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 council of ' general affairs council ' , and as i said , with the decisions taken in helsinki very precise . however , validity as that is very clearly the commission in its report on the progress in the way of the accession : turkey , like all the other candidate countries , must meet the criteria of copenhagen as part of the process of approach . the president sezar expressed clearly in his speech to the turkish parliament the last month for what also from the point of view of turkey is not alternative but to this way of reforms . i fully share the words of the president turkish . thank you for your attention . also in this case have some positive signs slightly . we will oppose the attempts , some of them quite espúreos , of derail the balance that the report achieved with success , in particular the amendments that seek to the european parliament a court of past . is a clear evidence , as is clear that turkey will , like all civilian society , to be to the idea of meet their past , for very horrible that this has been . the accession of turkey on this basis and not only on strategic of the united states or of the nato enrich conventional to the european union and would be a step towards a united europe significant . it is that it is not considers that only a small part of the territory turkish part of the european continent ? we therefore in against of this report , as we have voted in against all of the reports aimed to incorporate to turkey to the european union . the damage is particularly in that is of in turkey the hope of a accession that , however , not to do because to the situation policy . report ( a5-0310 / 2000 ) of the mrs langenhagen , on behalf of the commission of budgetary control , on the report special no 9 / 99 of the court of auditors on the actions of research in the area of the agriculture and of the fisheries : programme ( fair ' has recently been written , must & agro-industrial research ' ) , with of the answers to the commission ( c5-0227 / 2000 - 2000 / 2133 ( cos ) ) i welcome this report and i will vote for it . in all of the human rights and raise the social rights , will the operations to downgrade its level . there is certainly not that of the destination is be the preamble of a future european constitution that , to the time , will be the crowning glory of of the way of the european union in the federalisation in which , because of a satisfactory , will take the few powerful and all the apply . the main objective is to service to the interests of monopolies of the european union , to coast of the interests of the workers and , in general , of the people . a typical case is in the article raising , ' no one can be condemned to death , or implemented ' . in all is said , to spite of our demands , that the family is of a man of a woman and that they are receiving training to the children , and that is the cell of the fundamental society . in the measure in that nobody has elected to the judges , this is a reduction of democratic government . i certainly , would have preferred that were directly integrated in our treaties european . however , i abstained in the final vote , because i believe that certain social rights are made of a way least frank that the economic rights . the support of the convention was the of have a text consensual that enable the fifteen governments transformed into in binding for the of its accession to the treaties . in reality , the fight against the social exclusion is a thing the status of the assistance , in all of impose the requirement of basic rights binding for the employers and for the member . for my part , i am convinced of that the secularism is a value cultural subconscious this perverse and of today . also lack the duties social linked to the property . obviously , this document is not the right to come to be binding , as is not a legal text . states of the irish government have raised recently issues on if brussels the identity irish threat and the mr ahern , the time that the accession states of ireland to the eu as fundamental to its economic success and prosperity , is of strongly to any step quickly to a federal europe more -centralizada- , because legal bases in largely what the majority of which the european want or are prepared to aceptar- now . guess what of the two is has tax . i step of that over this period of session , a total of seven reports are and national initiatives , which shows that this system , where there is , in the fund is very productive . these measures pro-active are absolutely essential to combat this phenomenon , which has to develop and more internationalized . to . by this initiative , the french proposes the adoption of a framework decision for the approach of the legislation and the procedures criminal on money laundering ( for example , traceable , freeze and confiscate the funds ) . all the member states must define the money laundering as a crime punished as minimum with a death of four years of imprisonment . as the money laundering is vast proportions in all the world , is clear that europol should have powers to combat it with a view to achieving a european strategy on cooperation police and judicial . i welcome the report of the mrs . roure on other initiative of the french presidency : this time to intensify the cooperation in the field legal to ensure that are not obstacles to prevent the extradition of criminals accused of money laundering or other crimes related to involve the use of funds illegal . madam president , this is the only report that i have not supported . it would be the first member geographically kingdom with asia and with a great tradition muslim . this applies particularly in this stage in the that increasingly use the money of the eib , but cover the risks that completely economic take . in this context i the conclusion basic article 22 which says that turkey not meet the criteria of copenhagen political and i note the amount of sentences of their actions and of its omissions in the area of the human rights , of the democratic freedoms and of its behaviour international , and the recommendations on the european parliament to this country for that is to enter the european values due . mr president , being the case of the fact that not be heard in these days no boost in this direction by part of the press and of the turkish people , but rather that there is a attempt of reaction . nicosia is today , twelve years after the fall of the berlin wall of , the single european capital divided . - it feeds across that this is not yet in a difficult and that turkey must continue perseverando in their efforts . mr president , mr president of the council , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i take the floor in this debate in my condition for the rapporteur of accession of cyprus . mr president , not cannot vote for the report morillon because we are sure of that , contrary to what that says , and many in turkey that expect , the process of accession will not to improve the life of the people . but , the same time , i believe that the situation must not pintarse too black . therefore , there is a link between both internal . conferences in marseilles euro-mediterranean the mr brok , that it has kingdom to us , is asked for the delays in the negotiations . we , the european , we have a experience that take . in fact , already is not only is , as in 1995 , of restore a balance with the this of europe , but also for the future enlargement of the union . the xenophobia , the terrorism of state and other forms of terrorism are also of this commitment and i hope that we opportunity of things also in this aspect . it is of a reality that we must tackle . but in this respect we have to be francs once more . all this means recognise the improper of the results to the date , despite that , in my answers the opinion , are still not to the stage of the situation , but there is to say that five years are not many to complex process . for this i believe that the debate that today we can be to that take awareness of the importance of this policy for all the union . it is not that all of these needs competing on the basis , but of that are new funds . the process of the violence in the middle east , the war undertaken with violence and determination against the palestinian people , to the that israel is the right to be denied a state , threaten the future of all the region . mr president , nice and in the european union has to find the balance between the deepening and the enlargement , in marseilles should achieve a balanced relationship between the role central european and its responsibility mediterranean . however , in the balances bandied about these days of five years of process of barcelona makes the idea of that content for the simple continuity of process , by the fact of that there ministerial meetings with presence of representatives of israel , of the palestinian authority , of syria , lebanon , and so on . the and is , perhaps , a scant consolation . are the many problems that affect common today to the euro-mediterranean area : the illegal immigration , the poverty , the foreign debt , the human rights , the drought and the terrorism , that destroys ruthless the life of people and families innocent , as we are experiencing tragically in spain , in algeria or in the next june . we are prepared to creerles , but the countries of south need more that promises or speeches : we must atenderlos . europe has not made any policy in terms of desertification and of water has also sometimes acted of the mediterranean countries and is must in to a policy of the environment mediterranean , that understands the position , the logical and even the diversity of the mediterranean climate . the current proposals are much more balanced . now , the agency of kosovo . we must not disappoint their expectations and now more that never all these countries need our aid . i conclude by saying , i repeat that with the words of the commission that these two proposals are the cornerstone of a process which must lead to that these countries that have been so many problems and have become part fully in the european structures . in future we must concentrate the responsibility in few or in a director , if so prefer , with the subject of that a person take really the responsibility of body that selected the specific programmes . i thank , therefore , to all and all the colleagues that have considered this important objective and i am glad that in the future can contribute more to these countries in this context , also in regard to the content . i read in some coverage to the elections looks forward to the ultranationalists had won the elections in bosnia-herzegovina . the european union - know - has involved with determination to contribute to the historical changes . the examination of the reports westendorp and lagendijk on the proposals of regulations concerning the framework programme , one and , the other , to the european reconstruction agency of us is the opportunity of to speak on the scale of the union to support that give to the balkans with the end of accompany the process of stabilisation and association . the victory of the long-overdue democracy in croatia , then in the fry , is , as we know , to the european union go much further . question time ( council ) for this same subject of the questions no 2 and 3 will be taken together . has just given to the parties a new term of four months , the resolution 1324- to work in progress in both fronts . i can in what is the situation association agreement with morocco . - ( fr ) the stability and the development of caucasus are a of the priorities of the union strategic . in regard to the discussion with turkey , we are of a important debate on this issue and you know exactly the positions of the european union to this matter . only i that the minister again to insist that in this legislation proposal directed against those who exploit and benefit of people that are in a desperate situation and not seeks to criminalise the immigrant or the immigrant potential . not only is laws , but also need measures to encourage the debate and make to the public . i think that we must fight against these crimes for all of the media , absolutely all the means , and i note that both the council of the union as the house general of the un and , in my view , the turkish government , are prepared to do so . in any case , be taken measures for the other 14 countries the desaprobaban . i a example : if the agenda of morning in my country , france and here i express in my quality of president-in-office - were to be a party of right , i would like to be taken in my country against of measures of the kind that were taken in against of austria . for my part , i i speak of values : i spoke of values such as are in our texts , i spoke of values as we have reaffirmed in the charter of the fundamental rights and i particularly - out of the fight against all the discrimination , which is included in the introduction of the texts european . that is what we do respect . may i remind you that this dialogue is political , to the couple of the future for the accession partnership , one of the elements of the strategy of pre-accession of turkey defined in this time . question no 12 by ( h-0850 / 00 ) : we are working in this respect and that is , certainly , the way that we continue to . with this reason , we the moroccan side has not responded to the supply community . it is of citizens of scotland , where , after of 110 days of arrest , any person accused of a crime must be judged or release and we can never again to acusarla of this crime . we have taken measures ( for example , specific security of supply , energy efficiency ) to which the economies of the member states consumers ' less of the crisis external ? what are the measures and the priorities of the council to short and medium-term in the energy performance and the saving of energy ? the position of the union on the measures extraterritorial taken by the usa has not changed . finally , that the european union were took note with concern of the comments made on the ground for the bodies and programmes of the un and , therefore , deplored the damage and to often dramatic of , for the people cuban economic . do not understand the council that it is a problem of extremely political and that cannot be the same distances to the victim and the priest ? for a part , this covers the office decision of the commission of decentralise , and for other can present a results in the exceptional work that is . they not respect the borders . our duty is combat the illegal cross-border activities , may of traffic of drugs , cooperation criminal or trafficking of human beings . and would be right that the commissioner , mr patten , that is a great experience - by not call it wisdom - in the management of the international crisis , be to the headquarters of this office together with the visits that has made to various regions of the balkans , that is to see how thessaloniki to work this service . but this region , the region more turbulent of europe , has never been so full of hope as today . firstly , i would like to thank the house the excellent and rapid examination of the drafts of the regulations . i would like to congratulate the rapporteurs of the relevant committees : firstly the mr . we have also achieved results immediate in serbia , where the commission , in the course of only four weeks , drew up a programme of aid of emergency for value of eur 200 million . of course , also cannot accept the proposal of that the directive to take the commission reflects the search of more efficiency underlined in our reforms . i hope that the parliament understands the sense of the proposals that i in may and that will work with other constructively on this difficult and complex issue , but not i offer my support to the amendment of the parliament of remove the requirement of unanimity , because consistent with the opinion of the court of auditors . the challenge for the third summit of seoul was further in the process asem both for the participants government as to the wider public . in the area of the relationship between people , related to previous , was the principle of the process of open to a greater asem segment of the civil society , but the initiative of the ngos of establishing a forum social is not practicable because the opposition of certain participants asian . from this point of view we pleased that we had the summit of seoul and that except a or two exceptions all the heads of state enabled to it . even have adopted two specific proposals , to know , a round table on the globalisation and the duo fellowship program , can only be described fellowships by a value of 25 million usd . the communication of the commission is limited to deal with the aspects relating to the powers that are to the community and to the member states in the tasks of the arising in the same participation . if we of the basis of that of all the states that there is in the world are managed to fly under the that have the potential economic , legal , political and legislative with the european union that account , be how we must ask ourselves what is our responsibility . the reform of the cfp is important , but to the reforms appropriate is even more important . i think now in the many stocks migration . all we are very aware of it in all the european union and even beyond its borders . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , firstly to thank you for your support to our efforts to promote and strengthen the participation of the community in the regional organisations of fishing . but in this area is already have achieved some progress , is must adjust the timetable . in fact , the continued improvement of the productivity of the ownership is already a growth of the supply and if this should be accompanied by a enlargement of the limits of the apparatus of production , to be of new , inevitably , a strong imbalance of the market . it would be much more important that in all of this every farmer of pigs are to be its own reserve for this , each rearers . of pigs have its own piggy bank . it also refers to the need to promote the organisations of producers , which differs much of a member state to another . the organisations of markets , as have worked to the date , the options for investors was process of concentration in all of this . in this case the globalisation of the economy is in trap , and this is not a crisis cyclical . all farmer , whatever the place where is in the union , will be to this mechanism . mr president , mr commissioner , the rapporteur of this report , mr garot , has addressed with objectivity and with very precisely this proposal of the commission on the creation of funds for the sector swine . is a question of balance . in this respect , i must say , however , that the colleague garot is to a conclusion and that i also , i almost say yes , i be almost agree with the proposal of the commission as is , but let us be honest , really is not in it the fundamental problem . the idea of the include to the farmers specialized in piglets in the system proposed , as is in the amendments 7 and 13 . so the things , what is what we have tabled the commission ? firstly , is the implementation budget and the practices of management of budget within the headings of specific . the court reiterates , therefore , their comments on the previous years of effects of these practices , as for example , the decision-making unsatisfactory and laeken , the risk of making that is the heavy burden of work , and so on . the dramatic events of recent past have shown , however clearly , the growing importance of the issues of management and control of the european agenda . this is penalising the member states aware and reward financially to the less scrupulous . in this context , i furthermore very briefly that the improvement of the management of the aid in the area of the foreign policy is a central aspect of the work of the commission , both in regard to the restructuring institutional of all this area and also from the point of view of the need to reduce more and more that in the past the high burden of the late payments . the european parliament is now in a evicted extremely difficult , because that this same year stated in the month of enero- that was not prepared to accept that the clearance of accounts of the year 1999 was followed by still laws of serious . i would like to address a number of problems and i hope that the mr karlsson can today answer to my questions . we must have more of figures and of more facts . already this year i to see if this is possible to that we can begin to assess the work of the directorates-general . we all know of course that the commission is introducing changes . of this way is reduce the level of mistakes . therefore , both now and in the future , be judged to the commission on the implementation of the rules . firstly , let me thank mr karlsson that the cooperation with the commission of budgetary control in this opportunity has been much better that in previous years . also , i ask that published a classification of the countries that are the worst record of maladministration in the eu and in what areas . madam president , i also thank the court of auditors for its report , and for the assessment policy that offered by yesterday in the commission of budgetary control . there is also underlined once more the efforts to introduce reforms and the need . that is necessary to include the that has pointed out before the miss van der laan , and in this agreement . for this can be given greater powers the president of the court