we know very well that the current treaties not enough and that , in the future , will be necessary develop a better structure and different to the european union , a structure more constitutional that also be well clear the powers of the member states and what belong to the union . messages of concern firstly to the economic and social by the that we , and that to spite of a sustained , the result of years of effort for part of all europe . the current situation , unsustainable especially for many hauliers self-employed and for the sector of the agriculture , must improve it . in itself , is positive agree on the procedures , but we must ensure that this system is not likely to be used as weapon policy . now they have also clear the rights that must respect . i agree with the sign of warning against the return , the that some are tempted , to the intergovernmental methods . we are the many that we want a federation of nation states . the rapporteurs have said the quality of the debate and also the need to go further . naturally , only be with them . to these last say that , before of a statement to , is that learn , know and measure the forces of that is available , given that the speech must be realistic and political be always to the reality of the forces of the objectives and that we all are . i would like to began by this ' to put some examples of the new european order . the vote will take place today to 12.30 p.m . the commission cannot accept the amendment 12 . i will vote in favour of the adoption of the draft regulation . the reports of the court of auditors european not leave also point out of these subestimaciones , from greece to portugal . therefore , we have not voted for this report . according to their supporters , these buses not only are cheaper and versátiles internationally , but also more environmentally friendly with the environment because less fuel for use passenger . also calls for the values of reference to disseminate best practice in all the eu . a binding charter that includes all the cases possible and that spells out rights which taxation was absolutely legal raise difficulties later . i thank both his work . however , we believe that this cannot be concluded in nice in already of less than three months , for the already for this reason that we not support that the charter is including in the treaty in the summit of nice . - ( of ) the group of the european csu welcomes that in the project of this charter of fundamental rights is and to visible the fundamental rights that the citizens will maintain to the bodies and institutions of the eu . reflects the europe liberal that is . in fact , conciliation that this charter is withdraw to work in it , as many ngos of different countries of the union . ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) ) by mr queiró , on hungary [ com ( 1999 ) by eur 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2168 ( cos ) 2175 ) ; therefore , i propose that the next year the parliament not present a report general , but reports for countries to the stress that we are seeking for a development differentiated of the negotiations . i think , secondly , that on the basis of the work carried out by the previous presidencies and by the commission , the french presidency will be in the least , conditions - i hope - of present a balance must the process of accession . i said , and not have a in repeat here , that the french presidency will not shirk any of the difficulties that we , the which not mean that we will have the time and of the means to deal with each of them . this issue is perfectly legitimate , but is necessary zanjarla of way right and precise . the enlargement is a that we must approach with vision and with very generosity . not all result of the igc would befit the enormous requirements to adaptation of that enlargement . the second great change that is and the that europe must adapt is the enormous speed of economic development , which we addressed to the global market and to the global competition . fourth : of the previous emerges from the principle of that is given to the member that on in the negotiations the fair opportunity of join to the that the have started before . in the sectors in which is necessary to investment and the long-term to achieve the levels of the eu , must be taken in mind that , in the same 's circumstances , the current states also disfrutaron of long terms . in the protection of the borders and the fight conra the crime to also our standards and the advantages of the european cooperation . we of the new flows trade that there are currently between the european union and the countries of central and eastern europe . enjoyed that the commissioner has begun , finally , to report to the people of that the fears of the that is not speaks , certain . this compromise , that they must be given , to be possible to the accession to the european union . for this we need the support of the commission , because although we have the will necessary , to sometimes lack of the ammunition essential . this is something essential to power , as european union , look the objectives to the implementation of our own internal reforms . however , there are aspects and issues of the scale of that disagree . this is the european union itself , to the future independent in connection with america and also to a policy of defence and security policy , because that european also introduces risks with russia and with other countries . we hope that has results and that is not have that postpone for another igc , which must be to that enlargement can be the place . - ( fr ) i , as i have been for a moment , because that in my first speech i over three minutes before . is very important , and from this point of view i am glad that the commission work in a campaign of information , that the commissioner verheugen wishes that is to the time broad and decentralised . but - and will be my last words , now that i say clearly : i am not pessimistic in the area , not i am i doing things by halves , with a strong desire option with regard to the enlargement - to have credibility , must also be serious , is that we must understand , is also necessary to include the accession of the people , of the peoples of the candidate countries and of our peoples . for the time , not see any need of speak on the financial perspective in connection with the enlargement . i can say today of single country . for the same reason have expressed , moreover , also the of the european union . now we to give the floor to the different rapporteurs . i will entrusted the mission of be rapporteur in relation to estonia . and conservative , i am very careful with the money of the taxpayers . i believe that only then should a idea of approximately what the people have achieved in latvia in the past years . this is not enough , a global strategy has to be more closely to the citizens . lithuania has considerable potential for a long-term economic growth . in the broader perspective it is of the cooperation of the european union with the russia . and i here another point sensitive : the support of the public , within and outside of the european union . as a result of a intelligent policy tax , the direct foreign investment of last year exceeded the 5.450. million . not to interfere and much less us the german . the democracy slovak is of a stable and previously had been the contrary . in this speech i propose highlight and bring the six aspects of the development of the situation hungarian for the accession to the european union , worthy of mention particular . for that , i see that it has considered this matter in the report on the enlargement of the general mr . finally , i mention of a cloud ominous mixture to europe and i specify that i personally . 23 years ago agents secret bulgarians launched a campaign criminal in western europe and attack to certain people , including my friend bulgarian prime minister markov , writer known and part of the media , that was in a streets of london in full agenda . the creation of a group of high-level is something that i commend to my colleagues . the report that i have the honour of children and that also has been adopted unanimously in committee noted that the part of territory controlled by the authority legal meets with the political copenhagen criteria . with this end , and even , of course , the role of the commission itself , our solana of the cfsp , the mr solana , will play a key role . the main problem of malta is however exist in that the process of accession is assessed differently by the government and the opposition and the european union is importance to that this process of accession goes way of continued . even between the usa and mexico the levels are closest . for that , in the sector of the internal market believe of a strategy well , flexible recapacitada and appropriate to the challenges . but i would also say in this place that i respect to the citizens of the countries of the central and eastern europe , who for ten years had the value of out to the streets and of start this process . the society of the information is important both for the former as to the new industry . not we can make blinded by the percentages of community law contained in the national legislation . that means that the environment as only will of a sensitive in europe of this when between 15 and 20 go to years the . it is unacceptably long . that also applies to transport of animals for slaughter , that is something degrading . we are trying now for impose the obligation of make assessments of the consequences for the health in the case of all the legislation of importance . my report of opinion is that speak of the european union also and that is to the funds for the european regional development cannot be otorgándose in basis to a mere distribution accounting between regions or regions . mr brok has started with the intervention with the point of all that we will be the beneficiaries of the enlargement , in particular also the that we are in this side of the current external . the inland waterways will be important for environmental reasons because we have to take the road of goods and if not the transporting them for the railways can then have to use the developing maritime and water . also has been a question of selfishness and on all of populism , and the change to the low the euro has not helped certainly in the right . our message to the countries of the accession is the following : not to confuse for the extension of the present reports , of the issues . unfortunately , in this time there are many parties that have taken their cape ideological and are , therefore , very few ideals and too materialism . if need postpone the right to free the acquisition of land and housing for use family , let us do it . there is , but can be danger because to the lack of transparency and the resistance obvious , but not public , of some governments . furthermore , where are the millions of jobs promised by the treaty of maastricht ? in the time in which we are reviewing the treaties , some member call for a new reform already . the majority of the studies show that the international enlargement means benefits macroeconomic . however , except minorities insignificant , no group question the main objective of the policy that is the slovenian of join in the european union . a time that the union is had extended with quickly , that would diferenciarla of considerably , as set out in the position on the enlargement adopted by the eldr group . for me clearly that the obligatory and institutional that operates in this country is as result many long-term consequences for the health of the orphans . i support the amendments . and even us , the european political , said very little in the process understanding of negotiations . cyprus will be a kind of bridge to the countries of the region . i to the negotiators to its work with success in this important area . of course , also is a second important kind of communication between our countries and the countries that want to make the accession of what it is in the european union . we not the luxury of lose occasions and that there was the beginning of the 1990s . mr president , firstly , as rapporteur socialist for the report on romania , i would like to congratulate the rapporteur for his excellent report . it is for the institutions , for the member states , for all of us , be to the stage of this challenge , also with regard to the fears of our own public , and of regain the encouragement , the ambition and the vision of the founding fathers of europe . unfortunately , i the sense of that this process of enlargement to spite of the many and fine words and of the applied openness and closure of many chapters , is not for the council with the necessary energy policy . many countries of the union plan - meant that similar problems in some time of its development and can recommend to bulgaria to help to overcome those with the that has now . the democracy is not only a question of majorities but on all of a codecision balanced of the minorities . the candidate countries must be considered for as and the accession of dependent on their own development . the same time we acknowledge the efforts of by countries as lithuania , to compensate for the time lost . for this , is in our interest to our legal system and of freedoms to romania and this is certainly a argument in the debate with our public . however , there is a subject on which there is great interest : the enlargement . my group supports this for the time of the terms in the sector of the environment to a maximum of five years . mr president , is essential that you pluck up the courage positive to the enlargement . certainly the debate is open in the order of the accession of these countries , because we must see the progress of its internal reforms . i am pleased that the report is very positive and that slovenia has been made really of way mass by meet the criteria - that in a number director of the delegation and still also present the commissioner . in my opinion , this proposal should be examined . these forms of violence and of trade with women must be and combat already now with the means all the eu in both in the candidate countries as . completed , with this time , i share the thoughts and ideas of many of our honourable in regard to the need examine , of a time for all with attention , the issue of the limits of europe and therefore , the of what is going to extend , and the convenience of the of drafting a report on particular of the european parliament . the minutes of the sitting of was distributed yesterday . thank you . of time in of in this house that in a europe of the citizens , the rights must be enshrined in properly the right of the union . i put to vote the request of postponement of the commission legal and internal market of . we know that the substances strange that we are almost never affect of immediately , but that are harmful substances to long-term , substances of long life and low brominated flame retardants , such as the dioxins , the aflatoxinas , and noxious heavy metals , as the cadmium , lead the and the mercury . we not seek guilty . if allows ' dilute ' products in this case , we must demand as minimum that this is attention to the services of control and that is to public that the product is has diluted . in fact , also be give and discuss this problem . however , must be clear that the crisis of the dioxin was the result of criminal actions that contravenían the existing rules . mr president , i want to thank the speakers and the speakers that previous speakers . is a need pressing . for example , the limit value for fishmeal is different of that is proposed to the products of animal origin not marine . longer of end with a interpretation fallacious the principle of subsidiarity , that is increase more the protection of brussels on our nations . as the rapporteur , i believe that there are bases for all these things do and to look to the substances that the referred , that although not are toxic for themselves , are increases in the highest quality . unfortunately , has lost much of the knowledge legacy , the wisdom rural , in a production in the industrial that the animals have to be reduced units of production and goods . the new rules fusionarán , harmonised and simplify requirements in terms of hygiene very complex and detailed that were to now ingested wind-borne in many directives . in my inquiries , the number of those who will report on the exact is relatively little . secondly , is clear that , it is to introduce a change that is to the farmers , are the producers of that the resources used in the feed . in the future , they will have to destroy a number considerably more of items of resources . these compensation are necessary , but is clear that the own farmers are esmeran the maximum for the health of garnatizar their animals . the amendment 18 proposed explicitly that is included the water in the definition of the feed . on the basis of these assessments of the scientific elements of risk , the commission will propose to the member states measures appropriate to limit the presence of these substances in the feed . having studied the amendments tabled for its approval in this house , for the support of parliament to the proposal . in general , therefore , the commission can accept 15 of the 27 amendments . i fact that is and will not be with the theirs . the commission has undertaken to order to develop that and has announced that also not fulfil its of the evening to the tomorrow . the farmers simply need to information , also in figures percentage - when this soliciten- , all the contain that the full and in what proportion is present . report , and also to the mrs roth-behrendt for their reports and to hope that the council take of a constructive position on these issues and we can establish together a system of statement more transparent for the feed . all this , of course , is the tragedy of the must bse , that has been a real ongoing saga , with various events . the use of the poisons , harmful to the health of the people and of the animals . but for the positive start . the present proposal is the first of a number of initiatives based in the white paper on the food safety . thank you , mr commissioner . ( the parliament adopted the resolution ) report ( a5-0248 / 2000 ) ) by mr queiró , on behalf of the commission of human rights , common security policy , and of defence , on the request of accession of hungary to the european union and on the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) by eur 505 - c5-0028 / 2000 - 1997 / 2168 ( cos ) ) 2175 report ( a5-0247 / 2000 ) of the baroness nicholson of winterbourne , on behalf of the commission of human rights , common security policy , and of defence , on the request of accession of romania to the european union and the development of the negotiations [ com ( 1999 ) 510 - c5-0033 / 2000 - 1997 / 2171 2168 ( cos ) ) thirdly , perhaps the most difficult , that the council adopted new measures that will institutional to the community work effectively , efficient and democratic after of the enlargement . but it is of agreement with the principles of article 13 , is clear that the secondary legislation that the european union after it is sometimes very far , and that is not right to deny the candidate countries to a right to the differentiation cultural . finally , i think in the fact of that the process of enlargement must be out , the pace of the adaptation of the candidate countries . . in the context current and given the voices that have begun to hearing the enlargement of attacking the european union , is important that this parliament will give a signal in favour clear policy of the same . . ( fr ) since its creation , the european union has vocation of bringing people together . the criteria of the council of copenhagen of 1993 on the democratisation of or the ability to compete on , way of acquis communautaire , the reign of a capitalism savage and damaging . in these conditions , a headlong pursuit to implement in the enlargement will increase the current populist and fascist mindset which are here and there . in the agenda of the present sitting is precisely a report on the equality of opportunity between women and men , that is to offer a shows of how poor results is making rights in the precisely in this area practice . who could , in fact , denying the entry in the house to the european poland of copérnico and of john paul ii , to the hungary marie-antoinette in 1956 in budapest , or to the capital-símbolo , prague , when the democracies working defenestraban the state and aplastaban the people of jan palach , inmolado for the freedom ? a europe with greater and more precise new tasks and more funds . i should like to welcome to the elderly and to the pensioners of estonia included in attention to their possibilities of live within the european union of . if latvia is progressing and the european union adapted its institutional structure and its policies to to the enlargement , not see any reason for the that latvia should not be accepted in the union . if lithuania is on the european union and adapted its institutional structure and its policies to to the enlargement , not see any reason for the that lithuania should not be accepted in the union . in the field of environment , also have to progress obvious , with the creation of ' fund national for the protection of the environment ' and with the implementation of the principle of ' contaminador-pagador ' . the allow the entry of poland in the common , the union will justice with the newly arrival : a justice which it has been denied in too time . i hope with interest the early incorporation of the czech republic . . ( in ) i welcome the report queiró on the request of accession of hungary to the european union and i share the majority of the conclusions to the that is the rapporteur . i hope with interest that bulgaria is a to the union in a not-too-distant future . poos report ( a5-0249 / 2000 ) it is of a point of view fair and balanced that the council of ministers must take seriously . i hope for true that the negotiations that we have had of the un can be results , of way that both stocks , cyprus and greek , benefit together of the advantages of its entry in the eu in a republic of reunited . . i welcome the report of mr poos . on the request of accession of cyprus to the european union . however , we , the consumers , we are in the last part of the food chain and so are the recipient end of the abuse of the food and counterfeiting . we particularly concerned that the , to european level and of a specific , the food safety is from the dehesa to the bureau . precisely because we are to favour the development of relations of cooperation , really fraternal and between partners really equal , between all the countries of the world , not have intention , with our vote , of hide namely eyewash . the council reported to parliament before of the vote in committee , but with a margin of time very small , avoid with this deliberately any possibility of a debate additional me or with the parliament . in my report i a greater representation and participation of the ngos , a greater accountability to parliament , the preparation of a report annual for that is discussed in the parliament , the highest possible level of transparency , the promotion of remember the last in the fight against the prejudices and the recognition of the multiple discrimination . the same time , we must also take account in the interests of the workers legitimate . in the quality of main responsible of resolve the problems of discrimination in the place of work , the social partners are in the position more favourable to propose solutions practicality . one was the collective ' access charter ' . was the coordinator of and i invited the the hearings on the article 13 . practice because the directives and the programmes of action to encourage the member states to combat the discrimination on the same conditions and that the commission can fulfil its role of guardian of the treaties and also of pioneer in the debate social . but the present legal released funds for new actions preparatory , their funding within this category of could lead to a reduction of appropriations for other policies . ladies and gentlemen , we are to a proposal of directive framework necessary but not enough , mechanisms have the opportunity of making after a time of implementation . i hope that the commission consider carefully the legislation in the of discrimination for reasons of sex in the light of this new directive . i congratulate the commission and to my colleagues that have produced the report . i welcome the recommendation of the report mann of to to the organisations of the possibility of a ideological demand the personal certain requirements for the performance of its office in connection with this nature . the speed with which the institutions have made use of the powers of amsterdam , madam commissioner , shows that the european union is pioneer in the equal opportunities , and i would like to thank very explicitly to the commission for this european . the presence of discrimination of very different types in our societies confirms the importance of the programme of action that is the issue of the report of mr cashman . mr president , on behalf of the bonino list , i express the concern to us is the way in which the member states and europe stick to the question of the discrimination , the racism and xenophobia of the . can the commissioner for what the commission disassociating itself of this ? secondly , even recognize its importance , to my mind is a problem that is invited to the ngos to participate in the implementation of the programme , regardless of its size , its characteristics and its action . the liberal and democratic has all this , but in particular the activity of parliament that has to insist , also and particularly , in the prevention of phenomenon , as well as of the good practices . is a challenge for us all because all judging to the people for the first impression . mr president , fight and legislate against the discrimination is to recognise that there are and even that often are ' legalised ' because are trivializadas . the first , the cnucyd , the conference of the un for the trade and the development , developed in 1963 in geneva the principle of the inequalities compensation , and therefore of the discrimination . of fact , the information and the awareness is essential in this field , must be as caused to to a new mentality , a new way of thinking and that is to be of venzan radically these prejudice still widespread between the people and to ensure the real equality of all the citizens in terms of rights . therefore , is important that we progress with the two legislative initiatives that now under discussion , but treaty and improve them in some aspects and increasing the amounts proposed for the financing of the programme and in the importance that this policy is fight against the discrimination . in particular , the agreement on the principle of adjustments reasonable , in the that have been the sweden and ireland , will now that the employers of all europe some their places of work , acquire equipment special and amended their practices of work of the way that employees disabled have really a fair chance . the article 13 is the basis of a new objective of the eu : combat the discrimination or the unequal treatment of the citizens for the causes listed in the same . the second point that i point out is unfortunately the serious mistake made by the commission with this first package to adopt between the reasons of discrimination . mr president , the discrimination for reasons religious is as unacceptable as any other way of discrimination . as the secular convinced that i am , not be because it . however , the generous idea of recognise each citizen to the maximum possible freedom , always that is compatible with identical measure of freedom for the other , is , even today , with obstacles , a fact of and other of law . a of the directives already has been adopted in time record , and hope that the other is adopted in november , for the french . some meet other legal requirements , for example , the amendment on to the provisions of the committees . in change , not i accept the amendment 38 that deleting any article 5 of the list of differences of treatment for reasons of age that can be justified . the parliament referred to the important issue of the next of the contracts . is the first time that we projects common in this programme of action . it is clear that the more universal is the code , more effective will be . the article 7 of the code , the member to undertake to prevent the exports that we keep to end-users undesirable . . ( it ) mr president , i am nostalgia of the times in that from the european parliament , and from the various movements pacifists and trade unions , is incitaba to think and to act in a progressive reduction of working of the manufacture of weapons and we wondered how make the war in production civil production . in view of the situation in the that are today the world and our continent after the end of the cold war and of the break the balance established by the terror of the weapons , it would be irresponsible behaviour . these weapons have become , for we say , the symbol of in the anarchy in many parts of the world . the cfsp is activities to combat the crisis outside of the limits of the eu and not something that could be policy of common defence . aim to prevent the export of arms to the governments that are of the human rights violations , to areas of conflict or to regions launched to a career in terms of arms . the commission , in close cooperation with the member states , was closely involved in the wording of the action of the common european union on small arms and weapons . under the agenda , the commission is to make a statement on the sector of the european research . introduce forms of intervention to more long-term , intermediate between the support of projects and the funding institutional , use of the instruments with flexibility offered by the treaty , and more specifically the participation of the union in national programmes as laid down in article 169 of the treaty . what we want to strengthen , is the nature of a classification , and this is the way of intervention . you say that think in a shake-up total the framework programme . i believe that today we need something that structured the area of the european research , is say something if the framework programme that is as supplement of national programmes , we need a element structuring , what that means that is must accept formulae . thank you for your speech and its constructive . in the to the points with the stoa , i think that is a together , because that is something that concerns to the house , the joint research centre , to the institutions of forward here in several member states . is that the commission is to ever nearer to the implementation of the european area of research . there will be a chapter on the full science , the society and the citizens . has been contacts with the greek authorities , irish and portuguese to ask the government of these countries to speed up the presentation to the commission of their projects of fund of cohesion . perhaps the lack of service i - and that there was in the commission - specifically the fund of cohesion would be more specific elements . my second question is this : regardless of the fund of cohesion , there are the community support framework of the structural funds , the , regional programmes , and so on . what countries have received the projects and final what programmes of what countries have already adopted ? in 1989 the commission presented a new proposal that should give a greater flexibility . bolkestein and , despite the general rule that of the treaties prohibits that copper is more to the companies that to the foreign home , it should apply the legislation general on the commission in europe in the cases in which the taxation is totally disproportionate . we must look at the effect that can be in this situation the