we know full well that the current treaties are not enough and that it will be necessary in future to develop a structure more efficient and dissimilar to the union , stature more constitutional which makes it clear what the jurisdiction of member states and which are the powers of the union . 
messages trepidation to start with the economic and social problems that we live in , despite sustained growth as a result of years of effort by all our citizens . 
the current situation , particularly unbearable for many companies of transport start-ups and for agriculture , must be improved . 
reaching agreement on the procedures are very good , but we must ensure that this system should not be out of striking force policy . 
they too have now a clear vision of the rights they must comply with . 
i am in agreement with his warning return , which aims to some , intergovernmental methods . 
we are very much to want a federation of nation states . 
the rapporteurs have stressed the quality of the debate and also the need to go further . oh , i would like them to join . 
may i thank all those who gave me respectfully reproached for not making this speech earlier . to those i would say that , before i make a speech , we have to learn , educate and evaluate the warring forces , because the political rhetoric always needs to be realistic and close to the reality and the objectives we set ourselves . 
i would appreciate it if we parte of enhanced cooperation to give some examples of the new potential european . 
the vote will take place today at 12.30 p.m . 
the commission cannot accept amendment no 12 . 
i will vote in favour of the draft regulation . 
the reports by the european court of auditors are indeed of meeting these sous-estimations , greece portugal . 
consequently , we did not vote for this report . 
according to the sponsors of these bus , they are not only cheaper and can be used worldwide , they also greenest for fuel consumption per passenger is lower . 
the role of the ' benchmarking ' in terms of dissemination of best practice throughout the eu has emphasised . 
a binding charter , comprehensive and listing the rights that we need to respect and is likely to cause difficulties at a later stage . 
i thank them both for their tremendous commitment . 
however , we feel that this dialogue will already be concluded in nice in less than three months , and this reason alone we refuse to accept the proposal to incorporate the charter into the treaty on the occasion of the nice summit . 
the csu in the european parliament is happy that the present draft charter of fundamental rights lumps together and makes it clear to see the fundamental rights enjoyed by the citizens organs and institutions of the eu . 
it is along the lines of liberal europe which is built . 
indeed , i would have liked to have a set of this charter so that we can proceed to the work , as contained a great deal of non-governmental organisations of various eu countries . 
( a5-0248 / 00 ) by mr queiró , on hungary ( com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ) ; 
hence , i would like to propose that parliament is more , next year 's general report , but confines itself to national reports to show that we attach to the continuation differentiated negotiations . 
it seems to me and that , in the context of the work that has been undertaken by the previous presidencies and that the commission and the french presidency will be able , at least i hope so , to set out in the european council in nice , a fairly accurate sight of the accession process . 
i have said and i have no difficulty in say it again here , the french presidency is éludera none of the difficulties we are , which does not mean , of course , that we will have time and resources to deal with each of them . 
this question is , of course , perfectly legitimate , but it must be answered properly and carefully . 
enlargement is a broad perspective that we should like to unselfishness and with vision . 
all the results of the intergovernmental conference fail to the gigantic pressure that enlargement in terms of adjustment . 
the second major change that we are seeing and which europe has to adapt is the speeding-up foudroyante of economic developments towards a global market and global competition . 
fourthly , it follows from this principle that the member states who began latest processes have a good opportunity to make up for those who started early . 
wherever considerable investment and long-term are required to reach the standards within the eu , we should bear in mind that the current members themselves have , in such cases , called for a long transition periods . 
with regard to security boundaries and to combat crime there will also our standards and benefits of european cooperation . 
let us look trade that there is now with the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . 
i was delighted that commissioner are finally beginning to talk about informing the public and say that the fears which have been mentioned did not have to raison d ' être . 
but it is clear - and i welcome mr verheugen finish it again stressed : it is not possible to have a transitional period in terms of respect for democratic rules . 
here we need more aid from the commission , because even if the will is there , the ammunition is sometimes lacking . 
that is necessary to help us , as the european union , we setting targets for carrying out our own reformes procedure . 
but we do not agree with aspects and crucial questions . 
this runs counter to the european union and to its future self-sufficient in comparison with north america and also to defence and security policy europe-wide , since this would create risks with russia and other countries . 
we hope there will be the result and when there are not to refer to another intergovernmental conference which must be done to ensure that enlargement takes place . 
i shall be brief , as i have also been , having already given three minutes ' speaking time in my first speech . 
this is very important and , in this respect , i welcome the commission is working on an information campaign which commissioner verheugen wills both large and decentralisation . 
but - and this is my last word , as i would like to make it clear : i am not a pessimistic here , i do not play ' small arms " , i would like an option fiercely towards enlargement - to be credible , we must also be taken seriously , we must also be acknowledged . we also need to be able to make the accession of the people , the people of the candidate countries and also of our peoples . 
at the moment , i see no need to discuss the financial perspective in relation to enlargement . 
i cannot tell you about and which none of them ! 
it is also at the same reason that they have also expressed the wish to join the european union . 
we shall now give the floor to the various rapporteurs . 
i have been trusted to work as rapporteur on estonia . 
as a member of the moderate party , i am extremely thrifty when it comes to the taxpayers ' money . 
only then will it seems to me , you could take a picture of what the latvians have done in recent years . 
that is not enough , the overall strategy should be focusing more towards the citizens . 
lithuania has a full potential appreciable for sustainable economic growth . 
in its broadest sense , this relates to the cooperation of the european union with the russian federation . 
i now turn to another weak point : the support of public opinion , both inside and outside the european union . 
as a result of a fiscal policy intelligent , the direct foreign investments will cost , last year , in addition to 5 ,45 billion euros . 
we must not be involved ; surtout pas we from , germans ! 
democracy slovak develops a stable , which has not been the case . 
i propose , in my speech by stress and reiterate the six points in the development of the situation hungarian , which deserve to be highlighted in the run-up to accession to the european union . 
i am satisfied that this issue was envisaged in the general report on enlargement presented by mr brok . 
it is also and especially the case in the nuclear sector , where the legitimate concerns about nuclear safety and environmental risks being exploited by ewl anti-nucléaire . 
forming a high-level group is a measure i recommend my fellow members . 
the report that i had the honour to speak before and which was adopted unanimously in committee , asserts that part of the territory controlled by the authority lawful fulfils the copenhagen political criteria . 
for this purpose , a critical part will , without prejudice , of course , the role characteristic of the commission , to the high representative for the cfsp , javier solana . 
however , the main problem that malta has to face is that the government and opposition deem unequally the accession process and that the european union is committed to the fluidity of that process . 
even with the usa and mexico and levels are nearest . that is why we are , in the area of the internal market , for a well thought-out strategy , flexible and to the extent of challenge . 
however , i should also served to express my appreciation of the citizens of the countries of central and eastern europe which eurent brave , ten years ago , on the streets and who have helped to make headway with this process . 
the information society is important for industry , old and new . 
we also cannot allow ourselves to éblouir by percentages of community law transposed into national law . 
but the 10 new countries of eastern europe are of no such uncle of america . 
this also applies , and that is degrading and for the transport of live animals to slaughterhouses . 
in all legislation majeure , we are now imposing an evaluation of the effects on health . 
my report to notices must also speak of the european union and remarking that european funds for regional development cannot continue to be available on the basis of a simple division accountant between regions . 
elmar brok began quite rightly that speech with the comment that we are all beneficiaries of enlargement , especially when it we are working on this side of the external border present . 
the development of the waterways inner will be essential for environmental reasons , because we must ducking quantities of goods by road , and if we cannot transporting them railways , we must use the waterways . 
it has also said that there is egocentricity and even of populism , and the reduction in the course of the euro has certainly not helped to improve matters . 
the message we want to convey to the candidate countries is as follows : ' please do not dérouter by the scale of the reports and issues that are to be here . 
unfortunately , there are currently too many parties who have lost their ideology and that are already giving a idealism inadequate and that materialism excessive . 
if we need to defer the right of the acquisition of land and use of housing at home , différons-le . 
it is up to now , but surely gripped by the lack of transparency bureaucratic and resistance manifesto , albeit not public , a number of governments . 
where incidentally are the millions of jobs promised by the maastricht treaty ? 
while we are in the process of revising the treaties in some member states are already at a future reform . 
the vast majority fact-finding rid of them relate to governed by the member macro-economic and associated with enlargement . 
however , apart from minorities tiny , a political group can undermine the main focus of our political slovene , which is to become members as soon as possible in the european union . 
if the eu is enlarged speedily and there must be the breaking up strong as it is proposed in the opinion of the enlargement of the eldr group . 
in my view , it is clear that the statutory system prescribes a variety of long-term effects on health orphans . 
i would ask you to support the amendments along these lines . 
indeed we politicians europeans do not understand quite well the negotiation process . 
cyprus will become something of a bridge to the countries of the region . 
i wish for negotiators resuming the success of their work on this important matter . 
a second style of communication will be crucial in our countries and countries wishing to accede to tell them what is the european union . 
we cannot afford to lose even more of the élan which prevailed in the early 1990s . 
mr president , firstly , as rapporteur socialists in the report on romania , i should like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent work . 
it relates to the institutions and for the member states and for all of us , to live up to this challenge and also in relation to the concerns of our own citizens , and to find the breathtaking , ambition and a vision of the founding fathers of europe . 
unfortunately , however , i have the impression that , despite all the fine words and the numerous chapters that the council has examined in order applied , this enlargement process is not supported or mu on energy policy requires . 
many countries in the european union has faced similar problems at some point or another in their development and can advising bulgaria in order to help them to overcome those in which it must now face up . 
democracy is not just a question of majorities . it is also a matter of codecision route to minorities . 
the candidate countries must be placed on an equal footing and their accession should depend for their own development . 
at the same time , we should acknowledge the efforts of countries like lithuania that rattrapent , if you like , on lost time . 
consequently we are keen to extend our system of rights and freedoms until rumania and this subject must be applied to the debate criticism of the european public . 
however , it is a question around which the rallying happens - namely that of enlargement . 
my group therefore supports the limitation periods of transition towards the environment of a maximum of five years . 
mr president , we have to give an impetus in favour of enlargement . 
the debate is certainly paved with regard to the order in which these countries will join , because it will also look at the state of play in their internal reforms . 
i welcome the very positive report on slovenia and the considerable efforts made by albania to satisfy the copenhagen criteria . as the head of delegation , i was able to me to report back on several occasions , like the commissioner . 
in my opinion , the proposal is worthy of consideration . 
these kinds of violence and exploitation of women must be henceforth convicted and combated by every means possible , both within the eu and in the candidate countries for accession . 
finally , i would like to take this opportunity to join in number of fellow members , and i agree with the thoughts and misgivings , and emphasising the need to carefully study the issue of the borders of europe and , flowing and to the scope of its enlargement , and the opportunity , for the european parliament and to draw up a special report on this . 
the minutes of yesterday 's sitting have been distributed . 
thank you . 
we happens from time to time recalling , rightly , in this house , that the people 's europe must be a europe in which community legislation upholds their rights properly . 
let us proceed to vote on the postponement of the committee on legal affairs and the internal market . 
we know that these substances and products undesirables is rare substances in the toxicology violent , but there are substances that are taking place in time within the body which would have a lifespan long , such as dioxins and the aflatoxines and heavy metals such as cadmium , lead and mercury . 
it is not possible to find those responsible . 
if we are to allow this dilution , we must at least in notify control services and it should be put on record that these watering down exist because the matter should be made public and be the subject of a public debate . 