to that take decisions on to the methods of work of the court and the way in which this is their communications . the types of vary a state to another , and its composition . in the work that was the most important on the common agricultural policy , the report particular on the livestock , the court concluded that of 1993 to 1997 the community budget paid a higher amount to eur 13 billion of eur more of the that think . i do not questions to the that we . the court of auditors must also change its methods of work . still of the welcome that . this report is has adopted by a large majority in the commission of the environment parliament and , therefore , i will defend the result of the vote in the commission . the second point relates to the export ban of that both lip-service is paid to before . for this , i must say that i have major objections against this provision and would that be rejected . in a second or a third reading we need to the famous 314 votes and sure that not the will to a report as the that now is . the commission has begun to take measures provisional , but liking , in this direction and perhaps the commissioner can say something more about this when the debate reply . are our agreement with the rapporteur when emphasises the information consumer of the risks and in the transparency , particularly in the area of the health and of the security . i think that is best have in mind the subsidiarity . however , i a great debate that i had with my daughter elisabetta when was nine years and i asked go one for the street . is must ensure the protection of consumer unreservedly , however doubling the regulations that they or even is contradict each other . i also the importance of the amendments adopted by the commission of the environment that strengthen the transparency of the consumer end and that determine the responsibility not only of the producers , but also of the distributors in the possible operations of recovery of the products . this means that when also introduced new legislation sectoral , this will to replace the provisions of the present directive . many of the amendments tabled in the report are a improvement of the document and , therefore , the commission can accept them . thirdly , the amendment 4 proposes add , in a recital , the obligation of that the member states produce reports reasoned with the cooperation of public institutions or private , competent and independent . in spite of the commission that is to favour of the cooperation and of the common principles , the wording proposal will in against the principle of subsidiarity . the commission has not received any respect to the current wording and the amendments would the provisions . the amendments 39 and 44 propose that the public has access to the information on products dangerous only when it has given the ban or the decision of withdraw the product , and that the exchange of information protected by the duty of confidentiality not should be possible between the authorities responsible of the monitoring of the market . mr martelli , as you would not rule intervene to that is completed the round of voting but , as a exception , you really cannot briefly the use of the word . report ( a5-0294 / 2000 ) of the mrs eriksson on behalf of the commission of the rights of women and equality of opportunities on the proposal of the council decision [ com ( 2000 ) was established that 335 - c5-0386 / 2000 - 2000 / 0143 ( cns ) ) on the programme on to the community framework strategy on gender equality and women 2001-2005 ( ) mr president , i refer the order of the vote of the amendments on the paragraph 10 , is say , on the armenian genocide . ( the parliament adopted the resolution ) the responsibility is of both the governments of the member of the union and of the governments of the mediterranean partners . this aid is more that justified to the light of the tragedy . the ban of night work for the women was one of the few areas in the legislation that the social of some countries , to protect to the women , was more advanced to the workers that for the workers . i hope that in the future the commission this all the years , in a , a balance of the situation , so the conditions necessary for that the european parliament can look at and discuss the situation with greater depth . for these reasons , regrettably , i voted in against . is important that our products are safe , but we should not exaggerate taking action extreme . today the agency reconstruction of kosovo is of governed by a council of direction , in the which each of the representatives of the member states and the commission has of a vote and in the decisions are taken which the majority of two-thirds . i believe that in the case of the equivalent of serbia algeria is kosovo . . ( da ) the danish social democrats have voted against the report in that established aid to the producers of the eu swine . only , that , even with openness of the french , is know that the commission rejected these proposals and in the council not to be a majority to approve them . a small variation in the supply enough to cause a situation of crisis . mr president , the genocide of the armenians was the first of all a number of massacres perpetrated in the long warfare , that can be considered the century of the genocide . because that sweden is not prepared to participate in a common defence , but in the management of the civil crisis , not support the point 15 that ' welcomes the will of turkey of contribute to the improvement of the european capabilities in the framework of the policy european common security and defence ( esdp ) ' . but beyond this obligation of remember that we must demand to all the democracies and that the european know what difficult and painful that is so difficult - that some countries have made the european not completely - , is important that these acts of barbarism that destroyed lives by ethnic , religious or cultural and that to the conscience universal not to be never more . it is , certainly , of a debate different of today , but , of given the importance that for me is turkey , today i insist on this . thank you to that already not the that the people of its right of self-determination , the peace has been possible in these places . i voted in favour of the amendments that call this recognition , today , to continue with this evidence and to recognise the pain of a people . the event happened in times of ottoman empire . not only the jové peres report i would like to bring this situation with regard to the existing regional organisations and to those that , but that i would , moreover , strengthen and end with the practice of the commission of the support of technical from different member states of . my comments are good , of course , to the matter today : the representation of the european community in the within the organisations of regional fisheries , but also apply to the negotiations implemented , for example , in the framework of the wto . my suggestion of union was with the support of the council president then , the mr point , and of the european commission of the that the decision of parliament of unite three directives only found opposition . i a example : the pvc is 0.7 % of the waste burned . i shall conclude , mr president , saying that the ppe group is pleased / of the work in this third reading . mr president , i also want to thank mr blokland for the preparation of this report so important . the incineration means not recycling . the report of the member parliament , mr blokland , that has come now to the third reading , has been for many of the states of the commission of the environment elected by the first time parliament the first proof of maturity , in the which we have learned the procedures of parliament . introduces stricter limits to the emissions of the new disposed of cement that co-incinerated waste , as the . evans . beyond the various national situations , we , therefore , see , in all member of the european union , a reduction of the general almost coverage compulsory , a greater importance of the role of the so-called systems of sure of disease complementary and the kind of factors discriminatory . it would , in change , of a proposal of directive that includes the following elements : the ban of use information medical nominativa from of the research genetic , a key point , the absence of examination of health prior to the subscription , the creation of a obligation of guarantee karadzic for part of insurance , the incorporate better coordinated of the compensation for the people that work and move in the within the union and , finally , the creation of a mechanism of mediation . every time we are more positive with regard to the attention cross-border by what that the action of the market applies to the gradually healthcare . the united states we are often of ' ' for example the free market economy of , but it would be a mistake enormous if the take as model in the policy of health . it would be a mistake that the eu should draw up rules on , for example , information health or that exigieran ensure to all the world , destroying with this diversity of systems of the safe of disease existing today in many countries and that work on principles actuarial . more forward was that had a way of be met . is stake in the health of all the citizens of our member states and the cohesion of our territories . not is no coincidence that i on this kind of problems from my origin dutch . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , the mr rocard . calls to the commission to define that in the nature of the own a certain basic to the legal systems of sure of disease . is a subject that concerns particularly . mr president , who we have over our life of the study of the issues social remember that the old manuals also include a definition of the social protection as a whole of measures of protection state to attention of risks economically measurable , of specific individual or family and to the that the individuals - unity dire straits not could meet for themselves . this means that there is to focus on the why the failure of the slovenia public . the sure of disease supplementary part of a legal system of agreements and services . with its attempt to remove the discrimination for reasons of state of health , the mr rocard . should killed the situation of the eggs of gold . the commission will immediately in the framework of its powers and i will try to the conclusions of the report . i hope also that we adopted the proposals to recognise that the status and the integration in the professions are a particular importance , for what that be the phenomenon increasingly important of the social exclusion and the poverty despite the president-in-office of a profession donation . mr president , ladies , also us , from the perspective of the commission of emac , want to congratulate the rapporteur for the document . of next item is to the communication of the commission on the recommendations of the commission on the opinion of the council on the updating of the programmes of stability of germany , finland and netherlands . this for a different reflection and it to the stability and growth is has completed with from quantitative of a certain number end , or if we introduce other aspects relating to the quality of the public sector in the next programmes . our message basic , therefore , is that the margin to make reductions tax must be supplemented with a strict control of the public . i believe that we can be seen as a positive assessment . mentioned that in one of the countries more large of europe , that is also one of the more important for the european economy , is say , germany , the end of entering in what is a stage of it overheats of its economy . . mr president , thank you mr della . i believe that you wanted that today we refiriéramos to these two areas : to the present the fight against the of bse in europe and to their developments in france . we propose to the commission and to our european partners of the union to prepare the extension of the tests to european level , in role of the scientific recommendations . so , the efficiency , the independence and the transparency will be the key principles that will guide clearly the assessment of risk food in europe . i on this point later . however , is necessary to these evidence to a level much greater . the measures of monitoring active , between the that is include the evidence the chance to prevent , of the infected animals that of bse enter in the chains of food and feed . in a situation as in the that we are always , is tempting to a solution magic , a solution that , of one , removed the risk and restore the confidence . the monday ask to the member states if there is the fear of the that gaps in the implementation of the controls in years , in against the community of legislation in the area , are a factor in the current increase of the incidence of bse . however both things can be possible , act quickly and remain serious . of you depends suministrarlos quickly . this requirement is essential , of the bse . our group calls for the immediate of the meat-and-bone meal to all of the animals while the member states not to ensure the drafting of laws on the prevention of the bse and the implementation of the european rigorous directives . i do not know if it is of the panacea , mr commissioner , but on behalf of the principle of caution , i believe that the experience forces to ban the use of today from the bonemeal in the food of all the animals , including the pigs , poultry and the fish . i believe that the debate that has begun in our house , of seek - the council , who of the commission or of the house - has made it more or less what , to superfluous . firstly , as others have said before that i , is necessary to screening systematic in all the cattle slaughtered for to the food of the european . glorying of value and we can combine the ambition of interest of the european health and the interest of our economic producers , to be , of this way , restore the confidence . i , they are not in all of the crisis . responsible for the european union must therefore express its solidarity with for them . i i accept the arrogance of some member states that , the not pursue the screening , not for a regulation . the european solidarity also has a role , because our policy has shown its inconsistencies : set-aside , meat and bone meal to ruminants , nitrates , pesticides . then i hear that the says that here , in this house , mr gollnisch that your group was the spearhead in the discussion on the bse . also feel achieve that is acote any focus and that is the export of meat to that proven security . is not possible that we , the policy , since not emphasise sufficiently this priority . i am pleased that we analysing the scope of the evidence on a basis experimental . but if generalizamos tests , if destroyed the bonemeal , if we impose the slaughter of all the herd for a only animal ill , we must demand rules health strictly to the third countries equivalent that our partners are trade and that are export to the community animals , channels and ready to basis of meat . the causes are in another part . madam president , i am very pleased that the commission has said , finally , way of vehement advocates of tests that for all the territory . indeed , france , has shown : who is , is . what is the that we cannot act ? why we need a crisis to come here to ensure that we , the parliament , we firmly believe that the public health is priority ? the link between the feedingstuffs industry and of the bse , which moreover is a form of food completely unnatural , has been to all the world . for this , i would ask you to the commission that european imposed a degree of harmonisation in this aspect . i appeal to the commission european for that a review of the total systems in force in france to solve the cases of bse . the result is that the poison is in the system , as is currently , and destroyed . of course , is the difficult coexistence , in the area , of the national legislation and a european legislation . also , there is legislation in force that establishes how so the meat and bone , the treatment to that must be put this - i think a measure of more safeguard that has been included in the system to protect the health and the security food . therefore , i asked the svc , that meets in this time , that examine this matter to determine to what age must be these tests . i refer to look at the carcasses of animals more of a certain age to detect if there is infection and , in so remove , the animal of the food . serve as the example of the technical hold consultations that caused the death of a immigrant in belgium , the use of strong sedantes in spain , the transport of immigrants crammed in holds of ships in italy and spain , the tragedy of the 58 chinese immigrants deaths in the uk in the port of dover , after of being several times in europe , and the use of widespread different means of violence and intimidation with the immigrants expelled . that is my commitment . of me i reply . the issue of the violence against women adopted many forms : the violence family , that is a crime shamefacedly hushed up , the various forms of sexual exploitation , the trafficking of women , the trafficking of people . mr president , the . mr nogueira , , obviously , in the model that we have defined , the monetary policy , is the ecb and is the ecb who is in the criteria laid down in the treaty . mr president , i believe that in the public is very important distinguish between the effect internal and the fact foreign , and i would be : will the commission now in place , little before the introduction of the euro physical , a action to explain to the people the difference between the effect internal and the effect of the foreign stability ? if the part greek not adopted the measures , the commission will continue the procedure that has already begun . what does the commission is ensure that there is a system of monitoring and of measurement . in the same decision , the commission is committed to study the systems of aid to all member states , based on criteria of specific compatibility approved until the year 2004 , in the year that the expires date of validity of the authorisation of the regime of aid french . the achievement of a europe which promotes the integration , in the european council words of lisbon , requires a effort and a joint action of . secondly , to allow more party of the experience of the players that work on the ground , of the ngos , of the local authorities , of the bodies of the social and own people that are in situation of exclusion . there are many of older that would be of agreement with this , as the people that have worked at many by a salary reduced that provides a livelihood vital not decent ( workers the area , for example ) . can be people with problems psychological . can be groups many that do not know the language necessary to achieve a work . in the us a more flexible employment guarantees that the poverty is living for shorter periods with a very short unemployment . in my own country , the 75 % of the that work and live below the poverty threshold of are women . for this , we have to deal with comply with , of the least in part , this commitment . i am convinced of the goodwill of the mrs . we must strengthen that given the procedures and the realism required . . mr president , thank and congratulate mrs figueiredo , and i also thank the other states of parliament that are not present and that have expressed the view of the other committees . i am also of the agreement in stress the importance of ngos and of the regional and local players , as you point out , and of a better reflected in the text of its experience on the ground . we have already agreed in that the committee of social protection is meet regularly with the group of contact , of members of parliament . of next item is the debate of the report ( a5-0320 / 2000 ) of the mrs rothe , on behalf of the commission of industry , external trade , research and energy , on the proposal of directive the european parliament and the council [ com ( 2000 ) 279 - c5-0281 / 2000 - 2000 / 0114 ( cod ) ) on to the promotion of the electricity from sources of energy sources in the internal market of the electricity . we need already now of a binding objectives . another point essential that the the commission has given its support this problem of the link to the network of access to and the same for the renewables . in my country , specifically in spain , these guidelines would be responsible of that of by 2010 , to the atmosphere 225.000 million tonnes of co2 additional and that we not of the objectives of kyoto . mr president , commissioner , colleagues , the proposal of the commission of create a framework in the that the proportion of electricity from of energy sources increase considerably in the european union to the term is a welcome initiative . the effort that the rapporteur , the mrs . but the threat always can come of the compatibility with the internal market . the waste are not a renewable resource , despite that every day to be more and more . consequently , this directive is a topical involuntary . with all support this proposal , . mr president , i thank the mrs rothe for an excellent report , that is precisely in this week , when we are precisely the crisis of climate change . the promotion of consumption of the electricity from sources of energy sources is a very worthy of support . we need technological fixes drastic . before well , the proposals on energy are only of time in when and however much coherence . rothe and i would like to conclude , simply , mentioning