legislation on the competition , despite the general rule of that these issues are prerogative of the member states . if we want the fuel , the way of this is by the tax , and not by other forms of taxation . i would like to say to mr purvis that the disadvantages of the natural and regional is a matter that probably for the national governments , already a part of that its electorate is in these areas remote and regions . mr president , madam commissioner , thank you for the information . the spring and the summer past , the commission made a european examination general of their activities and resources human . there are those who support it . these children are used increasingly for tourists and business that , in the majority , from of europe . the commission is convinced of that all the companies can prepare for the time to end the euro step , including the adaptation of their systems and software . the debate político-filosófico already is not in the agenda , but in general we consider the dangers of a referendum , but perhaps in another context . the same applies to efta . recently has sent a reminder to regard to the french authorities . in connection with the candidate countries , i say to you that we have had meetings with them in connection with this issue of the transport of animals and have reached agreements preliminary . however , in the way of sows of the spring the commission was informed of that is had , seeds imported of traditional varieties of species , including the different cotton , that contained of genetically modified seeds . however , after consulting their services , i am in conditions of inform you of that a directive on to the products electrical , the directive on to the limits of tension electricity , and the directive on to team of radio and terminals of telecommunications , prescribe requirements in terms of security of hardware to use private or in the place of work . is the me , however , in that in this case the distinction between the security in the place of work , in a kind school or to a child that do their homework is a false distinction ? perhaps should improve the hand of president khatami . today . suu kyi is to be done to arrest of open . i am of way that reluctant to go further in terms of trade or to advise additional measures on trade and investment . question no 15 by ( h-0769 / 00 ) : my reporters to some of the election meetings , for example , to the that had been . the questions 16 to 44 will be answered . what we would like is a report consolidated european that was published and put the examination of this parliament . we should focus in move to not produce weapons in all of think in the way of compete with the other countries manufacturers of weapons of all the world . the five states permanent the council of security , that supposedly to our security , should to of these proposals and negotiate the possible before a accordance really worthy of 21st . the debate of today is a step important in the process of reform that started the commission prodi for something more of a year . i avoid feel that in the race for producing a proposal within the limit of time established for the reform of the commission not went out to him , the appropriately to the details . therefore , i that both the auditor and the internal auditor produce annual reports great deal has already their activities . the report his comes more , with reason , the differentiation for the that the commission calls and is a good impetus to the exchange of best practices between the institutions . let that this is not to repeat again . if we determine something for the institutions large , we must apply to all the hierarchy this independence that the group of experts has said . in the past , we very often that the excessive delay of the processes of decision increased frustration between the complainants and a loss of confidence in the european institutions . i say to the commissioner that this report is not a step but interim . and a step in that means is the first step of the construction of a bridge between the system that we have now of control and the system that we achieve after the reform . this is the content of the proposal . only when this will be to introduce the sampling , the selection , that is controls with often . in consequence , beyond mere words , we are aware of that the task is not for nothing easy . of course , also think that the political and not the technical we tackle the problem of no way we alone . the majority of the children and adolescents is however , fortunately , in a the that no such problem . i fully agree with the president of the commission in the need to draw up this catalogue similar to a constitution and in my opinion , it is clear that must be strengthened the principle of subsidiarity and that the eu must therefore not to policy in the long number of areas where the policy are not cross-border . information from all of the world and of all the areas of know is in very short time to our houses and the communication throughout the world is to them a daily experience . arrested very little time after , to the police stated : ' is curious , in the television sets , are not being so easily ' . the legislators - and i will end here , mr president , cannot solve all , but must sometimes remember the rights and the responsibilities of each . i am also very sensitive to the comments that we have done on the education , on the training to learn to read the pictures , on the awareness of the young generations to that have a critical approach to the measures and not take anything , in any time and of any way . nothing will more damage to the views that are being that the fact of that a report as it not progress or that not possible to a greater mobility or that not start , the least , to break down the barriers to the that facing the educational mobility . the problems outstanding of solution in the various member are of different nature , for example , different rules in the security of social , grants , right of residence , taxation and the lack of mutual recognition of the qualifications and of the stages . it is high time that europe should of attention to the new good implementation of programmes such as the socrates and youth the with europe . the experience on the mobility of students and teachers shows that the real difficulties to the free movement not are therefore in the authorities of the education , but rather in the areas of action of the authorities of the social security , of finance and of immigration . it has mentioned as example of this the programme . is that have a clear inspection , a control clear , but is by sampling , and , on all , a counter , a website , where the pupils collect their complaints . for this we adding to the category of the researchers in the area of application of the recommendations . is released in a speech , but not both in the practice . the debate is closed . appreciate its action , similar to the president of chirac or the minister joska fischer . the union must speak with a single voice in foreign policy and reflect a capacity of defence and security policy . we need a forum of decision-making for issues to both sides far-reaching as the immigration , the transfer of the factors of production , the energy supply . the proposal of the resolution on reports of the commission , on the that you will to speak after , is the lot of this . this is clearly in the report prepared by the council on the women and the adoption of decisions . the indicators that has produced will assess the progress . and of the conference of ministers and the discussion on the equality professional , two very important texts , specifically devoted to the equality , but for the council of employment and social affairs , is of mention . the second concerns the principle of not discrimination , including the based in the sex . with regard to the reports , i must say moreover - madam president of the council also took up this - that one of the major problems in the eu are of course the large differences cultural . the reports presented are a good shows of this . we have to ensure that the directive on equality of opportunities really part of the rules . i believe that this method , adopted firstly for finland , is viable in many sectors and , as part of the strategy of gender equality of the commission , will much of it . on behalf of the equality of opportunities , the french women have won , you to europe , the right to work of evening . as a french , this vision of the world is particularly foreign . despite these comments , we will vote for this report , because , of course , we are of the equality of opportunities , but it is to respect of everyone . the take that to the mothers the freedom of educate to their children without remuneration , you will be the bill later in form of crime youth and hooliganism . in this context to our report on the division of the rights derivatives of pensions in case of divorce you to which the pensions of survival and the age of retirement were incorporated in order to the directive of 1979 . the poland we were very grateful to have made clear that the representative there this not put the attitude of the poland . a greater participation of the women in all the levels of government and in all the areas of the life is essential to give greater to the democracy and to keep the peace and . finally , i would like to refer to the situation of women in the candidate countries to the accession to the european union . the council , particularly the men to develop , have in this area the important task of guide to europe in the fight against the mafias of exploitation of women . this trade of slaves is not something that the political responsible can avoid , duck or ignore . of the reports and speeches that today we are analysing from , as already knew many of us , that the problem of the equality of opportunities is a problem of structural order and that , for it , are necessary , because the global strategies women are not a category or a group social homogenous and no collective . true is that i was a little sad to see that maria of co-rapporteurs has been highly mrs de belém roseira already not had this since . two of you have mentioned new social rights , new rights tax . thirdly , because are the basis strategic not only for the european union - even the have to our available a picture of the situation in the letter of the human rights has played a role important - but also to national level , as can the member states by the benchmarking to national objectives . the debate is closed . these amendments is that seen in the new context of the interinstitutional agreement and , therefore , the parliament can agree with not insist in these amendments of comitology , of which have been overcome , for the new interinstitutional framework . however , i , personally , i believe that the text adopted in its agenda for the parliament responded much better to the new realities that the internal market and of the liberalisation of the markets , in the measure in that the elements of clarification and control of bringing the amendments not accepted are a guarantee of more that the regulations was to be and of that would be the same procedures to the time of its implementation . if we want that the third countries accept the commitments , the community european must be the first are in the of their own rules , because if a country has the possibility of putting in the community products for the way of smuggling is to what is going to negotiate with : in us no kind of granting ? also , the amendment of parliament on the customs procedures by statements information , accepted by the council , will the national customs administrations of the member states to that driver-specific smartcard with technology of control more modern . but now is too late now that you take of the vote and the members have voted to favour . votes ( continuation ) report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) on the annual reports of the commission ' equality of opportunities for women and men in the european union - 1997 , 1998 and 1999 ' [ com ( 1998 ) 302 - c5-0106 / 1999 ) ( com ( 1999 ) 106 - c5-0289 / 2000 ) ( com ( 2000 ) 123 - c5-0290 / 2000 - 1999 / 2109 ( cos ) ) commission of the rights of women and equality of opportunities . lone dybkjær . rapporteur : not the first is time that i wish on the mobility of the students and the body of teachers . this report is more that it is in a critical time for the european union : the of the enlargement . the discrimination is not fight creating jobs administrative additional but changing the mentality of the people . i voted in against the report mann , because , if it is necessary , indeed , to achieve the equality of treatment of the people in employment and work , not would have to take the zeal to the point of abandon all protection of the freedoms and all respect the state of law . as i am convinced that secular , i have not endorse it . the snp welcomes this directive and its objective of end with the discrimination in the place of work . if we draw up a directive plausible and viable not we against weighing it down of hollow phrases and illusions , because that is not what is expected of a that legislation . however , the eplp has important reservations on the following areas . also there are elements that , in our opinion , should be the discretion of the member states , such as the aplicaión general , the provision of training to workers of certain groups of age , the nature of the system of mediation , and the way in which the smes must interpret the directive . his is rightly in this same interview that only we start with a positive agenda when we have resolved problems as the fraud , the waste and the lack of efficiency and effectiveness in the process of decision-making . the right of my vote to this report relates , in the essential , with the question of closer relations between the european union and the nato and also with the progress towards a policy of common defence . in the report is also the export of weapons in europe as a way of resolving conflicts in the territories close . however , not accept that requiring a policy of common defence and a policy of security and defence in the european within of the nato . the children are the first victims of the violence television . i am pleased that it has made this study . to community level is to be a committee of experts with the mandate of draw up a memorandum that established the general principles for the protection of less to the means . dybkjær report ( a5-0198 / 2000 ) is particularly interesting the fact of that , first , is clear the need to assess the effectiveness of the political initiatives with the annual reports of the commission . peru mr president , in the peru is died time of uncertainty and all the very hope of that the current situation is resolved through a process , in the ensuring all the rights and political , that is to the strengthening and the consolidation of the democracy and the peace in the peru , country that has suffered 25 deaths in the last fifteen years . the word in question is the word ' democracy ' . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the conditions in the that were the elections peruvian in the last may were unacceptable . b5-0793 / 2000 of the mrs ainardi and others , on behalf of the group of the european democrats , on the situation of women in the afghanistan . and i think also positive that the resolution includes a number of points clear and unambiguous on precisely to the situation of women and draw the attention on how necessary is that we of help to prevent that the taliban continue with its total discrimination of the women . to the eu has a task important . cannot be the recognition for part of any member state and the policy is of violation of the human rights , in particular the systematic discrimination to the women . and this is that we have that considering it from the european institutions and also that the crops of the drugs is used to buy weapons . however , will all its support to the countries neighbours with the subject of help to improve their resources to the time of combat this evil . i think that is a good time to point out the need of that the european union begin to design a policy of a comprehensive with regard to latin america , that possibly , could prevent that these countries ordeal regularly situations of crisis and the that , in some of them . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , both the commission and the parliament we enormous welcome the release of jesuit spanish , the mr . alejandro matos castro , in the last week . b5-0782 / 2000 of mr haarder , on behalf of the group of the liberal group , on macedonia : law of higher education and universities . for this same , with all that the problem of extremely of higher education by the end seems to be a solution really positive . this is , for what i , a good example to all the countries of neighbours that not only is the hatred can carry through the education , as is now so often , but that the education also can be as cradle to a multi-étnica peaceful coexistence . i also have preferred that is had found a solution that deserved the approval of all the parties represented in the parliament . let me take this opportunity to point out that the commission already has had very good experience in the that to cooperation with the high commissioner , the van der stoel , is concerned . we are not today discussing in this house only to express our spite . we are mainly on what has happened , on what has happened and for the remedy the situation , how we can help of the commission , and the european parliament , for that such events are not in the future . in any case , mr president , we are of agreement with this proposal of common resolution , that support as is now , with a of urgent , and of course , but in what i mentioned before , we are not agree with the amendments that we have also tabled as urgent . in regard to the amendment on the conditions of work , there is a directive on this issue ; moreover the wording of the amendment is not so satisfactory as the text . simply , this is not acceptable for the islands northern and eastern scottish and not to what is the potential route from the irish sea to the european continent , which i hope is established in a future not very far . i am pleased that the government of greek has suspended this exemption , . for this same , the commission the greek government immediately the wreck of the samina express , requesting information on the implementation of the existing community law . therefore , i would like to ask , asking the put to the presidency . i wonder if also of the abolition of friday some have begun to do away with the thursday . i would say also that , for part of the european union , are in place the mechanisms for that in the time in that the want the country is respected , is that , in the time in that we have a government for the people that sustained have voted in the vote on the mr . there , we can have : first , a lifting of the immediate sanctions and , secondly , a package of aid economic that can help the country to re-establish its economy . perhaps we will now in the streets of belgrade if the change democratic begins now and if can be violence . condemn all the measures that can be provocations , especially in regard to the holy places of jerusalem . and that we tenderle the hand of a way very symbolic - as mr solana . with this meeting in zagreb . the more shocking is the fact of which the police and the israeli army has used bullets of fragmentation , bullets that when it is the body burst in tens of shreds and that are banned internationally , even in the wars soldiers , and that is now have used against citizens . i think that europe can do much and must do much in this respect with transparency and decision . in consequence , we must what that to stop to this fire . we must avoid the situation as the action of ariel sharon 's hands . today has been the same , and that is what prevent and has prevented to europe , in all these years , play a role in the middle of mediation , leaving this role to us . not sacrifice all our to the population on behalf of our objectives elevated and moral , because this could mean that the death of thousands of people in serbia and yugoslavia . madam president , and last point i would propose that , as soon as possible and in the new government has a yugoslav , is to a delegation of parliament to plan , together with the new government , yugoslav the reconstruction of a new serbia . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , is clear that today is probably a historic day in this parliament , the agenda in that possibly is to one of the last pillars of a dictatorship totalitarian in europe . mr president , it is a problem because that in the matter german to the issues of urgent - i know if the same applies in the other versions was being replaced by only deals with the amendments of the . are the proposals of resolution and the common text . mr president , i would like to draw the attention only of you on the lot of documents which have brought this week to vote . if the parliament to present amendments to the decision of the council , certainly reminds the problems of unemployment and social of croatia derivatives of the diet imposed to this country , but in these circumstances there are not legal for this type of amendments . this is the opportunity to claim the same objectives as to the activity of the eib . mr president , yesterday by the afternoon , we on serbia and on the changes revolutionary developments there . for this reason , i strongly urge to my colleagues and , also in particular the council , for that for the negotiations of the budget year that is of the subsequent years and keep the maximum to the proposal of the commission that , in my opinion , has made the better assessment of the costs in croatia and also in other areas of the balkans . in 1990 is held elections , which were considered internationally as free and fair . for that yes , to this aid itself , to this economic , but also guarantee a strong request to the commission to support that fully to this country deeply european , now already governed democratically in accordance with the state of law , and for that brought in the list of the candidate countries , because i believe that croatia has been all our support . as the rapporteur , i wonder if in the practice of money is given to this end , especially , given that , in short , we must establish a broad flow monetary to serbia and that the budget of the union is not will increase . also the delegations of croatia and of our parliament asked the council extended the mandate that the eib . i hope that begin as soon as the contacts and , like to croatia , to give aid also the country that indeed . ( parliament approved the minutes ) therefore , is with this spirit that we had to the women of the european parliament to that participate in this delegation , the tuesday and wednesday the have a list and we shall harvest the signatures and the accession to the delegation , precisely with the spirit of establish between women bridges of peace where , in change , there is violence . in short , has been more suffering for the basque and the spanish , certainly , spanish and basque tired of the current conflict . madam president , as you will recall , in the last part-session , evoqué the difficult situation of of the british democracy , james mawdsley , from that had been arrested by the burmese authorities illegally . madam president , in my case , is really of a point . in fact , this report apparently technical , that is not bring major changes of order political is extremely important in the measure in that , surreptitiously , introduces the possibility of applying the meant to a viticulture gm . if not voted the report , will delays . the council of state - as you said has rejected this resource and we are informed in due form this desestimación . however , now the case and there is to a colleague that , if it is the ppe , not belongs to my political area in italy . the mr . of that there monitor compliance by the introduction of a social scoreboard , as has also been made to the internal market , with measures , with clear deadlines maximum and with limits of time . madam minister , i hope that the council develop in the expectations of parliament and i hope that in the summit of nice will create a european social agenda in a ambitious objectives with the that we can work together in the years ahead . following the council informal on ' employment and social policy ' the 8 july of last in paris , the presidency has asked to all the players involved - european parliament , for course , economic and social committee , of the regions partners social , ngos , groups and committees of the council that you draw their proposals . against the quantitative to the qualitative is a false debate and lisbon was clearly a double objective : more jobs and of better quality . need promote the mobility and the same time ensure the safety of the tracks professional . we must try to make a list of clearly in the system and , in any case , in the agenda them . the open coordination is , in our opinion , the way to go if ensure a social europe . the implementation of the social economically weakest users which in lisbon requires a effort community , a plan of action for the creation of jobs in the services , in particular those linked with the society of the information . obviously the cooperation of the commission is important , but the problems have social support local and is that manejarlos respecting the specific circumstances . the social acted as factor of correction of the effects of the most harmful economic policies . the original proposal of the commission was much better without amendments , congratulate commissioner . diamantopolou , for its excellent document . agenda is a splendid and i remember with what we still difficulties in terms of social protection in the last parliamentary term . i believe that will be very positive also to help to reconcile the family and professional life of the women . sometimes i have the impression that the concept of with modernisation of the often the undermining of the social protection . what are the points of the basic text ? yet is difficult to objectives european that have the same force for all the member states , because that reality is different to the each . the commission has tabled 49 amendments . perhaps this is only the parliament and to the commission , but , commissioner mrs . another point is the increase the support of the community to the time of judge the need of initiatives additional , including , if necessary , the transposition of the legislation , the equality and the fight against the discrimination . in the past have not been the good ideas or the good plans to achieve the equality , but often has failed to its implementation . that is not normal the voice of the women is situation , dominated by a handful of professional of the demand that of the injection of live public money . the equality of women and men in the life civil , that will to the women the full enjoyment of the human rights and fundamental freedoms . i hope that , finally , the players men also meet here and combat the role of gender and the stereotypes outdated . i believe that now we must thank you for having followed the debate , because that was not planned its presence in this debate . of competition policy we must provides to our companies the that have possibility of plan their production and on all its future . the consumer must have access to a wide range of products of high-quality and to competitively priced , and ultimately it is the right to continue with the single market and , together with this , with the free competition , because benefits to all our citizens . is the of the decision of subsidise or of the decision of not support in the area of mineral coal . the point 16 of the report riis-jørgensen speaks of greater security in the treatment of the applications of fusion and of deadlines shorter and effective for the appeals to the courts . in all the cases is public that must not its force financial to a impeccably operations , but to the past and present positions ownership . we need a introduction of greater citizen in the information on policy of competition , to which this noting the advantages . it is of great importance to issues of the economy regional and for the employment , and i hope that , in the future , this is shown to that these aid , the subsidies domestic that affect the development and to the regional economy and which factor more exemplary is precisely the transport , can be granted . this communication contains three messages right . evans for his excellent report on the rules of state aid to the steel industry and on the eighth report on the aid of state in the european union . i , therefore , to ensure the palacio and mr karas , and to the other members on these points , that the regulation is very account in their concerns . otherwise we will be a favour to the competition and to the consumer . the debate is closed . the mechanism of financing is the article 119 of the treaty of the european union that is in force for the third stage of the economic and monetary only for the member states that are in the single currency . mr president , mr commissioner , and gentlemen , gentlemen thank because today we can discuss still the proposal of the council directive amending the directive 68 / 193 / eec on the trade with materials of vegetative propagation of the vine and i hope also a positive vote tomorrow . some of them launched , the 5 of july , the so-called of beaune , where expressed its concern to the introduction of the gmos in the profession . the rules that are are for the other favourable to the production of a plant material diversified and that offers the best guarantees health , which is fundamental , to support the restructuring of vineyards effectively community , key point of the new com wine and wine-growing . is that it out and clear , not was necessary overloading the articles of this directive with references to the directive 90 / 220 in process of review to least of to promote to the force against genetic of the vine . i wish to inform you that we accept the amendments also 35 to 40 tabled by mr . the report , aimed to strengthen the transposition of the requirements of safety and of management under the directive 90 / 220 . i simply say that it has not asked to parliament that it is as such . madam president , on the point 14 of our minutes on the decision of the immunity of pacheco pereira . i will be more must on the qmv . on the weighting of the votes , are also on the table the two options : to weighting simple in favour of the confirms which is a slight , very slight , majority , or well double majority , but with a different , double majority simple or reponderada or a form of ' mesh population ' . furthermore , even of a assessment of the needs and the coordination of the economic and financial assistance to the federal republic yugoslav , that is the commission encomendarán together to european and the world bank , the european council of biarritz was to the federal yugoslav a first aid of urgency of 200 million . but , i , ladies and gentlemen , if had of say spontaneous and very sincerely my impression , would say that whatever the delicacy of these issues -composición of the commission and system of vote - will not be based in that this measure for the failure or the success of nice . another positive aspect was also the adoption of the charter of fundamental rights by part of the heads of state and of government . however , mr president of the council , i remember the same time for what this was possible . not that we kill of dull the spirit of nice and , therefore , there is a top priority in the days that 50 are : raise the negotiations the political level . in this respect i would also address my colleagues to ppe - and i would ask you to mr poettering that i escuche- because what we in this house what must be . we know that of the action