we know full well that the current treaties are insufficient and that , in future we will have to develop a better structure and different to the european union , a structure which also more constitutional will make it clear what the competences of the member states , which belongs to the union . 
messages of concern to begin with the economic and social problems for those we find ourselves , in spite of sustained growth , figment of years of effort by all our citizens . 
the current situation is untenable in particular for many self-employed drivers and to the agricultural sector , there is room for improvement undoubtably . 
as such , it is good to reach agreement on procedures , but we must take care that this system is not likely to be used as a weapon policy . 
now they must also recognise the rights they must comply . 
i agree with the sign of warned against their return , to which some people are tempted to , the intergovernmental methods . 
many of us want a federation of nation states . 
the rapporteurs have stressed the quality of the debate and also the need to go further : of course , i can only agree with them . 
to the latter i say that , before i make a statement , we need to learn , learn and gauging the forces of which are available , because the political debate must be realistic and reciprocate always to the reality of our energy and the objectives that we all want . 
i should like to be set for this closer cooperation in order to give some examples of the new european talent . 
the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . 
the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . 
i shall vote in favour of adopting the draft regulation . 
the reports from the european court of auditors is after all besides the fact that these subestimaciones , from greece for portugal . 
consequently , i have voted in favour of this report . 
according to its supporters , these buses are not only cheaper and versátiles internationally , but also more environmentally friendly because they use less fuel per passenger . 
it also calls for setting out some reference values to disseminate best practice throughout the eu . 
a binding charter covering all possible cases and that enuncie rights which stipulation is absolutely lawful could cause problems later . 
i am grateful to both its excellent work . 
however , we think that this cannot be dealt with by now concluded in nice in less than three months , as far as that is why we cannot vote in favour of the charter to be included in the treaty at the nice summit . 
. ( de ) the group of the european csu welcomes the fact that the present draft charter of fundamental rights is collected and make visible fundamental rights as citizens maintain off organs and institutions of the eu . 
mirrors the european liberal , taking shape . 
indeed , i had hoped that the charter is retract to be able to continue working on it , as do many non-governmental organisations in different countries . 
( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] ; 
so i would like to table that next year parliament does not come up with a general report , but briefs for countries to be stressed that ensuring a development differentiated of negotiations . 
i believe , then , that on the basis for the work undertaken by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be ready - at least i hope - to give a precise assessment of the accession process . 
i have said , and i have no problem at all that here , the french presidency will not shirk any of the difficulties arising , but it does not mean that we will have the time and with the means to deal with each of them . 
it is perfectly legitimate , but you must zanjarla of programmed and accurate . 
enlargement is a broad perspective that we need to approach with vision and a great deal of generosity . 
not all turn-out at the intergovernmental conference will ajustaría to the formidable exigencies of expecting that enlargement entails . 
the second major change which exist at present , to which europe must be adapted for the enormous speed of economic development , which we directed against the global market and to global competition . 
fourthly , from the above emerges from the principle of being given to states which have been incorporated until after the negotiations a fair chance to join with the amendments that have taken up again . 
in the areas in which they need to make massive investments and , ultimately , to achieve the levels of the eu , must be borne in mind that , at the same s circumstances , the current members also disfrutaron for long periods . 
at the border police and the fight conra crime are applied equally our standards and the benefits of european cooperation . 
look again at commercial movements which now exist between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . 
i was delighted that the commissioner has begun , at last , to inform the people that the fears of those who talk ought not to be true . 
this compromise , which they themselves purchased , must be adhered to be possible to adherence to the european union . 
here we need the support of the commission - it may have the necessary will , at times we lack of ammunition indispensable . 
this is something needed if we , as the european union , should set the objectives sliding towards the implementation of our own internal reforms . 
however , there are points and questions of magnitude of those who differ . 
it is detrimental to the european union itself , to its future free-standing connected with america and also to a defence and security policy shared european . it also makes risks with russia and other countries . 
we expect to see results and that there has to adjourning to another igc what to do so that enlargement can take place . 
. ( fr ) i shall be brief , as i was just now , as , in my first speech , i damper three minutes ago . 
it is very important - and here i am delighted that the commission will work in an information campaign , which commissioner verheugen desires which is both large and disbursed . 
but , and will be my last speech , because i will make it quite clear : i am not pessimistic in this respect , i do not ando with chiquitas , like to see an optional forceful about enlargement - to be credible , we must also be taken seriously , we must see it , we must also be able to take up the accession of the people , of the peoples of the candidate countries and of our peoples . 
at the moment , i see no need to talk about the financial perspective in relation to enlargement . 
i can say today about a single country . 
that is why it has received , it is also a desire to join the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . 
i have been given a mandate to be rapporteur with regard to estonia . 
as conservative , i am very careful with our taxpayers ' money . 
i believe that only then would have an idea rough than people have succeeded in latvia in recent years . 
this is not enough , the collective strategy must be directed more looking towards the citizens . 
lithuania has a considerable potential for economic growth in the long term . 
in the broadest sense it is the european union 's cooperation with the russian federation . 
and this is a sensitive issue : the support of the public , inside and outside the european union . 
following an intelligent fiscal policy , direct foreign investments of last year exceeded the 5.450. million . 
we do not want to interfere , far less us germans . 
democracy slovak evolves so stable already and we have seen the opposite . 
in this speech , i want to highlight and systematize all six points in developments hungarian for accession to the european union , worthy of particular interest . 
i am therefore delighted to see that we have discussed the matter with the general report on the extension of the union . 
finally , i must mention a cloud ominous hanging over europe and i must state that i personally . 23 years officers secrets bulgarians launched a campaign criminal in western europe and attack individuals , including my friend georgi markov , writer publicised and integral part of the media , who was murdered in a street in london in open up . 
the creation of a high level panel is something which i recommend my fellow members . 
the report we have the honour to them and which has also been approved unanimously in committee notes that the part of the territory controlled by the legal authority fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . 
for this purpose , and without prejudice , of course , on the part of the commission , the representative of the cfsp , mr solana , will play a key role . 
the main problem for malta remains , however consists of which the accession process is enjuiciado in different ways of the government and opposition and the eu attaches importance to this accession process goes so continued . 
even within the eu and mexico levels are closest . hence in the field of internal market we opted for a strategy bien recapacitada , flexible and appropriate to this challenge . 
but i would also like to say here that i regard vis-à-vis the citizens of the countries of eastern and central europe , who over ten years have had the courage to go onto the streets and launch the process . 
the information society is important both for the old and for the new industry . 
we cannot leave cegar for the percentages of community law incorporated into national legislation . 
this means that the environment alone will recover so sensitive in eastern europe give full of 15 to 20 years now . transpires unacceptably long . 
this also applies to the transport of live animals for slaughter , as something degrading . 
now we are trying to impose this obligation to carry out assessments of the health implications for all the legislation of importance . 
my opinion report must also speak of the european union and must make clear that european funds for regional development cannot continue to otorgándose based on a mere sharing-out bookkeeper between regions or localities . 
elmar brok began rightly your speech to the view that we shall all be recipients of enlargement , in particular , we have to deal with this side of the existing external frontier . 
inland navigation is crucially important for environmental reasons because we have to get off the road haulage and unless you are able transportarlas onto the railways then we must use the inland sea and rivers . 
it was also a question of selfishness and especially of populism , and switching to the poor of the euro has not helped certainly along the road . 
our message to the candidate countries are as follows : there is no longer muddling through the extension of the reports before us , of dossiers . 
unfortunately , at the moment there are many parties that we have removed the mask ideological and show so few ideals and too materialism . 
if necessary postponing the right to free the acquisition of land and accommodation for use family , let us do so . 
there is thus far but he can put at risk in the absence of transparency and resistance selfevident . but not public , a number of governments . 
furthermore , how are the million jobs by the maastricht treaty ? 
at the moment we are revising the treaties , some states are calling for a new reform . 
the majority of international studies show that enlargement means profits macroeconomic . 
however , other minorities negligible , no political group query the main objective of the common slovenian , namely to join as soon as possible in the european union . 
when the union had been expanded rapidly , should be diferenciarla of markedly , as stated in the position on enlargement adopted by the european liberal , democrat and reform party . 
for me there is no doubt that the obligatory regime and institutional operating in that country da following many longterm consequences for the health of the orphans . 
like you to support the relevant amendments . 
indeed we politicians europeans , we say very little understanding in the negotiation process . 
cyprus will be a sort of bridge to the countries of the region . 
i wish to negotiators to continue its work successfully with this important area . 
it is important another form of communication between our countries and countries which seek accession for passing on of what is involved in the european union . 
we should not be the luxury of losing occasions such as those who were there at the 1990s . 
mr president , first i would like socialist rapporteur for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur on his excellent report . 
it is for the institutions , for the member states , for us all , to be up to this challenge , also as regards the fears of our own public opinion , and of regain the encouragement , ambition and a vision of europe 's founding fathers . 
unfortunately , i feel that this enlargement process despite the many and flowery words and the applied openness and closure of numerous chapters , is not driven by the council with the necessary energy policy . 
some member states afrontaron similar problems sometime in their development and can only recommend to bulgaria to assist in surmounting those with which we face today . 
democracy is not just about majorities we should instead of a balanced participation of minorities . 
the applicant countries must be regarded as equals and adherence depend solely on their own development . 
at the same time we have to recognize the efforts of member states as lithuania , in order to make up for lost time . 
so it is in our interest to extend our legal system and of government to romania and this is undoubtedly an argument in the debate with our public opinion . 
however , there is a subject on the basis of which there is great interest , namely enlargement . 
my group is therefore periods of transition periods in environmental matters to a maximum of five years . 
mr president , it is imperative that we give them a positive influence on enlargement . 
certainly the debate persists with regard to the order of receipt of these countries , because we have to see the progress of its internal reforms . 
i am glad that the report is so much to be welcomed and slovenia has made efforts really so massed in meeting the criteria - which i have seen on several occasions as head of the delegation whilst also come up with the commissioner . 
in my opinion , this proposal is to be examined . 
these forms of violence and trade in women should be condemned and tackled at using every means at both the eu and candidate countries . 
finalising , in this connection , i would like to share the thoughts and ideas of many of our members regarding the need to examine , for once attentively , the issue of the borders of europe and therefore , that of how long it will expand and that of whether to draft a report dealing separate from the european parliament . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
occasionally we say here that in a europe of citizens , allowances should be enshrined properly in the european legislation . 
we shall now proceed to vote on the postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . 
we know that the undesirable substances which are looking at almost never impinge on immediately , but are pollutants in the long term , cargoes of long life and acumulables , such as dioxins , the aflatoxinas , and metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . 
we cannot find culpable . 
if permits " dilute " products in this case , we must demand the least that this should be sent to the control services and that should be made public that the product has been diluted . indeed , it also needs to be familiarizing and hold a public debate on this issue . 
however , it is clear that the dioxin crisis was the result of criminal acts that contravenían existing rules . 
mr president , i would like to thank the members who spoke before me . 
it is absolutely vital . 
for example , the limit value for fish meal is other than that which is proposed for animal-based products not sailor . 
it is time to wipe out the interpretation of the principle of subsidiarity , which aims to increase increasing the subjugation in brussels on our nations . 