three problems that have arisen in this debate . furthermore , by a principle of coherence , the these objectives translated into to parameters national have of be binding , because otherwise the directive would be of content and of substance . for the same reason , the amendment 3 , in part , but not the amendment 7 , that is too technical for the text of the proposal . but , ladies and gentlemen , we not accept the parts that prejudice the implementation of the rules on state aid . of next item is the debate of the report ( a5-0308 / 2000 ) of the mrs theorin , on behalf of the commission of the rights of women and of equality of opportunities , on the participation of women in the resolution of peaceful conflict ( 2000 / 2025 ) . while the processes of formal peace are a territory almost exclusively male , the experience and declarations show the international importance of the participation in the women of the conflict solution in the construction and of the peace . the decisions on the implementation and application of actions of aid are of the responsibility of the cabinets of crisis and the competition here objective and specialist of the women has little attention and of recognition . apparently , protect the position of power in issues of foreign policy and of defence and believe that the interests of the women can stand by the men . mr president , i would like first to all the interest that i deserves this report , which i would like to stress excellence , the great excellence , even . also must have financial resources to help to the women victims of this situation . mr president , we have already said , and i shall not to repeat . theorin , to the excellent report that we must this , that is a very important matter and of the maximum topical . how , all , a participation substantial of women in the resolution of conflicts can diplomatic change the world and transform the culture of the confrontation dominant and the violence in culture of peace , dialogue and under democratic of the differences . for this , support the demands of the report by the that women must have a right to influence diplomatically . a report too , thorough , rigorous , capable of state principles with the clarity that is in the article 17 , bold but to the time with a great practicality and proposals very necessary . i think that is that condemn all the violations and all the forms of slavery . the fifth point is the role of the echo , the office of the european community humanitarian , in connection with the which is the challenge and the invitation of parliament to consider the dimension of gender . the problem is that this work is carried out million people , particularly women , for the that there is also a great demand but this work has not all of situation . i believe that we must make to the member states to regulate this sector by means of the directives labour , and as has been raised in the dictámen the european parliament on these directives . the people migrant is a collective important in this sector , which requires special measures , as centres of reception specialist , which provide the necessary aid . is a matter of that should deal with the countries states . the demand has increased in the last years of way meteórica but this fact has had in mind in the working general and the rights and obligations in derivatives of this . ( the sitting was closed is to midnight ) ( loud applause ) not only the system of internal freedoms and peace , but also harmonise the with rules and customs that the european community and the european union has for decades . the first step that we must give in our is the restructuring of the constitutional state is define a framework for the democratic dialogue as possible on the nature of the relations between both republics . you , the representatives of the european parliament , which are the representatives direct of the citizens of its member states , the citizens of europe , are the best conditions that are in of understand why the possibility in itself of enter in europe is uncertain as to us , the citizens of the current yugoslavian federation . and we shall continue our sitting . and that is is of a matter of great importance to the citizens and interest , of way that would be fair and necessary that we could do so du the commission said that propose a specific to this in the year , and has had its word . currently , the european union has already with a practical in regard to the publication of documents , and remember that many citizens is bold and many member states progressive have already fighting for that increase the transparency . this report requires still be much tampering with also in the parliament and i believe , therefore , that here must be improved . we welcome find in the report of a principle crucial that we also , from the commission of budgets . now we have the opportunity of should look to the issues that have not of special support part of the media and of the groups of interest and the involvement better in the debate open and democratic that is so important for the confidence to the eu . the commission of requests calls for deadlines shorter to make public documents . when it is not justified , the document should be accessible . i would also stress that all the citizens have guaranteed the access to the documents , of many forms . the dogma of the responsibility policy must not be confused with the rights of access to the documents for part of the citizens . i appeal to the rapporteurs to address the regulation mention the rights of the members , because that is that the access of the citizens to the documents , and i ask you to all that monitor very well that their interests effects in the detriment of the interests of the public . in these areas , the access to the documents is not guaranteed and is often excluded from entry not only to the citizens , but even the european parliament to that , moreover , even to be informed or consultation on of the fundamental documents . but a great drop of work still remains . mr president , firstly i would like to thank mr cashman for having made work with this report . is a very important report , that is a substantial part of exactly the new principle of advertising of the eu . ( breakdown technical ) it is not only the principle of free access to all the documents , but also , of course , of that for end will benefit of the session of the council , to which the council not take in a future , the style of metternich , its decisions and only in secret , for then not suffer harassment because power to brussels easily . secondly , i would like to make a comment on the work on to the exceptions . our people considers that europe is not democratic , that the decisions are taken closed . maij-weggen , to present in a short period as this report . of the 255 of the treaty , the regulation proposed must be taken before the 1 of may of 2001 , is that , two years after the introduction of the treaty of amsterdam . i will now address some problems that that prevent this time in which the commission can accept certain amendments . as i said , in some cases we agree , in principle , with the amendments , but we have to work together from the point of view and administrative , for example , on the amendments relating to the classification of documents and the register . we have not of any document written and i would like that , for the future also , the commission remitiese to the members , written , its recommendations . welcome we welcome the of greater importance given to the reduction of risk of the appropriations , in particular to the guarantees that can offer the small companies . report ( a5-0321 / 2000 ) of mr blokland . on the text on , adopted by the committee of conciliation , the directive on the european parliament and the council [ c5-0371 / 2000 - 1998 / 0289 ( cod ) ] on incineration of waste mr president , i would ask the liberal group , is what i also in both a of the co-ponentes , that address the issue of a form a little more practice ? therefore , is a wish common of the ppe-de and pse groups that the vote be postponed until november ii . i therefore refer the report to the vote villiers november ii . i followed the order that i have given the competent services and the house not agreed else . as president of time , today i that only say this , as mr , i that i agree with you . beyond the negative attitude that were in the first stage , when the european parliament denounced the threat in britain , and in the second stage already , when the scandal in britain had come to the point more acute , the measures is limited substantially to this country , without any programme of immediate were and restructuring of the production of to european level . for this we draw four major lessons that we have in mind in the future . we voted in favour of this resolution . the increase the number of cases in the new england of variant of the disease of creutzfeldt-jakob disease and the situation in france have brought the agenda , even with greater vehemence , the question of the ' mad cows ' ( bse ) . for fear that do to the panic between the citizens concerned or by prevent disasters trade , some governments have not given in time to the commission real the proper information or not have been , since the first time in that demonstrated these dangerous phenomena , to block the immediately consumption of the products in question and to the export ban . the farmers cannot meet this crisis alone : is that implement a plan of monitoring of the farming and a number of measures to recover the confidence of the consumers . the inability of all the european council ( , commission , parliament ) to define a political community relevant that reply to the needs of security of the member states more directly affected by the problems of hierarchy between the obligations of the single market and the demands of health and safety of our people . we have achieved , then of many debates with the council , satisfaction in several points . the days of the landfill sites are coming to the end and be replaced by technologies more beneficial to the environment . that participate in the processes the social and , especially , representatives of the groups concerned to the that is the programme , indeed , although we welcome for the resumption of the growth and the fall , we must not hide the persistence , even the situation , of the inequalities . i believe that the rapporteur to calls for participation of the public authorities , of the social partners and of the civil society in measures to overcome the poverty and the social exclusion current . the ' workers poor ' , of which the majority are women , employees to be , to the low and in the more total insecurity , they the trail of poverty that the speeches official on the recovery ignore completely . for three years , the prime minister established a unit against the social exclusion that coordinates the action of government reduction of the social exclusion preparing solutions to common problems common . to now there is more of in 60 rotores that in the area of thousand areas of football . the dependence , that is about the 50 % of all to the union , can be 70 % of the here to 2020 if not , is a development of renewable energy sources . it is true that we must take a regulation of security more advanced and effective in the the use of the nuclear energy and the storage of the nuclear waste . we must seek , therefore , a energy that is natural , but that will genuinely continue to however be used in both not be the proposal for this . the preparation of the asem 4 must be the opportunity to say the demand for a democratic , part , the information and conclude by assuring you the intervention of the assemblies elected and of the civil society - that has mainly the implementation of a forum social - and , furthermore , taking account of the rights completely social , environmental and human . is that in the last time this parliament has been victim of some ambiguity and even of some criticism . that was the same were changes for the happened that this parliament in its infancy , because that was in fact fight and is endeavour to have more powers , more resources , more presence and for assert its representativeness . the central american parliament , as the european parliament , must be gain in prestige , in credibility and in legitimacy , based in the activity of their political groups , because the life of the parties is , or should be for the least , faithful reflection of the societies that are . in regard to the human rights , we have given in 1990 the programmes of cooperation in favour of the human rights respect of the training and by awareness in this area . ( b5-0855 / 2000 ) the . mr bob van den bos , on behalf of the eldr group ; the extreme confusion that has characterised the electoral context in recent weeks in coast of coast , before however model , economic is symptomatic of a country in crisis , in crisis economic , social and therefore chaos political . the political leaders , military and religious must do all so a national reconciliation . is that need to the debate on the ' marfilidad ' , this debate confusing that is not another that the implementation of the preference national that we are us in our own countries , which therefore logic and is the implementation of last the cleansing , is totally opposed and deleted any reference or rather the ' on marfilidad ' in the constitution of coast of marfil . it also has supported the suspension of the constitution , with the intention of remove to the maximum opponent , watara , based on that their parents not were both ivoirian . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , although coast of marfil was a bulwark of stability and democracy compared with the countries of central and western , is long tensions of nature ethnic and religious , recently , we have given abuses of power by the previous government of president badié , was to take a violent of power by the military . we condemn the violence ethnic and especially to the responsible political demagoguery which has caused the . of next item is the debate on the following proposals of resolution : the next meeting between the asean and the eu in laos in december we offers a chance of crucial show our strong condemnation of this regime . furthermore , i have no confidence in that our own ministers raise these issues there . asean is , in the full sense of the word , in a tiger of role for its failure in meeting the terrible events of burma . the junta has said that has intention of the means party in the whole . is a historic debt and , naturally , the situation is difficult . these improvements light - that is not must certainly the author of the amendments of the socialist group , mr sakellariou - have been over recent years and have been to a situation that is not certainly more tragic but that is disastrous and that of any way is not to the stage of the challenges of today 's vietnam . mr swoboda , the european parliament is flexible , efficient . however , and that , in hanoi , the american president is not only in the strengthening of the mutual cooperation , but that the will be very firm of promises by of vietnam in regard to proceed to a improvement drastic of the miserable situation in the country in terms of human rights . i the council and to the commission that protest from strongly to this flagrant violation of the freedom of religion committed by the vietnamese authorities . the process has led , also , to the signing of the agreement of cooperation between the commission and vietnam in 1995 . of course are parties that were contained in the proposal of resolution put . i agree in that have to do to help them , but we would contribute to more changing the situation that has caused the unfortunately and the countless people of all the world in . the issues that we are analysing the and are to long-term . mr president , mr commissioner , the floods that for a weeks committed to many areas of the north of italy , and to other member european - uk , spain , ireland and france - is to make to this parliament , the problem of a urgent action and extraordinary to alleviate the needs of the people , of the communities and of the companies concerned , as the policy of a more long-term that prevent their natural disasters of this scale . the sector of the transport , given its continuing growth expected over the 38 % in the next década- , will be the most important that requires measures . it will . this is part of the perhaps practices and customs of this parliament , but i think extremely sensitive to believe that the european parliament adopted commitments in a subject as this , considers the possibility of trust a mission to the commission as it with a very low participation . ( the parliament rejected the request ) . the economic and social policy of the eu , which has led to the reduction of the greater purchasing power and of the possibilities of the workers contributions , the emergence of new diseases and the impunity of the pharmaceutical companies have caused a sensitive increase of the expenditure on health . furthermore , it opens up a broad field to the private insurance , with the only condition of that not seleccionen ( the principle ) to the sick and the materials of sure for diseases . who is not and spent much money , already not account . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , i am pleased to be today in presence of a group of visitors of my beautiful constituency , which i thank of heart . this is that we give to the institutions enough time for that is adapted to the new provisions . the report has in mind a consensus growing tends to point out that the inability of the current legislation to take account of developments in the financial sector of these or . say yes to a also closer consideration of the technical minimizadoras of risk , and say yes to the also enlargement of the idea of the committee of fundamental basle . and also consider satisfactory the important contribution that this report for all to the process . and , finally , and this is a key point , we are absolutely aware of that we must respect the institutional balance in the treaty established . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 . allow me , mr president , that before of end use this time to congratulate the ombudsman mr jacob söderman , thank you for the work that has made in the fight against the maladministration and , for that , in the also contribution to a greater approximation of the european citizens to the life of the community institutions . mr president , fortunately the european parliament has always maintained , of agreement with the tradition left , which is to strengthen and consolidate the situation of the ombudsman . the vote will take place tomorrow at 9 . after all , of the access to the documentation is a fundamental right civil and for a candidate must not documentation more important that the connected with the tests . we legitimate that a candidate can have access to the copy corrected , now that the access to the documents is a fundamental right , recognized also for the charter of fundamental rights that we adopt this week . we must be . the example should follow the rest of the institutions and bodies , as has recommended the commission of petitions . the citizens of the european union should be a positive impression when are with the european institutions . and what new in this case is that must be guided in its practices for the pursuit of the excellence and prevent all the that , of agreement with our experience , can undermine credibility in the member states . on to other institutions , is the same of the possibility of taking the procedures raised in this report or in the requests of the ombudsman . the minutes of the sitting of was distributed yesterday . if this is what prevent a disaster inevitable we are to a failure democratic , but if not consider important come , not deserve the votes . are fair the criteria of greater prudence adopted , however , must also consider other aspects of the question , in particular the rate of solvency that is a rate of weighting for type of compensation that approaching the risk of credit implicit in the active of a bank . creation interim of the european school of police ( eep ) this cooperation police is essential for that is to achieve the great objective of the european citizens to provide a high level of safety in the area of freedom , security and justice . the enlargement of the european union , with the extension of the area of free movement of citizens , must be accompanied by a security and of peaceful co-existence between the member states . for what i see that , the conditions in the prisons french and portuguese are very different . is that , if wants , there are common standards that defined , because if not first you will take a completely colourful police training . however , much to the work of mr posselt , for end is provides that the training of staff of police must also include the human rights and the defence , is also important and appropriate in this time the suggestion of creating a school of police virtual that take the potential of the internet . but here we are in strasbourg , to a house almost the deserted chamber , to the unthinkable . our own prime minister , the mr . is a good idea and in a union in the european that the people have of freedom of movement , freedom of trade and freedom of establishment , in the that the travellers of scotland can go to sicily or greece , is expected to develop a common system for the maintenance of the rule of the law . in the netherlands , the police this