of the government and presidents in biarritz on the more issues issues of the reform of the treaty , the charter probably will be the more trophy in nice . taking a great consultation to the people , to the national parliaments , which can achieve a charter based of truth in the needs , the council would be in true in line with the aspirations of european . we , therefore , is that appeal to all for that to the origins of our union , have the courage that had this and the mr schmitt , the decide the choice directly the european parliament in 1976 and in 1979 , and decide that in 2009 finally have a president of the european union , president of the commission . in this regard , i would like to respond to what has said that the mr poettering . on the division between the large and the small countries . i refer back to with something to the issues of foreign trade policy , because is a matter entirely seriously . it is , however , of something valuable that have stressed all the states of the european council . a second something very positive has been the adoption of the charter in its entirety . moreover , i think that on this issue decisive for the future of the european union and of its way of decision , biarritz achieved some so many and we of welcome . i hope that we can still convince , progress , to get results positive about this in nice . i two examples : by a part , the right to work is the right to work and , furthermore , several rights including in the social charter social revised the council of europe are not in the charter . of the discussions that have been taking place in all europe , including the of biarritz , is clear that the member states are trying to greater part in the member states to intimidate under the european union to reform in line with the approach followed by the first and with their wishes . the dissatisfied of the two points are the test for the negotiators of that are to a fair balance . the leadership of the european union has not made a clear vision . a commission based on criteria of representation of each of the member reveals a vision short-sighted . a union of this nature would be centralist and to the member would small of the union least that the power that the two-chamber system of us attaches to the small member americans . after the summit of having once more got in the that have participated all the parties to find a way to stop the violence and resume the dialogue between barak and arafat , we have seen how difficult it is stop the fighting , even when there was a moment in that it that taxpayers ' money . obviously , a bad informers you do . barón things that are not certain regard to italy and to my party . is important that the introduction of tax european on the consumption of energy , which has been blocked by the implementation of the principle of unanimity , progress . we should not allow that the member states between the fear will to that progress can be made to solutions next to a european . in my opinion , the convention has done a excellent work and i am proud of having been member of the same . in this case , the last question will be the time of in what will this principle of the rotation strictly equal between large and small . the enlargement to issues of true of the qmv , together with the codecision , the preservation of article 250 , in its current form , the place and the role of the commission in the intensified and not only on the first pillar : these are some of the elements that we will judge the moment if there is , to all , success or failure . . ( fr ) mr president , you firstly to jacques , to jacques , you to that and to fernand herman , you to all , from vaclav havel to carlo ciampi , from opportunities to jacques chirac , from commissioner barnier to pierre moscovici , from mr patten to costa simitis , including to florence , and to the many members of current european that has taken up , of , the great movement to favour of a european constitution . we do not criticise in excess to the europe dealer , and is a socialist the that is what says : we have given more wealth for all . i agree on this objective , and that what we already , say how that . i had , mr president , the satisfaction of note that the proposals tabled recently to the igc are in the substantial with all or part of the criteria that i have said . . ( fr ) mr president , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen rapporteurs , gentlemen , you have to have this , tomorrow , a debate on the issues in which the house has , have the opinion on the igc that had expressed the april . so , respecting the existing framework , i think constitutional difficult - you must provide more - that a procedure of opinion of parliament in the time the start . you what you know , this is that we certain elections , of a rather broader scope that the regulation of the three requirements are previously . i same i stressed that the formula adopted for the charter was a way to explore . but i got perfectly that go language , the question one another concern . i here also why i thank , in the fund and in the way , the initiative which you have taken . the implementation of the intensified should not be the creation of new bodies that this area were forthcoming added to the institutions of the union . is of treaties . the european council also this consensus european basic with its negative to integrate in the treaties the charter of fundamental rights the european , to a value binding legal and give to the citizens whose rights are harmed the court court of justice european . otherwise , i believe that not can achieve a europe of the citizens and the citizens . paragraph 8 : the constitution will - and i quote - ' issues that have been open ' . so the time nobody has know explain what has changed between both . secondly , on a agenda of inadequate , which has left issues particularly relevant to the future of the union and the interest of the citizenship . mr minister , it says that the eve of the revolution in bolshevik -acontecimiento that was to be so severe in the world all the orthodox church federation was mired in complex discussions on the design of the bush relevant to the cuaresma . therefore , the cooperation must offer all the guarantees that the rapporteur has proposed , open to all , the spirit of the treaties and without oppose the acquis communautaire . however , there is a point that i would like to stress : not is right that we demand or is progress towards the requirement of a referendum compulsory in all the countries states to adopt precisely the amendments . gil-robles for their work . we held a debate very in depth on two issues that remain , different , are in a point . we are prepared to ensure that of voting for the session of november , thereby support for the french presidency . ( the parliament adopted the resolution ) ' what means the introduction of the possibility of access to the retirement gradually , through the part-time ' , but a threat to the age of the retirement , despite all of already excessively high in many countries ? is know that both to the pensioners as to the children they like the marmalade . i asked to the pensioners that i have sent the european parliament here with the party of the pensioners if you would drink wine genetically modified . or even , exceptionally , have of material of vegetative propagation standard when other categories not can meet the needs . in consequence , mr president , what is the variations cost of labour not is for these reasons a limit to the free competition in the european union ? so , the vote could be , just as has been , in against . despite the progress towards a more deregulation in the european union , the state aid can continue to take a constructive role to achieve the economic and social progress . in order to protect the environment , the public services and ensure the equality of income of the people of the regions economically weaker , these aid are essential . we the danger of that also make the point of view in the european union of the aid of little importance after the control of consolidate the european union in the important state aid , with the excuse of the competition in the small and medium-sized companies . section vi , economic and social committee a review of the timetable of implementation of the categories 2 , 3 , 4 and 7 of the budget discover that only a average of 8 % of all the commitments are covered by the payments for . for three years we in our initiative to favour the employment with the support the access of the smes the capital of risk . the parliament is so that of two ways . the european institutions will have fulfilled their made only if this is . in this context , i would thank the vice-president of the responsible budgetary matters , the colleague gerhard schmid , for its constructive cooperation . we said that committee maintained its capacity of work , but must be that the institution that less attention paid to the orders of the european parliament as part of the budgetary authority . is say that the year 2001 will be the last budget complete and in this context , it is also the proposal of the commission and the that we the parliament . in addition , also ask that revise the administrative expenditure . since 1985 i well 85- the commission of budgets of parliament is trying in achieve that the procedures of the european parliament have in mind the impact of the resolutions that financial vote the house . and i , mr president , by thanking the diligence of the other institutions in the discussion of this joint statement . now is required to regard to a budget that was already amended in first reading by the council . to purpose of the internal policies , the council made a margin wise , in the heading 3 , more important that the proposed by the commission . i would like , finally , that is not given to the financial perspectives the symbolism that have not . a review of the three joint of figures shown that there are still considerable differences , also of order exclusively quantitative and , of course , , in the content . i remember that the last year , after a long debate , is reached a new decision on the comitology of consultation with the council , and i hope few of that is possible reopen the debate . in the financial perspectives adopted in berlin for the period until 2006 is saying 8.100 million for the meda programme . solana . for this i would like to ask both the council as to the commission of budgets of parliament to think that in the foreign policy and not only in the budget when work of the foreign policy . the second relates to the aid that has to be the victims of the violations of human rights of the need treatments that in institutions specialised . if in the time that we are still is manage a solution of commitment to support the important work of the commission of emac , to a agreement ; otherwise , our position will . is that look to our televisions and see the problems existing in the middle east peace process for the remember that all the days . therefore , i hope that in the vote of morning we are still able to the majority necessary for the centre of dublin . mr president , i would like to make some comments , beginning by the rural policy , from the perspective of the commission of agriculture . we have asked that a credit indicative of two million for a campaign of information on the cfp . the commission must negotiate with arguments of weight to achieve a reasonable agreement with morocco and the council and to the governments concerned have promote politically this negotiation . here the budget 2001 with the image of the people of serbia in our souls to stay . in all , we want that these amendments . a important way as the european citizens can ensure that their concerns is the use of the ombudsman or to petitions to parliament . the first step of parliament budget . for surprise of many of the states of my delegation to the beginning of september , we unanimously a strategy and the basic 400 amendments introduced by some of my colleagues we were on a surprise to many of the states of the commission of budgets . it is difficult think that the increase of jobs is to solve the problem of the management , if there are procedures outdated and complex in the commission and the council to address the many problems . this house has shown repeatedly in the past years that its work in based the principle of a rigorous austerity . that is not acceptable for years about blithely of commitments and always be promise implemented , but when is the time of pay , then we say that are excessive and must think about that a little . we put only a few million - can be much - and in that time i do promises suculentas , and then , when really what we need to , withdraw their amendments . the budget 2001 , thing with the year of the past , has had to deal with conflicts between the practically insoluble pressure to favour of the consolidation and the austerity , as is decided in the framework of the interinstitutional agreement with the subject of ensure the financing of the enlargement , by a hand and , on the other , the urgent need of finance the stability to the balkans . the requirements of a more performance also need more staff . the adoption of this amendment , in its original , could begin to change the implementation , but a majority of the commission of budgets rejected this idea . this way , of the european parliament is preparing , say that the say , to accept the position in the council . and in this case , the examples are , unfortunately , many : the privileged treatment to the associations with vocation federalist or to the many ngos with a role , a philosophy and a functioning of the more controversial , to the financing of the european political parties , to the amounts engullidas in the prince-programme , for to try to the citizens of the member states of the well , the euro in a moment in the european currency that is a loss of confidence in great part shared by the european , from our friends democrats to the leaders of the ecb . finally , the mr heaton-harris has been properly with its amendments the childishly simple proposition of many programmes in the european that is offers the citizen a history propaganda on the european integration and that is , attention , financed by the citizen . in addition , also have that modernise our administrative systems and we must continue by , also , a good example . the meda programme , devoted to the mediterranean basin , the area of the most important strategic , is a good example of lack of capacity of implementation . when we talk of make reductions or find funds in category 4 to finance the certain priorities , minds that the parliament has its priorities . what we clearly in the vote in committee . so that we must clarify this figure . thank you , mr wynn . simply means that there are real elements of flexibility to move in any policy , even when no not can or not wishes to do so , and that applies to the countries of the union is also to the candidate countries . i think that austria cannot complain of what happened , no . the recommendations of the regional organisations , and the experience of the countries neighbours will certainly contribute to the definition of these resources . in the year 1984 , the 0.2 % of owners in colombia 32 % of the possessed the land . the council not is here to comment on - of this issue , that is extremely sensitive and painful . the same time , not can of this way a debate on issues that are , once again , extremely complex . question no 10 by ( h-0722 / 00 ) : therefore , i will ensure i of to a final answer to this difficult issue . simply , we have to feeling , and its answer it shows a little , that the presidency of the council is not very proactive to the time of address this issue . therefore , the accession of this tax obviously not be null and void . i also i apologise , but will to implement the regulation . however , would like to ask you if i understand that the french presidency has not intention of propose new measures to the adoption of the tobin tax , or if i interpret that