like the rapporteur , i think there are grounds for doing all these things and to ensure that we analyse the substance for which you mentioned , although they are not toxins for themselves , show increases in the highest quality . 
unfortunately we have lost a lot of expertise legacy , as a farmer , in an industrial production in which animals have been reduced to be production plants and goods . 
the new regulations fusionarán , armonizarán and would simplify must-have hygiene very complicated and detailed that so far been esparcidos numerous directives . 
according to my enquiries , the number of people who are reporting on the specific content is relatively small . 
secondly , it is clear that in spite of everything is going to change affecting the farmers , who are the producers of raw materials used in animal feed . in future , they are being forced to destroy a substantially larger number of consignments of raw materials . 
these damages are needed , although it is clear that the farmers themselves are esmeran maximize to garnatizar the health of animals . 
amendment no 18 propose explicitly to include water in the definition of feedingstuffs . 
on the basis of these scientific assessments of the element of risk , the commission will propose to member states accompanying measures to restrict the presence of these substances in animal feed . 
having considered the tabled amendments to be adopted during this sitting , i am grateful for your support for the proposal . 
generally speaking , therefore , the commission can accept 15 of the 27 amendments . 
i i assume that is now and will not be more . 
the commission is committed to elaborarla and has also announced that it will not be able to complete it by overnight . 
farmers simply need to hear in more detail , also in numerals percentage - at least when it soliciten- , everything containing compound feedingstuffs and to what extent is here . 
graefe zu baringdorf , and also to mrs roth-behrendt on their reports and to express the hope that the council has taken a constructive position on these matters and we can establish a common system of pronouncement more transparent for feedingstuffs . 
all this will clearly be the subject of bse , which has been a clear ongoing saga , with different outbursts . 
we cannot endorse the use of poisons , harmful to human health and animal . 
but let us start by positively . 
the present proposal is the first in a number of initiatives based on the white paper on food safety . 
thank you , commissioner . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by mr queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and on the way the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] 
report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of romania to the european union and the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] 
thirdly , perhaps the most difficult , if the council produce new institutional steps to enable the community to act in an effective , efficient and democratic post-enlargement . 
although we agree with the principles of article 13 , clearly secondary legislation which the european union produces after that arrives at times far away , and that there is no reason for denying the candidate countries a claim on the differentiation culturally . 
in conclusion , i emphasize the fact that the enlargement process must be progressive , at the rate of the adaptation of the candidate countries . 
. in the present climate and given the voices which have started to oírse attacking enlarging the european union , it is important that parliament gives a clear political signal in favour of it . 
. ( fr ) since its inception , the european union 's purpose is to reclassify on people . 
the criteria of copenhagen council in 1993 on democratisation and the ability to compete strengthened , for your acquis communautaire , the rule of a unbridled capitalism and destructive . 
under these conditions , a rush forwards with enlargement is in danger of accentuate the flow populist and fascistoides who talk here and elsewhere . 
on the agenda of this sitting is just a report on equal opportunities between men and women who were to give an indication of how poor results is making the acquis communautaire on practical matters in this area . 
who could indeed refuse entry to our european home to the poland 's copérnico and of john paul ii , the hungary martyred in 1956 in budapest , or the capital-símbolo , prague , when democracies grass-root defenestraban at the head of state and aplastaban the people of jan palach , inmolado freedom fighters ? 
a greater europe and all the more tasks require new and more funds . 
i should like to greetings to the elderly and pensioners in estonia trusting that we should take account of its ability to live within the european union . 
if latvia is progressing and the european union befit the institutional structure and its policies to deal with enlargement , i see no reason why it latvia should not be able to join the union . 
if lithuania is progressing and the european union befit the institutional structure and its policies to deal with enlargement , i see no reason why it lithuania should not be able to join the union . 
in the environmental field , too , verified by progress obvious , with the creation of ' national fund for environmental protection ' and with the application of the principle of ' contaminador-pagador " . 
by allowing the entry of poland into the common house , the eu will justice with the freshly arrival : justice which it has been negada for too long . 
i look forward to the speedy adoption of the czech republic . 
i welcome the report queiró on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and i agree with most of the again borne out in the rapporteur . 
i look forward to bulgaria joins the union in the not-too-distant future . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
this is a point of view fair and balanced that the council of ministers should be given serious consideration . 
it is true that the negotiations that were held under the auspices of the united nations will produce results , so that both countries , greek cypriot and , profiting together for the benefit of joining the eu in the republic healed . 
. i warmly welcome the poos report on the subject of cyprus to join the european union . 
however , we consumers , we are in the last stage of the food chain and therefore we are the receiving end of the abuse and of counterfeits food . 
we particularly concerns the fact that , at european level and in concrete terms , food safety departs from the dehesa to table . 
precisely because we are in favour of the development of cooperation , in actual fraternales and between partners truly equal , amongst all the countries of the world , we do not intend , with our vote , to masking a superchería . 
the council inform parliament before the vote in committee , but at a time tiny , ruling out by this wittingly any possibility of a debate mini me or with parliament . 
in my report advocate greater representation and involvement of ngos , greater accountability to parliament , to draw up an annual report to be discussed in parliament and the highest possible level of transparency , promoting the memory of the past in the fight prejudices and to recognise the multiple discrimination . 
at the same time , however , we must take into account the legitimate interests of employees . 
as a primarily responsible for resolving the problems of discrimination at work , the social partners are at an advantage to suggest solutions implementable . 
jenny was from collective " access charter ' . it was the coordinator of the group and i for one invited the hearings on article 13 . 
praxis because the guidelines and action programmes to encourage the member states to combat discrimination based on the same premises and that the commission is able to fulfil its role as guardian of the treaties and also of pioneer in social debate . 
while the present legal basis liberates credits for new preparatory actions , it should be financed under this heading could lead to a reduction in appropriations for other policies . 
we are discussing a proposal for a framework directive necessary but insufficient , whose arrangements will have the opportunity to perfecting a after a period of application . 
i hope the commission to study carefully the legislation on animal sex discrimination in the light of this new directive . 
i welcome the commission and those members who have produced the report . 
i welcome the recommendation of the mann report to give the organizations of an ideological the opportunity to ask for the staff certain requirements for the office in connection with such a nature . 
the speed with which the institutions have been able to use the powers of amsterdam , commissioner , how the european union is still pioneer in equal opportunities , and i would like to thank quite explicitly to the european commission on this . 
the presence of discriminations in very different types order into the community confirming the importance of the action programme which is the subject of the report by mr cashman . 
mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , would like to express my concern that is the way in which europe and the member states are confronted with the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia . 
can you tell the commissioner why the commission is desentiende from this ? 
secondly , although i recognise the importance , in my opinion is a problem which will be invited ngos to be involved in implementing the programme , regardless of its size , its characteristics and its action . 
the liberal group and democratic has considered this , and particularly the work of parliament who wanted to insist , including and especially in the prevention of terrorism , not to mention the good practices . 
it represents a challenge to all of us because all pass judgment on people for the first impression . 
mr president , combating and legislate against discrimination equates to recognise that there are designs which are often ' legalizadas ' because they are trivializadas . 
firstly , the cnucyd , the united nations conference on trade and development , launched in 1963 in geneva the principle of inequalities countervailing so as to discrimination . 
indeed , information and awareness-raising are of crucial importance in this area , they must be used as detonating to instil a new mentality , a new way of thinking and of being so that we venzan radically these prejudice still holding out between people and the safeguarding genuine equality of all citizens in terms of rights . 
it is therefore important to move forward with the two legislative initiatives that are now under discussion , but mejorándolas in some respects and increasing the sums provided for the financing of the programme reflecting the political importance that combating discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the basis of adjustments- reasonable , and there have been leading sweden and ireland , secures now that employers across europe adapt their places of work , equipment and specialist modificarán will assume its working practices in such a way that employee disabled really have a fair chance . 
article 13 of the beginnings of a new eu objective : combating discrimination or the discrimination between the citizens of the causes listed in the same . 
secondly , i would point out is unfortunately a grave error on the commission with this first package at the prioritising of grounds for discrimination . 
mr president , discrimination on grounds of religion is just as unacceptable as any other form of discrimination . 
as the secular unconvinced that i am , would not therefore accept it . 
however , the generous idea of thanks to all citizens the easiest possible at all be compatible with identical degree of freedom for everyone , clashes , even today , with barrier : some of fact , some of law . 
one of the directives already adopted in record time , and i look forward to the other is adopted in november , during the french presidency . 
some do not comply with other legal requirements , for example , the amendment relating to the provisions of the council . 
however , i cannot accept amendment no 38 which proposes abolishing article 5 details of the difference in treatment on grounds of age that can be justified . 
parliament has referred to the question of the conformity of contracts . 
this is the first time that we allow projects that joint action programme . 
manifestly , the more all-purpose be the code , it will be more effective . 
article 7 of the code obliging the member states to commit itself to prevent exports that we divert towards end-users undesirable . 
. ( it ) mr president , i am nostalgically at the time when the european parliament , as well as from the various peace movements and trade unions , we incitaba to reflect and to work towards gradual reduction in the manufacture of weapons and we wondered how to make output gulf war in civilian production . 
in view of the situation in which we are now the world and our continent after the end of the cold war and the breakdown of the equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , such an approach would be irresponsible . 
these weapons are being made , as it were , in the symbol of anarchy in various parts of the world . 
the common foreign comprises actions to combat crises beyond the limits of the eu and not something that can be seen as common defence policy . 
they aim to prevent arms exports to the governments to commit violations of human rights , to areas of conflict and to regions thrown into a race to armaments . 
the commission , in close collaboration with member states , actively involved in drawing up a joint action of the european union on small arms and light weapons . 
in accordance with the agenda , the commission hastening to make a statement on the area of research in europe . 
intruding forms of intervention in the longer term , mid-term reviews of the advocacy of projects and funding institutionally , utilization of the instruments with variable-geometry offered by the treaty , and detailing the eu 's involvement in national programmes , as provided for under article 169 of the treaty . 
what we want to strengthen , is this aspect of hierarchy , and that depends on the manner of speaking time . 
you say that he can see a complete shake-up of the framework programme . 
i think that we need something which structured the european research area , that is something that goes beyond the framework programme which is as an addition to national programmes , we need an element structuring , which means that we must accept formulae . 
thank you for your words and its constructive approach . relating to the reflections on the stoa , i believe we must do something together , because it is something that concerns the house , the joint research centre , to institutes in forward here in several member states . 
it appears that the commission is heading in leaps and bounds towards establishing the european research area . 
there will be a chapter binned on science , society and its citizens . 
there have been contacts with the greek authorities , irish and portugal to ask the government of those countries which expedited the submission to the commission of its visions of the cohesion fund . 
perhaps the non-existence of service which have just mentioned , and that existed in the committee anterior- alone has the cohesion fund could be more specific elements . 
my second question is : regardless of the cohesion fund , there are the community support framework , the structural funds and regional programmes , etc. what countries have had projects definitive and what firewalls to which countries have already approved ? 
in 1989 the commission submitted a new proposal which would offer greater flexibility . 
bolkestein and , despite the fact that the general rule in the treaties bans the copper more by foreign companies which in the home , we should implement the legislation on general fair competition in europe where taxation is quite disproportionate . we need to review the effects that can come in its current legislation on competition , despite the general rule in which these matters are prerogative of member states . 