trained in the defuse of the conflict and in the repression tolerant , and is considered as phenomena social normal the existence of subculturas , the ethnic , the use of the churches and ports of refuge for part of people that are of a permission of legal residence and the organisation of protests policies . who believes in the good solutions that are not must have fear of confrontarlas with the solutions of the other . i hope that the college will provide in this point a approach for the future . a good illustration of is that what is to staff currently with the behalf of europe in networks , a europe that is to the united in two , however maintain superstructures useless . the majority of the cases of abduction of children is still managed very appropriate and efficiently by the authorities central of all the member states . of way that is essential that we fills this gap for reasons of fairness , of realism in the development sociological and of equality of rights and obligations for all the citizens of the european union . now , we welcome this measure and we are to our vote . from our sympathy for the objective raised , we are of agreement with the measures proposed . the question of a day refers to the people that is often to the other part of the world to do to its son . the positions of the european parliament to this matter , and the case-law of the court of justice of the european , confirm this approach of the commission . i know that the fifa has already played to obtain more time and it has doing more of the account before of a response to the statement of the formal commission made in 1998 . is natural that the commissioner responsible is of the issues sporting who is in the future to the union in the wada . the decision uk of apply a tax to the carriers road not british ireland is obviously a very small but open market , and almost everything that buy from the uk . in conclusion , we are rushing in the maintain this debate in the european parliament , but i welcome the fact and the statement of commissioner vitorino , that expresses clearly that the uk has the right to introduce the system of the euro-vignette , always that respects the rules and regulations in force . mr president , the costs and the tolls are sensitive , and i can confirm to the case of austria , where we are always with this issue to work , and where we are always solution to the traffic . the question is not discriminate against the rest of drivers or carriers of europe in benefit of the british drivers . will to pay for the vignette more of what you will have to be not that there is no special exemption or a basis per diem . the 22 of november , is say the same day the fiftieth anniversary of the crowning glory of the king juan carlos beiro , that opened the way for the democracy in spain , a of the high figures of this democracy has to their time of pay with their life their faith in the freedom , in the tolerance and in respect of the other . guárdenlas because all very . the position of the european union negotiating was in the safeguarding of the integrity of environmental kyoto targets in the areas of change of the use of the land and the forestry , the question of the ' sinks ' , the relationship between the mechanism of kyoto and the internal measures , known as ' complementarity ' , and the implementation . with a view to prepare the next sitting , the eu must not resume the discussions on all the issues , but focus in the priorities fundamental , in particular the mechanisms of the ' sinks ' , the ' complementarity ' and a system of rigorous enforcement . the mr . he is now under the water and not know how will it in collapse . finally , i welcome that have not given in the matter of the reductions , particularly because in this area is very difficult to measure exact . is not possible backpedal on of the nuclear . however , we have to continue . in may of 2001 , in bonn , should the equality . during the conference of monitoring of bonn , that is held in may of 2001 , should be still such commitment . if we have all a world in the that live in the future , the challenge that we in connection with the climate change is clearly one of the most of 21st . the same applies to the measurements part-sessions of the wells of co2 , as the planting of additional forests . the conference of the has will continue , as you us what has announced , madam commissioner , the spring that is in bonn . madam president , thank you for your speech commissioner wallström . if there was not in a disunity was in the relationship between the delegation of the european parliament and the commission . not achieve a agreement in the next meeting of the cop6 is not a option . we had a very constructive attitude and about the minute of those discussions in the has . has the floor , mr president-in-office of the council . on the coordination of the systems of social security , the system taxation , to the issues of asylum , of visas and of immigration , to the negotiations in the commercial field of the services makes no mention of great - refinements , some countries are having great problems . i add that still not have come to a agreement on the distribution of the seats in the european parliament . agree that the union will to work after of new accessions , all the that it is in this time actively , is a crucial step for the future of the union and of the union enlarged . naturally , the president is invited . we will in nice , and of course we hope that is ratified . are because you as the debates will be very immense in nice . so that the union can be effective , the conference should make significant progress in this respect and this is also extend the procedure of codecision . it has referred to the codecision for part of the european parliament . ( applause ) the challenge is the reunification of our old continent , a enlargement that has not parallel in regard to the level and for that is what must prepare for the summit of nice . madam president , the main objective of the summit of nice is extend the european union and prepare to the union for this enlargement . madam president , mr president of the council , mr president of the commission , i believe that to the date the governments of the fifteen will not have covered of glory . this method is not good . now is the adoption of decisions by qualified majority in 49 areas . the decisions by majority kill the right of veto of the parliamentary democracies of the countries states , but the eu is not itself in a democracy parliamentary . mr president , europe needs a leadership , clearly , needs to needs elections , needs dynamism . the principle of blackmail of the declaration is not acceptable , to the view of the conclusions of the european council of biarritz , even when this was last informal . these are , mr president-in-office of the council , the elements that might the results of nice , and i have also our accession in the point that has mentioned to purpose of the services of general interest economic . i will position to the treaty of nice when be the result , however , is a experience something schizophrenic attend to this debate . in amsterdam the heads of government and of state suspended and that have to effort in this direction in nice . if the gap between the countries large and small in the council is too we suffer in the years of a huge crisis of legitimacy in the within the eu , already that the small will of feel comfortable for fear to not to defend its identity . the french president and the prime minister seem more addicted for its own future political that for the of europe . can be serious problems legal interpretation of the not incorporate the text the treaty , but only sign it politically . furthermore , i great importance of the institutions to strong to our europe for a balance institutional regard to the acceleration that it has managed to economically with the euro . the purpose of this review is the shape of institutions more effective , right now for a europe enlarged , and the same time , , the reduction of undeniable democracy . but is also the restructuring of own committee 133 : increase its accountability , ensure that its agenda and its conclusions are accessible and its composition is comprehensive and not inclusive . mr president , i am not only the president-in-office of the council , but also to all the governments of the member states , when i say that , if a agreement in nice on these difficult issues , they not disappear . the process of codecision for the last year has shown that works . and in this direction would say that we should give for course that the area of the policy trade will be included in this extension of the majority qualified . when a child was of seven years , had to flee their country of to the progress of the army rojo , a transient that motive in the cunetas for that not the did he the aviation soviet . the colleague must sarlis mentioned just now , with reason , to the letter . we cannot more of it . the understanding is years and , although perhaps not the is minimum common fragmentation , is certainly a marginalization common small , even very small . - ( fr ) mr president , i would firstly like to thank the members , because i think that it is of a debate of a great quality . therefore , not in all of is not proclaim the charter , is not a problem of transparency . in fact , the system of the rotation equal also concerns to the large countries , that , in a given time , could be , commissioner , as the other . i believe that the parliament will see that the european union has improved the institutional that you will meet the continuation of this development of the european union that we are to all . the vote will take place tomorrow . mr president , i too would like to the statement of mr . i am completely to that nobody threaten to a minister invited , is turkish or of any member state . is obvious that in this house of the democracy we ensure that the european security of all our invited and of all the that is under our ceiling . the minister of health , by which the pills are not damage and with the statement of ' we tumours and with the marijuana ' , how the basis of the dignity of all human asking for the liberalisation of the drugs . what , that is not is a good way of act , by not say a snub to our parliament , and except that , that the european members are say on the human rights , when just vote for broad majority of the charter of fundamental rights , the same will be absent of this forum of the european union , the which , the last year , many of them had been to dialogue with the ngos and the institutions . we enough on this matter . already before the european parliament of amsterdam and also the commission were in favour of the responsible in that area of foreign policy outside vice-president of the commission and take the same time the role of high representative , with particular obligation and relation to the council with . as the had of the summit of feira , the vote a resolution the 15 june , the european parliament should adopt tomorrow a text that sums up its position , in the council of nice . the development of the esdp is a new point of departure for the european project and , therefore , requires that we clarify the institutional framework existing . the council should adopt european in nice several decisions , that step to quote . for the first debate , to principles of year , the commission will table a , country by country , based in the last year budget , that describe to you the state of the commitments , of the payments and of the amounts that are for settle in connection with the main programmes financed by the community budget and for the edf . we have worked also in the question of the regional cooperation , notion that raises some resistance by some countries of this region , that not want that is the again to tie in a last of which have been , and i say that , you to this summit , have understood that not had contradiction between a regional cooperation and its progress , its approach , with regard to the european union , particularly through the process of stabilisation and association of confirmed and established in this time . i had place a summit with the india , under portuguese presidency , and is held a meeting with the ministerial asean . not is a reason for desalentarnos . this the range of the missions : humanitarian aid , evacuation of national , prevention of conflicts , but also for the separation of force adversaries comply with . this is , of course , based in the autonomy of decision of the european union and in the recognition of basis and political of the commitments adopted . he has done more to anyone as personification of the resolution of conflicts in a part of the world that i know well and has been praised properly in all the world for their efforts . part of the emphasis in the media to the creation of this force in the country i know that better i staggering . i would like to thank the mrs lalumière . that has highlighted the report on the prevention of conflicts that is the commission together with the solana for the european council of nice . thank you , commissioner . that is , in my opinion , the real test for the european union . the impatient citizens complain that the european democracy is too slow . the citizens must also have the greatest possible access to the information and to the documents . in the current proposals is completely uncertain what should be this role . with a european flag in the car , it is for all sides , to the more desheredado of the areas of refugees . this is the right , mr president , for the that europe must , in my view , decide to act now . if not as we european play a role responsible in the solution of this conflict with independence of the usa , have that in other areas of conflict is not we should not confidence as mediators . only that its commitment staff not replace the policy of the european of security and defence . i can accept certain points of particular report of the them . the abandonment of this broad range of instruments of prevention of the civil conflict will long-term as a mistake . not i enough the statements of the council with the comments of that we have already adopted resolutions and that this will in any direction . as mrs moreau can , reject the two reports , and we are committed to use all our forces against the policy of that are expression . third : we must create a lobby free of weapons , as in the agenda proposed question olof palme , from the baltic to the black sea states . i would like to congratulate mrs lalumière for her report . the report brok is also the office of high representative of the common policy in terms of security and defence . what pity , you say to mr van order and to my other colleagues , because my colleagues across the pond , the sea of ireland , have much to offer in this area : the tradition , the experience and the practice . the european parliament , in cooperation with the national parliaments , is , in our view , the body best for this . i believe that the lessons that we learn in this last experience we will in the future when we face to the need to establish a policy and a capacity of european defence , that , this is a component , as essential of the european integration as it is the euro . also , i think that the combination between these different means is a property , is a possibility , specific to the european union and that the task before us , if this policy is and is , is the development of a real culture of the european prevention and the treatment of the conflict . i think that is to develop a dialogue positive . mr president , ladies , gentlemen , ladies and gentlemen , the resignation of the commission , in march 1999 , of revealed the need of reform its structures and their methods of work . the reform , which can be conceived from above , has of be clear and has expressed to the trade unions , the whole of the staff , and that is indeed the whole of associated staff to all this process . this will require time available , but is inevitable and essential for the reform . the reform of the commission is a act essential for the future of our institutions . drafting my report , i have consider not only the white paper , but also the second report of the committee of wise men and the resolution adopted in this parliament the last 19 of january , proposal for michiel van hulten , on the work of mentioned committee of experts . the court of auditors says in his report that is not opposed to the abolition of visa for always that this abolition is replaced by other procedures that provide guarantees , the least equivalent , and to involve the other players to various the financial controller . all the major organisations are more open , are more transparent , are using the technologies of the information of new ways ; we are moving away from the traditional forms of vertical of organisation , and the information in all the organisation and between organisations . mr president , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , in spite of its scope , the content of the white paper presented by the commissioner kinnock is not directly a subject institutional . furthermore , we have of this afternoon in this framework of the debate on the common foreign policy . finally , is that address the thorny issue of the proposal early retirement of . the decentralisation of financial control to the directorates-general is a step important , but only if the staff receives the training , if we have of resources and if the responsibility of the heads of line is requires properly . the bodies and their heads of have have opportunities to make clear the best possible management . in the dark also here is promises but not to clear or data on how we must apply these rules and not . the issue of the externalisation is finally clarified . this reform is necessary to be fully to god and cannot be imposed by rules . as all new that change situations consolidated , is clear that there is that rapidly and be careful . however , we will withdraw the amendment 6 and will to ask a separate vote in the last part of the amendment 15 because we believe that the current not system in the ecb is given to this situation . the time previous that was a member this parliament , the president of the commission was jacques and worked together with the commissioner brittan and , before it , with the commissioner cockfield . madam president , commissioners , ladies and gentlemen , we this reform with justified hopes . on such as the crisis of the bse , the price of oil , the gases have a european component i . the public also must have the feeling that the commission is of really accessible and transparent . for the european parliament , the reform is a question vital on the work that has crucial , in both that budgetary and legislative that . defines many procedures clear by several ways to condemn suspected acts illicit number of the institution in the that is used the official . therefore , i am convinced of that have the pleasure of listen in future occasions . mr garriga polledo , let me say briefly that we retain the categories of the financial perspective . the reform has to be done by the staff of the commission , for the that precise of acceptance . we think that a reform cosmetics is not in the sense of change . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , first i would like to highlight the quality of the report initiative of the mrs . sauquillo pérez del arco arc in connection with the reform of the commission and its effects on the effectiveness of the relations of the european union with the countries in development . want more responsibility . before of speak of aid to projects , is that of up to the causes of all use existing seeking to pursue and who has taken , has exploited and has abused of the people that are in need of state . precisely because the mr nielson is faithful to this collegiate responsibility will , certainly , the proposal this evening . more serious still is , in the proposal of the commission , the separation territorial that is . in 2001 , for example , the financial responsibility will be desconcentradas in 22 delegations , the systems of other 15 delegations will be up-to-date and is there 40 new jobs of officials to the external services . maritime safety but or the erika , nor the ievoli sun , were french vessels . of this is a fact of the priorities in the agenda of the commission from the fatal collapse , 11 months ago , the erika . we hope and trust in that the 21 of the december council of ministers will help you to the determination of the european institutions to improve the safety at sea with really the adoption of common positions for the three texts . i think that is to our scope but we must ensure that this agreement between in force . i welcome the attempt and the minister of that will may also with these two reports , by this i positive in principle the proposal of that , to be possible , we issue in the december . the result of all this , we have produced a report parliamentary amendment of the directive of that is improvements in various aspects on the strengthening of the system of classification , as the and instrument for ensuring the safety of shipping . however , the legacy of so many years , in the that the materials were simply dumped remains , and , in occasions indeed is raised again to haunt us , often with very serious consequences . with this purpose the publication of information is essential to provide that the public to information , telephone of emergency , and so on . i hope muster the of second series of proposals and of the creation of a european agency of the maritime safety . i think our their arguments , but only we negotiate about of results that have been addressed in the council . we know , certainly , that in the past the control of port state control has not been a subject strong in the maritime safety , we know that not all societies have been of a serious and right , but rather , the role of shoddy roadworthiness tests of the ships , and we know that the oil , double hulls are bombs of all floating . we are building a new credibility , by a hand , and we should not spoil it , for another , by a action of the commission wrong . the that not take that responsibility has of stay of our waters off and ports . the report watts tightens the measures against the vessels that present risks serious or that flying a flag-of-convenience , without this type of flags . in spite of all , i am glad that the proposals of the commission have included the main demands made by the that have been elected by the french coast , ban of the oil with if , strengthening of the controls in the ports , and assessment of the societies of classification . also , i share his point of view of promote the obligation of data dates recorders . the guarantees of navigability of a ship called on the important measures societies and on the responsible inspection , as has already been said . finally say that these measures are of a strong commitment to achieve the degree of safety liked . all the world it is saying , and i think completely justified , that it has still not reached the current 25 % demanded of control by the port state . is not time of simple commitments , of the that for a anticipate some a difficult compliance . on of the society of classification point out again in this time - and this is also my task - that the main attention of the current debate seems to be focused on the responsibility . in the control the port , is important progress in the tightening of the rules and in the efficiency of the inspections . the laxity of the large companies is certainly that are more powerful that the democratic institutions . . ( the ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , a subject which is the subject of the safety vessels and , therefore , the safety of the people and the protection of the environment , is a matter very seriously . the reports that we have tabled are in this direction . we agree with the imposition of a minimum to damage personal or death and damage and with that is for the member states to the possibility of increasing these limits . the introduction of new technologies and improvements in the designs of the ships are part of this important task . that is necessary to make a consensus the highest possible level of regulation and of maritime safety . i am pleased that the commission will make to support many of the amendments proposed in these three reports . the commission is in provision of accept the amendments 6 , 7 and 8 , but only can accept in part the amendment 1 . is hope that the imo of the timetable adopted of phasing-out in its meeting of april of next year that . the work of the commission is in confirm that the society of classification is fulfilling the criteria of the directive qualitative and to the monitoring of the work of the societies of classification . the commission appreciates the support received by the limit that originally proposed . of new , this highlights the urgent adoption of the of a strengthened , preventive and remedial measures community for the protection of our seas . mr turkish , i understand your message , and really wants in this . what is clear that be to the is that now is already in hands of the council make rapid progress . think that by the my report is agreement . madam president , i would like to present the proposal of that is change the way that amendment of start with the words : ' , in this urges the council , which mr stockmann takes and commission . report ( a5-0329 / 2000 ) the mr pomés ruiz , on behalf of the commission of budgetary control , on the white paper of the reform of the commission ( aspects relating to the commission of budgetary control ) [ com ( 2000 ) 0200 - c5-0445 / 2000 - 2000 / 2215 ( cos ) ) mckenna report negra report ( a5-0336 / 2000 ) the immunity of capital is strengthened with the privatisation of societies , which have last to hands of the shipowners , for the lack of a control substantial of the inspection by the authorities state , and even by the complicity of these authorities . for that is very positive that the rapporteurs watts , whose and piétrasanta tried to close the loopholes that were still in the proposal of the commission . the responsibility of the implementation of these measures is the member states in the . the oil of if not should be here for when after 2005 , 2010 or 2015 have disappeared in other areas . however , the mr hatzidakis is proposals that restrict the of the commission . the promotion of a more strict rules to international level must remain a fundamental objective of our policy of maritime safety . is particularly important to in clear that the principle of that the polluter must pay is fully in force . this action community has to be doubled of with a new of the imo , the which , with a real power of police to do that is the ism code would be a instrument , effective , to image of europol . while the sanctions for infrigir the rules are lower that the expenditure for observed , the companies that want the maximum of profits will opting for the wrong way . preparation of the council of nice in all of push up the human rights and the social rights , the charter will the operations to them . unfortunately , echo in this point lack in the resolutions tabled . but , as many , regretted sometimes that the prime minister , lionel jospin , has been said in rarely during this six months ' to cause of the cohabitation ' , i know the important impetus that has been constantly to its ministers and wish to . in regard to the social field , the proposals are very timid and even give substance to effective transactions in the accepted summit of lisbon , in particular in the need to the strengthening of of the economic and social . in this sense not should be no decision on the development of the eu that conllevase the risk of alienar to the citizens of europe . the british people want a reform of the eu to increase the responsibility and the efficiency . this text is the pretext of the future ( and increasingly distant ) enlargement of the strengthening of a system already exhausted . now , the thing is that burns not only between the ' great ' and the ' small ' , but also between the ' great ' . . ( sv ) we welcome and support a report that deals with many of trends important on the policy of common security and defence . as each year , this report ritual of european parliament , devoted in principle the assessment of the annual cfsp , in fact of the method of recognised the deviations progressive that are , from a gap of nature federalist obtained in a given area , in seek urgently the enlargement , and therefore of the treaties of the decisions as of the european councils . chat with me , is aware that it is organizing a force of the member of europe , a force capable of intervene to keep the peace in europe and environs . moreover , is not task of the european parliament define what capacity must have a force of european intervention or if in this context , for example , must have of capacity of intervention air and marine . the future conflicts not solve with speeches but that by the military of a policy of social justice , economic and ecological . we are opposed to this radically european army , as that to the nato and to our own national army . for example , there are points that are too far in connection with the cfsp and the nato , in the sense of the use of ' threats speeches armed ' as instrument of pressure in the activities of prevention of conflicts , and that clear to the letter of the un . a decade after of the revolutions that occurred in the this , we think a sad sign the that the ' project of european peace ' sends with these reports to the applicant countries . precisely six of these paragraphs contain statements that have to do with the issue . unfortunately , includes the clear objective of cancel the laws on the national abortion or even penalise or the traditions of faith that opposed the abortion . if the know , dozens of thousands of women relevant of the european union is alegrarían of that we are dealing with here of the legislation of the work domestic that there is in the economy black . smet proposes , is , that is a definition of european work domestic . the needs of the workers domestic should this to the drawing up legislation labour . they have paid the price for their pension to the various national governments that the have done disappear very quickly and a good prestidigitadores . finally , the group union for the europe of the united reminds urge that the citizens of the european union expect more that the never that measures of reform and the procurement into with the inclusion of the diversity of opinions and convictions that are in our countries . in regard to the human resources , the merit of the agents and a greater transparency in terms of policy in general of staff have set up in the strengths of the new administrative reform . with opportunity of this explanation of vote , i reiterate and emphasise that , unfortunately , our parliament is not all the powers that should have . i would like to conclude with a speech on the procedure . indeed , mr barón , the reports are contradictory . not is a desire of the socialist group . this is precisely the right of that we with difficulties , is a summit and all the important that we always say . i of do this that the commission will be meeting tomorrow for the afternoon to try to all of understand clearly what have been the conclusions of the igc . ( the parliament agrees on the proposal ) i would very grateful if that this request . and i condemn that he , to one of the that was months as shows of solidarity , the murdered in rotterdam a fraction of the grey wolves . of course , this would have not taken if in june the council would a little more attention to , or if would at least something of attention to our first reading and to the proposal amended of the european commission that is already approached much to what we wanted . thirdly , is that consider the provisions that we take will effectively to the improvement of operation of the internal market and if are provided in connection with the objective that we are pursuing . the second concern , mainly legal , we have been , for the contrary , to make in still closer the interdependence between the harmonisation of the market and the protection of the health and to follow the recommendations contained in carefully the reasons for the the court of justice which has recently the directive on the advertising , reasons that only through a reading instrumental to the conclusion of that both aspects are incompatible . mr president , ladies and gentlemen , 80 fatal cases of the new variant of the creutzfeldt-jakob disease in europe and the european union , the council of ministers , the commission and the parliament decide ban the bonemeal and the entry of cattle of more of thirty months in the food without evidence preconditions . we believe that is obvious that the directive and the legal basis 133 are of this directive , as proposed by the commission in the amendment 1 . of agreement with the court , a total ban of advertising is not justifiable in behalf of the internal market . in regard to the we are going , as ' under content in tar ' , ' ' and ' light ' , yet i it remains that are misleading , and by that i am against the amendments 10 and 30 . and i also speak of duty in the treaties . the rapporteur , mr maaten , with good criterion has proposed strengthen this legal basis with a reference to another article , the article 133 on the foreign trade , and also has proposed a number of changes in some of the articles the subject of avoid that is option to challenge this directive on the basis of the case-law established by the judgment of the court of justice . i am very sorry that also in the legal affairs committee and internal market have been positions that consider that , in some way , the judgment of the court of justice on to the ban of advertising empty content of this proposal of directive . indeed , in a member of the commission of the environment , public health and consumer policy , i received strong pressure of several groups in the sense of regulate of a more strict the sale and presentation of the products of tobacco in europe . however , and this is all a irony , not see in this directive no ban of grow tobacco in of the community , in spite of that in countries greece as the tobacco that is grown is so strong that , under this directive , its employment for the production of tobacco products would be establishing of crime . i think that is also necessary to thank mr byrne for have said so clearly in regard to the legal basis . more of the million people die every year absurdly in the european union , and this figure is to grow if not act now . in my opinion , this legal basis nor helpful and for that reason is that the trade unions right , that the companies and that our colleagues here of relate to the loss of jobs . i that it is for the warnings increases , which is included a list of ingredients reasonable , that for research in europe , all that measures of promotion of the health that contribute to further to the young people the consumption of tobacco , the tar , of the nicotine and of the addiction . also in the commission of the environment had readiness to reach a compromise . in the mrs . the exemption would apply to article 3 , as i understand the amendment , is to say , the levels of tar , nicotine and carbon monoxide . given the nature of the general directive , not cannot separate a parts of the other and , therefore , that we wasting all . the estampación of a warning of great size in some cardboard would be a solution . finally , in the report is has tabled a total of 54 amendments , and i am pleased to inform you of that the commission can accept 33 , is , either wholly or . the main argument to favour of these amendments and of the drafting of a report after five years is to the question of the enlargement of the european union , the which , as is said in the summit of nice , is very timely and appropriate . in short , summertime is go to the couple with a greater quality of life , of the way that benefits the period in which it has offset practices the problems associated with the passengers own change . the time of the problem is not summer of our common europe . a review only by the commission in five years is enough . furthermore are the demands of the manufacturers of computers or of tachographs electronic , or of timetables and agendas . madam president , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , is to be quickly and not the way of bureaucratic medical research , necessary for the patients , but it is in that respect must be strictly ethically justified , borders and the people of the experiments purpose must be protected as possible against the abuse . this is a distinction important that we here in our report . so , although there are still some points of disagreement with the council , i would like to point out that the result that we obtain the by adoption of this directive is the result of a long and fruitful work of commitment by the mr liese , our rapporteur , the that thank and congratulate for its management participatory and constructive , and by the council , that it has been cooperative and open to the amendments adopted by the commission of the environment in second reading . i think on all in the framework of the research in the fight against the cancer , but there are many other . unfortunately , in spite of the measures on , are new threats and diseases , and in many occasions the medicines that are not enough to to eradicating them . is a duty of the community medical seek ways updated or more effective against these challenges . the vote will take place tomorrow at 12.30 p.m . what we agreed with the council and with the commission and , of course , with the commission of the environment and public health policy of the consumer parliament , to prevent a second reading and to continue without obstacles these programmes and that is not created empty , was that yes , that is in two years will widen the four programmes , as called for the commission , but that the money is to annually , of way that , if meanwhile had the approval and fall into the new programme on the health , not outside the necessary enlargement and that is used the money for the second year . of a general way , it is time that the countries of states are of agreement in the european union to give , on a subject legitimately supranational , a greater flexibility and a budget appropriate : the diseases are not borders . in fact , international organisations as europol have said that the import of drugs to the union this increase . the public health is part of the policy and must be national . of next item is the debate of the report ( a5-0355 / 2000 ) of the mrs cerdeira morterero . , on behalf of the commission of freedoms and rights of the citizens , initiative , on the initiative of the portuguese republic with a view to the adoption of a framework decision on the status of the victim in the process criminal ( 9650 / 2000 - c5-0392 / 00 - 2000 / 0813 ( cns ) ) . another initiative to international is the statement of the un on the fundamental principles of justice to the victims of the crimes and abuse of power , approved by the resolution 40 / 34 of the house general of of 1985 . as you know perhaps the debate that took place for some time in this house on the so-called report di pietro . this initiative has three aspects : the right fundamental of the victim to the information , the access to the justice and the right to compensation . however , in my opinion , the point more significant is the fact of which finally be taken conscience , also in the area of the union , of the need to change the point of view on to the intervention of the state of the crime . we should make to the member states to that fundaran units of the special police to the victims of crime . italy has asked in many the extradition of this murderer to france , where multiple lojacono is free , for that can finally fulfil its worth . the victims must be in the centre of the attention . as pointed out , the draft framework decision contains three different types of measures : firstly , establishes minimum rules on the rights of the victims , secondly , lays down specific to to consider the situation particular of those victims of a crime in the country of the state of origin and , thirdly , invited to the member of the development measures of support to the victims . it is working in the interconnection to european level of the services of national support to the victims with the subject of ensure a proper attention of the victims , in particular if not lie in the place of the commission crime . approval of the minutes of the yesterday 's sitting has the floor of the new mr varela , president of the commission of fishing , responsible for the fund . it excellent . the last tuesday , in a trialogue have given the last treaties and not any statement to the joint council and the parliament . of this way , we have achieved a solution to the budget 2001 . we must consider how internally in the sector of the policy of aid to ensure that all the existing needs progress in direction to procedures transparent . ask the behalf and we said : ' is the innombrable ' . the council has been , therefore , to the second reading of the budget in the agreements signed with the delegation of parliament , with the wish of constant vote a budget to finance all the priorities of the european union and respond to the real needs and to the capacity of real implementation of the appropriations . the third element of this second reading important the council concerns the agreement reached on the allocation of the programme ' entrepreneurship ' that is and complete the programme ' employment ' for the initiative years 2001 to 2005 . of more general , i that the budgetary procedure that is to end in of a days has shown the interest of all interinstitutional agreement of 6 may 1999 . the discussions were to sometimes an , but always were relevant and based on trade permanent that have allowed understand better each other and , therefore , be more easily to a agreement , i hope that is satisfactory to all . it is essential that , as a result of the democratisation of serbia , no country of the region of the balkans , have now of less aid of the proposed before of taking place this development in serbia . of fact , the use repeated , two years followed , the instrument of flexibility can be , wrongly in my opinion , as a way of revision of the financial perspectives . haug has to do some changes . today we have heard the council say that is prepared to apply a increase of 3.5 % . thank you very particularly to the commission and the council . mr president , i also due to the madam haug for their excellent work . i suspect that is , of a sencilla- the flexibility is to the amounts and the review small for the great , but in the coming years will how . is the situation in that have to decide if we adopt or not this budget next thursday . of course the , is that it very carefully . but the agreements between the three institutions interinstitutional are also important that a good tackle that we have a common security of planning . the increasing pressure on all the concerns unemployment , to the crisis of the bse and the stability to the balkans . . ( fr ) madam president , ladies and gentlemen , i european is very welcome to you today to be present the results of the french presidency of the union and also to assess the progress in months . the promised : not is no concerns me , namely of nice . is the procedure of the intensified that it has given widely in the first and third pillars . is the time to a huge challenge and also a historic to the reunification of our continent . thank you to this letter our union is strengthens , more sure of the values of dignity , of freedom and solidarity of which the based . and for a weeks , the ievolu on board the sun , that their chemicals , is averiaba close of the islands anglonormandas . we had set objectives and we have done . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , european this six months , i believe say today , has been to our union be prepared to accept new states , to get to the family now that we are sure to work together to be strengthened , also in the heart of our fellow citizens in the area of the values , in the the growth of employment , in the of the solidarity , in the of the safety and the preservation of the european social model , be strengthened and gain in hearing in the world . these are some of the issues that were subject to the attention of the heads of state and of government . i will quote another , a new , that the feeling , will be of importance , because that in nice also has discussed the own organisation of the summits , its weight , its complexity and its nature , and the council travelling european has taken the sensible decision of go celebrándolas all in brussels . however , is very worrying that the number of states of the parliament has been , in short , as variable of compensation for the balance of the council . to these problems and to other associated with the same will devote more attention in the future , of a role of defence to a greater role of proposal . ( applause ) ( applause ) the ambition that was to nice was the greater ambition for a european meeting in the summit the . madam president , mr president of the republic , mr president of the commission , ladies and gentlemen , the opinion of my group is severe for the fifteen after the spectacle promising that have given to the european , probably appalled to see in this time and in direct what really happens with the view common , with the spirit of solidarity , with the confidence mutual of the main european leaders . for any mind clear-sighted , are anunciadores of very serious consequences to which the us the project of europe federal with 27 or 28 member states . i will also stress , mr president , that after nice of france , is again as only loser . madam president , mr president , the group for the europe of the democracies and the differences regrets that the presidency has not follow the message that i was conveyed in july last . many are not even the port the that must ' into the european union . therefore , there is also a limit that must be considered . i think that is not only the opinion of the three groups but also of other but that have not been sign for technical reasons . so , is desirable promote the development of medicines in the community , as that of this way is possible to offer the patients opportunities of benefit of treatments highly effective . i congratulate my colleague mary honeyball for its first report to the european parliament . the has the floor the mr fatuzzo and i am very curious what you said pensioner has now what . the victim must be treated as a person in a particular situation of disorientation and anguish ... factors that are much more serious probably , if the victim of crime is in the country of it . of next item is the joint debate on : was distressing to see is the debates on when it came to the question of know who is to you a vote would more or less a vote , who gain , if germany or france , if the netherlands or belgium , if portugal or spain . we welcome of that is a new method and we hope that , after this hope , that is based on the possibility of the intensified , europe continue , that is capable of producing , of the future , a constitution that back to our fellow citizens the hope , in this formidable project that is the european adventure . the member candidate that it is for the enlargement , will the example of our own member egoism of states . some are more happy that other , but the message fundamental is clear : europe can now meet in a democratic and enlarged eu , that is , above next to its citizens you the treaty of nice . has dominated the particular interest . the agreement undertaken only in extremis on the treaty , it has prevented a crisis open that have in question the enlargement , but we can speak of a crisis with the underlying that now we . i do not think that is more realistic fight for reaffirm its own prestige national that fight for the efficiency of the operation of the union and not believe that the european citizens mobilised in mass to continue the battle shipbuilding of their governments in nice . i , however , and what great project , eleven years after the fall of the wall of berlin . that was valid for average europe and now we have to do so for all it . after of nice , no invoke the obstacle institutional . firstly , the imbalance institutional : the council , the commission much and the parliament little . this method has died . the consequences for europe would have been absolutely incalculable . for example , you know that the principle of the european union , the minority of blockade could make with the call that two countries ' great ' , and currently two . the area is paid , the enlargement is possible , the european parliament has its own place in the debate , in the deepening of the developing and of the ideas . the well , the european public that nobody is at tampere , the mr moscovici has right in this point - , cannot be based in the amount of the national interests that are cross and is , in policies cancel each other and this sense , the prime minister verhofstadt has launched a message el salvador . recommend that were ratified . personally , i believe that the reweighting of the votes must be the people , as is in the european parliament and we should have made also in the council . but nice , mr president , is not the end of the way , but the point of departure of a new stage with many challenges . for this , i return to what that has already been said here today in the . but , in fact , is that we have succeeded the paralysis of the total future european union enlarged , the wishes of the french presidency have not been reflected in the be new draft treaty . mr president , for my part , nice is , frankly , a inadequate . i do not know if the commission will the end of this debate , but i would like to know , given the absence of the council , if has the same confidence in that in this parliament 2004 european will have members czechs , hungarian and polish and of the baltic countries . we have not hidden the need to make progress with the same force and the same determination that we before nice by the way of the enlargement to achieve the objectives that have and that is the more important with the quotation history that the parliament and the commission , in the coming years . furthermore , and especially , the problem of the funding of the balkans is resolved in the coming years . for my part , i would like to congratulate the rapporteurs , the president of the commission of budgets , to the commission , the council and to the presidency for the work done , for the conclusion of this agreement that we will vote for the budget the year 2001 . that is also positive is put to the provision of small and medium-sized companies , as main creators of jobs , increases . of this way will create new jobs and continuing the fight against unemployment . in terms football , is as a important issues to 1 . not because we have a budget and we have achieved a agreement in the conciliation we imagine that all our problems have disappeared . this important the won the air , but not of the treaties , but to times the council to come about . this must be of a compromise of the commission for a fair distribution of the resources and effective human and material for the management of the different policies , is say , must remember the priority of parliament and the political priority of management of the commission . for this , the task of the common european level is precisely the of promote the protection and regeneration of the environment . lot of the era . of course , is right in referring always to this question . it is not speaks of fear to the violence military , or of a possible progress of the dictatorship . if we look at it , is that russia is something to morocco in the budget , and i believe that this is not right . if the european were to be logísticamente of russia , it would create a situation very dangerous . and here a tacis programme can only speak of a very limited way by not say that can only be a drop of water in the ocean . decreases the birth and increases the death , and the reduction net of people is the order of a million people of the year . the own mr putin , and it would worse that he says , that the issue of the future status of chechnya is not the main . what happens in russia , with the people , with the society , you care . mr president , the european union has adopted in the past years various documents associated with russia that is a good basis for a close with the russia . and furthermore , what means the freedom to the people of chechnya ? this is the first step , then we will achieve that the laws are respected , which would be the second step . furthermore , the economic development will provide more stability , and fourth , as result of the previous , will features of the society of the citizens . but is a report excellent that , as the common strategy , own underlines the importance that we attach to the relationship cooperation estratégica- - between the european union and russia . that means focus our measures in areas crucial as the environment - that is have referred several of as the nuclear safety and , in the region of kaliningrad and in the improvement of the coordination between the different sources of funding . we must avoid the mistake the that one of you spoke and that is made the beginning of this century , when , after the revolution of leninista of 1917 , russia was completely excluded of the european disastrous with . . ( fr ) as know , the council has adopted a common position on the revision of the directive 90 / 220 / ec . therefore , i think that on this side are answered the questions that raised . so , i am quite prepared to propose that we have this debate , simply , is that choose the most appropriate framework . . ( fr ) i have not elements of information sufficiently precise to respond to your supplementary . not can say that is not precise information about this . . ( fr ) the council reminds to you that the conclusions adopted in its meeting of 19 may 1998 on fraud in the sectors of the tobacco and alcohol . all the member states have confirmed the will of the the fraud , both in its internal as in the context of their relations . the european union has said in a number the respect all that it is the right of asylum . in this regard , the agreement of partnership acp-comunidad european signed in cotonou in june of 2000 establishes that the community ensure , by 2005 , the access to franchise of rights to the essential of the products from the least-developed countries . may i remind you that the presidency is not there to express the views of so-and-so or mengano , of any government , but are , in a time ' x ' , a moment " t " , the positions of the council . will a system of compra-destrucción of these cattle not addressed with the end of the compensating farmers the price of the market . the french presidency has liked , from the principle , which were a response to this european crisis , that is a crisis food , a social crisis and a health crisis . . ( fr ) in the framework of the process of barcelona , algeria signed a number of principles , including the rule of law . - ( fr ) i have already spoken , some weeks ago , of explain some comments on the preparation of the session particular of the house general of the un on the monitoring of the world summit on to the children in september of 2001 . subject : obligations of turkey in the agreements preparations proposal of the commission on to the agreements of partnership between the european union and turkey calls for the european council to look again at the situation on to the differences of , particularly in regard to their impact on the procedures of accession , with the ensure that the court of justice the international resolved before the end of that year 2004 . in this framework of the partnership that we have mentioned , we are to discuss on this issue the council and the turkish government ? we are respect the rights to the properly defence and will of the other ? furthermore , each member state must take the decision , sovereign national , or not of compromise troops national in the operation . subject : the importance of tax for the internal market in a article published in the financial times in the month of november , the president of the commission says that not be a harmonisation of the taxes and will be established levels of common taxes in the eu already that the levels tax competition are of the national parliaments and should be . the questions nos 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 and 32 will replied . the agreement of stabilisation and association republic of croatia / european union is in the appropriate time . mr president , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , firstly i congratulate mr collins for his report , especially for the rapid report therefore has been important and right react quickly to the developments in croatia , what has already mentioned that the colleague stenzel . the results in this context are really positive . in 1991 / 92 were more of 250 000 croats of the kraina , of the slavonia western and eastern . this has been , certainly , a year for the historic south-eastern europe . i think that is not a bad record for a year . it is of a point important for us and i hope that we have the support of parliament when we look to you officially , a time that we negotiated the agreement . the reaction against the government wahid is strong and the process is stagnating . the same , the leaders of papua are imprisoned . the same , in our resolution , we in the european commission that is this policy . this is justify the terms of the communication of the commission of the beginning of year , even when was with some form of those changes therefore . the justice that is not for and the camps that is create delays , which are areas of conflict between the old and the new powers indonesians and give the idea of the process of democratisation fragility . the more devastating is that in the moluccas , the warriors of jihad can act in of unacceptable way . irian jaya is also victim of the policy of migration . and , for that , we know that choose priorities , not we mix in the same level environmental issues , issues of political , social issues of economic policy with the fundamental problem of respect of the democracy and the human rights , which must be clearly a priority policy of our relationship with indonesia . this resolution states categorically that irian jaya form part of indonesia . the situation has improved and we must encourage the wahid government , but there are still problems horrendous . it is clearly unacceptable that tens of thousands of refugees of east timor will hostages to mercy of bandits armed that , on behalf of patriotism indonesian , to escape the punishment for the last criminal . it is by its size , the fourth country in the world population ; what is by its level economic : it is by its role regional ; it is for their environmental impact . for this , we have that the resources and instruments police , administrative and criminal both between the member states and with the eu . ( the president cut the speaker ) mrs schreyer , you have stressed here in this house in various occasions that , as commissioner responsible for the fight against the fraud , is the task in particular in the ensure the independence of olaf . is the creation of a same administration in the economic community the cause of the problems because the models of redistribution of money of the taxpayers community established by the so-called ' communities ' are not designed and in many case are absolutely not desired . i would like to congratulate the rapporteur much -alguien to which i admire as person and as for this report - , but , unfortunately , not . the report is on the protection of the financial interests of the community and on how we deal with these and it is of issues of the more important . because the restriction of time i shall be brief in the statement of the various points . the debate is closed . we have a legislation of the eu to protect the companies of this mismanagement and the commission now has promised to their own regulations to ensure that not delay the payments . we have other mechanisms to highlight examples of fraud not informed before . you , mrs schreyer , has just mention the council by saying that there was a member state which is opposed to the creation of a european tax . i believe , therefore , that is very understandable that the parliament to the court of auditors what precisely that hopes of these reports . and the commission and the member states should be exempt of its responsibility , particularly not by the reference to the mutual responsibility of the other . the said completely and complained that the outside . has been a very useful step for the matter and i believe that has been very also aware for its part include in its deliberations to the commission and the court of auditors of the before preparation of this report . can see in my explanations that i reasonable discussion on these proposals to do is to more closely the responsibilities . the first failure crucial is the lack of harmonisation . for this , i believe that we improve that also the internal market . within the single market the investors , are private companies , or funds of sustainability must be exercise the rights of ownership in favour of the companies in the invest and for the investors in them . not cannot ignore to the reality : when is a acquisition of actions are restructuring of staff , redundancies . but , what is the that we to do as parliament under the amendments of ? that is the principle on the which perhaps we beginning : the principle primary of a law to regulate the mergers . on the contrary , would be easier resolve the problem of determine the powers of the authorities of control . the amendments the rapporteur create confusion in the area of the disputes and not be voting in favour of the confusion in cases of dispute possible . a point that i have in connection with this directive on the mergers is the of remember firmly that millions of voters of my country and millions of people have plans of pensions and savings based in investment in the market of values . the mrs . this procedure that already exists in some member states , is concerned , however , not only the area of the mergers , but that will further and could be possibly in the framework of general review of the commission in the right of societies . finally , i remind you that it is of a framework directive with the wish for the parliament in a previous stage . the right of participation is recognise the rights essential and sensitive of the artists plastics to receive a proportion of the product of the sales further of their works . firstly , the lobistas british fear the loss of jobs . in consequence , the compromise adopted by the council is not more that a weak reflection of the initial proposal of the commission , widely supported by the european parliament in first reading . i hope also the support of the commission , the least one of the in three major bottlenecks . it is also of a question on the vitality and the competitiveness of the art market in europe . in another case , the article would have been sold without doubt in another place , is that , in america . however , this amendment is only acceptable in part . competition of the postal services is my proposal , mr savary . firstly , we must ensure that the prices of the postal services are favourable . secondly , we achieve a high level of quality and , thirdly , we have to ensure that a high availability of postal services in all the areas of the european union . the legal affairs committee was more demanding in the limit of prices of the market the universal service , but is to its proposal on the limit of weight of 150 grammes and common the rejection of the 50 established in the proposal of directive . finally , the a new date of liberalisation in both not has a prior assessment . we know very well the difficulties that this issue is so full ideologically , to times for both . therefore , to spite of that this measure can find a good reception between certain members of this house , its consequences would be devastating for the post of all the european union . also will have the closure of small shops that offer post in the countryside , because they are of the postal services for their survival . if we to our pace , we need 100 years to achieve a market open to the services of postal