charter by the council of europe 's rights are not in the charter transposed . as for the talks indicating that the throughout europe , including biarritz , have been held , want the larger member states the smaller partly to a reform of the european union insistence that which larger member states direction taken and their desires responds . the discontent on both sides are the expression of a negotiator acting on a reasonable compromise hinbewegen . the governance of europe has no clear visions formulated . a commission which , in perimeter of representation of each member state is structured , testifies to little vision . in such a centralistic europe had the smaller countries less influence than the smaller states in zweikammernsystem of us . in the wake of the sharm-el-sheikh where everyone involved and to deal tried to bring about the strength to put a stop and dialogue between barak and president arafat again to set in motion , we have to say how difficult it is , though it to the appearance immunisation , as if the violence bezwungen them . bad whistle-blowers are clearly barón crespo persuade , things about italy and my party , to express the are untrue . the important thing is a step towards european energy tax , which thus far by the unanimity principle was blocked . we should not be the case with that in the small states fear of being , one could at direktoratslösungen dealings . in my view , the convention has produced an excellent piece of work , and i am also proud to me that body was allowed to sit on . as regards the second hypothesis that the question arises of how intervals the principle of focusing on large and small countries completely equal rotation should be applied . the extension of qualified majority voting , together with co-decision with important subjects , the maintenance of article 250 in its present form , the place and the commission 's role in the intensified cooperation and not just for the first pillar - these are some proposals by which we immediately cannot assess whether ultimate success or failure upon . mr president , first i would jacques , jacques delors , altiero spinelli and fernand herman thanking and all of vaclav havel up to carlo ciampi , of joschka fischer up to jacques chirac , by michel barnier pierre moscovici , to which chris patten to costa simitis , without florence and the large number of members present forgetting that ever since 1999 again for the great movement towards a european constitution has been campaigning . we ought to commercial europe not so much criticism - that tells them a socialist , because there is increasing wealth for all craft . let us at least on this objective achieve , and because we do this , we shall have to say , as is to be achieved . i am pleased to see that the recently at the igc proposals presented in fact wholly or partly with the views expressed by my concur . mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you had hoped that this morning to discuss the issues takes place on which your house found it necessary to have the last april opinion issued to the intergovernmental conference to add . this is why i believe it despite the respect for the existing constitutional framework be difficult , as i frankly believe , that more than the governed by deliver an opinion from parliament in the initiation of such cooperation . as you know , this presupposes presuppose that we establish political decisions which are of far more far-reaching , than the three which i have just outlined requirements . and i myself have stressed that the method used to the charter to be able to erwägende . nevertheless , i understand that , as well as grammatical point behind her question a constant concern totally . for this reason too i would like to form and content thanking her initiative . the introduction of enhanced cooperation should not to create new boards in addition to the existing institutions of the union . it is time that contracts to be improved . this general consensus of europe contravention of the european council 's refusal to the charter of fundamental rights of the european into the treaty to include them enforceable and to make the citizens of their rights are violated , access to the european court of justice should be opened . otherwise , i think , is a europe of citizens , not to have one . paragraph 8 . the constitution is , i quote : " the questions laissées ouvertes ' rules . what is to have changed since then , is to have me to make any reluctance . secondly , it is a lack tasks , the questions sidelined instils out for the future of europe and the interests of citizens are of particular importance . minister , the transmission reportedly issued , the russian orthodox church on the eve of bolschewistischen revolution , a rendezvous that for the world as fatal consequences should have , in long debates on the formulation of roben to fastenzeit . therefore , closer cooperation and the guarantees which the rapporteur has outlined . you must all be open to the spirit of the treaties and must respect the acquis communautaire cannot unlawful . on one point though , i would like to say that it does not seem right to demand auspices , or in direction to do , that in all member states compulsory referendum to have the amendments to decide . we have a very thorough debate on the two issues which have are different in character , but there is one point on hydrocarbons . we are prepared to work towards this , there during the conference in november a vote concoctions are and acceptance which during the french presidency will take place . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) what does " the introduction of the existence of a part-time working for older employees ' for more than a threat of many countries have too high retirement age . as you know dining pensioners as well as the marmelade like children . i have pensioners who spin on the pensioners ' party in the european parliament dispatched to have asked whether they like gm drink wine break-up . furthermore continue in exceptional cases standardvermehrungsgut could be marketed , if the need not through other categories we can cover . i ask you , therefore , mr president , portray the varying labour costs then not even a restriction of competition in the european union 's goal ? it could not vote against them , which i did . despite the increased liberalisation in the european union is state aid still a constructive role in achieving of social and economic progress on this . on the environment , the safety of public service and to guarantee equal pay for residents weak regions can be indispensable this aid . we are at the expense carefully that the eu after the consolidating its control over the hopeful state aid and the less extensive aid under the pretext ins target will take , for competition between small and medium-sized enterprises strive to do . section vi - economic and social committee if we look at the fälligkeitspläne implementation of the budget for the heading 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 of , we see that only an average 99.8 % of all obligations on payments covered . three years ago we use our employment strategy , began by encouraging smes halfen , chancenkapital to obtain . parliament wants that two ways to do so . only then will the european institutions and its mandate justly . i should like to take this opportunity to at the vice-president responsible for budgets , mr gerhard schmid , for their constructive cooperation collaborated . we want the commission 's ability to work receives , but we cannot allow them least at the european parliament 's demands as part of the budgetary authority will be heard . this means that the 2001 provides recent whole-year annual budget , and that is also the