if we wish to retain the fuel , the way of doing this through taxation , and not by any other forms of taxation . 
i would say to mr purvis that of the natural disadvantages regional is something which probably lies with national governments , because some of the electorate is in these areas remote and peripheral regions . 
mr president , commissioner , thank you for the information . 
the spring , and the summer hat , the commission drew up an overall study of its activities and human resources . 
some people would argue . 
children are used more and more for tourists and businessmen that , in the main , hail from europe . 
the commission is convinced that all firms will be prepared in good time for the final step into the euro , including the adapting their systems and software . 
the debate político-filosófico is no longer on the agenda , but in general we can look at the dangers of a referendum , but perhaps in another context . 
the same applies to efta . 
it has recently sent an reminder counterweight to the french authorities . 
with regard to the candidate countries , i can tell you that we have held meetings with them on this issue of animal transport and reached agreement exploratory . 
however , to the season for sows from last spring the commission was informed that had been interceptado seeds imported from traditional varieties of different species , including cotton , containing traces of genetically modified seed . 
however , following consultation with your staff , i am able to inform the honourable member for a directive on the electrical goods , the directive on the bounds of tension electricity , and the directive on team of radio and terminals for telecommunications , prescribe requirements regarding safety this equipment for private use or in the workplace . 
is will agree with me , however , that in this case the distinction between safety at work , in a class schooling or to a child to do their homework is a false distinction ? 
perhaps estreche hand-in-hand by president khatami . 
today aung san suu kyi were to be subject to operated on house arrest . 
so i am reluctant to go further in terms of trade or to counsel more action on trade and investment . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
my informers touched on some of the meetings electioneering , for example , whom we have experienced . 
questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . 
what we would like this report consolidated european which was published and subjected to consideration of this parliament . 
we should concentrate on going on there produce weapons instead to consider how to compete with other countries weapon manufacturers globally . 
the five permanent members of the security council , which reputedly conducive to our security , supposed to pay particular attention to these proposals and negotiations as soon as possible a cosy really worthy of the twenty-first century . 
the debate today is an important step on the reform process which began the prodi commission just over a year . 
i cannot help feeling that in its quest for making a proposal within the time limit set by the white paper on the reform , the commission does not atendió appropriately into the details . 
i therefore propose that both the auditor and the internal auditor make annual reports detallando their activities . 
the van hulten report aggravated again quite rightly , differentiating whereby the commission wants frightening , good incentives for the exchange of best practices between the institutions . 
let us hope that this does not happen again ! 
if fix them now and in the institutions incredible that we should use to the whole hierarchy independence that the committee of wise men have said . 
in the past , we have found in very many times that excessive delay in the decision-making generaba frustration among complainants and a loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
i should like to tell the commissioner that this report is merely an interim measure , and an interim stage means that it is the first step in building a bridge between the system we have now screening and the system we want to see after the reform . 
this is the purpose of the proposal . 
only when this happens next intends to introduce the sampling , selecting , which is often . 
consequently , beyond the mere words , we are aware that the task is not so easy . 
of course , we think that neither politicians nor the technicians in no way can we tackle the problem on our own . 
the majority of children and adolescents increases but , fortunately , in an environment which has no this type of problem areas . 
i fully agree with mr prodi for the development of this catalogue similar to a constitution , i feel it is clear that there should be given the principle of subsidiarity and the eu should therefore refrain from any policy to the large number of areas where the political initiatives are not transboundary . 
information from globally and in all areas of knowledge comes at a very short time available to houses and the communication from the entire world is for them to experience daily . 
apprehended very shortly afterwards , declared themselves in policemen . it is remarkable that in the series television , they are not being chasing too readily " . 
the lions - and i will end here , mr president , you cannot solve everything , but they must occasionally reminded the rights and obligations of both . 
i am also very receptive to the remarks made about education , for the training to learn to read images , on the awareness of the younger generations to take a closer approximation criticism of the medium-sized and not languish anything , at any time and in any way . 
nothing will do more damage to the views that are form to the fact that a report like this cannot forward or not to be possible increased mobility or not to begin , at least , to break down the barriers to the facing today educational mobility . 
the outstanding problems from member states are kinds of , for example , different rules on social security , scholarship and right of residence , taxation and the lack of mutual recognition of diplomas and of the stages . 
it is high time that europe lends once more attention to the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and the youth for europe . 
experience on the mobility of students and teachers shows that the real difficulties for freedom of movement does not lie in both the governments of education , but rather in the fields of action taken by the governments of the social security , for finance and immigration . 
mention has been a case of this socrates . 
there must be clear , inspection controls plain , either by sampling , and above all , the ombudsman , a website , where the pupils can collect their complaints . 
that is why we are asking to be incorporated into the category of researchers in the scope of the recommendations . 
it is easy to do so in a speech , but not in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate his actions , similar to the president chirac and mr joska fischer . 
the union must speak with one voice in foreign policy and reflect a capacity for common defence and security . 
we need a forum for decision-taking coping with issues instrumental to both sides of migration flows , the transfer of production factors , the energy supply . 
the proposal for a resolution on the commission 's reports , on which you are going to vote on , is lot about this . 
this is clearly in the report prepared by the finnish presidency on women in decision-making . indicators which he has made will make it possible to assess progress . 
apart from the conference of ministers and the symposium on equal proficient , two documents all-important , specifically dedicated to equality , but corresponding to the council on employment and social affairs , are very laudable . 
the second relates to the principle of non-discrimination , including the one based on sex . 
with regard to the reports , i must say incidentally - the madam president-in-office of the council also took up this - that one of the major problems in the union is of course widely cultural differences . 
the reports before us are a good example of this . 
we must ensure that the directive on equal opportunities actually becomes part of the rules . 
i believe that this method , adopted firstly from finland , is workable in many sectors and , since it forms part of the strategy of equality between men and women from the commission , we can expect much of it . 
on behalf of equal opportunities , french women were seized , thanks to europe , the right to work at night . 
as a frenchwoman , this vision of the world me particularly foreign . 
despite these reservations , we will vote for this report , because of course we are in favour of equal opportunities , but this is mainly respect for everyone . 
they take away from mothers ' freedom to educate our children unpaid , he will go down the bill later in the form of crime youth and vandalism . 
in this context i would remind our report on the division of the derived rights pensions in the event of divorce whereby pensions for survival and pensionable age were incorporated at long last to the directive in 1979 . 
the polish women we were very grateful for having made it clear that the rapporteur present there not convey the attitude of the polish women . 
greater involvement of women at all levels of government and in all walks of life is essential to give deepening of democracy and establishing and maintaining peace . 
finally , i should like to say to the situation of women in the candidate countries to join the european union . 
the council , especially those who make it up , they have here the important task of leant on europe in the fight against people-traffickers to exploitation of women . this slave trade is not something that responsible politicians circumvent , shirk or ignored . 
as the reports and speeches that we are examining today we can make , as we had a lot of us that the problem of equality is a problem structural in nature and that , in dealing with it , we need global strategies , because women are not a category of a social group homogenous or any one group . 
of course , i was a little sad to see that maria of belém roseira already was not in this job . 
two of you mentioned new social rights , new rights tax . 
thirdly , because these are the basis strategic not only for the european union - even the have at our disposal a picture of the situation in the charter of fundamental human rights has played an important role - but also at national level , as can the member states through benchmarking determine national targets . 
the joint debate is closed . 
these amendments must be entenderlas in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , parliament can compromise on not insisting on the amendments on comitological because they have been resolved in a way for the new interinstitutional framework . 
however , i still think that the text adopted at the time for parliament responded much better with the new realities rooted in the internal market and the liberalisation of trade , insofar as the elements to clarification and control which introduced amendments not accepted entail greater guarantees that the regulations were to be met and that we were going to follow the same processes in terms of its implementation . 
if we want to third countries accepting compromises , the european community must be the first celosa in ensuring compliance with its own standards , because if a country has the opportunity to put on the community products on the path of smuggled in what is going to harassing in negotiations with us in any form sop ? 
furthermore , the amendment by parliament on the customs formalities through declarations , it endorsed by the council , will lead to the customs administrations of member states to be equipen with the means it supervisory latest . 
but now it is too late for you to take the vote and the members have voted in favour . 
votes ( continuation ) 
report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) on the commission 's annual reports ' equal opportunities for women and men in the european union - 1997 , 1998 and 1999 " [ com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ] committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities . draftsman : lone dybkjær . 
it is not the first time that i am speaking about the mobility of students and the european corps of teachers . 
it is important , because it occurs at a critical time for the european union : that of enlargement . 
discrimination not addressed creating jobs but by changing the additional administrative mentality of persons . 
i voted against the mann report , therefore , although we do indeed need to try to achieve equality of treatment in employment and labour , we should go rutting so much so abandon all protection of fundamental freedoms and respect for the rule of law . 
as i am convinced secular , could i associate myself with it . 
the pne welcomes this directive and its aim to abolish discrimination at work . 
in order to prepare a directive plausible and viable cannot cargarla of florituras or illusions , there is no expected of a legislative text . 
however , the eplp has serious reservations on the following areas . 
there are elements which , in our view , be be left to the member states , such as the aplicaión general , the provision of training for workers in certain age groups , the nature of the system of mediation and the way in which smes to interpret the directive . 
mr hulten quite rightly points out in this very interview that we can only begin with a positive agenda once they have been solved problems such as fraud , waste and the lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process . 
the reason for my vote on this report does , in essence , with the question of closer relations between the european union and nato and with the move towards a common defence policy . 
the report is also arms exports to europe as a way of solving conflicts within the territories aligned . 
but i do not accept that people should be a common defence policy and a policy of european defence and security within nato . 
children are the main victims of violence televised . 
i am glad that it has been taken this study . 
at community level we will stand as a committee of experts on a mandate to produce a petition which sets out the general principles for the protection of minors confronted by any means . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it is particularly interesting that , for the first time , is clearly a need for assessing the effectiveness of the political initiatives with the commission 's annual reports . 
peru 
mr president , in peru are currently moments of dithering and all alimentamos the hope that the current situation will be resolved through a process in which we can all civil and political rights , which is needed to strengthening and consolidation of democracy and peace in peru , a country which has suffered 25 ,000 lives over the last fifteen years . 
the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which were developed in the elections peruvian at last may were not accepted . 
b5-0793 / 2000 by mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european united left / nordic green left , on the situation of women in afghanistan . 
so i think it is good that the resolution contains several points clear and unequivocal specifically relating to the position of women and point out how necessary it is that we are trying to help prevent the taliban continue its total discrimination against women . 
in the eu has an important task . 
it cannot be recognizing on the part of any member state until sustain the policy on human rights violations , particularly systematic discrimination against women . 
and this we need to take this into account in the european institutions and also that planting drugs are used to buy arms . 
however , will give it its full support to the neighbouring countries in order to help them to improve its resources in order to combat this evil . 
i think it is very timely reminder to the need for the european union starts to draft a policy of comprehensive nature of latin america which possibly could prevent these countries are crossing periodically crisis-management such as those that have occurred in some of them . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and parliament we can only with great satisfaction that liberated from the jesuita spaniard and mr alejandro matos castro , back last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 by mr haarder , on behalf of the party of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : outlawing of higher education and universities . 