services in europe . madam president , i would like to make three comments . in our deliberations on this new directive should have clear a particular issue . not is so or case . if there is a fair competition , the monopoly can show that know their profession . however , if the grandmother is pleased to receive the visit of a postman , which kind is also of the post of high quality , not that must be deplored , but that should also welcomed . who comes as ill-prepared to a negotiation , who has presented the report requested on the impact registered in 1997 , who argues with approaches ideological especially the objectives that you have mentioned is only be if liberalise , liberalise and liberalizamos- , not must therefore if is a pity as far as is its face and . mr bolkestein , the commission is the guardian of the treaties . bolkestein , also , for example , the mail cross-border . is as if call for a count the average income between the rich and the very poor , the result could be arithmetically satisfactory , but not could be socially acceptable , because , obviously , the existence of the very poor . at times new mr simpson . the governments that they were not socialists , but conservatives or liberal . from that was the proposal , for me was clear that the proposal never be acceptable in the way that the commission presented the . because this openness and on this liberalisation are all of agreement , but the rate is important . the effects of the first directive is not have made already that the public consequences are obvious : loss of employment and degradation of the conditions of work , inequality of operation of the public service in all the territory , mainly in the field and in the areas popular . the proposal of the commission provides for a progressive opening , what that in my opinion will improve the services that will provide the consumer to a lower price . is a fundamental requirement for the development of sector of the direct . i appeal to express conservatives . let me say this to an post : if this happens , i will be a valuable breathing space . we only hope is that we overcome the situations consumadas and overcome the corporatism selfish to do that europe really progress . only it has liberalised the 3 % of the market of letters . we will relegated to the technology and ignored by the consumers that they will not get a good service for their money . only the introduction of competition real of a way controlled and gradual , according to a timetable , you will help to achieve this objective . on the amendments 60 and 61 , i agree with the principle of complete the internal market in a future date that must be within a reasonable period of . the commission will present the same opinion and , therefore , the council will on the proposal of the commission as suits however , the parliament must speak now . my second report is so much the first and includes the amendments adopted by the house . is true , mr commissioner , that we have some reservations , and some differences . mr president , mr commissioner , ladies and gentlemen , i , firstly , congratulate the rapporteur , mr dary , so that we explicitly said the reform , its history and its synthesis - i am not going to employers unwilling to take . is a production that is in a number of regions special community , the outermost regions , which have a number of difficulties to compete in the markets and that any of the few products that have is that precisely , the bananas . of fact , is a restriction of chaos , because seeks to introduce rules for the that all we must hardship in rural areas . it is not say that this is a of the that have been a greater attention in all the institutions . we have of continue by without complex to these the means producers to live buying of a priority their production . mr president , we must thank the rapporteur and recognition for the treatment of this difficult report . also to thank the presidents of the political groups of this parliament that have accepted the persistence and the stubbornness of the members outlying to that this proposal of reform of the banana sector is discussed in this house today , we can give the opinion mandatory and the time to come to the meeting of the council of ministers of agriculture in the coming days and go in the year 2001 with a new reform of the com of the bananas . in the present debate was of the apparent unanimity in the commission of agriculture and rural development to the time of the support of mr dary report . ladies and gentlemen , i inform you of the presence in the gallery a delegation of the parliament of korea . this has allowed achieve a positive decision to favour the programme average in the council . report ( a5-0377 / 2000 ) the mr trakatellis , on behalf of the commission of the environment , public health and consumer policy , on the proposal of decision of the european parliament and the council [ com ( 2000 ) 448 - c5-0400 / 2000 - 2000 / 0192 ( cod ) ) on to the extension of certain programmes of action in the community of public health , adopted by the decisions no 645 candidates entered / 96 / ec , no 646 / 96 / ec , no 647 / 96 / ec , 102 / 97 / ec , no about 1400 / 97 / ec and no 1296 / 1999 / ec and for the amendment that these decisions mr president , i take the opportunity to remind you , in connection with the statements that the commissioner made to the 12.15 a.m. at of last night , that the amendment 1 committed to the commission . enjoyed hear that the mr . ( the parliament adopted the oral amendment ) amendment 2 : the parliament was forced to insist and present of new the majority of them ; the on size of the warning , the mention of the ingredients , the protection of consumer and especially of young people . we should , for some members , two categories of people , that that is protects and that that is in danger for economic reasons ? . ( i ) in particular interest in explain why i voted against the ban of export from the eu the products tobacco that overcome a certain level of nicotine and tar and by what i have supported the amendments designed to lift the ban . madam president , i would welcome the proposal radical of use images to illustrate the damage that the consumption of tobacco causes to the health , as do in canada . i believe that all this is positive , but i would like that - and i am in this time - is much more to prevent either the diseases . had preferred that this regulation is raised with a more consistent with the regulation activities to the citizens of all to the european union . zimmerling asestarán a fatal blow to the vitality of the market of art european , with the loss of jobs and , i fear , that will be very few the artists loud that benefit of this right of participation . . ( nl ) i would like to thank mr . zimmerling for their work in this complex issue . for this reason , i have to vote against the directive . and the agreement of stabilisation and association , the cards programme and the eib cannot be the main instruments of the contribution of the european union the economic and social development of croatia . the government and the indonesian army have the obligation of the ensure the safety of life and the citizens , regardless of credo that order to ensure . for this we must create can instruments combat more effectively the fraud of community funds . the measure would the eu in a legal area for purposes of research only , initiate proceedings judicial and implement the decisions on to this type of crime . to sometimes think that we view of this aspect . the amendments 11 and 13 have for objective that the system of quotas is not revised but to in 10 years , without which is now take no compromise on the adoption of the system of duty proposed by the commission only and called for several partners our trade . in the recital on to the preference for the acp countries , we are also of agreement with the amount of eur 300 per tonne , but we think the unnecessary added ' as maximum ' . furthermore , the possibilities of that our partners trade accept a extension so long would be virtually no . of next is to the statement of the commission on the summit eu / usa . it is easier said that it , but we should try to resist the temptation - and i know that the secretary of state albright shares this view - of that these summits are too shrouded in the heart of our relations political and economic daily . a of the main lessons has been that the european must take a more burden the promotion of the european security . i please look at this point in the communication planned for this spring and also submit , also the analysis that has requested the another sector of the house , proposals in connection with all the aspects that we in the possibilities of achieving goals in the future in the framework of dialogue and of the cooperation , in the area of the foreign policy and of the policy of security , but also in connection with issues pragmatic , as can be the agreements of opinion . i also knowledge of the ' everything but arms initiative ' , that welcome , and i urge the commission to take the conclusion of the summit to urge the usa to that will support this initiative . must therefore act to prevent the irreparable that hopes to those , as justice or recommendation pelletier , are in the corridor of the death for years . is a useful idea and certainly the will . thank you , mr commissioner . i fear that in this time i find under cross-fire of my own group . thirdly , must acudirse to formulae simple of the tax and , in particular , to the way of investment of the subject passive . the first conclusion is that we can do while not be the international framework . . mr president , the first point that wants to the commission to the that i represent is that the provisions in force are unfavourable to the providers of the eu of the following services : software , treatment of data and information services , web hosting [ practice of have websites of third parties ] , design of websites and information . always had heard that a of the first rules or principles of a legislator should be : not to laws that are not meet . i am pleased that in the report , in part to the commission much of the environment , it contains a number of important elements that were a support inadequate because a great many of circumstances in the commission of transport . however , to change the order in the existing international , we advocate that the amendment of the convention of chicago of 1994 . the position advantageous that can achieve short-term a country has to the expense of other or other member of the eu . mr president , europe will be pioneer in the use of internet in the next decade . there are those who are asking , mr commissioner , for what the european always are so quick to set taxes and establish new rules . the convention of chicago out-of-date in this point . not believe that the introduction of a common system of vat is a priority and i am not agree with the introduction of that a common system is necessary long . our objective must be , therefore , policies and simplify our tax systems and not increase , but reduce , the taxes . the preferable option in a is the kind of zero for the european e-empresas , for us policy towards cuba in equality of conditions that the us and of elsewhere . the competition tax is in the interest of the citizens and the economy . so , for that operators of outside of the union to be the same fiscal that the operators domestic when to services to consumers , must now to effects of vat in a member state of their choice , still the kind of vat of state elected the applied to its operations . is true that the situation is not , however , so simple . the place of origin in the that must apply the tax is of concern and i believe that the discussions on the number of countries that regret the conditions for the companies that can be registered is a difficult subject and , of course , will a complaint of the united states to the wto . no sense that i can travel of london to brussels ida and return for just 89 £ in virgin airways , for example , while that when i eurostar , that is many less gas and offers a way of travel much more comfortable , should pay the equivalent to a £ 250 for a journey similar . mr president , this debate is how mainly comes up at old demons . in order , it has spoken of proposals that have to the french presidency for the taxation that is in the place of consumption , with a obligation for the borrowers of be made in all the member states . the measure comes in position of disadvantage to the european in connection with those of third countries and create the structures of tariffs intra-community with regard to the intercontinental . however , i think that only in the framework of the oecd , and not through negotiations individual duties , can achieve a solution that should not cause a way out of capital of europe . i am aware of that certain states are carried with conflicting views . this form of prevent the complexity of the implementation of secondary macroeconomic criteria or similar . let me now deal with the proposal concerning the minimum level of the normal rate . a of the consequences secondary is that not be has done no groundwork of importance in the within the of groups of work of the icao and seems unlikely that during the next house general decision renegotiate the chicago convention . this feeling , unfortunately , still lives on in the spirit of today the public in europe . and the last objective of this directive is strengthen the management of the situations of urgency in the sea , by the obligation of designate ports of refuge , the ban to be of the sea for a strong storm and a greater powers of intervention in the sea for part of the state coastal in case of serious risk of pollution . the oil we say that have created a voluntary fund . i hope that after the impetus of nice , we have reduced the doubts and the resistance of some countries and it . we hope , of course , in it to ensure the safety at sea , because must know that not is not a week , to be given to questions from with this question : ' what do you , meps , to ensure the safety , to change the rules ? ' . . mr president , the commission is aware of that one of the plans announced by the government of the uk the 8 of november of 2000 is the introduction of a kind of rate for the users of the roads of the same kind that the euro-vignette which pay all the road hauliers , british and not by british as , for the use of the uk road network . secondly : if , of agreement with the original intention of minister , it proposes to the lorries foreign to support to the carriers of their country , is that is contrary to community law ? this imbalance of a economic between the rates and the taxes that are the carriers in the different member states distorts the conditions in the that the carriers of different nationalities compete in the uk . on the issue of bonemeal : its export is also for the legislation that regulates the production of meat and bonemeal and of bone in the european union , and also is subject to the obligation of delete of the bonemeal , for example , the offal , legislation that is to 1 march of 2001 . the jews are traitors and unfair . i have great hopes of that in all the countries of the region uncover the services of education that promote the tolerance and not the intolerance . the response of mr monti is not unexpected . question no 37 by ( h-0900 / 00 ) : furthermore , the commission will propose at the same time a defence mechanism of aid temporary , designed specifically to counter the unfair practices for the period necessary to the conclusion of procedure of the wto . this is a subject dramatic . the mr . the industry user benzene , metallurgical coke-works used in total 70 people to , but this product is not more that a very marginal part of their costs , on a 2 % . question no 40 by ( h-0889 / 00 ) : we transmitted our proposal to the acp countries virtually the same time that to our member states . this initiative has not furthermore as subject , i assure you regulate , in both the amounts additional that could imported in the community market are low . these countries have not , unfortunately , of the situation , no capacity of negotiations autonomous and therefore it is of a gesture that in my opinion we must do unilaterally , without any compensation . the procedure of the commission to give the financial aid will soon , and this will also to the resources that ecpat needs to the year 2001 . . ( in ) we are following three types of activities in this area . in the proposal of the commission is not the question is on the geographical location of the future court . . ( in ) i am not sure of what that you mean with ' proliferation ' . . ( nl ) the question of mr berenguer fuster relates to the trade marks . the i as a stimulus to resume our action and to that spain , what do that should do . to the question previous answer you that the fault of spain and that is what you will do that ; should in this case , however , the blame is of you . has been a good clarification to the answer is that i had given previously . the directive 89 / 48 / eec concerns qualifications of training with a minimum of three years after the secondary education . subject : services of shipping in the close of the gulf between ) and vaasa ( finland and umeå ( sweden ) the transport of close gulf of the will to make of work has because of that to be more efficient the companies i has private of the possibility of exercise the duty-free . for example , in the city of ) and vaasa ( to the that question , we have lost in the last two years 550 jobs precisely in the sector of tourism , probably because to this same cessation of the duty-free . this proposal is the objective of the summit of lisbon , because seeks to encourage the development and use of the digital applications . also , i appeal to the commission to draw up procedures of call of presentation of proposals more effective and rapid . but only the content has been useful to the companies , particularly the weather and the geography - which is very desirable , certainly - , minds that , as the content to the citizens , for this is much more complex that the information useful for the companies . the digital applications , which are more amount that quality , homogenizan and condensan the social diversity . the second point , as essential as the previous to my mind , is that take account to the smes , to the companies in stage of launch . however , if we of the need virtue , if we the perspective and see our languages not as barriers , but as bridges , as a advantage , and as such , they can use the be the basis of the european market and of a certain independence . i shall not dwell on the objectives of this programme : conditions favourable to the marketing , dissemination and use of the digital applications , with the end of promote the economic activity , extend the scope of employment , promoting the exploitation of the potential of the european digital applications in comparison with and to the usa . therefore , is increasingly important have of the conditions appropriate to the production of digital applications multilingual european . some of them are in themselves very valuable , but certainly will be better located in other instruments that in the present decision . the vote is not to make this afternoon and , if the group of this parliament more believes that tomorrow we should not vote , i think that it is right that this proposal is this morning , to the time of the vote and with the parliament in full , in time of it today , which i think premature . . ( nl ) mr president , ladies and gentlemen , ladies and gentlemen , in europe is increasingly citizens that are nuisance for the noise . the member states are free of determine when is the afternoon and when the period night that it is . i am pleased , therefore , for the proposal of the commission , but the see as a first step too cautious . in consequence , the reduction and prevention of noise nuisance must be in the future a fundamental aspect of the european environmental policy . the group of liberal , democrat and it is the very happy to support , but we would have liked have something further in the search of final solutions and in the way of dealing with to those that earn money with pollution by the noise . but , however , let me say something on the wrangling between down and on the fight behind in of the commission and to its around , in the last time and today , same here . in consequence , not hidden that my country will take a great difficulty in accept the proposal of the commission , except if this incorporates a mechanism of flexibility for which the way of life of our inherited ancestors and , furthermore , as appreciated both by the spanish and for our own foreign visitors , can be . however , i would recommend to the house the report and , of course , the proposal of the commission . secondly , are the directives relating to the rules arising of quality . i would like to support fully the need to harmonise the indicators of noise and methods of evaluation , all the area of maps of noise , the preparation of plans of action to reduce the noise and protect areas calm as appropriate and extend the scope of the information the public . secondly , the present proposal is a new approach to make a assessment of the situation of the general noise in europe , in terms of the number of people that are the noise . are acceptable , in principle or in part , the following amendments : 6 , 7 , 12 , 13 , 17 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 32 , 39 , 42 , 44 and 45 . furthermore , in general , the