i should highlight the following : the dioxin crisis was the result of crimes against the existing regulations . 
mr president , i thank those members who spoke before me . 
it was a real need . 
for example , for the fishmeal , the limit value is different from that which is being proposed for products of animal origin not seas . 
it is time we stopped an interpretation out of the principle of subsidiarity , which seeks to further every day heighten the tutelage of brussels of our nations . 
like the rapporteur , i think all these measures are justified , as it is quite right to examine the situation of these substances which she refers - which are not toxin itself , but which increase the toxicity of mixtures . 
unfortunately , a lot of the savoir-faire ancestral , common-sense peasant are lost , in an era of european industrial land where animals are no longer than production units and commodities . 
the new regulations will bring together and assimilate and simplification of the rules sanitary very detailed and complex that were previously éparpillées among many directives . 
the number of people who need to learn how exactly which are constituents is , in my homework and fairly small . 
secondly , the farmers , who are the producers of ingredients in animal fodder , incur definitely a change , in future , we will destroy much more important to their basic products . 
the compensation is necessary but it is clear that the farmers themselves are also very worried about the well-being of their cattle . 
amendment no 18 propose explicitly to include water in the definition of feedingstuffs . 
on the basis of these various evaluations and the commission will propose to member states suitable measures to limit the presence of the products involved in animal feed . 
in view of the amendments submitted for approval of this house , i am grateful to parliament for its support for the proposal . 
to sum up , therefore , the commission can accept in full 15 of the 27 amendments . 
i am assuming that this time , they will not succeed . 
the commission has promised that it is travaillerait and has also announced that the list would not be ready tomorrow . 
farmers must simply pretences - that , at least on request and in the form of percentages - everything contained such compound feedingstuffs and where quantity . 
finally , i would like to sincerely thank the rapporteur , mr graefe zu baringdorf , and mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and hope that the council will come here a constructive attitude , so that we can achieve a transparent system of the declaration of feed . 
all this , of course , because of the tragedy of bse that was a real novel on several chapters . 
the toxics that affect the health of humans and animals , is not acceptable . 
but let us start with the positive points . 
the proposal before us is the beginning of a series of initiatives which are based on the white paper on food safety . 
thank you , commissioner . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) by m queiró , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , on human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2175 ( cos ) ] 
report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) by baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the committee on foreign affairs , on human rights , common security and defence policy , on the application for membership of the romania in the european union and the state of negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 ( cos ) ] 
thirdly and it is perhaps the most difficult conditions , the council must reach agreement on new arrangements institutionally which allow for the community to function effectively and efficiently and democratically after enlargement . 
even if you agree with the principles of article 13 , it is clear that the legislation derived from which the european union draws goes too far , and that there is no good reason for rejecting the candidate countries a right to differentiating between cultural . 
let me conclude by insisting that the enlargement process must be progressive , in step with the modification of the candidate countries . 
. ( es ) in the current situation and , in view of reservations which have started to make itself heard about the enlargement of the european union , it is important that parliament is a political gesture clearly in favour of it . 
but the eu , since its inception , vocation is to bring together the peoples . 
the criteria of copenhagen in 1993 , with regard to democratisation or of the ability to sustain competition reinforce , by way of the ' acquis communautaire ' , the reign of a brutal capitalism and destructive . 
a headlong rush into enlargement in such circumstances , threatens to speed up aberrations populists and fascisantes who pointed up . 
the agenda of this session contains precisely a report relating to equality between men and women , who once again the unsatisfactory state of the acquis communautaire in this area . 
that would indeed denying entry , in our european home , poland 's copernic and of pope john paul ii , of hungary martyred by 1956 budapest or of the capital symbol , prague , when democracies populaires défenestraient the head of state and écrasaient the people of jan palach , immolé for freedom . 
a europe larger area and to tasks and the homework more numerous , requires a greater financial resources . 
i take this opportunity to express my greetings to the elderly and pensioners in estonia , hoping that it is to keep their livelihoods within the european union . 
i therefore see no reason why latvia is not recognised inside the european union , if it continues to grow as quickly once and for the union will procedurally the conversion of its institutional structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . 
i therefore see no reason for that lithuania is not recognised inside the european union , if it continues to grow as quickly once and for the union will procedurally the conversion of its institutional structure and its policies to cope with enlargement . 
action is also evident in the field of environment and the application of the so-called national fund for the protection del environment ' and applying the polluter pays principle . 
by ensuring that polish membership of the common house and the union will have justly focusing on the new arrivante : justice which it has been too short . 
i hope that the czech republic join the union cursorily . 
. i welcome the queiró report on the application for membership of hungary in the european union and i agree with most of the conclusions which embodies the rapporteur . 
i hope that bulgaria join the european union for a future not too distant . 
poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) 
it is a positioning fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take seriously . 
i hope , incidentally , that the talks held under the aegis of the united nations will come about , so that the cypriot people greek and turkish benefit , together , of the benefits of membership in the context of a republic reunified . 
. i should like to warmly welcome the poos report on the accession of cyprus to join the european union . 
however , us as consumers , we are therefore the final phase of the food chain and are therefore the réceptacle final of misappropriation and of pirate foodstuff . 
we attaches particular importance to implement , at european level , and more specifically , food safety for the stall to table , or by the hayfork up to the fork . 
that is precisely because we are in favour of the development of cooperation relations , really fraternal and partners truly equal , between different countries on earth , that we do not intend , in our vote , to endorsing a farce . 
the council has informed parliament before the vote in committee , but only just before it , casting aside and deliberately any chance to look at this question with me or with parliament . 
in my report , i would broader representation and involvement of ngos and increased responsibility towards the european parliament and the establishment of an annual report to be discussed in parliament , a degree of transparency as large as possible , promotion of memories of the past as a means of combating prejudices and recognition of discrimination multifaceted . 
at the same time , the interests warranted workers must be taken into account . 
as the supreme responsibility rests with the social partners as regards the regulations on the discrimination at work , they are in a better position to develop practical solutions . 
replying to my invitation , jenny had come attend as coordinator of the group access charter . 
practicality , because the guidelines and action programmes ' comments on the one hand , the member states to combat discrimination on the basis of the same principles and , secondly , the commission to play its role as guardian of the treaties , but also of guideline in the social debate . 
although the legal basis release funds for new preparatory actions and they are funded from within this category could lead to a reduction in appropriations for other policies . 
ladies and gentlemen , we have before us a proposal for a framework necessary but insufficient , which we will have the opportunity to improve the mechanisms once a minimum period of time for implementation will have elapsed . 
i hope that the commission , in the light of this new directive will develop an interest in doing for the sexual discrimination . 
i congratulate the commission , as well as the authors of these reports . 
i am delighted with the opinion of the mann report which aims to allow aid to underlying rationale of ask , if necessary , the staff requirements for the employment arising from this basis . 
the speed with which the institutions have made use of new powers of the amsterdam proves , commissioner , that the european union canning always its role as a pioneer in terms of equal opportunities , and that is why i heartfelt thanks go to the european commission . 
the fact that there is in our society discrimination of various kinds confirms the importance of the action programme on when and on the report by mr cashman . 
mr president , on behalf of the bonino list i should like to express the european effarement that we are faced with the way europe and the member states are approaching the issue of discrimination , racism and xenophobia . 
can the commissioner to explain why the commission does not take account of this problem ? 
the second issue i would like to raise is that the ngos , as important as it may be , are asked to take charge of implementation , regardless of size , by their nature and actions that they are pursuing . 
the liberal group and democratic evaluated all this positively and particularly the work of parliament who wanted to insist , also and above all , on the prevention of phenomenon and not just on best practices . 
this is a challenge for us all , because we consider the other on a first impression . 
mr president , combat and legislate against discrimination which is to recognise that there are indeed that they are so many of them , ' regulated ' because banalisées . 
the first and unctad , the united nations conference on trade and development , asked in 1963 in geneva the principle of inequalities compensatory and therefore to discrimination . 
in fact , the information and awareness of concerning this very important , they must play a key figure and serve to instil a new approach , a new way of thinking and to be so that these prejudice still escaping from a pervasive in the population to be completely eradicated and that real equality is guaranteed in legal terms amongst the citizens . 
we therefore need to make progress with the two legislative initiatives discussed today , with increased but some of these aspects and by increasing the amounts set aside for the financing of galileo , to reflect the political importance of this fight against discrimination . 
in particular , the agreement on the precautionary principle is needed reasonable , including sweden and ireland is the pionnières , will now ensure that workers from the whole of europe , adapt their places of work , acquired special equipment and adjust their working methods in order to give a fair chance to blue-collar handicapped . 
article 13 is the start of a new objective e.u. : the unfavourable or unequal treatment of citizens through grounds listed in article . 
the second point concerns the european gross mistake committed , unfortunately , that the commission with this first package in the way it wanted to draw up a list of priorities in terms of the forms of discrimination . 
mr president , discrimination based on religion is unacceptable , as any other form of discrimination . 
as a layman convinced , i cannot therefore to associate myself with it . 
however , the european noble-minded idea of giving every citizen of maximum freedom as possible , provided that it is compatible with the same degree of freedom to others , meets again today constraints - some of knowledgeable and other of law . 
one of these directives has already been made in record time , and i think that the other is a good chance of being adopted during the french presidency in november . 
some do not comply with legal requirements , such as the one on agreements between the commission . 
however , i cannot accept amendment no 38 , which seeks to delete article 5 in the list of difference in treatment on the grounds of age , which could be justified . 
you mentioned the important question of whether the contract . 
that is the first time that we are allowing joint projects in this action programme . 
clearly , the greater the code will be all-embracing and more it will be effective . 
article 7 of the code urge member states to prevent any transfer of arms to the end-users inappropriate . 
mr president , i confess that i below nostalgia in the days when émanaient , the european parliament , but also of various peace movements and trade unions and incentives to follow and act within the context of a gradual reduction of arms production , and where we wondered how one could go on military use is off civil use . 
given the situation facing today the world and our continent , after the cold war and the breaches of the equilibrium established by the terror of weapons of mass destruction , such behaviour would be irresponsible . 
these weapons have become , as it were , the symbol of anarchy in many places in the world . 
the cfsp obscures one activity destined to deal with the crisis situations outside the eu 's borders , rather than anything that can be described as a defence policy . 
their aim is to prevent arms exports to fates of governments violating the human rights and of regions occurring in belligerence or the regions which are engaged in shopping at weaponization . 
the commission , in close collaboration with member states , has been active in the creation of joint action of the european union on small arms and to step calibre . 
the next item is the commission communication on the european area of research . 
introduction of forms of intervention of extended opening ; intermediary between the furtherance of projects and funding institutionally , use instruments variable-geometry offered by the treaty , in particular the participation of the union for national programmes as it is under article 169 of the treaty . 
what we want to strengthen and that is the character of hierarchy and it depends on the level of mode of intervention . 
you say envisaging a recasting of the total programme . 
i think that we now need to do something that structure is a european research area , in other words , something which goes beyond the framework programme coming to increase of national programmes ; we need an element structure , which means that we have to accept formulae . 
with regard discussions with the stoa , i believe we must do something together with parliament and the joint research centre , the institutions of foresight herrings in individual member states are involved . 
it seems that the commission is making progress towards the achievement of the european research area . 
there will be just a chapter on the science and society and its citizens . 
contacts were held with the authorities in greece , ireland and portugal to ask the government of these countries sped up the presentation of the committee on their projects under the cohesion fund . 