consequently , all we would greatly for the problem of higher education finally appears to work towards a solution really positive . 
this is in my view , a good example to all the countries bordering on which no one can only sow threats by means of education , as is currently very often , but that education can also serve as cradle to coexistence multi-étnica peace-oriented . 
i too would have preferred to have found a solution which mereciera acceptance of all the parties represented in parliament . 
let me take this opportunity to say that the commission has already had a very good experience so far as the collaboration with the high commissioner , mr van der stoel , are concerned . 
we are today debating in the house just to express our sorrow . we are debating chiefly on what has happened , about why this has happened and how to remedy the situation , how can we help from now on , the commission and the european parliament , so that those facts are not repeated in future . 
in any case , mr president , we approve of this joint motion for a resolution , which we support as it stands , as a matter of urgency , and of course , based on what i mentioned earlier , we do not agree with the amendments that have been tabled again as urgent . 
concerning amendment on working conditions , there is a directive on this subject , apart from the wording of amendment no so satisfactory as the text . 
that is simply not acceptable for the islands northern and eastern scottish , neither is for the potential route from the north sea to the european continent , which i hope will be set up in the near future . 
i am glad that the greek government has suspended the exemption in the meantime . 
consequently , the commission contacted the greek government immediately the wreck of the samina express and asked for information on the application of community law in force . 
therefore , i should like to make the following question : would appreciate that the put to the presidency and i wonder whether as well as abolishing the friday some have begun to delete also thursday . 
i would like to say that , on the part of the european union , are under way mechanisms to ensure that as soon as the will of the people of the serbian nation is respected , i.e. at the moment we have a government sustained by people who voted through the ballot box as mr kostunica and we will be : first , an immediate lifting of sanctions and , secondly , a package of financial support which may help to the serbian people to re-establish its economy . 
it may be decided at the moment in the streets of belgrade if the democratic change are about to enter and if it can be made peacefully . 
we condemn all the measures that can be seen as provocations , especially as regards the holy places of jerusalem . 
we must tenderle hand-in-hand with a more symbolically - as we have heard from mr , mr javier solana to that meeting in zagreb . 
the strange thing is the fact that the police and the israeli army have used bullets of fragmentation , bullets that when reach the corps burst in tens of shreds and they are banned internationally , even in the fights between soldiers , and we now have been used against citizens . 
i think that europe can play a major and must play a major part in this respect transparently and decisiveness . 
so we must do everything within our power to stop this fire as soon as possible . 
we must avoid the provocation of the action of ariel sharon . 
today the same thing has happened , and it will impede and prevented from europe , in all these years , have an mediating role in the middle east , leaving such a role to us . 
there sacrificaremos to the serbian people on behalf of our objectives elevated and moral , because that would spell the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . 
madam president , the last point i would like to suggest that , as soon as possible and as having a new yugoslav regime , we send a parliamentary delegation in planning , together with the new yugoslav regime , rebuilding a new serbia . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , obviously we are witnessing today probably historic in this parliament , the day on which could become an end to one of the last cornerstones of a totalitarian regime in europe . 
mr president , the problem arises because of the german file to the urgent topics - and i am not sure whether the same applies to the other language versions lingüísticas- only includes the amendments by the gue group . it lacks the motions for resolutions and the joint text . 
mr president , i should just like to draw your attention on the lot of documents which have brought this week to vote . 
if parliament could table amendments to the council decision probably would remind the social problems and unemployment croatia 's derived from the diet set for this country , but in these circumstances there is no legal basis for this type of amendment . 
this is an opportunity to maintain the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . 
mr president , yesterday evening , we are discussing serbia and on the revolutionary changes taking place there . 
so i urgently call on members and , in particular to the council , that during the negotiations of next year 's budget and the following years correspond to the full to the commission proposal which , in my opinion , carried out a better evaluation of the total costs in croatia and also in other parts of the balkans . 
in 1990 elections were held democratic , which were considered internationally as free and fair . 
so yes , in the financial support yes , to guarantee this , but also a strong request to the commission to support fully to this country profoundly european , we already ruled democratically in accordance with the rule of law , and to put it on the list of candidates for accession , because i believe that croatia has earned our total support . 
like the rapporteur , i wonder if in practice there will be of money for this purpose , above all , bearing in mind that , in short , we need to create a comprehensive flux monetary towards serbia and that the european budget will not increase . 
also delegations in croatia and in the european parliament asked the council to extended the mandate of the eib . 
i hope that begin as soon as possible contacts and , as well as for croatia was grant aid and the serbian people which deserves all our respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
it is therefore with this spirit that we are inviting the women of the european parliament to participate in this delegation , tuesday and wednesday will have a list and we shall harvest signatures and accessions to the delegation , particularly in the spirit of institute for women bridges peacekeeping where , however , there is violence . 
in short , there have been more suffering for the basque people and the spanish ; yes , spanish and basques are tired of the current conflict . 
madam president , you will recall that in the last part-session , evoqué the plight of the defender of democracy briton , james mawdsley , which had been illegally detained by the burmese authorities . 
madam president , in my case it is really a point of order . 
in fact , this report ostensibly technical , which does not seem bringing big changes of political order is extremely important given that , through the back door , introduces the possibility of using genetic engineering of an winegrowing genetically modified . 
if we do not agree on the report would have postponements . 
the council of state , as you said rejected this resource and we learnt in due form this desestimación . 
but now the case is repeated and affects a colleague who , while it is ppe , does not belong to my political realm in italy . 
that is why it aboguemos by introducing a scoreboard system , and has been done for the internal market , with clear measures , with maximum periods and with time limits . 
madam president-in-office , i hope the council modelled on parliament 's expectations and i hope that at the nice summit targeting translated into a european social agenda ambitious objectives with which we can continue to work together in the coming years . 
after the informal meeting on " employment and social policy ' on 8 july 2001 in paris , the presidency has sought to all those involved - parliament , of course , economic and social committee , cor social partners , ngos , groups and committees of the council which i am informed her proposals . 
placing the quantitative and qualitative to be a debate disingenuous and lisbon clearly established a dual purpose : more jobs and improved quality . 
need to promote mobility and at the same time securing the journeys practitioners . 
we must try to take stock of gaps remaining in the system and , in any case , them in the agenda . 
open coordination is , in our opinion , the way forward if we are to secure a social europe . 
the implementation of the pretensions social pregonadas at lisbon requires efforts community-wide , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the services , particularly those relating to the information society . 
obviously the cooperation of the commission is important , but social problems have rooted locally and let us manejarlos respecting special circumstances . 
the social acted as a factor for correctness of the effects more harmful of economic policies . 
the original commission proposal was much better unaltered ; congratulations commissioner . 
anna diamantopoulou , for an excellent document . it is an agenda stubbornness and i can remember with even difficulties which we make progress on social protection in the last parliament . 
i think it is very positive and to help reconciling family and professional life of women . 
i sometimes have the impression that with the concept of modernisation is often the devaluing of social protection . 
what are the main points of the text ? 
yet it is difficult to determine european objectives which have the same effect for all member states , as the reality is different for everyone . 
the commission 's 49 amendments . 
arguably that involves only to parliament and the commission , but , commissioner . 
another point is the increase in support of the community in judging the necessity of other initiatives , including , if necessary , the transposition of legislation , equality and the fight against discrimination . 
in the past there have been a good idea or the goodies schemes designed to achieve equality , but often concealed its implementation . 
it is not right that the voice of women is acaparada by a handful of professionals in the claim that live in the injection of public money . 
equality of women and men in civil life , which makes it possible for women plenary enjoyment of human rights and freedoms . 
i hope that , finally , performers boys meet halfway here and curb the role of gender and stereotypes trasnochados . 
i believe that meanwhile should be thanked for having followed the debate , there was not anticipated her presence during this debate . 
competition policy 
we must provide for our companies optimum conditions to be able to plan their production and especially its future . 
consumers must have access to a wide variety of quality products and to competitively-priced , and ultimately that is the reason for moving forward with a single market and , along with this , with free competition , because it helps to all our citizens . 
is that of whether we subsidizing or of the decision not subsidizing within the coal rock . 
point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report talks about legal certainty in dealing with applications for infusion and for shorter periods and effective in appeals to the courts . 
in any case we are talking about public companies which do not owes its strength finance for a faultless corporate government , but for the past , current positions monopoly . 
we need a more introduction of the citizen in the information on competition policy , so that it noting the advantages . 
these are issues of great importance to the regional economy and employment , and i hope that , in future , it is disclosed so that this aid , subventions household affecting the development and the regional economy and its factor exemplary and it is transportation and will continue to be granted . 
this communication contains three messages proper . 
evans for her excellent report on the rules for state aid to the steel industry and on the 8th report on state aid in the european union . 
i would , therefore , to assure the honourable palacio and mr karas , as well as other members who have spoken about these matters , that the rules are very conscious preoccupations . 
otherwise we shall be doing a disservice competition and consumers . 
the debate is closed . 
of the financial instrument implements article 119 of the treaty on european union which is still in force for the third stage of emu only for the member states which are not participating in monetary union . 
mr president , commissioner , honourable ladies and gentlemen , i am grateful for the today we are yet discuss the proposal for a council directive to modify the directive 68 / 193 / eec on the marketing of products used in vegetative propagation of the vine . i also hope a positive vote tomorrow . 
some of them launched , on 5 july , the so-called ' beaune , where voicing their concerns in relation to the introduction of gmos into the profession . 
provisions which allow are also sympathetic to the production of a vegetative material diversified and which offers the best health guarantees , which is fundamental , to accompany effectively the restructuring of vineyards community , calvary of the new organization wine-producing and vineyards . 
we must say that loud and clear , there is no need overloading the articles of the directive by references to directive 90 / 220 on revising the fewer by trying to promote forced genetic modification of the vine . 
i am happy to inform you that we can also accept amendments nos 35 to 40 tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , aimed at strengthening the conversion of safety requirements and management according to directive 90 / 220 . 
i would just mention that there has not asked parliament to express its opinion as such . 
madam president , in relation to paragraph 14 of the minutes on the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of mr pacheco pereira . 
i will be more precise on qualified majority voting . 
on the weighting of votes , and are also on the table it both ways well-known : weighting simply for the benefit of which we confirming a slight , very slight , majorities , either double majority , but with formulas differed , dual simple majority or reponderada or a form of ' mesh size population ' . 
moreover , without prejudice to the needs assessment and coordinate the economic and financial assistance to the federal republic of yugoslavia , which we encomendarán jointly to the european commission and the world bank , the european council in biarritz decided to grant to the federal republic of yugoslavia an initial emergency humanitarian aid of eur 200 million . 
however , you see , if he had to say spontaneous , heartfelt my impression , would then read : regardless of the delicacy of these issues -composición from the commission and facility votación- , nothing will be based on this in order to gauge the success or failure of nice . 
another positive aspect was also the adoption of the charter of fundamental rights by the heads of state and government , however , mr president-in-office , i am bound to recalled at the same time why that was too late . 
we must not be shooting of aburrimiento the spirit of nice and , consequently , there is a top priority in the 50 days that remain : elevate negotiation at political level . 
