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 . rights of teachers in languages " 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 governments rather than others - to contend with the historic responsibility for this . according to the co-rapporteur , mr duff , this is an important step towards improving the quality of european integration . for those who need it , i would like to read the comments on the convention 49 and the squared law of the two courts associated with the charter . mr president , i have long been of those who have lost . for the first time since the creation of the european union , this is the basis of a constitution , a constitution for the supranational structure which builds the union . exposing it is in favour of a social and democratic europe , in favour of a europe of citizens . the draft charter could serve , at the moment , as a piece of interesting discussion on the future of cooperation between the european communities for the parties , unions , environmental organisations , churches and many others groupings of member states and candidate countries of the union . i would like to highlight three points which my colleagues have already mentioned here several times over this morning . the letter that today we are going to adopt both reinforces as it conspicuous basic rights , common values on which will be based our community . i am , of course , to her and to those who wish to included in article 6 a reference to the letter and the integration later in the treaties . we have seen the case of bernard connolly whose paper critical about the commission was withdrawn by conditioned by the court of first instance . this synthesis is important at a time when the union must establish the legal status , in terms of rights and obligations , of the íatural in third countries who are legally in the european union . for my part , i am convinced like him to which i will have effects uniquely prompt and of which , moreover , it will soon be binding . during this debate , i have heard formulae hard-hitting : the charter will be an example to the dog -siendo the dog the european parliament - or the taparrabo of the surrender of a french presidency moribunda , mainly in the form of bring the igc . this is the point that has led to the european parliament to propose the establishment of a forum euroturco , assembling to serious thought to the representatives well-trained of the turkish community and to the european parliament who have had a mandate . it was a great temptation to provide a level of type seudodemocrático to the granting of loans to turkey , but , as regards this report , there were no technical means to do so . having made this , i know of course that the candidacy of turkey remains in some questions . the wish of the presidency is that this will be adopted rapidly , if possible indeed on 20 november , for the next council of general affairs and , as already indicated , very specific respecting the decisions taken at helsinki . however , still holds what clearly witnessing the committee 's report on progress on the road to accession . turkey , like all the other candidate countries , must fulfil the copenhagen criteria in the process of rapprochement . the president sezar expressed very clearly in his speech to the turkish parliament last month why also in terms of turkey. there is no alternative but to follow this path of reform , and i fully endorse what president scapegoat . thank you for your attention . here too we have put noises slightly positive . we will oppose the attempts , some of them rather espúreos , of derail the balance that the report successful with success , particularly the amendments aimed at making the european parliament a court in the past . that is obvious clear , as is evident that turkey will have , along with any civilised society , to be done by the idea of contemplate it legacy , however horrified that this has been . turkey 's accession on this basis , and not only against strategic considerations of the united states or of nato enriquecería to the european union and would constitute a significant step towards a united europe . do we no longer believes that only a fraction of turkey 's territory is part of the european continent ? we will vote for both against this report , as we have voted against all the reports aimed at helping turkey to the european union . the harm rests primarily with which we awakened in turkey the prospect of a accession which , however , we cannot keep due to the political situation . report ( a5-0310 / 2000 ) by mrs langenhagen , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , on the special report no 9 / 99 by the court of auditors on research activities in the area of agriculture and fisheries : programme fair ( ' fisheries , agriculture & agro-industrial research ' ) , accompanied by the commission 's answers ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ] i welcome this report and i shall vote in favour of it . instead of increasing the human rights and social rights , ease operations aimed at downgrade its level . there is no doubt that your end-use is to be the preamble to a future european constitution which in turn , will be the crowning glory of progress in the european union in the federalización where , as on so legislada , will take the decisions the less powerful and all the applied . the main aim is to serve the interests of big business monopolies of the european union , at the expense of workers ' interests and generally to the people . typical features in article 2-2 , " no one can be sentenced to death , or discharged " . nowhere is it says , despite our demands , that the family consists of a man and a woman who educan to about children and that is the nuclear gist of society . given that no one has chosen to judges , that means a reduction in the democratic government . . certainly would have preferred that were directly involved in our treaties . however , i abstained in the final vote , because i believe that certain social rights are defined in a way that the rights franco less money . the initial idea of a convention was to have a text consensual , to enable the fifteen governments turning it into non-committal through its incorporation into the treaty . in fact , the fight against social exclusion is thing of the rank of attendance , instead of trying lack of basic rights constrictive on employers and for the states . personally i am convinced that secularism is valuable emancipador and topical . also there is a shortage of social concern relating to ownership . obviously , this document is not the right to become binding , as it is not a legislative text . members of the irish government recently created questions about whether brussels threatens the irish identity and mr ahern , while also expressed the attachment of ireland to the eu as central to prosperity and economic success , we standing up decidedly against any move rapidly towards a europe more federal -centralizada- , because rebasaría largely what the majority of europeans want - or are you prepared to aceptar- today . adivinen which of these were imposed . i note in passing that during this parliamentary term , a total of seven reports are caused by national initiatives , which shows that this system , where there is , is basically very productive . these measures voluntarist are absolutely indispensable to combat this phenomenon , which has not stopped to develop and internacionalizarse . through this initiative , the french presidency is proposing the adoption of a framework decision on the approximation of legislation and punishment money-laundering ( for example , comb , freezing and confiscate the funds ) . all member states must define the money laundering as a criminal offence atoned at least with a sentence of four years ' imprisonment . as money laundering acquires vast scale across the world , it is clear that europol should have powers to combat it with a view to devise a european strategy in the field of police and judicial cooperation . i welcome the report by mrs roure about another initiative by the french presidency : this time designed to enhance cooperation in the field legally to ensure that it is obstruct in order to prevent the extradition of criminals jailed for money-laundering and other offences which involve the use of funds unlawful . madam president , this is the only report that i did not support . it would be the first member geographically linked with asia , with a great tradition nineteen-year-old muslim . that applies especially at this stage at which increasingly more or less money eib but not cover all risks economic we make . in this context i would like to single out the basic conclusion in article 22 , which states that turkey does not fulfil the copenhagen political criteria and i note the amount of condemnations of its actions and its omissions in the field of human rights , for democratic freedoms and behaviour international , and the recommendations concerning the european parliament for this country to have enter into european values properly . mr president , we worries that as it is heard in recent days mathematically vim in this direction by the press and the turkish people , but rather attempts to eyelid . nicosia nowadays , eleven years after the fall of the berlin wall , the only european capital divided . morillon- that this has not yet fulfill at a sufficient degree and that turkey must continue to perseverando in their efforts . mr president , mr president-in-office , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i wish to speak in this debate in my capacity as rapporteur for the accession of cyprus . mr president , we cannot vote in favour of the morillon report because we feel sure that contrary to what you say , and many people in turkey would expect , the accession process will not improve the lives of our peoples . but at the same time , i think we should not pintarse things too slick . so there is no getting away in-house between them . euro-mediterranean conference in marseille . mr brok , who joined us , we were asking for the delays incurred by negotiation . we europeans , our experience that grasped . in fact , it is not only , as in 1995 , to restore a balance in eastern europe , but also for preparing the forthcoming enlargement of the union . xenophobia , state terrorism or other forms of terrorism also form part of this bonnet . i hope that we are able to resolve the situation here . this is a fact that confront us . but here we are frank again . all this means recognising the improper for the results achieved so far , despite the fact that the answers , in my opinion , are still not match up to the situation , if you can say that five-year few to processes extremely complex . that is why i believe that today 's debate can be used to take stock of the importance of this policy throughout the union . we are not all these needs compete with one another but of our finding new money . the meshing of violence in the middle east , the war unleashed by violence and determination on the palestinian population , which israel continues to refuse to entitled to be a state , threaten the future of the entire region . mr president , as well as in nice the european union has to strike a balance between deepening and widening , in marseille should achieve a balanced relationship between the functions european and mediterranean its responsibility . however , in balance sheets which we prodigan the days of five years in barcelona process makes the idea that we are delighted by the simple continuation of the process , by the fact that there has been ministerial meetings with turnout of members from israel , of the palestinian authority , as syria , lebanon , etc. and is it a consolation . there are many common problems which currently affecting the euro-mediterranean region : illegal immigration , poverty , the external debt , human rights , drought and terrorism , which crushes mercilessly human life and family innocent , as tragically sees us in spain in algeria and in the near east . we are prepared to creerles , but southern countries need more than promises and speeches : it is up atenderlos . europe has made no policy on desertion or water benefactora in the mediterranean countries and we must give thought to make an environmental policy mediterranean , which understands the activities , the logical and even climatic diversity of the mediterranean . the current proposals are far more balanced . now , the agency in kosovo . we must not disappoint their hopes and more than ever before all these countries need our help . in conclusion , i can tell you - i repeat that what the commission that these two proposals are the cornerstones of a process which must enable people to those countries which have been and are so many problems can be fully integrated into european structures . we now need to focus responsibilisation of a few people or in a ceo , if you like , so that a person assumes the real responsibility vis-à-vis the body that selected the specific programmes . i should also like to thank you , therefore , to all those colleagues who have taken dearest their efforts and i am pleased that in future we can provide added value to them at the same time i insofar as the content . i read in some reports concerning the election bosnias that the ultranacionalistas had won the parliamentary elections in bosnia and herzegovina . the european union - and as you know - participated with determination to contribute to these historic changes . the debate on the reports westendorp and lagendijk on proposals for regulations , one on the framework programme , and the second concerns the european agency for reconstruction gives us the opportunity to discuss on the level of support for the union wants to give the western balkans in order to assist the process of stabilisation and association . the social long-overdue of democracy in croatia , and then in the federal republic of yugoslavia , imposes , we know , the european union go much further . question time ( council ) as they deal with similar subjects questions nos 2 and no. 3 will be taken together . just now attach to the parties an additional period of four months - reappraising 1324- to try to make progress on both these fronts . let me ask what the situation is the association agreement with morocco . . ( fr ) the stability and development caucasian represents one of the strategic priorities of the union . with regard to the discussions with turkey , out of a major debate on this subject , you know exactly the positions of the european union in this respect . i just wanted that minister going to insist that this proposed legislation is directed against those who exploits and benefit from people who are in desperate circumstances and does not seek to criminalizing the immigrant or the immigrant workforce . not only does require laws , but also for measures to encourage the debate and raising public awareness . i believe that , in effect , we must fight against these crimes by all means , damn all means , and see that both the council of the union and the general assembly of the united nations and , in my view , the turkish government , are prepared to do so . in any case , we have taken measures precisely because the other 14 member states the desaprobaban . i take one example : if the tomorrow in france - and here i am speaking as a ministro- came to power a party right-wing extremist , i would like to be taken against my country measures relating to be taken against austrian . personally , i want to talk about values - i spoke of values as laid down in our speeches , i spoke of values as other speakers have pointed out in the charter of fundamental rights and talked especially , it is true of the fight against all forms of discrimination , which is enshrined in the introduction of the european texts . that is what we must ensure respect . may i remind you that this political dialogue is , in hand with the forthcoming accession partnership , one of the elements of the pre-accession strategy for turkey defined at this time . question no 12 by ( h-0850 / 00 ) : we are working on this , and this is undoubtedly the path that we continue . in this respect , we must recognize that the moroccan side has not responded to the supply community-oriented . it is about people in scotland where , after 110 days of detention , individuals accused of being a crime should be judged or release and we can never again acusarla of this crime . do we have taken specific measures ( for example , security of supply , energy-efficient ) if the economies of the member states are consumers less than crises external ? what are the means and the council 's priorities short- and medium-term on energy efficiency and energy saving measures ? the union 's position on the extraterritorial measures decretadas by the united states has not changed . finally , i remembered that the european union noted with concern of the points made in the field of agencies and united nations programmes and therefore deploraba negative consequences and often traumatic experiences from the economic embargo on the cuban people . do not understand the council to the problem is a highly political and we cannot keep up the same gulfs confronted with the victims and the priest ? firstly , the office closes the decision by the committee on decentralised , while also may submit results exceptional in the work it does . they do not respect borders , and we must combat the illegal activities crossborder , be of drug trafficking , cooperation criminal or trafficking in human beings . and it would be acceptable for the commissioner patten , who has a great deal of expertise - not to call it wisdom ( in the management of international crises , out of the headquarters of this office coupled with visits he has done in various regions in the balkans , which would thessaloniki to see how it works public transport . but this region , the area as atormentada of europe , has never been so full of hope and today . firstly , i would like to thank the house for its excellent and expeditious consideration of the draft regulations , and i should like to congratulate the rapporteurs of the relevant committees : firstly to him . we have also had immediate results in serbia , where the commission in the course of only four weeks , drew up a programme of emergency aid amounting to eur 200 million . naturally , we can also accept the proposal that the directive to be followed by the commission reflect the search for greater efficiency stressed in our reforms . i hope that parliament understands the reasoning of the proposals we presented in may and we will continue to work constructively with other on this difficult and complex issue , but i cannot give my support for the european parliament 's amendment to delete the requirement of unanimity , because conflicts with the opinion of the college of quaestors . the challenge for the third conference in seoul was deepening the asem process both for the participants governmental and for the wider public . as regards the relationship between peoples , akin to the previous one , while maintaining the principle of opening up the process of asem to a greater segment of civil society , while the initiative of the ngos to create a social forum cannot be carried out by the opposition of certain participants asians . here we are pleased that we held a meeting of seoul and that barring one or two exceptions all heads of state attend to it . they have even made two specific proposals , namely a round table on globalisation and the duo fellowship program , 4300 fellowships worth 25m on us dollars . the commission communication is limited to deal with issues related to competences which correspond to the community and member states in the areas with a turnout at the same . if we are working on the basis that in all member states riparian out in the world are poquísimos those who have the strong economic potential , legal , legislative and politic with it the european union , we know how much we must ask ourselves what is our responsibility . cfp reform is important , but achieving suitable reforms is even more important . i am thinking of the many fish stocks migrants . we are all well aware of it throughout the european union and even beyond its borders . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , firstly i wish to thank you for your support for our efforts to foster and strengthen the community 's participation in regional fisheries organisations . but here we have already been made some progress , we must tighten up the timetable . indeed , the constant improvement in productivity of the nurseries begets as a growth in supply and if the union must be accompanied by an increase infinity within the apparatus of production , occurs again , inevitably , a strong market imbalance . it would be far preferable to instead every criador pig have begun to appreciate as its own booking . therefore , every criador pig would have its own piggy bank . it concerns the need to encourage producers ' organisations , whose implementation varies greatly from one member state to another . organisations of market , as they have worked so far , fomentaban the process of concentrating instead of preventing it . in this case globalization of the economy is becoming trick , this has nothing to do with crisis cyclical . all criador , whatever the place placed in the union , will eligible under this mechanism . mr president , commissioner , the rapporteur , mr garot , addressed in objectivity and with very precisely this commission proposal on the creation of funds for the pigmeat sector . it is a matter of balance . in this context , i must say , however , that the member garot manages to another consequence and which i , too , almost say yes , i may be more or less in agreement with the commission proposal as it stands , but let us be honest , not really it contains the essential point . i now turn to the idea of including the breeding specialising in piglets in the proposed system , as formulated in amendments nos 7 and 13 . so what do we have presented us with the commission ? firstly , we examines the budgetary implementation and the financial management of the budget within the headings targeted . the court emphasizes , therefore , your comments in previous years on the negative consequences of these practices , such as the decision-making unsatisfactory and hasty , the risk of error which represents the heavy burden on labour , and so on . the tragic events of recent past has shown , quite clearly , the growing importance of the issues of management and control of the european agenda . this means penalising member states self-confident and recompensed financial support for the less scrupulous . in this context , i should like to focus very briefly to improving the overall management of aid in the field of foreign policy is a major focus of the commission 's work , both with regard to the institutional reform of the whole field but also in terms of a reduced most emphatically and faster than before the high array of late payments . the european parliament is now at an re-opening amazingly difficult , given that this year postulated - in the course of enero- that was not prepared to accept that the clearance of accounts for the 1999 financial year indulgence while bedevilled by serious errors . i would like to address a number of problems and i hope that mr karlsson may now reply to my questions . we must have greater numbers and further action . this year already suffice to try to see if this is possible for us to begin to assess the work of directorates-general . we all know naturally the commission is starting in modifications . in this way will reduce the level of errors . therefore , both now and in future , we will judge the commission depending compliance with rules . let me first thank mr karlsson that cooperation with the committee on budgetary control in this case has been much better than in previous years . i would also like to ask you to publish a list of countries which have a worst record of maladministration in the eu and in which areas . madam president , i too would like to express my sincere thanks to the court of auditors for its report , as well as the political assessment offered by yesterday by the committee on budgetary control . there , too resaltaron again efforts to reform and the need for . we need to include what has just pointed out mrs van der laan , and here we agree entirely . for this may be necessary to give more powers to the president of the court in taking decisions concerning the working methods of the court and the way in which it carries out their statements . rates vary from one state to another , as well as their membership . he had been its work foremost on the common agricultural policy , the special report on arable crops , the court ruled that between 1993 and 1997 the community budget paid a larger amount to eur 13 billion more than we would have been considered . i do not make questions if we do not . the court of auditors also has to change their working methods . there is always something to celebrate . this report was approved by a large majority of the environment committee in parliament and , therefore , i will defend parliament 's vote in the committee . the second point relates to the export ban is being so - operated before . that is why i must say that i have major objections to this position and i would prefer to be rejected . in a second or a third reading we will need the much-vaunted 314 votes and the surely cannot be achieved by a report like this which has now been submitted . the commission has begun to take interim measures , but welcome , in this respect , and perhaps the commissioner could tell us more about that when he responds to the debate . we agree with the rapporteur when he underlines in consumer information on the risks and transparency , particularly in the field of health and safety . i would prefer to keep in mind subsidiarity . but i would suggest a wider discussion we had with my daughter elisabetta when i was nine-year and asked me to go lurch by the street . it must ensure that consumer protection undividedly behind , without duplicate provisions or that they have even contradict each other . i would also stress the importance of the amendments of the environment committee have reinforced transparency with regard to the end consumer and that determine the responsibility not only for producers , but also for distributors to possible operations of recuperation of products be dangerous . this also means that if we introduce new sectoral legislation , it will replace the relevant provisions of this directive . many amendments in the report represents an improvement in the document and , consequently , the commission cannot accept them . thirdly , amendment no 5 proposes to add , in a recital , the requirement for member states carry reasoned opinions on the cooperation of institutes public or private , competent and independent . although the commission is in favour of cooperation and of the common principles , the wording proposed goes against the principle of subsidiarity . the commission has not received a complaint on to the current wording and the amendments would weaken the rules . amendments nos 39 and 44 propose to allow public access to information on dangerous products only when we delivers prohibition or whether we inactivating the product , and that the exchange of information protected by professional secrecy should not be possible between the surveillance authorities of the market . mr martelli , as a rule not should be its intervening once it has been completed the round of voting but as an exception , i will briefly give him the floor . report ( a5-0294 / 2000 ) by mrs eriksson on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities on the proposal for a council decision [ com ( 2000 ) 335 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 ( cns ) ) on the programme of the community framework strategy on equality between men and women ( 2001-2005 ) mr president , i wish to address the order of voting for amendment to paragraph 10 - about the armenian genocide . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) liability is twofold : from the governments of the european union and the governments of the mediterranean partners . this aid is more than justified in the light of the tragedy . the prohibition of night work for women is one of the few areas where social legislation in some countries , which seeks to protect women , was superior to female workers for workers . i hope that in future the commission to submit each year , in due course , stock of the situation , thus creating the conditions necessary for the european parliament to examine and discuss the situation in greater depth . for these reasons , regretfully , i voted against . it is important for our products are safe , but we should not exaggerate deploying extreme action . today the european agency for reconstruction in kosovo is governed by a board of management , in which each of the representatives of member states and the commission has one-vote and in which decisions are taken by two-thirds majority . i believe that in the case of serbia the equivalent of algeria is called kosova . - ( da ) the danish social democrats voted against the report which established aid to producers swine within the eu . even so , albeit with some opening up of the french presidency , we know that the commission cannot accept these amendments and the council does not appear to be a majority to approve them . a substantial variation in the supply-side enough to cause a crisis . mr president , the armenian genocide was the first of all kinds of massacres perpetrated during the twentieth century , which can be regarded as the century of acts of genocide . since sweden is not prepared to take part in a common military defence , but of the civil crisis management , we cannot support paragraph 15 which ' welcomes the desire for turkey to contribute to improving the european capacities in the context of the common european security and defence policy ( pecsd ) ' . but apart from the obligation to remember that we must call on all democracies and that europeans are able how difficult and painful it is -on so difficult to certain european countries have not done completely - it is important that these barbaric acts which destroyed lives on grounds ethnic , religious or cultural and which conflict with the universal conscience will no longer be no more . this is undoubtedly of a different debate from today 's ; but , given the importance it attaches to me turkey , we wanted to point this out . thanks to which no one stops the population exercising their right to self-determination , peace has been done in these places . i voted in favour of the amendments requesting this recognition , today , to continue this testament to recognise the pain of a people . that event took place in times of the ottoman empire . not only the jové peres report i should like systematize this situation with regard to regional organisations involved and to those who are being established , it would , furthermore , greater integrity and stop the practice of the committee on recourse to the support of technicians from other member states . this applies , of course , to the issue we are discussing today is the representation of the european community within the regional fishing organisations , but also apply in the negotiations carried out , for example in the context of the world trade organisation . my suggestion of union was supported by the then president of the council , mr trittin , and the european commission on which parliament 's decision to unite three directives barely viewed opposition . let me give one example : pvc is 0.7 % of the waste incinerados . i shall conclude , mr president , stating that the ppe / de group is satisfied with the work carried out in this third reading . mr president , i would like to thank mr blokland for drawing up this important report . incineration is not in-service training . the report by mep , mr blokland , which has now come to the third reading , was to many of the members of the environment committee elected for the first time parliament the first proof of maturation , during which we have learned procedures here . introducing more stringent limit for emissions of new cement kilns to coincineran waste , as mentioned by mrs evans . apart from the various national situations , we can therefore see , in all member states of the european union , a reduction fairly general of cover mandatory , a more important role played by the so-called systems of health insurance complementary and an increase in factors discriminatory . it would be , instead , with a proposal for a directive to include the following points : the ban on using medical information nominativa from genetic research , a key point : the lack of consideration for health prior to accession , and the creation of an obligation to guarantee campaigns on the part of the insurer . the shouldering more coordinated on compensation for people who work against moving within the union , and finally , the creation of a mechanism to mediate . every time we are more positive with regard to the attention transfrontier so the action of the market applies progressively to health care . the united states is are often used as " footballers ' to the free market economy , but we shall be making a mistake garrafal if we take an paragon in health policy . it would be wrong if the eu establishment rules concerning , for example , health-related information or that exigieran which will secure throughout the world , shattered by this diversity of systems in sickness insurance present in many countries and that work on principles actuarial . later became apparent that there was one way to be dealt with . what is at stake here is the health of all citizens of our member states and the cohesion of our territories . it is no coincidence that i faced with such problems in my native dutchman . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , mr rocard asks the commission to define a green paper on the traits characteristic of basic insurance for the legal systems of health insurance . it is of particular concern to us . mr president , those of us we included in the course of our lives to dealing with social issues recalled that old classification used to include a definition of social protection as a package of measures to protect public attention to the risk economically measurable , of concreteness alone or family and those individuals - the united familiar- could not cater for themselves . this means that we need to think hard about the cause of the failure of health care publicized . the health insurance complementary part of a legal system of agreements and services . in an attempt to eliminate discrimination on grounds of the state of health , mr rocard would have killed a gooseflesh to egg of gold . the commission will intervene immediately in the context of their powers and i will try to deal with the conclusions of his report . i hope that we approve the proposals to recognise that the rating and integration of career earn a particularly important , so that we should bear in mind the phenomenon increasing importance to social exclusion and poverty despite the practice of a career remunerated . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , ourselves , as seen from the committee on economic and monetary affairs , i should like to congratulate the rapporteur on his report . in accordance with the agenda , we shall now proceed to the commission communication on the commission 's recommendations on the council opinion on the updating of the stability programmes in germany , finland and netherlands . this has led us to think otherwise and to ask ourselves whether the stability and growth pact has run out with the objective quantitative in a specific figure crunch , or whether to introduce further aspects concerning the quality of public finances in future programmes . our fundamental message is , therefore , that the margin for making cuts tax must be supplemented by a strict control of public spending . i believe that viewed generally be drawn from a positive assessment . mentioned that one of the larger countries of europe , which is also one of the most important for the european economy , in other words , germany , there is the possibility of putting an end to what appears to be a period of sobrecalentamiento of its economy . mr president , thank you mr della vedova . i believe that you wanted to us today refiriéramos to these two sections relating to the countries of the fight against bse in europe and its developments in france . we propose to the european commission and our partners in the union to prepare the extension of the tests at european level , in accordance with scientific recommendations . thus , efficiency , independence and transparency are the key principles that will guide notoriously the risk assessment alimentarius in europe . i will return to this point again . however , it is necessary to make these tests on a much wider scale . monitoring measures active , including the tests spot , it does to prevent infected animals for bse entering the food chain and animal feed . with the situation as we have today , it is always tempting to find a solution magic , a solution which , in one fell swoop , neutralize overweening and restore confidence . on monday i will ask the member states if there are fears that gaps in the application of controls over recent years , contrary to community legislation in this area , are a factor in the current increase in the incidence of bse . but the two things can be possible , swift action and remain serious . if you hinges suministrarlos quickly . this requirement is crucial , especially in connection with bse . our group is requesting an immediate ban on meat-and-bone meal and bone meal for all animals while member states are able to guarantee the drafting of laws on the prevention of bse and the strict application of the european directives . i do not know whether this is the cure-all , commissioner , but on behalf of the precautionary principle , i think that experience compels to prohibiting out today the use of renewable bone meal in feedingstuffs of all animals for breeding purposes , including the pigs , poultry and fish . i think the debate embarked upon in this house , namely to seek whose - the council , the commission or of the house - quite the brilliant or at least , it seems quite unnecessary . firstly , as others have said before me , it is necessary to conduct tests systematic in every cattle slaughtered consigned to the feeding of europeans . to show courage and ambition can we reconcile the interests health of europeans and the economic value of our producers , so that we can thus restoring confidence . i repeat , they are in no way responsible for the crisis . that is why the european union must show its solidarity with them . i do not accept the arrogance of some member states that , when stop burying screening tests , we are calling for a regulation . the european solidarity must also play a role , that our policy has highlighted the incoherences : setaside , bone meal to ruminants , nitrates and pesticides . i have to listen to what it says here in this house , mr gollnisch that your group was a figurehead for the discussion about bse . furthermore , we believe it necessary to bring it acote any hotbed and prohibiting meat exports only if we show their safety . it is unthinkable that we , in politics , not let us emphasise enough that agenda . i am glad that we continue to analysing the extent of the tests on the basis experimental . but if generalizamos screening tests , if we cut down meat-and-bone meal , if we impose the massacre of the whole pack by a single sick animal , we must demand health rules strictly equivalent to third countries which are our trading partners and looking for export to the community live animals , channels and ready to meat . the reasons lie elsewhere . madam president , i am very pleased that the commission has been said , at last , so vehement advocates of tests which cover the entire country . effectively , france shows that anyone who seeks , find themselves . what do we prevent us from acting ? why do we need to be having a crisis for coming here to ensure that we in parliament , we firmly believe that public health is absolute priority ? the link between feedingstuffs for bonemeal and bse , which also constitutes a form of food completely unnatural , it became apparent to everyone . i therefore ask you to the european commission for imposing a certain degree of harmonisation in this area . i urge the commission to produce a complete revision of the systems in place in france for resolving cases of bse . the result is that poison adheres to the system , as is currently happening , and destructive . naturally , it is difficult coexistence , in this area , for national legislation and european legislation . in addition , there is legislation in force which establishes how should we draw up the meat and bone meal , the treatment of which should be put this heartily - one more measure in place which has been incorporated into the system to protect public health and food safety . so i ask the standing veterinary committee , which is meeting as we speak , to examine this matter to determine what olds are carried out these tests . i refer to analyse housings for animals aged over the age determined to reveal whether there is infection and , if so , stray into the animals in the food chain . serve as an example the technical aspects of the almohada causing the death of a immigrant in belgium , the use of heavy sedantes in spain and the transport of migrants crammed into holds of ships in italy and spain , the tragedy of the 58 chinese immigrants deaths in the united kingdom in the port of dover , having been held several times within european territory , and the widespread use of different means of coercion and intimidation against immigrants expelled . that is my commitment . in my reply is me . the issue of violence against women takes many forms : violence family , which is a crime silenciado , the various forms of sexual exploitation , trafficking in women , traffic in human beings . mr president , mr nogueira would say that , of course , in the model that we have already established , monetary policy , corresponds to the central bank which is the european central bank whoever is behaving according to the criteria laid down in the treaty . mr president , i think that in the public is very important to distinguish between the impacts interior and effect outside , and i would say this : can headway with the commission now , shortly before the introduction of euro notes and coins , terrifying to explain to people the difference between the impacts interior and effect outside of monetary stability ? if what greece does not adopt the necessary measures , the commission will continue the process that has already begun . what does the commission is to ensure that there is a system of monitoring and measuring . at the same decision , the commission had undertaken to examine systems of support in all member states , based on criteria specific compatibility approved until 2004 , the year which will expire the date of validity of the permission of the regime frenchman of aid . establishing a europe which promotes the integration and in terms of the lisbon european council , will make an effort and a course of action plan . secondly , thereby bringing largest partner of the experience of players who work on the ground and ngos , for the local authorities and of social bodies and of the very people who are capable of marginalization . there are many people in advanced ages as they would agree with that , as people who have worked long hours at a wage downsized which does not provide a livelihood vitally decently ( workers in this field , for example . they can be adhered to . mental problems can be groups of which they do not know what language need to get a job . in the united states earmarking softer ensures that poverty will make for shorter periods with unemployment weak . in my own country , nearly 75 % of those working and living below the poverty threshold are women . that is why we must try to achieve , at least in part , this commitment . i am convinced of the goodwill of the thei . we must step up the budget in view of the procedures . realism needed here . . mr president , i wish to thank and congratulate mrs figueiredo , and i would also like to thank the members of parliament who are not here and who have expressed an opinion on the other committees . i also agree with underlining the importance of ngos and of the regional and local actors , as you address , and of better reflected in the text of his experience on the ground . we have already agreed that the social protection committee will meet regularly with the contact group , consisting of members of parliament . in accordance with the agenda , is the debate on the report ( a5-0320 / 2000 ) by mrs rothe , on behalf of the committee on industry , external trade , research and energy , on the draft directive by the european parliament and council [ com ( 2000 ) 279 - c5-0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0116 ( cod ) ) on the promotion of electricity produced from renewable energy sources in the internal electricity market . we need now to binding objectives . another important point to which the commission gave its assent to this problem linking access the network and access to it for renewable energies . particularly in my country , spain , the guidelines would be responsible for that between now and 2010 people should be of atmospheric 225.000 million tonnes of co2 additional and that cannot be fulfilled the kyoto targets . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , the commission 's proposal for a framework within which the share of electricity from renewable energy sources will increase significantly in the european union in the medium term is an initiative lawful . the effort which the rapporteur , mrs roth-behrendt . but threatening can always come from compatibility with the internal market . discards are a renewable resource , despite the fact that every day occurring again and again . consequently , this directive acquires a topical inadvertently . however , i strongly support this proposal . mr president , i would like to thank mrs rothe on her excellent report which comes timely in this week , particularly when we are fighting to prevent a crisis of climate change . promoting the use of electricity produced from renewable energy sources is a very worthy of support . we call for changes technological drastic . rather , the proposals on energy we encounter only occasionally , without much more coherent . rothe and i would like to conclude , i just mention three points that have arisen during this debate . moreover , at the beginning of coherence , the above-mentioned objectives translated into national parameters must be binding , as otherwise the directive would be of no content and substance . at the same token , amendment no 3 in part , but not amendment no 7 , which is too technique in the text of the proposal . but , ladies and gentlemen , we cannot accept the parts that prejuzgan applying the rules on state aid . in accordance with the agenda , is the debate on the report ( a5-0308 / 2000 ) by mrs theorin , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , on the participation of women in the peaceful resolution of conflicts [ 2000 / 2025 ( ini ) ] . while processes formal peace are a venue almost exclusively male , findings and statements internationals demonstrate the importance of the female participation in the resolution of conflicts and to the restoration of peace . decisions on the implementation and enforcement of aid measures are of the responsibility of the office of crisis and the competition unbiased and specialises in women held in scant attention and appreciation . apparently want to retain their positions of power in matters of foreign and defence policy and believe that the interests of women can stand up for them . mr president , i should like firstly to all our interests which i have this report , which wonderfulness i wanted to stress that the great excellence - even . it must also be financial resources needed to help women suffering from this situation . mr president , we have already heard a great deal and i shall not repeat . theorin , on which we have an excellent report , which is a very important matter and the hotly topical . how , nothing less than a substantial participation of women in the diplomatic resolve of conflict can change the world and transform the cultural overbearing of confrontation and violence in culture of peace and dialogue and settling democratically respecting differences . i therefore fully support the demands of the report by the women must have a right to exercise influence mildly . a report which well-researched , disarray , rigorous , able to address fundamental principles with clarity contained in article 17 , audacious and also with a great practicality and proposals desperately needed . and i think we should condemn all abuses and all forms of slavery ! my fifth point concerns the role of echo , the humanitarian office of the european community , in respect of which is the issue , and parliament 's invitation to regard the gender dimension . the problem is that work is carried out millions of people , particularly women , for which there is also a considerable need though this work does not have any kind of regularization . i think we must make the member states to regulate this sector by means of directives work-related as has been raised in the dictámen by the european parliament on these directives . the security migrant is typically an collaborative important in this sector , which calls for special measures , as reception centres specialised , to facilitate a helping hand . it is a matter for which should be dealt with by the member states . protesting has increased in recent years in order meteórica but i do almost nothing has been taken into account in professional life in general and the rights and obligations arising from this . ( the sitting was closed at 12 midnight ) ( loud applause ) we must not only create the internal system of freedom and peace , but also harmonised with the rules and practices that the european community and the european union has for decades . the first step we need to take in our support for the restructuring of the constitutional federal state is to establish a framework for democratic dialogue as broadly as possible on the nature of relations between the two republics . you , the european parliament 's representatives , who are the direct representatives of the citizens of the member states , the citizens of europe , are those who are best placed to understand why the possibility itself to enter europe seems to us so uncertain as we , the citizens of the current yugoslavian federation . we shall continue our proceedings . this is because it is about on a matter of great significance and importance to the citizens , so that it would be right and necessary that we could do so du the commission said it would present a detailed proposal on this subject within six months ago and has kept its word . currently , the european union now has an effect on public access to documents , and we should remember that many people audacious and many member states progresistas taken back years been so that we will increase transparency . this report is still being retocado even in parliament and i believe , therefore , that this should be improved . we are pleased to find the report as a principle crucial that we also defend vehemently from the committee on budgets . now it is an opportunity to take a look at the questions which do not enjoy especial appreciation for the media and for interest groups and then take more involved in the open and democratic debate which is so important for the confidence in the eu . the committee on petitions pleads for shorter periods for publishing documents . when we no longer justifies , this document should be accessible . i would also like to stress that everyone will have guaranteed access to documents , in many ways . the dogma of political responsibility must not be confused with the rights of access to documents from european citizens . i would appeal to the rapporteurs to remove the regulation no reference to the rights of members , as it is on public access to documents , and i would urge all colleagues to watch very well that their interests does not prevail over the interests of the public . in these areas , access to documents is not guaranteed and is vedado not only for the citizens , but also to the european parliament to which , moreover , nor will it gives him or consultation on the fundamental documents . but a great cause for bitterness remains . mr president , firstly i should like to thank mr cashman for having done a splendid piece of work on this report . it is a very important report , which is an essential part of what we might call the new principle of transparency in the eu . ( technical fault ) this is not just the principle of free access to all documents , but also , of course to at last be possible to open the door of the european council , so that the council did not adopt in future , the style of metternich and its decisions and only secretly , only to be able to incordiar readily to brussels . secondly , i would like to comment on the work on derogations . our people realizes that europe is not democratic , where decisions are taken behind closed doors . maij-weggen , to put forward in such a short period this report . pursuant to article 255 of the treaty , the proposed regulation should be adopted before the 1 may 2001 , i.e. two years after the entry into force of the treaty of amsterdam . i should like to address a few problems which are now at the moment that the commission can accept certain amendments . as i indicated before , in some cases we can agree , in principle , with the amendments , but we must work together on the basis of technical and administrative , for example , on the amendments with the classification of documents and registration . we lack of any written document and i should like , also for the future , the commission remitiese to members , in writing , its recommendations . welcome we are in favour paramount importance given to the dilution of credit risk , in particular to the financial able to give small businesses . report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) by mr blokland on the joint text , approved by the conciliation committee on the directive by the european parliament and council [ c5-0371 / 2000 - 1998 / 0289 ( cod ) ] on waste incineration mr president , may i ask you to the liberal group , i ask you again in both a of the co-ponentes , which will address the question of any form somewhat more practical terms ? it is therefore a common wishes of the ppe-de and pse groups to the vote be postponed until november ii . i therefore propose to consign the vote villiers and november ii . i have followed the rules which i have greatly authorising services and the bureau not decided otherwise . as chair , today i must tell you that alone , as a fellow member , i can say that i agree with you . despite the negative attitude displayed by initially , when the european parliament denounced the threat to the united kingdom , and even in the second stage , when the scandal in great britain had reached the point here then , the measures they looked substantially in that country , without any programme imminently from rigorous controls and restructuring of cattle-farming at european level . that is why we wish to draw four main lessons which we must take into account in future . we voted in favour of this joint resolution . the increased number of cases in england to the new variant of cjd , the situation in france have brought to the agenda , with even more vehemence , the issue of mad cow disease - bse . for fear of that panic amongst the people or worried to prevent disasters commercials , some governments do not have greatly in real time to the commission the necessary information or not proceeded , from the outset in who were these dangerous phenomena , to block the immediate use of products in question and to prohibit the exportation . farmers cannot deal with this crisis alone : we must implement a programme of accompaniment of livestock farming as a whole series of measures to recover consumer confidence . the inability of the european organisations - the council , commission and parliament - determine policy relevant community to respond to the security needs of the member states most closely affected is going to speak of problems in hierarchy between the obligations of the single market and the requirements of public health and safety of our people . we have obtained , after many discussions with the council , satisfaction on several points . the days of landfills are coming to a conclusion and must be replaced by technologies more advantageous to the environment . participating in processes the social partners and , above all , lobbyists afflicted people to be administers the programme . although we must welcome the upturn in growth and the drop in unemployment , we must not hide the persistence and indeed the escalation of and inequalities . i think the rapporteur is right when he calls for greater involvement of local government , for the social partners and civil society in measures to overcome poverty and social exclusion up-to-date . the ' poor workers ' , where most of them are women , employed part-time , downwards and on more complete precariousness , join the trail of misery that official speeches on the rebuilding neglects completely . three years ago , prime minister instituted a unit against social exclusion which coordinates the government action to reduce social exclusion enacting common solutions to common problems . so far , there are installed more than 60 rotores that occupy the area of mil compos games . the dependency , which is approximately 50 % throughout the union , it may take 70 % by 2020 unless it is developing renewable energies . it is true that we have to be safety standards superior and effective with regard to the use of nuclear energy and the storage of nuclear waste . we should accept as such , it sharply to be expected , but that continued without being used in both the regulations are technical progress towards that . the preparations for asem 4 should be an opportunity to reaffirm the need democrática ; firstly , am informing and the intervention of the assemblies concerned and civil society - who behaves in particular the implementation of a social forum - and , secondly , to take full account of social rights , environmental and human . it is apparent in recent times that parliament has fallen victim to certain misunderstandings and even of some criticism . we saw that was the same misadventures of what happened in parliament at the outset , because he had to batallar and continues batallando because it has greater powers , more resources , more profile and to bring its representativeness . the central american parliament , like the european parliament , must be gaining in prestige , in credibility and in legitimacy , based on the activities of the political groups , because the lives of party is , or should be at least , faithful reflection of the societies we represent . with regard to human rights , we have been supported since 1990 cooperation programmes for respect for human rights through training and awareness-raising in this area . ( b5-0855 / 2000 ) by mr van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group ; the extreme confusion which characterised the context electoral over recent weeks in ivory coast , until now , however economic model , is symptomatic of a country in crisis , with economic crisis , hopeless social and political meaning chaos . the political leaders , military and interethnic must do everything possible to achieve a national reconciliation . we need to via the debate on the ' marfilidad ' , that debate hit-and-miss which is none other than the implementation of national preference that we are fighting in our own countries , where logical and latter is the application of ethnic cleansing , be completely combated and deleted any reference to connotation on ' marfilidad " in the constitution of the ivory coast . he has supported the lifting of the constitution , intended to dispose of the ultimate opponent , watara , on the grounds that their parents and they both marfileños . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , although ivory coast was a stronghold of stability and democracy in comparison with the countries of west and central africa , blighted for some time tensions in nature ethnic and religious and recently , we have given abuses of power by the previous government of president badié , which will lead to a decision violent appropriated for the military . we condemn the continuing ethnic violence and above all politicians in their demagogy it has caused . in accordance with the agenda , the next item is the joint debate on the following motions for resolutions : the next meeting between asean and the eu in laos in december offers us an opportunity crucially important to demonstrate our strong condemnation of this regime . furthermore , i have no confidence that our own ministers there raise these issues . asean is now , with full respect for the floor on a paper tiger of failure to cope with the terrible events in burma . the commission has stated that it intends to crush the party altogether . it is a historic duty and , of course , the situation is difficult . the improvements light-touch - which we must not actually the author of the amendments by the socialist group , mr sakellariou - have taken place over the last few years and have led to a situation that there is certainly more tragic but it is appalling and that of anyhow falls short of the challenges of the vietnam on today . mr swoboda , the european parliament is pliable , efficiently . however , it would be nice if , in hanoi , the us president not concentrates only to strengthening the mutual collaboration . instead , it will depend on just firm promises from vietnam as to undertake a radical improvement in the miserable situation prevailing in the country 's human rights . i would ask the council and commission to protesten strongly about this flagrant violation of religious freedom perpetrated by the vietnamese government . the process has led , too , to sign the agreement on cooperation between commission and vietnams in 1995 . it is parties who were contained in the proposal for a resolution that we have put forward . i agree that we must do all we can to help them , but ayudaríamos more changing this situation which has caused their misery and that of countless people throughout the world . the issues that are being discussed is medium and long term . mr president , commissioner , flooding that some weeks ago they affected many areas in northern italy as well as for other european countries - uk , spain , ireland and france - returns to parliament to both the problem of urgent action , extra to relieve the needs of individuals , of the community and of the firms involved , and of a policy longer-term which prevents it possible to repeat íatural disasters of this scope . the transport sector , because they steady growth forecast - over 38 % in the next década- , will be one which requires key measures . the debate is closed . this is perhaps part of the customs and traditions in this parliament , but i think it is extremely delicate stop believing that the european parliament adopts commitments in this matter , try to entrusting this task like this to the commission with a shareholding so low . ( parliament rejected the request ) . the economic and social policy in the eu , which has led to a reduction in capacity adquisitiva and of the possibilities contributions for workers , the emergence of new diseases and impunity for the pharmaceutical companies have caused a considerable increase in expenditure on health . indeed , it opens up such a broad field to insurers private , on condition that nothing at seleccionen ( initially ) to sufferers and premiums for seguro for pathology . if it gets spent a lot of money , and no longer counts . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am glad to be here today in the presence of a group of visitors from my constituency beauty , and i congratulate him on heart . that is to be given to the entities plenty of time so that they correspond to the new provisions . the report takes into account consensus-building appreciating that tends to point out inability of the current regulations in order to take account of developments in the financial sector in the past ten years . i say ' yes ' for closer consideration of the technical minimizadoras of risk , and we also say yes to enlargement of the root of the basle committee . we also believe satisfying the important contribution to this report makes the whole process . finally , and this is a crucial point , we are entirely aware that we must respect the institutional balance laid down in the treaty . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . mr president , i should like to finally seize this opportunity to congratulate the ombudsman jacob söderman , to congratulate him on his work in the fight against mismanagement and therefore also in the cog in enhanced approximation of european citizens to the life of the european institutions . mr president , luckily , the european parliament have always maintained , in accordance with the nordic tradition , which must be strengthened and consolidating the situation of the ombudsman . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m . after all , access to documents is a civil rights and fundamental to a nominee without any documentation priority over the unconnected with the examinations . we considered it legitimate for a nominee can gain access to their copy corrected , there access to documents is a fundamental right , repute not by the charter of fundamental rights which we have adopted this week . they should be . this example should follow the other institutions and bodies , as recommended by the committee on petitions . the citizens of the european union should be given a impression when they try positively with the european institutions . and what is new in this case is that should be guided by the practices of this request for the wonderfulness and avoid anything which , according to our experience , can undermine confidence in the member states themselves . with regard to other institutions , it is up to them the option of making the procedures raised in the report or in questions of the ombudsman . the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . if that is my preventing a disaster ineluctable we would be in a democratic bankruptcy , but unless they consider relevant to come , not deserve the votes . are meaningful criteria for utmost caution embraced , however , we must also discuss other aspects of the issue , particularly the coefficient solvency which is a ratio of weighting of sorts of counter-balance to approximate the risk of credit implied by the asset of a bank . creations provisional from the police academy ( eep ) this police cooperation is crucial if we can achieve the great goal to provide european citizens a high level of safety in the area of freedom , security and justice . enlarging the european union , with the extension of the area of freedom of movement of people , must be accompanied by accompanying measures in terms of safety and the peaceful coexistence among the member states . i hear that the conditions in prisons french and portuguese vary widely . in other words , if you want common standards , we must definirlos one , otherwise you will have trained police completely colourful . however , thanks to the work of mr posselt , enquiries are envisaged for staff training of police forces must be broadened and human rights and the protection and also important and appropriate at this moment the idea of creating a police academy virtual appétit the potential of the internet . but here we are in strasbourg and in the house up desierta , listening to the unthinkable . our own prime minister , mr prodi . it is a good idea and on a european union in which people enjoy free movement and freedom of trade and the freedom of establishment , in which travellers from scotland can go to sicily and greece , course waiting to develop a common system for maintaining the rule of law . in the netherlands , the police this trained in de-escalating of conflicts and the eradication tolerant , and we consider as societal phenomena normal the existence of subculturas , ethnic minorities , the use of churches as safe havens by people who have no right of residence permit and organisation of protestations policies . anyone who believes in the best solutions which support must not be afraid of confrontarlas with each others ' solutions . i hope that the academy will provide here a rational sauce for the future . it is a good illustration of what is beginning to be appointed at present under the name of europe as networks , a europe that predicated on the united nations in direct contact , not maintain superestructuras useless . the majority of cases of kidnapping of children are being managed very sound and efficient by the central authorities in all member states . so it is essential that we fill this gap for the sake of fairness , on realism on developments sociological and equal rights and obligations for all citizens of the european union . meanwhile , we welcome this step and we will give it our warm-hearted support . from our sympathy for the purpose provoked , we agree with the proposed measures . the question of a day goes out to people who often goes to the other side of the world to see this child . the positions adopted by the european parliament on this matter , as well as the case-law of the court of justice , confirms this view of the commission . i know that fifa , has played in obtaining more time and has been doing over the account before presenting a response to waging a formal commission carried out in 1998 . naturally it is the commissioner responsible for matters sporting who represent them in the future of the union in the wada . decision uk of imposing a tax on the road haulage not britons ireland is obviously a very small market but opened , but most of what we stems from the united kingdom . in conclusion , we are rushing in keeping this debate in parliament , but i welcome the fact and commissioner vitorino 's statement , which clearly states that the united kingdom has the right to introduce a system of the euro-vignette , provided that respects the rules and regulations in force . mr president , expenses and the machines are sensitive , and here i asegurarlo in case of austria , where we are always on the matter with twists and turns , and which always are being sought solutions to the roads . the question is not discriminate on the other driver or those in europe for the benefit of british drivers . they will pay for the vignette more than we would have unless there is no special exemption or a basis per diem . on 22 november , that is the very day of the 25th anniversary of the crowning glory of king juan carlos , which opened the way for democracy in spain , one of the high figures from this democracy has in turn to pay with their lives for their faith in freedom , on tolerance and respect for others . guárdenlas because all extremely carefully . the negotiating position of the european union centred on the protection of the environmental integrity of the kyoto protocol in the fields of change in the use of the land and forestry , the question of the ' sinks ' , the relationship between the mechanism of kyoto and the homework , known as ' supplementarity ' , and enforcement . in order to prepare the next part-session , the eu should not resume talks on the issues , but dwelling on the key priorities , particularly the mechanisms of the ' sinks ' , the " supplementarity ' and a strict regime of compliance . mr prescott we have now been under water and we do not know how long will collapse . finally , i find it positive that have not given up on the subject of the reductions , not least because there is very difficult to carry out measurements exact . it is not possible backtracking on nuclear energy . however , we must move forward . in may 2001 , in bonn , should be incorporated into the equation . during the follow-up conference in bonn , to be held in may 2001 , should be sought this circus compromise . if we have taken a world where we live in the future , the challenge we face in relation to climate change is clearly one of the greatest twenty-first century . the same applies to measurements sat in co2 wells , as the planting downstream of forest . the hague conference will go ahead , as you announced this , commissioner , spring who comes in bonn . madam president , thank you for your contribution commissioner wallström . if anything there was no disunity was in the relationship between the european parliament delegation and the commission . do not need to agree to the next meeting of cop6 is not an option . we had an attitude very constructive and we negotiate until the last minute of that discussion in the hague . has the floor , mr president-in-office . with regard to the coordination of social security arrangements , the tax system , in matters of asylum , visas and immigration , in the trade negotiations in the field of services - a point of runaway - but certain countries still have major problems . let me add that have still not reached agreement on the distribution of seats in the european parliament . reach an agreement which will enable the union operate after new countries joining , all those who are preparing now actively , is a crucial stage in the future of the european union and the enlarged union . of course , its president is guest . this will be submitted in nice , and naturally we hope to be ratified . they see for you and the debates will be very densos at nice . in order to make the union will be effective , the conference should significant advances along these lines , and this also represents extending the codecision procedure . he referred to the codecision by the european parliament . ( applause ) this challenge is the reunification of our former continent , an enlargement which has no coinciding with regard to their scale and to that is what we must prepare ourselves for the nice summit . madam president , the main aim of the nice summit is to enlarge the european union and prepare the union for enlargement . madam president , mr president-in-office , mr prodi , in my view , to date the governments of the fifteen will not have strewn with glory . this method is not good . it is now being proposed decision-making by qualified majority in 49 spheres . majority decision-making kill the right of veto in the parliamentary democracies in the member states , but the eu is not herself on parliamentary democracy . mr president , europe needs leadership , needs clarity , needs to make choices , needs foresight . the principle of the blackmail of designating does not seem acceptable , in view of the conclusions of the european council in biarritz , even if the latter was informal . these are , mr president-in-office of the council , the items on the basis of which we will assess the results of nice , and you have also our commitment on the point you mentioned in connection with the services of general economic interest . i will take attitude to the treaty of nice when he sees as a result , but it is an experience somewhat schizophrenic attend this debate . at the amsterdam summit the heads of state and government suspended and get to chew luck in nice . if the chasm between large and small countries within the council is opening overdoing it carries a risk of being in a few years enormous crisis of legitimacy inside the european union , there small-scale bound to feel at home for fear of being unable to defend their identity . the french president and prime minister seem more addicted to his own political future than that of europe . they will be serious legal problems of interpretation by not transpose the text of the treaty , but only sign it politically . furthermore , i would stress the importance of providing strong institutions to europe to balance out an institutional void in relation to the speeding up which has been achieved in terms economical with the euro . the declared aim of this investigation is the configuration of institutions more effective , adequate part-way towards an enlarged europe , and at the same time , easing the irrefutable democratic deficit . but it also means the restructuring of the committee itself 133 : increase their accountability and ensure that its agenda and its conclusions are accessible and its composition is vast and inclusive . mr president , i speak not only to the president-in-office of the council , but also to all the governments of member states , when i say that , if we fail agreed in nice on these difficult issues , nothing will disappear . the process of codecision in recent years has shown that it works . and in this respect i would say that we must take it that the area of trade policy will be included in the extension of qualified majority . when i was a seven-year-old girl , was forced to flee from the country to the progress of the red army , a transient self-respecting escondía in the cunetas lest it did ask aviation soviet-style . mr méndez de vigo just referred justifiably à la carte . we cannot expect more from him . the empathy is coming ever closer and , although perhaps not present the lowest common divisor , is a truly common divisor small , even tiny . . ( fr ) mr president , i would firstly like to thank the members , because i think that it is a debate of high quality . so there is absolutely no question of not proclaim the charter , it is not a question of transparency . indeed , the system of the rotation egalitarian also applies to the large countries , which , at some point , could be found without sergeant , like the others . i believe that parliament will be able to see that the european union has improved institutional mechanisms which will allow him to confront the continuation of the european union 's development that we unites all . the vote will take place tomorrow . mr president , i agree with the statement by the union . i am totally opposed to that nobody appears to a minister invited , be turk or any other nationality . clearly , in this house for european democracy that we must ensure the safety of all our guests and to everyone who has been found under our roof . the minister for health , claim that the pellets not hurt and with the upholding of " addressing the tumours and with the dope ' they have been destroyed the foundation for the dignity of every human being pleading the liberalization of drugs . the least we can say is that there is a good way of proceeding , not to say a snub to parliament , and unless we consider that meps are nothing to say about human rights when you are about to vote by a large majority the charter of fundamental rights , the same will be absent from this platform of the european union , to which , last year , many of them had been employed for dialogue with ngos and the institutions . we have talked enough about this issue . even before amsterdam the european parliament as well as the commission were in favour of that the official relex outside vice-chairman of the commission and accepting simultaneously the role of high representative , with particular responsibility and do so with the council . as they did before the feira summit , by adopting a resolution on 15 june , the european parliament should approve tomorrow a text which sums up his position , as the nice council . the development of the pecsd is a new departure for the european project , and therefore needs to spell the current institutional framework . the european council should adopt at nice several decisions , which leads me to quote . for the first debate , earlier this year , the commission will prepare a table , country by country , rooted in last year 's budget , which describirá the state of compromises , in payments , and of the funds that have yet to settle in relation to the main programmes financed by the community budget and on the edfs . we have worked and also in terms of regional cooperation , notion that i had some resistance from some countries in this area , that they do not want to see the return to shutting in a rose from which came , and i can say that because of that summit , realized that there is no contradiction between regional cooperation and their progress , its approach , with regard to the european union , particularly through the stabilisation and association confirmed and specified on this occasion . before has there been an summit with india , under the portuguese presidency , and a ministerial meeting will take place with asean . it is not a reason for desalentarnos . i recall the range of tasks : humanitarian aid , evacuation of national , conflict prevention , but also separateness by force of belligerent parties . that is , of course , on the independence in decision-making in the european union and recognizing the voluntary nature and politic of the commitments given . he has done more than anyone to personification of the resolution of conflicts in part of the world which i know very well and has been praised properly throughout the world for her efforts . part of the attention given to the media in building that force in the country i know best is really astounding . i would like to thank mrs lalumière for having highlighted the report on the prevention of conflicts that the commission is drawing up with the high representative for the european council in nice . thank you , commissioner . that is , in my opinion , the real test for the european union . the impatient fellow-citizens complain that european democracy is too slow . the people must also have the greatest possible access to information and documents . in the current proposals continues to be quite wrong what to do this role . with a european flag in the car , is going on all sides , up to the most desheredado of refugee camps . that is why , mr president , on which europe must , in my opinion , decide to act now . if we europeans will not take a responsible role in resolving this conflict regardless of the united states , we will need to bring it into other areas of conflict will not call us nor trustworthiness as mediators . except that her personal commitment does not replace the democratic legitimacy of the common european security and defence policy . i cannot accept certain specific points of the report by mrs lalumière . abandonment of this wide range of instruments for prevention civilian of conflicts will find out in the long term as a self-delusion . i do not suffice council declarations by observing that we have already adopted resolutions and that this will make headway in any way . as you can figurarse , we reject the two reports , and we are endeavouring to do everything in our power opposing a policy whereby they express ... thirdly , we must establish the corridor nuclear weapons free , as proposed at the time olof palme , from the baltic to the black sea . i would like to congratulate mrs lalumière on her report . the brok report is also covers the post of high representative of the common policy on security and defence policy . what shame , i say to mr van orden and my other colleagues , because my colleagues on the other side of the pond , the irish sea , have much to offer here : tradition , experience and practice . the european parliament , together with the national parliaments , it is , in our view , the appropriate body to do so . i believe that the lessons to learn in the recent experience has will in future when faced with the need for a policy and a capacity of european defence , which , in my view it is a component as essential for european integration as is the single currency . i also believe that the amalgamation of the different media is a property that is an option , specifically to the european union and for the task facing us , if this policy is progressing and builds - is to develop a genuine european culture of prevention and treatment of conflicts . i believe it will take place pro-dialogue . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission 's resignation , in march 1999 , revealed the need to reform its structures and their working methods . the reform , which can be conceived from above , must be transparent and must presented to the union , the entire staff , and that is linked to effectively set for officials to this whole process . this provision will require time but it is inevitable and essential for the reform . the commission reform , an act essential for the future of our institutions . drafting my report i have studied not only the white paper , but also the second report of the committee of experts and the resolution adopted by parliament on 19 january , proposed by michiel van hulten , on the work of the aforementioned committee of experts . the court of auditors notes in his report which does not conflict with the abolition of visa ante whenever this derogation be replaced by other procedures which provide guarantees , at least equivalents , and will lead to creators of players other than financial controller 's . all the major organizations are now being more open ; we are doing more transparent ; they are using information technology for new ways ; they are from the traditional forms vertical of organisation , sharing information throughout the organisation and between organisations . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , in spite of its scope , the content of the white paper presented by commissioner kinnock raises no direct an institutional matter . furthermore , we have already mentioned this afternoon in the context of the debate on the common foreign policy . finally , we have to deal with the thorny issue of the proposal early retirement . the decentralisation of financial control to the directoratesgeneral is an important step , but only works if they get proper training , if we enough funds available and if the responsibility of the heads of online demand an appropriate way . bodies and their leaders must have clear potential for making the best possible management . with regard to the disciplinary procedure here too there are promises but has still not clear rules or statements on how we are to apply these rules , and also the question of externalisation is finally cleared up . this reform is necessary to serve faithfully heavens and cannot be imposed by rules . like all novelty that adjusts situations consolidated , it is clear that we should be careful , and to tread carefully . however , we are withdrawing amendment no 6 . we shall request a split vote on the last part of amendment no 15 because we do not believe that the current system in the ecb is given to this situation . the last time that i was part this parliament , the president of the commission was jacques delors , working together with commissioner brittan and , prior to this , with the commissioner cockfield . madam president , commissioners , ladies and gentlemen , we continue with this reform justified hopes . issues of the bse crisis , oil prices , the greenhouse boast a component european nodding . the public must also have the feeling that the commission actually accessible and transparent . for the european parliament , the reform is a vital issue on which has a knock-on effect , as the budgetary authority and that legislator . defines many clear procedures for various ways of denounce suspected wrong-doing both inside and outside the institution where he used an official . so i am convinced that we will have the pleasure to listen to him on future occasions . mr garriga polledo , allow me to say briefly that we are preserving the balance of the financial perspective . the reform must be carried out by the commission staff , so we need to tolerate . we see a reform makeup makes no sense at the moment of profound change . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i should like to highlight the quality of the own-initiative report by mrs sauquillo pérez del arco connected with the reform of the commission and its impact on the effectiveness of the european union 's relations with the developing countries . we want to see greater responsibility . before moving to assist projects we try to remove all forms of waste-management existing thrashing out and chasing who has taken advantage , took off and has applied for the people who are in compilation of need . it is because mr nielson is equal to that responsibility collegial he will certainly it this evening . more serious still is , in the commission 's proposal , separation contiguous that persists . in 2001 , for example , the financial responsibility will be desconcentradas on 22 delegations , computer systems of other fifteenth delegations will be up-to-date and will be 40 creation of new staff to the external service . maritime safety but of the erika , nor that ievoli sun , were french vessels . in fact this is one of the priorities of the agenda of the committee on the fateful sinking , 11 months ago , the erika . we hope and trust that the 21 december the council of ministers will help you to the determination of the european institutions to truly improve maritime safety with the adoption of common positions on these three texts . i believe that lies before us but we must ensure that this agreement came into force . i understand , and i welcome the attempt by the minister for which end up as soon as possible and with these two reports - that is why welcome in principle your proposal that , if possible , we can discuss the subject in december . figment of doing this , we have developed a parliamentary report on amending the directive that suggests improvements in various aspects conducentes to underpinning the classification system , as a means and valid instrument to guarantee the safety of shipping . however , the legacy of so many years , in which materials were simply spills , remains , and has sometimes once again there to haunt us , often with serious consequences . for that purpose disclosure of information is essential to make the public to obtain information and telephones emergency , and so on . i hope greatest achievements of the second set of proposals and the creation of a european agency for maritime safety . i consider laudable his arguments , but we can only talk about results that have been analysed in the council . we know , of course , that we used to the port state control has not been an issue heavily on maritime safety , we know that not all the classification societies have been right to be serious and correct , but rather chapucera , its role as a roadworthiness tests of ships , and we know that without double hull tankers are attacked by watches floating . we are building a new credibility , on the one hand , and we should not be echarla to come , then , by acting wrong with the commission . anyone who does not take that responsibility must stay away from our waters and ports . the watts report tightens up measures to prevent ships which demonstrate serious risks or flying the flag of convenience , without abolishing the kind of pavilions . nevertheless , i am delighted that the commission 's proposals have been adopted the main demands made by those who have been elected by the french coast : ban on single-hull tankers with , reinforcement of port controls , and assessment of classification societies . we also share your view of boosting the duty of the voyage data recorders . guarantees of navigability of a ship demanded major steps corporate responsibility and on inspection , as has already been said . in conclusion let me assure you that these measures do not have a firm commitment to reach the level of safety desired . everyone is saying , and i believe it is quite right , which has not been achieved even the current 25 % demanded of controls by the port state . it is high time simple commitments , which incidentally some vaticinan a difficult satisfaction . regarding the classification society would emphasise once again on this occasion , and this is also my life - is this : the main focus of the current discussion seems to be focused on liability . with regard to the port control , it is important to move in the do with the legislation and on the efficiency of the inspections . the laxness faced with these large companies shows clearly that are more important than democratic institutions . . ( el ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , a subject which serves the safety of ships and therefore the safety of human and environmental protection , it is extremely serious . the two reports deal with this issue . we back the imposition of a lower limit for personal injuries and death and material losses and with which we give to the member states the opportunity to raise the limit . the introduction of new technologies and improvements in designs that ships are part of this important task . we must make progress towards a consensus at the highest possible level of regulation and safety at sea . i am pleased to assure you that the commission is going to support many of the proposed amendments in their turn . the commission can accept amendments nos 6 , 7 and 8 , but it can only partly accept amendment no 1 . hopefully , the imo engages the timetable phase-in at its meeting in april of next year . the commission 's work is to confirm that the classification society is continuing to fulfil the qualitative criteria of the directive and monitor the work of classification societies . the commission appreciates the endorsement given by the cap which proposed originally . again , this highlights the urgency of the adoption of a boosted , preventive and remedial community measures for the protection of our seas . mr turco , i understand your message , and will consider it . what must be clear from this point is that now already in the hands of the council to make rapid progress . apparently concerning my report has dailies . madam president , i want to make a suggestion that we mend amendment so that begins with the words : ' urges , in this respect , the council and the commission . report ( a5-0329 / 2000 ) by mr pomés ruiz , on behalf of the committee on budgetary control , on the white paper on reforming the commission ( aspects related to the committee on budgetary control ) ( com ( 2000 ) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / 2215 ( cos ) ] mckenna report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) the immunity of capital is reinforced by privatisation of classification societies , which have gone into the hands of boat-owners , for the lack of supervision of substantive 's inspection state authorities , and even the complicity of the french authorities . that is why i am very pleased that the rapporteurs watts , vachetta and mr piétrasanta has tried to reach the rifts that there were still in the commission 's proposal . the responsibility of the implementation of these measures is the case in the member states . the single-hull oil tankers should not be able to navigating here when after 2005 , 2010 or 2015 are no longer elsewhere . however , mr hatzidakis marched proposals which restrict the commission . the promotion of stricter legislation at european level should remain a central element of our policy on safety at sea . it is particularly important to point out that the principle that the polluter must pay is fully in force . this community action is to double by a reactivation of the imo , which , endowed with a real power police to apply the code ism , would be an effective instrument , to image of europol . while the penalties for infrigir rules lower-lying that expenditure on adhere to them , companies who want the maximum profit will opting for the wrong direction . preparation of the nice council instead of promoting upstream human rights and social rights , the charter will facilitate the operations designed to reduce them . unfortunately , i miss the point in the resolutions tabled . although , as many , i regret sometimes that prime minister , lionel jospin , has been said a few occasions during these six months ' as a result of the cohabitation ' , i know the significant impetus which gave continually of his ministers and i should like to point this out . as for the social sphere , the proposals are very timid and even give substance to cash transactions accepted at the lisbon summit , particularly with regard to the need to strengthen the economic and social cohesion . in this respect should not be taking any decisions on the development of the eu to conllevase the risk of alienar for citizens of europe . the british people wanted a reform of the eu to make even greater accountability and efficiency . this text takes the pretext of future ventilated and increasingly distant ) enlargement to calling for the strengthening of a system already exhausted . now , so much is that burns not only between the ' big ' and ' small ' , but also between the ' big " . . ( sv ) we welcome and support a report which deals with many important developments relating to the common security and defence policy . as each year , this report ritual of the european parliament , going to start by annual assessment of the cfsp , details in fact the method acknowledgement of the deslizamientos progressive case that , from a gap in nature federalistic obtained in one area because , in seeking trojans enlargement , detriment both of the treaties and of the decisions of the european councils . charlando like myself , was warned that it is organizing a military force of european states , a power capable of acting to maintain peace in europe and environs . furthermore , it is not up to the european parliament defining what capacity must possess a european rapid reaction force , whether in this connection , for example , must have the power to intervene aviation and shipping . the future conflict will not solve through military intervention . instead , by means of a policy of social justice , economic and ecological . we radically opposed to this european army , together with nato and our own national army . for example , there are points that are going too far for the cfsp and nato , with a view to using the " threat of armed intervention ' as a means of exerting pressure on the activities of conflict prevention , which is in breach of the un charter . a decade after the revolutions which took place in the east , it is a sad message drug ' peace-promoting enterprise european ' dispatches with these reports to the applicant countries . just six of these paragraphs contain statements which are associated with it . unfortunately , covers the clear objective of override national laws on abortion or even penalize or remove the traditions of faith which refer to abortion . if you know , several tens of thousands of women concernidas from the european union is alegrarían for us to consider this provisions of the law of the domestic work which exists in the black economy . it proposes , inter alia , to establish a european definition of domestic work . requirements for workers household should be taken into account when we draft labour law . they have paid the price for their pensions in the various national governments that they have done away with very quickly like some good prestidigitadores . finally , the group union for a europe of nations recalls earnestly request that the citizens of the european union expect more than ever for the reform measures and hiring being followed up with the awareness of the diversity of opinion and convictions who talk in our countries . as regards human resources , the merit of players and greater transparency in terms of personnel policy in general have to proceed with the strengths of the new administrative reform . in connection with this explanation of vote , i should like to reiterate and emphasise that , unfortunately , parliament does not have all the powers that should have . i should like to end on a point of order . indeed , mr barón crespo , reports are contradictory . there is a concern of the socialist group . this is precisely the reason that we consider it difficult : it is an important summit and everything we say we defending them . i must point out that the commission will be meeting tomorrow evening to discuss principally on understood what were the findings of the intergovernmental conference . ( parliament gave its assent to the request ) you would be grateful if atendiera this request . and i condemn that a few days ago , to one of those who did hunger strike in a spirit of solidarity , and murdered in rotterdam a fraction of the grey wolves . obviously it would not have been lacking if in june the council had made a little more than bulbs , or if they were given at least some attention to our first reading and to the amended proposal of the european commission which is already acercaba much of what we wanted . thirdly , we must consider how the rules that we are to be granted will contribute to improving the work of the internal market and if they proportionate regarding the objective that we are pursuing . the second concern , of predominantly legalistic , has taken us , rather , to become even more narrows the interdependence between market harmonisation and health protection and continue smoothly the guidelines set out in the reasons why the court of justice has recently overruled the directive on advertising , reasons which only through an reading instrumental might lead to the conclusion that both aspects are incompatible . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , eighty cases fatal for the new variant of creutzfeldt-jakob disease in europe and the european union , the council of ministers , the commission and parliament decided to ban animal meal and the inflow of animals aged over 30 months in the food chain without trial prerequisites . we believe that it is obvious that articles 95 and 133 represent the legal basis for this directive , as proposed by the committee 's amendment no 1 . according to the court , a total ban on tobacco advertising is not justifiable on behalf of the single market work better . as far as the descriptores , such as ' low tar ' , ' mild ' and ' light ' , there is still being deceptive - and i am therefore against amendments nos 10 and 25 . i also want to talk about requirement in the treaties . the rapporteur , mr maaten , on sensibly proposed strengthening the legal basis by referring to a different article , article 133 concerning the external trade , and it has proposed a number of changes in some of the rules in order to avoid a impugne this directive on the basis of jurisprudence established by the court of justice 's ruling . i am very sorry about that in the committee on legal affairs , there has been stances you consider that , in some way , the court of justice 's ruling on the ban on tobacco advertising void of content this proposed directive . indeed , as a member of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , i have received strong pressure from various groups within the meaning of framing of a harder sales and presentations of tobacco products in europe . however , and this is a whole sarcasm , no evidence of this directive no ban on tobacco growing within the community , despite the fact that in countries like greece tobacco which grown is so strong that , under this directive , its use in the production of tobacco products would be constituent of crime . i also think we need to extend warm thanks to mr byrne for demonstrating as clearly as regards the legal basis . over half a million people die absurdly each year within the european union , and this figure is expected to grow if we are now . in my opinion , this legal basis nor futile and that is why it is right that the union , which business and that our colleagues in this relate to the loss of jobs . i want you to opt for warnings fotográficas , which includes a list of ingredients reasonable , it takes place searches throughout europe , to be taken in health promotion in helping to set aside for young smoking , the european tar , at the nicotine and of addiction . also on the environment committee had readiness to compromise . i am thinking here of energy . the derogation would apply to article 3 , as i understand it , in other words , levels of tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide . in view of the general of the directive we cannot separate some parts of the other , and therefore we must wasting everything . the estampación of a warning to large in some cardboard would be a good solution . finally , the report we have tabled a total of 54 amendments , and i am pleased to say that the commission can accept 33 , either totally or partially . the main argument in favour of these amendments and the development of a report after five years touches on the issue of enlargement of the european union , which , as was said at the nice summit , it is very timely and appropriate . finally , this summertime appears to go hand in hand with a better quality of life , so that the positive effects for the period in which we must outweigh amply problems airliner relating to the actual change . summertime is not the problem of our common house europe . a revised only from the commission five-year suffice . then there are demands for manufacturers of computers or of tachographs offline , or of timetables and agendas . madam president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , we must authorize quickly , unbureaucratic medical research , necessary for patients , but it must be maintained stringently open-door policy ethically motivated , and people subject-matter of tests must be protected máximamente combat abuse . this is an important distinction that we do here in our report . so if there are still some points of disagreement with the council , i would like to point out that the results we want obtain by adopting this directive is the result of a long and fruitful work to commitment from mr liese , our rapporteur , whom i thank and congratulate him on his management participatory and constructive , and by the council , which has been cooperative and open to the amendments approved by the committee on the environment at second reading . i am thinking particularly of research in the fight against cancer , but there are many others . unfortunately , in spite of the measures , new threats are emerging and diseases , and on many occasions medicines available to us are not enough to eradicating them . it is a duty of the medical profession exploring ways updated or more effective against these challenges . the vote will take place tomorrow at 12.30 p.m . what we agreed with the council and by the commission and of course , with the environment committee 's public health and consumer policy of the european parliament , to prevent a second reading and continue to be barrier-free programmes and they will not create empty , was that yes , that we ampliaran in two years four programmes , as requested by the commission , but that money to be annually , so if we had the approval and walked into use the new programme on health , it was necessary expansion of which you use the money for the second year . in a general way , it is high time that the member states should reach agreement on giving the european union , on a subject legitimately supranational , more room for manoeuvre and a right budget : diseases know no frontiers . indeed , international organisations such as europol have stated that the importation of drugs in the union is increasing . public health is part of national policy and must remain so . in accordance with the agenda , is the debate on the report ( a5-0355 / 2000 ) by mrs cerdeira morterero , on behalf of the committee on civil liberties and internal affairs and citizens ' rights , justice and home affairs , on the legislative portuguese with a view to adopting a framework decision on the statute of the victim in a process criminal-law ( 9650 / 2000 - c5-0392 / 00 - 2000 / 0813 ( cns ) ] . other initiative at international level is the un convention on the fundamental principles of justice to the victims of crime and abuses of power , adopted by the resolution 40 / 34 of the general assembly on 29 november 1985 . perhaps you will remember the debate we held a while ago in this house on the so-called di pietro report . this initiative has three main aspects : the right of the victim to information , access to justice and the right to compensation . however , in my opinion , the key element is the fact that finally takes consciences , also in the field of the union , the need to change their position on the state intervention in relation to offences . we should compel the member states to fundaran command of the police to crime victims . italy has called for repeatedly extradition of this murderer multi-pronged in france where lojacono is free , thereby finally accomplishing its worth . victims must be the focus of attention . as you also mentioned , the draft framework decision comprises three different types of action : firstly , it establishes minimum rules concerning the rights of victims and , secondly , lays down specific rules intended to take into account the particular position of those people who are victims of an offence in one member state other than that of their country of origin and , thirdly , invites all states to the development of social victim support . it is working on interconnection european-level of national bodies of victim support in order to ensure adequate attention to the victims , particularly if there are resident in the where the offence was . approval of the minutes of the previous sitting you have the floor again mr varela , president of the committee on fisheries , chiefly responsible . wonderful . the last tuesday , at a trialogue we cast our final retoque to the joint declaration by the council and parliament . in this way , we have reached an agreement on the 2001 budget . we shall have to consider how internally in the area of aid policy we can get all the existing needs will develop into open procedures . questioned your name and told us : " this is the innombrable " . the council has proceeded , then the second reading of the budget in view of the agreements made by parliament 's delegation , with the constant desire to vote on a budget which will enable us to finance all the european union 's priorities and respond to real needs and the capacity of real implementation of appropriations . the third element of this second reading of the council pertains to the agreement reached on the allocations for the programme ' entrepreneurship ' which is continuing and complete the programme ' employment initiative ' for the years 2001 and 2005 . in a more general , i would like to stress that the budgetary procedure that is to conclude in a few days has shown throughout the interest of the interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 . discussions were sometimes contrary , but repeatedly been pertinent and based on exchanges ongoing which have led to understand each other better , and therefore find it easier to an agreement , which i hope will be satisfactory to all . the main thing is that as a result of the democratisation of serbia , no country in the balkans , has now under supported by the planned prior to taking place such developments in serbia . indeed , the use replicated , two years row , the flexibility instrument is more , mistakenly in my opinion , as a form of revision of the financial perspective . haug has to make some changes . we have heard the council say that they are ready to implement an increase of 3.5 % . thank you very much to the commission and the council . mr president , i would also like to thank mrs haug on her excellent work . i suspect that incidentally so sencilla- flexibility is to amounts small- and revision for large businesses , but in the coming years will have to see how it works . we have a situation where we have to decide whether we can agree or not this budget next thursday . of course , we must look very carefully . but interinstitutional agreements between the three institutions are also an important resource which seeks to achieve our having a common security policy planning . the increasing pressure relates mainly to unemployment , the bse crisis and the stability pact in the balkans . . ( fr ) madam president , ladies and gentlemen , i am very happy to be here today to present the results of the french presidency of the union and also to assess the progress made in recent months . we had promised : there is no fleco at nice . coincided with the provision of strengthened cooperation that has been provided widely in the first and third pillars . it is both an immense challenge and indeed a historic stage towards reunification of our continent . thanks to this letter our union is reinforced , safer for the values of dignity , freedom and solidarity to the bases . and a few weeks ago , the freighter ievolu sun , that there were chemicals , we averiaba about islands anglonormandas . we stipulated targets and have been fulfilled . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , these six months , i think i can say today has looked into the union reinforced preparing to accept new members , to convene the family now that we are sure to work together ; stepped up again in the heart of our fellow citizens in the field of human dignity , with the growth of employment , in that of solidarity , that of the security and the preservation of the european social model , strengthened and thereby become more hearing on the international stage . these are among the issues which were submitted to the attention of the heads of state and government , to quote another , a change to , and i sense , have no less important , as in nice has also been raised a very organisation of the summits , the unwieldiness , their complexity and nature travelling , and the european council has taken the wise decision to go celebrándolas all in brussels . however , is deeply worrying that the number of members of parliament will serve to ultimately , as a variable for payment for the balance of the council and to these problems and other related to them that we must devote more attention in the future switching from a defence role into the role of major importance . ( applause ) ( applause ) the ambition that we resulted in nice was a greater european ambition for a meeting at the summit for many years . madam president , mr president-in-office of the republic , mr prodi , ladies and gentlemen , the verdict of my group is constraining for the fifteen post-trade arts little hopeful that have given the europeans , probably estupefactos in checking on this occasion , and in straightforward what actually happens to the common view , with the spirit of solidarity , with mutual trust in the main leaders of europe . in any mind clear-sighted , are anunciadores of very serious consequences for the leading us motion for a federal europe with 27 or 28 member states . please allow me also emphasise , mr president , that following nice , france recurs time again in only loser . madam president , mr president , the group for a europe of democracies and diversities deplores the fact that the presidency has not been dealt al message to you was conveyed in july . many perhaps are not yet harbour to be arribar at some point the european union . hence there are limits to be taken . i think it is not only the opinion of the three groups , but also about other but which have not been able to sign for technical reasons . it is desirable fostering the development of drugs in the community , for then it is possible to offer patients with better opportunities to benefit from treatments are highly effective . i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball on his first report on the european parliament . it has the floor mr fatuzzo , i am curious to know what pensioner said and what . the victim must be treated like a person with a special position of confusion and anguish ... factors that may prove to be much more serious , if the victim of crime becomes one by one member state other than their own . in accordance with the agenda , the next item is the joint debate on : it was distressing to see how we concentraban discussions on the question as to whom he would be given one-vote more or less one-vote , who would be if germany and france , if holland and belgium , if portugal or spain . we are pleased to realizing a new method and we hope that , after this hope , which is based on the possibility of strengthened cooperation , europe should move ahead , which is capable of producing , for the future , a constitution which will restore public confidence , within this formidable project which is the european enterprise . the aspiring members who are preparing for enlargement , will follow the example of egoism of our own member states . some are more positive than others , but the main message is clear : europe can now reassembled in an enlarged eu democratic and which , moreover , is close to its citizens by the treaty of nice . we have had a vested interest . to reach agreement on the extremis on the treaty , we have prevented a overt crisis which would have challenged enlargement but we can talk of a crisis brooding with which we must now face . i do not think it is more realistic fighting for reassert its own national prestige to fight for the effectiveness of the operation of the union and do not believe that european citizens were involved in masse to continue the battle naval of their leaders in nice . and yet the great project , eleven years after the berlin wall fell ! at that time was true for half of europe and we must now do so for all of it . post-nice is no longer be possible to invoke the obstacle institutionally . firstly , the institutional imbalance , the council substantially , the commission and parliament shortly . this method is dead . the consequences for europe would have been absolutely incalculable . for example , you know that at the beginning of the european union , the blocking minority could gain with what we call two countries ' grandees ' , and now there are no 3 . situ is subscriber , enlargement is possible , the european parliament has its own place in the debate , in the deepening of the tracks and ideas . the public good european , for which no one is repository - the moscovici is right on this point , it cannot rely on the combination of national interests that we criss-crossing and we neutralizan and in this regard , the prime minister verhofstadt has launched a message salvador . we commend them to be ratified . i personally believe that the re-weighting of votes must take account of the population , which is what the european parliament and we should have done so in the council . but nice , mr president , it is not the end of the way , but the beginnings of a new phase with many challenges . i would therefore like to come back to what has already been said here today occasionally . but because it seems that we have succeeded in preventing paralysis of the total expanding european union and the wishes of the french presidency could not be reflected in the new draft treaty . mr president , i , too , nice is , frankly , a insufficient . i do not know whether the commission will respond to the end of this debate , but i wonder , given the absence of the council , if you have the same confident that in 2004 the european parliament will have members czechs , hungarians and poles and in the baltic countries . we have not shut up the need to move forward with equal vigour and the same determination as we had before nice down the road to enlargement towards the objectives which we still is the most important rendezvous with history that parliament and the commission must comply with the coming years . moreover , and above all , the problem of funding for the balkans remains unresolved for the coming years . i would like to congratulate the rapporteurs , the president of the committee on budgets , on the commission , the council and the presidency for their work , for the conclusion of this agreement will enable us to vote on the budget for 2001 . it is good to be made available to smes , as a major creators of jobs , additional funds . doing so we are creating new jobs will continue to fight against unemployment . in football terms , it is like a dead heat to one . not because we have a budget and we have reached agreement in the conciliation we imagine that all our problems wiped out . this disregarded the we gain no air , but of the treaties , even though the council to come to agree . this must be accompanied by a commitment from the college of commissioners for a fair distribution and capable of human and material resources to the management of structural policies , in other words , they must be paid the political importance of parliament and the priority of discharge . this is why the task of the common european level is precisely that of boosting preservation and regeneration of the environment . we have heard a lot of phase post-nice . of course , is right to refer constantly to this question . there is no longer mention of the fear of military violence , nor any possible preview of the dictatorship . if we look carefully , is that russia is something to morocco in the budget , and i believe this is not appropriate . if europeans were to be up logísticamente russia 's spending will be very dangerous situation . here , a tacis programme can only act in a way severely limited not to say that relies on a drop of water in the ocean . declined the birth rate and heightens the mortality rate , and the net reduction of people is the order of one million people a year . the very putin , and we would do so worse than it seems that the issue of the future status of chechnya is not the main point . what happens in russia , with the population , with the bureau , i do not care . mr president , the european union has adopted in the past few years various documents relating to russia that as a good basis for a close ties with the russian federation . moreover , what means freedom for the chechen people ? this is a first step , then we will try to get laws be respected ; this would be putting the cart . in addition , the economic development will provide greater stability , and fourthly , as a result of this , there will be traits of civil society . but it is an excellent report which , as the actual common strategy , underlines the importance we attach to the relationship estratégica- - cooperation between the eu and russia . that means concentrate our efforts in key areas such as the environment - which has been raised by several of you and nuclear safety , within the european kaliningrad region and in terms of improving coordination between the various sources of funding . we must avoid repeating the mistakes as one of you mentioned earlier , and that was made at the beginning of this century , when , after revolution leninista of 1917 , russia was totally excluded from the european issues with disastrous consequences . . ( fr ) as you know , the council has adopted a common position on the revision of directive 90 / 220 / eec . i therefore believe that in that direction lagging answered the questions raised . so i am ready to propose to hold this debate , quite simply , we must choose the most appropriate framework . . ( fr ) i have no information sufficiently precise to respond to your supplementary question . you cannot say that there is no precise information about this . . ( fr ) the council would remind the honourable member what conclusions we took at its meeting of 19 may 1998 concerning fraud in the fields of alcohol and tobacco . each member state has confirmed its commitment to support the fight against fraud , both within its borders and in the context of rapport . the european union has stated on several occasions , the absolute respect it deserves the right of asylum . in this respect , the association agreement signed in acp-comunidad european cotonou in june 2000 establishes that the community will guarantee , by 2005 , access to franchise of rights for the essence of the products originating in less-developed countries . i would remind you that the presidency is not there to express the views of fulano or mengano , from this or that government but of indicate which are , at a time ' x " , a moment " t " , the council 's position . we will establish a system of compra-destrucción of these bovines not covered by the end of compensating farmers in the market price . the french presidency has wanted , from the outset that we obtain a european answer to this crisis , which is a food crisis , a social crisis and a health crisis . . ( fr ) the barcelona process , algeria has supported a number of principles , including respecting the rule of law . . ( fr ) i have already had occasion , some weeks ago , to give you a few thoughts on the preparation of the assembly special session of the un general devoted to the monitoring of the world summit on children to be held in september 2001 . subject : liabilities of turkey in the association agreements eu-turkey the commission 's proposal concerning the association agreement between the european union and turkey asks the european council to re-examine the situation regarding differences be resolved , particularly with regard to the effect on procedures for accession , in order to help ensure that the international criminal tribunal pm to settle before the end of 2004 . in that part of the partnership which you have mentioned , is going to discuss this issue the council and the turkish government ? do we respecter properly the rights of defence and will contribute to a certain extent the mutual recognition ? moreover , every member state to decide . national sovereign , of committing or not troop nation in the operation . subject : importance of tax for the internal market in an article published in the financial times in november , the president of the commission says that there will not be a tax harmonisation or be set common standards of tax in the eu because the tax levels are a matter of national parliaments and should remain so . questions nos 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 and 32 will be replied to in writing . the stabilisation and association agreement republic of croatia / teu is a timely . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , firstly i would like to congratulate mr baltas on his report , particularly because it rapid report because it was important and right to react quickly to the developments in croatia , which has already mentioned mrs stenzel . the results in this area are really positive . in 1991 / 92 were expelled 250 000 croatians in the kraina , at the slavonia eastern and western . this has certainly been a historic year for south-eastern europe . i think it is not a good record for one year . this is important for us , and i hope that we can count on parliament 's support when we come back to negotiate with their colleagues officially , once we have negotiated an agreement . the reaction to the government wahid is strong and the process is stagnating . in addition , the leaders of papua are still in prison . finally , in our resolution calls on the european commission to continue this development policy . that would justify the terms of the commission communication to the beginning of year , even if he were characterised by a certain euphoria outworking of those changes . fairness that they do and the refugee camps that we eternizan are fora for falling-out between the old and the new powers indonesians , keeping insight into the fragility of the democratisation process . the most upsetting thing is that in the moluccas , the warriors of jihad can act as it pleases in an unacceptable manner . irian jaya too is casualty of migration . and , consequently , we must be able to choose priorities , we cannot compounding at the same level environmental issues , issues of social policies , issues of economic policies with the fundamental problem of respect for democracy and human rights , which must be clearly a priority for political relations with indonesia . this resolution states categorically that irian jaya forms part of indonesia . the situation has improved and must be encouraged to president wahid and we still have problems horrendous . it is clearly not acceptable for tens of thousands of refugees in east timor will remain hostages abandoned to bandits armed that , on behalf of the patriotism indonesian . they are trying to escape the punishment for their criminal past . it is on the basis of size , the fourth world country in population . it is for their klondike economic ; it is for its part regionally , but it is because of its environmental impact . so we need to relate the resources and instruments policing , administrative and judicial centre-piece of the member states and with the eu . ( the president cut the speaker off ) mrs schreyer , you said here in parliament on various occasions that , as commissioner responsible for fighting fraud , sees its task in particular to ensure the independence of olaf . it is just the creation of a financial management at community level the author of the problems because models of re-drawing of taxpayers ' money community set by the so-called ' community ' are badly drawn up and in many cases are wholly undesirable . i would like to congratulate the rapporteur -alguien whom i have admired as separate and as a political nature - on this report , but unfortunately i cannot do so . the report is about protecting the community 's financial interests and on how to tackle them and the issues are of paramount importance . because of the time limit shall be brief in the exposition of the individual points . the debate is closed . we have an eu legislation to protect firms in the mismanagement and now the commission has promised to introduce its own regulations to ensure that there should be delayed payments . we have other mechanisms to emphasize instances of fraud advised not before . you , mrs schreyer , mentioned just now by the council by saying that there was a member state which is opposed to the creation of a european public prosecutor . we therefore believe that it is understandable that parliament will of the court of auditors so it expected from these reports . both the commission and the member states should be exempt from its own responsibility , certainly not by the referral reciprocated by the accountability of the other . he told honestly and lamentó that happen . it was a step helpful for the matter and i believe that it has also been very conscious though included in its deliberations on the commission and the court of auditors prior to the creation of this report . you can see in my speech that i consider it reasonable to continue to discuss these proposals to consider how we can establish greater responsibilities . the initial judgement decisive is the lack of coordination . i therefore believe that we must also improve article 4 . within the single market investors , be they private enterprise , or the financial pensiones- should be able to exercise the rights of ownership on behalf of operators in reaction to invest and investor in them . we cannot close our eyes to reality , when there is a acquisition of actions are produced restructuring of template , sackings ... however , what we are in danger of doing this parliament as a result of the amendments tabled ? that is the principle on which perhaps we we divide morning : the important principle of a legal designed to regulate takeover bids . instead it would be easier to solve the problem of defining the competences of the supervisory authorities . the rapporteur 's amendments confusion in the field of disputes and cannot be right that we vote in favour of the turmoil in possible cases of dispute . one point that i want to make on this directive on takeover bids is to recapitulate very strongly that million voters in my country and millions of people have occupational pension schemes and economise based on investment in a stock market . this procedure which already exists in some member states , is concerned , however , not just a matter of takeover bids . instead , it is more could possibly be analysed within the framework of overhaul adopted by the committee on company law . finally , i can recall that it is a framework directive cf. the wish expressed by parliament at an earlier stage . resale rights purports to recognize the rights indispensable and intransferibles of creative artists to note a proportion of total sales further of their works . firstly , the lobistas britons fear the loss of jobs . consequently , the compromise adopted by the council is only a weak illustration of the commission 's initial proposal , broadly supported by parliament at first reading . i also hope the commission 's support , at least as one of the three main points of dispute . it is also a question of a vitality and the competitiveness of the european market arts . alternatively , rule would have been sold assuredly elsewhere , namely with america . however , this amendment is acceptable only partially . competence in postal services it is my suggestion , mr savary . firstly , we must ensure that the price of postal services are favourable . secondly , we must try to ensure a high level of quality and , thirdly , we have to be able to guarantee a high availability of postal services in all areas of the european union . the committee on legal affairs was more stringent in relation to threshold prices within the reserved services by provider universal , but that does in its proposal on the weight limit of 150 grammes , common rejection of the 50 resident in the draft directive . finally , we cannot accept a new deadline for liberalisation in until there is a prior assessment . we know very well the difficulties involved in this case as ideologically charged - sometimes on both sides . therefore , although this measure can find a applauded by certain members of this house , its consequences would be devastating for postal services throughout the european union . it will also closures of small shopkeepers who provide postal services in rural areas , because they depend on postal services for their survival . in following our pace , medical 100 years to achieve an open market for postal services in europe . madam president , i would like to make three points . in our deliberations on this new directive should be clear one particular issue . it is not the case and must be the case . if there is a fair competition , the monopolistic can demonstrate that they know their driving . however , if the grandmother is looking forward to receiving the visit of a postman mellow , which also forms part of some postal services high-quality , we must not regret it , it should also welcomed . anyone who goes so badly prepared to negotiations , whom i presented the report requested on the impact recorded since 1997 , who would argue with insights ideological perhaps objectives which you mentioned may only be achieved if liberalizamos , liberalizamos and liberalizamos- , there must be provided there are a tropezón and falls on its face . mr bolkestein , the commission is the guardian of the treaties . bolkestein - we also releases cross-border mail . it is as if calculáramos the average income between the rich and the extremely poor ; the result would be aritméticamente satisfactory , but it could be considered socially illogical for , as a result , obviously , for the existence of the very poor . a new era mr simpson . the governments that they did not have been socialists but conservative and liberals . since there was a proposal , as i see it became clear that the proposal never be acceptable in the form that it was the commission . because of this beginning and that liberalization as we all agree , but that rates are high . the purpose of the first directive has not been made public as the consequences are obvious : losing jobs and decline in working conditions , divergence in workings of the public service throughout the territory , mainly in rural areas and in working-class areas . the commission 's proposal provides for a progressive opening , what i believe it will improve services which are safe for consumers to priced inferior . it is a basic requirement for the development of the sector of direct mail . i call express to the british conservatives . let me say this to alleanza nazionale post : if this happens , it will prove an valuable respite . we can only hope that one day be able surmounting those situations consumadas and break down the corporatism egotistical to make progress to europe dearly . they only liberalised the 3 % of the markets in charters . we will see repressed by technology or ignored by the consumer who will not receive a service for their money . only the introduction of real competition in a controlled way and progressive , via a fixed timetable , will help to achieve this objective . regarding amendments nos 60 and 61 , i agree with the principle of completing the internal market into a future date to be laid down in the foreseeable future . the commission will produce the same opinion as a result , the council will be on the commission proposal as appropriate . however , parliament should now speak out . my second report is therefore much to the first and incorporates the amendments voted by parliament . it is true , commissioner , we have some reservations , and some differences . mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would firstly like to congratulate the rapporteur , mr dary , so clearly stated that we did hear the reform , its history and its summary - which i shall repetir- . it is a crop which exists in a number of special regions concerned , the outermost regions , which are a number of difficult to compete on the market and that any of the few products that have is that it bananas . in fact , it is a restriction of chaos , because it seeks to establish conditions which we must all regirnos . it is no exaggeration to say that this issue is one of which have caused more closely with all the institutions . we must continue without complexes of these producers the means to live buying to prioritise its production . mr president , we must express our thanks and appreciation to the rapporteur for his handling of this difficult report . i also thank the presidents of parliament who have endorsed the persistent defence and stubborn desire of the member ultraperiféricos so that this proposal for reform of the banana sector should be dealt with this house , we will be able to give an opinion mandated . you end up time with the council meeting of ministers for agriculture to be held in the coming days and accede in 2001 with a new reform of the market in bananas . in this debate has been a lot of the apparent agreement in the committee on agriculture and rural development in supporting the report by mr dary . ladies and gentlemen , i am honoured to inform you of the presence in the official gallery a delegation from parliament 's korea . this secured a positive decision in favour of media in the council . report ( a5-0377 / 2000 ) by mr trakatellis , on behalf of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy , on the motion for a resolution from the european parliament and council [ com ( 2000 ) 448 - c5-0400 / 2000 - 2000 / 0192 ( cod ) ) on the prolongation of specific programmes for community action on public health , embraced by the decisions taken no 645 / 96 / ec , no 646 / 96 / ec , no 647 / 96 / ec , 102 / 97 / ec , no 1400 / 97 / ec and no 1296 / 1999 / ec and on which we modify those decisions mr president , i should just like to take this opportunity to point out , in relation to the statements made by the commissioner at 12.15 a.m. to yesterday evening , that amendment no 1 commits the commission . i was glad to hear mr . ( parliament adopted the resolution ) amendment no 2 : parliament was obliged to make more retable most of them , and those that apply the size of the warnings , the mention of ingredients , consumer protection , and especially for young people . is he , to some members , two categories of people , one which is protected and one which we jeopardises for economic reasons ? . i am particularly keen to explain why i voted against the export ban for the eu tobacco products with more than a certain level of tar , nicotine and why i supported the amendments which seek to lift the ban . madam president , i would welcome the proposal are to use pictures to illustrate the damage that smoking does to health , as they do in canada . i think this is a good thing but will - and i am speaking on this occasion , we spent a great deal more to avoid disease . i would have preferred to have this proposal was being raised within the rules of procedure more consistent with the activities aimed at our citizens across the european union . zimmerling asestarán a fatal blow to the liveliness of the art market european with the loss of jobs and , i fear , that will be very few living artists who benefit from this resale rights . . ( nl ) i would like to thank mr zimmerling for his work on this difficult dossier . that is why i am obliged to vote against this directive . and the stabilisation and association agreement , the cards programme and the european investment bank cannot be the main instruments of the european union contribution to economic and social development of croatia . the government and the indonesian army are required to ensure life and public safety , irrespective of creed that profess . therefore we have created as soon as possible the necessary instruments for combating more effectively fraud involving eu funds . the measure would make the eu into a single legal scope for research purposes , initiating judicial inquiry and implement the judgments relating to this type of crime . often seem to lose sight of this aspect . amendments nos 11 and 13 aim at which the quota system cannot be checked but for another 10 years , without which we will now no commitment to the adoption of the system of tariff only proposed by the commission and demanded by several our trading partners . with regard to the recital on the preference for acp countries , we also agree with the sum of eur 300 per tonne - but we do not think we need the add-on " at best " . furthermore , the scope for our trading partners to accept an extension so long-range would be virtually zero . in accordance with the agenda , proceed to the commission statement on the european union / united states of america . i recognise that it is easier said than done , but we should try to resist the temptation - and i know that the secretary of state albright shares this view - that the summits being too envueltas at the heart of our political and economic relations on a daily basis . one of the main lessons was that we europeans should endure increased the fostering of european security . i should like to examine in detail here in the communication scheduled for this year and also ofreciese as well as the analysis he asked for the other side of the house , motions relating to all the aspects on which we have chances of achieving new goals in the future within the framework for dialogue and cooperation , in the field of foreign policy and of security policy , but also about issues pragmatic , they could be the mutual recognition agreements . i am also aware of the world " everything but arms " , which i welcome , and i would urge the commission to use the time of the summit for urging us to return to endorse this initiative . we must therefore act to prevent the irreversible which looks at the audits and those who , like mumia abu-jamal or leonard pelletier , are at their death row over many years . this is an idea workable , without doubt the will . thank you , commissioner . i am afraid that i am now finds under crossfire of my own group . thirdly , it should acudirse to formulas simple for the collection of taxes and , in particular , on how to reversal of the passive subjects . the first conclusion is that very little can be done unless we change the international framework . . mr president , the first point i want to make the commission to which i represent is that the existing conditions are unfavourable to suppliers in the eu on the following services : software , data processing and computer services , web hosting [ practice : that we host the websites of third parties ] , make-up of websites and information . i had always heard that one of the first rule or principle of a legislative body should be not to enact laws which cannot be met . i am pleased that in the report , partly thanks to the environment committee , includes a series of important elements that have a insufficient support due to a great number of conditions in the committee on transport . however , to change the rules which apply in matters of international , we will have to argue for a review of the convention on chicago in 1994 . the position advantageous to be achieved in the short term one-country the obtains at the expense of other or any other eu states . mr president , europe will be pioneer in the use of the internet at the next decade . some people wonder , commissioner , for which the european wherever we are so quick to set taxes and establish new rules . the convention on chicago is out-of-date here . i do not consider the introduction of a common vat system is a priority and i do not agree with that inclusion of a common system is long overdue . we should continue , thereby desbrozar and simplify our tax systems and not increased , but slash , taxes . the preferred option in much is to zero rate for the e-empresas europe , in view of situarlas on an equal footing with the american industry and from elsewhere . tax competition is in the interests of citizens and the economy . thus , for operators from outside the union will be subject to the same obligations fiscales operators to household when they may service to consumers , will have to be registered in terms of vat in one member state of their choice , and the rates of value-added tax for the rule chosen the applied to the business . it is true that the situation is not , however , that simple . the location where it must be applied excise duty is of concern and i believe that the discussions about the number of countries which would the conditions under which companies can be registered in them will be a difficult issue and she is unleashes a complaint from the united states before the wto . it is totally absurd that i can travelling from london to brussels strasbourg and back on barely 89 pounds in virgin airways , for example , whereas when i use eurostar , which produces a great deal less greenhouse gases and offers a way to go much easier , should pay the equivalent of a £ 250 on a trip spam . mr president , this debate shows how resurgen old demons . finally , we have talked about proposals that he had been able to the french presidency so that the tax should be in place of abstraction , with an obligation to borrowers of being observed in every member state . the measure would place in disadvantage to the european airlines in relation to those of third countries and distorsionaría structures charging intracommunity referring to the intercontinentales . however , it seems to me that only in the oecd , rather than by individual negotiations punctual , will be possible to find a solution which does not provoked a way out of capitals of europe . i am aware that some members are consumed by different opinions . in this avoids the complexity offshoot of the implementation of macro-economic criteria or similar measures . let me deal with now the proposal concerning the minimum level of the normal rate . a consequence secondary is that it has not made any preparatory work for importance within the working groups of icao and seems unlikely that during the forthcoming general assembly has decided renegotiate the chicago convention . this feeling , unfortunately , still lives on in the minds of the peoples of europe . my last point of this directive is to strengthen the management of the emergencies at sea , through the obligation to designate ports of refuge , the ban on departure the sea for strong storm and an increased powers to intervene at sea by the coastal state in the event of serious risk of contamination . the oil companies tell us that they have created a voluntary fund . i hope that after the impulse of nice , we have reduced the doubts and the resistance of some countries and to achieve this . we hope , of course , the political guaranteeing safety at sea , because it must be aware that this is not a week without being interpelados on this question : " what are you doing , meps , to guarantee security , to change the rules ? . mr president , the commission is aware that one of the measures announced by the uk government on 8 november 2000 is the introduction of a kind of levy on the road users on a par with the viñeta who pay all the road haulage , british and not britons alike , to use the road networks of the united kingdom . secondly , if , in accordance with the original intention of the minister , it proposes to taxing of belgium to funding for carriers of his country , is that contrary to community law ? this imbalance of an economic nature of the taxes and levies carrying lorry drivers in different member states distorts the conditions under which carriers of different nationalities compete with the united kingdom . on the issue of animal meal : its export is covered by the same legislation regulating the production of bone meal and bone meal in the european union , too , is subject to the obligation to remove some of meat-and-bone meal , for example , the leftovers from sick animals , legislation which comes into force on 1 march 2001 . jews are traitors and unfair . i am hopeful that everywhere in the region uncover that services of teaching promote tolerance and not intolerance . the response from mr monti is not unexpected . question no 37 by ( h-0900 / 00 ) : furthermore , the commission will propose simultaneously a subsidy mechanism for short-term help , specifically designed to counter their unfair practices at the time needed to the conclusion of the wto procedure . this is an issue dramatic . the industry user of coque deploys in total for 70 , 000 people , but this product represents no more than a very small bearing on their costs , around 2 % . question no 40 by ( h-0889 / 00 ) : we have given our proposal for the acp virtually the same time as to our member states . this initiative is not with a view to regulate this , i must reassure him , in addition the extra money which could importarse within the community market are low . these countries are not , unfortunately , given the situation , no power to negotiate autonomous and therefore it is a gesture which i believe we must do unilaterally , without replacing . the commission 's procedure for granting subsidies will be completed within a short time , and this will affect the resources it needs ecpat for 2001 . - we are still three types of activity in this area . in the commission 's proposal is not a question on the geographic location of the future tribunal . . i am not sure what you meant by ' spread ' . . ( nl ) the question by mr berenguer fuster relates to the trade names . i take as an incentive to renew our action and try to make that spain as soon as it should be done . on the previous question answered that is the fault of spain and you will do what they do ; here , but it is the fault of yours . it has been a good explanation to the answer which i had been made in advance . the directive 89 / 48 / eec concerns titles of vocational training with a minimum of three years after secondary education . subject : transport services waterborne as close gulf of bothnia between vaasa ( finland ) and umeå ( sweden ) sea transport from the close of the gulf of bothnia will cease to operate as it is no longer cost-effective from which to shipping companies have been deprived of the powers to the duty-free . for example , in the city of vaasa to which i referred , have been lost over the last two years 550 jobs in the field of tourism , probably under the same cessation of tax-free sales . this proposal is the purpose of the lisbon summit , because it seeks to encourage the development and use of digital applications . i call upon the commission to develop procedures to call for proposals more effective and rapid . although only factored in the content stead for businesses , particularly the weather and geography - that is very hoped - and this should not be forgotten that , in terms of content assigned to the citizens , this is a much more complex than the useful information for companies . digital applications , which represent over quantity to quality , homogenizan and condensan differing social . the second point , as essential as the antedates my view , is that we take account of small and medium-sized enterprises , enterprises in the process of launch . however , if we make a virtue of need , if we invest the perspective , we see our languages not as barriers , but as bridges , as an advantage , and as such using them , they can be the basis of the european market and some independence . i shall not dwell on the objectives of this programme : favourable conditions for marketing ; but make use of digital applications , in order to promote economic activity , widening employability and promote the use of the potential for digital applications européens compared to and from the united states . it is therefore becoming increasingly important to have the right conditions for the production of digital content multilingual europe . some of which are themselves certainly extremely valuable , but they will be better placed to other instruments that in today 's decision . the vote will not provide this afternoon , and if the largest group in this parliament believes that we should not be voting , i think it is right that it will present tomorrow , when it comes to voting and by parliament in full instead of today , and this is hurried . . ( nl ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , in europe there is more and more people who suffer disrupted by noise . the member states are free to decide when begins late last night and when the time that i continues . i am glad , therefore , on the commission proposal , although we see it as a first step excessively cautious . consequently , reduction and prevention ambient noise must feature in the future a fundamental aspect of european environmental policy . the confederal group of the european united left / nordic green left have paid their support gladly , although we would have liked to have come a little further on tackling conclusive and in the way to treat those who make money out nuisance caused by noise . nevertheless , let me say something about the dimes and diretes and on the fight behind the scenes within the commission and around them , in recent times . today , my friends . consequently , it unsaid that my country will have an enormous difficulty in accepting the commission 's proposal , unless it includes a mechanism to be flexible enough to allow the way of life inherited from our forefathers . on the other hand , so appreciated both on the very spaniards and by our visitors foreigners , can be maintained . however , i should like to recommend the house the report and , of course , the commission 's proposal . secondly , is the daughter directives relating to quality standards . i would like to support the need to harmonise noise indicators and assessment methods , the whole area of maps of noise , drawing up action plans to reduce noise and protect areas quiet as appropriate and extend the scope of the public information . secondly , this proposal uses a fresh approach to make an assessment of the general situation of noise in europe , in terms of the number of people who are affected by noise . they are acceptable , in principle or in part amendments nos nos 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 , 17 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 39 , 42 , 44 and 45 . furthermore , in general , additives cannot be used for the unprocessed