probably the absence of the service you mention and which prevailed in the last commission , which was devoted exclusively to the cohesion fund , makes it impossible to have any news more concrete . 
my second question is : apart from the cohesion fund , there is the community support framework and the structural funds and regional programmes , etc. to which countries have you received projects reliable and which schemes which countries have you already adopted ? 
in 1989 , the commission has introduced a new proposal to offer greater flexibility . 
i fully understand the arguments of mr bolkestein and i know that the rule of tenet of treaty prohibits dismiss aliens more companies as domestic , but the general act of fair competition in europe should be applied , and as levels of taxation are completely unreasonable , we should consider the effect that legislation on competition can have on the situation , and that in spite of the general view that we are dealing with a prerogative of member states . 
if you want to retain the fuel and it must be done via taxes on a steam , rather than through other forms of taxation . 
in reply to mr purvis that question drawbacks regional wildlife is indeed a matter for national governments inasmuch as part of their electorates finds itself in periphery and away . 
mr president , commissioner , thank you for your information . 
this spring and of summer hutus and the commission has undertaken a general review of its activities and its human resources . 
we have had some information on that . 
the juveniles , in an ever increasing proportion , are exploited by tourists and business people , who for large numbers of them come from europe . 
the commission believes that all companies will be able to get ready in time for the final conversion to the euro , including with regard to adjusting their computer systems and their software . 
this discussion philosophico-politique is of the agenda but we can discuss a general of the dangers of a referendum , although it may be in a different context . 
it also applies to momentum . 
a review has recently been sent to the french authorities . 
with regard to the candidate countries , i can tell you that it has held meetings with them on the subject of animal transport and that agreements preliminary were concluded . 
but the commission has been informed in the season for sowing the spring of this year of interception seed imported from conventional varieties of different species and is understood cotton , containing traces of gm seeds . 
now , after consulting its staff , i am able to inform you that the basic requirements in relation to security and computer equipment for private use or professional laid down by a directive on the electrical and directive ' low voltage ' , and by the directive on equipment and radio sector telecommunications terminal equipment . 
is accordera-t-il mind with me for saying that the distinction made between safety at work and safety at class or security for a child who work at home that does not really a ? 
perhaps serrera-t-il the hand of president khatami . 
aung san suu kyi is now de facto under house arrest . 
so i am reluctant to go further on trade or to advise other actions on trade and investment . 
question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : 
those who said to me that were e.g. refer to some meetings pre-electoral which they had been committed . 
questions nos 16 to 44 will receive written answers . 
we want , however , the european report consolidated , published and approved by this parliament . 
we should concentrate on the move to degeneration of weapons and not the way in which we will ensure our competitiveness in relation to other countries in the world who produce armaments . 
the five permanent members of the security council , who are supposed to look after our safety , should take heed of these proposals and negotiations as soon as possible , to arrangement really worthy of the 21st century . 
the debate here today is an important milestone in the process of reform that the prodi commission has launched a little more than a year . 
i cannot help to have the impression that in its haste to produce a proposal within the deadline set by the white paper on reform , the commission has failed to address properly the details . 
i therefore propose that the auditor and the internal auditor produces winners of the annual reports to turn up to their activities . 
the van hulten report heightening more so , and rightly so , the distinction plaidée by the commission . it forms a good starting point for the exchange of best practice among the institutions . 
let us hope that this is not repeated . 
if we create a rule on the major institutions , then the principle of independence highlighted by the wise men should be everywhere . 
we have very often alive in the past situations in the decision-making inordinately long sparked amongst the proposers disappointment and loss of confidence in the european institutions . 
let me tell the commissioner that this report is merely a transitional stage . this means that it is the first phase of building a bridge between the system of control available to us today and the system we wish to have following the reform . 
that is the proposal which is before you . 
only when they are to be capable of taking it on that the sampling , the procedure sampling , will also be frequent monitoring and will be denied . 
beyond words , we are all aware that it is certainly not an easy task . 
i am thinking of course that we are not designation , nor as politicians or as a technicians in order to get to grips alone in resolving this problem . 
fortunately , the vast majority of children and young people grow up in an environment exempt from such harmful factors . 
i fully agree with the commission president , when he stresses the need for such a catalogue statutory ; it is absolutely essential , in my opinion , underpin the principle of subsidiarity and that means that the eu is abstienne to seek to introduce effective policies in many areas in which the political problems are not trans-national . 
information from the whole world and on all aspects of knowledge are becoming available from the domicile in the shortest time possible . theirs , communicate with the whole world is one thing mainstream . 
apprehended very quickly , they have to policemen , ' it is amusing , in the feuilletons , it does not take readily ' . 
legislators - i will end here , mr president , cannot resolve matters , but it must occasionally reminded the rights and duties of everyone . 
i am also very receptive to the remarks made about education and training on reading images and on the awareness of the younger generation as having a questioned the media and not to buy whatever they like , whenever you like , no matter how . 
if a report like this fails to make progress and to improve the mobility or at least starting to break down the barriers which are currently mobility in the world of education and there is no longer does impact negatively on their side . 
the problems to resolve in the various countries are to diverse nature , for example , regulations differ in terms of social security and fellowships studies , residence permit , taxation and lack of mutual recognition of examinations and traineeships . 
it is time for europe committing itself again on the proper implementation of programmes such as socrates and youth for europe . 
experiences with regard to mobility of students and teachers are proof that the real problems of kidneys are not so much on the part of the management of education in the field of social and fiscal authorities and immigration . 
you mentioned the socrates programme to illustrate this issue . 
we need a system of inspection and control abundantly clear , even though they have done in sampling , above all , a facility , a web page , where the commission might lodge complaints . 
we therefore call for the integration of the target group researchers of the group of people eligible recommendations . 
it is easy to do so in a speech , but not so much in practice . 
the debate is closed . 
we appreciate your approach , as well as that of the president chirac or from the minister joschka fischer . 
enlargement imposes strengthening and reinforcing permits and do not discredits enlargement . 
( applause ) europe has a cultural heritage , social and legal and science-based single aggravated by the variety and vitality of national components . 
the proposal for a resolution on the commission 's reports , on which you will be voting earlier , is rich in this . 
it is evident in the report produced by the finnish presidency on women in decision-making . indicators that she has drawn up will allow us to evaluate the progress made . 
aside from the conference of ministers and the symposium on equality at work , two very important reports and devoted specifically to equality , but deriving from the committee on employment and social affairs deserve to be mentioned . 
the second relates to the principle of non-discrimination , including based on sex . 
as part of the annual reports , i would add , and the president-in-office has also mentioned this - that one of the main problems facing the eu is , of course , the existence of large cultural differences . 
the reports which we are debating here also give the impression . 
we must ensure that the directive on equality may arise in real legislation . 
i believe that this method is used primarily in finland are used in many areas and , since it forms part of the strategy of equal opportunities in the commission , we can provide a good result . 
on behalf of equal opportunities and french women have claimed , thanks to europe and the right to work at night . 
as a french citizen , a vision of the world m is particularly alien . 
despite these reservations , we will vote for this report because , of course , we are in favour of equal opportunities , but equal opportunities , it is above all due respect for everyone . 
those who deprive the mothers liberty to raise their children without being paid the price will later on in the form of crime juvenile and of vandalism . 
in this regard , i would remind our report on the splitting of fundamental pension in the event of divorce , so that the benefits for the survivors and the age of retirement are integrated into the directive on 1979 . 
women polish we were very grateful to specify that the speaker who were present did not even take over the position of women polish . 
a greater presence of women at all levels of government and in all areas is essential to strengthen democracy and to promote and maintain peace . 
finally , i should like to mention the situation of women in the countries which have prepared to join the european union . 
as council members , including men who will sit here , have to take on the essential task which is to bring europe in the fight against the mafia which organizes the trafficking in women , because this form of slavery is not the kind of problems that can make heighten the shoulders of the politicians responsible , or that they can hold back or overlooked . 
we can make reporting and the speeches that we are examining today that the issue of equal opportunities has , as many as we know , a problem about structures and , for it up , we need global strategies , because women are neither a class or a social group homogeneous , let alone inimical . 
it is true that i was rather sorry to see that maria de belém roseira would no longer this post . 
two of you have spoken of new social rights , new rights tax . 
thirdly , they form the basis of a strategy with regard to the european union , even for the charter of fundamental rights , and because we have prepared for a culminating in the current situation also featured - but they also offer the possibility nationally , since the member states can now , thanks to the comparative assessments and define their national targets . 
the joint debate is closed . 
we must see these amendments in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , consequently , parliament can allow compromises with is not insisting on these amendments comitology discerned that , in a way that they were unable to handle the new interinstitutional framework . 
nevertheless , i still personally that i believe that the text approved at the time by parliament matched even better if the new realities which gave rise to the single market and free markets , as long as all the elements of clarificatory and control than was introduced amendments not accepted ensured greater respect for legislation and ensuring equal procedures . 
if we want non-member states accept the compromise , the european community must be the first to apply to monitor compliance with its own rules . if a country has the opportunity to bring products to market with community smuggling , why prendrait-il worth negotiating some sort of concession with us ? 
similarly , parliament 's amendment concerning the declaration of illegal immigrants , which was adopted by the council , will allow the customs administrations of member states to make an retro-fit instruments for managing warning latest business . 
but it is too late now to the vote has just taken place and the members have voted in favour of it . 
votes ( continuation ) 
report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) by mrs dybkjær , on behalf of the committee on women 's rights and equal opportunities , on the commission 's annual reports on ' equal opportunities for women and men in the eu , 1997 and 1998 and 1999 [ com ( 1999 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0288 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) 
. this is not the first time that i have spoken about the mobility of students and as such teacher . 
this report is even more important than it occurs at a critical time for the european union and that of enlargement . 
this discrimination does not struggle through the creation of additional administrative bodies , only in people 's attitudes . 
i did not vote for the mann report , because if it is absolutely necessary to seek equal treatment of people in employment and labour , should also do not get the zeal in point abandon all protection of fundamental rights and with due respect for the rule of law . 
as a layman convinced , i was unable to associate myself with it . 
the snp welcomes this directive and its goal of ending discrimination at work . 
if we want to make the directive acceptable and enforceable , it cannot be overburdened with literature and of desires which do not belong in a legislative text . 
the eplp has , however , more serious reservations on the following areas . 
some things too should , in our view , be left to the discretion of member states , such as the general scope , the organisation of training for workers to some age groups , the nature of the system of mediators , and how they must interpret it . 
in this interview , hulten said quite correctly that only about resolving problems such as fraud , the wasted , but also the inefficiency in the decision-making process and will enable us to start with an agenda positively . 
the reasons for the course of my vote it relates to a large extent , to the question of closer links between the eu and nato and to the european boost given to the common defence policy . 
this is also arms exports of europe as a means of resolving the conflict in the future locally geographical areas bordering on europe . 
however , i cannot accept that there furnish the need for a common defence policy and a common european security and defence policy . 
children are the main victims of violence on television . 
i welcome the introduction of this study . 
the group of experts will be represented at community level . it will have the task to establish a european memorandum establishing the general principles for the protection of minors in the context of the media . 
dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) 
it is particularly interesting that for the first time , be considered it necessary to continue appraisal of effective policy initiatives in the middle of the commission 's annual reports . 
peru 
mr president , peru afflicting moments of uncertainty and we have all the hope that the current situation is resolved by means of a process , guaranteeing all civil and political rights and contributing to the strengthening of democracy and peace in peru , where 25 000 people died in the last fifteen years . 