additives can be used not to the products not produced - what happens in this case - , is say , that not have been subject to any treatment that has changed substantially its initial state . mr president , in the commission of environment we have voted , along with the group of the ppe to favour the report of mr lannoye , which , furthermore , agrees with our aspirations . no one says that . of next item is the debate on the report ( a5-372 / 2000 ) the mr staes , on behalf of the delegation of the european parliament in the committee of conciliation , on the text on , adopted by the committee of conciliation , of the directive the european parliament and the council to change the directive 95 / 53 / ec of the council for that is establish the principles relating to the organisation of the official in the area of the union c5-0499 ( / 2000 - 1998 / 0301 ( cod ) ) . of the french i was a clear signal , a clear message . a message that said : ' not will ' . after lengthy negotiations in the committee of conciliation has finally reached a compromise acceptable : the guarantee of that the measures of protection for the commission will taken in force until that are replaced by another decision , and the commitment of the member states of provide all the aid to the officials of the commission are the controls there . i welcome this legislation . the structural funds of the eu , particularly through the esf , and the finances of the exchequer , must be always to the development of the areas disadvantaged and poorest of our society . the cities of europe are important economic , political and poles socio-cultural . other tools are clear laws and were . also , the commission welcomes the important support that you have given the european parliament in this proposal , and the many amendments of which have been tabled useful . given the nature of the activity , the commission can accept the amendments 10 and 23 . i famous because it is of a question that is very of fashion , and will agree that is not a day , that the principle of caution is not present in the headlines of the press , with or without reason , with or without reason , but the majority of the times of question . the maximalist to block the innovation and the progress , and that the minimalist recommends the principle of precautionary only in case of danger significant for the health and the environment , is that , when has remained a threshold that must be defined , but seen very well how . the clarification of the different functions that must make each is a prerequisite to restore the necessary confidence of public in the community scientific , and in the responsible of the decisions , the us political . in such situations to see a margin of security , for prudence . we have also asked measures in the within of the wto , perhaps a regulation , that guarantee the possibility of invoke other obligations in the context of the wto , such as the that we have made in the multilateral agreements on environment , to extend the scope of the principle of caution . of course , also important is increasing the weight of the legal principle of caution , into a rule of law international . the art of live is in a deal with these risks and and uncertainties of prudent way . as soon as used too , with what the being treated as unimportant , as it is less and is our indignation . we have , for example , the phthalates in toys . we have the strange idea of introducing in the sweets toys , ice-cream stall and other products feed . the same applies to the idea of the commission of make a comprehensive analysis of risks for . the resolution calls to the commission to use that the guidelines adopted and incorporate the principle of caution is necessary to that always in its legislative proposals and all its actions . is not possible provide a threshold of risk general . the first give the sakharov to defenders of the human rights that argue within the union of the european parliament , states that any violation of solemnly these has to be tackled without concessions . madam president , ladies and gentlemen , to all the citizens ' initiative members ' to express its gratitude to this parliament by the honourable recognition that today we gives . and not only is of murders . i do that is what i and that confidence in me . ( the parliament adopted the legislative resolution ) madam president , if this house i may i make a comment to the oral amendment 51 tabled by me . report ( a5-0334 / 2000 ) of mr garcía-margallo y marfil , on behalf of the commission of emac , on the communication of the commission the council , the european parliament , the economic and social and the committee of the regions on the taxation of fuel of aviation [ com ( 2000 ) 110 - c5-0207 / 2000 - 2000 / 2114 ( cos ) ) the present agreement is to some companies , but is harmful to the environment and the democracy . the most important happened in our discussions unprecedented is obviously the crisis of the so-called ' mad cows ' . this will clearly against the letter and the spirit of the agreements above-mentioned of the heads of state and of government on the issue of the seats . the parliament has achieved some aspects priority be converted , between other , more to combat unemployment and poverty , the many issues on the environment and to the equal opportunities between men and women . voted against of the attacks of the right against the life programme and against european women 's lobby . the importance of the resources that are available for kosovo not , however , is of raise questions legitimate on the capacity of real absorption of this region of the yugoslavia of 350 million that what had to in 2001 . not there is no reason to give tax to a certain way of distribution . the setting of a final date would be a clear information for the various players of the postal market and the national monopolies to prepare better for the liberalisation . do we have with a mere decision , supported perhaps by a majority reduced , all a concept of services , concept that is its roots and their explanations in the peculiarities of each state ? the limits proposed by the commission of 50 to with a rate of to twice and the average rate official are really too drastic and should devastating for the providers of services universal . hence our clear and firm opposition to the most of the proposals to the that is . . ( sv ) we believe that the postal services are not a matter that should be in the eu , although the proposal , after the commission in the treatment , it has improved much in relation to the original of the commission . dary report ( a5-0374 / 2000 ) however , we believe that must be of the consequences of this war to the small producers that work in their plantations without exploit to anyone , and their income referred the fluctuations of the market . of the 10 the freedom of opinion means a number of obligations and responsibilities which can lead to conditions , limitations and sanctions . matter of this initiative since the value of the european digital applications is the 5 % in terms of european gdp and 4 million in terms of employment . in these conditions , are particularly its coherence and its unity that what has assured us to the a pre-eminence in this market with future . i hope also that is when , in 2004 , in this distribution of powers , applying the criterion of subsidiarity to that the regions and the meanwhile can have its status within of the union . we only welcome this . for example , in the negotiations trade which i mentioned , the national parliaments are deprived of their recent rights of ratification , and a country , if minority is in the council , not can already say ' no ' when a negotiation violates their interests . we have repeatedly warned of the dangers of this and place in nice is also with made that a agenda considerably broader could have result in that is not had any result for years with disaster for the enlargement . . ( in ) given the importance of the fundamental decisions that were adopted in of the summit of nice , is that recognise the merits where the there . in other words , what that means the parliament is control on the taxation and the issues of social security . these agreements of the council negotiated in long at night not offer no support sure . gaps are important on issues of as transparency , promotion of the identity , more democracy , or public awareness reform . for that , we must see their conclusions as the result of a compromise of the that nobody has been entirely winner and overcome . on the contrary , reduces the influence of the national democracies by the restriction of the right to veto and to that is more to the european parliament . therefore , is that favour of this proposal that is therefore the imposition of the aircraft , because of this way the their airline tickets will cost us any and , in consequence , we can travel more with the transport of this . ' ' not passes short of the balcones of the houses , you can be a one above . the complexity and diversity of technological change and of the process of structural change incorporation of the urgently require all the partners local and regional in the associations to regional development , the feature of the designs strategic of regional policy for each region . we must , therefore , strive to avoid anything that could stifle or yet these three important conditions . to say that the innovation is the scope of all the players that are around the production process . the gap between the regions more developed technologically and the less is more , that the gdp of their own . as you know , the argument of fundamental bureaucrats is the danger of making . i do not know if was a direct of the initiative risi that three ladies have signed the european budget , but it this christmas now vote benefit in a future to the women . also is a mistake reduce the budget in a chapter as this was given to pilot schemes , to new ideas in the development of local and urban - a results more that aceptables- that have been on the basis of community programmes such ladies and locally and are urban and interreg . rack , i have understood and not to never this regional policy and this policy of cohesion as a kind of money that is ago to the poorest regions . this is the reason for the that , when i am in the negotiations , currently , of the docup , more that turn of innovative actions , i refer to mainstream , i extremely close to that each of the documents of programming has a plan regional of access to the society of the information and verifico the quality , beyond the scope of this programme regional , particularly in directly to the small and medium-sized companies , colleges and even the farms . the response of the commission to the question of mr . the price of construction of new vessels fall dramatically in recent years to in 1999 , because to the policy damage our own case , the lowest . the commission had that make a vote for this particular point that was today in the agenda of the debates . furthermore , this concept is in accordance with the treaty . not have time to discuss this in more detail . however , the proposal of the commission , which includes a aid to the research and development , the problem of what happens in korea to the wto , work with price below even the coste- , and the possibility of that has measures of aid transitional in both the resource is not resolved , we think , perhaps , a more or less weak , but at least a solution . the same time we must increase the pressure on korea , taking measures anti-dumping , of be possible in the framework of the oecd . is say that we are already , the unemployment and the other gentlemen are the that really do the business with the shipyards . i think that for a inventory excellent the shipbuilding sector in europe , a real inventory . this process will not rapid results and , in case of up to its final , up to two years . the mechanism would apply to the decision on this procedure of the wto . i am sure of that now we are all united to defend with force and with the freedom in fortress europe , but i wanted to say that , more that the solidarity of the colleagues in the european parliament , in spain we need the compromise . going for waters of sicily , than for the month of may , the heart nuclear was worrying signs of deterioration . it would be alarming that , in this situation , not be quickly . in both the we need of that the two member states concerned , the uk and spain , cooperate closely in the search of the solution safer for the repair of submarine , maintain - naturally - to the public fully informed . we have heard statements of the responsible of armed by saying that the british breakdown not had importance , and other said that no , that was of scale and that needed of repairs long and difficult . i know that the house understands that it would state here of have been possible , correspondiéndome to me respond in its place . the commission is examining this plan . already are , therefore , let us be realistic on the options of that the authorities have the uk and of gibraltar that are the subject . the cooperation calm is the method that used our union . the british government is as it was recently the russian government for a breakdown in one of its submarines . mr president , to me also my heartfelt to our colleagues spanish to the last murder of terrorist eta . the commission , in its clear response of two months ago and in its answer of today , has had the responsibility of this that , but not the recognition of the proposal resolution of the people 's party that , with other trivializaciones the matter , we have prevented share . the minister main peter caruana has asked wisely to a group of experts that receive their information directly . this is , and is to our view , the position more coherent and the best guarantee that the interests and the safety of all the parties involved . maij-weggen and mr posselt , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; in 1980 the unhcr was of five million of refugees . we welcome today the unhcr had and the whole of the staff humanitarian . . mr president , the commission i , naturally , the support that the parliament has given the unhcr in the fiftieth anniversary . i would like to a wider issue that is very important for what you said before . b5-0909 / 2000 of the mrs pack and others , on behalf of the ppe-de group ; and the last problem that i would like to mention is the of the terrible events in the border between serbia and kosovo . there must be milosevic and not in the conference of the in belgrade . we also that in the same kosovo the mentality of the ethnic that are bickering give to the mutual respect . however , we give flowers say also that the european union has responded very quickly to the new situation . b5-0915 / 2000 of his and others , on behalf of the pse group ; b5-0918 / 2000 of the mrs napoletano and others , on behalf of the pse group ; the chilean government guaranteed that , in chile , the general pinochet would a fair and , in fact , in this time the general pinochet has lost his immunity and the judicial authorities chilean are working against it . and let me remind you that is important that we this joint resolution , still now pinochet in chile , what we do not when pinochet was in the uk . i say this to knowledge of that these are the views of the fundamental parties of the group and of the greens of this house . mr president , before of starting to my speech i also would like to the condemnation of attack that has cost the life to a future of the people , and to a militant and party municipal councillor in catalonia , in spain . for this reason , i welcome of that group and , to my view , the majority of our parliament , not be to play the role of platform for the exploitation of the current crisis . its life is in great danger . the league of the human rights is suspended , their local are secure and it its president , moktar trifi , has been announced to the courts , as have just said , the 25 of december . activists of human rights , states of unions , professional , journalists and students report constantly on the atrocities that are the authorities . the state is extremely sensitive . the harassment official and the tundas that receive all the democrats really have widespread . i hope that in this case the judicial system chilean to demonstrating independence and efficiency . we know that the heads of mission of the european union are pursuing the situation in the country policy . finally , i would like to mention the role played by the parliament crucial , that has helped to make to and intensify the dialogue on these issues visits by parliamentary and by public debates as this . laurent gbagbo must start a real policy of reconciliation national , that includes break with the speech on the concept of ivoirité , the amendment of the constitution racist and the holding of elections democratic where none of the candidate excluded . otherwise , the risks of secession and civil war , increase . mr president , for months the news of costa of marfil have been causing justified alarm in the public and the relevant european parliament in our concern . conditions for this are : that nobody feels excluded , to remove the supreme established by the military power , and that the head of state is involved unambiguously in the process of restoration democratic and that is what the views of the committee for the national reconciliation . the concept of ivoirité i think , to my view , perfectly justified . there are available around of average dozen of copies in the presidency . mr president , on behalf of the group of the greens , we also withdraw our proposal of resolution . mr president , what i said mr . ( parliament approved the minutes ) with regard to these people , the member states must have different implemented both the issue of the assistance necessary as the issue of the coverage of the expenditure , especially in benefit of the disabled people whose family not can be really office of them all and completely . mr president , i am very pleased intervene on behalf of the group of the european european and congratulate the rapporteur for this excellent report . currently , the people and has finalize of life much to the resources , to the health information , to the assistance , to the homes and to the systems of pensions . the that can do something , with many recommendations , are the governments of the member states , the governments of the meanwhile , provinces and local authorities . the basis of this concept of the life is in the family , where the people , from the children . with often happens that , in the last years of our life , enfermamos very seriously , we are totally disabled and we need the support of all . i would like , finally , stress something on the slovenia . also there were claiming that the women should not participate in the work that the men have to work . in a first analysis , this can be a disadvantage . we that seek the means and the way to that it is . the countless elderly active should encourage us to all to fight for a society where the solidarity between the generations not only is a catchword . these measures must be appropriate to the different situations and characteristics in regard to the quality of life and to the self-sufficiency economic . only a common effort permanent we can help to deal with them . must be a margin appropriate for the preferences and decisions individual . if someone is all the objects that you are to our colleague , will that the delivered , on all its glasses , because the mrs flemming was behind of you , mr fatuzzo . finally , it would be necessary to introduce explicitly in the text the possibility of make actions in favour of the products of the outermost regions and of its logos . another issue that must be stressed the methods of production are in europe , environmentally friendly with the environment and with the animals . for this i also i welcome the creation of a group of work on biotechnology in the european parliament this week . of course , these measures of communication institutional must rather complete the operations advertising organised on all for the great distribution . if we had transposed the proposals of parliament , that is adopted in here three occasions by majority - but this shows once more the impotence of parliament , in the sense of that in the areas of set-aside is could grow legumes , could be put grown and allow that pastase the cattle , we have been of more basic food , of more proteins for the cattle . this is the responsibility of producers , of the sellers and of the organisations of the branches of production , but not of the european union . we of ask why we have failed in the past to the time of provide that the european industry led the resources available . certainly , if we produce and promote food of a more charitable for the environment , aware of the conditions of the animals and sell in the international markets , we would then be to really the vocation original of the common agricultural policy . as to the amendments 9 and 22 , in the calling the creation of a committee of management , and the particular amendments 7 , 19 , 23 and 27 , in the other amendments that are the procedure , i must say that the commission must adhere to the rules of procedure consistent . all the that remember that in europe is still possible to have reason to eat . mr president , is scientifically shown that the consumption of moderate wine is a of the best ways of preventing the cancer , the matter , the alzheimer 's disease and many other . . ( nl ) i would like to commend the rapporteur for the work done .