background to the assessment of the commission 's proposal and of the proposal which we in parliament are put forward . we are also a revision of the administrative expenditure . since 1985 - indeed , since eighty-five - tries to parliament 's committee on budgets to ensure that , in the process of the european parliament 's budgetary consequences of the resolutions adopted by the plenary ignore them . i shall conclude , mr president , by congratulating the other institutions for the care danke , addressing the joint declaration on their way of proceeding teach did . they are today discussing a budget to determine the at first reading by the council has been amended . on the structural measures , for example , the proposed budget compared to the 2000 budget scarcely changed at all . the council 's attitude towards revising the financial perspectives are strictly factual . if you take those three different figures treats , you can see that there are significant differences which are also mono-ethnic quantitatively , of course , the content . here i must point out that it vis--vis the comitology procedure after lengthy debate last year a new decision by the council on the subsidies , and i have little hope that we re-open this debate there . in the financial perspective in berlin for the period up until 2006 were on the meda programme 8.1 billion euros earmarked . i would therefore like to council and budgets in this parliament to tell their foreign policy reflections and in foreign policy pause for thought and not just haushaltspolitisch . the second is that aid to victims of human rights violations , irradiation in specialist organisations need . is there at the time pending a compromise solution emerged , that the important work of the emac-ausschusses supports , can we still mercy . otherwise , we consider the position of our committee openly . we only have the television awarded and at the problems in the middle east to be considered in order to every day draws attention to them . i therefore hope that we in the vote tomorrow will still on the necessary majority for the monitoring centre in dublin foodstuffs ! mr president , i would like , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development several points , firstly on rural development . we have to approve indikativer funds totalling eur 2 million for an information campaign on the cfp asks . the commission must have strong arguments negotiate , at a reasonable agreement with morocco to achieve and what the council and the governments concerned is to that negotiation political impetus . if we look at the 2001 budget today , this is the pictures of the serbian population before our very eyes . overall , we would like to see that these amendments are adopted . an important opportunity for the citizens is open to ride audible , is to take on the ombudsman to turn or petitions to parliament to be addressed . firstly , parliament budget . on the great surprise of many members of my delegation we adopted at the beginning of september unanimously approved a kernstrategie . the 400 amendments , which by some members were put forward were - were so for many of us in the committee on budgets rather surprising . it is difficult . what about new posts that verwaltungsproblem can be resolved , reappear in both the commission nor the council antiquierte and intricate methods of management of many programmes are being applied . this house has in recent years consistently demonstrated the express call rigour to base its work situations . it is not acceptable for people over the years very very loose on commitments speaks and she repeated zusagt , but then , when it comes to pay , is to say that we will be going too far , as we now need a little zurückschneiden ! if we were very few million to the lines aim - much more cannot be - then we think there speckseite making and if the people they actually need to draw your attention again loop . the 2001 budget rank as the budget last year was almost no lösbaren conflicts , both printing the consolidation and austerity , as is now in the interinstitutional agreement has been approved , funding the enlargement of putting on the acute borrowing for the stability pact for the balkans . calls for better conduct include more staff . the vote on this in its original form was the starting point for altering the situation may be , but he is on the committee on budgets rejected by a majority . unfortunately it is for quite a few examples : from the privileged treatment of association with federalist ambition or of many ngos have very dubious modus operandi and views on the financing of european parties by the for the prince programme vergeudeten sums , with which the european citizens of the benefits of the euro persuaded to be , and it will lose confidence in endures , the europeans , our danish colleagues to the leaders of the european central bank broadly share . finally , mr heaton-harris in its amendments rightly on the one-sidedness of numerous european programmes explode , where citizens with a propagandastory about european integration traktiert which claim to be paid by the citizens themselves . in addition to our administrative systems modernising . we must also set an example . a good example of the latter is the meda programme for the basin of the mediterranean , a geographical area of major strategic importance . if certain about necessary reductions or the rout of appropriations under heading 4 , refer to certain priority issues cannot be financed , they do not forget that parliament has set priorities . this is what we in the committee vote quite clearly . this figure is needed , therefore , clarification . thank you , mr wynn . it simply means the existence of intrinsic elements of flexibility , at a given area to progress , and that some are unable or wish , and one for the eu countries are concerned , including in the applicant countries . in my view , austria no need to focus on the outcome lamenting , quite the opposite . this would allow the recommendations of the regional organisations and experience from the neighbouring countries certainly make a valuable contribution . in 1984 owned 0.2 % of landowners in colombia 32 % of land . it is not for the council to this or that aspect of this highly sensitive and painful issue commenting on . we could also be doing so start a debate on issues which , once again , were very difficult . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : i shall , therefore beware , a definitive answer on this difficult problem to be . we only have the feeling , and your answer is that in some way to confirm that the presidency it when we discussed this issue in question consistency dearth of this issue . this is why the emergence of a tobin tax would not be zero . i forgive you too , but we must follow the rules of procedure . the reason why we are on the right so quiet , has been one lies in that we those issues it ever have settled , and we believe that we have the same things have not discussed on several occasions and our valuable waste time . furthermore , as a transition towards a adopting this text for the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in june 2000 , a decision to screening out risk material , with regard to these diseases have been introduced , so that any further spread of disease preventing and for the consumer the highest possible level of health protection should be guaranteed . i have no other information than the one i have just described . we are monitoring the work of the commission and the council on erika i and are well informed about this . but when it meeresstraße , in terms of the two countries and also throughout the european union is known as a demanding meeresstraße that are of great vessels using it , just a few