here i wish to address my fellow members of the european people 's party - and i would ask mr poettering that i escuche- because what we in this house will have to defend misplaced . 
as we know from the activities of the prime ministers and heads in biarritz on the most peliagudas points of the reform of the treaty , the charter probably should become the largest trofeo at nice . 
launching a wider consultation of the people , national parliaments , which would help to bring about a charter profit-driven of truth in requirements , the council would indeed consistent with the aspirational eu citizens . 
therefore , i should like to call on everyone to return to the origins of the union , have the courage which took giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt , when deciding on the election by universal suffrage in the european parliament in 1976 and in 1979 , and we shall have to decide on 2009 at last a president of the european union , president of the commission . 
in that regard i would like to respond to what was said by mr poettering on the division between countries large and small farmers . 
i refer back to a few words on matters of external trade policy , because it is a matter entirely joking ! 
it is , after all , of precious little who pointed all members of the european council . 
a second very positive was drawing up the charter as a whole . 
thereupon , seems to me on this crucial issue for the future of the european union on its way for a decision to biarritz achieved some celebratory and we can only to be welcomed . 
i hope we can still prevail , forge ahead , to achieving results on that at nice . 
i cite two examples : first , we come from the right to work on the right to work on the other , various social rights enshrined in the social charter revised by the council of europe are not part of the charter . 
in the discussions that have been taking place throughout europe , including those in biarritz , it is clear that the larger member states are trying to partly to terrorise smaller member states to reform the eu into line with the line taken by the former and their desires . 
the discontent of both ends bear this out to the negotiators in that pull in the right balance . 
leadership of the european union has clearly formulated a vision . 
the commission based on criteria of depictions of each member state betrays a vision short-sighted . 
a union of this kind would be supranationality and will give the small countries of the union less power than it up bicameral of us attaches to the smaller states americans . 
following the summit in sharm-el-sheikh where were present all those involved in order to find a way of stopping the violence and resume the dialogue between barak and president arafat , we have seen how difficult it is stopping the clashes , even if there was a moment when we felt we would achieve . 
obviously some poor informers they say to mr barón factors which are not certain regards italy and my party . 
it is important for the introduction of the european tax on energy consumption , which has hitherto been blocked by applying the principle of unanimity , preview . 
we should not allow between member states emerges fear of being able to move towards solutions resembling a downwards . 
in my opinion , the convention has produced an excellent report and i am proud to have been a member here . 
in the latter case , the question will be to when will this principle in the rota strictly egalitarian between large and small . 
enlargement in matters of truth for qualified majority voting , together with the codecision procedure , the conservation of article 250 , in its current form , place and role of the committee on closer cooperation , not only on the first pillar : those are certain elements which will allow us to judge instantly when there are , after all , success or failure . 
. ( fr ) mr president , thank initially to jaques , to jacques delors , thanks to altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , thanks to everyone , from vaclav havel until carlo ciampi , since joschka fischer until jacques chirac , since michel barnier to pierre moscovici , since chris patten to cote simitis , including in florence , and the multitude of current meps who have taken up , from 1999 , the internal movement in favour of a european constitution . 
there critiquemos over-utilised to the european dealer , and it is a socialist , which was saying , have given us greater wealth for all . 
let us agree at least on this objective , and as we do , say how this objective . 
i have had , mr president , the gratifying to hear that the proposals tabled recently at the intergovernmental conference coincide substantially with all or part of the criteria which have already outlined . 
. ( fr ) mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you were keen to celebrate , this morning , a debate on the issues on which the house has considered necessary to complete its opinion on the intergovernmental conference which was expressed last april . 
thus , while respecting the constitutional framework exists , it is difficult , let me point out - foreseeing rather than a procedure for consultative opinion of parliament at the outset . 
you well know , this means that we make certain elections , in a widely-ranging far larger than the regulation of the three requirements indicated previously . 
i myself have stressed that the formula adopted to the letter was a path to explore . 
but i got perfectly well that apart from this point linguistically , your question conceals a further concern . 
this is also why i wanted to thank you , on the substance and in the form , the initiative which you have done . 
the implementation of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new bodies which viniesen on top of the union 's institutions . 
it is time to revising the treaties . 
the european council is in breach of the european consensus building by refusing to integrate into the treaties the european charter of fundamental rights , lent a binding legal value and give people whose rights being neglected the possibility of going into the european court of justice . 
otherwise , i believe that we cannot achieve a europe of our citizens . 
paragraph 8 : the constitution will - and i quote , ' issues that have been opened . ' 
so far no one has managed to make myself clear what has changed since then . 
secondly , on the agenda insufficient , who left out very important issues for the future of the union and the interest of citizenship . 
minister , it says that on the eve of revolution bolshevik -acontecimiento that would be very serious consequences for everyone - the orthodox church was facing awkwardness on the design of the bush corresponding to the cuaresma . 
therefore , the partnerships should offer any guarantee that the rapporteur has proposed , open to all , respecting the spirit of the treaties and without objecting to the acquis communautaire . 
however , there is one point i wanted to point out that i do not think it right to require or the thrust towards the call for a referendum obligatory in all member states to adopt the proposed changes . 
gil robles for her work . we held a debate uppermost in depth with two issues which are different , are at one point . 
we are prepared to take care that we should vote during the november part-session , allowing them during the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
what do we mean by ' the introduction of the opportunity to access retirement progressively , through the underemployment ' , but a threat to the retirement age , in spite of everything already excessively high in many countries ? 
we know that both pensioners , these children are happy about the mermeladas . 
my question as to pensioners who sent me here to the european parliament with the pensioners ' party if they would drink wine genetically modified . 
and yet , exceptionally , furnishing of material for vegetative propagation standard when other categories are unable to meet the requirements . 
consequently , i would ask you : do we variations in labour costs are not against this background restricting to competition on the european union ? 
the vote could only be , as has been , against . 
despite the progress towards greater deregulation within the european union , state aid can continue to play a constructive role in achieving economic and social progress . 
in order to protect the environment , public services and to ensure equality of income of the people of the regions economically weaker , this aid may be required . 
we pointed out the danger that also figures in the picture of the european union 's support for little avail after entrench the control of the european union in the important state aid , under the guise of competition in small and medium-sized enterprises . 
section vi - economic and social committee 
examination of the timetable for implementation of the headings 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 of the budget to see that only an average of 8 % of all commitments are covered by payments involved . 
three years ago we put in place our initiative to promote employment with support for the access of smes in venture capital . 
parliament is seen to be done in two ways . 
the european institutions alone have met their responsibility if this is achieved . 
in this context , i would just like to thank the vice-president responsible for budgetary matters , the member gerhard schmid , for their constructive cooperation . 
we want them to maintain its ability to work , but we cannot allow is the institution that less attention paid to the demands of the european parliament as part of the budgetary authority . 
this means that the 2001 will be the last year 's budget complete , and here we must also appreciate the commission 's proposal and it now are presenting to parliament . 
in addition , we want to be reviewed administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 - well 85- the parliament 's committee on budgets has been endeavouring to ensure that the european parliament 's procedures take account of the financial implications of the resolutions we vote plenary . 
and i end , mr president , by thanking the diligence of the other institutions in the development of the joint declaration . 
now we are asking them pronouncing on the assumption that it was amended at first reading by the council . 
with regard to internal policies , the council bowled room prudent with heading 3 , more important than that proposed by the commission . 
i should like , finally , it cannot be given to the financial perspectives on symbolism that ones . 
a study of the three sets of statistics illustrates that there are still considerable differences , even in purely quantitative , both to you , in terms of content . 
i must point out that last year , after a long debate , we reached a new comitology decision by agreement with the council , and i have little hope of its being possible reopening the debate . 
in the financial perspective agreed in berlin for the period until 2006 we foresaw 8.100 million euros for the meda programme . 
solana . i would therefore ask you to both the council and the committee on budgets for parliament to consider the foreign policy and not just in the budget if we look at the external policy . 
the second concerns the aid it has to be supplied to the victims of the violations of human rights requiring treatments into specialist institutes . 
if at the time that we still have we manage to reach a compromise solution which will support the important task of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , we will reach an agreement , otherwise we will maintain our position . 
we have only to look at on our television screens and consider the current difficulties in the middle east to reiterate this every day . 
so i hope that in tomorrow 's vote we are still able obtaining a majority in favour of the monitoring centre in dublin . 
mr president , i should like to make a few comments , starting with the countryside , predicated on the committee on agriculture . 
we have asked to approve a credit indicative of eur 2 m for an information campaign on the cfp . 
the executive should negotiate with arguments to strike a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned is theirs boosting politically these negotiations . 
today we are dealing with the 2001 budget to the image of the people of serbia in our retinas . 
overall , we should like to these amendments were adopted . 
an important way in which the citizens of europe can make sure they will be addressed preoccupations is to call upon the ombudsman or do petitions to parliament . 
first switchover from parliament 's budget . 
for surprise to many of the members of my delegation , in early september we set out unanimously a strategy and basic amendments 400 amendments tabled by some of the people we were to some extent a surprise to many of the members of the committee on budgets . 
it is difficult to believe that the increase in staff can solve the problem of management , if there are still procedures antiquated and complexes in committee and the council to deal with the many problems . 
this house has repeatedly demonstrated in recent years that bases its work on the basis of a rigorous thriftily . 
it is unacceptable for many years we talk despreocupadamente of commitments and it is always to comply with them , but when it comes to pay , then you say they are excessive and let us recortarlos somewhat . 
we put just a few million - may be much more - and at that time are making promises suculentas . then , when really need it , we reject them . 
the 2001 budget , as has already happened with the last year , we have ever had to deal with conflicts practically insoluble among the pressure for consolidation and austerity , as established in the context of the interinstitutional agreement in order to guarantee the financing of enlargement on the one hand and , secondly , the pressing need to finance the stability pact for the balkans . 
calls for greater efficiency and call for more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , in its original version , could start to change the stakes , but the majority of the committee on budgets rejected this idea . thus , the european parliament is preparing , whatever he says , to accept implicitly the council 's position . 
and here the examples are , unfortunately , numerous ; the handling preferred to partnerships with federalist or to the many voluntary organisations with an function , a philosophy and functioning of the most controversial , the financing of european political parties and to amounts engullidas in the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of member states ' is justified euro-11 at a time when the single european currency is experiencing a loss of confidence largely shared by all europeans , from our friends danes until the leaders of the european central bank . 
finally , the member heaton-harris has shown correctly in their amendments the simpleza of many european programmes in the offered to the citizen a story propagandist about european integration and which are , bulbs , funded by the united citizen . 
furthermore , we must also modernize our administrative systems and we must continue , as well , a good example . 
the meda programme , dedicated to the mediterranean basin , geographical area of great strategic importance , it is a good example of lack of capacity to implement . 
if we want to make reductions or find money for category 4 for financing certain priorities , without forgetting that parliament has its priorities , and we clearly state in the vote in committee . 
so we must clarify this figure . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
it means quite simply that there are real elements of flexibility to move in this or that policy , even when jot cannot or do not want to do this , and it is true of the countries of the union also applies to the candidate countries . 
i think that austria cannot complain about what has happened , quite the reverse . 