not be is in all of a question of political will , but simply of that you also , the that are sitting in the part of the house left , have come to the conclusion of that is something impossible . the introduction of the tobin tax is impossible . furthermore , in hopes of the adoption of this directive on the prevention of the tses , is , in took june 2000 , the decision of the materials that of withdraw from risks on to these diseases , with the end of stop all new progress of the epidemic and ensure the consumer the level the highest of health protection . i have other elements that the that i inform you of . and we are well aware of the work of the commission and the council on the erika 1 . but , on to this step , which is known of both countries and known in the within the european union of , that it is of a particularly difficult , for the transiting through large ships to win only a at the risk of , with that old cascarones come to encallar and to lead to a disaster , their know , and especially to the people of corsica and sardinia , i would have liked know if will be possible and if it provides for ban solely the step of the close of bonifcacio to these large ships , to the large containers . therefore , i believe that we must support , in principle , the proposals of the commission to change the policy of staff . the budget needs new funds in serbia and effective for kosovo . i hope , mr president , and i will end with this , that is cut in spite of all the lines of the budget in 50 million to finance the agreement of peace between israel and the plo . for that , from the european parliament will new measures , not to both to seek new funding - already know that in the current conditions is not going to be ejecutar- but to set new commitments interinstitutional that improve the quality of expenditure and ensure that is not lose a euro . think that in european policy , as in any other area , to times the options moderate leave of be majority . is designed to to obscure in place of to clarify and disappointed by the attitude adopted today on the role of the budgeting in activities . however , the expenditure is that the distribution in activities , is also more how the budget is seen as a political instrument where the distribution of the expenditure reflects clear priorities policies . and then find a solution multiannual , so that to the next year and the next year of new not also have that to this discussion on how find money for the reconstruction of the balkans . the interested in the development of a sustainable agriculture have of the general thrust know that of the recent reform agreed in berlin is a step continuous of support to the products to support direct to the income of the farmers . ladies and gentlemen , a budget is always more that a cold calculation of figures . finally , is immoral , mr president , cut the expenditure for the agricultural policy , for the meda programme , for the excluded social , and we try to ensure the resources to finance the obligations of the european union in kosovo and in yugoslavia . is very simple : this winter the serbs not can it of cold or of hunger . furthermore , i would like to express my concern to the fact of that the different parliaments of the young are included in the socrates programme . as is natural , also have to say clearly that the council to it also you is part of the responsibility in the development of poor many programmes of the heading of external actions . we need solutions stable on these aid and , more , for the sustainability that we need in the west of the balkans . i believe that the majority is prepared to accept that , with the condition of that these resources are properly . i share with the rapporteur mrs rühle . the concerns and criteria that has mentioned this afternoon in connection with the chapters of the research and the social aid . for two weeks , welcome the joint parliamentary assembly acp . the same time , we that the fund of research and information organised of budget for the study of alternatives to the current . i that decision that , in the northern ireland that to be concerned , the union europeaha had the influence more direct and positive conceivable . in this model the respect the rules and to the procedures is guaranteed by a authority independent and , ultimately , for the judges . of this way is will first to a codecision in first reading on a text extremely complex and full of technical difficulties with a particularly sensitive sector to the protection of the fundamental freedoms . is very important that we have not fused their tasks . we know for example that the schengen system has storage of 10 million more of know that affect to close to a million and the citizens of , that europol is seeing is extend into their powers , centralised within the information from of different services of police of the fifteen member states , and that under the control of a exclusive authority and the means are not available to it that will really another task . said this , i would like the presence of commissioner to say that i feel is appropriate concern not only of the protection of the consumer to the new technologies , but also against the use of the same to promote the capacity of the citizens in order to act and to act against the european institutions . the amendments numbered as 1 , 2 , 4 to 10 , 12 to 40 , 42 to 54 , 57 and 58 , 60 to 64 accepted the text of the council to the points in the that the commission can give its agreement . is clear that the then opinion on the legislative proposals on the protection of the data will be particularly considered in the measure in that is a contribution important the debate between the institutions legislative . the treaty recognises in effect to the outermost regions a situation economic and social difficult , exacerbated by the obstacles particular between the that the residence and the interaction of damage serious development of these regions . will it to the promotion of economic and social progress by a high level of employment . therefore , welcome to the mrs . mrs sudre and we hope with great interest the development of the proposals regulatory of the commission to which soon to be taken in us far , as envisaged in the amendment 299 of the treaty of amsterdam . for many european some regions are not outermost more that a fate tourism in the map . our rates of unemployment are between the highest of the union . i am glad that the commission has adopted by broad majority the amendments that i tabled . in my opinion , is very important that the areas are included in the outermost tens of transport , energy and telecommunications . the adoption unanimously of the members of the commission of regional policy of the report presented by our colleague mrs sudre margie is the accuracy of the european parliament to one of its most important commitments . not it all of circumstances and believe that , reached this point proper and idyllic -denominémoslo - will be necessary , not already take measures in the more treatment of these three areas and , especially , of the outermost regions of the about which today . this article ladies and gentlemen not we can do all , but we confirms and , i think that is necessary , to improve and our action . for the preparation of the proposals that are necessary , the commission is obviously with the member states and the regions in question . we know that in these regions must difficulties persistent and i believe , therefore objectively , according to the level of real development , which will need for the support of the regional policy and of individual measures . a meeting of this kind could be of new to the year 2001 , when we more advanced in the implementation of the programme presented in march . the presidency said settled the matter and i fully accept the . i believe that the parliament is right in adhere to the current provisions , because , as it has said another colleague , not be is often of a malfunction of the devices of vote , but that the members look of vote , and if we could correct a vote , would be a problem of never stop . clearly that i am the that as . in short , mr commissioner , also of the authority , is necessary that the services of the commission competent , in cooperation with the coordination and member states , established a system of controls and effective in all the food chain and that the network of laboratories food of the european union is essential and work of alongside the commission . to ensure that the same science are is the cooperation with the centres of national and community research . today we are discussing a white paper on , and we should define some general principles . these procedures have already been modified and altered and we now have our own food standards agency ' . finally , also support some of the new amendments , certainly , the amendments 11 and 13 to 7 to 9 , and we want a vote of the free amendment 14 . in the light of this difference i would like to stress that the first is that guaranteed the safety of food is the strength of the on the authorities , and let us not forget that the degree of soundness of the same is given by the link weak . we a subject that is in the highlight the superficial and the vacuidad the debate that we have on the union policy of europe . let us hope , therefore , to the european food safety authority of the experience only scientific , in coordination with our national agencies . if we trace of the progress of the main diseases from of the food that affect to europe in the present , the majority of them were the first appearance in the americas . however , we must determine the preconditions for convene the authority to of such a way is ensure efficient and rapid action . we must also point out , as have made some of the previous speakers , in particular mr whitehead and the mrs gebhardt , that the white paper is much more that any new rules and regulations of the union . mr president , i am happy today and i thank the commission , because has work to improve the safety food , mr bowis and to all the commission of the environment , public health and consumer policy . i think that the amendment 17 is particularly interesting . it says that there is that consult the organisations of to consumers . another aspect is the review of the rules of organic labelling both for the sale the for more as the detail that , in regard to the traceability of the products and of its components , offers a correct information and the consumer can call possible responsibilities in the case of risk of or crisis . in my opinion , the adoption of a new legislation is not a response to breach of the existing legislation . thank you to the vote in the commission of the environment we restore a balance in including the area of application the problems with the nutrition and some important references the role of the small and medium-sized companies in the protection of the different customs food . mr president , i would like to add to the of other colleagues that congratulating the rapporteur , mr bowis , for have approached this particular problem of a way as constructive and logic . mr president , the white paper that the on food safety in itself is not a legislative not undermines the that certainly has . the rapporteur , but also many members of the commission , including myself , have the emphasis in as the food authority and , in fact , this is of regrettable in some way . the integrity and the independence of this agency will with better guarantees the security of the european consumers . for all this process i thought that we have had repeatedly fate to the time of choose the rapporteur 's report . mr president , i would also congratulate the colleague i mr bowis for the considerable effort made to include all the points of view in its report and mainly by agreeing discuss the concept of general food . to all , mr president , the policy cannot cope with its responsibility . and the more important of all , must make the respect of their peers , the confidence of the public and the will of the governments of the member states to accept its conclusions . is and i the for the future . we have the world of the health in geneva . not hidden that when the white paper is published i voted against this authority . therefore , must ensure that the european union have of the highest possible standards of food safety , to spite of that this approach - unanimously - must also look at shared the consequences that means , from the point of view economic , a need productive . the tasks will be the following : research scientific independent , advice , controls and inspections , independent of early-warning system and also coordination to restore the confidence . as the word of caution , i say to the speakers referred to the need of flexibility in connection with the production of specialities culinary local and of typical products , that this issue is already in the legislation on the hygiene . this will of the commission the task in regard to the presentation of a balanced proposal that has in mind the as of the views of parliament and of the many interested in the area of the food safety . before well , in the past , this was a problem of the driving forces behind that , from the point of view political , was the signing of the convention of ottawa . i repeat my position contrary to the amendments 10 and 19 , for coherence and , in budgetary terms to the amendment 29 , i the vote split to achieve a better definition of all the text that i believe that has been a lack of interpretation . and here is the first point : the need of that the european union , in particular the commission , strive to the countries not signatories to sign the convention of ottawa . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , we all know what consequences have landmines to spite of that in cases isolated often have great justifications military . the parliament was the first time that proposed for , in 1996 , the creation of a budget horizontal and a legal right that a a platform only for the spectrum of speeches that in this important area octs . but not i conceal the fact that , of course , the powers of persuasion of the union aimed to achieve this objective are limited in some measure for the difficulties that remain in some member states to sign and ratify the convention . the effectiveness of the action against the mines will be greater if it has been drawn up of agreement with the specific conditions of each situation . as the parliament know , already itself and , as also knows the parliament , with our proposals on the reform of the assistance community to third countries we come to the heavy control of each individual project and focus , in change , in our negotiations with the member states on strategies and programmes global . the ngos been in response to the need and , however , when almost four years since the first conference of the un on mines in geneva and more of a year since the introduction of the convention of ottawa , have to recognise that many countries and thousands of people , generally in the poorest regions of the world , are still consequences of the anti-personnel landmines and the ammunition , detonate . the commission must improve the quality of their programmes , and the speed with which the applies . i think , however , that if you again to consider them carefully would account of that some of them - in my opinion that the campaigns of awareness , with the transparency , with the access of the ngos , with things that work well in this time , but that could work better . patten also have reason in that parliament and the council must maintain its hands far of the administration and listened very carefully the comments of mr patten on this point , because we believe that we have to maintain our hands still further . mr president , our group has been active for time in all the range of demands and action necessary , from the adjournment of the production , destruction of stocks , cessation of the marketing , cleansing of areas of mines , rehabilitation of the victims , and awareness . for then to the member support the process in the fora . the mines are of course a major obstacle to the reconstruction in these countries and for the return of the refugees . the pace of disposal that we will take as it has said earlier - quite more of 100 years in cleaning up the world of landmines . a third sector see in specific measures that are should propose , examine and apply . every child that we can save the of death by the mines or of terrible injured in bosnia , africa or in any other place deserves the effort of all we . is must , in fact , to the countries press of the european union that have not signed the , as finland , or that not the ratified , and greece . gentlemen , look at you to finland . and , finally , we hope that in the framework of the future tasks of the common european military force is appropriate to the training of technical , in particular of people that have interest in the disappearance of the mines in the local level . nor is stresses that the list of countries more seriously infected understands , mainly , the world in countries development . the proposals of parliament could not be more inconsequential with the objectives of lisbon . the rapporteur solutions to the parliament that decides on the amendment of the proposal of the commission , mainly by adding a number of areas in the that is appropriate legislation and setting some rights in the area european . for example , is to extend the process of luxembourg , that is applies to the policy of employment , also to the protection and to the social exclusion . the powers more important , as germany , france , the uk and , in some measure , italy , are of agreement in its power to put to the small countries of eastern europe and the south which accession to the european union . however , for reasons legal , we do already wrong now a reference to the same in the rule 6 of the treaty . of the eu because in the convention - next with its estructura- not be can agree formally , for what is legal basis . the inclusion of the new text in the treaties could lead to confusion legal . furthermore , the rapporteur echoes of the new theory of fashionable in brussels , the so-called dual legitimacy of the european union : the of the citizens , represented by the european parliament , and the of the member , represented by the council . the danish social democrats have voted swedish and today in the report presented by against particular struggle duhamel on the constitutionalisation of the treaties . for this is , essential that the european union is to have a constitution that includes the charter of fundamental rights . a constitution only would if representing the framework of a real democratic russian european , of usa of europe . we have said believed understand , of agreement with a great part of the eu , that we that our relations international is rigieran by a treaty international . . ( in ) i welcome the report of mr . duhamel because for a contribution interesting and constructive to the idea of the constitutionalisation of the treaties . we believe that a reorganisation of the treaties and their simplification would to the citizens see clearly the area of competence of the eu - and their limits - , and the procedures to exercise these powers . to the treaty of amsterdam , in 1997 , europe was a supersindicato intergovernmental . the group edd vote in the report presented by against josé gil-robles gil-delgado on the ' . this report evidence , in fact , the concept of a union very monolithic , where all the cooperation should speak within the framework ' institutional only " and where should be aiming all the objective of super-state . is necessary , therefore , to reduce the way of joint and , therefore , to to some member states to make progress , the mechanism of the developing intensified . the structures for the governing the functioning of the internal market have companies for the success from the beginning of the 1990s . . ( nl ) the european cooperation can be useful to solve problems . these areas could be a tremendous laboratory in terms of sustainable development . the technocrats , the european judges , have to remove the ' the rate of port ' , which seeks to our resources municipalities of the commission of overseas and , especially , to protect our small . france , for your hand , has overseas departments of the indian ocean and in the caribbean . its independence will be a part essential for the credibility of this body . our vote has clarified , therefore , the role of the composition of the future authority , european but also has defined our demands on their funding and its independence . secondly , the agency european must be completely independent . is need the kind of farming and agro-industrial , the problem of the imports of goods food , the composition of the ingredients of the food for animals , the maximum of dioxins and waste of pesticides , food and other , giving priority to the security food . we voted in favour of the amendment 15 , since that we strongly the defence of european culture linked to the united . i would make two requests . a colleagues of the commission of agriculture that have tabled some of 30 amendments . also want a a 50 % of the appropriations in the budget and other 50 % in the reserve . i here that there are proposals to reduce the budget . report ( a5-0300 / 2000 ) of the mrs haug , on behalf of the commission of budgets , on the budget of the european union to the president-in-office 2001 - section iii , commission ( c5-0300 / 2000 - 1999 / 2190 ( bud ) ) madam president , my name is as signatory of several amendments to this report . ( the parliament adopted the resolution ) the real surprise of this budget relates to the external action where dominates the selfishness and the dishonour . also is possible release resources through the use of the instruments of flexibility . . ( the ) i voted in against the report haug , the same way that i voted for the proposal of my group of reject the budget for 2001 . we are talking about in particular the new pilot project that financed actions of information in the fight against the paedophilia . this shows the last few motivation is that the project of european union , even between the citizens politically active . of this way , of a 20 to 30 % of the markets will be offered of new to the competition private . given that all this is not guaranteed with the present report , i voted against the same , in with the unacceptably low thresholds national , that are taking a massive the subsidies in combination with the reductions proposals the ceiling of withdrawn the 5 % for the citrus fruit , the 8.5 % for apples and pears , and the 10 % for the rest of fruit and hortalizas- , it is clear that , for should fruit and vegetables provides , that is pudrirán in the areas and in the repairers of the cooperatives , not have any opportunity of market , with the therefore drop general of the price of this way . the farmers will inevitably have the start of their crops . i voted in favour of this report , because up to the hopes of the organisations of the sector , portuguese hortofrutícula that have called for a change drastic of the com of the fruit and the horticultural products for it to the deeply lesiva national interests . report johan van hecke ( a5-0296 / 2000 ) the following the problem is in the slaughter of all , even of the quality of the environment and the climate , the altar of in the exploitation of the resources capitalist production and of the obtaining profits . in kyoto , we agreed that the countries richest is there of its clean air , but also no of a limited in its own list of the results emissions produced in other parts that have contributed to reduce . . ( fr ) the fight against the gases is a vital element for the countries industrialised , and particularly a duty to the people of the third world that already pay with their life the consequences of climate change . the art of live is in live of wisely with these risks and uncertainties . should the same way and be redoblarse the efforts the establishment of the substances exact suspected of be launched endocrine ( to . and . the consumer and the smes not benefit the internal market enough , that is completed with the introduction of the euro . the all , the banks have to now by the member states to report to the central bank the cross-border payments that than the eur 12 500 , with a view to the statistics relating to the balance of payments . naturally , it requires to these companies strict criteria in the prudential and of laundering of money . we even cases in the that the committees for cross-border credit transfers have increased after the introduction of the euro , and not only in a small amount . the ecb could contribute to a format of data uniform european in the transactions of payments , and with the employment of a code of identification banking uniform to level within the european system international were . is crucial that the consumer accept the euro . madam president , the report of mrs peijs , on to the payments of little value in the internal market , uses the former , the european parliament on the high cost of the cross-border credit transfers in the within of the union . the report peijs what it says in the recital d of the draft resolution . the and : ' the high costs associated with the cross-border credit transfers are harmful to the confidence of the consumers in the euro ' . so , we have much to do still in this area , but the resources and the means with which we have the political on this point are much less that the existing in connection with this issue of the payments in the internal market . the market of the euro will be in the future a market , and the citizens not understand that , in this area in the disappear that the risks of change and the means of payment electronic banking through the internet is out of the ordinary , to a transfer of munich to salzburg is much more for a transfer of that munich to kiel . the implementation of this objective we will still many years of work to us and to you . in this opportunity , also deal of the reduction of term to make the cross-border credit transfers , on the question that has stressed in the report of mrs peijs . the debate is closed . however seems to be a good policy the prefer a pragmatic and of proximity that puts the small in the heart of mechanism , more that a proposal that , with the pretext of prevent small measures desultory , only to create statistics which use specific would be impossible . however , i have three comments on this programme . let us remember that the first programme of action community in this area is adopted in 1983 , is say seventeen years ago . the same , always have been in favour of that this is support in a policy efficient and pragmatic . i would say that are real economic and campaigns of innovation , are in first line and are to the risks that this has . the end we have in mind the results of the work of the conference ' science and government " that was the last week in brussels under the aegis of the centre of prospective technological of seville , and the monitoring of this conference , now that there are many interference with the issue that we today . the rapporteur lists a number of priorities to end of strengthen the european business climate . this is very important for europe , because can provide a rapid aid , appropriate and technically correct . mr president , i would also like to say the that has received the mrs . done for the excellent work . it is important find the balance right , avoid a situation continued of people that fail to expense of other people . this is not justice and , therefore , support this report . this is also the guiding principle of the charter for small companies . the programme will ensure that the networks offer this information . is clear that the fundamental objective plan is limit the migration to countries of the european union , and repatriate to few people are illegally in the european union . i particularly the need to take measures to the improvement of the internal security , the strengthening of dialogue between the european and the local authorities albanian , and , as to the commission and the council , the impetus of specific actions in cooperation with the albanian authorities , italian and greek . the poor situation social , economic and political in combination with the lack or with the inadequate safety and the legal situation to immigrants mass . mr president , to difference of the mrs pack , i think that the more groups work of albania better . that is clearly not possible to find a solution immediate to the whole of this problem , but , in a very long term not , will create a world that reasonably fair , safe and with future possibilities . also there is a gulf becomes deeper instead between the donors , we all , europe , the usa , that we money , we projects and similar issues , and the same people that is on the ground . we , therefore , the bilateral agreements that of way clear and legal set the work , the time and place of residence , the salary , the , at the conditions of work and social security , of fate that the immigrants can be as a force the service of the economies of our countries and contribute to the friendship and the cooperation between the peoples and not to grow aspirations of the nationalists and times of the cold . we distressed to people that we have integrated properly . the point of attention not must lie in the case of restrict the flow of migrants and refugees , but in how improve the conditions of life of the area to which the people can remain in their homes . mr president , i also believe that , as very well has said the mr dimitrakopoulos , with regard to the difficulties of albania - economic , social and safety of internal - remains the fundamental issue of help to this country to restore the rule of law , to give security to the citizens and to restore the authority of the institutions and of authorities . i share the opinion of the mr liese of that we need a distribution of the burden on policy of asylum and of refugees . the plan of action for albania and the neighbouring region was adopted in june of this year , and is , therefore , the sixth of the number . suffer the humiliation is the frustration , and also the right to the came as such a european , and we appeal to this parliament , but also to the other institutions , for not back community to the efforts of the work thorough work , with precision and in the time necessary for this and the staff necessary . with this report we send to the citizens of the message that we in the serious complaints on the poor quality of the legislation and on the suprarregionalización and the centralism . it is in itself of a , of course , important , but one not say that to judge by the reduced assistance to discuss in more depth this . another issue more vital is that the report raises the question of the subsidiarity , that in some measure is controversial this afternoon in this house . also be very interesting that is a study of the current situation of the legislation , to the light of this principle , to make it more simple , more transparent , more effective and more relevant , basin by freeing itself of the texts , as you invites superfluous to this paragraph 6 of this report . having studied the report with closely , i come to the conclusion of that even is a principle : political is a principle theological . is say , is that ensure the recognition of the principle of subsidiarity also to the communities more small , to the realities autonomous , to the centres , to the centres , social , to the families and to the citizens that are the only real sovereign of a legislative and administrative action . let me , therefore , to a vision of synthesis . i now give the floor to mr commissioner . it is this a area in the that we must intervene and draw up a detailed legislation to ensure that is implantará in all parties , or we must consider as a voluntary agreement alternative that is to and can control ? - ( of ) i voted in favour of the report , but i achieved the adoption