hours saving , but there is a danger that old rostkähne somewhere aground run and a disaster cause , i would have and would have above all the inhabitants of corsica and of sardinien wondering whether it is possible and if you intend to passage through the streets of bonifacio for these large ships , that container simply banning ? that is why we should in fact the commission 's proposals for the reform of personnel policy support . in the budget for serbia are travelling to kosovo fresh money needs . in conclusion , may i express the hope that we in the budget add eur 50 million abzweigen may , to the peace agreement israel-plo to finance . this is why we in parliament new measures that are not so much to seeking other sources of finance , of which we already know they under existing conditions cannot be found , but to laying down new interinstitutional commitments aims , by the quality of expenditure improved and proposes that not one euro being wasted . remember that in european politics than any other area the temperate options might not be more th majority form . it is probably the verdunkelung because of enlightenment and , at the demonstrating position with regard to the operation of activity-based budgeting disappointed me greatly . in addition , leads the way of doing this , tolerating the budget as a political instrument to realize where the distribution of expenditure clear political priorities reflect . we should take this opportunity to seek a solution which several years holds to give us this debate about the financing the reconstruction of the balkans next and not following year again lead to . anyone participating in the development of sustainable agriculture is concerned , will know that the hauptvorstoß of recent agreed in berlin reform is to further steady transition from price support for products of direct income support for farmers to change . a budget is always more than a uninspiring zahlenreihe . moreover , it is also immoral that expenditure on the common agricultural policy , for the meda programme to the socially excluded to cut back to make funds available for the financing of the european union 's commitments in kosovo and in yugoslavia safeguarded . quite simply , in serbia are people in this winter neither frieren still go hungry . secondly , i wish to express my concern that different jugendparlamente in the socrates programme started . for the benefit of the council should also be made clear that the council is also our responsibility for the poor implementation of some außenprogramme . we need now is stable solution to this aid and , even more so for the time necessary planning for the whole western balkans . i think that the majority would be ready to such a sum provided to accept that the money is used properly . i share the concerns and views of the rapporteur , mrs rühle , addressing this afternoon with regard to the chapters researching and social action describing . two weeks ago we had a joint parliamentary assembly of the acp a.m . at the same time , i shall do we want , in funds for research and information budgetary resources are used to produktionsalternativen for current growers to look . i strongly stick to the european union , with northern ireland is concerned , the most direct and positive influence immunisation which one might imagine . under this system is compliance with rules and procedures by an independent authority and in the last instance through the courts secured . so we will be the first time a codecision procedure at first reading finalise it , and this at a very complex and steeped in technical difficulties behafteten text in an area which so far as the protection of privacy is particularly sensitive . it is a very positive that they must do not have been brought together . is e.g. aware that in the schengen system over 10 million data records on almost 1.5 million people is held that with regard to europol , whose powers constantly expanded , the information from the member police authorities of the 15 member states centrally zusammenlaufen , but only under the control of a government which has neither the competence nor has the means at its disposal to really make another purpose . that said , i use the presence of commissioner to emphasise the fact that people in my opinion , not only for the protection of citizens in the new technologies must take care , but also for the use of these technologies for the purposes of better quality of the citizens of europe to intervene and interaktiv in the european institutions to communicate . in amendments nos 1 , 2 , 4 and 10 , 12 % to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 and 60 to 64 , the council text on those points on which the commission can accept . it goes without saying that its opinions on the legislative proposals relating to data protection help significantly , if they are an important contribution to legislative debate between the institutions to do . so recognised by the treaty acknowledging that the ultra-peripheral regions a severe economic and social situation in which , in particular disadvantages harder to be weakened by the lasting situation and their interaction with the development of these regions severely compromised . in that way , the strategy on a high level of employment for promoting economic and social progress environments . so i would like to express my congratulations to mrs sudre . we await with interest the normative enhancement of the commission proposals , so that the particulars under article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam soon can be considered . for many europeans have some ultra-peripheral but one touristisches objective a map . our unemployment rates are at the top of the union . i am pleased that the committee which i have tabled amendments accepted by a large majority . i believe it is particularly important for the outermost regions in the pan-european transport , energy and telecommunications networks are included . the unanimous approval of the by our colleague margie sudre report presented by the committee on regional policy is confirmation of fidelity ep one of its main obligations . we must not on the whole situation discuss and believe that , with the meet these satisfactory ; in fact , idyllischen situation - if we do times as cite want - no longer be necessary to be further measures to deal with these three areas , especially the outermost regions , we are debating today , to take . this article gives us - not in a position to do everything possible , but it does , the action to strengthen and - i think this is necessary , to extend and improve . in order to prepare the necessary proposals the commission is of course in the member states and the regions concerned together . the difficulty of regions wise , we are well aware that a lasting up , and therefore i believe that it depending on their actual level of development permanently on the support of regional policy and of specific measures need them . during the year 2001 might pick such a meeting will be taken if we as the implementation of the last march out programme a bit further attendance here . the presidency has decided that this matter is over , and i accept this without hesitation . in my view that parliament should closest to the current rules , because often do - as another speaker has already said , that is not the appliances which does not work . it is individual meps who have forgotten to vote , and to take the vote will readjust could , then we would never be finish up . i am in fact , what i osce . ultimately , commissioner , it is , quite apart from the bureau , imperative that the services of the commission in cooperation and in consultation with member states arrangements homogener and effective controls across the food chain