the recommendations of the regional organisations , such as the experiences of neighbouring countries will undoubtably contribute to the definition of the media . 
in the year 1984 , 0.2 % of landowners in colombia possessed 32 % of the earth . 
the council is not to mention one or other aspect of this , it is an extremely delicate and painful . 
at the same time , nor do they can start doing so deliberating on issues which are , once again , an extremely complicated . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
i therefore i will ensure to give a definitive answer on this difficult issue . 
however , we have sentiment , and they said vindicates somewhat , that the council presidency are not looking very voluntarist when it comes to discuss this issue . 
therefore , the arrival of the tax obviously will not be worthless . 
i would also apologize , but we are to apply the rules of procedure . 
however , i would ask you if i understand that the french presidency does not intend to propose new measures for the introduction of the tobin tax , or i really must take that it is by no means a question of political will , but simply that you too , who are seated in the left the chamber , have reached the conclusion that it is quite impossible implantation in the tobin tax on world is not possible . 
furthermore , pending the adoption of this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies , was taken , in june 2000 , the decision to withdraw materials to present risks concerning these diseases , in order to stop any further progress in the epidemic and to provide consumers with the level the highest possible of health protection . 
i have no other elements that those who have endeavoured to explain to you . 
we continue to and we are well aware of the work of the commission and council on the erika package 1st , however , when it comes to this step , which is known in both countries . known inside the european union , it is a step particularly difficult , at the available large vessels in the interest only a few hours , with the risk that old cascarones come and encallar and to lead a disaster , i would like to know , and especially young people in corsica and sardinia , i would like to know whether there can and should be provided for forbid purely and simply converting the straits of bonifcacio with these large ships , with these large containers . 
i therefore believe that we should support , in principle , the commission 's proposals for amending the staff policy . 
the financial needs new funds cash serbia and kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , i would like to end with this , we are cut notwithstanding all the lines of the budget to eur 50 million to finance the peace agreement between israel and the plo . 
so , from the european parliament will be proposing new measures , which are not directed at both seeking new funding - which we know that in the present circumstances will not be able to ejecutar- but to establish new interinstitutional commitments to improve the quality of expenditure and ensure that we do not lose a euro . 
just think in european politics , and in any other matters , sometimes options temperate cease to be mainstream . 
it is designed to obscure rather than to clarify and i am disappointed with the approach adopted today in relation to the budgeting according to the activities . 
however , one which outgoings are shared by activity , there is also a greater extent how the budget is seen as a political instrument with which the distribution of expenditure traduces clear political priorities . 
and find a solution then multiannual , so that in the coming year and next year 's more we do not also have to go through this debate about how to find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . 
stakeholders in the development of a sustainable agriculture needs to know that the general thrust of the recent reform agreed in berlin is a step in the continued support for products to direct support for farmers ' incomes . 
ladies and gentlemen , the budget is always more than a cold calculation of figures . 
finally , we immoral , mr president , cut expenditure for agriculture policy , for the meda programme , for the excluded social , and we try to ensure the resources for funding the obligations of the european union in kosovo and yugoslavia . 
it is quite simple : last winter serbs cannot die of hunger or cold . 
moreover , i would like to express my concern about the fact that the various parliaments of the young are included in the socrates programme . 
naturally , we must also make it clear that the council to both him and its own business amount of responsibility when it comes to inadequate development in many programmes falling under the heading of external action . 
we need solutions stable around the aid and , more so long-term action that is required in the western balkans . 
i believe that the majority is prepared to accept that , provided that these funds are used in an appropriate way . 
i share the rapporteur , mrs rühle 's concern and criteria alluded to this afternoon on the areas of research and the breadline . 
two weeks ago , we welcome the joint parliamentary assembly gpa . 
at the same time , we demand that the research fund and information equip itself with budgetary resources allocated to research into alternative products for existing tobacco farmers . 
i would like to be very clear that , as far as northern ireland is concerned , the union europeaha had the effect more direct and positive unimaginable . 
in this model respect for the rules and procedures is guaranteed by an independent body and , ultimately , so judges . 
in this way we will reach the newcomers to co-determination at first reading on a text extremely complex and riddled with technical difficulties associated with a sector particularly sensitive to the protection of individual freedom . 
it is excellent that nothing has been fundido their respective roles . 
we know for instance , that the schengen system has stored over 10 million sheets affecting some ecu 1.5 million citizens , that europol is seeing it expanding continually its competences , practise centralisation information from various police services of the 15 member states , and that under the exclusive control of an authority whose power and money are not available to enable it to fulfil really something else . 
that said , we welcome the presence of commissioner to say that it would appear appropriate concern not just about protecting the consumer in relation to the new technologies , but also with regard to the use of these measures to promote the capacity of the citizens of europe in order to do something to interact vis-à-vis the european institutions . 
amendments nos numbered like 1 , 2 , 4 or 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 , 60 to 64 outlining the council 's text to the points on which the commission can give its assent . 
it goes without saying that their opinions on the legislative proposals relating to the protection of personal data will be particularly taken insofar as it constitutes an important contribution to the legislative debate between the institutions . 
the treaty does indeed to ultra-peripheral regions an economic and social situation difficult , aggravated by the hindrances sectional among which the permanence and the interaction inflict damage occurring in the development of these regions . 
it will do so to the promotion of economic and social progress with a high level of employment . 
so i congratulate mrs mrs sudre and look forward to the development of legislation in the commission 's proposals for soon to be considered characteristics , as planned in the article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . 
for many europeans some outermost regions are simply a tourist destination on a map . 
our levels of unemployment are among the highest in the union . 
i welcome the fact that the commission has adopted by a large majority the amendments i tabled . 
in my opinion , it is extremely important for the outermost regions are integrated into the trans-european transport networks , energy and telecommunications . 
the unanimous approval of the members of the committee on regional policy in the report presented by our colleague mrs sudre margie represents the accuracy of the european parliament to one of the most important commitments . 
we cannot discuss all kinds of circumstances and believe that we reached that point apt and idyllic -denominémoslo -it is no longer be necessary to take further action in dealing with these three areas , especially in the outermost regions as to whom we are debating today . 
this article ladies and gentlemen prevents us to do everything , but it will allow us to increase , and i think it is necessary , extend and improve our action . 
for the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , we collaborate self-evidently by member states and regions in question . 
we know that in the areas bottlenecks persistent and i thus think objectively , depending on their real level of development , which will need for a long time in aid of regional policy and of individual measures . 
a meeting of this kind could be organised again during the year 2001 , when we made most progress in implementing the programme presented in march . 
the presidency postulated settled the matter and i accept it in full . 
i believe that parliament is right to stay within the existing regulations , because , as another member said , there is often a case of miscarriages of equipment for vote , but that members fails to vote , and if possible correcting one vote to be a problem of never stop . 
certainly , i would like that . 
in short , commissioner , as well as the authority , it is necessary for the commission services responsible , in cooperation and coordination with the member states , introduce a system of controls homogenous and effective in the whole food chain and that the network of laboratories food in the european union is enhanced and to work in a coordinated fashion with the commission . 
in order to prevent them scientific research repetition is called for cooperation with national research centres and community . 
today we are talking about a white paper , and we should define certain basic principles . 
they have already been reviewed and altered and we have had our own " food standards agency ' . 
finally , we will also support some of the new amendments , of course , amendments nos 11 and 13 until 7 to 9 , and we want a free vote on amendment no 14 . 
in the light of the differentials first i should like to stress that there can be guaranteed food safety depends on the solidity of inspections carried out by the authorities , and let us not forget that the level of soundness of them is determined by the weakest link . 
we are dealing with an issue on which we underline the superficial and the vacuidad 's debate that applied to the european political union . 
let us hope , therefore , the european food safety authority only experience scientist , in conjunction with our national agencies . 
get the trail of preview of the major diseases from the food affecting europe today , most of them delivered its first appearance in the americas . 
however , we must determine the conditions for convening a authority in this way we will ensure a rapid and efficient action . 
we must also point out , as has been some of the previous speakers , in particular mr whitehead , mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is much more than any new labour law of the union . 
mr president , today , i am happy , and i thank the commission , which has begun work to improve food safety , mr bowis and the whole of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . 
i think that amendment no 17 is particularly interesting . it states that have to consultation with consumer organisations . 
another aspect is the revision of the organic labelling rules both for sale to the wholesale and retail which , in terms of traceability of products and their components , offering proper information for consumers and permitting refine possible responsibility where high-risk or of crisis . 
in my opinion , the adoption of new legislation does not provide an adequate response to failure to comply with existing legislation . 
thanks to the vote on the environment committee get restore some balance including within the remit of the problems associated with the nutrition and some important references to the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the protection of the various eating habits . 
mr president , i would like to add my voice to those of other colleagues who have congratulated the rapporteur , mr bowis , for having handled this particular problem for the constructive way and logic . 
mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety in itself is minor non-legislative not impair the dual value which you will have . 
the rapporteur , but also many members from the commission , including myself , have put the emphasis on food safety authority and , indeed , this is a pity to some extent . 
the integrity and independence of this agency will safeguard with better guarantees the security of european consumers . 
all along i thought on many occasions that we have been fortunate in selecting the rapporteur 's report . 
mr president , i too should like to congratulate my colleague mr bowis for the remarkable efforts to include all the opinions in his report , mainly for agreeing to consider general concept of food . 
after all , mr president , politicians cannot evade its responsibility . 
most importantly of all , they must win respect of their pares , the public confidence and the will of the governments of member states to accept its findings . 
that is how i see a food authority for the future . 
we have the world health organisation in geneva . 
i am not hiding it when we issued a white paper i talked about this authority . 
so we must ensure that the european union to have the highest possible standards of food safety , even though this approach - unanimously cherished - must also consider the consequences that entails , from an economic point of view , a need productive . 
the tasks are these : independent scientific research , counselling , controls and inspections non-attached , rapid alert system and also coordination in order to restore public confidence . 
as acotación aside , i can say to the speakers who have spoken about the need for flexibility in relation to the production of specialities culinary local and of typical products , that this issue is already covered in the legislation on the hygiene . 
this will facilitate the task of the committee on the presentation of a balanced proposal which takes account of the greatest possible number of parliament 's views and of the many people interested in the area of food safety . 
rather , in the past , this issue was one of the strong driving forces which , in political terms , presupposes the signing of the ottawa convention . 
clear progress stand against amendments nos 10 and 12 , which consistent budgetary and as for amendment no 29 , play a split vote separately on closer formulation of the whole text which i think has undergone some devoid of meaning . 
this is where the first point : the need for the european union , in particular , the commission makes every effort to countries do not signatory to come to sign the ottawa convention . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what the consequences are apms though in individual cases often there are major justifications militarily . 
it was parliament that proposed for the first time in 1996 , the creation of a budget line horizontal and an appropriate legal basis to be granted a unique platform for the wide range of measures that we take on this important area . 
although i cannot conceal the fact that , of course , the powers of persuasion of the union aiming to achieve this are limited to some extent by the difficulties that prevail in some member states to sign and ratify the convention . 
the effectiveness of mine action will be greater if it is drawn up in accordance with the specific conditions in each case . 
as parliament knows , there are already numerous and , as parliament knows , with our proposals on reform of the community assistance to third countries we hope to desisting from the cumbersome checkpoint to individual project and focus , but in our negotiations with the member states on strategies and programmes all-encompassing . 