the word to is the word ' democracy ' . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions under which have been conducted elections in peru in may this year 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 . 
i am therefore pleased to note that there are some points very sound and clear about the situation of women and that it draws attention to the need to try to intervene to ensure that the taliban regime is continuing its use of discrimination frontal women . 
the eu has an important task . 
there cannot be recognition on the part of any member state , as will continue the policy of violation of human rights , especially in systematic discrimination against women . 
we must take account of this fact , the european institutions , and the fact that the drug crops are being used to buy arms . 
it will support , however , in a decisive manner neighbouring countries and to improve their chances of drugs policy . 
i think it is time to draw attention to the fact that the european union is beginning to sketching an integrated policy towards the countries of latin america which could prevent these countries are experiencing periodically crisis situations such as those that some have experienced . 
mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the commission and the european house welcome the release of father jesuit castilian alejandro matos castro last week . 
b5-0782 / 2000 ) by mr haarder , on behalf of the european liberal , democrat and reform party , on macedonia : legislation for tertiary education and universities . 
that is why we are delighted that the problem of higher education possibly has finally found a solution really positive . 
personally , i think this is mainly a good example and for all neighbouring countries , demonstrating that education is not only to teach hatred - as is the case in most cases , but it can also be the birthplace of a multi-ethnic coexistence pacific . 
i would also like to see this solution is approved by all the parties represented in parliament . 
perhaps i can take this opportunity to emphasize that the commission has already been able to be congratulated on his cooperation with the high representative , mr van der stoel . 
we are not holding this debate today only to express our deep sorrow . we are having chiefly to investigate what has happened and what are the causes and how we are to remedy the situation , how can we , as the commission and parliament will ensure that such events do not occur again . 
in any case , mr president , we agree with the present joint resolution on which we support as it is libellée , under the urgency , and on the basis , of course , from what i mentioned earlier . we disagree with the proposed amendments also under urgent procedure . 
for my amendment on working conditions , there is a directive for doing so , the wording of amendment is not as well as the text . 
it is simply not acceptable for the islands of the north and the west of scotland , as in the route of potential crossings in the north sea towards the european continent is concerned , let us hope that inaugurated in the near future . 
i am pleased that the greek government has meanwhile been called off this derogation . 
therefore , following the shipwreck of the vessel samina express and the commission immediately asked the greek government to provide clarifications on the application of community law in force . 
i should like to raise the question , and i ask you to clarify this with the bureau , though , following the abolition of friday , the abolition of thursday has not made a particular way . 
the problem is resolved and as long as we will not , the international financial institutions - the imf and world bank - will be unable to support the democratic serbia . consequently , it must also work in the un and the countries of former yugoslavia and source as quickly as possible an agreement which can unfreeze , when the time of freedom arrives in serbia , aids economic - through the imf and world bank . 
at this moment will perhaps be a onto the streets of belgrade the advent of a democratic change where the use of violence can be avoided . 
we all condemn the acts that can be seen as provocation , particularly as regards the holy places in jerusalem . 
with regard to the middle east , and we europeans have made an effort , venice , madrid and oslo , stockholm - and we really are supporting the promotion and the development of this process . 
the fact most shocking is the use of balls in fragment by police and army israeli ; these balls , which explosent in the text by tens of pieces and which are prohibited in an international level , even in fighting against soldiers , are now deployed against civilians . 
i believe that europe can and must play a major along these lines , clearly and decision . 
we must therefore do everything to stop the fire in progress as quickly as possible . 
the provocations such as the action of ariel sharon must not be allowed to happen . 
it is again at the moment , and that is what inhibit and prevented europe in the course of the many years , to play a role as mediator in the middle east , abandoning its role in the united states alone . 
we do not sacrifierons the serbian people in our high-minded objectives moral because it could spell the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . 
to conclude , madam president , i propose to send a parliamentary delegation as quickly as possible and as soon as a new yugoslav government has been formed in order to establish the level of re-building of a new serbia in conjunction with the new government . 
madam president , ladies and gentlemen , we are clearly a historic day in parliament which will perhaps be the end of one of the last cornerstones of a totalitarian regime in europe . 
mr president , there is a problem , the german version of the list of topical and urgent debates , and i do not know if it is also the case of other versions - contains all the amendments proposed by the gue , but no proposal for a resolution , nor the joint text . 
mr president , i should just like to draw the attention of my colleagues on the pile indicating what documents we needed to be voted for this week . 
if parliament could propose amendments to the council decision , it soulignerait probably unemployment and social problems in croatia which are due to regime austerity imposed on barbados , yet there is no legal basis for such amendments along these lines . 
this is an opportunity to claim the same objectives as regards the activity of the eib . 
mr president , we discussed yesterday evening , at the very heart of this house , the question of serbia and changes revolutionaries who occur there . 
i would also like to reassure the honourable members , and especially the council , to remain in the negotiations over coming months on the budget for next year and the subsequent years , the more true to the commission 's proposal , which , in my opinion , is currently the best estimate of the overall costs in croatia and in other parts of the balkans . 
in 1990 , the democratic elections held in this country were found to be fair and free from international opinion . 
i therefore say yes to financial aid , yes to this ensured , and i invite energetically the commission to help massively barbados deeply european and now really governed by democratic means and under the principles of the rule of law , with one voice to the candidates for accession , because i believe that croatia has earned our unconditional support . 
like the rapporteur , i wonder whether the money allocated for this really will be available , all the more that it looks as if enormous resources must be made available for serbia and that the eu budget is not tightened up considerably . 
the delegations of the croatian parliament and the us have also asked the council to extend the mandate of the eib . 
i hope that contacts have noueront quickly and that , as in croatia , aid is provided to the serbian people , which deserves our greatest respect . 
( the minutes were approved ) 
in the same spirit , we call upon the women of the european parliament to participate in this empowerment : there is an appeal tuesday and wednesday and we prize signatures and participation in the delegation , because i want to build explicit , between women and builders peace where there is violence . 
overall , there were more suffering for the basque people and for spaniards ; it is true that the spanish and basques are tired of the current conflict . 
madam president , you will recall that , in the last part-session , i mentioned the plight of a activist democrat , the british james mawdsley , which was accommodated illegally by the burmese authorities . 
madam president , speaking for myself , i should like to deal with exalts the rules of procedure . 
in fact , this report on the technical façade , which is to provide a great refinement of political and very important because , dropped , it introduces the possibility of practising genetic engineering in viticulture and therefore therein lies the vine growing gm . 
if we do not agree with the report , there will delays . 
the council of state - as you said - has rejected this action and we have fully informed of the proceedings . 
but today the situation again and revolves around a meyer , certainly in the ppe , instead of my political party in italy . 
that is why we are actively to the introduction of a scoreboard social , as has been the case for the internal market , with clear rules and deadlines and deadlines . 
i hope , madam minister , that the council will be inspired by the desires of parliament and that you will manage , at the nice summit , to set ambitious objectives in a european social agenda which we will then be in the coming years . 
following the informal meeting on employment and social policy ' commencing 8 july in paris , the presidency has called on all the actors involved - european parliament , of course , economic and social committee and cor and social partners , ngos and groups and committees of the council - for him to air their proposals . 
set against the quantitative at quality is a false debate and lisbon defined very clearly two purposes : more jobs and better jobs . 
we must encourage this mobility , while ensuring the safety of paths professional . 
we must try to reiterate and to describe the shortcomings of the system and , in any event , we must put them in the agenda . 
we believe that the open coordination is the right path towards a social europe . 
the implementation of the ambitions societal posted at lisbon is an attempt community-spirited , an action plan for the creation of jobs in the services , including those related to the information society . 
the commission obviously must make an important contribution , but the social issues are based on a local level , and there must be treated with maximum account of the different circumstances tangible . 
the social acted as redressing the most harmful effects of economic policies . 
the proposal submitted originally by the commission would have been much better unamended - congratulations , commissioner . 
this is an ambitious agenda . i can still remember what we have made laboriously in social protection in the last parliamentary term . 
i think that this will be very positive and it easier for women to reconcile family and work . 
i sometimes get the impression that , in the concept of modernisation , people often think to strip the welfare of its content . 
what are the fundamental elements of the content ? 
it is still difficult to define european objectives that are equally applicable to all member states , given that there is a fact diverse . 
49 amendments were tabled by the commission . 
it is therefore important that we provide guarantees of the opportunity for will non-governmental organisations to influence this process . 
another point is that the community has to do more in the assessment of needs on the other initiatives , including , if necessary , adaptation of legislation and equal opportunities and the fight against discrimination . 
it is not as good ideas and fine plans to achieve equality are lacking in the past , but their implementation has often failed . 
it is not acceptable for the voice of women is accaparée by a handful of professional in the & # x02bc ; s lives with the perfusion of public money . 
equality of men and women into civilian life , which allows women to benefit fully from human rights and fundamental freedoms . 
i look to players male interested finally and that they are fighting for stereotypes have been added and of roles between the sexes superseded . 
but i think we should be grateful to have followed this debate , because its presence was not foreseen during this debate . 
competition policy 
we must offer our companies the best possible circumstances allow them to organise their production and , above all their future . 
they must have more choice of of high-quality products sold at competitive prices . this is , ultimately , the reason why we need to promote the single market , while free competition , because it is for all our citizens . 
it is about the decision to grant or not to grant national aid in coal . 
point 16 of the riis-jørgensen report talks about the concern to improve legal certainty at the request for mergers and making it more efficient and more rapid timetables applicable to appeal procedures . 
in any event , there is rail companies which have their force no to a fine management , but the views of monopoly past and present . 
we need to be more closely involved in the public information on competition policy , so as to recognise the benefits . 
they have a considerable effect on employment and regional policy , and i want it understood in future , so that this aid , aid home , which have implications for regional development and the economies of the regions , where the transport assaulting serve as a model type , to be able to continue . 
this communication contains three important points . 
i should also like to thank mr evans for her excellent report on the legislation in areas such as state aid for the steel industry and to the eighth european commission report on state aids in the european union . 
so i would like to reassure mrs palacio and mr karas , as well as other speakers in this area , and telling them that the regulation takes account of their concerns . 
otherwise we servirions our goal , namely its growth and consumers , in a way perverse . 
the joint debate is closed . 
the mechanism for financing is the application of article 119 of the ec treaty , which remains in place for the third stage of the economic and monetary union only for the member states that are not joining the single currency . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , it is good that we can continue talking today about the proposal for a council directive amending directive 68 / 193 / eec on the marketing propagating material végétative of vines , and i hope that tomorrow 's vote is a good thing . 
some of them were launched , on 5 july , the call for beaune , where they are all their concern about the introduction of gmos in their job . 
the rules that they predict that there are also in favour of the production of a physical vegetable heterogeneous by providing the best ways sanitary and this is very important and support efficiently the restructuring of vineyards community-spirited , focal points of the new com vini-viticole . 
it should be made absolutely clear that there was no need to gaver articles of the directive of references to directive 90 / 220 being reviewed , except in trying to promote trying to force in vines gene technological manipulation . 
i am pleased to inform you that we can accept further amendments nos 35 to 40 , tabled by mr graefe zu baringdorf , which aim to improve the implementation of the safety requirements and management enshrined in the directive 220 / 90 . 
i should just like to point out that parliament has not been asked to comment as such . 