and build upon the network of lebensmittellabors within the european union manifold and in coordination with the commission is actively . as , in the research cannot be duplications may turn out to petty national forschungsinstituten and the eu-forschungszentren be cooperation . today we are discussing a white paper , and we subjects berth should be , some key principles established . these procedures have been improved and revised , and we have in the uk an agency for legensmittelstandards set up . finally , to have a number of new amendments support , as amendments nos 11 and 13 and 7 to 9th relating to amendment no 14 calls for a vote without fraktionszwang . against this background , i should like to say firstly that food safety can only be guaranteed , taking strict official inspections , and these are only existing as effectively as the weakest link in the chain . we are discussing an issue on which there are clearly proves , as superficial and inhaltslos our debate on the political union of europe . we therefore entrust the european food safety authority solely with the scientific tests in partnership with the national authorities . it is important . most lebensmittelbedingten diseases , of which europe today is concerned , re-emerged first on the american continent to . moreover , the conditions for access to the authority is intended to be effective and rapid action is guaranteed . we should also point out , as other speakers have done , in particular , mr whitehead , mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is more than any new regulation of the union . mr president , i am extremely today joy and gratitude , both for the commission , which working towards a better food safety has begun , and also to mr bowis and the entire committee on the environment . i regard as particularly important amendment no 17 , in which the involvement of consumer organizations calling for . another point is the complexes review of legislation on the labelling of foodstuffs either in the wholesale and for the retail trade , which the consumer with regard to the traceability of products and their ingredients categorising properly informed and to identify any responsibilities at risk and crises possible . new legislation is in my view , not the right response to existing rules are not respected . when we vote in the committee on the environment , we succeeded in a certain balance recreating recognizing that the scope to include the ernährungsprobleme amplified and some important references to the role of smes to maintain a different eating habits have incorporated . mr president , i should like to join other colleagues in thanking the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very constructive and logical approach to this problem compliments . mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety itself no legal force , suffer double meaning which he certainly merit , absolutely refuse . the rapporteur and plenty of our committee , including myself , have to focus on the food authority attached to what is really rather regrettable . on the independence and integrity of the authority is the position of european consumers best served . during the process i have often thought that we in the selection of rapporteur a happy hand have experienced . mr president , i want to mr bowis , congratulations on his laudable attempt to express any opinion in his report to be included , and i would like him , in particular , to thank for his referring back to the broader concept of diet has accepted . finally , the policy not shirk its responsibilities . the most important task is , however , that this body to respect riddled with scientific committees which public confidence and the willingness of the governments of member states buys up by its decisions to be accepted . as i see a food authority for the future . we have the world health organisation in geneva . i verschweige nor that i am of the publication of the white paper on the authority have made . we must , therefore , to ensure that the european union has the highest lebensmittelsicherheitsstandards decreed , it must , within this at the unanimous approval stoßenden approach and the economic consequences for those who are analysed . the role of the authority encompasses then : independent scientific research and advice , independent inspections and an early warning system , but certainly coordination to restore confidence . i would like to take this opportunity to speakers who have discrete solution with regard to the promotion of local specialities and traditional products exist , requested an assurance that this issue in the hygiene requirements into consideration . you will allow the commission facilitate , a balanced proposal which makes the position of parliament and the many players in terms of food safety widest consideration . our parliament is not dealing first raised at the issue anti-personnel mines , but this problem was u. among others politically , at the origin of the signing of the ottawa convention . i repeat my rejection of amendments nos 10 , 19 , which is due to the coherence of the budget , and to call for amendment no 29 a split vote on the various parts to the wording of the whole text , which in my opinion , in particular misinterpretations are suffering , to improve . and this is where the first is : the countries which have not signed , up to the european union , in particular , the commission , to sign the ottawa convention will be asked . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know about the consequences which antipersonnel mines have , though in individual cases frequently billion-dollar military reasons , . parliament has expressed its 1996 first on the agenda hauled ; it is a horizontal line and a proper legal basis asking that with the single platform for the panoply of our actions in this important area to be created . but i do not deny that the thoroughness of europe with other countries by the fact somewhat restricts that some member states are still problems with regard to sign and ratify the convention there . the effectiveness demining operations is greatest . but the individually tailored to the special circumstances of each state tailored organization . the house is aware that there already too many , . as you know , we want with our proposals on reform of external aid from the expensive verification of individual projects abandonment and work in the discussion with member states instead on general strategies and programmes concentrated . many ngos have been set up tackling this problem minds . we must , however , four years after the first un conference on the issue of landmines in geneva and more than a year after the introduction of the ottawa convention noticed that many countries , thousands of people , mostly in the poorest regions of the world , are still in a frightening picture of the risk of anti-personnel landmines and munitions and munitions which are not explode , are victims . the commission , the quality of their programmes improve and accelerate their implementation . if you accept these amendments again very careful about , in my opinion they will be to say , however , some of the honourable member mentions requests campaigns , transparency and access for ngos to the appropriations and things that are currently quite a operate properly , efficient and could be improved . mrs bonino and mr patten have also right in your view that the parliament and council for the management leave us . i heard mr patten on this point very attentively to insofar as it appears to have the feeling is that there should be even more involved . mr president , our group will also work for many years now for the spectre of in this area necessary demands and actions , the produktionsstopp at