of some amendments , because the matter is of the high costs of change and the transfers of the euro area in when in fifteen months is have , even , the same coins and notes in the eleven member states , will be more expensive to this money uniform outside the country in which we live . mr president , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i begin regret that the commissioner that of fishing , mr fischler , not to be here today . is that be a agreement that is the cooperation fisheries and the fisheries moroccan , but that also fully meets the interests of the fishing fleets european . therefore , we have come to a consensus to work from the perspective of a cooperation responsible , after which morocco will views in a meeting that , as you have said , is held in brussels the 30 of october , is say , the monday . for weeks , i was in algeciras , in the south coast . spanish not is very far of morocco . the time , in the future , seen that furthermore of difficult could become impossible . by the fisheries agreements the union can exert fisheries and exchange of fishing rights with third countries . i read in a magazine swedish specialized in fishing that one of these landed its burden in the el-ayun , that is described as a port moroccan . all this is in stake . danger are in all our agreements of fishing , not only with morocco , because are also mauritania and soon guinea , between other . eleven months it has taken in reach the breakthrough in the that we , the meeting of the day 30 and , in this sense , also appreciate the last of commissioner fischler , measures the results of its travel on 26 to morocco and the interviews of high level held , even with the own king . but i would like to convey the commission , represented today dignity for the commissioner busquin , a messages very brief . my question to the commission is : if not in a agreement with morocco , or if this agreement is in the terms of the commission , a agreement that will the production moroccan , will the commission take measures to compensate for the structural delay that will in the regions affected ? as imagine , the difficulties in the negotiations with the moroccan authorities have been very great . finally , in the case of undesirable that the negotiations fail , the union has the obligation political and moral of support to the fishermen and to the owners with aid satisfactory that they ensure livelihoods . is that dismantle the overcapacity of the fishing industry of the eu . for this we need them closer relations and economic policies with marruecossin detriment of the taxation of our interests european in terms of fishing . for this the commission is working on the basis of a new cooperation to a development that interest to both parties and will , for a hand , the development of comprehensive fisheries , the moroccan fleet , the aquaculture , the transformation and the research and trade , for the granting of another , possibilities of fishing to the european fishermen . rights of the teachers of languages " not only in german is a clear difference between both wording . in july of 1999 , the commission has this procedure of offence to the court of justice . therefore , to least that can harmonise the systems - something that we hope - today for today , the respect of the principle of subsidiarity cannot allow that to happen is for the discrimination that , probably , very is the request of a privilege . perhaps we can accept that the previous commission under the direction of mr santer , the better , this is the reason for the that is dissolved . states of the commission on juridicos and internal market of all the union and all the parties will have to say that united of talk about rights , support letters of rights , if in cases in the real that is to refuse the rights to certain people not be made effective for that are recognised and applied , and this is the problem in this case . this is absolutely unacceptable in a modern europe . of course , the area of the education fall of the subsidiarity , but in the framework of the contracts , the freedom of movement of the workers and the ban of all discrimination we are all , although we are in favour - and i particularly , because come of a state - the principle of subsidiarity as principle of the computer cooperation in the european union and to the distribution of competences between the different levels of europe is orderly according to the princio of subsidiarity them . in this context , it is not can speak of discrimination . mr president , it is you would be for a great expert of the terms surgical in italian , english , french , german or by a surgeon ? ( the sitting was closed to the 10.56 at the ) . we give you our deep sympathy . i the floor to mr ceyhun , that is expressed in quality of rapporteur and in behalf the group of the socialists . in the to the statements of the council and of the commission on the third asia-europe meeting , the council has informed us that not in this time . therefore , is a question that , in role of the treaties and in role of the treaty euratom , is competition of the commission , affects , or can affect many citizens , to that not only are spanish because in this area and in the area of , without that has no plan of emergency , hundreds of thousands of european citizens from the fifteen countries of the union , and of many that are of outside , because is the coast of sun . madam president , is sad , but good learnt through the minister of internal spanish , mr oreja , more of that is not any possibility of dialogue with the nationalist basque , even if in the future is a new truce . i that take account of this week a statement of the commission on the decision of the british government of introduce a tribute to the nature of discriminatory carriers of nationality not british . given that the parties so-called liberals , even european , are increasingly to rather than aligning ourselves with forces of inspiration xenophobic , racist , authoritarian , i believe that this is a serious risk not only to italy , but that is also a sign that affects all europe . however , in the report are also criticism to with the french proposal . these demands are included in the amendments 2 and 4 of the report of the mrs karamanou . the initiative of the french presidency that we today is to improve the two agreements general of judicial cooperation in criminal matters - that i quote - in particular in the area of the anti-money laundering . i say that if that the idea of the fight against the laundering of money is undermined , the fault of the council will and not the parliament . we congratulate you for this work . marinho - and i also agree - the way , is the communitisation . all the speakers agree in that is a very valuable initiative and we support their statements . what we need is that is to give europol operational capacity to act of cross-border way . cases that are too many common in our current europe . for that , before of give my support to a very furore of checks mutual of judgements , i would like to see a recognition of standards on fair . i understand that is very difficult because here we have to build from a range of instruments . but is also a need to strengthen the area of the european union economic , and is also a desire of the citizens , to which we must , as of the citizens of the union have a right to the security . in the european union , we must continue with a fight against dogged the money laundering , aware of that , especially after the creation of the single market and the liberalisation of the markets of capital and of the financial services , is a police and judicial cooperation effective between the member states , as effective as possible . as consultant financial , nothing can to be that the lawyer , as such , is not business . the same way , i would like to say that i am aware of the delicacy of the question raised by several of you on the conditions in the confidentiality of that the legal professions can be a rejection because to the judicial cooperation in the fight against money laundering . this is true , particularly in the case , of serious , of crimes of special seriousness and countries . in all , the task is so important and so that cannot be played by only the council . therefore , strengthen the rights of the citizens taking a effective instrument and recognise the competence of the court of justice , in particular in the right of interpretation and to its power of decide or not . therefore , the time that wholeheartedly support to a greater cooperation and coordination , i believe that this to a system of legal would be a wrong and we oppose it . the second point is also interesting . this is a good and is good to hear that is both support in this parliament . of this would permit labelling as several members have raised issues very sensitive to say very frankly , as the said the mr coelho , that this initiative is to be a first initiative that is the will of the council of overcome the delay in terms of cooperation judicial , with regard to the police cooperation . by which i see also as a tool important to ensure the judicial review of europol . the programme fair on the research in the area of the fishing , of the agriculture and of the agro-industria part of iv programme framework of research that is spread from 1994 to 1998 . for the importance of the programme of research for the agriculture and the fishing , is regrettable that we have established some problems that relate to the organisation of the programme . the report of the court of auditors on the programme fair , in the that is the report of the rapporteur , not been published to march of this year , although the letters of sector passed to the commission in december of 1998 and february of 1999 . on behalf of the commission of fishing , i would like to highlight several points . you emphasised , and thank you , the spirit in which the was this report , the dialogue with the court of auditors and the services of the commission and the interest that you made it . that shows that the commission not remained inactive and that led to the fact remarks that you have made . step now to the question that the mrs . thank you , mr commissioner . this prize will be submitted to the partnership ' enough already ' in the sitting of december next . i have faith of it is also with the general rule that this house has called for so many times and so insistence , although some heads of state and of government not want this . i am particularly pleased to be with you to discuss in depth a fine project as is the charter of the fundamental rights of the european union , before of that you take the final position on this text . for my part , i have no doubt that of this opportunity will be presented . it is true , however , that have been some criticism on the content of the charter . i believe that it is of a report important and welcome . for the parliament was a great success achieve - and the groups have in common in this aspect , which is a result the positive that the european parliament was represented by 16 members in the convention on the fundamental rights . the charter has is , to my view , a great commitment and can be in the card of presentation of europe , as pointed out a great official european in a holder of the 26 september of 2000 . therefore , my group is thinking that is absolutely essential include a reference to the charter in the amendment 6 of the treaty . were the thought that many that europe was the end the possibility of out of the single area of free change and the problem liberal to lay the groundwork of a europe of the citizens . in the european summit of nice , in december , the civil society has decided devoted to make its voice and support the wish of a charter that offers real guarantees for the citizens of europe . for this , also of the signatures , is important that there are political commitments , effective compliments day to day , every day - for all the member and by all the political forces . then we lloremos or for of be happy , we great event that is not a great event that more vacuo . the convention has done a excellent work . are the same time the rights of the person , the rights of citizens , but also the social rights . the right to a good administration , to that referred also she , is one of the progress more important . yet i am not sure , because i had not news to this , of how will the freedom lebreles of mr blair to speak to the clear in favour of this brilliant project . the last time , you spoke of the glass vacuum or the full . but the council of cologne , helped by the house , that has played its role of wonderment of sembrador of confusion , has ended by to forget to all the world that this is competition of the national parliaments and that they are still under-utilised , the displaced persons be gradually . a surplus of protection in terms of fundamental rights is as bad as a deficit . when one is the interventions of some members , you of that this information is more necessary that never . the great question that now we divides is to what is this charter . therefore , once again we are disappointed and dissatisfied . true , we will vote for the charter , but with the spirit of that this will not mobilise this enthusiasm and the participation of the citizens , so necessary for europe and , as usual , will be the governments - and some governments more that other - to bear the responsibility of this historic . according to the co-rapporteur , mr duff , is a step important to improve the quality of the european integration . for the that the need , to read the explanations of the convention 49 and the monitor events law of the two courts associated with the charter . mr president , long have been of the hesitate that . since the first creation of the european union , are the foundations of a constitution , a constitution for the structure supranational that is the union . the demonstration is to favour of a social and democratic europe , to favour of a europe of the citizens . the draft of charter can be , for the moment , as a text of debate interesting on the future of the cooperation between the european people to the parties , the trade unions , the environmental organisations , the churches and other many groups of the member states and of the countries of the union . i would like to insist on three aspects that my colleagues have already addressed here in this morning . the letter that today we are to adopt both reinforces the visible rights as a fundamental values and the community in the that will be based our community . i , of course one , to those and those that want to include in the article 6 a reference to the letter and the integration later in the treaties . we have already been the case of bernard connolly which white critical on the commission was withdrawn of the movement for the court of first instance . this synthesis is important from the time in that the union has to establish the legal status , in terms of rights and obligations , of the natural of third countries that are legally in the european union . for what i , i am convinced him of that , by a part , will take effects only immediate and of which , furthermore , will be binding soon . in the course of this debate , i heard some ways strong : the charter would be a bonemeal for the dog then , of course the dog the european parliament or the taparrabo of the facility of a french moribunda , mainly in the form of carry the igc . this is the reason that has been to our parliament to propose the implementation of a forum euroturco , meeting in a the representatives of the community qualified turkish and to the members that have received the mandate . has been the great temptation of establish conditions of kind of to the granting of the loans to turkey , but , in regard to this report has not been possibilities , technical for this . a time , i know raised this , of course , that the application of turkey is raises questions . the wish of the presidency is that this project is adopted quickly , if possible is of the fact 20 of november , for the next