products - what is happening here - in other words , we have not been subject to any treatment he has altered substantially its state 's budget . mr president , on the environment committee voted , along with the ppe group for the report by mr lannoye , which , moreover , coincides with aspirations . nobody is that . in accordance with the agenda , is the debate on the report ( a5-372 / 2000 ) by mr staes , on behalf of the european parliament delegation in the conciliation committee on the joint text , approved by the conciliation committee , of the directive on the european parliament and council to amend the directive 95 / 53 / ec of the council for establishing the principles concerning the organisation of official controls in the area of animal nutrition ( c5-0499 / 2000 - 1998 / 0301 ( cod ) ] . in the french presidency i had a clear signal , a message selfevident . one message i wrote : ' will remain " . after lengthy negotiations within the conciliation committee has finally been reached an acceptable compromise - a guarantee that safeguard measures taken by the commission will remain in force until they are replaced by another decision , and the member states ' commitment to provide any assistance to the commission officials who carry out on-the-spot checks . i welcome this legislation . the eu structural funds , particularly your esf as well as the financial interests of the exchequer , must always be aimed at developing in less-favoured areas and poorest in society . the cities of europe are important bastions economic , political and socio-cultural . additional tools are laws clear and rigorous controls . the commission also appreciates the substantial support she has provided you with the european parliament on this proposal , as well as the many of useful amendments which have been tabled . given the nature of economic activity , the commission can accept amendments nos 10 and 23 . i say infamous because this is an issue which is highly topical , and agree that there is a day , which the precautionary principle is not here for holders of the press , with or without good reason , with or without good reason , but mostly so wrong . the maximalist seek to block the innovation and progress , while the minimalist advise against recourse to the precautionary principle except in cases of distress meaningfully on health and the environment , namely when rebase a threshold below which must be defined , but without being knows very well how ! the clarification of the various tasks to perform everybody is a prerequisite to restore the necessary public confidence in the scientific community , as well as on those responsible for the decisions we as politicians . under these circumstances we would see a safety margin , for prudence . we have also called for measures within the world trade organisation , perhaps a regulation , which guarantee the possibility of referring to other commitments in the context of the world , such as those we have achieved in the multilateral agreements on the environment , to extend the scope of the precautionary principle . obviously , it is also important increase the legal weight of the precautionary principle , by making this a regulation of international law . the art of life is to entitlement and deal with these risks and uncertainties of cautiously . as soon uses them too . in that it trivializa , that we use less and provokes outrage . we have , for example , phthalates in toys . we have the strange idea of introducing playthings over the sweets , ice cream and other products edible . likewise , with the aim of the commission to undertake a thorough risk assessment study beforehand . the resolution calls upon the commission to take the guidelines adopted and incorporates the precautionary principle whenever necessary in preparing its legislative proposals and all its actions . you cannot provide a minimum of risk thumb . by giving the first time sakharov prize to defenders of human rights which they participate actively in the union , the european parliament confirmed solemnity which any violation of human rights must be combated ruthless . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , first and foremost a move citizen-oriented " ¡ basta ya ! ' wish to thank parliament for the honourable acknowledging that we bestow . and this is not just about murders . i urge you to do what i have suggested and to rely on me . ( parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) madam president , if this house will allow me to make a brief vocal in amendment no 51 submitted by me . report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) by mr garcía-margallo y marfil , on behalf of the committee on economic and monetary affairs , on the commission communication on the council , the european parliament , the economic and social committee and the committee on the regions on the question of fuel aviation [ com ( 2000 ) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ] this agreement will benefit ones , but it is environmentally unfriendly and democracy . the most important event taking place in our budgetary debates precede is clearly the crisis cry of mad cow disease . this will clearly against the letter and spirit of the agreements already mentioned by the heads of state and government on the subject of the locations . parliament has achieved some consolidate priorities lie and others , serious efforts to combat unemployment and poverty , a range of issues relating to the environment and equal opportunities between men and women . we voted against the attacks on the right discontinue the life and against european women 's lobby . ' the importance of the grant for kosovo does , however , to begin legitimate questions about the ability full-blooded takeover of the area of yugoslavia of eur 350 million which had initially been planned allocate in 2001 . there is no reason to give fiscal incentives to a certain form of distribution . the fixing of a end-date would be a clear information for the various players in the postal market and national monopolies would be prepared better toward liberalization . can we wiping out with a common decision , supported and perhaps by a narrow majority , a whole concept of the postal service , philosophy which has its roots and your comments on the particularities of individual member states ? the limits proposed by the committee on 50 grs. with a charge of up to two and a half times the fare official are much too graphic and would have devastating effects on the providers of universal services . hence our unequivocal and stonewalling of most of the purposes for which they seeks . - ( sv ) we consider that the postal services are not a matter which should be treated in the eu , although the proposal , after this discussion in the commission , has been greatly improved in relation to the commission 's original . dary report ( a5-0374 / 2000 ) however , there needs to be protected from the consequences of this war of small producers who work in their plantation ordnance anyone , and their income irrespective market changes . according to article 10 freedom of opinion contains a range of duties and responsibilities which may give rise to provisos , restrictions and sanctions . we can only welcome this initiative of when we know that the value of digital applications europeans is 5 % in terms of european gdp and 4 billion in terms of employment . under these conditions , are particularly its coherence and its oneness what you have an assurance from the united states a pre-eminence in this market with a future . i hope that we slipping , in 2004 , in this division of responsibility by applying the principle of subsidiarity and the regions and the autonomous communities are to have their status within the union . we can only welcome this . for example in the trade negotiations already mentioned , the national parliaments are to be deprived of their stragglers rights for ratification , and one country , if it is lesser used in the council , can no longer say " no " where a negotiating infringe ' interests . we have seen on several occasions about the dangers of such a thing and the overhang from nice also shows abundantly clear that an agenda considerably broader could have resulted in which there had not reached a successful outcome for years by catastrophic for enlargement . . i given the importance of the decisions that were to be taken at the nice summit , we must give credit where they exist . in other words , what it wants the european parliament is grip on taxation and the social security matters . the council agreements negotiated throughout long hours middle-of-the-night do not offer no support insurer . posing serious shortcomings concerning issues such as transparency , furtherance of identity , more democracy , citizen participation or cognizance reforms . therefore , we should maintain its conclusions as a result of a compromise for which he has not been entirely winner of conquered . however , lessens the influence of national democracies by restricting the right of veto and to become more power for the european parliament . so we must vote in favour of this proposal as it continues to limiting the imposition of aircraft , because in this way a plane ticket will cost us less and less and so we can go further with this form of transport . " " no passes below the balcones of houses , you may fall a tiesto side . the complexity and diversity of technological change and the processes of transformation urgently require structural transposition of all local and regional partners in the regional associations for development , feature in designs strategic on regional policy for each region . let us therefore try to avoid anything that might strangle or diminish these three important prerequisites . i could say that innovation is accessible to all players who are around the production process . the gap between the more developed regions technologically and the less is more serious than that of their gdp respective . as you know , the main point of paper-pushers is in danger of making mistakes . i do not know if it was a direct result of the world risi three ladies who signed the european budget , but i should also be pleased if this christmas present we are voting qualify in future to women . it is also a mistake to allow the budget as something like this which has been given to pilot schemes , with new ideas with regard to local development and urban areas - with something more than aceptables- who were present at the heart of community programmes such ladies at local , are urban and interreg . rack , i have never understood and not comprenderé ever that regional policy , and that cohesion policy as a kind of charity which is going on poorer regions . that is the reason why , when i am in the negotiations , at present , the docup , rather than dealing with innovative actions , as regards the mainstream , i am very interested in which each of the programming documents commands a plan multi-region of access to the information society and verifico the standard , beyond the scope of this regional programme , especially as regards directly to small and medium-sized enterprises , schools and even farms . the commission 's response to mr howitt 's question . the price of boat building new have fallen dramatically in recent years to get in 1999 , under the structural surcoreana , at the lowest . the commission had to make a vote was to make this point was today on the agenda of the debates . furthermore , this idea is in accordance with the treaty . i do not have time to discuss this in more detail . however , the commission 's proposal , which includes a aid for research and development , denunciation of what is happening in north korea to the world trade organization , which battling with price even below the coste- , and the possibility that there is aid measures transitionary until a solution to the resource does seem , perhaps , a way out fairly weak , but at least a way out . at the same time it helps increase pressure on korea , by taking action antidumping , if possible within the framework of the oecd . in other words , we are aguantando unemployment and the other gentlemen are those who really do business with dockyards . i think it makes a radiografía excellent wither shipbuilding in europe , a radiografía real . this process does not happen quick results and , in the event of reaching its final conclusion , will lead to two years . this arrangement would apply until there is the decision on the practice of the world . i am sure we are all united in arguing with vigour and with fortitude freedom in europe , however , i would like to say that , rather than the solidarity of my colleagues in the european parliament , in spain we give his commitment . sailed around waters of sicily , back in the month of may , his heart displayed worrying sign of deterioration . it alarming that would , in this light , not actuáramos as soon as possible . in both expresses the need for both member states concerned : the united kingdom and spain , cooperates closely in order to find a solution safer for restoring the submarine whilst still - naturally - in the public promptly informed . we have heard assertions of draftsperson of the armada british saying that the break-down was not important , and others who have said on the contrary , it was a major and that was needed to reparations long and difficult . i know that the house understands that she had been here for having been possible , correspondiéndome to me an answer instead . the commission is studying this plan . there is already some ; so let us be realistic about the options available to the authorities in the uk and in gibraltar who refer the matter . cooperation calmada is a method that deploys our union . the british government is behaving as was recently the russian government during a break-down which took place in the member submarines . mr president , i too would like to express my deepest sympathy to our spanish colleagues in the final massacre terror perpetrated by eta . the commission in its clarification of two months ago , in his answer today , has had responsibility for acknowledging this happening , but it has recognised this motion for a resolution of the ppe-de group who , together with other trivializaciones 's case , we have been prevented from live with that . the minister over-arching peter caruana has asked wisely in a group of experts to inform it directly . it is and remains in our opinion , the danish more coherent and one that best guarantees interests and the safety of all concerned . mrs maij-weggen and mr posselt , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; in 1980 unhcr was concerned with five million refugees . we welcome this unhcr and the entire humanitarian personnel . mr president , the commission would , of course , support the support which parliament has given to the unhcr in its 50th anniversary . i would like to address a wider point that is very relevant to what you said earlier . b5-0909 / 2000 by mrs pack and others , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; my last question i would like to make is that of the terrible events in the border between serbia and kosovo . there must be milosevices , not in the conferences of the party in belgrade . we are hoping too that in the same kosovo the mentality of ethnic groups who continue to bickering give in to mutual respect . without get flowers , we can also see that the european union has responded very quickly to the new situation . b5-0915 / 2000 by mr medina ortega and others , on behalf of the pse group ; b5-0918 / 2000 by mrs napoletano and others , on behalf of the pse group ; the chilean government assured that , in chile , general pinochet would have a fair trial and , indeed , at the moment the general pinochet has lost his immunity and judicial authorities chilean are proceeding against him . . i should like to remind him that it is important that we approve this joint resolution and is now pinochet in chile , what we were not allowed to give pinochet was in the uk . i say this in the knowledge that these are the key convictions of the party of european free alliance and the greens in the house . mr president , before we start to my contribution i should like to support the sentencing of the attacks that has cost the lives of an elected representative of the people , and in a militant and councillor partido popular in catalonia , spain . that is why i am delighted that my group and , in my opinion , the majority in parliament , will not tow to serve as a sounding board for the operation of the current crisis . life is in great danger . the league of human rights is only suspended its premises are precintados and its president , moktar trifi , has been announced in court , as already mentioned it , the 25th december . human rights activists , trade unionists , practicians , journalists and students advise people on the atrocities that commit authorities . their condition is extremely delicate . the harassment journal and the tundas under-going all democrats really are generalized . i hope that in this case the legal system chilean will continue to show independence and efficiency . we know that the heads of mission in the european union are closely following the political situation in the region . finally , i should like to mention the crucial role played by parliament , which has helped to raise awareness and to intensify the dialogue on these matters through visits by parliamentary and public debates like this . laurent gbagbo must undertake a genuine policy of national reconciliation , which includes break with the discussion on the concept of ivoirité , an amendment to the constitution racist and the democratic elections which none of the applicant should remain outside . otherwise , the risk of secession and civil war , can only increase . mr president , for months we have heard in the ivory coast came wreaking justified alarm in the european public and the corresponding concern in this house . conditions are : that nobody can feel excluded which revoke the supreme court established by the military authorities , and that the head of state to be involved in unambiguous terms in the process of democratic refurbishment and that we will hear the views of the committee on national reconciliation . the concept of ivoirité seems to me , in my view , perfectly sound . there are disposable around half a dozen copies in the chair . mr president , on behalf of the green group , we too we withdraw our resolution . mr president , i endorse what mr turco just said . ( the minutes were approved ) with regard to these people , the member states must pursue different political dealing with both the subject of the care needed as a matter for the cover of spending , particularly for disabled people with relatives cannot become truly sympathize with them finally and completely . mr president , i am very pleased to speak on behalf of the greens / european free alliance and to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent report . currently , people ever had a better prospects of life through resources sanitation , to information , to assistance , to housing and to the pension systems . they are able to do something , with many recommendations , are the governments of member states , the governments of the autonomous communities , provinces , municipalities . the basis of this concept of life is in the family , where human beings is developed from childhood . often the case that , in recent years of our lives , enfermamos very seriously , we were fully disabled and we need to everybody 's help . finally , i emphasizing something in relation to health care . then too we alegaba that women were not to participate in working life to the men were to work . with an initial analysis , this may seem a handicap . we must find the means and the way to bring this about . the innumerable aged active should encourage us to everyone to fight for a society where the solidarity between generations is not just a catchword . these measures must be adapted to the different situations and features on the quality of life and to self-sufficiency economic . only a joint effort standing we can help to deal with them . there must be an adequate margin for preferences and decisions individuals . if someone is all the objects you need to be right , it is asking for the engage ; above all the glasses , because mrs flemming was behind you , mr fatuzzo . finally , we should re-instated from explicitly in the text setting up action for products from the outermost regions and their logos . another issue which must be stressed is methods of production in europe , environmentally friendly and to animals . that is why i welcome the establishment of a working group on biotechnology in the european parliament this week . naturally , these measures to institutional communication should rather completing operations advertising last-minute mainly by the massive distribution . if they had transposed parliament 's proposals , it was agreed in three times majority - but this once again demonstrates the powerlessness of parliament , which was that in the set-aside areas could be cultivate legumes , we could sowing trébol and allow pastase livestock , we could have been having more basic foodstuffs , for more proteins for livestock . this is the responsibility of producers , for retailers and organisations in the chains of production , but not the european union . we must ask ourselves why we failed in the past in order to make european industry regarded the resources available . indeed , if we can make and promote food in a more benévola on the environment , conscious of the conditions of animals and sold in international markets , then we are doing to the vocation original feature of the common agricultural policy . with regard to amendments nos 9 and 10 , where there have been calls for a management committee hoc , together with amendments nos 7 , 19 , 23 and 24 , where there are other procedural changes , i must say that the commission has to comply with procedural rules consistently . all of us remember that in europe is still possible dinner at home are right . mr president , is scientifically proven that the moderate consumption of wine is one of the best ways of preventing cancer , heart 's , alzheimer 's disease and many others . . ( nl ) i should like to congratulate the rapporteur on her work .