the destruction of minenbestände , the attitude of the market , the vacating the mines up to the rehabilitation of victims and public awareness . it is then up to the states that the process at international level to promote . the mines are of course a major obstacle to the recovery of those countries , and also for the return of refugees are concerned . at the current rate of vacating we would , as someone was said earlier - far more than 100 years need to make the world of the treaty on cleanse . the third area i see concrete measures which we propose to investigate and comprehend it . every child , which we bosnia , africa and elsewhere in the minentod or monstrous injury preserved , is an effort to us all value . it must indeed put pressure on those countries where there have not signed , such as finland , or have not yet ratified the convention , such as greece . ladies and gentlemen , look at finland ! lastly , let us hope that in the context of the future tasks of the common european forces professionals be trained , especially local people , something which is because that mines are disappearing . and they underline nor that of the list of the most affected countries especially developing countries are . parliament 's demands could hardly more clearly in breach of the lisbon objectives are . the rapporteur , mrs van lancker , is that parliament modifications of the commission 's proposal decides , particularly through the endow of different areas where legislation is apposite and through the establishment of certain rights at european level . apparently , the luxembourg approach to employment policy is , on social security systems and social exclusion be extended . the superpowers germany , france and great britain and to some extent by italy are all agreed that they small- eastern and southern european countries that the european union want to join their domination subjecting them . we find it rather for legal reasons for missed out on it already in article 6 teu transferable to include , for them in the convention , its structure under - not formally decided was published and therefore no legal holds . accepting new text into the treaties could lead to legal uncertainty . the fact is that there is the rapporteur for the mouthpiece of levelled at latter-day new theory of the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union , namely the clarity of the european parliament represent people and the eu council countries represented . the swedish and danish social democrats today voted against the report by oliver duhamel on the constitutionalisation of the treaties voted . we must do this , the european union towards a constitution evolve , that the charter of fundamental rights encompasses . a constitution would only make sense if it 's democratic framework for a genuine european federation , a form of united states of europe , trigger value . he said that he is in line with a large part of the political class on the realised that our relationship with other countries t through an international treaty regulated intelligence gathering . . i welcome the report by mr duhamel than interesting and positive contribution to the concept of constitutionalisation of the treaties . we believe that a revamping and simplification of the treaties make it easier for people were to fall outside the scope of the eu and its borders , and the procedures to perform this responsibility clearly identified . by the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 was europe an intergovernmental supersyndikat . the edd group will vote against the report by mr gil-robles gil-delgado on closer cooperation . it is indeed the concept of the union , too monolithischen itself in any form of cooperation within a ' single institutional framework ' unfolding and towards achieving a super-state tend to be . it is a general slowing down to it , by certain member states through the development of closer cooperation a more rapid way possible . the structures of the single market work since the early 1990s very successful . . ( nl ) the cooperation at european level , for the resolving cross-border problems usefully . these regions could as privileged versuchsstation for sustainable development directions . the technocrats and the european legislator wanted , for example , the dues ' octroi de mer ' to be abolished harms our citizens in the overseas territories with resources oversupply and , above all , our craftsmen requirements . france has , however , departments in the indian ocean and in the caribbean . its independence is a prerequisite of its credibility . our vote is therefore to clarify the role and the composition of a european authority contributed , but it also our demands on their funding and its independence specified . secondly , the european agency be totally independent . we need the kind of agricultural and agroindustriellen practices , the problem of nahrungsgüterimporte , composition of the ingredients in animal feed , the maxima for dioxins and for pesticide residues which additives in food and other non-food and food safety prioritise . we have voted in favour of amendment no 15 , because we are defending the heritage of europe in terms of production drained dear . in virtually no category of expenditure ceasing us a margin . as we would now also 50 % in the budget line and 50 % in reserve aim . the question is : what are the two are incompatible . report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets on the draft general budget of the european union on the budget 2001 - section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) madam president , my name appears among several amendments to this report . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) the real astonishment this budget is concerning external assistance , where selfishness and miserliness prevail . as a result of a use the flexibility instrument can appropriations released . . ( el ) i voted against the haug report and for my group 's proposal that the overall budget 2001 to reject any reservations . we bear in mind in particular of the new pilot project , which hopes information measures to combat paedophilia are financed . not least , this indicates that scant concern for the eu project , even under the politically active citizens . in this way traps 20 to 30 % of the markets , the private competing with . since this will have been no report sets out that i have voted against the report . if we look at what unacceptably low national thresholds which aid dezimieren , in connection with the proposed reduction of rücknahmemengen at 5 % of zitrusfrüchten , on 8.5 % of apples and pears and about 10 % for the rest , fruit and vegetable varieties , it is clear that enormous amounts of verarbeitungserzeugnissen for fruit and vegetables no longer be sold could , if prices as a whole shrink , i fruits , in the fields and in the flax processing companies verrotten tonight and that farmers will force , their pflanzungen to grub up . i voted for this report , which represents the expectations of the portuguese organizations for fruit and gemüsesektors corresponds to the radical reform of the com in fruit and vegetables , requested when you think that these for national interests profoundly damaging . report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) the root of evil is that everything , even the quality of the environment and the climate , capitalist exploitation of productive resources and the superprofiten is sacrificed . the basis of kyoto was that the rich countries ' aircraft themselves be pure , and should , however , some limited , have the opportunity to their help in some countries which have been achieved emission reductions downstream on its own ergebnisliste to achieved . . ( fr ) combating the