madam president , this is about paragraph 14 of the minutes of the request for waiver of parliamentary immunity of our colleague pacheco pereira . 
i will be more specific on qualified majority . 
on the weighting of votes and the two main celebrated also remain on the table : weighting caps on which a slight , very slight , much has been confirmed , either double majority , but with various alternatives , both simple-majority vote or repondérée or some sort of ' fillet demographics ' . 
moreover , without prejudice to the assessment of needs and coordination of economic assistance and financial in the federal republic of yugoslavia , which will be given up jointly with the commission , and in the world bank and the european council in biarritz decided to take in the federal republic of yugoslavia unprecedented humanitarian aid to eur 200 million . 
but do you see , ladies and gentlemen , if i had to say spontaneously and cordially my assessment , as i say this : either the sensitive nature of these issues - composition of the commission and voting system - it is not on this basis will we be able to measure the failure or the success of nice . 
affirmative also had the approval of the heads of state and government of the charter of fundamental rights , but i must nonetheless remind you , mr president-in-office , reason which has made this agreement possible . 
as we do not want to die within the boredom the spirit of nice , our key priority for the 50 days that remain will step up the talks at political level . 
and here i would also like to address meps of the european people 's party - and i ask mr poettering , to hear me , because what we are defending here , we should defend it out . 
as far as we know about the results achieved by the heads of government and chairpersons in biarritz on issues highly sensitive to reform the treaty , the charter will probably be the most wonderful success of nice . 
the council would really expectations voluntary europe-wide by launching a great perusal of the people and the national parliaments , enabling us to reach a charter replying bothers to requirements . 
we therefore need to launch an appeal to everyone to return to the roots of our union , have the courage which have taken place giscard d ' estaing and mr schmitt in deciding to the election by universal suffrage in the european parliament in 1976 and in 1979 and decide what 2009 we will have finally a president of the european union , like to make . 
i would also , in this respect , respond to what was said by mr poettering on the rift between large and small countries . 
i have just returned from a word simply on matters of external trade policy , because it is something quite considerable . 
this is really something of much-valued issues raised by members of the european council . 
another positive point was the adoption of the charter as a whole . 
further , i think that on this crucial issue for the future of the european union and its decision-making procedures and biarritz marked elements and we can only welcome that . 
i hope we can still convince , progress and to prevail here at nice . 
i cite two examples . firstly , we have gone the right to work with the right to work and , secondly , a number of fundamental social rights contained in the social protocol readjusted the council of europe are not in the charter . 
it is clear from the debates taking place throughout europe , including those in biarritz , for the member states the greatest efforts partially to press the smallest member states to reform the european union according to the policy pursued by the the larger countries as well as and when desires . 
the dissatisfied with the two sides bear this out to the negotiators they would give lifts towards a proper balance . 
the leaders of europe have not made a clear vision . 
the commission structured on criteria of representing each state betrays a view tad visionary . 
we would then have a centralised union , which would leave the smaller countries less influence that the system of bicamérisme us simply also offers the provinces of small . 
after the summit in sharm-el-sheikh and where everyone involved were present for found with all the result of the problem of violence and re-establish dialogue between barak and president arafat , we are aware , though there is quite a few where it seemed to be successful , it is extremely difficult to contain the violence . 
bad informateurs , of course , turn out to mr barón something that is not true relating to italy and by my party . 
it is important that we can make progress in matters of taxation of energy in europe . literacy underwent blockage total so far as a result of the principle of unanimity . 
we cannot allow unfolds the situation in which the smaller states in viendraient to fear a drift towards solutions to directorat . 
i believe that the convention has produced an excellent job and i am proud to have been able to count amongst its members . 
in the latter case , it is going to say when function reductions in the rotation soberly egalitarian between large and small . 
the extension to real issues of qualified majority voting and codecision , preservation of article 250 as it stands today , the place and the commission 's role in intensified cooperation , not only on the first pillar : these are some details to enable us to judge instantly if there is , ultimately , foil and success . 
mr president , thank you , mr jacques and to start by jacques delors , and i would like to thank altiero spinelli and to fernand herman , thank you all , of vaclav havel in carlo ciampi , of joschka fischer in jacques chirac , of michel barnier to pierre moscovici , of chris patten on costa simitis , passing through florence , and by the myriad of current meps who have taken up in 1999 , the general trend towards a european constitution . 
are not criticising too the european market , and it is a socialists , which telling you this : it has given us greater wealth for all . 
accordons-nous at least in relation to this objective , and because we do that , say how will this happen . 
mr president , i had the pleasure to note that in substance , the proposals presented recently at the intergovernmental conference are along the same way as all or part of the criteria that i have outlined . 
mr president , commissioner , rapporteurs , ladies and gentlemen , you want us to have , this morning , a debate on the issues on which parliament deemed it necessary to complete its opinion on the intergovernmental conference she gave last april . 
thus , while respecting the constitutional framework exists , it seems to me difficult - i say that , to permit more than an advisory procedure of the opinion of parliament during the outbreak . 
as you know , this requires us to make some political choices and for a cable far greater than the rule of three requirements laid down highest . 
i myself have stressed that the formula retained for the charter is an avenue to explore . 
but i understand that beyond the aspect linguistically , your question hid these a further concern . 
that is why i want to thank you , and in general terms and in terms of form , with the initiative which you have taken . 
the establishment of closer cooperation should not lead to the creation of new institutions which viendraient added to the union 's institutions . 
it is time to revising the treaties . 
the rejection of the european council to incorporate the charter of fundamental rights of the european union in the founding treaties and that we must make that quite legally binding and permit in this way the citizens whose rights would not have been adhered to recourse to the european court of justice and weakens this consensus unimpeded . 
otherwise it is does not meet the europe of citizens in my view . 
paragraph 8 . the basic treating and i quote , ' questions left open ' . 
nobody has yet been able to tell me what would have changed since then . 
secondly , in relation to the agenda insufficient , who has left aside for question particular importance for the future of the european union and the interests of citizenship . 
mr president-in-office , you tell people that on the eve of the revolution bolchevique - something which should be devastating throughout the world - the orthodox church russian had been plunged into a debate complexes on a style clothing for ceremony to pay for the carême . 
it is therefore imperative that the cooperation give any guarantees that was recommended ruffalo , to be open to all , in compliance with the spirit of the treaties , and that they do not go beyond the limits of the acquis communautaire . 
there is a point which i should like to emphasise that we do not think it is right to demand or to give priority to the way of referendum obligatory in all member states to the approval of the proposed amendments . 
we have had a very lively debate on two issues , which may be different , meet with a figure . 
we are prepared to make sure that it will be voting at its meeting in november , so that the text will be adopted in the french presidency . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
that means ' the introduction of the possibility of retire incrementally via part-time work ' , so that it is a threat to the pensionable age , however , far too high in many countries ? 
everyone knows that pensioners , such as children , like jam . 
i asked to pensioners who gave me mandated here in parliament , with the pensioners ' party is that they plairait to drink wine genetically modified . 
also , for exemption , to put on the market propagating material standard when it needs cannot be covered by other categories . 
so i ask you , mr president , the variations in labour costs do not constituent-elles , for that reason , too limitation to free competition within the european union ? 
it was therefore inevitable that we shall be voting against this report . 
despite the measures in favour of greater deregulation within the european union and the state aid still have a constructive role to play in the social and economic development . 
this aid may be necessary to protect the environment and the maintenance of public services and the guarantee of a reduction in income equal to the inhabitants of the geographically disadvantaged regions . 
we emphasized the risk , following the adoption of the control of the eu on state aid is important - to see this in targeting the aid of a small amount , citing competition faced by smes . 
section vi - economic and social committee 
if we are asking the échéanciers implementing the budget for categories 2 and 3 , 4 and 7 , we see that only an average of 8 % of the commitments are covered by payments . 
three years ago , we are wrestled via our initiative for jobs in helping small and medium-sized enterprises in obtaining of risk capital . 
parliament wants to do this in two ways . 
this is the only way that the european institutions fulfil their duties . 
i welcome the opportunity to thank the vice-president responsible for the budgetary issue , mr gerhard schmid , for its constructive cooperation . 
we would like the commission is able to work but we cannot allow it to be the place where the european parliament 's demands , as part of the budgetary authority , which have as little as addresses . 
this means that the 2001 is the last year 's budget unadulterated and it is against that background that we must assess the commission 's proposal and one we are proposing to parliament . 
we also want to that we should look at administrative expenditure . 
since 1985 - i repeat eighty-five - the committee on budgets in the european parliament is trying to ensure that the european parliament take into account the financial implications of the resolution that vote by parliament . 
in conclusion , mr president , i should like to thank the other institutions for their prompt action in dealing with this joint resolution . 
you are being asked today to give your opinion on a budget which was already amended at first reading by the council . 
on the structural policies : the amount of structural actions has generally been perpetuated by comparison with the 2000 budget . 
the council 's attitude towards revising the financial perspectives is tranquillity . 
when you look at these key figures , we see that there are still considerable differences in terms purely quantitative but also , of course , in terms of content . 
here i must point out that , last year and a new decision was taken with the council after a long debate and i have little hope to be able to start this debate . 
the financial perspective agreed in berlin for the period demotic until 2006 foresaw 8 ,1 billion euros for the meda programme . 
i would therefore ask the council and to the committee on budgets to think in terms of foreign policy and not just in terms of budgetary policies , when they are concerned with foreign policy . 
the second concerns aid to victims violations of human rights in need of treatment in the institutions specialised . 
if a compromise solution suited to support the work of the committee on economic and monetary affairs were to be growing at the time left to us , we supposed to sort this out . otherwise , the position of the commission remains open . 
we only have to remind us of this every day on the generate our jobs from television and the fact that the middle east is going through a difficult time . 
i therefore hope that they will after all , in tomorrow 's vote , in the majority required for the monitoring centre in dublin . 
mr president , on behalf of the committee on agriculture and rural development , i would like to make some points of view of embarking on rural development . 
we asked the approval of a lenders shortlist of eur 2 million for an information campaign on the cfp . 
the european commission should negotiate with the arguments of weight to arrive at a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and the governments concerned need for their part lend political support for these negotiations . 
we see today the 2001 budget , bearing in mind images of the serbian people . 
overall , we should like to see these amendments are adopted . 
however , an important way in which citizens can ensure that their concerns are taken into account has to be mentioning the ombudsman , or the sending of a petition to parliament . 
let me begin by referring to the budget of this house . 
as a surprise to many of my delegation , we have , in early september , as established unanimously a platform strategically . for example , the 400 amendments made by previous speakers have formed a surprise to many of us in the committee on budgets . 
it is difficult to imagine how new posts could solve the problem of management should , in the commission and the council , it is more procedures complex of another age who are being used to implement many programmes . 
in recent years this parliament has repeatedly shown that there relied its work on a thrift real . 
it is unacceptable to , for years , a very vague in terms of commitments and of the re-state regularly if it is to say , when it comes to make their accounts and that enough is enough for us and that we must now restricting on our promises . 
if we do not imagine that some ill-judged million over these lines , and we cannot little else - and we agiterons a carrot , these should be withdrawn if these people are given real needs . 
as the budget for last year , the 2001 budget was facing problems practically insoluble ; firstly , the pressures on the consolidation and a policy of austerity , as agreed in the interinstitutional agreement , to guarantee the financing of enlargement ; on the other hand , the need blatantly obvious to finance the stability pact for south-eastern europe . 
demand for more performances also calls for more staff . 