ngos have been spreading in response to the need yet when it is nearly four years since the first un conference on landmines held in geneva and over a year since the introduction of the ottawa convention , we have to recognise that many member states and thousands of people , mostly in the world 's poorest regions , are still feeling the terrible consequences of antipersonnel landmines and munitions without detonar . 
the commission should improve the quality of their programmes as well as the speed with which the enforced . 
however , i think that if you come back to give this matter serious thought we would see that some of them - at least in my opinion - have to do with the awareness-raising campaigns in transparency , with access to the ngos , with factors which work well at the moment , but should operate more effectively . 
we also have reason to see parliament and council must retain its power away from the government and i listened very carefully to the remarks of mr patten on this point , because it appears believes that we must maintain our hands still further . 
mr president , our group has been active for some time in the whole range of demands and actions required , since the disruption of production , depletion of stocks , cessation of marketing , cleanliness of minefields , rehabilitation of victims , and awareness . 
shouldered next countries to support the process in international forums . 
mines are of course a major obstacle for reconstruction in these countries and for the return of refugees . 
at the rate of disposal we will take as was mentioned earlier - rather more than 100 years in cleaning up the planet 's anti-personnel mines . 
a third area i see it in concrete measures that we should propose , examined and applied . 
all children to be able salvage from death by mines or of horrendous injuries in bosnia , africa or anywhere else commands the efforts of all of us . 
we must indeed put pressure on the european union countries which do not have signed it , such as finland , or that they have not been ratified , such as greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , we look at finland ! 
finally , we hope that in the context of the future tasks of the common military force european proceed to the formation of technicians , especially for people who are interested in phasing out of the land-mines at local level . 
nor do we stresses that the list of countries most seriously diseased comprises mainly countries of the developing world . 
parliament 's proposals could not be more guilty of inconsistency in the lisbon objectives . 
mrs van lancker wants that parliament decides on the amendment to the commission proposal , mainly by adding a number of areas in which it is appropriate to legislate and laying down certain rights at european level . 
for example , we would like to extend the luxembourg process , which applies to employment policy , and also to consumer protection and to social exclusion . 
the powers greatest , such as germany , france , england and , to some extent , italy , they have agreed to draw your domination of the small countries of eastern europe and southern applying for membership of the european union . 
however , for legal reasons , we consider it wrong to make it already a reference to it in the rule . k.6 of the eu treaty because in the convention - according to their estructura- cannot be agreeing formally so that there is no legal basis . 
the inclusion of the new text in the treaties could lead to legal confusion . 
furthermore , the rapporteur echoes of the new theory fashionable in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union : that of citizens , represented by the european parliament , and that of the states , represented by the council . 
we swedish social democrats and democrats have today voted against the report presented by oliver duhamel on a constitutionalising the treaties . 
consequently , it is essential to bring the european union to have a constitution which includes the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution would only be meaningful if set up within the framework of democratic genuine european federation , from the united states of europe . 
told us having believed estimation , according to a large part of the politicians , we preferíamos that our international relations are rigieran on an international treaty . 
i welcome the report by mr duhamel because it makes a valuable contribution and constructively to the idea of the constitutionalising the treaties . 
we believe that a reform of the treaties and their simplification would allow the citizens unclear as a matter for the eu - and its limits - and the procedures to exercise these powers . 
until the amsterdam treaty , in 1997 , europe was a supersindicato intergovernmental . 
the edd group is voting against the report presented by josé maría gil-robles gil-delgado on enhanced cooperation . 
this report makes clear , in fact , the concept of a union very monolithic , where all the partnerships should be expressed in the ' single institutional framework " , of which all should be targeted towards the objective of the super-state . 
we should therefore avoid reducing the march of this package and , consequently , authorising certain member states to move forward , developing the mechanism of closer cooperation . 
structures for the which govern the operation of the internal market have been a success for the early 1990s . 
. ( nl ) the european cooperation can be useful to cross-border problems . 
these areas could build a formidable laboratory for sustainable development . 
the technocrats , european judges , they have tried to remove that " the rate of docks ' , which seeks to resources to our municipalities in the french overseas departments and , above all , protects our craftsmen . 
france , for their own part , has overseas departments in the indian ocean and the caribbean . 
its independence will be an essential element for the credibility of this body . 
this vote has been clarified , therefore , the role of the composition of the future european authority , but also described our demands on their funding and independence . 
secondly , the european agency should be completely independent . 
we must take account of the type of farming methods and agri-industrial , the problem of imports of goods food , the composition of the ingredients in animal feed , maximum levels for dioxins and residues of pesticides , food additives and others , by giving priority to food safety . 
we voted in favour of amendment no 15 as we argue strenuously protecting europe 's cultural heritage linked to the local food production . 
i would like to make two requests . hors all my colleagues in the agriculture committee who have presented approximately 30 amendments . 
we also want to earmark a 50 % of appropriations in the budget line and a further 50 % in reserve . 
let me say here that there are proposals to reduce the budget . 
report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets , on the draft general budget of the european union for the year 2001 - section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) 
madam president , my name appears as signatory to some amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the real aback by this budget is concerned with external actions which dominates egocentricity and meanness . 
it is also possible releasing money through the use of the trappings of flexibility . 
. ( el ) i voted against the haug report , just as i have voted in favour of my group 's motion to reject the budget for 2001 . 
we are thinking in particular to the new pilot project to be funded effects of information to combat paedophilia . 
this shows fehacientemente how little explanation that arouse the european union project , even in the public politically active . 
in this way , as 20 to 30 % of the market will provide for us to competition privately . 
given that this is safeguarded through this report , i voted against it . 
with the unacceptably low thresholds nation , which diezman subsidies - in conjunction with the proposed cuts in the upper limit of withdrawals by 5 % in the citrus fruit , when 8.5 % for apples and pears , and to 10 % for the rest of fruit and hortalizas- , makes it clear that , for vast amounts of fruit and vegetables provides , that we pudrirán on fields and in repairers for cooperatives , there is no chance of market-place , resulting in a general reduction in prices . doing so farmers will be desperately need to grubbing-up of their production . 
i voted in favour of this report , because it is up to the hopes of organisations portuguese wither hortofrutícula , who have committed ourselves to change drastic of the com in fruit and vegetable products to treat it profoundly lesiva for national interests . 
report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
the core of the problem lies at the expense of all , even in the quality of environmental and climate , on the altar of capitalist exploitation of productive resources and the raising of most benefit . 
in kyoto , it was agreed that the richer countries to deal with their clean air , but we can get to a limited extent in their own scoreboard broadcasts produced in other parties who have helped to reduce . 
. ( fr ) the fight against global warming is one element of vital importance to the industrialised countries , and especially an obligation to the people third-world which already pay with their lives for consequences of climate change . 
the art of life is to live together in wisely with the risks and uncertainties . 
they will likewise be guaranteed and redoblarse efforts to establish correct of substances suspected of being endocrine disrupters - a. e . 
consumers and smes are not enough in the internal market , which was included in the euro . 
after all , the banks are forced to date by the member states to report to its central bank crossborder payments which exceed eur 12 500 , aimed at the statistics relating to the balance of payments . 
of course , is required of these enterprises them stringent prudential standards in the area and with money laundering . 
we know even here , commissions for cross-border transfers have grown since the euro , and not just in a denomination . 
the european central bank could be helped by implementing a format data unified european in payment transactions , as well as the use of a identification code banking unit at european level within the international system iban . 
it is crucial for the consumer acceptance of the euro . 
madam president , the report by mrs peijs , concerning retail payments in the internal market , it repeats the former vindication of the european parliament on the high costs of cross-border transfers within the union . 
the peijs report is so recital d of the draft resolution . lo quoting , ' lofty expenses related to cross-border transfers are harmful to consumer confidence in the euro . ' 
so we have a great deal to do so in this area , but resources and means available to us as politicians in this regard are far less than the existing in connection with this issue of payments in the internal market . 
the market of the euro will in future an internal market , and they do not understand that in this area in which vanish risks of change and the potential of electronic payment from the bank of the internet is in everyday life , a transfer from munich to salzburg becomes much more than a transfer from munich to kiel . 
achieving this objective we will go back many years of work for us and for you . 
at that time , we are going to deal with easing the deadline for making cross-border transfers , issue on which we have insisted on the report by mrs peijs . 
the debate is closed . 
but it seems to be a good policy on preferring a pragmatic approach and to proximity which place the small business at the heart of this mechanism , more than a proposal which , as a pretext for preventing small steps desultory , it would serve only to create statistics whose use examples would be perfectly possible . 
however , i have three comments on this programme . 
let us remember that the first programme of community action in this area was launched in 1983 , i.e. seventeen years . 
we would have always supported this must be supported by a policy sensible and pragmatic . 
we seem to be true extent of economic and innovation , are at forefront and are exposed to risks that this has . 
at the end we must take account of the results of the work of the symposium ' science and government " which took place last week in brussels under the aegis of the centre of technology foresight in seville , as well as monitoring of the symposium , because there are many interference with the subject we are discussing today . 
the rapporteur mentions a number of priorities in order to strengthen the european business climate . 
it is extremely important for europe , because it can make a rapid assistance , adequate and technically correct . 
mr president , i would also like to echo the thanks to mrs maij-weggen . montfort on his excellent work . 
it is important to strike the right balance , to avoid a situation unbroken of people who fail at the expense of others . 
this is not fair and , therefore , support this report . 
this is just as the guiding principle of the charter for small businesses . 
the programme will ensure that networks provide this information . 
clearly overriding aim of the plan is to reduce emigration towards countries of the european union and repatriation of the people are smuggled into the european union . 
i stress in particular , the need to take steps to improve internal security , the strengthening of dialogue between the european and local authorities albanian , and , in relation to the commission and the council , at the instigation of specific actions in cooperation with the albanian authorities , italy and greece . 
this poor social conditions , economic and political combined with inadequate or with the inadequate legal certainty and organised crime lead with movements masses . 
mr president , unlike mrs pack , i believe that the more panels themselves with albania end-all . 
clearly there is not possible to find an immediate solution to all of this problem , but in a period not very long , we need to create a world reasonably fair , safe and with prospects . 
there is also chasm between donors , we all , europe and america and we give money , we make plans and similar issues , and the people themselves who is on the ground . 
we therefore bilateral agreements which so clear and legally established business , time and place of residence , wages , working hours , working conditions and social security , so that immigrants are able to present itself as a force for the sake of the economies of our countries and contributing to the partnership and cooperation between peoples and not to grow and nationalist aspirations of the era of the cold war . 
we repatría people who have been integrated smoothly . 
the focus must not lie with the methods of halt the flow of migrants and refugees , but how to improve the living conditions of havelland so people can remain in their home . 
mr president , i too believe that , as you said mr dimitrakopoulos , with regard to the difficulties in albania - economic , social and security services - is still essential with regard to support this country to restore the rule of law , to give security to the public and to restore the authority of the institutions and local administrations . 
i share the view of the member liese on which we need a burden-sharing as far as political refugee and asylum . 
the action plan on albania and the neighbouring region was adopted in june this year , and it is therefore the 6th of the optional . 
in ratos is imposed frustration , but also the shocked at the european law , and we wish to call on parliament , but also of the other european institutions , so as not shy away from the efforts of the thorough work , to work with accuracy and made available for it some time and the staff required . 
with this report , we must send to our citizens the message that we take seriously the complaints about the poor quality of legislation and on the suprarregionalización and centralization . 
this is in itself a matter of some very important , of course , even if they do not say that to be decided by the poor attendance to discuss more detail on this issue . 
another issue over vital is that the report raises the question of subsidiarity , which in some ways it is polemics this evening in this chamber . 
it would also be interesting if you could be looked at the present situation of legislation , in the light of this principle , to make it simpler , clearer and more efficient and more germane , basin by freeing itself from the texts superfluous . that is urges that paragraph 6 of this report . 
having studied this report very carefully , i have reached the conclusion that it is not even a political principle : that is the principle theological . 
in other words , we must ensure recognition of the principle of subsidiarity also to communities smaller , to the customs autonomous , to the cruxes intervening , to the cruxes social , and their families and the citizens who are the only real sovereign action by the legislative and administrative . 
i therefore give an overview of synthesis . 
i now give the floor to commissioner . 
is this an area where we should intervene and produce a detailed legislation which ensures that we implantará everywhere , or can be considered as an alternative a voluntary agreement is adhered to and can be controlled ? 