greenhouse effect is a major challenge for the industrialised countries and an obligation in particular for the peoples of the developing world are the consequences of climate change already pay with their lives for . the way of life is that , with these risks and insecurities appropriate way . even the efforts which suspected endokrin effective effluent exact to investigating , are ­ possibly through a legal framework ­ follow-up and strengthened . consumers and smes bring peace to introduce the euro a single market insufficient profit . banks , because so far by the member states to cross-border payments of eur 12 500 to zahlungsbilanzstatistischen used for central bank to respond . sustaining needless to say that apply to them the same stringent requirements in terms of safety and money-laundering . we are actually situations where überweisungsgebühren on cross-border credit transfers , when the euro have raised , and not just a small amount of money . the european central bank could help and to do with the implementation of the single european datenformats in payment transactions and supporting the implementation of a single european bankleitzahl at international iban-systems . for the consumer 's accepting euros , is of crucial importance . madam president , mrs peijs ' report on the massenzahlungsverkehr within the internal market anticipates the long-standing demand of the european parliament concerning the high cost of trans-frontier money transfers in the union reverting to . the peijs report shows this recital d of the resolution itself noting , where it says that the high charges for cross-border payments ' consumer confidence in the euro rocked ' . so there is much to do , however methods and means of politicians , all we can do that , in this area slower than our scope in matters of payments in the internal market . the euro-markt will continue as binnenraum encountered , and the people cannot understand that in this area , in the exchange rate risks being lost and the electronic payment systems with internet-banking increasingly would of course , a transfer from munich to salzburg considerably more than was a transfer from munich to kiel . in achieving this objective is , and it for many years have to work . at that point we will continue after the shorter term of winding up of cross-border payments , as in the report by mrs peijs gedrungen going to speak . the debate is closed . the right policy is probably the fact that a pragmatic and kmu-nahen concept which should take priority which the small business at the heart of the instruments power , and not a proposal which on the pretext that thinly avoid wanting to serve only dignity , accurate statistics to produce that specifically nowhere take going . but specifically i have three comments on this programme . it is worth pointing out that the first action programme in this field 1983 amendment - in other words 17 years ago . i also have always been able to raising this on the basis of sound and pragmatic policy should be . i would be a real outposts of economic and innovation , particularly those in the front line and the risks involved in these areas straight face . finally , we also need the results of the kolloquiums ' governance ' , academia and it last week in brussels under the auspices of the institute for technological zukunftsforschung at seville took place , and the folgearbeiten on this kolloquium reflect , because there are many points of contact with our current issue . the rapporteur lists various priorities of putting the business environment in europe to be reformed . that is fine for europe , for technically correct , competently and soon we can help . mr president , i should like to add the words of thanks for the excellent report by our fellow member montfort has . importantly , measure well , a situation can be avoided , in which people constantly at the expense of others fail . this is unfair , and i therefore support this report . this is also what guide the charter for small enterprises . the programme is designed to prevent this information about the networks will be provided . the primary aim of this plan is evidently the control of immigration in the countries of the european union and the readmission of european unlawfully resident in their country . in particular , i would point out that measures to improve the internal security , to strengthen its dialogue between europeans and local bodies in albania and , if the commission and the council , in conjunction with the albanian , the italian and the greek authorities targeted actions are required . the inadequate social , economic and political conditions in combination with lack of legal certainty defective or and organised crime lead to massive wanderbewegungen . mr president , as opposed to mrs pack , my view , the more groups are dealing with albania , the better it is . we obviously cannot immediately a solution to the whole issue them , but medium-term we need a world where appropriate justice , certainly , zukunftsmöglichkeiten creators . in addition , there is a chasm between the donors , ourselves , the european union , and the united states - that the financial resources , projects contract out and dgl. versus the local population on the other . let us use implying a bilateral agreements which are legally and confirmed that the work which aufenthaltsdauer , the whereabouts , pay , working hours , working conditions and the sozialversicherungsrechtlichen prescribe conditions to enable the newcomers to force , which will economies of our countries dedicated and instead of nationalist aspirations in a spirit of the cold war to fuel friendship and cooperation between the peoples blossom . people are sent back , that is partly well integrated projects . however we must not be centre stage , as the migranten- and flood of refugees stemmed . it is what the situation in the region can be improved so that people can stay at home . mr president , i also believe that , as mr dimitrakopoulos quite rightly said , the central issue in terms of economic , social and the internal security problems affecting albania remains is to the country in the reconstruction of the rule of law , to guarantee of stability in europe and to restore the image of the institutions and regional authorities to promote . i am as mr liese 's opinion that we the burden of asylum and refugee policy is needed . the action plan for albania and the peripheral regions , in june adopted . these are therefore on the sixth framework programme . there is sometimes frustration , but also fremdheit vis-à-vis the european right , and we would ourselves , along with other community institutions to call upon dispense with mühsal of detailed work not to spare , accurately to work and will attract the necessary time and the necessary staff must be made available . we want , in this report sends out a signal to the citizens send out that we are complaining about the lack of quality of legislation and the accusations of überregionalisierung and centralism seriously . of course , this subject in itself extremely important , even though the limited number of participants in the regulation in this house to forthcoming debate at first sight anyway dagegenspricht . in addition , the report inevitably raises the question of subsidiarity to that in this chamber this evening somewhat controversial one . that interests would be that in the light of this principle an inventory of legislation hierarchy in order to continue simpler , more transparent , efficient and more focused and to make superfluous legislation should be removed , as in paragraph 6 this report has recommended . after much closer examination of the report i am of the conclusion that there be no political principle is that it is a theological . this means that the recognition of the principle of subsidiarity to the lowest districts , local authorities , the intermediary organisations , the social groups , families and their citizens the only one which is actually the sovereignty of the legislative and the administrative operation be able to , must be guaranteed . let me therefore to be summaries . i give the floor to mr fischler . this is an area we penetrate into detail regulators should , i guaranteed everywhere are implemented , and we should consider whether a voluntary agreement , provided that they can enforced and ensure that the alternative is ? - i voted for it , although it is with some amendments were overturned bin , because they did so with the excessive wechsel- and the euro area transfer costs busy . if , in fifteen months later in eleven member states still the same coins and notes are put on the market , the procurement of monetary outside their country of residence expensive . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must begin by extending my regret to say that this is what the fisheries commissioner responsible , mr fischler , this cannot be here . we need an agreement to be that the fischereizusammenarbeit and the moroccan fisheries sector stimuli confers on which the national fishing interests of the european fleet into consideration . consequently , we are on the establishment of good partnership agreement with morocco , its position in a meeting will explain that , as you have said , on 30 october , i.e. monday , in brussels takes place . a few weeks ago i was myself in algeciras on the spanish south coast - it is a morocco 's . over time illustrated that they have not only problematic , but will actually be impossible to emerges . the fisheries agreement , the union should fishing activities carried out and with third countries fishing rights harmonise . in a swedish fischereifachzeitschrift were to read , as one of these vessels enriching capture in el aaiún landed , which has been described as moroccan ports . all this will be called into question . it concerns all of our fisheries agreements and not just the with morocco , because even the agreement with mauritania and soon , which concerns guinea-conakry is the real test of funds . 11 months has it taken so that we now have watershed , the meeting on 30.10. , arrive , and so we are also aware that recent actions of commissioner fischler to guarantee that the results of its journey from 26 september with morocco and the high-level , even with the könig , talks . but i would like to a few brief messages to the commission forward , which is worthy of commissioner busquin has taken . my question to you is : if no agreement with morocco is achieved or if this agreement with the commission 's signalisierten conditions is completed , an agreement to stimulate the moroccan output , will the commission then structural measures to compensate for the backlog seizing who reads the affected areas will develop ? as we had predicted , were the negotiations with the moroccan authorities extraordinarily difficult . if this undesirable outcome of the failure of the negotiations , the union has in fact a political and moral duty , fishermen and ship-owners with sufficient funding to help , giving them the livelihoods alive . the over-capacity of the fishing industry of the eu should be phased out . that is why we need very promptly close economic and political relations with morocco whilst enforcing our european fishing interests . so the commission is working on the basis of a new , for both sides useful partnership that both the full support of the fisheries sector in morocco , the fleet , aquaculture , industrial processing and research , as in the allocation of fishing opportunities for european fishermen employs . rights of lecturers ' this is not only with the german language a clear distinction . in july 1999 , the commission that infringement proceedings brought before the court . if it does not , therefore , to our longed-for harmonising systems come in and , therefore , as things currently stand , the principle of subsidiarity not lead to what likely to be calling for a privilege is as discrimination dismissed indefinitely . admittedly , the previous commission under mr santer has perhaps not the best , it was as well . in the committee on legal affairs and for the whole union and for all parties are gathered together so that we show that there is no point in having rights to speak and for rechtschartas engaging , if we are in real intervening cases in which human rights denied , effective measures to ensure that they are recognised and enforced , and it is in this case , the problem . that is in a modern europe is not acceptable . it is true of the education sector under the principle of subsidiarity , but under the treaties are the free movement of workers and the ban on discrimination everybody board , despite having - and i particularly , because i do from a very federal state eligibility - on the principle of subsidiarity as principles of cooperation with the european union profess and seek to make as quickly as possible the kompetenzaufteilungen between the levels in europe after the subsidiarity principle in all situations . this is no longer discrimination be . mr president , would you , from an excellent expert in the surgical fachbegriffe in italian , french and german or by a surgeons can operate ? ( the sitting was suspended at 10.56 p.m. ) we talk about them our deepest sympathy . i call mr ceyhun . it is the rapporteur and also on behalf of the socialist group . with regard to the statements by the council and commission for the third asia-europe meeting the council has informed us that he is currently no reason wants to make . it is therefore an issue that the treaties and under the euratom treaty for the commission is ; it affects many people , nor can many citizens are concerned , but not exclusively spaniards , because in this area and in their einzugsbereich where it does not even a notstandsplan exists , hundreds of thousands of european citizens within the 15 member states alive , in addition to the many who come from outside that it is really quite a costa del sol . madam president , sadly , but very instructive , from the spanish minister for home affairs , mr mayor oreja to hear that conversations with basque nationalists pointless were , even if a future cease-fire and herausspränge . i should enquire whether , for this week a commission statement on the judgement of the british government is being proposed , a discriminatory tax for nichtbritische güterkraftverkehrsunternehmer introduced ? as the so-called liberal parties , including the european , more and more tending to address , racist and xenophobic despotic inclined forces to verbünden , this is not just a serious threat to italy , but it is also a question to achieve this , the whole of europe is concerned . the report but there are also critical remarks about the french proposal . these demands are subject of amendments nos 2 and 4 of the report karamanou . the initiative of the french presidency , we are debating today are , was the idea that the two preceding moralising rechtshilfe-übereinkommen in criminal matters , especially in relation to the fight against money laundering , to be reformed . all i can say that if the idea of combating money laundering overturn it , then this is the fault of the council and not by parliament . on the results of its work , we can only congratulate you . the road they will of course , as mr marinho said - and i agree with this wholeheartedly - which has communitisation . everyone has done so far , we agree that this is a very important initiative is , and we agree on . europol must across national borders to operate . there are