the adoption of this amendment , in the original , could begin to change the situation , but the majority of the committee on budgets has rejected the idea . 
and here too , unfortunately , there are many other examples : the treatment privileged afforded to combinations of the federalist or the many ngos in the officiating , with the philosophy and the operation of the most controversial and the financing of european political parties , passing through the amounts englouties within the prince programme , to try to persuade the citizens of the member states of the merits of the euro at a time when the single european currency is a loss of confidence largely shared by the european people 's friends dane until the leaders of the european central bank . 
finally , mr heaton-harris has rightly pointed out , in the amendments that have been proposed and the one-sided and many european programmes in the middle whom it serves as a whole propaganda for the citizens on european integration , due to their own expense , more correctly . 
furthermore , our administrative systems must be modernised and so we should set a good example . 
the meda programme , which deals with the mediterranean basin and geographical area in the most important strategic and provides a good example of lack of capacity to implement . 
when we consider to be reductions or take money on category 4 for giving resources to certain priority and we must not forget what the priorities of the house . we have shown that only clearly during the vote in committee . 
this amount has to be the subject of a clarification . 
thank you , mr wynn . 
this means , just as there are real issues flexibility to move forward on this or that policy , even if someone is not , or refuse , and what applies to the countries of the european union applies to the candidate countries . 
i believe that austria has not to complain about what has happened - quite the opposite . 
the recommendations of the regional organisations and findings of the neighbouring countries may contribute to the definition of the funds . 
in 1984 , 0.2 % of owners colombians had 32 % of the earth . 
the council is not to mention one or other aspect of this issue , which is extremely delicate and painful . 
at the same time , there is also unable commence as having a debate on issues which are , once again , an extremely complicated . 
question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : 
so i will not attempt well to give a definitive answer on this difficult issue . 
however , we have the feeling , and your answer to this somewhat , as the council presidency is not very proactive in dealing with this matter . 
therefore , earnings from this tax is obviously not null and void . 
i equally the apologise , but we are to apply the rules of procedure . 
if one side or for room has remained silent , so that we have dealt with these issues previously and in our opinion it is pointless to return to a number of occasions over the same issues in this house when our time is valuable . 
furthermore , in anticipation of adopting this directive on the prevention of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies . this decision to withdraw from the material hazardous with regard to these diseases was adopted in june 2000 , in order to resolve any further progress in the epidemic and to provide consumers with the level of health protection as large as possible . 
i have no other points that i was able to give you just now . 
we are monitoring and we are well aware of the work of the commission and council on the erika package .1 . however , with regard to this paragraph , which are known of both countries and known within the european union , which is an essential particularly difficult , borrowed from on high boats to gain a few hours , with the risk of that old tankers added stray and lead to disaster , i would like to know , and especially those living in corsica , to have liked to know sardaigne , will it be possible unless you plan to ban simply converting the mouths of bonifacio with these large vessels and those jumbo containers . 
that is why i believe we must , in principle , support the commission 's proposals for reforming the policy on personnel . 
we must inject new money into the budget for serbia and kosovo . 
i hope , mr president , i shall conclude by that , when there is definitely scrapping the lines of the budget of eur 50 million to finance the peace agreement israel / plo . 
that is why we propose , in the european parliament , additional measures which will serve little to seek further financial support - and we know that the current financial makes this impossible - to consolidate new interinstitutional agreement which will improve the quality of expenditure and ensure that no euro being wasted . 
please bear in mind that in european policy , as anywhere else , the options mild ever-increasing sometimes to be majority . 
it is designed to complicate rather than to guidance , and i was disappointed by the attitude adopted today focusing on activity-based budgeting . 
the fact that we ventiler expenditure depending on the activities enables us to consider the budget as an instrument of policy in which the division of expenditure reflects the political priorities explicit . 
we must find a solution multi-annual to avoid , year after year , reviewed every time how we might find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . 
those interested development of a sustainable agriculture will know , the dynamic plant at the recent reform , as it was agreed in berlin , ' shifts ' constantly for helping the raw materials in direct support for farmers ' incomes . 
a budget , ladies and gentlemen , is always much more than a little danced to figures . 
finally , it is immoral , mr president , to make cuts in agricultural policy , for the meda programme and for the deprived social , in order to provide the resources to fund the tasks of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . 
clearly , we must avoid a situation that the serbian population does suffers from the cold and hunger in the winter . 
furthermore , i would like to express my concern that different youth parliaments input into the socrates programme . 
of course , we must also be clear to the council that it bears a share of responsibility for its part inadequacy of certain external programmes . 
we shall have to make a stable solution regarding aid , especially when it comes to their long-term planning in the western balkans . 
i believe that most people would be prepared to accept such costs , provided that the money is used to good effect . 
i share the concerns and argumentation that the rapporteur , mrs rühle and has raised this evening in research and on the social assistance . 
two weeks ago , on the jpa acp . 
equally , we want the budgetary resources are being invested in the allocated to research and information , to look for alternative production to tobacco producers concerned . 
let me make it clear that the european union has had the effect most direct and a more positive than you can imagine on northern ireland and . 
in this model , compliance with the rules and procedures is covered by an independent authority and , in the final analysis , by judges . 
it gives us and for the first time a codecision procedure at first reading on something extremely complex and riddled with technical difficulties , which is about a sector particularly sensitive to the protection of civil liberties . 
it is quite a positive development that there has not met with a single authority their respective duties . 
do we know that for example the schengen system has been more than ten million sheets of close to one and a half million people , that europol sees its skills constantly broadened and involves centralisation information from various investigation departments of the fifteen member states and that , as the sole control for an authority which neither the competence nor the resources are available to enable it to do out-and-out another task . 
that said , i welcome the presence of commissioner to say that it would seem appropriate to consider not only for the protection of citizens with regard to the new technologies , but also on the use of ict in promoting the capacity of the citizens of europe to intervene and to interact with regard to the european institutions . 
amendments nos numérotés 1 , 2 , 4 , 10 , 12 % and 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 and 60 to 64 ,000 flare up at the council text to the points on which the commission can agree . 
naturally , so that its opinion on the legislative proposals involving the protection of personal data will be very valuable because it will be an important contribution to the debate legislative between the institutions . 
the treaty acknowledges the outlying regions an economic and social situation eventful and aggravated by disabilities sectional whose permanence and the combination bore very detrimental to the development of these regions . 
it will help and for the promotion of economic and social progress with a high level of employment . 
so i congratulate mrs sudre and we look forward to the rules of application of the commission 's proposals to be taken into account the specific shortly , in accordance with article 299 ( 2 ) of the treaty of amsterdam . 
for many europeans , some outermost regions are mere tourist destinations at the map . 
our unemployment figures are among the highest in the european union . 
i am pleased that the committee adopted by a large majority the amendments which i tabled . 
it is very important , in my opinion , that the ultraperipheral regions are integrated into the trans-european networks transport , energy and telecommunications . 
the adoption and unanimously people in the committee on regional policy , the report presented by our colleague margie sudre is a demonstration of the accuracy of the european parliament with one of his promise the most important . 
we are debating a set of circumstances and imagine from the point ideal and idyllique - let us call it that - has been achieved , we will not have to take further steps in dealing with these three areas and particularly in remote areas that we are talking about . 
this article , ladies and gentlemen means we must not to do all this , but we strengthens and then i think it is necessary , to extend and improve our performance . 
on the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , the commission works , of course , with the member states and the regions concerned . 
in these areas , we know , there is lastingly difficulties and i believe , therefore , objectively speaking , depending on the real state of development , they will need lastingly the support of the regional policy and of special measures . 
a meeting of this kind could once again be organised in the course of the year 2001 , when we are most advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . 
the presidency has stated that it is debate and i agree entirely . 
i believe that parliament does well to bear this in the present rules because , as stated by another speaker , very often , in fact , it is not the machines which did not work , but the members who have forgotten to vote on , if you could correcting a vote then we would end up ever . 
i am quite clearly that i eating . 
in short , commissioner , as well as the authority , it is important that the commission services responsible , jointly and in coordination with member states , establishes a system of controls homogenous and effective throughout the food chain and that the network of laboratories food in the european union should be strengthened and works in conjunction with the commission . 
we must avoid any duplication in terms of activities and research scientist , including cooperation with the research centres national and community . 
today we are talking about a white paper and we were keen to find some basic principles . 
now , these procedures have been amended and changed and we have our own national food safety agency and the food standards agency . 
finally , we will also support a number of new amendments , in particular amendments nos 11-13 , 7-9 and we hope to have a vote in conscience about amendment no 14 . 
in this context , let me say straight away that food safety stands or falls on the organization which authorities of stringent controls - controls which are more rigorously than the weakest link . 
it is clear from the work on this question is how superficial and swipe our debate on the political unification of europe . 
are transferring therefore to a european authority of food safety coercion experience scientist , together with our national agencies . 
if you are making the list of the spread of key areas of origin foodstuffs which afflicting europe at present , most did in fact the first outbreak in america . 
but it is vital to specify the conditions of referral to the european food safety authority to ensure effective action and quickly . 
we should also emphasise , as well as some speakers , especially mr whitehead , mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is not so much a new regulatory framework within the european union . 
mr president , i feel today both satisfaction and credit , firstly focusing on the commission has started its work in favour of better food safety , and also to mr bowis and all of the committee on the environment , public health and consumer policy . 
amendment no 17 is particularly important . it provides that the plea council to consumer organisations . 
another aspect is the review falling standards in labels , both for the sale broadly and at the moment ; revising system which is at last , thanks to the traceability of products and their ingredients and accurate information to consumers and allows the establishment of responsibility projected where there is a danger or a crisis . 
in my opinion , the development of new legislation is not a positive response to the non-observance of existing legislation . 
during the vote in committee , we managed to strike a certain balance by putting in the field of application issues relating to the nutrition and other references are crucial for the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in saving in eating habits . 
mr president , i would like to join my colleagues in congratulating the rapporteur , mr bowis , for his very constructive approach and very logic of this particular issue . 
mr president , the fact that the white paper on food safety has no legal value does not detract from the dual value it is of signify . 
the rapporteur as well as many people here in the commission , including myself , have stressed the food authority , in fact it is somewhat regrettable . 
the independence and autonomy of the instrument is the attractions that serve to best interest of european consumers . 
i have said many times , along the same time , we have been lucky with the rapporteur 's choice . 
mr president , i would like to congratulate our colleague mr bowis for being genuinely tried to incorporate all these points of view in his report , particularly for accepting that we référions also to the concept of a more general nutrition . 
in short , the political will shirking its responsibilities . 
but above all , we must win the respect of peer review and public confidence and persuade the governments of member states to accept its findings . 
that is how i see a future european food safety authority . 
there is the world health organisation in geneva . 
i am not hiding either , that in the white paper , i voted against the creation of such an authority . 
we therefore need to ensure that the european union has the highest possible standards of food safety , but this viewpoint - universally shared - must also analysing the economic consequences this entails for areas covered by a longing for production . 
the tasks of the agency will then be as follows : research independent scientific and consultation , inspections and controls self-employment as well as an early warning system , but certainly also a coordinating role in order to restore confidence . 
incidentally , i would say to the speakers who have referred to the question of the need to be sensitive to the promotion of local products and traditional that this issue falls under the legislation on hygiene . 
this climate consensual facilitates the work of the commission when it is time to present a balanced proposal which takes account of maximum opinions expressed by parliament and by all member stakeholders in the field of food safety . 
the fact is that it was in recent years one of the driving forces which carried out and political points of view , for the signing of the ottawa convention . 
i reiterate my opposition to the amendments 10 and 19 to the concerns of coherency budgets and , with regard to amendment no 29 , i call on you to vote in blocks so that we have an improved wording of the text blighted for me to problems of interpretation 
that raises a question one : the european union and in particular the commission must do everything to ensure that those countries that did not yet been signed the ottawa convention . 