. ( de ) i voted for the report , although i did not get the adoption of a number of amendments , because it deals with issues relating to the high cost of change and of transfers in the eurozone 
when in fifteen months we have , indeed , the same coins and notes in eleven member states , it will be more expensive pushing this money evenly outside the country in which they live . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i must start by regretting that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , cannot be here today . 
it must be an agreement advancing cooperation in fisheries and the moroccan fisheries sector , but we also fully meets the fishing interests of the european fleets . 
so we have reached agreement to work predicated on cooperation originator , thereafter morocco will express its views at a meeting which , as you say , will be held in brussels on 30 october , in other words , on monday . 
a few weeks ago , i was myself in algeciras , in the south coast spaniard . there has been overtaken by morocco . 
the time , for the future , we enseñó that as well as difficult would become impossible . 
by means of the fisheries agreements , the union can exert fishing activities and exchange fishing rights to third countries . 
i read in a magazine swedish specialises in fisheries that one of these ships desembarca being loaded with the aaiún , which is described as a port moroccan . 
it is at stake . are teetering all our fisheries agreements , not only with morocco because they are also mauritania and soon guinea , among others . 
eleven months has been slow in coming into the turning point on which we , the meeting of the day 30- and in this regard , we also know estimating the latest decisions of commissioner fischler , the results of this journey last day 26 to morocco and the interviews high-level maintained , even with the rules king . 
but i would like to convey to the commission , represented here today worthily by commissioner busquin , messages very brief . 
i should like to ask the commissioner is : if you do not get an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement comes under the terms identified by the commission , an agreement which will stimulate production moroccan , does the commission intend to take structural measures to compensate for the delay which will happen in the regions affected ? 
as imaginábamos , difficulties in negotiations with the moroccan authorities have been extremely large . 
finally , the undesirable if we fail negotiations , the union has the political and moral duty to support the fishermen and on owners with support satisfaction that i insured means of survival . 
we must shutting the over-capacity of the eu fishing industry . 
that is why we need as quickly as possible tighten economic and political relations with marruecossin affront to the imposition of our european interests on fisheries . 
that is why the commission is working on the basis of the new cooperation aimed at a development which is of interest to both parties and permitting , firstly , the integrated development of the moroccan fisheries sector , the fleet , aquaculture , transforming the commercial and research . secondly , allocation of fishing opportunities for european fishermen .

" not only in germany there is a clear distinction between the two formulations . 
in july 1999 , the commission held this infringement proceedings before the court of justice . 
so unless we succeed harmonize systems - something which we hope - at the moment , respecting the principle of subsidiarity must not allow it to go through the discrimination that , in all likelihood , has called for a privilege . 
maybe we can accept that the outgoing commission under the leadership of mr santer were not the best , which is the reason why it disbanded . 
members of the committee on juridicos and the internal market across the union and all the parties were united in saying that there is no point in talking about rights , support letters of rights , whether in real examples where he refuses allowances for some people have no real action is taken to be recognised and applied , and that is the problem here . 
that is totally unacceptable in a modern europe . 
of course , the area of education falls within subsidiarity but within the framework of contracts , freedom of movement for workers and the ban on discrimination concern us all , even though we are in favour - and i especially , because i come from a federal state - the principle of subsidiarity as a principle computer cooperation within the european union and to which the distribution of competences between the different levels of europe to be organised under the princio of subsidiarity as quickly as possible . 
in this context , because there is no question of discrimination . 
mr president , do you will be dealt with by an expert on the terms surgical in italian , english , french , german or to a surgeon ? 
( the sitting was closed at 12 noon . 10.56 ) 
we want to give you our deep sympathy . 
i give the floor to mr ceyhun , who will speak as rapporteur , on behalf of the socialist group . 
with regard to the statements by the council and commission on the third asia-europe meeting , the council has informed us that it wishes to speak at the moment . 
it is therefore a matter which , according to the treaties and in view of the euratom treaty , is the responsibility of the commission ; it affects , or can influence , in many people who are not only spaniards because in that region and in their area , without any contingency plan , hundreds of thousands of europeans from all 15 member states of the union , other than many people who live outside , because it is the coast of day . 
madam president , this is unfortunate , but striking discover via the minister for internal spanish , mr mayor oreja , that there is no chance of dialogue with basque nationalists , even if in future there were a new truce . 
i should like to take account of this week a affirmation of the committee on the british government 's decision to introduce a tribute to discriminatory nature to hauliers from nationality does not british . 
as matches so-called liberals , even europeans , tend more and more to aliarse with forces of inspiration xenophobia , racism , autocratic , i think this is a serious threat not only for italia . it is also a sign that affects the whole of europe . 
however , the report contains too critical remarks about the french proposal . 
these demands are incorporated in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the report by mrs karamanou . 
the initiative of the french presidency that we are discussing today is aimed at improving both conventions generals of mutual assistance in criminal matters - i have just mentioned , particularly in the area of combating money laundering . 
i also say that if the idea of the fight against money laundering is casualty , it will be of the council rather than parliament . 
we can only congratulate them on their work . 
marinho - and i agree too - the way it is communitising . 
all those involved are agreed that this is an initiative invaluable and we support his comments . 
we need to be given to europol operational capacity to act in operate across borders . 
such events are too many commonplace in our modern europe . accordingly , prior to lend my support to a guillotine furor of checks bridged of judgements , i should like to see a recognition set of standards outdated . 
i understand that it is difficult because here we have to build on the basis of a dispersal of instruments . 
but this is also a need in order to strengthen the economic area of the european union , and it is also a matter of concern to the citizens , whom we have to go , because the union 's citizens are entitled to safety . 
in the european union , we must continue to carrying out an investigation fiercely fought against money laundering , knowing that , especially since the introduction of the single market and the liberalization of capital markets and financial services , this calls for police and judicial cooperation effective between member states , as efficient as possible . 
as consultant finances , nothing entitles suppose that lawyers , as such , it is practising their profession . 
similarly , i should like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the matter raised by a number of members of the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal profession could serve as a rejection informed of cooperation in the field of justice in the fight against money laundering . 
that is , however , particularly in the event of serious crimes , crimes of the skill in seriousness and with cross-border issues . 
overall , the task is so great and so important that there can be done only by the council . 
therefore need to reinforce the rights of citizens adopting an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , especially in terms of its right of interpretation and its power to decide whether or not . 
so while at the same time , i would like supporting greater cooperation and coordination , we see this as a legal system would be wrong , and we will oppose it . 
the second point is also very interesting . 
this is something positive and it is heartening to see that it has both support in this parliament . 
i shall take this oportunidad- as several members raised issues very sensitive to tell you quite frankly , as has already stressed the carlos coelho , that this initiative is first and foremost , be a first step which shows the determination of the council of overcome delays in the area of judicial cooperation , on police cooperation . 
this is why i regard this as well as an important instrument for guaranteeing the judicial control of europol . 
the programme fair on the research in the area of fisheries , agriculture and the agro-industria was part of the fourth framework programme on research and widened from 1994 to 1998 . 
in view of the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that we have experienced certain problems which concern the organisation of the programme . 
the court of auditors ' report on the agenda fair , in which forms the basis of this report by the rapporteur , he was published in march of this year , however charters of sector were sent to the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . 
on behalf of the committee on fisheries , i would like to highlight several points . 
you emphasised , and i thank you , the mind within which we drew up this report , because the dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission services and the interest you have promised . 
this proves that the commission does not stayed dormant and which led to effect the comments which you have raised . 
i now come to the question by mrs pack . 
thank you , commissioner . 
this prize will be handed over the federation ' enough is enough ' at the meeting of december next . 
i i believe deeply of it will also be paves the constitutive process which this house has demanded many times and so insistence , although some heads of state and government should refuse to accept that . 
i am particularly happy to be here before you for an in-depth discussion of a wonderful plan and of the charter of fundamental rights of the european union , until you take the final position on this text . 
personally , i have no doubt that this time will be presented . 
it is true , however , they were able to reach some criticisms regarding the content of the charter . 
i believe that this is an important position and i very much welcome . 
as far as parliament has been a great success done - and we stand together groups in this area , which is a result positivo- for the european parliament was represented by 16 members in the convention on fundamental rights . 
the letter that has arisen today is in my view , the greatest challenge and can become a card for the submission of europe , as pointed out a major european daily in a office-holder on 26 september 2000 . 
therefore , my group continues to believe that it is vital to include a reference to the letter in paragraph 2 of article 6 of the treaty . 
they were many who felt that europe needs to thwart the opportunity to get out of the single free-trade area and the treadmill freedom to lay the foundations for a europe of citizens . 
in the european summit in nice in december , civil society has decided mobilise itself to make its voice heard and proclaiming its desire for a charter which offers genuine guarantees for citizens of europe . 
that is why , as well as signatures , is important to establish political needs efficient , complied with every day , every day - by all member states and by all political forces . 
then lloremos or take prong of consider ourselves fortunate , we are holding this great event which is nothing but a great day vacuo . 
the convention has done excellent work . 
they are also people 's rights and citizens ' rights , but also the social rights . 
the right to good administration , to referred and mrs malmström , is one of the breakthroughs in question . 
yet i am sure , as i have not heard about this , as to what extent will open the lebreles of mr blair to speak in public in favour of this successful project . 
last time , you have talked about mug half empty either half full . 
but the council of cologne , assisted by the european parliament , which has played in wonderment its role as sembrador of confusion , finished for us to forget to everyone that this is a matter for national parliaments and that they are being underused , since they evacuees steadily . 
a surplus of protection in terms of fundamental rights is just as bad as a deficit . 
when you listens to the comments made by some members , we feel that this information is more necessary than ever . 
the main question that now divides us is what is the sense that charter . 
so once again we are dismayed and dissatisfied . earlier , we will vote in favour of the charter , but with the spirit of the fact that this will not achieve mobilize that enthusiasm and its role in the european union , which is so necessary for europe and , as usual , it will governments - and many g