too much in modern-day europe , and before giving a hurried of however , i should like to mutual recognition fairer standards see . i can understand that it is difficult , because we in the construction of a fragmentation of instruments emanate to . this is also a need to promote the economic europe should be strengthened , and it is also a desire for citizens , whom we taking account of all , since the european union 's citizens are entitled to safety . we need in the european union a firm stand against money laundering and will be aware that there particularly since the arrival of the single market and from the liberalisation of the market for capital and financial services effective police and judicial cooperation between member states - as effectively as possible , bedarf . out of work as a finanzberater entitled not to presume that the lawyer in itself would not his profession exercise . but i am of course aware that the question raised by several members of the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal professions , rejection of judicial cooperation in the area of combating money laundering , can justify a delicate one . this applies particularly to cumbersome , gravest and cross-border crime . as a whole is for such a big and important , that it is the council alone can be resolved . hence the need to citizens ' rights should be strengthened , working in a zweckdienliches legal instrument lightweight and the competence of the court of justice recognised , particularly as regards interpretation and decisions . even though i , for more cooperation and coordination favour , i think it planned , that a legal framework to cause to be wrong , and we will vote against them . even a second point is of interest . that is why the full participation in this house so pleasant . as several members very sensitive matters have raised , i would like to take this opportunity to you in all honesty that , as mr coelho has just done - to say that , at this initiative in particular , the first initiative and see what the political will of the council is the fact that the compared with police cooperation that exists shortfall in the area of judicial cooperation to catch up . that is why it is for me too important tool for judicial control has ensured . the programme polite to research in the field fisheries , agriculture and agro-industry exporters was part of the fourth framework programme , i 1994 to 1998 expired . given the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries is sorry that some problems have revealed that the organisation of the programme alike . the court of auditors ' report on the programme polite to which that langenhagen report refers , is only in march this year was produced , while the sektorschreiben to auditing detected in december 1998 , in february 1999 the commission were provided . on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to just a few points . you have kindly on the ambience highlighted , in which the report came into being . she was dominated by the dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission 's departments ; and you have clearly shown how important you herein lies . this shows that the commission has not been inactive and that they whose comments seriously . that brings me to reply to mrs morgan , that the withdrawal of paid sums articulated . thank you , commissioner . the überreichung continue during the december part-session purview . it means , including that some leaders do not want to admit that , in my deep conviction and the initiate the from this parliament so often and so stubbornly requisite constitutional process . i am extremely pleased that today i have the opportunity , with them in detail on this trefflichen draft the charter of fundamental rights of the european union to debate , before making the final position adopted by this house on this text partnership . i personally have no doubt that the opportunity to do so , will provide . there was also remain a few critical comments on the substance of the charter . this is a special position i welcome . it is for us as parliament a great success , and here , the political groups zusammengestanden , that is a positive result , if we were to ensure that the european parliament with 16 members of this grundrechtskonvent was represented . whilst this charter is , in my view , a great achievement and is , as a major european newspaper on 26 september 2000 betitelte which hallmarks of europe . it is therefore my group is absolutely essential , in article 6 ( 2 ) of the treaty any reference to the charter should include . as many have in fact believe that europe will finally had the opportunity to be survive as a mere free trade and the ausgetretenen path of liberalism overcoming to lay the foundations of a europe of citizens to be built . civil society is determined to mobilise and to the european summit in december in nice your voice to collect and a charter of demanding that the real guarantees for citizens of europe offers . i want beside the signatures and more effective political obligations which every day from all member states and all political forces must be implemented . let us do so weep or behave as if we look forward to let us celebrate this great event , i nonetheless meaningless is . the convention has done excellent work . both the persönlichkeitsrechte , civil rights and the social rights . is this the right to good administration , which mrs malmström mentioned , is one of the most significant progress . i am not sure whether latitude mr blair 's contacts definitely grants to speak on his magnificent project to speak . heard me at any rate , nothing . madam president , the last time you have not half of the full or half empty glass spoken . but the council of cologne , supported by the court , that its role as stifter of confusion wonderfully played , ultimately ensured that the entire world has forgotten that this is a matter for the national parliaments , which is in itself with a policy of small steps are to be berth . excessive grundrechtsschutz is just as harmful as inadequate ! making speeches by members hearing , we see that the information needed more than ever , . the big issue on which to make its opinion the waters , is the purpose of the charter . we are once again , disillusioned and unsatisfied . we will , of course , to the charter correct , but with a feeling that does not the fact necesssary enthusiasm and commitment of the citizens of europe treats them , as usual governments , and some more than the other - the historic responsibility will have to take . the rapporteur , mr duff , according to this means an important step towards improving the quality of european integration . demolish the need to do was to which i recommend a study of the statements by the convention 49 and the case-law of both with the charter consequential tribunals . mr president . the first time since the creation of the european union that will lay the foundations for a constitution attached , a constitution for a supranational structure , as the union philosophy . you have understood nothing . we marching towards a social and democratic europe , for a europe of citizens . until then , the draft before us charter the parties , unions and environmental groups , churches and many other groups in the member states and candidate countries of the union as an interesting basis for discussion on the future cooperation between the peoples of europe directions . i would like to mention three points which , in the course of the morning cited by other members have mentioned . the charter , the us today is to be adopted , is not only the joint fundamental rights and values which form the basis of our community due to be she has done as well visible . i therefore suppor