. ( de ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know the impact of anti-personnel mines , although they are often in special cases of justifications military important . 
it is he who raised for the first time in 1996 , the question of a budget line horizontal and the creation of an adequate legal basis to provide a platform common to all the many actions undertaken in this important area . 
but i cannot hide the fact that the persuasion of the european union to achieve this objective runs somewhat behind the reluctance of some member states which fail to sign and ratify the convention . 
mine action is becoming ever more effective if it can adapt to the conditions subject to every situation . 
parliament will know there are already too , and thanks to our proposals for reform of eu aid from outside , we hope we shake off the severity of the control of individual projects and focusing our debates with the member states of strategies and programmes world-wide . 
ngos have mushroomed to meet the needs , and yet we must recognise that some 4 years after the first un conference on landmines which took place in geneva and over a year after the entry into force of the ottawa convention , many countries and thousands of people in the world , often in the poorest regions and continue to suffer the terrible consequences of antipersonnel landmines and the unexploded ordnance . 
the commission needs to improve both the quality of its programmes and the speed of their implementation . 
however , i think that if you are parcourez again on very carefully , and you will see that there are several other amendments which you mentioned that , in my opinion , relate to awareness campaigns , on transparency and on access reserved for ngos and to things which are very successful at the moment but that might still operating more effectively . 
mrs bonino and mr patten has also right in stating that the council and parliament should not be about the administrative questions , and i was interested to hear the remarks of mr patten on this point , because it puts clearly that we should certainly not concern ourselves with them . 
mr president , a long time ago that our group intervening actively on the whole range of applications and the necessary steps , since the pause for production and the destruction of stocks and stopping sales , up to the clearance of mines rehabilitation and awareness . 
the states and to support a process in international forums . 
landmines are clearly a major obstacle to the reconstruction of these countries and the return of refugees . 
with the rate at which we are , as was said earlier , we need much more than a hundred years to rid the world antipersonnel mines . 
the third sector is specific action to propose , to monitor and execute . 
for all children that we protect in bosnia , in africa and elsewhere in death or the horrendous injuries resulting from the mines and the efforts we give all are justified . 
we must ensure pressure on the countries of the european union which have not signed , such as finland , or who have not ratified , such as greece . 
ladies and gentlemen , look finland ! 
finally , we hope that future tasks of the common eu military force prévoiront training of technicians , especially for people who have an interest in the disappearance of local mines . 
we do not emphasise also that the list of countries most seriously affected is mainly made up of developing countries . 
the european parliament 's proposals will not be more in keeping with the lisbon objectives . 
the rapporteur , mrs van lancker and hope that parliament decides to amend the commission 's proposal , mainly by adding some areas where legislation is acceptable , and secondly , in drawing up a number of rights at european level . 
thus , the luxembourg process , which relates to the employment policy and should be extended to cover social protection and to social exclusion . 
the most superpowers such as germany , france and great britain and to some extent , italy , are all agreed to submit to their domination small countries of eastern europe and the south applying for membership of the european union . 
however , we feel for legal reasons , that is right to refer now to article 6 of the ec treaty , because it has not been formally adopted within the convention , because of its structure , and there is no question of the legal status . 
we believe that the inclusion of a new text into the treaties could lead to confusion on legal affairs . 
furthermore , the rapporteur echoes of the new theory currently popular in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union : that of citizens represented by the european parliament and the member states represented by the council . 
the social democrats swedes and danes have today voted against the report by mr olivier duhamel on the constitutionalising the treaties . 
it is essential that the european union is moving towards a constitution which incorporates the charter of fundamental rights . 
a constitution would only make sense if it was a democratic framework of a genuine european federation , on the united states of europe . 
he has said having understood , along with many of the politicians , we would rather govern our relations with other countries by an international treaty . 
. ( en ) i welcome the report by mr duhamel as an interesting and constructive contributions to the idea of the constitutionalising the treaties . 
they believe that a rearrangement and simplification of the treaties would enable the people a better grasp of the area of responsibility of the eu and its limitations , and the procedures for the implementation of responsibility in question . the charter of fundamental was drafted on the basis of an agreement involving national parliaments and the european parliament and government representatives . 
up to the treaty of amsterdam in 1997 , europe is an super trade union intergovernmental . 
the edd group voted against the report gil delgado on increased cooperation . 
it manifesto because the concept of a union intolerably monolithic , where all the cooperation should be expressed inside the ' single institutional framework ' , and where they would all be directed towards the goal of the superstate . 
we therefore need to avoid to slow down the road to the whole and thus allow some member states to forge ahead with the mechanism of closer cooperation . 
structures operational single-market have always been a success for the early 1990s . 
. ( nl ) cooperation at european level can be useful to counteracting cross-border problems . 
these areas could be a fantastic laboratory for sustainable development . 
the technocrats , european judges and wanted that delete " the granting of seas ' which feeds into our common resources of the french overseas departments and in particular protects our craftsmen . 
however , france has had overseas territories in the indian ocean and in the caribbean . 
its independence will be an essential factor in its credibility . 
our vote was therefore clarify the role and composition of the future european monopolies , while also assuring our demands regarding the financing and its independence . 
secondly , the european agency to be completely independent . 
we must take account of the type of farming practice and agro-industrial and problems of imports of goods eating and in the composition of the ingredients of feedingstuffs and the maximum levels of dioxins and residues of pesticides , components eating and others , by giving priority to food safety . 
we voted for amendment no 3 because we are greatly concerned with the defence of europe 's cultural heritage connected with local food production . 
there is room in almost no category . 
we should also like to inscribe 50 % of the budget line and put 50 % in reserve . 
i note here that there are other proposals are designed to reduce the budget . 
report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) by mrs haug , on behalf of the committee on budgets on draft general budget of the european union for the 2001 section iii - commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) 
madam president , i would like appear signatory of certain amendments to this report . 
( parliament adopted the resolution ) 
the real sting in the budget relates to external expenditure where dominates selfishness and small-mindedness . 
other resources could be made available by means of the flexibility instrument . 
i voted against the haug report , similarly , i voted in favour of my group 's motion for rejection of the general budget for 2001 . 
we refer in particular of the new pilot project which will fund the effects of information in the course of combating paedophilia . 
this shows , if i may say so , the lack of motivation created by the european project , even amongst the citizens politically active . 
20-30 % of the market will once again being offered to competition privatized . 
since this is not guaranteed in the report , i voted against the report . 
if we combines the low unacceptable limits nationally , which décime premiums , with the proposed cuts quantities of withdrawal , 50.5 % for the citrus fruit and 8.5 % for the apples and pears and the 10 % for the rest of fruit and vegetables on the volume exhortation to the market - you can see that , in large quantities of processed products based on fruit and vegetables , there will be a satisfactory outcome for distribution . this would be outcome overall lower prices , the putréfaction products in the fields and in installations of conditioning cooperatives , thereby forcing farmers to déterrer what they have ecology . 
i voted for this report because it meets the expectations of organisations portuguese sector horticulture and fighting for a change draconian of the com in fruit and horticultural products taken profoundly damaging for national interests . 
report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) 
it is also rooted in the sacrifice of all , and for all that , even in the quality of environmental and climate , on the altar of capitalist exploitation of resources and profit-enhancement disproportionate . 
the richest countries had decided at kyoto to cater for cleaning up their own atmosphere , even if it they were also like to limits so strict , to put on their own catalogue of results reductions in emissions they are helping to achieve elsewhere . 
. combat the greenhouse effect is of great importance for the industrialised countries , including a duty towards the nations of the third world who are paying back in their lives implications of global warming . 
the way to succeed is to be there to wisely . 
we also need to protect and enhance the effort oriented towards the detectability of substances suspected of our fellow abandoning endocrine disrupters - perhaps in a legal framework . 
consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises are missing out yet at the internal market , which the introduction of euro dedicates completion . 
furthermore , they have so far obliged the banks to communicate cross-border payments of over eur 12 500 to their national bank for the purpose of statistics in the balance of payments . 
these companies will obviously need to satisfy the needs of the identical in matters of safety and laundering . 
we even cognisance of situations where transaction costs for cross-border payments rose after the introduction of the euro , due to an extent non-negligible . 
the european central bank could contribute by imposing a formula for transfer standardised for payments at european level , and that with the introduction of a uniform standard for the numbering of financial accounts in the international system iban . 
it is important that consumers acceptance of the euro . 
madam president , the report by mrs peijs , relating to payments of detail in the internal market , recapitulates the old demand by the european parliament on the high cost of cross-border transfers within the european union . 
the peijs report on says in recital of the draft resolution and i quote : ' the high costs related to cross-border credit transfers undermine consumer confidence in the euro ' . 
we therefore have a lot to do here , but on this issue , resources and means of polices are more limited than we can do about this issue of payments in detail in the internal market . 
the market of the euro is seen as an area interior and people do not understand why , in this area , where the risks inherent in exchange are void and where electronic payments , especially the bank transactions via the internet , are increasingly currents and a transfer from munich and salzburg costs much more than a transfer from munich and kiel . 
this objective will require further and to you and to us and for many years of work . 
we will use sauce for the opportunity to consider the shorter time implementational cross-border payments as the report by mrs peijs entreat . 
the debate is closed . 
it seems a good policy to favour a pragmatic approach and local facilities , which places entrepreneurship at the heart of device , rather than a proposal which , disguised as to avoid the topping up and would serve only to produce more accurate statistics whose use practical is quite impossible . 
specifically , i have three comments with regard to this programme . 
let us remember that the first action programme in this area was adopted in 1983 , in other words , there is seventeen year-olds . 
furthermore , i have always sought to achieve these objectives through an effective political and pragmatic . 
i would say that they are real economic and commandos were to blame for innovation and situated on the front line and extremely vulnerable to risks inherent in this area . 
we will have to take into account the results of the work of the symposium ' science and governance ' held last week in brussels , under the aegis of the centre of foresight technological seville and follow-up of this meeting , because there are many interfering with the subject we are debating today . 
the rapporteur detail a number of priorities that will strengthen the spirit of european works . 
it is good for the image of europe because we can help the people of prompt and proper , expertly . 
mr president , i too wish to associate myself with thanks for the excellent work done by mrs montfort . 
the important thing is to strike a balance , to prevent people have already continuously at the expense of others . 
it is not fair , and i support this report . 
that is the guiding principle of a charter for small businesses . 
the programme will ensure that networks provide this information . 
it is clear that the main purpose of this plan is to put a stop emigration towards the countries of the european union and also to repatriate people who live illegally in the union . 
i emphasise , in particular the need for implementation of measures to improve internal security and strengthening dialogue between europe and the regional authorities to albania and , in relation to the commission and the council and the promotion of that particular actions in cooperation with the albanian authorities , italy and greece . 
the absence of reports social , economic and political , combined with the lack of safety and to organised crime coming out of the flow of migration mass . 
mr president , unlike my colleague mrs pack , i think is more than there are any groups who was will hold of albania , the better . 
it is clearly not possible to find an immediate solution to the issue as a whole , but in a slightly longer term , the aim is to create a world of fairness and good reason , it gives to the human safety and capacities of the future . 
there is a gulf between , on the one hand , donors , in other words , we all , europe and the united states , which donate money , which we should draw up proposals , and , secondly , the people working in this area . 
let us therefore bilateral agreements , which , quite rightly , clear and définiront work and the length of stay , the place of residence , remuneration and the hours and working conditions and social security , so that the immigrants and become a force that will depend economies of countries and help to friendship and cooperation between peoples and not to cultivation of , aspirations nationalists and worthy of the cold war . 
the men and women are re-exported though they were more or less well-established . 
priority must be given to ways of reducing influx of migrants or of refugees , but on how to improve the living conditions of the region so that people do not have to leave their homes . 
mr president , i too believe , as has rightly said marialiese dimitrakopoulos , which are still at the heart of what is the difficulty of albania - economic , social and internal security - the question we can help to restore the rule of law and to give security to its citizens and to restore the authority of its institutions and their local administrations . 
i agree with mr liese , and that we need to establish an equal distribution of the policy on asylum and refugee policy . 
the action plan for albania has been adopted in june this year , and it is therefore a sixth of its kind . 
there is , in the people , frustration diffuse , but also a self-knowledge of community law , we would like to ask this parliament and the other community institutions which will not shrink from small business cumbersome and to work with precision , to spare time and staff required for the performance of the tasks . 
in this report , we want to show people that we take seriously their claims related to the wishy-washy quality of legislation as well as those relating to regionalisation and to centralization excessive . 
the issue addressed is of course important , even if the small number of members present to debate it does not necessarily mean mudflats at first sight . 
in addition - and this is an essential point , the report raises the question of subsidiarity , which , tonight , raises the problem here . 
it would also be interesting to make a state of law and in the light of this principle , and making it simpler and more transparent and more efficient and more relevant to the débarrassant texts redundant , as the report calls on the paragraph 6 of the report . 
after studying the report very carefully and i have come to the conclusion that it does not even of a political principle on the principle theology . 
we therefore need to ensure recognising the principle of subsidiarity to the most minor communities and the realities self-sufficient , of training intermediaries , the memberships social - to the families and their citizens who are the only real sovereign for the work legislative and administrative . 
so i will give you a brief overview of the situation . 
i give the floor to commissioner . 
is an area where we should move towards full regulation , with a guarantee that it will be implemented in all areas or should be developed into a voluntary agreement , provided that it can be implemented and controlled ? 
. ( de ) i voted in favour of it , even if some of my amendments were not adopted , it is because it is also elaborates on the matter of high costs of exchange and to transfer to the euro zone . 
when , in some fifteen months , the same coins and notes will be introduced in eleven member states , there cost more money to buy the new currency outside the country in which we live . 
mr president , commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i would like to begin by saying that i regret that the commissioner for fisheries , mr fischler , cannot be with us today . 
it should encourage cooperation in fisheries and the moroccan fisheries sector and simultaneously satisfy fully the fishing interests of the european fleets . 
we are therefore reached an agreement to work in the context of a responsible partnership , upon which morocco will be presenting its views at a meeting later , as you pointed out , in brussels on 30 october , i.e. monday . 
a few weeks i have myself visited algeciras , on the south coast spaniard . this is not far morocco . 
over time , we have seen what they were not only difficult but also that they could become impossible . 
by means of fisheries agreements and the european union can exert of fishing activities and exchanging prerogatives fishing with third countries . 
i read in a journal technical swedish fisheries how one of these vessels land it adopted in el aaiún , which is described as a port moroccan . 
all this is tested , as is the whole of our fisheries agreements and not just with morocco as there is also mauritania and shortly guinea , amongst other things , which are second-guessed . 
it took eleven months to get to the point that turning where we are now , namely the meeting on 30 and in that respect , we also know valuing these latest measures taken by commissioner fischler , the result of his journey from 26 to morocco and the meetings held in high standards , including king itself . 
but i would like to convey to the commission today fittingly symbolised by commissioner busquin , messages very brief . 
i should like to ask the commissioner is this : if we cannot reach an agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is reached in the terms reported by the commission , an agreement as to encourage the production moroccan , the commission propose to take structural measures to compensate for the delay which will happen in the regions affected ? 
as foreseen , difficulties in negotiations with the moroccan authorities have been considerable . 
finally , in the case , regrettable , that the negotiations should fail , the european union has an obligation moral and political support for fishermen and owners with support satisfactory and which are able to allocate adequate resources for themselves . 
we must reduce the over-capacity of industrial fisheries community-related . 
we therefore need to speed up close economic and political relations with morocco , while championing simultaneously the interests of our european fishermen . 
that is why the commission is working on the basis of a new partnership for an interesting development both sides with : firstly , the development intact the fishing industry morocco and the fleet , aquaculture and processing trade , research and , secondly , the allocation of fishing opportunities for european fishermen . 
rights of language lecturers 
the difference is clear , and not just german-language . 
in july 1999 , the commission has brought this infringement proceedings before the court of justice . 
therefore , at least that we shall succeed in harmonize systems , which we hope , at the moment , the principle of subsidiarity must not allow anyone to switch to a discrimination which , far more likely , is the call for an privilege . 
we can certainly agree that the previous commission , that of mr santer , was not the best is the reason why it has gone . 
in the committee on legal affairs and the internal market of the entire european union and for all parties , have met to commit the european unwieldy and discussing human rights and to recommend the adoption of charters of rights if , in the event of a very real where people are deprived of their rights , there is nothing to ensure that these rights are recognised and respected and that is the problem in this case . 
this attitude is completely unacceptable in a modern europe . 
the field of education is obviously still of subsidiarity , but in the treaties and the free movement of workers and the prohibition of discrimination that are common to all , although we - in particular me because i come from a state very fédératif - we déclarions followers of the subsidiarity principle as the principle of the order of cooperation within the european union and that we undertake to ensure that the allocation of competences between the levels in europe are classified as soon as possible on the principle of subsidiarity . 
in this context , it can no longer be any discrimination . 
you , mr president-in-office , what would you do cared for by someone who is familiar with the terms surgical in italian , english , french , german , or by a surgeon ? 
( the sitting was closed at 10h56 ) 
we are showing our deepest 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 the committee on the third asiaeurope meeting , the council has informed us that it does not wish to speak at the moment . 
therefore , something which , according to the treaty and the euratom treaty that is the responsibility of the commission ; it concerns , or can apply , many citizens who are not only spaniards and there are , in that area and in that region , without there being any contingency plans , hundreds of thousands of european community of fifteen countries of the european union , and there is no mention of many people who live outside to exploit the costa del soil . 
madam president , it is a sad , although very revealing , to hear the interior minister of spain , mr mayor oreja and say that there is no sense in talking to the basque nationalist that , even if a new cease-fire was stated in the future . 
may i ask that we look at this week a commission statement on the british government 's decision to introduce a tax discriminatory for hauliers no british . 
given that the parties , as we do liberals and even europeans are tending increasingly to form an alliance with the forces of inspiration xenophobic and racist and arbitrary , i think it would be a serious hazard to italy but also a sign of something which affects the whole of europe . 
in my report , however , in severe criticism of the french proposal . 
these applications are expressed in amendments nos 2 and 4 of the karamanou report . 
the initiative by the french presidency that we are considering today is aimed at improving both treaties general legal assistance in criminal matters , which i have already mentioned - is in the field of fighting money laundering . 
it is fair to say that if the plan to combat money laundering has suffered a loss , it is not up to parliament , but of the council . 
we can only congratulate them on their work . 
naturally , the way forward , as stated by mr marinho , i can agree - is communitisation . 
all those who have spoken have agreed that there was a very good thing , and we support the content . 
what we want is that europol should operate across borders . 
these are facts that are too often in our europe of today and , before i give my support to the mutual recognition makeshift , i should like to see the mutual recognition of standards equitable . 
i realise that this will be difficult for us to build onwards of instruments sprayed . 
but it is also a need to intensify the economic aspects of the european union and this is the desire for citizens and that must be taken into account for the citizens of the european union have a right to security . 
in the european union , we must fight tenaciously combating money laundering , to be aware that we need a political cooperation and effective legal between member states , as effective as possible , particularly since the creation of the single market and the liberalization of capital markets and financial services . 
the council financially , there is nothing to suggest that advocate not exercising its profession itself . 
similarly , i would like to say that i am aware of the finesse from the point raised by various members of the conditions under which the confidentiality of the legal profession could provide a firm no grounds for judicial cooperation to combat money laundering . 
it is particularly true with regard to serious crimes and the most serious crimes of the cross-border . 
as a whole , the mission is so great and important it cannot be supported by the council alone . 
it follows that we need to strengthen the rights of citizens through an effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , particularly as regards its right to interpretation , and in its power to decide whether or not . 
therefore , although i am in favour of strengthening cooperation and coordination , i think that making this a legislative system would be wrong , and we are opposerions . 
the second point is also interesting . 
this is a welcome initiative , and it is to be welcomed that she receives such support in this house . 
i shall take this opportunity , as several speakers raised some very difficult questions - to say quite openly , as has just said carlos coelho and that this initiative is mainly as a first step which demonstrates the political will of the council of recovering the delay in existence on judicial cooperation , with regard to police cooperation . 
and that is why i think this is also an important instrument to guarantee that judicial control of europol . 
the action fair on the research activities in the field of agriculture and fisheries were brought under the fourth framework programme which has taken by from 1994 to 1998 . 
given the importance of the research programme for agriculture and fisheries , it is regrettable that the commission 's list a few problems in the organisation of the programme . 
the report by the court of auditors of the programme fair and led to the rapporteur 's report , it was published that in march this year even though the letters of branch of the audit had originally submitted by the commission in december 1998 and february 1999 . 
i would like , on behalf of the committee on fisheries , and highlight certain points . 
you have emphasized , which i thank you , spirit behind this report through dialogue with the court of auditors and the commission services and the interest which you have carried out . 
this shows that the commission has not been inactivates . and it is responding to comments you have put forward . 
turning to the question which mrs morgan asked concerning the recovery of sums . 
thank you , commissioner . 
the price will be delivered to the association is basta ya it during the part-session in december . 
i am firmly convinced that it also means , even if some heads of state and government should refuse to admit it , the opening of the constitutional process so often and if obstinément requested by this parliament . 
i am particularly pleased to be standing here today to discuss in detail of this wonderful plan that is the charter of fundamental rights of the european union , before you will have the final position of parliament on this text . 
i did , in my view , no doubt that this occasion . 
however , certain criticisms have been made regarding the content of the charter . 
i think it is something of a european point of view , important and i congratulate him . 
it was a great success for parliament , and the groups have done front on this point , which is something positive - and we have in sixteen members represent the european parliament in the convention . 
i believe that this charter is the big picture and that it may be , as the titrait a major european newspaper on 26 september the visiting card of europe . 
my group will therefore continues to believe that it is absolutely vital to include a reference to the charter in article 6 ( 2 ) of the treaty . 
many had whoever pensèrent that europe owned and the opportunity to get out of the single free-trade area and the european rut liberal-minded to lay the foundations of a citizens ' europe . 
at the nice summit in december , civil society has decided to take action to make its voice heard and proclaimed its desire for a charter affording proper safeguards for the citizens of europe . 
in that process , regardless of the signatures , it is essential that all countries and all political forces assaulting an effective use and the mirroring everyday . the charter is not cannot be amended . 
then weep or are prete
